the me ah ah, so many social democrats declare victory as election results in the nations federal ballad see the center left volunteer, finish ahead of angular, michael c. d u, which itself love to a good story. glo. better late than never made the final express concern about claims that was plotting to kidnap potentially kill julian sons. allegations currently being reported by yahoo news. they were 1st that an investigative journalist last year right here on our britain's feel. sure, with each crisis deepens with long tail banks and petrol stations. you can government those says it's the public school for panic. volume

ah, good evening. thanks for joining me here on, on t international. so the results are in from germany, federal election with the outcome set to determine who replace angler. mantle is chancellor in what will be the 1st change at the top since 2005. the preliminary results show it is the center left social democrats who finished top party lead a shelf declared victory saying that he has a mandate to lead the nation anglo americans. christian democrats came 2nd public support for them. dropping to a historic low visibility calls from within the c d. u for leadership to step down

. after that showing and 3rd place came, the greens, which many now see is being potential king makers in upcoming coalition talks correspondent liter oliver's in berlin. with a full breakdown of the votes and what it means for germany. these preliminary result results are written. they usually fairly accurate. we won't get the official result for a little while yet. but what it shows is the social democrats, how would they select, should they want it in the turn that they've collected, the most amount of votes. it doesn't mean that they directly get the form of government just yet will have more or not. just let wild jen and politics never as simple as that, but yes, when it comes down to clear winners and losers, the winners have been the social democrats picking up almost 26 percent of the vote . and when you look at the fact that just before the summer, this year, they were pulling it 10 percent lower than not. but this is one of the biggest comebacks in lazarus. and there's no wonder that the mon, the chancellor,

all app schultz is sounding pretty pleased with himself. if i may, fairly, it's, then i'm happy to see so many here today. and of course i'm happy about the election results. london. germans have decided. the social democrats are on their way and that's a big success. this will be a long election, might be sure. but what for certain as well is that many germans that cross next to the tv because they want to change in the government. and because they want the next chancellor of this country to be lasha for the green party will also go down as big width is from ms. election. they put on an extra 5.8 percent from what they posted back in 2017. they were copying things at green party headquarters on sunday night into the early hours of monday morning, along with the free democrats to help pretty much around what they got back in 2017 . they look almost certain to be the king make is when it comes to forming a new government. so those are the when a center, right?

conservative union of the christian democratic union, they're very unfair to policy the christy and social union who certainly fall into that biggest loser category. it's the lowest numbers that they posted since the 2 parties of come together back in 72 years ago. really huge question. so exactly what went wrong, there's going to be a big old top see when it comes to what happened within the center. right. but they still have a chance of painting power. this is of course, angular merkle policy or was angular merkle, party the outgoing german chancellor. and no, the party going into the loses category would be the left. they dropped off massively from what they posted back in 2017. in fact they, they fell below the 5 percent the you actually need to get into the bottom, the side book because they won 3 constituencies out. right. what that means is they have to wait on the, by the skin of the teeth. the electoral commission has announced that they will get

39 and see in the next parliament left party leadership. they recognize this hasn't been a good time for the above. has the it's, it's clear that this was the punch in the got and it really hurt. so much and of course we lost massively. anything else would be unrealistic to claim done baggage or so i gave the results we will achieve nationwide is disastrous. there is no need to discuss it at all. so stop. secondly, we should get out of the habit of blaming every one but ourselves. it is important to be self critical and analyze the mistakes we made before, right alternative for germany party or f dead. they lost a little bit of the vote on what they put down in 2017. but what they have done is really established themselves as a part of jeremy political landscape. they're posting just over 10 percent in this years poll, particularly showing that they have a hotline in and around saxony, in the east of the country, counting the votes as the easy bit bo,

it's forming coalitions that will be the real tricky thing. following this federal election, the possibilities are well, many you can still have a grand coalition that's between the center left and the center right. looks unlikely though. you then could have a traffic light coalition made up of the social democrats, the greens on the free democrats called traffic like coalition because of the party coolest articles of a traffic light. then there are 3 different coalitions made up of the colors of various national flags that can yet jamaica, or germany counting the votes. as i said, the easy bit, we are still a long way out for finding out what the next government of germany will look like. and who will be the chancellor to replace angle america? lily lead from former, you can lead a pull. not all he also served as an emmy pe and was a prominent campaign for briggs that he told us that macros legacy is a frank city. you. thanks in large pond to her decision to let hundreds of

