1:03 pm
a qu by the military. and this is, is all on the back of the revolution, of course, in 2019 when omar, but sure of the 30 years as head of country as the head of state a dictator. they called him after he was deposed of by, by popular, put us on, on economic grounds most where you talk about protests, for example. m, you took it, talk about the, at the broader picture of this part of the world, political unrest and the countries really nothing new. i mean, we're talking these, these roots go way back down. thing so done for many years had been under very tough economic sanctions. international sanctions, eventually things got much worse, and there were huge brutus in 2018, 2019. they eventually forced to add a power o mart budget, but those problems have become worse. that is, that is the problem. now the, the civilian part, civilian part, military authorities came in to pave the way for a democracy for elections in 2023. and they were desperate for money. so they appealed to the i, the world bank and such money never comes, you know,
1:04 pm
freely comes with strings attached and what are the conditions was that they introduce all sorts of economic reforms and they removed subsidies, for example, for petrol, for, for, for power, for food they raise taxes, and so that is one of the poorest countries in the world. and you had people who, who marched and protested to depose of buy shit for a brighter, more prosperous, economic future. and eventually they ended up with a courtesy that collapsed and her power fuel food price hikes across the board to things have become much more desperate than we saw of these weeks. a build up impetus. we had both those who were for the transitional council for democracy say yes, things will get worse, but eventually they'll get better. and now we have those who are, who are desperate, who say that, you know, we, we don't care, we want the military to come in, get rid of this incompetent government. we want to, to eat with her mind if it's a military dictatorship. so long as we have food,
1:05 pm
so the so long as things are stable and affordable at nevertheless, now we know that there are put us on going in in the capital that protestors are burning ties protesting against this military coup as they call it. and there have been reports of violence that the number of people have also been injured. the russian form, and as she is urged to sit on these people be allowed to decide the future of their country for themselves. what reaction to the unraveling crisis from a senior research or at the institute for security studies and from a journalist from south said on the gunmen of sa sedan as ah, bring all their defense of vehicle fighters in sudan and through. we decide what piece agreement and what piece of human was a bottle with 10. so done back to normal and also the democrats. but that is not working at men and women. good though, as a difference. governance and what men sedan. and currently that there is
1:06 pm
a political interest from the friends political parties. there's additional intense and actually what with what was the next solution we've done on the 10, but i now, but according when you look at distribution, actually this edition with 10 him to walk because that different group that pro mill face and then the civilian and his pupil is your time if there's no into benson's or valid as are the prime minister in the prime is resign or from day emission position. then the deadline was that as of what asked us can also a class and even the crime reasonable into the country. we, why i, we expect that people get to the streets and those numbers will continue to increase until i'm the military. actually listen to all heed to their demands of my doris, t of sudan, east people. additionally, there's going to be a lot of pressure coming from the region coming from the african union,
1:07 pm
and i bang to national parts list. remember that one of the difficulties that sudan has faced soon by his exit, has been the fact that they've not been able to solve the very common request. and that way they're very basis for the over true of out of my share. and we do know that their role of international partners has been very key in trying to do that. so the way for that is going to be tough. and there's going to be a lot of contestation between the civilian compliment civilians in the country. when the military leaders and we hope that all this ice will be able to proceed on the side of caution and restraint, so that the best ability of sudan will be paramount despite being banned by social media and anti joe biden song called let's go. brandon. today find itself sitting at the top of the hip hop shots in the united states. you removed rafa bryce engraves track. i mean,
1:08 pm
it contains medical information. the song take, same president barton's bungled afghan withdrawal and his handling of the corona virus. in that offense, you said the platform doesn't allow claims about code with the conflict with medical guidelines to charge the artist himself, the noise. there's a 1000000 signs best out right now. and if you're trying to like say, i can't stay for. i'm going to sound where you're banded. that means you're bending my are that me, you're betting my view of what's going on and you can ban. aren't you get anything? i don't curse a minute. i'm a positive music and i do have 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 that's my real life. i'm priest and this is what i believe it should be a legal or social media company to be able to change their guy while every week and then delete things that came prior to that they actually are playing with our free speech. nobody is messing with them. they're messing the bus of the cycle of bryce
1:09 pm
and grace. hey, it is after the now infamous internet catch phrase. it went viral after nbc report was interviewing nascar racing dr. brandon brown and said he heard the crowd shot, let's go. brandon. apparently failing to realize what people were actually shouting by the song comes mister buns approving rating as noticeably dipped according to a new survey at currently if it's below 45 percent found 11 point since he's in operation in january, meaning he's pop out. he's declined faster than all his previous s is since the 2nd world war crossing gray again thinks the president is finding a job tough going. trying to mean people now a lottery would say, let's go brandy and me best perfect. somebody doesn't curse soccer. so my, the same for president biden, people call from the paper, there's nothing more similar to detail ship than what joe buyer currently doing and
