in 2013 my uncle, our family dog, my brother, who was 21 years old, myself and my father were all guy with rob. problem with wow. yeah. all right, and the good to play, right? yeah, yeah. maybe they'll actually, we're that help is more important than with so a new future dash didn't libya where elections has been cancelled after world notes began to parade around the capital, tripoli, spanking phase the country could once again descend into civil war. all that half of adults in britain are too scared to express their real opinions openly for fear of a falling victim to cancel culture reaction on the streets of london. living in a coach now of being used to have a good healthy democracy. good. how are we debating country where you could say gun,

then you'd have to all of your case, people are frightened to always say what they fail in case there's a a. so a muslim in jewish communities in belgium found to fight a ban on the ritual slow for valuables. to put that issue for debate, i think animals deserve to be slaughtered humanely if you were really excited. the body more well unable to take, you know, maybe should choose to become a vegan older vegetarian than with christmas just around the corner. now all t issue santa claus himself to see how the pandemic affected his present delivery plan. even at this most magical time of year, there is quite a lot of upset out there. her feeling rate, which is really an awful lot of bruship with

the very good afternoon. great. have you come to the you watch a r t international. the hopes of millions of libyans to choose a new direction for their country seems have been scuppered after elections on friday were scraps. decision came after ward started to parade round the capital tripoli ratcheting up phase of a fresh civil war. but as long as it gets done off reports, no delay not 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 malicious had their opinion on this whole democracy. not on our watch said a bunch of warlords, as the internationally recognized government fled into hiding. the u. s. his predictably disappointed, almost as if for this arm takeover wasn't led by the personal mob of sala

body. a militant one, celebrated armed and funded by the west, when both sides pursued a common goal, we will deny the regime arms cut off its supplies of cash, assist be 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 under nato 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. 2 when he 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. 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? miss berlin asked 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 of sarah, how, shaving, honestly, the libyan people were 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 everyone in this venue that him 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 believe been people because the delay means more corruption. instead they got yet another chance to confirm for themselves that right now, whoever has more guns in libya, rules and any sort of west and back to 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 it and libya, i think what they care about is having a compliant country that will allow the us and other western countries to pillage

its resources. i don't think they really care whether they're election there or not . in these. i certainly don't think they want elections that would result in a leader being elected that would protect libya's national sovereignty and resources. ah, seems more than half of brits a too scared to say what they really think and you pose found they are worried about being canceled by friends, colleagues or even by their own family members. what shall they had was dusty digs into what has got them so consent can how culture is silencing academics are cracking 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 great living in fear of being canceled. a 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, finish it, 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 case there's a come back home. and so the main street made you seem to have one point of view of everything. and so if you say in different, you get what you get caught, or has to think there's a lot of things for the climate, change, covey or whatever. there's no discussion that is the narrative. and you of the group or wish closure dance has a lot of issues where you fear fred,

very careful about what you say. and that's not right now, a good debate. and we used to have a good healthy democracy, good, healthy 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, don't want to hear the argument. i just want to shut you down. say no, you can't tell you that you don't allowed to say that i thought device. traditional a private to the apology attainment forgiveness is no longer enough to warrant if they weren't accountability. social justice point 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 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 meanest individual. hurrah! 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 up even by the world. she created the pot to community and the movie production team deleted her from scripts. meanwhile. * r h b o. the 20th anniversary, she was bored. 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 riley 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 is a fact. well, trans employ ees, an alloy at netflix stage to walk out forcing the c e o to publicly apologize when

you voted. meanwhile team tough renisha 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 for miss november schedule. it is very said that a great cultural institution, like the old vig 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 by brilliant and provoked if american committed they did, and civilization didn't collapse. 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 actress of primetime tele, more in 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 cancelled out, or i'm afraid the things that i've 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 and jewish organizations in belgium of fighting against restrictions on the ritual slaughter of animals. now this has been banned in 2 different regions as a move that is now being challenged in the european court of human rights. the was the 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 populace movements that are waging a battle of symbols against vulnerable minorities across europe. all the restrictions state that animals must 1st be electrically stun, before the can be killed, the idea being to reduce the level of suffering. but some muslim cleric say that this is forbidden and both muslim and jewish organizations say stunning, actually inflicts even more pain. previously,

the you being called of human rights had backed the method the protection of the welfare of animals is sent him beings, constitutes a legitimate objective of general interest. are always spoke with the hammock fake chief of the you case ramadan foundation and radio host and column as john gone, they shared with their thoughts on this controversy. what this is, is another example of attacks against my i naughty committee, in this case, the muslim a jewish community who is 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 unanimously not unanimously,

but by 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 so the idea that any religion has precedent or others is not fact. you correct? and actually in the u. k, we have that. it's not we should 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. and we have the vibrant faith as you said, 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 an animal, bring some pain, but if they're 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 tomorrow, 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 activism i'm far right. narrative is sweeping across the european union and that now tip is becoming mainstream and not being that 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 says come from the sour accusations of double standards of german says the channel is removed from after getting its license from a broad while for other broadcasters, including us in an affiliate, well, that's apparently not a problem. we'll explain all after the break. ah oh, when i was sure seemed wrong when all 3, just don't move any world yet to see how does the becomes the advocate

