12:07 pm

12:08 pm
let's go. brandon today finds itself at the very top of the hip hop chance in america. now youtube removed rappa bryson grays truck claiming it contained a medical misinformation. now the song takes aim of biden's bungled afghan withdrawal and his handling of the crowd of iris in the defense youtube that the platform doesn't allow claims about co for the conflict with the mainstream medical guidelines. it's a charge the artist himself denies. there's a 1000000 songs best out right now, and if you're trying to act like a song, i can't say certain things in a saw where you band it. that means you're bending my art that me, you bending my you was going on. if you can band, are your band anything? i don't curse on my music. i make positive music and i give my views and my music. i don't even curse. and i'm the most sense a wrapper in the world. how is that possible? i say what i believe in my song, everything. i say it myself, i did it in real life. and this is what i believe it should be illegal or social
12:09 pm
media company to be able to change their guy wise. every week i've been delete things that came prior to that they actually are playing with are free speech. nobody is messing with me on their mess on the bus. well, the title of bryce and grace hit is off to the now infamous internet catch phrase. it went viral, often. nbc reporter was interviewing nascar race of brandon brown and said he heard the crowd chanting, let's go, brandon. apparently failing to hear what people were actually chanting. oh ah, ah, well the song comes says joe biden's approval writing has noticeably dipped according to a new survey. it hardly sits below 45 percent. that's down 11 points since it's an old duration in january. it means that biden's popularity has declined faster than all of his predecessors since the 2nd world war. and bryson gray again,
12:10 pm
things the president is having a pretty tough go in the oval office at the white house and trying to kill amena people. now a lottery will say, let's go brand new for me, best perfect. somebody doesn't curse black or so my the same for president biting people call trumpet dictatorship. there's nothing more similar to what day to step in what jo buyers currently doing, and what a lot of companies are going to try to segregate vaccinated unvaccinated businesses like jim crow, 2 point oh, meanwhile, the world medical watched all continues to sound the alarm about the ongoing coping pandemic insisting it can only be stopped one way the funding will and when the will chooses to end it. it is in our hands. we have all the tools we need. effective public health tools and effective medical tools. increasingly empty
12:11 pm
shelves are getting shoppers in america nervously eyeing the calendar room at the fast approaching a holiday season. it's been caught by a major disruption to the national supply chain over the past fortnight and dozens of ships. the us ports are still idling in the water, still waiting to be unloaded. now the pandemic has, of course, read, have gone the global supply chain. a shortage of port operators and truck drivers in the u. s. has now led to traffic jams at doc, sun mt shop, show the government claims the ports have been overwhelmed due to a surgeon demand. and that of a booming economy for the public is not entirely convinced. and it has led to yet more gloomy reading for team biden. over half of those quizzes in a new nationwide survey, believe the administration is handling the economy very badly. we've gone from extremely prosperous, too, locked down and economically miserable in the space of a year from 2019 to 2020 the lockdown caused the supply chain to grind to
12:12 pm
a halt because businesses were not ordering products and supplies anymore because they weren't able to remove them and sell them, and they weren't sure when they would be. the government does not expect to perform well in the next couple of elections if the truth about the supply chain. and the current state of the american economy becomes widely known, were told by the administration. this problem will be over by the end of 2022. i'm seeing it in the foreseeable future. this is going to take years, if not decades. and we will have to return to a state of reasonable prosperity, prosperity before the supply chain even fills itself in to return to what we consider normal vaccine donations by western countries of failing to match initial pledges. and so says the people's vaccine alliance, whose latest report concludes that pharmaceutical companies and rich states are
12:13 pm
contributing to job in a quality around the world. we spoke to ox fams, anna marriott, who is, she's also actually the policy lead for the people as vaccine alliance. what we've seen is developing countries receiving an endless types of to be frank, inadequate gestures that support followed by these broken promises. and it should be a cause of international shame. i think the biggest and the data that we've released show is what we've known along developing countries. simply camel should not have to rely on the goodwill of rich countries. all pharmacy companies, they're not delivering what we need or the rights and the recipes of be, seems to be shed, so that we can scale up manufacturing and developing. i'm sustainable. so the document named a dose of reality under lines that nearly 2000000000 cove. it vaccines, shots were initially promised by wealthy nations. however,
