you pace is a competent leader ah twitter faces a barrage of accusations that is doing the u. s. government's bidding after the social media. john collaborated with a washington funded thing tank in suspending. more than 3000 accounts from 6 countries for alleged state bank propaganda. doesn't use the case, whole college of midwives apologizes for new inclusive guidelines describing mothers as postnatal people. former and a chest nurse told us a vocal minority is hijacked. the conversation isn't yet another example of stone wall going in with diversity offices and telling people how to reset their thinking of their members. and an alignment ruling, a woman ball with

a spinal defect windsor case against the doctor who 20 years ago, failed to advise her mother properly about having children or guests debated the case cost. what i do now with medicine now in 20 years time, we made george my action to the doctor was completely wrong. but there is something rather bizarre about somebody saying, and i mean, this is a sensitive like, i wish i had never been born. ah hi there. thanks for joining me this saturday morning. you watching r t international concerns are being raised over social network, twitters possible ties to the u. s. government after the tech john suspended more than 3000 accounts from 6 countries that including china and russia, over alleged state sponsored information operations. now twitter miss decision is

on which accounts the suspend were made with the guidance of the australian strategic policy institute. that's a think tank that has been sponsored by us government agencies, including the department of defense ortiz. daniel hawkins tells deeper into the institute sensitivities. it's common knowledge that trusts in conventional media is falling. you know, when you ask someone where they get their news and they reply, i don't watch tv. i'll do my own research or get my news off social media. that's fair enough. that least with normal news, you tend to know who's sponsoring it, be it's a government or corporation. and you can make your own conclusions. but when you see who's behind an organization claiming to be independent and non partisan draft in to help provide independent analysis to stop social media manipulation, well, anyone would have a few questions. it's not like the australian strategic policy institute hide the fact there, sponsored by the u. s. government or some of the biggest names in the military.

industrial complex. the long list is there for all to see is just when so much funding comes from the sources. one does wonder just how independent and balanced they can be. even former australian officials have concerns about the things. thanks. output echoed by some current lawmakers. surely it's fair to subject aspect funding arrangements to scrutiny. sb receives core funding of $4000000.00 from the department of defense. again, the thing thank makes no secret of its anti china stance and the list of works on their website. in fact, china is a key target of the organizations works from human rights in shin gan to chinese tech systems influence projects or this information in social media. many funded by the u. s. department of state and defense. their definition of independence may be malleable to say the least. an a s p, i are good at what they do,

at least for their defense, industry, sponsors. the numbers say it all since the think tank was founded 20 years ago. weapons manufacturers have collected tens of billions of dollars in government contracts. prior to the coven pandemic. the organization hosted dozens of events. i'm with bringing together key players in defense and politics. providing the opportunity for closed door discussions with government departments and agencies. the s p i is so heavily involved with foreign governments and political organizations. it's even registered with the australian governments. forward inputs transparency register. many were so pleased with the think tanks work. their funding to the organization has grown significantly year on year as have their funds from sponsorship and commercial revenue under the direction of executive director peter jennings. who is himself clear where the blame for increasing tensions lies. militarize themselves pharmacy, posing china's authoritarian control in hong kong, threatening taiwan and japan on

a daily basis. china is the strategic problem in the region and back to the point. the thing thank is now partnered with the social media joint, helping to decide and coordinate what information users have access to and what is sensitive so much for an opponent, analysis and serving the public conversation is little wonder that some question whose interests does this really serve or twitter stress is his goal is to ensure the integrity of public conversation, alessandro bruno and independent political. unless, as though there is more to it than just that, there is a climate of tension of geopolitical tension already surrounding that. so it's not surprising that twitter is very happy to comply to the you the, let's put at the u. s. mainstream or the deep state view. i'm not surprised at all

