join me every thursday on the alex solomon 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 the headlines with it's our live on our t report of a c i a plot to kidnap and kill julian, a sondra. so it's global outrage. the story has now been corroborated a year after the allegations were 1st ed by an investigative journalist think booting here at new york considers, calling up the national guard to fill in for thousands of sauf, could be bought from working or failing to meet a covey dot explanation deadline, but some doctors however, think it's all putting patients at risk is either going to suffer some little slower. i think they said offer testing is an option with

michael to, to vacate whoa role. as a defacto leader of the youth speculation swirls over whether the french president could fill shoes on the program. we compare the poker them. i just often talk on tuesday morning here at moscow. this is the international, a very busy program for you today. welcome to our top stories, journalists and whistleblowers say they are deeply alarmed over revelations that the ca previously planned to kidnap and murder wiki leaks, found that julian assigned those allegations come from a yahoo news report. citing testimonies from key witnesses. let's learn a little bit more now with our correspondent donald quarter. spy on him kidnapped him, kill him even. that's what the ca, under its former director,

mike. pompey was accused of plotting for wiki leaks, founder julian, a sons, and recently published report pompeo and other top agency leaders were completely detached from reality because they were so embarrassed about vote 7 said a former trump national security official. they was seeing blood vault 7 series of document leaks, put, wiki leaks at the top of the most hated list in 2017 as it exposed the tools and methods used by the agency in hacking operations. the ca, itself described the leak as a colossal loss and plans to assassinate assange were apparently thrashed out among the top brass and presumably to get away with calling it all an offensive counter intelligence operation. peo branded wiki leaks a hostile intelligence agency wiki lakes, walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. r t s. the ca for comment on the yahoo news reports claims which have certainly upset many journalists and whistleblowers. already. the

cia is a disgrace, the fact that it's contemplated engaged in so many illegal acts against wicker lakes is an outright 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. if you're a journalist, american, or otherwise, you need to understand turning a blind eye to this story, moves the entire world toward a paradigm where the criminalization of journalism is routine. the u. s. government is slowly suffocating silencing and killing someone solely for the crime reporting documents that every major media outlet in the world determined where newsworthy, and few in the u. s. corporate press care because he's never been in that clique while these revelations have now grabbed the attention of many of the key ones are in fact not new. they feature and a 2020 investigation by the editor and chief of the greys own max blumenthal. he suggests that the cia somehow impersonated former ecuadorian president abel morales

to advance its agenda back then he came on r t to tell us about the ca miss deeds. i obtained an e mail 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 client, this e mail was sent from an ip address trace directly to the venetian hotel of donald trump's top donor sheldon adelson, and brian nagle, who is adults and 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 does 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 the c, i accused of plotting to kidnap and perhaps even kill julian assange. the u. k. must surely be now asking itself whether can really take washington's extradition request seriously. john kerry, who a for my c i a analyst, and whistleblower thinks the report has a dining implications for press freedom. the world to understand that the united states is trying to criminalize journalism. they refuse to accept the fact that julian assigned is a journalist that the american people only information and they have the right to know what it is. and that the government behind their backs, the backs of the american people, is trying to assassinate someone who has not been convicted of a crime,

at least in washington. this is going to be a day long story. somebody is going to get promoted inside the ca for coming up with this operation. no one will be held accountable, just like no one with ever held accountable for the torture program or the secret prison program. you know, one of the things that we learned in this article was that the british intelligence service, the external intelligence surface m, i was apparently involved, you know, where they were talking about, shoot up the potential pursuit out in front of the ecuadorian empathy. that was the british that were supposed to be doing the shooting when they talk about shooting out the, the tires of a russian plane. that might have been taking julian assigned to russia. that was the british that were supposed to be doing the shooting. so i would certainly hope that the british court finally say enough is enough. there's no way that julian should or could be extradited to the united states and he should be free to go the

state of new york. as considering whether to deploy the national guard to medical facilities to replace unvaccinated doctors and nurses, i will be signing an executive order that's going to allow me to deploy the national guard. we're medically trained, deploy people who've been retired and may have had a license lapse. bring in people from elsewhere. your medical crisis comes well, it comes from a state wide mandate for all health workers to be an oculus against karone of ours . about 16 percent of medics have not received injections as of last week, and that's according to the governor's office. that means that they are bod, from hospitals and other medical facilities. we heard from local power medical, anthony alcorda, and john don brown ski. the chief executive of the washington payton center and they share their views on this decision. national guards are usually brought out for crises, hurricanes, tornadoes, things like that. this the 1st time i've ever known of it to be for