12:14 pm
are there only 14 percent of those have actually been delivered to the countries that needed the most. so it translates to one in 50 people in low income nations are now fully vaccinated. and the people's vaccine alliance is crystal clear on a who shoulders the lion's share of the blame for those dia, figures, namely high income states. now the u. k. promised to donate a 100000000 doses to cov, accept a world wide initiative aimed at fair access to covert vaccines, but so far has delivered only 10 percent. canada's 40000000 doses promised her seen only 8 percent of that figure handed over an ox fams. anna merritt once again believes the pharmaceutical giants have regrettably, but obviously monetized the pandemic. patients whenever designs full pandemic for public health emergencies, they should not in any situation get in the way of saving lives. and that is exactly what is happening now. but i think we also really have to remember that
12:15 pm
billions of dollars and your rise and i'm pounds that have been put into the development of these vaccines. it wasn't the investment of pharmaceutical corporations, all of that. shareholders that made these vaccines possible. look, the astrazeneca looked at mcdonough, almost a 100 percent puppet at the finance is his tax pans, money that paid for the rapid development at these vaccines based on decade of research that was also public. the finance. it didn't about peyton's providing incentives. this is about peyton's protecting that monopolies and the grotesque profits of pharmaceutical corporations. they have already made billions out of this pandemic. it's time to share the recipes, the rights to produce them, so that we can get this virus under control. right now, quarter part of the of the hour here in moscow. let's give you an update now on that explosion that ripped through a block of apartments in russia's republic of thought. stun and a blast took place in the city of nowadays no child left her for people injured.
12:16 pm
among them, 2 children who were pulled from the rubble. a number of flats were destroyed. now, according to russia's emergencies, ministry, the explosion was caused by a gas or still to come here on the program on r t a facebook whistle blow at, testifies to u. k. lawmakers, amid a push for increased online security. it's certainly brings up the question over the future of your usa privacy, a more that story in about 60 seconds and oh, when i was sure seemed wrong when i just don't know. i mean, you world yes, to safe out disdain because of the african and engagement equals the trail.
12:17 pm
when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground and financial survival guide. stacy, let's learn about fill out. let's say i'm a true i care and year period time, grief on banks of the fight. wall street broad. thank you for helping ah, enjoy that right. fill out april des slavery. ah ah,
12:18 pm
good happy with us because monday evening program here were naughty. so facebook whistle blow up front is ha, goodness, testifying to you, k m, p, 's, who are working on legislation to crack down on a harmful online content. now it does come off to her appearance in the u. s. senate, but she accused facebook of spreading misinformation. hate and violence. comes back and says only a tiny sliver of con, our platforms hate are only tiny slippers violence, one, they can't detect it very well. so i don't know if i trust those numbers, but to it gets hyper concentrated in, you know, 5 percent population. and you only need 3 percent of the population on the streets to have a revolution. and that's dangerous. the inner workings of facebook have now been further expose as whistleblower. france is how going has been testifying in front of m. p. 's own the social media giants failure to protect the public from this really harmful content. now it's been a pretty long testimony indeed. and has been very explosive to,
12:19 pm
with all sorts of allegations regarding safety incentives, censorship, plus of course, algorithms and their power to really to store people's news feeds on their social media. and also the content flow of course as well. now, all of which she says has a pattern of negligence. now, one of the stand out quotes from the testimony today is that the platform is undoubtedly making hate was. so of course she was speaking to the parliamentary committee here in westminster, who is scrutinizing at the proposals for the online safety bill. it's a landmark piece of legislation that could really set the tone for social media regulation across the world. now, francis, how going to former employee of facebook says now is the time to act. and facebook's encryption, which are essentially ambitions to make the site less transparent, will actually make it easier for bad actors to strike. now that could be on one end of the scale of espionage operations by hostile states. but then also i want to
