the american dream paid with dead refugees. this very idealized image of older america makes americans look past the depths that happen every single day. this is a modem. history of the usa by america on our t. as alice hope headlines are on our tate and a whistleblower who made dabbing allegations against facebook is now self under scrutiny. as it suddenly emerges, a long time dona to the democrats, russia filed a counter request to the global chemical weapons watchdogs. off the u. s. the amount of data on the alleged for loosening of prevalent critic alexi and of albany . the program we hear from russia's envoy to the o. p. c. w. about why it's refusing to cooperate with moscow on the case. status of a feeling that something else that goals are driving them. it is possible that this

whole story is connected with the escalation of sanctions pressure. both of the european parliament votes of ban police use of facial recognition software and public places, calling it an historic moment in the program, august debate. the issue is good news, european criminals and service. and that i think the terrorist threat, if it was utilized and executed for what it was written up more than a 100 percent, it would be a great tool. i think that deb but we just, we always take something and we just we water it down and we abuse. yep. ah, it is friday morning here in moscow and a very warm a welcome to you. i'm rural, re sushi or not you international with a very full program for you today. so facebook whistleblower who leaked a stash of internal files from the social media giant,

was now seeing her motives question. it turns out francis hogan has close ties to the democrats. something she failed to mention while urging congress to take action against a former employer. facebook's products harm children, stroke division, and weaken our democracy. the company's leadership knows how to make facebook and instagram saver a won't make the necessary changes because they have put their astronomical profits for people. congressional action is needed. francis hogan is being represented by a co founder of whistleblower aid, john tie, who served in the obama administration. the other co founder of the organization, which helps whistleblowers pay their lawyers fees as mugs zayed. and he was a legal representative for alexander windman, a white house staff, a who testified in trumps 1st impeachment trial. now, max blumenthal, the editor in chief of the grades are in the points, 2 other alleged links and says, political affiliation is no surprise. in this case,

her testimony dove tales very closely with the democrat censorship agenda. their plan or their desire to heavily sensor social media. frances, how gin was pushing that agenda. if it's true that bryson gillette, the strategic communications firm that is reportedly advising francis how going and which was founded by former obama aid bill burton does enjoy this relationship with her. then we also have to consider her relationship, a possible relationship with abide and white house whose press secretary, gen saki. i actually used to be employed as a senior advisor by bryson juliette. what's clear here is that democratic operatives were not, if these reports are true, are providing p r advice and promotion to francis how again a previously unknown figure who was instantly verified by twitter,

the day of her carefully coordinated and crafted testimony. so she's not as a, an actual whistleblower. she is a political operative advancing a cohesive agenda. what's more, it's immersed that francis hogan is a regular donuts of democrat affiliated organizations, helping party candidates to get elected amongst blumenthal again, things. how going as effectively lovely in lobbying, i should say, for most censorship of thought of social media, she just wants more government intervention. so i think the impact we're going to see going forward is more censorship, more intervention from the intelligence services. and the reorientation of these social media sites to target official u. s. enemies per her recommendation. i think of. 2 you know, it could, it can benefit multiple causes, you could see it benefiting the religious. right. that doesn't like the kind of

semi pornographic content on instagram and the way it degrades women of feminist could get behind it. but behind it all as a much more insidious agenda that how going outlines she has explicitly called for bass, beefing up facebook's counter espionage team to take on official enemies. she named me and mar ethiopia, which is a new target of u. s. empire as well as iran and china. she did not refer to facebook working with any u. s. allies to carry out malicious activities. this is an extension of the narrative we've been hearing since the russia gate saga began. the russian foreign ministry has filed a council request to the global chemical weapons watchdog us off to the united states and 44 other countries. submitted a list of questions to the o. p. c. w, demanding moscow. give details on last year's alleged poisoning of kremlin critic, alexey navarro me. we spoke with moscow's ambassador to the

o. p. c. w. alexander to shogun, who says it rushes viewpoint is simply being ignored. ah, so the subscribers to, there's a feeling that something else, other goals, a driving them judge for yourself today i was not allowed to speak for more than an hour. the pretext were different. for example, the absence of the bulgarian representative. he should have been reading the appeal of 45 countries. i asked the ambassadors of the united states, great britain to britney not want to hear the answer from russia. there was no desire to listen to us. apparently, other goals are being pursued. it is possible that this whole story is connected with the escalation of sanctions prussia in a dilemma. ah, we wanted to do a joint investigation. and what do you think the technical secretariat began to drag out the whole thing? one of the excuses was that there were no similar incidents from the u. k. all the u. s. were putting forward a counter request within the same framework and expect that france sweden and the