thousands of migrants in the block. she's been there since 2005, and i would argue got the all up european union of 2005 was a far more cohesive block. that is now, she leaves your, which is divided your to whereby that a more and you parties on the rise across the constable. i mean government, if you look at poland and hungary and you have your now with walls are becoming the fashion, your guessing wall directive. in hungry at the boulders, you'll get some walls and serbia waldron, greece is called because what people don't want to see happen again. is the my going crisis to happen then? 2015 and 16. and i would argue because you're going to be far more goal skeptic area. and is the interesting thing about our you america. you know, she's always been your european union biggest champion, but the army of all i need to be have legacy that ends up destroying the autopay and union. so voting over in germany, it's a social democrat celebrating,

but there's a lot of talking. so today before the next government and indeed the next chancellor is confirmed, we'll make sure you don't miss any of the big developments. ah ah. now in the wake of germany's burden to star election, youtube is updated its policies regarding prohibitive content and materials that call into question. the outcome of sunday's vote are now banned under the heading elections, misinformation policies. it says that users should not post content that advance false claims, specifically, claims that widespread fraud errors glitches change the outcome of any presidential elections in the u. s. and the 2021 german federal election and other countries though do not get a mention. the chief says that misinformation of this can can cause real world harm

and interfere with democratic processes. among other things that now also bands, content classes, incitement to meddle with elections, and hacked materials that's bringing spike co. now he was the u. s. libertarian parties, candidate for vice president in the 2020 election jovial and spike. the 1st thing that's showing we have comments online questioning the integrity of election results. you either accept them, you don't, i would have thought, but it seems that you choose meeting them in some countries and not, and others, which immediately just seems unfair. what do you make of it? what neil, thanks for having me on it. my biggest concern here right now, the 2 types of elections that they have explicitly lifted out are any past us presidential election and the 2021 german federal election. but they also said that the, this is not in a complete list, and they also said that they would be doing this for any elections moving forward

once they've been officially certified, whatever that means. so basically what that means is once an election has happened and has been certified by that government, anyone who puts out any content questioning the integrity of it is going to have their content band. and as we know, youtube is owned by google, so we can only assume that all of google, which is basically the largest media company on earth, is saying that any kind of content that's going to potentially whistle blow on future elections once they've been certified by the government are not going to be allowed. what i'm interested to see is how uniformly it's going to be applied. are they going to apply this just as equally in china or russia or a country like that, as opposed to if it happens in the us or in germany? is this going to be arbitrarily enforced, or is this basically become a band on election whistle blowing around the country around the planet? yeah, i mean, the 1st thing again of the back of what you're saying that springs to mind is freedom of speech. what, you know, what if people are individuals of witnessed something they felt within 2 boards and they want to that? shouldn't they get the opportunity to do that?

what one would think, i mean, the thing is as a private platform, they are allowed to decide what, what they allow. now, with that said, we've seen over and over again where they're being poked and prodded by government entities to take certain actions. we certainly seen that in the us where the, by the ministration came straight out and said, we're not going to, we're going to pressure facebook and other social media companies to ban missed information content against locked down or again, back date that we don't like. the fact that they explicitly lifted the us election and the german election makes me wonder how much of this is this company deciding that their policy and how much of it is actually being poking and prodding and coercion from specific government to do that. but yeah, i mean, in theory, any way, if i had a platform that were like this, i would want for people to be able to share their results. like you said, even if they don't have proof that there was widespread tampering, they may be able to say or share something that happened in their precinct or where

they are voting with happening. and why would you to wanted stop that? why would they want to block that? it does seem a bit strange. does that mean? maybe people can understand the us elections being put on the list. fair enough for us originated to come today. the germany election seems a bit arbitrary when the other elections, for example, as it, as in russia, previous to the germany, lex. and so you don't get a mention. yeah, it is very interesting to the fact that they pick those 2 countries. and like you said, google the youtube or of us based country. although at this point, i'm not sure you can call google a single country's company. it's kind of a world wide company. but all that to say, why these 2 countries, why these 2 elections and if there is an election in the country of georgia or, or in your, in russia or in china or in, let's see anything with the taliban has an election. and after those results are declared, you have ascii and coming out after the taliban has officially cleared those, declared those election results and certified those results. if you have people

coming out saying, no, the taliban, you know what's stopping anyone from voting against them or they were killing anyone who tried to stop them. are they going to block? that'd being, you know, election misinformation spike. appreciate your time. good. speak to spike kelly. my guess the u. s. libertarian. candidate for v pay in 2020 i just mentioned that russia had its own election recently, the ruling united russia party when the majority cease the vote. and some of the control the c surrounding it were among the topics that came up in a wide ranging interview with rushes, ex president to meet him in the video. here is a preview of that full interview which has on tuesday. what in the do you me a little during the 3 day vote, central election commission servers were under constant attack. according to the ministry of digital development rant half what came from the united states. that's reason enough for a fight. right?