a health care reason. hospitals do require vaccines for the flu and we had the flu for many, many, many years. and you would get a fax in my there are some individuals at doctors, nurses who opt out of getting the flu shot. and then if so, then they have to, they, meaning those individuals who opt out have to wear mask. we've done this now at least for 25 years that i can remember. i'm not sure why this is different and they don't allow that. those changes. i can definitely see that, you know, health care is either going to suffer or become a little slower. and in this state in new york state as well, it would be a cascading effect. if you're taking from one area to staff, another area that leaves the other areas that may need that extra stepping short people that may get terminated. we're health care workers. it's. it's a tough thing because this is such a specialized skill. you know, when you're a nurse, or a paramedic or a doctor, you put so many years of training into it and be seen if they can never work again

. i think they should offer testing as an option. meanwhile, president biden is encouraging americans to get vaccinated and he's received a booster shots to lead by example. he also expressed his disappointment at the number of people who are not getting that covered show up about 20 percent, haven't gotten any shots and that that distinct minority is causing an awful lot of us a lot of damage for the rest of the country. that's why i'm moving forward with the vaccination requirements, wherever i can, i guess to give us that views on whether cobra shots should be mandatory to me, the right thing is getting the vaccine. but if you don't, the other right thing is to make sure you test the weekly and you don't get anybody else sick. i just don't want to see any more people die. you know, from this disease though, i'm over it, you know,

we in the emergency medical service community empties of our medics. we saw so many people suffer this year. and if you look at what's happening in the country at the moment, this does seem to be a pandemic of the unbox needed. many of the unvaccinated tend to be minorities. why? because they always had a mistress of the government. the government, back in the forty's had a to ski experiment and where blacks were, we'd been year old diseases and were not treated. so there's always been some skepticism. and certainly religious exemptions are always that people do that all the time in medicine, jehovah, witnesses for blood transfusion or other types of treatments. we've always respected an individual's rights to then opt out of certain medical care. hello, germany is olaf schoultz and his rivals and vine to take up the mantel of chancellor after a close fort election and with angle american heading for the exit. many a questioning who will now be seen as a defacto leader of europe. ortiz, sharla, do. whisky finds out whether that person could indeed be the french president. i

manual my own like the style himself, a man with a vision for europe. p pushed hard for an you owe me a call for rita integration reform and for sending over the single currency though we have good back to based on that when at least all the while germany under the still guy didn't. so merkel has smiled and nodded. but whenever push came to shove, she made clear who was called, but one shouldn't benefit from european solidarity. while playing against other member states, solidarity among partners should never lead to adapt union. it should instead be about helping others to help themselves, to have a history. so before macaroni even occupies the a health way as the french economy minister and during talk to help greece avoid crippling or 30 measures. merkel put her foot down. according to emanuel

merkel ordered how to keep macro greek negotiations. brickle spell was every bit as powerful as i had imagined with the merkel era slowly but surely winding down. we all know that she's leaving fixture to fill. my point is clean, the king said to them, come, he series. can you be a former investment banker, russell, more than a few feathers, not just in europe, but also across the globe. what we are currently experiencing is the brain death of nate. so nato only works if the guarantor of last resort functions such frances president, her french president, has found rather drastic words to express his views. i don't think such a sweeping judgement is appropriate. obviously we'll have to take all destiny in our own hands. but the transatlantic partnership for us is absolutely indispensable in relations with other countries of holsten kids to be rude. we do have

a very special relationship. in fact i'll get that little piece of piece we have to make them purple. he is perfect. thank you. and your delicious wife for your one will come to perfect organisation of this trip. thanks to you. thank you very much. no problem. thank you very much. thank you. thank isn't there a strong atlantic movement in trends. the so go liberals that are more on the greens or the start the inter well, who is being very i pull american and i think he still does so much in between the black hole that i didn't say i do what to do, how to do it 1st thing in the neck, it was a lead to a few of them and she was not. i mean she was in the sense because generally so powerful. but maybe a success only be the leader or fewer. but i don't know. i mean, because of and he's not going to to, she's at home. however,

i intention have often surface showing twice all quite as strong as i would like to make out. let you to visit the man to choose the united states has shown towards the submarine. deal clearly illustrates the point we've been making for months. namely, the political dialogue with a nato is non existent, even. they have at home. he's had his work that was being suspected by the international press. my sons and self irritating, the french who have not been afraid to lash out the getting the he just didn't come across the strong to me and like he's got a lot of issues going on. i mean its own country right now. amec with

