it is, brings the law in the country you're dealing with why rest in the major cybersecurity challenge is the sovereignty of laws that cyberspace has no borders. new sovereignty we ended up with, for example, the national health service in the u. k. the and a chest was completely wiped out from a ransomware attack. if you were coming in to a clinic, because you had a test or you had an operation, they can't find your records. they had to go back to pen and paper in hopes for a new future on dash in libya, elections has been cancelled up. the walls began parading round the capital tripoli, smoking face the country could once again descend into civil war. one half of adults in britain are too scared to express their real opinions openly for fear of falling victim to cancel culture. we got reaction to this on the streets of london. living in a coach now and bullying we used to have

a good could help with if you could have a debate and talk to you, or you could save it. and then you'd have to all of your cation people are frightened to waste, say what they fail in case there's a problem, was live in the jewish communities in belgium, bound to finally to ban on the ritual slaughter of animals. we put the issue for debate. i think animals deserve to be slaughtered humanely if you were really concerned about him or what but i do want to say, you know, maybe if you choose to become a beacon order vegetarian with christmas just around the corner now archie spoke to santa im so seriously to see how the pandemic has affected his present delivery plans even that this most magical time of year, there is quite a lot of upset out there, hurt feelings, re temperatures, really all for a lot of brush.

the other thing, i think the national great to have your company, the hopes of millions of libyans to choose a new direction for the country. it seems have been scuppered after elections on friday was scrapped. decision came after warlords started to parade around the capital. tripoli ratcheting up fears of a fresh civil war, resulting seekers donna for boats now delaying the vote could serve certain outside interests. this year promised to bring a tectonic change for libya, a chance to revitalize its political life, and hold in election. the 1st one since the whole decade of lawlessness and in fighting, but local militia is, had their opinion on this whole democracy. not on our watch said a bunch of warlords, as the internationally recognized governments fled into hiding. the u. s. is predictably disappointed, almost as if this om takeover was and led by the personal mob of sala body.

a militant, once celebrated armed and funded by the west. when both sides pursued a common goal, we will deny the regime arms cut off and supplies of cash, assist the opposition and work with other nations to hasten the day when gadhafi leaves power. the un greenlit nato's bombing campaign and bombs hailed down on libya. as per the un resolution sorties were meant to protect civilians. as per you and statistics. some 60 people actually perished underneath who bombs and some activists actually believe real figures to be much higher. but they did the job, we can cadaver forces enough for local militants to finish him off on the ground without any trial. oh,

when we came, we saw he died. but the triumph of democracy did not come. instead, libya a once prosperous and promising oil rich nation turned into a lucrative pi up for carving to be split amid goons and warlords. ah ah, ah,

hillary clinton did not laugh any more as she was watching an american consulate being rushed by a murderous mob, killing the ambassador. i asked myself, how could this happen? how could this happen in a country we helped liberate in a city? we helped save from destruction. those libyans who had nowhere to flee, had to survive in this hot mess of the international community's creation for a whole decade. this election, was there a dim light of hope at normality, misled in us for the elections? i think it's in the interest of the libyan people and libyans state to emerge out of this crisis after years of darkness and to avoid all problems and political disputes in the coming years. then upset our hash avenue, honestly, the libyan people with disappointed. there are $2800000.00 registered voters, then suddenly they manipulate their feelings and decide to cancel the elections.

libyan people reject this principle. they want these elections to start building a country that embraces every one. and the funny that in to her, i believe that postpone in the elections isn't in the interest of the libyan people . the commission has dashed to hopes of the been people because the delay men, small corruption. what does it instead, they got yet another chance to confirm for themselves that right now, whoever has more guns in libya, rules and any sort of western backed leadership will be serving only for as long as the warlords allow it to. obviously, the main culprit is nato, which destroyed a sovereign nation, the most prosperous nation in africa before the nato bombing. it converted libya into a failed state. the u. s. doesn't care about democracy either at home here. i don't think they care about in libya. i think what they care about is having