everyone. the 2nd time you go back, including the united states, you live on my own corporate room, the money they made the money. and now that's how they decide things. they like some of the hook, give others the chocolate, but they belong to the former us president. everywhere he had a 5. 09000000 following by, by why, why we don't like him. you know, when i checked with the recommendations on the follow? well, of course, the 1st comes up isn't evolving and serving a criminal sentence. isn't this interference in the affairs of a foreign country system? it's blatant interference. media organization say that the deeply concerned about claims, the c. i was plotting the kid not perhaps even kill julian assault. those allegations of appeared in a new yahoo news report, the revelations and nothing new. in fact, they had here and i'll tell you last year the article, english testimony from key witnesses on the ca heads fury and we can circle vote 7

disclosures on the us intelligence agencies, activities. pompeo and other top agency leaders were completely detached from reality because they were so embarrassed about folks. 7 said, a former trump national security official. they were seeing blood while it goes all the way back to 2017. when assange was 5 years into his stay at the dorian embassy in london, and that was also when wiki leaks began. publishing its volt 7 documents, a series of document leaks, exposing the methods and tools that they use in terms of computer hacking. now, the agency considers this its largest data loss in ca, history, and according to the sources that yahoo news spoke with. they claimed that the then head of the cia might, palm pale, was basically out for revenge. i mean, it talks about how the cia and british should tell intelligence believes that russian agents had come come up with a plan to rescue julian songs and bring him to moscow. and it also talks about how

these western intelligence agencies were ready for shoot outs in the street to prevent this from happening. there were also plans to spy on kidnap and even kill julian songs without any sort of trial that were be these plans were being fleshed out and talked about in the ca, apparently. and also the had like i said, mike, palm pale. he apparently was willing to justify this by calling wiki leaks a hostile for an intelligent service wiki lakes, walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. now if you accept that narrative than assassinating julian assange could be justified, as of course, offensive counter intelligence operation as opposed to just killing a civilian without any sort of trial. of course, that's what it seems like to see i was trying to do, but we actually ask them for comment and they have yet to, to respond. we know the, the stories getting traction. know what's been some of the reaction. the whole idea itself is pretty outrageous. and the biggest kind of reaction has come,

particularly from journalists and whistleblowers, who are, i think a lot of them are thinking, you know, could i be next on the sea ice kill list? if i make some sort of report that the agency doesn't like very much, i mean we heard from ca, whistleblower edward snowden. he said that the charges need to be dropped against the psalms because he wasn't given any sort of judicial process in the c. i was already having plans to kill him. one of the other journalists that was actually mentioned in the yahoo news article said that the cia and now biden are looking like the ones responsible for, for offences against press freedom. and we also heard an official reaction, actually from the freedom of the press foundations. the ca is a disgrace. the fact that it contemplated engaged in so many illegal acts against which lakes is now tried scandal, but should be investigated by congress and the justice department. these new revelations which involve a shocking disregard of the law a truly beyond the pale. but we should reiterate,

this is not the 1st time we've heard or been speaking about. indeed these allegations. yeah, actually investigative journalist at the grades on macs blumenthal, he had already published an investigation earlier that revealed and the parents ca, spying operation against julie massage when he was at the ecuadorian embassy and plans to assassinate him or kidnap him. so let's take a listen to actually the interview that we did with him in which morales who does not speak english very well, is giving instructions to his employees at the ecuadorian embassy in perfect english on how to set up a separate a secret separate video server to circumvent the ecuadorian security services and feed video back to the united states to the american quiet. this email was sent from an ip address trace directly to the venetian hotel of donald trump's

top donor sheldon adelson. and brian nagle, who has adults in global director of global security and this is significant because brian nagle has a decades long career. busy at the u. s. secret service morales is employees who are involved in the operation just not just spy on julian savage, but revealed that they had even been told to consider an operation to assassinate julian astonished the top dissident in the west with poison. with more and more information being published and being, you know, and people knowing about this about possible ca, abuses when it comes to their, their dealings with drilling assange. i mean, it's definitely going to take away credibility from the, from washington's attempt at appealing for his extradition. to the united states, you came earlier, i spoke with taylor, who duncan independent journalist, and fidel navarez, see former counsel of ecuador and embassy in london to see if they're shocked by

the article. i'm not surprised by it. this just provides further evidence and proof that the us government is completely deprived and acts very inappropriately with this investigation into which leaks enjoy and assad. we see in the report again and just how the c i can really get away with some very new various illegal and absolutely immoral activity. journalists in the west mainstream journalists are picking up on this. and they're seeing that charging and award winning journal left with espionage is wrong. and it is very much a threat to our 1st amendment, which the u. s. claims to hold. so dear julia, not only expose the war crimes and the criminals, but julia and it's also challenge the media machinery behind all those wars. so she expose and challenge the mass media who were either complicit who were not doing what generally should do which is challenge the power unexposed

the wrong doing so they have managed to destroy she's character to the same she him to the extent dont people don't see as popular caused the standing up for, for, for something somebody like julian. so the cumbersome feel shows each crisis deepens. long tell by the federal stations, because government, most public atomic buying stories and after the break ah, ah

ah, me rather shape those in me dares thing. we dare to ask me.