technical secretariat will never less on the same questions that we asked earlier. we close this subject with a request from 45 countries and sent a counter request. the ball is on their side. in august, last year, election of albany fell sick on a russian domestic flight. after an emergency landing in siberia, he was taken a hospital and put in a, an induced coma. he was later air lifted to germany. other craft of his family, doctor's in berlin's, hadn't found the had been exposed to the nava chalk nerve agent and ultimately blame the russian government. although russian medics retreat and of alan the claim no poison is. substances were detected at all in his body. after making a recovery, alex, i alexson of only returned to moscow where he was arrested and sentenced to 2 years in jail for breaking his parole conditions in a corruption case. now, the russian representative to the o. p. c. w alexander of shogun, again says western countries themselves also worked with toxins, including the likes of nova chalk and some nato countries. a working with

substances called navi, chuck. i recall the statements of the check president who said in his country there were laboratories where work is carried out with the substance called a tooth rio which can be attributed to navi chuck. the pretty sight admitted that in their potent down laboratory work was carried out with substances from the family of navi choke. the united states is the only country that is not freed itself from chemical weapons. $140.00 peyton's have been developed there for the use of ammunition that contains chemical warfare agents, such as no v choke cookie has joined algeria and lashing out of the french president after emanuel macaroni suggested, there was no algeria nation before french colonial rule. anchor, branded, macros words a populist move ahead of the next years. our presidential election in france on turkey and algeria have joined a growing list of nations that are now at loggerheads with paris. a charlotte to minsky explains france isn't having the easiest of times. it seems to be

battling on multiple fronts internationally and was that it's waging offer some foibles take. i'll g uria francis form a colony it resisting president mack ones attempts to draw the line. and it has an ax to grind that didn't go down well and then to add insult to injury macklin blamed hatred towards france. young algerians on the political military system which had re written history based on lies even questioned. what is l g ria? was there in algeria nation before french colonization? that's the question. algeria post $962.00 is built on a memorial rent that declares france is the whole problem. hugh,

i recall done baset debt, while algeria also plays it as space to the french military. note, colonial presses are naught to welcome the country, essentially set this in the leisure which pushes to process official relations with some of our countries into unfortunate crisis. situations should be result through unconditional mutual respect. that's not the only trouble for a sing. france. in africa. marley has a summons, the french ambassador for explanations it's furious that as fraud seeks to withdraw its troops. he can still think that he can hold the fort by sabre rattling, but if you will need the left hand to button. the situation arising from the end of operation back on puts molly in a fait accompli of bundling ost mid flight to assist next. and it forces us to

explore alternatives and means to better insure a security on the mostly or with other partners. and then there is this all mike t catastrophe. there was no way that we could have taken this decision without it having and causing deep disappointment. and hood to, to france this, this, there's no way we could have avoided that if it wasn't bad enough. that a strayer, a country which ranks a few more than several runs below france and military strength shocked it all for a rendezvous with the u. s. it also invited the briggs buccaneers alone for the jolly, the french what dears and found themselves crying out, which brings us to the u. k.

ah, my corn has often been compared to napoleon, but will he get caught in the nets? of his very own waterloo, francis so incense over the u. k. 's refusal to lex fishermen troll they catch in british waters. it's even threatening to cut the country's electricity supply. actually, it would make more sense to just pass on the increasing costs of energy to the brits, making them pay double. but no mcenroe government is forcing a battle of wills. who will though blink. first, all of this comes as the friendship president is set to face his stay 1st competition to date. as the presidential election hurdles, closer, many at suggesting the only person whom blow a hole in makins hopes is well himself trans has lost its position for some time already, i would say since the end of

a shoulder go as president transit is lost, its position on the global stage of france has decided to follow the steps of the united states and nato. and we've seen the catastrophe of that in afghan. and i rack in extra saga, i was seen that francis totally lost it. macro is just living on the north that france is to have and now is just finding out that this power, that france thought it had. he just doesn't have it. he's not the only one. he's just the one which is a he is the president wishes exposing this to the, to the, to the public that france is no longer the power. it used to think it was this week's record search and natural gas prices for europe have eased somewhat after assurances from the russian president vladimir putin that russia is ready to ramp up supplies. a speaking on wednesday, the president also stressed at moscow will keep the gas flowing through ukraine as bloom should h. yes. prom believes that it would be more profitable for it to pay

a fine to ukraine and increase the gas volume pumping through the new systems. but there's no need for that. there's more pressure in the pipe, less c o 2 emissions into the atmosphere. everything turns out cheaper under $3000000000.00 a year. it is necessary to fully comply with the contractual obligations for the transitive gas through ukraine. although it is more profitable to sell it on the exchange, but there is no need to put anyone in a difficult position including ukraine despite the difficulties in relations. second has no need to undermine gas prompts confidence is an absolute, reliable partner in all respects. maintaining trust on energy tre, between russia and europe, is a key focus of an international gas form right now, taking place in st. petersburg. it is though the last day of the gathering and all corresponding to india. katrinka was that he caught up with a c e. o of the european businesses association. in the end, a pragmatism prevailed. it also showed that the interests of different