a compliant country that will allow the u as in other western countries to pillage its resources. i don't think they really care whether there are elections there or not in these. i certainly don't think they want elections that would result in a leader being elected that would protect libby as national sovereignty and resources. more than half of brits are too scared to say what they really think. can you polish found that they're worried about being canceled? speed by friends, colleagues, or even by their own family, members of the shadow, just dusty digs into what has got them so concerned can so coach her as silencing academics, a gagging public figures and wiping celebrities off the face of the planet. wait, can i really say that? who knows what? i'm not the only one biting my tongue as according to you got poll. majority of brakes 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 apartment 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 done a 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 the government actually. so i think people are frightened to always say what they feel in cases come back on. so the main she made you seem to have one. so a point of view of everything. and so if you say in different you get what you get quite a has to think there's a lot of things for the climate change cove age or whatever. there's no discussion that is the narrative and you of the group or wish cause you down has

a lot of issues where you fear fred, very careful about what you say, and that's not right now for 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 of your case and some people just don't want to argue, i want to hear the 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 device, the traditional a private to the apology. atonement forgiveness is no longer enough to warrant if they weren't accountability, social justice going, caught, and the more controversial the view on any 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 a social media merciless mob rule, but having some from taking the risk of being cancelled. like for instance,

j. k. rowling and her anti trust public position. war is peace, freedom of slavery, ignorance is trans. the biggest thing to vigil. hurrah! too. is a woman? well, 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 bought the community and the movie production team deleted her from scripts. meanwhile. * r h b yos. 20th anniversary. she was bought. not only that, a number of couldn't leaks class they really do exist, announced their 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 onto 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 meanwhile, team tough relished in the drama. if this is what being cancels is like i love it. the song 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 woods

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 dumbing. 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 well versus actress of prime time tally more and less then 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 really bella laugh. it's when you shouldn't be laughing. and so therefore all the things that are being cancelled out are, 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 weigh muslim and jewish organizations in belgium, of fighting against restrictions on the ritual slaughter of animals. now this is something that's been bonded to regions. the movers now being challenged in the european court of human rights, the music greens, he hopes that this court will make reason triumph over this emotionally charged case. the rule of law must not to come to the growing political and social pressure of populous movements that are waging a battle of symbols against vulnerable minorities across europe. or the restriction say animals must 1st be electrically stunned before they can be killed. the idea being to reduce the amount of suffering but some muslim cleric, sates, forbidden with a muslim and jewish organizations. st. stunning, actually inflicts more pain. previously, the european court of human rights has banked the method. the protection of the

welfare of animals is sent him beings, constitutes a legitimate, subjective of general interest are always spoke with the amateur fake. he's the chief of the case round down foundation. we also spoke to radios in columbus, 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, the muslim 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 camp down on the individual rights of muslims and jews . across europe and i think it's up to you right, that is challenged through the court system. i don't agree with this analysis on what the british people think. if there was a similar poll just for the united kingdom. it would you, nana mostly know unanimously but by vast majority said that animal should be

stunned. first, i think animals deserve to be slaughtered humanely. i understand the religious release 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 so the idea that any religion has a precedent or others is not back to you, correct. and actually in the u. k, we have that established church of england, which, you know, is, is our national faith and we live within the garden. i don't, i don't have and i actually celebrate the fact that we have

a strong christian community here in the u. k. need not country. we have a vibrant face as you said, to take this issue, but you know, if you were really concerned about anymore, well, an audio safety then maybe should choose to become a beacon or a vegetarian and not take it because you know, animals on stop. i would accept our folly army teacher as well, of course, killing at hannibal, bring some pain, but if there stunned, it reduces that. and that's what we need you yourself said the muslim community is split 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, far right are activism and far right. narrative is sweeping across the european

union and are now to be becoming mainstream and not being that it, this is another indication of that. and that way, 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 on the center accusations of double standards as our german sis, the channel is removed from f, forgetting his license abroad while from the broadcast is including a sin, and if a little that's apparently not a problem, we'll bring the full story very shortly. ah ah ah

ah ah ah. join me every 1st bit on the alec salmon? sure. well, i'll be speaking the guess of the world politics. sport business. i'm sure business . i'll see you then. mm. ah.

