ah no one else who com and leave it so short so the in l t d in office the 5 of the yes are to in the 80 the enough mrs. guns until sunday i with ah, but you guarantee unconditionally that you will not invade ukraine or any other southern country you keep demanding some guarantees from us. you must give us the guarantee it is up to you and you must do it immediately. president putin, that blaming nato for exacerbate intentions along the russian borders. he answers questions during his annual media briefing. more than a half of adults in britain are too scared to express that real opinions openly for fear falling victim to cancel culture. reaction on the strengths of luck. by living

in a culture now and bullying, we used to have a good healthy democracy. good. how we did right. and country where you could save it and then you'd have to all your case. people are frightened to always say what they fail in cases. it was a muslim in jewish communities in belgium found to find a bound on the ritual slaughter of animals. they say she forwarded back. i think animals deserve to be sorted humanely. you were really concerned about the mobile. i think that maybe she used to become a big an order with. i'm with chris just around the corner now are 2 years from center himself to see how the pandemic has affected his present delivery plan. even at this most magical time of year, there is quite a lot of upset out there. her feeling re, temperatures, really old for

a lot of brushing. good morning and speaking of christmas and christmas present, this is all present to ourselves who got to sell the new studio. lots of bells and whistles. it's very different. hope you like it. and this is just the template one . wait till you see the new one that we all build inc. first, so let's get to the news 9 toes sex. t general says that the alliance never promised russia that it would not expand eastwards. after bloody mer, putin lashed out, nato for installing base is ever closer to russia's borders. he was speaking during his annual end via merit and q, and a, with the media more than 500 jo. this gathered in moscow for that event, including representatives of foreign outlets. so will you guarantee unconditionally that you will not invade ukraine or any other southern country or should use to will deserted erections will not depend on negotiations. they will depend on unconditional compliance with russia. security,

in the sense we've made it clear that any further movement to the east is unacceptable. we're not threatening anyone. we didn't come to the u. s. a. you case borders? no, they came to ours. not an inch to the east, that was a nato guarantee in 1990. so what became of that, they fooled us. we seen 5 waves of nato expansion and you keep demanding some guarantees from us. you must give us the guarantees it is up to you, and you must do it immediately right now. instead of talking about it for decades. brushes opposite fine, churchy praise of graceful resolution browser, a loss of war mon current been going on for some time. ah russia and then we can take attention away from some of our direct the kids she's the also spoke about. the other thing that marcia has been charged with or suspected of manipulating, and that is the guy gas markets in, in europe. he says, well, what we're hearing from various outlets is baseless and senseless. germany for

example, is buying gas at $57.00 times below market price. we're and then they're using that gas to perhaps celadon, to poland, which is paying an entirely different price because it insisted on trading with russia at market prices. now, the gases are the above $2000.00. well, it is ruinous, ruinous for both e. you citizens who have seen their household built for electricity go up for 500 percent ruinous also for businesses which year which is she and even larger rise the rural to him with boy than with they are lying to us there confusing every one gets promised. shipping the entire volume requested by its counter agents in accordance with the exec in contracts. they're even increasing the volume by around 20 percent. they're increasing shipments to europe. and i believe the gas from is the only company that does that us suppliers are not supplying the european markets enough. europeans used to think they had premium markets,

but they were left behind. were talking about liquefied natural gas. americans are transferring their shipments to the premium markets to latin america, brazil, china, south korea, japan and the prices k. we were saying we must not destroy long term contracts, but no, said the european commission, we must use market terms. the market will regulate it. well, here's how it's regulated. we have 2000 dollars, 1000 cubic meters. you're welcome. the other thing that popped up here was us you of recent scandals and russia involving jails, prisons and the torture of suspected inmates by prison authorities at these were both, both incidents were, was shocking because there was graphic footage of it happening. there are more cases where we haven't seen footage, that is something that has been a sore point among russians for, for many years. and glad mir putin was asked. what is being done about this. he said that the,

the russian government is taking action. there are number of criminal proceedings against her former prison institution, their staff members, as well as the fact that peter, this is a problem only in russia. this is a problem in even in developed countries, had it is very difficult to put an end to them. solution in this case is necessary festival, to rely on the data of the investigation. 17 criminal cases had been initiated and obeying under investigation you have named only one or 2 people, but there are a 1000 or more than a 1000 dismissed and their criminal cases opened against them. yes, there is a problem. we need to work with it and rely on a conscientious, fully fledged investigation of those crimes. and these clearly crimes that have been committed, we need to bring it to an end so that everyone understands the punishment for these offences is inevitable. i was, are lucky enough also to be able to ask vladimir putin question. my question was about canceled culture phenomenon as well as woocommerce that have so pervaded western politics. sometimes in very extreme forms. for example, we ah, for example,