a lot of the union got high unemployment rate with very large minority population. there's a lot of areas that internally which could potentially put additional pressure in that area from a greater european side. i mean it be, does it successful in european area that me it actually may give him a better view within internally with the country as well. but he's got some, you've got several internal issues that he needs to deal with as well. i think of europe exit to say to my home, i think the time has come by his office shine. however, with the fight of his life to retain the president, the hearing problems, not too far away. he could struggle to keep the dual attention of both the home and european audiences. and right now it is often clear where the political column

match his brunview ambition. charlotte, people sky off fee harris on sundays election in germany, drew close interest from us tech giants and the video platform. youtube has now banned any materials. questioning the outcome of that vote. don't post elections related content on youtube if it fits any of the descriptions noted below . content that advance is false, claims that widespread fraud errors or glitches change the outcome of select past national elections after final election results are officially certified. this currently applies to any past us presidential election. the 2021 german federal election or you tube. it says election. misinformation can cause real world harm and interfere with democratic processes. one of its key targets is hacked materials . we heard from spike cohen, who was the us libertarian party candidate for vice president in the 2020 election

. he questioned how evenly this policy is likely to be enforce. it infringes on the idea of the freedom. the concept of freedom of speech is that a government cannot stop you from speaking. now as a private platform, they are allowed to decide what, what they allow. now, with that said, the fact that they explicitly lifted the u. s. 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. what i'm interested to see is how uniformly, is this 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 ban on election whistle blowing around the country around the planet? all right, cool. but come here on the program on our international, on this tuesday, a renowned medical journal raised his eyebrows off to referring to women on his front page as quote bodies with the vagina explore reaction to that to the brain.

ah, i the media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer type relation for community you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? which direction? what is truth? what is in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the

shallows. ah. join me every 1st day on the alec simon show, and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. me. ah, it is good to have you with us today. a school district in the us state of minnesota has angered parents with this new sex education program, which includes gay and transgender role play for children. curriculum sabotaged deeply, help cultural family and face beliefs, pet schools against parents, and a stand off regarding who is the values should be instilled. this curriculum goes far beyond teaching respect and tolerance. and it's intentionally confusing

children about their gender and sexual orientation. teaching k 12 students, it's ok to be sexually active at a very young age is obviously dangerous. 3 hours describes pornography use as normal activity for teens when in fact, pornography is damaging and addictive to undeveloped burnings. the minnesota school program is called a 3 oz, which stands for rights, respect, and responsibility. in one series of lessons, it asks students to pretend they are gay, lesbian, or transgender partners in a relationship. it also teaches kids about anal sex. now the school authorities have defended the program saying it's about keeping kids informed and keeping them safe. topics main clued the automatically correct names for body parts. a person's right to keep their body safe by expressing their level of comfort with touch. and identifying is safe adult to confide in if needed. we heard from our won't have i

for my trans women and founder of sex change regret dot com. a walter thinks the 3 ours sex ed program should be raising serious alarm bells. which really harmful is that we are abusing sexually abusing our children. this is sexual abuse and the teachers are participating in sexual abuse just not about the l g b t. this has nothing to do with the l g b team. this has to do with the teachers engaging in pedophilia. the teachers maybe becoming sexually aroused by engaging the children and these behaviors. and we need to actually have an in federal investigation into what the children are learning from these teachers. and this kind of curriculum should not be in the schools and any teacher who does this should be dismissed from school and should not be

a school teacher. a british medical journal is under fire for its use of supposedly inclusive language. the lancet refers to women on its front page as bodies with vaginas and critics have slam, but use of language as dehumanizing naming. women is bodies with joy and this is in you low all in the misguided pursuit of woke points. you can be inclusive without being insults and abusive. are we extremist for objecting to women and girls being to humanized? are we really just bodies with vaginas to medical professionals? just wrote the lun set to tell them to take me off the list of statistical reviewers and cancel my subscription and never contact me about anything ever again . absolutely inexcusable language to refer to women and girls. but if we have vaginas are, dear god, you can write that and then talk about menstrual shame in the same sentence. i'm intrigued. would you call the sex formerly known as men? always?