that they cooperating with an institute such as the australia and that's not the only one there. cooperating with the, perhaps they chose those too early to appear independent, but they don't expect independent advice. they're looking for the kind of view that reflects we ultimately be american view. how different is the australian view from the american right now, considering that they have just joined our course, that institute is much more closely aligned to langley in virginia, where i'm located, that it is to twitter users wanting independent information in the u. k. the role college of midwives, the said, sorry for its latest supposedly inclusive guidelines, which made no reference to women or mothers, but only to post natal people responding to complaints the college, call it an oversight form or an interest in this we spoke, he says it's not the role to tell midwives what to think evil. don't want to replace the word series, a very, very vocal minority and

a very effective act. this group in stone wall who want to rewrite the rules by which we live. i don't know who they think they're appealing to because the person in front of the midwife is a biological woman. why the world college of midwives has chosen to adopt policies, advocated by stonewall, is a matter for them to answer. but my point here is that the general public does not support base midwives do not support tate and i actually neither does the transgender community. it is one organization that is pushing it to gender so hard and is getting it very, very badly. a mother is a mother and the role of the midwife is to ensure the mothers safety and the baby safety. and that is the end of their role. they should not be involving themselves

in this sort of ridiculous political posturing. and the midwives union withdrew the gender neutral guidance, following an online backlash and instructions for an h. i stuff on how to put newborns to bed safely. they did not mention women or to referring rather to parents and cares. the goddess was supposed to be as you bt inclusive, but it didn't go down well with every one. how can you possibly rise about pregnancy and birth without mentioning women? that's deliberate, not an oversight. apparently the royal college and midwife says midwives need to call mothers postnatal people, not mothers, all women. so to all you ladies out there, you're a postnatal person, not a mother. i. right. how did the royal college of midwives forget about women? they are the sole reason you even exist. formerly chestnuts, rebecca butler says neither the general public, no transgender people,

themselves support the idea. people don't want to replace the words fairies, very, very vocal minority. and a very effective act to this group in stonewall who want to rewrite the rules by which we live. i don't know who they think they're appealing to, because the person in front of the midwife is a biological woman. why the world college has midwife, has chosen to adopt policies, advocated by stonewall, is a market for them to answer. but my point is that the general public does not support base midwives do not support it. actually not evidence a transgender community. it is one organization that is pushing it to gender so hard. i'm getting it very, very badly. a mother is a mother and the role of the midwife is to ensure the mother's safety and the baby

safety. and that is the end of their role. they should not be involving themselves in this sort of ridiculous political posturing. a young woman with a spinal defect to successfully sued her mother's dogs for giving a bad advice 20 years ago before her pregnancy and ruling the k cycles agreed. failure to give advice about vital supplements amounted to negligence. easy tombs is a parish au jumping star due to her condition, she has to spend some days connected to tobac just found. her mother was not advised in accordance with the gardens to take folic acid. prior to conception and for the 1st 12 weeks of pregnancy, the amount awarded in compensation that will be decided at a later hearing. and it could be significant in teams will require extensive care for the rest of her life. provided with the correct recommended advice she would have delayed attempts to conceive in the circumstances there would have been

a later conception which would have resulted in a normal healthy child. the doctor in question denies the allegation, saying he provided all the necessary instructions 20 years ago. we discussed what precedent the ruling sets with our guest john gaunt. radio host and columnist, and doctor dean agate, a g p. this taste we're talking about was 20 years ago. in year 2001 i think it was . and around that sort of time we 2 would probably have been giving advice off. well, if your diet is rich and thought a cast it, keep that up, keep doing it. you don't necessarily need to supplement. so again, it's really hard to judge what happened back in 2001, based on the standard that we have today. can you really bring one? you can because it's up, but can you bring the case 20 years after? so the poor afford, i mean this isn't for linda mind where somebody was given, you know, a tablet. it isn't that kind of situation in this scenario shows that you're going to have a much longer time in the future to very clearly document. the advice we give,