the incident with, with jake a rousing and how the axes that she made famous with her harry potter movies have turned against. and i asked that we appeared not what he thinks about the social justice culture and whether it is coming to russia as so bill is nash of options through the peculiarity and strength of our millennial society lies in the fact that russia has evolved as a multinational and multi confessional state and we've learned to respect each other. and this means to respect the basis of our traditional spiritual culture, human or the peoples of the russian federation of a certain internal moral protection against such retrogression and world. this must be fought not by direct instructions and shouts, but by the support of our traditional values. possession lasted for fear, for 4 hours, 3 hours, 56 minutes. i believe though, people defer on how long. exactly. and this is this year's vladimir prudence press conference. where you just heard the topic of cancel culture raise their by mirage

with the president. well, in britain it transpires that more than half of all adults say that they're too scared to reveal what they really think. and new polls found that they are worried about being so called council would be it by friends, by colleagues, even by their own family. and he shandey address dashti dixon to what's going on. so consent can. so culture is silencing academics, a gagging public figures and wiping celebrities off the face of the planet. wait, can really say that. who knows? but i know the only one biting my tongue is according to you got paul. majority of breads are living in fear of. well being canceled, the majority of britons 57 percent say they have at least sometimes found themselves stopping themselves from expressing their political or social views for fear of judgment or negative responses from others. the idea or a person can be cancelled, or in other words, blocked from having a platform is happening to hundreds with a very similar cycle. you say something offensive receive a public backlash,

and suddenly you're gone. john finish cancelled by by. but it's only happening to big names and faces, but people like you and me work online on dates and even at home. i think we're living in a coach now of bullying, bullying in workplaces. government actually. so i think people are frightened to always say what they feel in case there's a come back home. and so the main she may just seem to have one. so a point of view of everything. and so if you say in different you get what you get quote, or has to think there's a lot of things, the climate change code age or whatever. there is no discussion that is the narrative and you of the group, or we should cause you them has a lot of issues where you fear tread very careful about what you say and that's not right now, but good debate. and we used to have a good healthy democracy. we have a debate and country where you could say things and then you'd have to all your

case and some people just don't want to argue, i want to hear the ever argument. i just want to shut you down and say, no, you can't tell you that you don't allowed to say that i thought divide the traditional approach to the apology. atonement forgiveness is no longer enough to warrant if they weren't accountability. social justice boy caught and the more controversial the view on any hot topic like race, immigration breck, that the more you should keep your thoughts yourself and your mouth shop most with less progressive views on device of social topics, feel more reluctant to voice their opinion. some say rather than being politically correct, the whole thing has been spelled out of control into his social media, merciless mob rule. but i haven't felt some from taking the risk of being cancelled . like for instance, j. k. rowling and anti trust public position. worse bees, freedom of slavery, ignorance is trans. the meanest individual. horace too is a woman. oh, that wasn't her only comment. there's been plenty more. and as

a result, she's been wiped off the face of the earth even by the world. she created the pot to community and the movie production team deleted her from scripts. meanwhile, h b o is 20th anniversary. she was baud. not only that, a number of credit leaks class they really do exist announced that they're rebranding to distance themselves away from j. k. rowling, the tough that's a trans exclusionary radical feminist, but there are others in her potty school of thought. jackie raleigh wrote all the harry potter books by herself, and they canceled her because she said gender was a fact. and then the trans community got mad and they started calling her turf trans, exclusionary radical feminist on tune, turf gender as a fact. well, trans employees and allies at netflix stage to walk out forcing the c e o to publicly apologize when you

voted. meanwhile team tough relished in the drama if this is what being cancels is like i love it. the song. 4 continues as monty python star, terry gilliam got canceled for endorsing chapels, netflix special shortly after the old vic right here in london, announcer pulling his shirt into the woods from its november schedule. it is very said that a great cultural institution like the old, vague, allowed itself to be intimidated into cancelling our production of into the roots by small group of closed minded humor, averse i. d. o. x on their stuff. my unspeakable crime was recommending my facebook followers to watch netflix special. ok, so that's on the most extreme end of the scale. but at the end of the day,

how hard is it not to say something that's obviously donning, turns out really hard indeed. cancel culture, this cancelling this punishment, it's everywhere. punishment and i for and i, you said that therefore you must never work again. sooner or later, the counselors will win. oh, british actors of prime time, tell a more and let been thinks even comedy is now on the verge of being canceled. it's a bit like laughter in church. something has to be forbidden to make you really laugh, to make you belly laugh. it's when you shouldn't be laughing and so therefore, all the things that are being canceled out, or i'm afraid the things that have always made people laugh. so is it time to cancel, cancel culture, because pretending somebody doesn't exist because they've touched a nerve, is a simply slope as let's face it. we've all upset someone somewhere. haven't we? muslim organizations in belgium and fighting against restrictions on the ritual