an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. when you, this is he thinks of tones and you think x is going to have in, you know, why happen instead of distinctive bringing responses engage that are relevant to you. how we experience reward and pleasure. while listening to some people looking at this is a kind of music, is it kind of choreographing of our expectations? so with ah,

welcome back. russia's foreign ministry is warning that ukraine is preparing a crusade against his own population. this is after care of announced that it would be significantly expanding his military budget for next year to get more on this from our senior correspondent rad guys there for good afternoon, soon, brad. not the suggestion. they're coming from the russian foreign ministry that any government would do anything to harm its own population in any way less extremely strong message to send out what are they basing? the other hello passions over ukraine, already red hot, a heating even further. it seems now russia has come out and said that you came by all appearances is preparing for war to resolve the conflicts in the, in the east of the country. the civil war there by military means they looker, they point to the budget, ukraine's budget, which has just gone up another 20 percent at preparations near the frontline, more and more ukrainian troops, sama tanks, artillery being station that another point of contention for russia is the

thousands and thousands of foreign troops instructors that are now on a permanent basis based in ukraine. they say there are 10000 foreign military personnel, as well as private military contractors in ukraine. 4000 of them american citizens were hearing the russians have also said that the ukraine has made it easier for them to get a euclidean citizen citizenship by simplified the process. because the means agreements for reference colon ukraine, and cooling all sides to withdraw and remove all 4 foreign forces on fighting assets from ukraine in order to achieve in order to achieve peace. but russia also says you credit at this point is now a forge for, for neo nazi militants because of the ideology that has been pushed forward by the government. whether whereby they are rewriting history. the foreign ministry says, as well as white washing knots is and nazi ideology,

night nazi history. and all of this results into sort of pilgrimage veneer nazi activists from around the world who travel to you credit, acquire battlefield experience and then a free to go anywhere else in the world. russia says that those foreign troops must leave. we also heard from a defense minutes to show you that they have registered the russian military and intelligence of registered more than a 100, more than a 100 american private military contractors on the front lines and in the conflict zone in east ukraine. and that they are not position of authority there. directing ukrainian forces trading ukrainian forces in defense minutes. the short we even said the american, the american public military contractors were perhaps preparing a provocation with the use of chemical weapons. we have since heard from the pentagon, which has denied these reports as well as the white house. but as you can see,

the battle of wills in the battle of rhetoric is certainly at a fever pitch of the great rad. thank you. my guess is reporting that with the latest another news, accusations of double standards have been flying up to germany, pulled the plug on our system channel s t d. the problem being apparently the station got his license abroad, not does not matter. when they see an affiliate decide nicky aaron explains just 2 hours after the launch of ortiz, bronze new german language channel. you. she blocked it, belly a week later, german regulators, 4th european satellite operator, utah sat to suspend it. despite all t holding a satellite transmission license and serbia giving the right to broadcast in germany under a council of your agreement, yet for german 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 and serbia does not have one for the e you. the program managers know that for sure, then most your take on this, this regional and local 12, our new platform and exclusive cnn affiliate. similar to r t d, this channel broadcasts infer, be on a license issued elsewhere in this case luxemburg. 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 a little bit for it. the tragic renewals 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 o. ready 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 on fine, not sure works for at least last 6 years, millions of years have been exchanged for shares of affiliated companies, organ hundreds of millions of lawns. cabral reductions and increases in the occasional incredible amounts and ultimately material payments of capital shears, which are extremely difficult to trace or verify. at the times, levin is tele mate, and serbia's broadband were taken over by u. s. and mess one from key key r, 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 is issued in foreign countries. only one with the knowledge from the european convention on trans frontier, television, the other, the brain shot of some questionable stakeholders. one barely lasts a week, yet the other is celebrating 7 years on the air showing that sometimes it's not what do you know? but who, you know, i'm follow this hour with christmas just the day where it's getting exciting. now santa must be preparing to deliver his presence, but things are different. this time around the pandemic, raging energy prices are soaring. his wish list there must be pretty different this year and he's correspond, peter oliver went to find out he checked all the way to lapland, to speak to the man himself, and find out what sounded. little helpers have been putting on the sleigh blue here at our peak. 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 told santa thanks very much for joining me. actually. we've met once before, you know? ah, yes and johnny. i remember you actually my name's my name's peter. yes, johnny, who, who? hey. well, look, it's been a nova 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 for presents. 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 . chess, you send lots of chess, so at least people's i, q will be improving somewhat during 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 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 the 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 knitter from around my middle. i think you look great. thank you, but fibbs are the path to the naughtiest. 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 get chima sweat pants. emerging like do prefer butterflies even if so, the clothes they're having to ask for 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 with so has demand for sweaters and warmth. 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 fundraising,

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. good. you know, most people asked, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, dear boy, hope that this is the last year. did 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 this year? well, actually since i knew i was coming to see you today,