and more importantly, actually the advice that we don't give. so it's kind of a significant down to put our time one of the other big challenges apart from documentation. it's about how you are judged because of course, what i do now is medicine. now in 20 years time, we may judge my actions as the doctor has completely wrong because as time progresses and we learn more, our practice is progress. one of my worries would be for doctors that they would on the side of caution now and perhaps start recommending for other both difficulties . maybe abortion i'm thinking particularly of down's syndrome babies when we do know that they, these people can go on to lead. very successful lives as well, so have to be aligned somewhere, doesn't matter because of course we recognize that and patients there are certain details of medicine that's our job to teach them. busy to bring them on that journey to get them on board so that we can make decisions together to treat the problem. but if we're saying and all that common sense stuff to falls into the lap

of the doctor, to have to deal with and say, well, come on, the doctors responsibility to tell you how to live your life. what to do. not only and they're responsible for prescribing, but also responsible for telling you how to live healthily and if you don't have healthy, that's the doctor's thoughts. and that's an impossible situation to doctors to work it. we do need perhaps now in the light this case, we need to put some safety guidelines in that goes to the patient and for the doctor. i mean, i do find it incredible that 20 years after this, the doctor is in this position with his whole life ruined by still of immense sympathy, obviously for lady involved as well. you know, what were already in that position of jeopardy? because that's exactly the situation we dr. david moment. for example, if i was to get patients and advice today and the patient doesn't necessarily follow that advice, doesn't necessarily come back to see me again, like i asked them to do. and then suddenly they develop a severe illness and they come back and see me and say, well, the doctor found it. my argument back would be, well,

you didn't come back to me like asked you to or you didn't do the things that i asked you to. nonetheless, i will have to go through the process of calls. i just think this is a really tragic case. and i wish you had never come to court. i wish the evie had got the help and the assistance she needs. but there is something rather bizarre about somebody saying, i mean this is a sensitive why. i wish you would never been born. phil had for you england's facing what one top surgeon describes is the country's biggest ever cancer catastrophe. coming up in a few moments. ah ah

ah mm. it's in their interest for sound financial upon as to say, the value of the currency lose value because they can gain traction on social media saying it's somehow a good thing, but not everybody is an undertaker. not every one is a grave robber. you know, some people are actually out there trying to be productive and lean productive lives. and of course, that philosophy of, oh, the currency has gone to 0 and less than 0. and that's a good thing is this is the, is a man to lose. oh,

come back, the new only current strain of cove, it's now been detected in $38.00 countries. according to the world health organization, no deaths have yet been reported due to this particular mutation. but recent data suggests the viruses spreading twice as quickly as the previous delta variant. ma, south africa, which was among the 1st to report the new strain is sing record daily cove infections to low vaccination. right in the countries started to pick up in recent days, jobs are widely available, but less than half the unknown population has been inoculated on correspond, flawlessly, a spoke with vaccine experts in the south african capital. people don't know what this on the crown is, especially because sciences haven't confirmed conclusively what the side effects are. so we are getting a lot of people coming through out of fear, especially in our older population. you know, people who are each and seventy's and eighty's, we see been quite anxious to get

a booster. and so the, as i would say, traffic sheets, a fear of the unknown, the is a concern at the vaccines aren't working, but i always say to them, remember, last year, how many patients we had in hospital in icu use, how hospitals almost had to convert every ward in so many i see you include in the e r's compared to now people are still getting contracted with covered but it's manageable. so we are seeing numbers going up. but in terms of how severe the reaction is to the virus, it's a lot listened. if this is a private explanation fantail, which means it is well we thought and full of information, a far cry from many of the vaccination centers in the poor locations here in south africa where there's a lack of resources and people don't have the kind of information that they have here, hadn't been here 6 months ago. it would have been a very different story. but in the last 6 months, you've had in july unrest across the country. and in november you had municipal