12:20 pm
more pass no level, it could be hate crime. and those people sharing a legal content. now that is an opinion that really is quite hand in hand with the government, which is looking to ban anonymous profiles. would you consider legislation to remove the right to anonymity social media? i've i wanted to look at everything and there is what taking place already. now clearly the online place we see 14 much cruelty on mine. and i think all of us have responsibility and the q t to work together. and i do think working together is part of the solution here. sadly, at a time when we need to be taking more action facebook up to see an end to end encryption plans that place the good work and progress achieve so far in jeopardy. as was looking through some of the aspects of this bill, especially it's in it's draft proposal form. so essentially all companies need to protect people from a harmful content such as hate crime. there's also though,
12:21 pm
of course, an emphasis on protecting children from inappropriate content and sexual exploitation and abuse. so we're talking about the companies you'd expect, like facebook, twitter, tick, tock, youtube are all of which will need to tackle this content that's lawful, but still are harmful to the public. of course, that's a really tricky area to cover. it basically applies to abuse and misinformation think right now in particular, all of the different dates are and content on coven vaccines, or even the pandemic as a whole. so to try and get through and navigate this blurry line, the bill will also now be potentially bonding the anonymous account in the hope that people will no longer want to be hiding behind the computer screens. no hiding behind a fake account either. however, some key players in the civil liberties. our platforms are basically saying this is a really slippery slope for government surveillance. and of course
12:22 pm
a pass or lack of privacy. this is a terrible position to take encryption benefits users and m whistleblowers world wide. it's essential to privacy and security. so hogan who argued directly against anti monopoly action against facebook is now parlaying her new phone celebrity, to defeat its plans for and to when encryption more and more, it looks she's in this for more government surveillance and censorship. this a logical position supports you key and u. s. government salons turned in demonization of encryption in the interests of massive valence today. yet again, francis hogan is really shining a light. in fact, putting all the flood lights on a real and need to keep people safe. but in testimonies like this one, it really does expose how difficult it is to get that balance right, particularly online at to protect people, but also to protect privacy. to we discussed the issue with brendan o'neill,
12:23 pm
the chief political writer, it spiked, he disagrees wholeheartedly with francis hawkins arguments and things that the new proposals should be seriously reconsidered. disagreed with a lot of what frances agen said. i think she's pushing a problematic argument. this idea that social media platforms are very dangerous. they need to be firm, the controls that people are at risk. and one of the most problematic arguments i think, is the idea that we should ban online anonymity. so people would not be allowed to be anonymous online. i have a real issue with that because lots of people need to be anonymous. they need to be anonymous because they could lose that jobs if they express their opinion. because we know that it's become much more difficult to express controversial views about transgender isn't, for example, or about many other issues. and people prefer to do that behind an anonymous account. so i think we're going down a dangerous road and i think if we don't hold back and have a think about what we're doing,
12:24 pm
we will end up regretting it. now is the u. k. crux down on facebook rusher is training its sites on another tech giant, a google has just paid most of its out standing fines clocked up for violating russian law by failing to remove band content. the sound of ultimately as far from over, however irregular to say the u. s. has now signaled greater willingness to comply with the russian law. i thought is danny armstrong, now reports from moscow. here in moscow, on monday, the state duma has met with google representatives where the multi tech giant has actually agreed to commit it to russian law and to work closely with russian authorities. of course at russia's earth media watchdog ross. com. that is, all of us had a massive m say in what's been going on in google. and some of it's our band concept. it has been an a, an ongoing process. it said to delete some of that ban content, but it has been a process, a process that has yielded or so some reward and some advantages. and now,