1:10 pm
what a lot of countries are going to try to segregate that's needed. i'm back from a to this, but did this like jim crow to point out? i mean, while the world's medical watch still continues to sound, the alarm about the ongoing cobra pandemic insisting it can only be stopped. one way the fundamental will and when the world chooses to ended, it is in our hands. we have all the tools we need effective public health tools and effective medical tools are increasingly empty. shelves are getting shoppers in the u. s. nervously on the calendar made the fast approach to pricing holiday season is caused by major disruption to the national supply chain. over the past fortnight, dozens of ships at u. s. port idling in the waters still waiting to be unloaded. the pandemic is of course wrecked havoc to the global supply chain. shortage of
1:11 pm
port operators and truck drivers in the us has let the traffic jams at docs and mt shock, empty shop shelves. the government claims the force have been overwhelmed with surgeon demand on a booming economy, but the public is not convinced now all last led to get more gloomy reading for joe biden. over half of those quays than a new nationwide survey believe me to ministration is dealing badly with economic matter. concerns grew for other vice for some i think us transportation, secretary to potentially for 2 months and the logistics process. lauren shannon has the details. let's talk about the outrage over p, buddha judge's paternity leave. the past few weeks have not been easy for the bite and administration. not only has congress failed to pass the 3.5 trillion dollar build back better infrastructure plan, but there's also been complaints across the country of supply chain issues with people noting things like empty shells at grocery stores,
1:12 pm
as well as higher prices for goods due to scarcity, and amidst these problems some people began to ask where exactly is transportation secretary p. buddha judge. after all, most people would assume that trying to promote the administration's infrastructure plan would fall under the purview of the transportation secretary. and not only that, but seeing as how many are blaming the shipping crisis, at least in part, on ports in california, being backed up with shipping containers, it would make sense to assume that this is exactly the kind of problem that the transportation secretary should be involving themselves in and yet as the country would soon find out the reason why p booted judge was nowhere to be found was because apparently he had been on paternity leave for the past 2 months. you see earlier this year a secretary booted judge and his husband chase and welcome to newborn twins into their family as the 1st openly gay cabinet official and u. s. history secretary booted judge, becoming a father of course, made national headlines in august. but what was not reported on was the fact that
1:13 pm
he would be taking 2 months off of his job, paid for by us taxpayers. and this has drawn a lot of criticism because in the united states, even paid maternity leave is not federally guaranteed. let alone paternity leave for months for adoptive fathers. and so even those who are supportive of the concept of paternity leave have question whether it's appropriate for a government official to take such an extended break. while so many americans are denied the same privilege and not only that but others have also noted that even if p booted judge were to be given maternity leave. surely the nation going through such a serious supply chain issue should be reason enough for him to re and to work and still others have brought up that if a transportation secretary can actually go missing for 2 whole months with nobody really noticing, perhaps the role isn't as vital as the administration would have us believe, and certainly not vital enough to warrant 2 full months of paid leave. in any case, since our ridge over his leave began to mount secretary boot
1:14 pm
a judge has since returned to work and is absolutely on the defense regarding supply chain issues, he's attempted to dismiss them as simply americans doing too much shopping and overwhelming stores with demand and additionally, regarding the criticism of his paternity leave, buddha judge is now trying to spin the situation into a way to advocate for federally guaranteed at paid family leave. and even though under the trump administration, a cabinet official leaving the job for 2 full months during what is, are you, we, a national crisis would have absolutely sparked the ire of the mainstream media when it comes to soccer table. to judge outlets like nbc have actually come to his defense, trying to argue that criticisms of him are actually due to homophobia. when it comes to problems, things like inflation, a broken foreign policy platform or growing political division. people have judges, paternity leave, is far from the biggest threat facing the united states. however, i think of nothing else. this whole scandal does illustrate the fact that there is
1:15 pm
no shortage of bad news for the bite administration or it's supporters. vaccine donations by western countries are full of findings and much initial glitches. so says the people's vaccine alliance. you later support concludes pharmaceutical companies and rich nations are contributing the job on equally around the world. we spoke talked firms on a marriott who's a so the policy lead for the people's vaccine a lot. what we've seen is developing countries receiving an endless pipes of, to be frank, inadequate gestures of support followed by these broken promises. and it should be a cause of international shame. i think the biggest and the data that we release show is what we've known all along. developing countries simply cannot and should not have to rely on the goodwill of rich countries, all pharmaceutical companies. they're not delivering what we need or the right from the recipes of these seems to be shed,
1:16 pm
so that we can scale up manufacturing and developing sustainable the document named a dose of reality on the line is that nearly 2000000000 cobra vaccine shots were initially promised by a wealthy nation where the only 14 percent of those have been delivered to the countries most in need. just one in 50 people in low income nations awfully vaccinated. while the people vax in lyons is crystal clear on his shoulders. the lion's share of the blame for those figures, namely high income states. now the u. k. a promise that an 800000000 doses to kovacs that say, worldwide initiative angered fair access to the code vaccine. so far that's a little bit less than 10 percent of that promised amount. canada's 40000000 doses promise the seen only 8 percent of that to get handed over uh from that marriott. once again believes the pharmaceutical john have monetize the pandemic. patients