ah, welcome back. accusations of double standards of flying after germany pulled the plug analysis the channel r t d. the problem apparently was the station got his license from abroad. mother that mattered when a scene, an affiliate did the same mickey air and has to eat us just the hours after the launch of ortiz, 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 forties, it's not enough. the unauthorized started 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 channel broadcast to be on a license issued elsewhere. in this case, look some 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 fund for reconstruction and development, the european commission on the top investment fund. the k. k are headed by disgrace for my c. i a chief david portray us lobbied for it. the tragic irony of 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, minutes of yours have been exchanged for shares of affiliated companies, more than hundreds of millions of lawns, capital reductions, and increases in the kasia incredible miles and ultimately material payments of capital shares, which are extremely difficult to trace or verify. at times, levin is telling mag and serbia broadband, we're taking over by u. s. investment from key r, which controls billions of dollars in assets worldwide. so here we have a 2 channel is the both says the channels of big news outlets, both with transmission licenses issued in foreign countries. only one with the

knowledge from the european convention on trans frontier television, the other the brainchild 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 you know. but who, you know, the julian assad is appealing against a london court decision to extradite him to the united states. washington's pursuing the whistleblower of the disclosure classified dates about american military operations and l u. s. expedition requests that have been denied because of mental health concerns. it sent state side sounds good face thing. sentence to up to a 175 years in prison. on tv is on contact host chris had just spoke to us on his father, who said that his son is being tortured. toys been sort of the united kingdom is proxy for these intentions of the united states. that's in fact is wrong. they

actual torture is committed. why the institutions had come prosecuting service, the farm and colonial office, and the judiciary hideous mirror is a truth. the treatment of julian assange over these 30 years. that's your exact mirror. no. qualitative difference. only quantitative difference to the exposures, which is lakes and julian. chelsea, mannings. it. were you surprised that these press organizations that did publish this material then very swiftly turned on julian. i'm not at all surprised to wish to expel and ruin any voice which is contrary or actually truthful. disgrace and repugnant said his treatment. julian is spread right around

the world and the only way out for these people is to repair the situation. otherwise, that would be turned disgraced. and you can watch an interview in full on saturday on our p america or via the portable doc tv app farley with christmas and just one day away. santa claus is probably getting ready to deliver his presence. but with the pandemic still raging and energy prices soaring is wishlist this year might look very different to previous ones. one of these correspond, peter oliver tracked all the way to lapland, to hear from the man himself, what his little help is. have been loading onto the sleigh. ah, here it r t. 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 a special guest. looks like we're getting close. come on, let's see if he's home. santa thanks very much for joining me. actually. we've met once before, you know? ah yes, only i remember you. actually my name's my name's peter. yes. johnny. oh, hey. well, look, it's been another really hectic here. everybody around the world has not had any impact on the type of letters you've been receiving in. what people have been asking for the presence? well, i can't go into the ins and outs of what individual people have asked for you understand data protection and all that. but that haven't been some definite trends. like water, well, board games and video games,

pretty much anything that can entertain people in doors, chest, new york, send lots of chess. so when least people's i q, which will be improving somewhat. you're pandemic locked out. 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 well struggled some 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 best exercise equipment has been asked for. in fact, i know i could stand to lose a little from around my middle. i think look, great,

thank you. but films are the path to the naughty list. keep that in mind. well, what we have seen is people asking for fancy nodes, 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 leg due to her 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 skyrocketed, but so has demand for sweaters and we've got to keep away the winter chill and with climate change, the top of the 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 request form 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 who, whoa, whoa, whoa, dear boy, hope that this is the last year that we have such. and we can be all together with those that we love was about you, johnny did you write me a letter this year? why actually, since i knew i was coming to see you today, i brought mine to give you in person, but that's, that's all rather presumptuous. don't you think we have a host system here for

a reason home post office takes care of this anyway. give it, give it, give it. yeah. yes. yeah, that should all be fine. i mean i'll have to consult the list of course, but down the bottom is subtle and football club to win the league. i mean, i'm good, but i'm not america work. um, hang on. what about let me have a thank god yes. will that work? oh, thank santa mary, chris pizza. oh son say you remember? yes. just having a little for holding for merry christmas to you and a merry christmas do. all of the girls and boys out there, whatever age you are. well, exactly what he said merry christmas to you all. i've been peter, all of the party here in lapland. that brings you right up to that, watching archie, thanks to your company. last more new stories on our website, you can check them out if you want my heading to r t dot com. ah