12:25 pm
despite google not deleting around about 2600 bits of band material air by october, that figure is down by about of a about half or from the 5700 bits of illegal content. and that were around in, on google's a space online air back when these 2 sized met in april. so in, in, in half a year has been down at by a half. now, although the russian side say that is a good job, it's far from ideal. now rushes into their foreign affairs commission chief vassily, pissed carry off. says that could be down to some convenient community guidelines. now let's just hear what he had to say in those meetings on monday, moscow or yesterday, or this or just it's not right. if google gives its own rules priority over our own broadcast laws, which but during our meeting, which lasted over 2 hours, google demonstrated a willingness to comply with russian law and state bodies who claim they have paid most of those fines. now some sources say that is around $32000000.00 roubles just
12:26 pm
under half a $1000000.00, but the russian government has been quite hard line in their stance. they say, if this content isn't deleted, those funds will only go up and their stance towards google will get harder. now another issue that was raised in those monday meetings was the issue of the deletion from you to the google owned company of artes says the channel artie deutsche without warning. and without the possibility of restoration as $700000.00 view, she completely wiped out in just a click of a button as it were. now, although the reasoning at the time was quite hazy, that was for violating community rules and community guidelines. as it was said, back then piss gary of his said he has raised the issue in the meetings today. but those reasonings and those answers that he got were also, are still questionable and far from satisfactory. as so, as you can see, russia standing firm on foreign sack and foreign interference as it were. although steps had been made as to get some kind of progress in between the 2 sides is still
12:27 pm
many steps to be taken before. both can meet each other in the middle on what they regard illegal content. well, or someone else taking on take tech and social media in particular is that of donald trump, who is basically banned from pretty much every platform. alpha of the x u. s. president has vowed to stand up to tyranny by launching his own network, his how that might work. who do you call to make things great again, what a superclass at this time, your self proclaimed favorite president is coming to rescue social media. so help me god band from every major platform. donald trump stands up to big tech and launch as a long awaited alternative the truth. an ambitious project requires ambitious naming for sure. we have so much money. i don't know what to do with it. the truth has been a huge mystery so far, but if it's down to the liking of the founder,
12:28 pm
we surely can imagine what is going to be rule number one, no corrupts, very fake news media. you are the enemy of the people low rating, cnn fraud 80. so he was failing new york times. all forbid. no need to bag, crazy jim acosta. we're building a better social media without. horton just it doubtless. rule number 2, sleepy joe biden crooked hillary crazy. nancy ban for life pressed over to nothing democrats allowed aboard until the 1st warning. frankly, they should be ashamed. vladimir putin little rocket man and justin from canada are particularly welcome to join who are going to have a lot of great people. we're going to have a lot of great things happening enough with a non transparent, unpredictable algorithm. just the opposite on the truth, orange hair, and a fake tant guarantee or photos. yet the highest reach. whether we love it or hate
12:29 pm
it, it's meyer. a friendly, open minded environment for people that make spelling mistakes and come up with non existing words. don't worry, nobody will judge. bonus get exclusive access to golf streaming from maryland go a 100 days a year. the truth is not available in all countries full accessible in norway fantasies side. this one thing about the platform is cert the shoes. no, this isn't hers. will silence your favorite president. oh, he wears us 2 weeks from now years. so fire high. yeah. both you does about that right now at r t dot com. check out the op ed section for discussion about trump launching his own platform. a sounds pretty fascinating to say the least. well, thank you for joining us here in archie international for the program so far today . half past 7, monday evening, which means i'm wrapping it up. but my colleague, daniel hawkins here at the desk in half an hour's time,
12:30 pm
hope you can join him while the top of the hour. ah, ah ah ah. hello in welcome to crossed out. were all things considered? i'm beulah belts, the more nato tries to explain itself, the more obvious this cold war relic needs to be retired and for good. also, joe biden told us he wanted to be a great unifier, unlike the evil orange man. indeed now there is growing unity in the dislike of bye ah.