oh, because the petro puns her, um dry and the u. k. and a supply chain crisis deep and the government's going on, the defensive downing street says, put scenes of tale banks and empty pumps of petrol stations. hold on to panic, buying critics so play bars. johnson should take responsibility as it is mismanagement. they allege lead to fuel running out, he said, alley has the story. that's probably a variety of reasons as to why we've been seeing the scenes over the past few days . this we can just go on in the united kingdom of dr as motorists panic, buying as much fuel as they can in some instances, as report so much that there were shortages of delivery drivers, fuel truck drivers across the country. many reasons being put forward for that and it led to scenes of people going out panic, buying. we saw the kind of scene last year at the time that makes start when people

were fighting in the supermarket aisles of the food and toilet paper. and this time, we've seen scenes of violence saw some for caught people falling out and pushing in front of each other and driving into each other. in some instances, we've also heard reports of security and emergency services themselves not being able to access fuel. as for those who have been caught up cooing for hours in some instances, to try to get that fuel. they say that these are not the things they expect to see in a developed country. you know, sometimes cross country, we claim to be and we have to be waiting on the way to get just a bit. petro, it's really upset saying that we've come to this to be on this. i'm quite low right now is also, i don't know what the situation may be an upcoming days from now. the, the any don't know message. the government has not done anything. the government isn't making this better. to be honest with anything that you think of. i'll send you back i many queuing because everybody else is getting on a, you know,

i need to be, petro runs out. i'm going to get to know it's for the government's response to the crisis. what we've been hearing from crunch shops, the transport secretary, and he's not been shy and taking a met. both the public for panic, buying is what he says is one of the reasons for this thing. there isn't a shortage of fuel, but also the groups which represent the fuel industry saying that they to contributed to this crisis by essentially staring the public in public by there's plenty of fuel, there's no shortage of the fuel within the country. the most important thing is actually that people carry on as they normally would until that cause when they normally would, then you wouldn't have cues and you wouldn't have shorts just at the pump either. so it's not like we don't have a fuel than the current country. we do need to just ensure that people are filling up when they need that the law rather than thinking that it goes a lot. now just in case i need it next week, or the week after the amongst the pressures being placed on government

a cause for immigration reforms to be done. there are reports that the government will be making visas easier to access for those truck drive as a temporary 3 month visa, which will take them up to christmas to ensure there are no food shortages leading up to the festive period. but for the next few weeks are those who be facing the same type of ordeal that even yours truly did having to queue up for hours just to feel that cause the british prison has been hits with abuse allegations after a teenage inmate that gave birth alone in the cell and then lost the child. i think insult to injury later emerged only the gods. not even the mother receive bereavement counseling afterwards. i

ah miss a give the on her cell overnight without medical assistance. no one responsible for miss a care had a full history of her pregnancy maternity services ad bronze field for outdated and inadequate. the response to miss a request for a nurse was completely inadequate. there was no pediatric or neonatal emergency equipment in the prison. ah 18 year old. she was in bronze field and middlesex here its largest within the prison on remand for a property charge. she days before giving birth,

she told gods she would kill herself if a baby was taken from her prison officials of admitted wrong doing and said that an internal investigation is ongoing women's rights advocate, re service, and things. the head of the prison should be held accountable. this is more of the horrors that we continue to see with human rights violations, specifically for incarcerated people, but also for women. this is a common experience throughout the private prison that we've got to really get more serious about human rights laws and realizing that we owe each other a duty to treat one another humanely. and even if you have been found to have been, you know, can be convicted of a crime, there's still a duty to treat you with humanity. and that's not, that's clearly not been the case. and if there's such a large gap in,

in what needs to happen versus what's actually happening as you have to do a complete overhaul. but more importantly, we have to call for accountability for the head of that prison. there are certain protections that need to be put in place and they simply were not here. that's unacceptable. there's, there's no, there's no understanding or no, no, no reasonable explanation for how something like this could happen on anyone's watch. together brings up today. don't forget, we have more new stories covered on a website checking account at r t dot com. ah, no. when i would say wrong, why don't, i just don't rule out the thing because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many

find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. join me every 1st a. i'm alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in this new proposal for you once you got it, you can get the new version of the country for spring up, which i love what they mean. 3 of them well was the wisdom when i.