stakeholders need to be taken into account. there is no sense in insisting on a, on one perspective and denying the to the fact that others view a project differently you need to sit together. so we'd also showed the need for international cooperation the, the fact that now the stalemate has been overcome. and that we have avoided for a complete blockage of the project is actually very good news. as europe, as a c association of european businesses, we've also always been very clear that we are against the application of sanctions, especially in an extra territorial perspective that we think this is a purely commercial project. and we also think that the european energy security, something that should be decided in europe,

natural gas has an actually tremendous role to play as a transition shoe. we are here talking now about traditional fuel makes that we need to move away from and move to greener our energy sources. but there is also a way how we need to bridge this process between the status, that is the current status and, and other future desires. status while europe struggles to keep the gas flowing, there's also a broader supply problem with a growing shortage of truck drivers across the continent. this story and quite a handful of others as well. still to come on the 2nd block of the program. we were turn in one minute. ah ah, is your media reflection of reality ah,

in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way, or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted you need to descend. ah. so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. but i'll be speaking to guess of the world of politics, sport business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then.

ah ah, i'll give you join us today for this program. of the european parliament has passed a non binding resolution calling for a bad on the police use of facial recognition systems in public places and some m e p, as i hailing it as a major step forward. that's an important step in fighting against mass surveillance. the central and eastern europeans used to live under the eye of the big brother. and we don't want to come back. the resolution calls for a ban on funding for biometric research or deploying programs that could result in indiscriminate mass surveillance. the document also emphasizes the importance of human supervision and any final decision making and urges authorities to be more transparent by using open source software. it's not the 1st time nations are taking

a stand against excessive surveillance in 2019 san francisco became the 1st city in america to enact a complete ban on police, biometric surveillance of boston, and minneapolis. then followed that lead. and we discussed the pros and cons of facial recognition with terrorism and security expert david low and former u. s. police officer, dominic izzo. there's a great saying in law enforcement that when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. and all this does, it may have the great grand scheme idea of you're going after some very serious offences like child sex trafficking. i'm missing persons or terrorist activity, but i don't care who says what it will always be used down your lowest common denominator, which is your citizen and it will be abused like crazy. you're then actively putting a tool in the police's hands to look for crimes proactively. in the wrong way, i think this is just, this is

a door that's going to be open for some very abuse of authority. i don't think it's a good idea and it should have put police in this mindset of that everybody's a criminal is good news. we are being criminals and terrorists, and i think a terrorist threat both in europe and north america since, well, how can enough county so if you did look out, i mean, i'm talking about dealing with serious organized trauma trafficking. i'm not allowed to be dealing with cs trafficking, those talk, defensive terrorism. and i think the point that was made, but you know, it's only allowing, like counter terrorism agencies. policing agencies in the u. k will be like the national con, one. you know, a, we agency those things you wouldn't give it to have a police force. it was like when we were in the european union, michigan information system, which was a database that wasn't available. so the police force in the u. k. it was only to send an offices and the pounds i just happens and all of them in the united states were, were abuse we just to be with. so if it was,

if it was utilized and executed for what it was written up more than a 100 percent of the oversight was proper on it. and i think would be a great tool. i think that, but we just, we always take something that's, that's meant to be some way. and we just, we water it down and we abuse it. it's about giving who has access as a day to store and also destroying data with the question installments on it. just making sure those safeguards in place, and that's why i said, you need judicial scrutiny. what to make it say that it doesn't go all the way down to again, the lowest common denominator, which is the citizen and a detective, or a st. cops shriek up as a bad day and he wants to go through all the backlog of your activity for last 6 months and charge you for a crime that you committed. 34 months ago. the british government is using the army to keep petrol stations supplied made of severe lack of truck drivers. it's a problem that's cause havoc throughout the supply chain and is not limited just to

the u. k. as europe emerges from lockdown said, now needs an estimated 400000 more heavy goods drivers. poland has the biggest shortfall in its relying on his neighbors to keep fuel and goods moving. while germany has at least 50000 drive of vacancies, we heard from a yen pavlov sky, who heads a transport company in berlin. he says, the shortage is really down to pull conditions for the staff feeling. but even the number of drivers from eastern europe is declining, it is already obvious that many transport companies in central and eastern europe, which are very active here in germany, can no longer find drivers in eastern europe because no one wants to do the job. we need to be careful that the spiral does not continue, but finally stops. society should put more value on truck drivers. we all know how good it feels to sit on your sofa at home and order something online with next day delivery, preferably with free shipping. often you can't have it both ways, full and prestige for the job can be felt by the drivers,