slaughter of animals. this is something that's been bound in 2 regions, a move this now being challenged in the european court of human rights. the was the greens, he hopes that this court will, might reason triumph over this emotionally charged case. the rule of law must not come to the growing political and social pressure of populace movements that are waging a battle of symbols against vulnerable minorities across europe. now the restrictions say that animals must 1st be electrically stunned before they are killed. the idea being to reduce the level of their suffering. but muslim groups together with jewish organizations, say stunning, actually inflicts more pain. previously, the european court of human rights has backed the method the protection of the welfare of animals is sent him beings, constitutes a legitimate, subjective of general interest. we spoke about this with mohammed sha fake, who's the chief of the case where i'm a damn foundation. and also we spoke to radio host and columnist john gordon. they

shared with their thoughts on the controversy. what this is, is another example of attacks against my i naughty committee, in this case, it was from a jewish community who was standing united. i'm taking court action against this decision. if you're talking about animal welfare, then you should really be talking about the bo welfare across the board and the european union under european commission and countries in europe in europe, a using this is an excuse to come down on the individual rise. a similar poll just for united kingdom, it would unanimously not unanimously but by the vast majority said that animal should be stunned. first, i think animals deserve to be slaughtered humanely. i understand the religious really reasons why both muslim, well, certain sections of muslim community and the jewish community want to carry on with these barbaric traditions. no religion, whether it's jewish or muslim,

or even christian if it was a similar case, should trump the law of the land and i would love this to be outlawed in britain as well. no religion. from any law, we are all opera operating within the, within the respective laws. we liberate, i'm sure the idea that any religion has precedent or others is not fact. you correct? and actually in the u. k, we have the search of england, which you know is, is our national faith and we live within the i don't, i don't have and i actually celebrate that we have a strong christian community here in the u. k. need not country. and we have the vibrant faith as you said, to take this issue. but you know, if you were really concerned about anymore and audio safety that maybe should choose to become a beacon or of a chevy and not pot take it because, you know, unable to stop. i would accept fully on the me teacher as well. of course,

killing and animal bring some pain, but if they're stunned, reduces that. and that's what we need you yourself said the muslim community is splish on this. the jewish community is as well. mohammed if there was a pole to morrow, well, both sides could put forward the position, you know, as well as i do, that the overwhelming majority would banish. because each crew, i've always believed that, you know, we've got to respect nathan within the confines of the law that we live in. i just feel that this is been done in a climate where, you know, fall right. activism far right. narrative is sweeping across the european union and that narrative is becoming mainstream. i think that's it. this is another indication of that. and when you see the jewish community and the muslim community on the same side standing together, that shows you, we put a tackle this issue as company here and nazi accusations of double standards is off

german, sis, the channels were neutral. there are getting its license broad offer on the broadcast, including a c and, and affiliate that is apparently not a problem. explain old after this branding. ah ah, ah, ah,

when you listen to the sequence of tone and you thank gonna happen. you know, why happened, a distinctive breeding response is engage that are relevant to you, how we experience reward and pleasure. well, listening to some people looking at this is a kind of a kind of choreographing of our expectations. so with quote back accusations of double standards off flying, have to germany, pull the plug on august, the channel r t d. the problem being apparently that the station got his license abroad. not that it mattered when a c and an affiliate did exactly the same parties. nicky air has more just the

hours after the launch of artes, bronze, new german language channel, you cheap, blocked it valley a week later. german regulators force european satellite operator, utah sat, who suspended south despite all t holding a satellite transmission license in serbia, giving the right to broadcast in germany under a council of europe agreement. yet for germany authorities, it's not enough. the unauthorized start of broadcasting of the kremlin channel r t d is an undisguised, a front to our current law and well established media policy. anyone who has a broadcasting license in serbia does not have one for the e. you. the program managers know that for sure, the most your take on this, this regional and local 12, our new platform and exclusive cnn affiliate. similar to r t d, there's china broadcasts in 3rd be on a license issued elsewhere, in this case, look from book. but unlike r t d, it doesn't have the thumbs up from the european convention on trans frontier

television. what it does have is friends in high places. the european found for reconstruction and development, the european commission, and the top investment fund. the k. k are headed by disgrace for my c. i a chief david portray us lobbied forward. the tragic iranian portray is the man who took part in the military destruction of serbia in the 90s. now setting up media that have not been lost on observers, more disturbing, still, the man now invested in bringing objective information to the people. in 2010, recruited the 1st army of internet trolls. of course k k already controls a large number of internet companies. and there are other things worth a 2nd look like the alleged lack of transparency investigations into k k all have found a lot of goes to offshore companies mushrooming and tax havens and a bit to hide the original owners and find national works for at least last 6 years