it's only women that you are raising. we asked alonza to comment on the negative reaction to his face, and they were apologetic saying it was not their intention to offend anybody, but they also stress that transgender health is a neglected issue. we have conveyed the impression that we have dehumanized and marginalized women. those you read, the lancet regularly, will understand that this would never have been our intention. i apologize to our readers who are offended by the cover quotes and the use of those same words in the review. at the same time, i want to emphasize that trends gender health is an important dimension of modern health care. but one that remains neglected. of finding alternative words for women is proving surprisingly difficult for some of the english speaking world. earlier this year, several u. k. hospitals told stopped to use terms such as berthing paren,

signed to human milk rather than refer to mothers or breastmilk while in the us house speaker that i should say in washington, and nancy pelosi earlier this year said words such as mother father, daughter and brother should be avoided in congress, replaced with gender neutral alternatives? well, we discussed the issue with podcast or writer. lauren chen. i here we can see being swayed by audi ideology rather than biology. the, even the notion that gender identification is something that is brought up when referred to the word woman versus biological sex. that actually is a political statement. so even though they may have been trying to be inclusive by referring to women as bodies with vaginas, i think what they're selling to many people sadly is that even though they claim to be a bastion of science and medicine and objectivity, they are being swayed by the increasing woke ideology, we see perpetrating penetrating almost every single industry. it seems like this small vocal minority who insists on this extreme exc,

inclusivity. they are essentially trying to bully entire professions and we see now that includes the medical profession, even though this is supposed to be about gender identity in general. i do find it interesting. how often times the, the words are the groups that are being a race are actually women for every attempt we see to erase the word man or man had her father. she would, there are 5 or 10 examples of trying to erase the word mother, woman or the like, or coming up next year when alrighty. international and exclusive interview with dmitri marietta rushes for my president prime minister, the current leader of the united russia party. that just came in victoria with the duma elections. madrid have covers a broad range of topics and does not hold back on his opinions. the full conversation is next. donati internation, the robin driven by dreams shaped back

in me. i think we dare to ask. i imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. what other chapters called gun violence school shootings, homelessness 1st, it was my job, then it was my name was my siblings. i have nothing. i have nothing and it's not like i don't try. i look for resources, i look for jobs, i look for everything i can make this past. and all i end up doing is passing the road to the american dream,

paved with dead refugees at this very idealized image of the older america, native americans look past the death that happen every single day. this is a modern history of the usa, my america on r t o. when i went to the wrong, why don't i just don't the rules? yes to shape out the same because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground in the moon.

welcome to rti for an exclusive interview. today we're joined by me treatment vet, if the chairman of united russia and deputy chairman of russia, security council. mr. med video. thank you very much for sitting down with our tea . hello. my 1st question is about the party you li, united russia has retained the majority of the russian parliament since 2003. however, unlike the 2016 election with the 54 percent of the vote, this time popular support was just 50 percent. could you comment on the outcome and why the ruling party losing ground? the party came a good thing or the good? what should i say? it's a big win for the party. we must not grow complacently and rest on our laurels just because the ruling party enjoys great popularity among russian voters. still, it is a very impressive outcome. most political parties in the majority of countries around the world would be quite happy with such results. we certainly very much are. we've

discussed this with my colleagues with the presidents who helped our party during the campaign as head of state. he was really key to our success. so the results are fine, but it doesn't mean that we can rest on our laurels. that russians are happy about everything. that is not the case. the elections are always about trust that you will be able to deliver going forwards. it is an acid test on where we have been doing well and not so well. it reveals the concerns of our people that should be addressed in our agenda, and those we've largely resolved. what are united russia goals for the next term that you know, what are its priorities? how have they changed if at all the election? there are 2 main objectives. one like for any party is to implement our agenda. i'll go into detail a little bit later since we're the party that supports the incumbent president. our 2nd objective is to pursue his policies to the best of our ability. i national

development goals, national projects and the priorities in his address to the federal assembly. so it is a twin mandate of putting the president's policies into action is pretty straightforward . but executing a political agenda is a more nuanced affair. this year it was put together in an unusual way. why did recall at the people's platform, it pulls the proposals from about 2000000 people, not just party members. yes, we have about 2000000 members, but it was shaped by ordinary russian people. some of them probably don't, even like united russia would least didn't vote for it was still they had a hand in drafting this agenda and the most essential and relevant ideas were incorporated in our campaign agenda. the 1st part focuses on living standards and welfare. it covers a wide range of critical areas such as health care, education, social benefits for families, people with disabilities, as well as the number of the most pressing issues among them, housing, utilities,

and so on. it's not some high level blueprints. these are not just promises to facilitate develop and aid. it's very granular. we need to do this, this and this. we shall bring household income up to this level. we shall by this number of buses, the school children, and ambulances, and it's all very specific, which is why i believe this agenda is a particularly good one. it has other sections to on economic growth on government relations and lawmaking united. russia once again hold a constitutional majority in the state duma. it has all been laid out in detail. equally important is to make sure it's put in practice during both the previous and the current campaign. i kept telling my fellow party members that our agenda is not just a bunch of slogans like it often happens in many countries. you win and forget about the agenda. over the previous term, we held regular meetings, so called platform commissions. every 3 to 4 months. i gather my fellow party