and many young people are asking why they should go into his profession with such a low social status. we also spoke to our truck driver, jeffrey summers who thinks that wages should be increased to attract more people to the job. now before earthy in the seller is the most important thing. if it's not good, the know wants to do the job. i know the reason is that training costs have risen, and independent drivers have to pay for it by themselves. i have a colleague who's training is cost him 12000 euros. the military used to train many drivers who could use their skills in a professional life or to that's not the case anymore. as, as well as the training. there are also poll working conditions, especially in the law, whole transportation. my colleagues don't want to be away from home for weeks. these days you can end up spending 14 days away from home, and many young people don't want to spend that long on the road for lately we've seen lots of dr. is coming from outside the you, they get paid between 40600 euros and only the daily allowance makes the job attractive enough to take it. now solve this problem. i think this should be more

regulation of the industry. for example, the minimum wage should be based on the driver's country of origin. this law the u . s. death toll from coven 19 has reportedly surpassed $356000.00 since the thought of the year. now that is more than the total for 2020 when trump was president. although his successor joe biden is getting very different treatment from the media . la a he is disowning, any responsibility for it, where it shouldn't be shocking to any of us. he's, he's talking about what a great job they have done now that a 100000 americans are dead and no end in sight. and to lay the president was taking another victory lap. yet again, the graves are still fresh with this present, it ignores them. so what we see is the most inaccurate fos in american history to a life and death crisis by an american we're, it's fascinating how donald trump personally murdered all the people who died of

cove it while he was president. well, joe biden is held responsible for none of those who died of covey during his presidency. a key election pledge from biden was to stamp out cove it when he's taken plenty of drastic steps, mandating mosques on federal property and public transport. and last month, introducing compulsory covert shots for federal officials on health care workers. but the reactions from democrats, of very different the trump administration, improves the vaccine before or after the election. should americans take it and would you take it there? donald trump tells us i said that was taken, i'm not taking this 10 demik would have been challenging for any present. but this idea that somehow this white house has done anything but completely screw this up. well. the u. s. journalist are chadwick, moore has been keeping an eye on u. s. coded media coverage and has spotted some stock contrasts in the latest reaction. so it's interesting that now the united states has more debts according

to john hopkins university, this year and 2021. then last year, according to what then in 2020, and joe by this president. so why is the media no silent? why are they ignoring this? because that's what they do, their partisan hacks, they work to get this guy elected. and there can be no bad news about jo. bye are very rarely bad news. bunch of items. and so this is very difficult to pin demik has been a political tool for a very long time for well over a year. now, you didn't hear anything in all 2020 after the virus came out, except that all this is all jumps fall. and, and then you also had, of course, the vice president molla here. it's yourself and many others and media, the democrat party saying they wouldn't take a vaccine that was developed under trump, that they wouldn't trust it. well, it's the same vaccine that they're now mandating in our schools are mandating it. you're fired from your job. if you don't have it, you can't be an art of civil society. you can't even restaurants can't go to bars, can't go to janet, you know, have this, this vaccine that they didn't trust in 2020 but magically became

a gift from god. in 2021 simply because the occupier of the white house changed. well, that just about wraps up this nice program for this hot. how though, here on our t international, it is fast tuning into a busy friday for your world wide headlines. we are back at the top of the hour. hope you can join us. ah. m a c o the insert. the allows old b problems much was ok to invite everybody's lawyer. that wasn't to do it. that was good, but each of the people who does owns the internet does always that in a

ah oh, the way is live. so reindeer herders leading a traditionally nomadic lifestyle in the tundra is similar to a parallel reality. while the men drive, the women carry the weight of the household work on their shoulders, rather than make sure that was the last sheet. now this will york city club as well

. it's thinking, however, in the vast expanse of russia, there is a spot where a housewife could secure regular employment status. it's in the fall semester. i'm not sure what i'm, what i'm like. and usually with ah oh, 0 $1.00 lady reporting a 4 year old finding a gun and accidentally shooting and to them a gun violence is a uniquely american prop gunfire isn't uncommon around with the local skate. great . 19 year old man, shot gun violence takes the life of

a young african american man. every 5000 is driven out because of what he's been 3 of a young life taken while handling the loaded guy. his brother accidentally shot here . we were playing with a gun with me and is recovering after being shot in there called go, dad ever, shirley. she was virtually on a recognisable miraculous. we survive, but with life changing in your home like to watch, shorter is in his house like chronic park, intertwined with devastating before as well through the individual has to live with us and how it all unfold. it ah ah.