elections. following those 2 mass events, you now have a situation in south africa. we're almost everybody knows somebody who has contracted coverage. we need to realize that everything that we do will be a precautionary measure, so that we can control and help save a good, a good member of the my georgia as only meets also taken metropolitan that you on find shoring solutions. immediately. i was kind of an inherent girl in the world. you realize that if you don't put on the effort someone else might have to buy for you. so i just decided i'm going to protect people and come and get my vaccinations, and i need to get that immunity going and, and yeah, the bosses and the vaccines worth of science as shown less and with in south africa specifically we've known that vaccinated people are not in hospitals, on ventilators, it's mostly undocumented. of do feel that there will be more of your videos, you know, still going. i am still going to be the last one, becoming so, so if unvaccinated, i'm also, you know,

positively to physically. i'm jimmy little. so i'll be strong in my body. this is south africa, 2nd christmas and a lockdown december, but it's also the main holiday season, which is why many here are concerned that with the ongoing international travel band, just what the impact on the economy will be. and whether or not they'll ever get to spend a christmas with a loved ones policy or r t, johannesburg, south africa. more than 700000 potential cancer cases have been missed in england during the pandemic. as according to a government watchdog reporter leading surgeon says that the funding reflects the country's biggest ever cancer catastrophe. the report also found one and for cancer patients have been a waiting list for months and up to 60000, missed their 1st treatment due to log downs and the threat of covey. the report recognizes that the government's releasing extra funds to fight the problem for medics war and that is still nowhere near enough. the national audit office report

shows who are in the middle of the biggest cancer catastrophe ever hit the n h s. there is a deadly cocktail of delays across the board and breach in a lottery of cancer inequality and to grow in cancer backlog. and it feels like the government and in a chest leaders have their heads and descend. well, we have contacted an h. s. england for comment spokesperson did release a statement earlier missing the extra demands of treating current of ours victims have affected the ability to provide routine and non urgent care. but some o'clock microbiologist says that it all points to some difficult months that had false battles. the number is far too high. it is surprising, but it's not surprising when we should have a backlog all throughout the cave in saga, which is lasted well for, for well, every year. and i was unable to deal with this normal case load. and arguably could have been even worse without the lock downs. so those cases are just going to mount

top. it's still going to be critical issue. the winter is always the pipeline to dna testing lives. and i can see us having, if not a disastrous time this week, probably won't be process, it will be tight because even is and we've got this crap, this can be possible to some cancer centers did manage. it was difficult. it was not easy. and of course, there are questions about infrastructure. so regional cancer center, for example, may have better infrastructure and better ability to type a more local center. so it's not always straightforward, but it can be done. the white house is blaming a surgeon lawlessness in america on the pandemic procedure and sankey, when questioned about race and mass looting highlighted cove, it was being a key factor when a huge group of criminals organizes themselves and they want to go lu, pay store,

a cbs to nordstrom, a home depot, until the shelves are clean. you think that because of the hand i i think a root cause in a lot of communities is the pandemic. yes, jen sac, his remarks committee, spy, kin. excuse me, in looting in a number of states over the last month. something some are blaming on the rise of the defun, the police movement have a look back at some of that recent looting ah return police officer thomas, case o says that the search has nothing to do the pandemic and isn't facts related to bail reform. he also told us that the day from the police movement is an emotional

response by people who don't understand the reality of policing. just embarrassing that they're not admitting what it is, it has nothing to recall, but it has nothing to do with bell reform. and then releasing criminals, right back on the street, not prosecuting properly has nothing to do. a coven beef on the police movement is an emotional response for any time that the public doesn't understand when use of force is needed, right? you have unarmed either black americans or whatever the case is shot by police in and before an investigation is done. the civil rights activists come in and claim police misconduct. so we already have a situation where emotions are high. the voter thinks the emotional voter thinks is that who this is d funding, the police, which means we're going to get rid of the cops on our streets. and then let's replace them with the social workers or other people who are better trained and equipped to deal with emotional issues on the street. when you start to have that mindset, well then you're, you're looking at police negatively. so already the immoral,