members and ask them about the progress on governance lawmaking, the social policies or demographics. false modesty aside, i can tell you without reservation that our 2016 agenda has to a large extent been implemented. and that's why russians voted for united russia, despite a slight dip and popularity. it's clear that it's a sign of sorts, but let's be realistic. out of $225.00 single seat constituency. m. p. 's, 198 are united russia members. and it's a remarkably good results as for the party on the whoa, the result is slightly worse, but it's not surprising. it's been a challenging for you years. unfortunately, with the pandemic and incomes falling, as well as other issues. still our party has never shirked responsibility. we've supported many different decisions and not all of them people have been equally happy about because i believe that this is the main goal of the ruling party. it's

not about slogans and promises and hand shaking. it's about actually making important decisions for the benefit of our people, even if they are sometimes i'm popular. i think we've managed to find the balance there. previously the parties chairman used to be at the top of the national election lead letter and couldn't, has held that position you have as well. but this year, 5 other people had the less well known experience stand respected in their fields. but none of them have any experience in law making denise for them, for example, as an entirely new name and russian politics. why were they chosen? what will the future in the party be? i already addressed this question at the party convention when we came up with the names of these 5 people. it may sound obvious, but a political party is not about one person or 2 people, but it's not just vladimir putin or dimitri midvale. if why anyone else for that matter, poverty is a big team to be reckoned, whether it's a social organism, if you like. and one of the main goal of

a party needs to pursue is to be constantly on the look out for new names, new people, for politics, new people, for political projects, and new heavyweights. people who are well known and respected either in politics or in their professional area. i think we did what was right for the party. the 5 leaders we have chosen are well known, even popular individuals. they are very well known in the community. also those who come to cast their ballots and care about the evolution of russia political system would like to see new faces by new faces. i don't necessarily mean and timing you never seen before. well, there can be young and inexperienced, of course, it could be people who have never engaged in political battles. that's who we have on the ticket. with the exception of said a show you who is closely connected with the party. in fact, it was he who helped create the party 20 years ago. so he is a well known figure among the party members and supporters. as for the future

within the party, it's clear that most of them will stay in their professional field, continue working in their fields. one person, my colleague and that server will work in the state duma from now on. however, none of them are going to sever that ties with the party. they will continue to make a difference in one way or another. some will stay with the parties governing bodies . others will supervise party projects. the president earlier suggested that each of the 5 leaders could subsequently take on a project closest to that professional field. i am positive that the future in the party is going to be bright and here is united russia a right wing, ori lack when party. do you think that a ruling party should have one dominant ideology? new those? no, i don't think so. it's my deep conviction. there are some well known theories in political science that prove my point. so does the russian constitution,

modern russia doesn't have a national ideology. the way it did in the past when it was enshrined in the 1977 constitution. article 6. today parties are focused on just one thing, supporting the wellbeing of the people, helping the country grow and all parties of the political spectrum, right wing left most interest, proclaim this as their ultimate goal. in reality, we'll see that the key goal for any party are basically the same. we all want to have a good life. we'll want our country to grow. we'll want to drive away poverty and make our health care strong and efficient. we will want to have the best education for our kids. this is what all parties have on their agenda. the only difference here is in the methods to achieve these goals. and selection of methods is not necessarily dictated by the parties. place on the political spectrum division into right and left wing political ideologies will still be there. but look how blurred these lines are between them and other countries. and today we no longer have

a wide ideological gap between the platforms of various political parties in russia . the way it was back in the early 20th century, the again, it boils down to the methods each party chooses to achieve the results and the country needs. and there are significant differences helping united russia as motto goes. and it's true, by the way, is the party of real action. we do our best to deliver on everything we have put on paper. we want to set an example for others. of course, some things come out well, but sometimes we fail and people would criticize as harshly every time we do. but it's easy to monitor our performance anyway and see where we succeed and where we fail. at the same time, we understand that each party has its own base and it is important every punch to grow. it's as much as possible. this is exactly why we chose to have no party ideology because if a party says ok, we're a party for the proletariat. it will only get the votes of those people who