1:17 pm
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 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. luca astrazeneca looked at mcdonough, almost a 100 percent puppet, at the finance. this is 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 pharmacy to corporations. they have already made billions out of this pandemic. it's time to share the recipes, the rights to produce them,
1:18 pm
so that we can get this virus under control. facebook whistleblower francis hogan is testifying to ukiah and peas for working on legislation to track down on home full online content. this comes off to her appearance in the u. s. senate where she accuses facebook of spreading misinformation. height and von 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 exposed as whistleblower, france is hog and 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, with all sorts of allegations regarding safety incentives, censorship,
1:19 pm
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 and espionage operations by hostile states. but then also i want to
1:20 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 that 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 40 much cruelty on mine. and i think all of us have responsibility under duty 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, of course, an emphasis on protecting children from inappropriate content and sexual exploitation
1:21 pm
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 cove. it 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 a pass or lack of privacy. this is
1:22 pm
a terrible position to take encryption benefits users and m whistleblowers world wide. it's essential to privacy and security. so huggins, 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 looks. she's in this for more government surveillance and censorship. this a logical position supports you key and us government's launch, tendon demonization of encryption in the interests of must surveillance today. yet again. frances, how going to really shining a light. in fact, putting all the flood lights on a real need to keep people safe, but and testimony is like this one that really does expose, how difficult it is to get that balance right, particularly online to protect people, but also to protect privacy, to we discuss the issue with brenda neil. she political rights at spike, she disagrees with francis happens arguments and think that new proposals should be
1:23 pm
reconsidered. i disagree with a lot of what his hagan said. i think she's pushing a problematic argument. this idea that social media platforms are very dangerous. they need to be firmly 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 on line. i have a real issue with because lots of people need to be anonymous. they need to be anonymous because they could lose their 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 pull back and have a think about what we're doing, we will end up regretting it as the u. k. crock. down on facebook,
1:24 pm
russia is training sites on another tech science. the google is just paid. most of it sounds standing fine locked up for violating russian law or failing to remove band content. this time of his fall from over the but regulated say the u. s. firm has no signal greater willingness to comply on. he's danny armstrong, reports from oscar. 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 it rushes as media watchdog ross. com that is or who has had a massive m say in what's been going on in google and some of it's, i have been content. it has been m as an ongoing process and since the lease from that ban content, but it has been a process, a process that has yielded or so some reward and some advantages at now, despite google not deleting around about 2600 bits of band material or by
1:25 pm
october, that figure is down by about of about half or from the 5700 bits of illegal content . and that were around in, on google's a space on line air back when these 2 sized met in april. so in half a year has been down at by a half now, although there was a 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 yesco stores is what it is. 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, fuel 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 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,
1:26 pm
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 archie says the channel archie deutsche without warning. and without the possibility of restoration as $700000.00 view ship 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 pissed, gary, of his said he has raised the issue in the meetings today. but those reasonings are not 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 tear conferring interference as it were. although steps had been made to get some kind of progress. air between the 2 sides is still many steps to be taken before. both can meet each other in the middle on what they
1:27 pm
1:28 pm
who it states have to be ready to be able to afford anytime and find the luxury that for sure, despite having the most expensive outcast system in the world, we have poor life expectancy. we have higher infant mortality. we have more deaths from treatable causes, so americans are suffering every day from it. it's as if these people don't count. i saw how they can choose are customers and dump a sick so also satisfy their wall street investors. no parents should have to see what i saw. so if you're denying payment for someone's care, your make life and death decisions and determine to get to live and who dies to me,
1:29 pm
1:30 pm
there. no one really thought anything different and you just all thought i just i feel good on the way for the surgery, his lungs failed. 30 seconds. what it killed him. say i had gotten stuck with so many needles by day there's a few points that were really the turning point. did you pay to? so if you reach out here, we're searching new medical problems in the united states knowing the doctor's holy crap. he's gonna die. oh no, he's the better it was. i wouldn't want my worst enemy to go through that i'm out of breath.