millis, if you have been exchanged for shares of affiliated companies, war than hundreds of millions of lawns, capital reductions and increases in occasional incredible amounts and ultimately material payments of capital shares, which are extremely difficult to trace or verify. at the time salinas tele mac and serbia's broadband were taken over by u. s. investment firm kiki, our, which controls billions of dollars in assets worldwide. so here we have at 2 channels, the both sister channels of big news outlets, both with transmission license issued in foreign countries. only one with the knowledge from the european convention on trans frontier, television, the other the brain shout of some questionable stakeholders. one barely last week, yet the other is celebrating 7 years on the f saying that sometimes it's not. what do you know? but who, you know? julianna's house is appealing

a london court decision to extradite him to the united states. washington is pursuing the whistle blow over the disclosure of classified data about american military operations. an earlier us expedition request that was denied because of mental health concerns. we've sent state side sounds, could face been sentenced to up to a 175 years in prison. the america's own contact host, chris had just spoke to us on his father. he says that his son is being tortured, doing a sancha committed empires, greatest sin. he exposed it as a criminal enterprise. he documented his lies, callous, disregard for human life, rampant corruption and innumerable war crimes. we speak about the torture of julian sanchez with his father john ship long as a san remains isolated, imprison neither the united states nor the united kingdom will be in a hurry to bring the extradition proceeding to a conclusion. the longer every procedural step can be spun out,

the more assigned his health and stability will deteriorate and the stronger the deterrent effect on other journalists and whistleblowers will be very true. torture is committed by the institutions that come prosecuting service that foreign and colonial office and the judiciary. it's actually committed by those people, as people who come to work, sign another instrument of torture on julian assange, and then go home and add a glass of wine that supporting the goons who oversee the empire sing from the same satanic song book. empires always kill those who inflict deep and serious wounds, viciousness, the united kingdom and its agents. in significant people ruling climb upon corpses in order to be significant. it's nauseating to

see. and you can catch on interview in full on saturday or on on that's on our t america or by heading to the portable dot tv app. and you'll find it there as well funded. this are christmas. of course it's just 11 good sleep away. and santa claus is getting ready to deliver presence as usual, but the panoramic is still raging energy prices a soaring. and so he's wishlist this year. well it looks very different to what it did in previous years. ne, p to all of attract all the way to lapland, to hear from the man himself. what his little hope has been loading onto this light . ah, here it arty. we always go above and beyond, to bring you the very latest news. rain or shine, whatever the weather, even coming here to the very frozen far north. i've come to lapland to meet

chess, you send lots of chess. so at least people's i q is, will be improving somewhat during pandemic locked downs. one of the things, some folk of note as well being locked inside is not so much that they need a little more help in the kitchen, is that they weld struggle to boylen egg. in fact, cookbooks have been high in demand and for some they can't arrive soon enough. you know exactly who you are. anything else? while we're on the sub to old food, some of us have overdone it a bit. in fact, some of us more than a bit and exercise equipment has been asked for. in fact, i know i could stand to lose a little from around my middle. i think you look great. thank you, but fibbs all the path to the naughty list. keep that in mind. well,

what we have seen is people asking for fancy clothes because we do know that this pandemic will eventually end. and when it does, people want to be out there stretching less stuff, leaving behind the zoom cave and ditching the sweat pants. a merging like broo prefer butterflies even if so, the clothes they're having to ask for are in slightly larger sizes than previously . it's not just smart clothes people have been asking for though. is it quite correct? energy bills have sky rocketed, but so has demand for sweaters and warmth. got to keep away the winter chill and with climate change, the top of a lot of headlines. what we've also seen is a lot of people asking for a solar, something whether it's a watch, a backpack, or even a lawn mower. it is all really rather interesting. but even at this most magical

time of year, there is quite a lot of upset out there, hurt feelings, raised temperatures, really and all for a lot of brush. i do wish i'd seen more requests for books about improving social skills in a tend to try and not cause offense before things get even worse. but you know, most people asked full, what's that hope? hope. dear boy, hope that this is the last year that we have such disruptions and we can be all together with those that we love was about you, johnny did you write me a letter that just well actually since i knew i was coming to see you today, i i brought mine to give you in person minutes. that's all rather presumptuous. don't you think we have a po system here for a reason. her post office takes care of this anyway. give it,

give any activity. give it here. yes. yeah, that's or i'll be fine. i mean, i'll have to consult the list of course, but down the bottom is sunderland football club to win the league. i mean, i'm good, but i'm not america. um i got what about let me have a thing. got yes. will that work? oh, thank santa merry christmas visa. oh son say you remember? yes. just having a little for her merry christmas to you and a merry christmas to all of the girls and boys out there. what have a jew are? well, exactly what he said, merry christmas to you all. i've been peter all of the party here in lapland. yes. merry christmas. and if anybody watching.