identify themselves or feel related to the pro terry it's and so on. or a party for large business. it just doesn't work the same way anymore. used to in the early 20th century. still. where does united russia belong? on the political spectrum, i would call it a conservative and central party. what do you think about the current state of competition and russian politics? critic say it is waning. the number of parties with a chance to run has shrunk by over 50 percent from 74 in 2016 to 32 in 2021. out of 47 parties that are no longer active, 43 were dissolved by the supreme court, not by themselves. do you see the problem here? let you know it's neither a problem. no, a particularly good thing. it's just the fact that i would like to remind you about the amendments introduced during my presidency back in 2012. it allowed for more,

but unity for political parties. prior to that, we only had a limited number of parties. and after that, the number grew there were quite a lot of them. this, however, didn't necessarily mean that they all came to stay and some of them simply failed to win or persevere in the competition. games failed to raise the funds or failed to secure a vote to base some failed to comply with the law, and the supreme court issued a routing to spam them. so i don't see this as much of a problem. new parties can emerge as well, but they need to meet the criteria stipulation by the law. and they need to have popular support in the cities than in the regions. and if they want to compete on the nationwide level, they need to have extensive support throughout the country with prosper up up. let me also ask you about online voting and not, not as there has been a mixed response to it. as we know, the communist party didn't accept the results in moscow wants to find an online

vote count was announced. what's your take is everything fine. well, online voting is a fresh trend. i am strongly convinced that sooner or later the entire world will be voting on line. it's inevitable, there's only one su here, verifying the outcome. there is still some work out standing here. the government must provide the right conditions, and people need to trust the outcome of the online voting procedure. it is beyond any doubt that online voting is the future. at the same time, i believe that in the short, russian citizens should have both options. the traditional voting procedure and online voting. do you think, mr. vindictive did a good job as the head of the observer is during this election, he watched online voting and he took some heed online. most welcome, everybody takes some heat online. so there is no surprise that missed of any dictum of is no exception. i think it all worked out pretty well. i mentioned this before

. you need to verify the outcome of credit, but there's also another points. it's also about convenience. the last time the leaders of the political parties and factions meant mr. sure enough sky said that voting has to be a duty rather than rights. that should be a penalty for failing to votes. many countries already have it by the way, and some it is punishable with a fine. in others, it is a criminal offense. i don't think we'll want to criminalize non voting well they some countries do. but i think that use a convenience becomes ever so important in our world today. i was just following up and a couple more questions about the election. this time there was no live video feed from the polling stations available to everyone. party members and authorized individuals had access, but not the general public. and another novelty was that the vote itself lasted 3 days, not one. how did all this to fact the public perception of the election? ideally, i believe a 3 day vote is

a must these days it can no longer be done any other way. as long as we have to deal with the pandemic, a prolonged vote, 3 day vote, for example, is unavoidable. and there's nothing wrong with it. whether it will stay this way later on when we, when the global fight against cove at 19, as i hope we will, i can't say for sure. but in any case, it seems to be a practical and convenient option to take some advanced democracies like the united states where voting takes months and everyone's okay with it. under the circumstances, 3 days are both necessary and adequate. as for the broadcasts, it's in fact very expensive to have all the cameras working 247. and the objective here is not to satisfy someone's curiosity. it's done for the sake of verifying the outcome for the sake of integrity at each and every polling station. and that's why we need the recordings. all 3 days, the cameras were recording the vote from the very beginning to the very end case of any doubts, we can look it up. and if need be,

take it to the court. recordings will be stored for 12 months. the so much happening in paris, max and stacy are taking it all in geo politics. gone for zurich, australia, friends, the u. k. all battling it out in what appears to be a new york lack of universal healthcare makes america the country of every man for himself. we have a retirement crisis in this country and we have a health care crisis for seniors in this country as well. so private business has come up with special mechanism for that. it's called the live settlement market. we are a life settlement provider, means that we buy life insurance policies from primarily seniors throughout the

united states who no longer want or can't afford their life insurance policies. if you're sick and for want to live a few more years, you can sell your life insurance. that way you get more money right away and the company collects your insurance payment off to your dad. there's a group of people out there, i guess, hoping that people die soon. what kind of motivation is i give them when i start crying about them dying? that's usually what it's about. it's just the sheer unfairness of it all. the i

a few questions about the election in the context of international relations. russia's ministry of foreign affairs has summoned john sullivan, the us ambassador to moscow over latched election interference by american tech giants. we all remember how the 2016 us presidential election resulted in the american political establishment, launching the 3 year investigation into russian madly. do you think something similar could be initiated in russia now against u. s. companies, for example? and what would be the impact of such a prob, new loan? i don't really know. i stick to the well known latin formula, quid pro quo, a favor for a favor, quote unquote. since they did us a favor,