the criminal who are out there, feel that they've got the backing of the public. well, i don't have to obey the law. i can break the law because there's already this massive movement to define the police, which means they're going to side with me. it's a mindset of it's okay for us to do this. and we're going to act like criminals because nothing's gonna happen to us is what assessing a crime wave, the sizzle, so so from from sorting inflation, many americans are blaming the by administration for that 20 percent st. paul leadership is the country's biggest problem. democrats among them with some quitting the policy, others even switching sides, breaking it down for his, his aunty scaling open. apparently it's not only working families throughout america who are disappointed by the biden administration's handling of several crises. it's also members of biden's own democratic party. some like the former spokesperson for the washington dc mayor, have decided to switch over to the republicans hispanic, and also black eyes. i should be democrat by fault,

but i'm going against their narrative and i feel like right now everything is crumbling for the democrats biden. is completely destroying the economy right now and people can feel it. so that's what's happening in washington dc. now washington, d. c, is a city that is pretty solidly in the democratic camp. democrats sometimes even get 90 percent of the vote in elections. no wonder democrats as far away as texas are switching sides friends, something it's happening in south texas, and many of us are waking up to the fact that the values of those in washington dc, on not our values, not the values of most texans, the ideology of to funding the police of destroying the oil and gas industry and the chaos our board is disastrous for those of us who live here in south texas. in addition to the recent shifts, 19 democrats are set to leave the house of representatives in 2022. that includes 3 committee chair,

some are retiring or seeking another office. republicans only need to gain 5 more seeds in the upcoming mid term vote in order to re take control of the house of representatives. and many observers say their chances of doing so are pretty good. some are comparing it to the republican sweep 10 years ago. how's democrats have more retirements than they did in 2010 when they lost 63 seats? it's not only the party that's losing people, kamala harris, the vice president of joe biden, is watching her team implode as well. her spokesperson and her communications director have both decided to quit with reports indicating that there are 2 more aids who have one foot out. the door reports are leaking out about strife between her office and the biden team, and the backdrop to all of this is the jo biden's approval ratings. keep going down, the mid terms are less than a year away and the democratic party seems to be crashing and burning. it appears that some in light of the circumstances have decided to jump out of a sinking ship,

which might be causing the democrats even more trouble. the democrats are not delivery of plain and simple, and they're specifically not delivering to the people who are responsible for putting them in power, namely indigenous black, brown, asian, and poor white people. they had given his president and his congress a chance to govern, and the results so far have just not been adequate enough. we have not seen a protection of voting rights. we have not seen police reform. we have not seen action on climate change. i think that people are rightfully letting this administration know based on the approval ratings that are more needs to be done and very, very quickly. or there will be electoral consequences if things don't turn around. and i did very, very quickly where people can start to see the trajectory of it going upwards in their favor. they're going to respond with their boats and the democrats could be wiped out. the festive season has got off to a band staff in london. the capitals showcase christmas tree in trafalgar square.

isn't quite up to his usual standard this year leading some to wonder with a new way which traditionally provides it is trolling. the brits ah ah, ah, the trafalgar square, christmas tree got a trim from boris johnson's ball, but all we had to go with. no, we know the trip vargas gray christmas tree has arrived with the following media includes potentially sensitive content. sometimes i wonder if no way is trolling off the base when they choose which tree to give us full trafalgar square

. i would like everyone to know that half of my branches are not missing. they are social distancing. remember to stay safe this christmas and where a face covering on public transport and while inside shops something's rather today, thanks to company and don't forget to check out more stories by heading to a web site. that is aunty, they'll come with

join me every posted on the alex simon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess of the world politics. spoke business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. oh hello. i'm back guys. are this is the kaiser report. let's get right it. right, well max, you know what jamie diamond has no intrinsic value? well, that's a response to his tweet tier. jamie diamond bitcoin has no intrinsic value. bitcoin

says.