why wouldn't we reciprocate? i think we could look into launching such a probes. this is the job for the law enforcement agencies now a central election commissioner in the ministry of foreign affairs. if there is enough evidence to prove their interference, why not? according to the data we have during the 3 day boat central election commission servers were under constant attack. and the ministry of digital developments reports that around half came from the united states. that's reason enough for a fight, right? that was the new woman opened. you mentioned the attack on the central election commission servers. we've also registered cases when google directly interfered in the russian election by placing batteries and video ads and chrome and anew to have created by a legacy and the valid esteem. they contained adverse publicity aimed at united brushes. candidates, is russia planning to introduce any restrictions or punish in any way the american tech giants for interfering in the election in this way? is it possible to put pressure on companies like google,

besides issuing political statements and slapping them with fines? it is possible and necessary the way i see it for everyone sick and tired of big tech, including the united states, even biden's administration, which at some point seemed to have an advantage of a trump's team in the digital space is not considering legislation that would limit these companies big tech plays by its own corporate rules. they made them up, and now that's how they decide things. they let some of the hook, but give others the chop. they blocked the former us president everywhere. he had 851900 1000000 followers. by, by why we don't like him, we didn't like something he said, but these decisions were not based on us law on an applicable ruling of an american court. they were based on the internal corporate rules. they have some serious power. now. you mentioned their activities during our election. it is hopefully

unacceptable and have basically interfered with russians politics. yes, they complied with our top telecomm watchdog eventually and hope to these activities. but when exactly, on the day of the vote before that this whole machine was going full speed promoting videos created by a person who was serving a prison sentence for criminal offense when they say they were showing videos of criminal to advance their political agenda on foreign soil, this is outrageous and we have to react, of course, we could react in various ways. for example, we could apply the law that we already have in place. it allows us to restrict blocks slow down the activities of majors, social media platforms. we can also find them. so this is not just a slap on the wrist that could be a high cost. finding them in russia altogether, under the new legislation taking effect from january the 1st 2020 to all digital platforms, with over 500000 registered uses, will have to open offices in russia. this measure will help us to have

a say on the policies of these companies operating in this country, and they will have to abide by these regulations. and so i can relate it to myself . i have about 4500000 followers on twitter. and when i checked with the recommendations on who to follow, of course, the 1st person who comes up is an evolving who is serving a criminal sentence. isn't this interference in the affairs of a foreign country? it's blatant interference. open and private. i know you mentioned a possible then in western platforms. this is a major statement since there are many active rushing years of youtube, for example. do you think this decision might have some negative consequences? i didn't say that we should, bam, these platforms, i said we should have options to have a say on their operations. even the u. s. government is working on these regulations. these won't be just corporate rules. we see the same trend in europe. they realized that digital media could be used to influence foreign elections and

vote preferences, and they are concerned. we should also have all the options to regulate big tech. it doesn't mean they should be banned. on the contrary, if they follow all the rules, that's great. i'm a social media use it myself. it's convenient and fun. just play by the rules abide by the laws of a country where you operate. and that is exactly why they need to have a registered office in the country. nothing special there. if you are a digital platform that has tens of millions of users in the country, would it be so crazy to have an office then you make money that after all the muscle, we talked about fine. of course, we could mention ad campaigns, etc. but you make money by operating in a foreign states and ignore the laws of that states. people will not tolerate that . so i am sure that this legislation will eventually be passed in every country. some western leaders have called the russian election, illegitimate, and politicians from some neighboring countries refused to recognize the results in crimea. at the same time, as you mentioned,

it's getting harder and harder to question election results in the united states will know what happened to trump supporters, chicago, so they didn't enjoy nice, right? that's for show you. some of them are in jail, and most of them have been blocked. thrown out of all those social media platforms . just before our interview, we got the news about the tubes have dated policy. they will delete all content claiming falsification in the us presidential election and the recent parliamentary vote in germany when you. but does it say anything about our election? much? i know nothing about our election yet. sounds like them. i wouldn't be very original, but these are classic double standard policies. what was your question again, mr. mcguire? a movie that we see that elections in western countries can be challenged at all, while a vote in russia is questioned even before it starts. so what's your response?

no, that's just ignore it. as the saying goes, dogs bark is often worse than it's bite. we couldn't care less about these allegations. life. we are a large, independent country that has sovereignty over its entire territory, but we have our own laws and they can say whatever they want, it won't matter to us. there are some food you tell them. when russia suggested cutting, the number of where c observer is due to co, we'd related restrictions. the o. s. e decided not to send any tax for us to the russian parliamentary election. don't you think this looks like an attempt to undermine the credibility of the russian election from the start? and actually at the vast is exactly what it is. this is obviously an attempt to discredit the russian election beforehand. an audacious shameless brazen attempt. they said they would send 500 experts from the office for democratic institutions and human rights because of cove. it. we said, hey guys, that's too many people. you send 30 observers to the united states. you send 50 on

average, and why do you want to bring 500 this time? let's cut this number to a more standard size. and then you are welcome to come observe. they said no, or caesar or ne hill all or nothing. either caesar or no one else, you know, one, it is then obviously there was some hidden agenda from the very beginning that they decided by default at the election would be legitimate. some people say, perhaps it would have been worth it just to do as the asked and to allow. as many observers as they wanted to avoid says allegations what we're just going well to start with. we couldn't care less about all that noise, to be honest. secondly, the 2008 election when i ran for president, also generated a lot of noise. there were also claims made about a lack of observers going that it change anything?

no, it didn't. you know, it's no good when international organizations i exploited by a group of certain countries to influence the others. what is the mission of the o. s. e? originally, you don't remember it, but back in the 19 seventy's, it started as a conference on security and cooperation in europe, not the organisation the way it's called today. and its purpose was to provide a platform for all members to be able to work out mutually acceptable decisions on all kinds of issues. when an international organization is used to put pressure on us whenever our policy differs, in fact, runs counter to the very essence of such an organization. that's the problem. in some cases, only mutual agreement is the only way forward. let's say, why does the u and charter include a veto power, but many criticize it's saying it needs to be dropped when it has a genuine value for international politics is applied in situations when one un member or a group of members do not support the motion if someone disagrees,

they weren't comply. so what's the use of such motions, even if they are past with, they will only generate more attention, more bickering, more discord. i believe the value of such organizations, including observe emissions, is defined by the principle of mutual agreement. i said in my final question, before the election, there was a lot of speculation about your future since then. you'll be 2nd to be the next speaker of state, duma speaker. it was wow, that's some way to put it. i'll be succumbed. it was. so why did you decide not to run us with what i feel as well, since you are, i'd say it's a personal question, but i'll tell you if you know that the state duma, or is the most important legislative agency we have in our country, it passes laws and working there is extremely interesting and rewarding when i was young and worked as a lawyer in st. petersburg in the late 19 eighties and early nineties. that's when

we already have the state duma established. i was thinking about my future employments. with enough experience i source, i could make it to the state duma and work on new laws. it's actually very interesting, but it all worked out in a different way for me professionally. it so happened that i became head of state. then i was appointed head of government, a post i held longer than anyone else in recent years, at least. and this has brought a drastic change to my career. of course, you see there are not many job options for an ex president way form ahead of states . in some countries, ex presidents are not allowed to hold public office a tool. they give lectures or moderate forums, etc. in russia, we don't have this rule. however, there is a clear understanding of what jobs are acceptable for an ex presidents. at present . i am deputy chairman of russia security council, and the russian president is its chairman. i deal with exciting and important issues of russia's national security and defense capabilities. and i was appointed

largely due to the experience i had accumulated in the capacity of presidents and prime minister as for my experience and the state do. mm hm. i have to say was all very delicate. you have to coordinate a lot of things and juggle interests and political will always trying to find a compromise between various factions. it's a very delicate, artful, painstaking job that you have to do day in and day out. your previous experience and your track record has nothing to do with it. what you do it just because it just happened this way. you were elected to the state duma. and i can tell you how i feel about this now. i believe it's not how ex presidents fates need to be decided. this is not right for obvious reasons. but still, i want to say once again that the job of an m p is very interesting. in many of my colleagues think of their experience in the duma as the combination of their professional career law career. not everyone is a lawyer, but it's still about lawmaking and it's

a really exciting job. thank you very much for sitting down with us by some of them . thank you for having long and all the best to you and all your viewers the me over the the ah

ah, with me is work is a little boy . the little girl who made her clothes. i don't want the cars the way you got me. sure. it's under which way community it's in the nominal move. please. sure. can listeners, can easement leave to join

me every thursday on the alex salmon show when i was speaking to get from the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me the headlines are in r t and reports of i see a plot to kidnap and kill julian assange. global outrage. story has not been corroborated a year off to the allegations were 1st ed by one investigative journalist and also us here at r t. you will consider calling up the national god to fill in for medic. thousands of stop could be bod, from work, or failing to meet a covert vaccination deadline. but some doctors think it'll put patients at risk. of care is either going to suffer, become a little slower. i think they should offer testing as an option.
