9:00 am
i this financial survival guide, daisy bless, learn about me aloud. let's say i'm it for like and your great firm grief on banks of the site. 9 wall street prod, thank you for helping with enjoy. that's right. they'll have it that way. ah, this i was top headlines here. what are teeth hopes for a new future offer? a decade of turmoil dashed in libya where elections have now been cancelled off the war loads began. parading around the capital, tripoli over a half of adults in britain, a too scared to express their real opinions openly. believe it or not, they're afraid of falling victim to counsel culture. so we hit the streets of london to get reaction. living in a coach now and bullying, we used to have a good healthy democracy. good. how are we to write and talk through where you
9:01 am
could save it and then you'd have to all go, okay, so people are frightened to always say what they fail in case there's a whole so most of them on jewish communities in belgium, out of fight have been on the ritual slaughter of animals. so we put the whole issue up for debate. i think animals deserve to be sorted humanely. if you were really concerned about the mobile plan, i will take you then, maybe if you choose to become a beacon or they get to it. also in the program, moscow sounds, the allowable ukraine's beefed up military budget for next year. and the presence of a large contingent of foreign force is right now on ukrainian soil. ultimately warning that he has planning a crusade in the east with
9:02 am
worldwide headlines lie from slightly different, big into national, with just down the hall from our old studio. that's getting a nip and talking to a botox to our new home for now. you like it as much as we do. now the hopes of millions of libyans to choose a new direction for that country have been scuppered after elections on friday was scrapped. that assertion came off, the warlord started parading around the capital. tripoli ultimately rationing up fears of a fresh civil war. however, a key point here i thought is eager to dine off. now reports delaying. the vote could actually serve certain outside interests this year promised to bring a tonic change for libya, a chance to revitalize its political life and hold in the election. the 1st one since a whole decade of lawlessness and in fighting, but local militia has 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
9:03 am
predictably disappointed, almost as if this om takeover was and 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 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 hail 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,
9:04 am
9:05 am
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 selection was there a dim light of hope at normality, miss berlin as to the elections? i think it's in the interest of the libyan people and libyans state to emerge out to this crisis after years of darkness, and to avoid all problems and political disputes in the coming years. then of sarah hash avenue, honestly, the libyan people were disappointed. there are $2800000.00 registered voters, and suddenly they manipulate their feelings and decide to cancel the elections.
9:06 am
libyan people reject this principle. they want these elections to stop building a country that embrace is everyone in this venue 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 really been people because the layman's more corruption. what does it instead 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 us doesn't care about democracy either at home here. i don't
9:07 am
think they care about it in libby, 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 there are election there or not. in the 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, that was hard to believe, or maybe it's not apparently over half of brits, the to scare to say what they really think it's about a brand new poll that found they're worried about being canceled, be by friends, colleagues, or even their own family. well, as he is a shot here it was dr. digs into what scott, people so concerned cancel culture 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 being canceled. the majority of britons 57 percent,
9:08 am
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 home. and so the main street made you seem to have one sort of point of view of everything. and so if you say from different, you get what you get caught, or has to think there's
9:09 am
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 we should cause you down a lot of issues where you fear very careful about what you say and that's not right now. it's 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 ever argument. they just want to shut you down and say, no, you can't tell you that you don't allow to say that i thought device conditional a prior to the apology. atonement forgiveness is no longer enough to warrant if they weren't accountability. social justice point 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
9:10 am
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 auntie trump public position. war is peace, freedom of slavery, ignorance is trans. the biggest thing to vigil. 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 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 that tough. that's a trans exclusionary radical feminist. but there are others in have potty school of thought. chicky raleigh wrote all the harry potter books by herself, and they canceled her because she said gender was
9:11 am
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 ah 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 cancelled 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
9:12 am
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 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 dunning 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 telling more and let been thinks even comedy is now on the verge of being cancelled. it's a bit like laughter in church. something has to be forbidden to make you really
9:13 am
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 slippery slope. as let's face it. we've all upset someone somewhere haven't really muslim and jewish organizations in belgium and our fighting against restrictions on the ritual slaughter of animals which has been banned in the countries to most populous regions. it's a move this now being challenged. however, in the european court of human rights, the queen, the hopes that the court will, might reason triumph over this emotionally charles case. the rule of law must not come to the growing political and social pressure of popular movements that are waging a battle of symbols against vulnerable minorities across europe. the restriction is
9:14 am
to say that animals must 1st be electrically stunned before they're killed. it's argued doing so reduces suffering, but some muslim cleric say that's forbidden and with both is law may, can jewish organizations saying stunning, actually inflicts more pain? previously, the european court of human rights rule that animal well being is a priority. the protection of the welfare of animals is sent him beings, constitutes a legitimate, subjective of general interest. we heard from a 100 shaft over the ramadan foundation in the u. k. but also with radio host and colonist john gore. and they both share thoughts on 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 anymore, well, 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,
9:15 am
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. go religion trumps any law. we are all opera operating within the,
9:16 am
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. 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,
9:17 am
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. all right, so have you heard the program we're about to enter the 2nd half of it today. a russian caught imposes a record fine on approval of failure to delete band content. we'll be discussing that with a guest. we're going live in just a moment. a
9:18 am
what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race, movies on offense, very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk more when i want shown thing wrong. when i just don't hold any world yet to shape out is the, becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground.
9:19 am
with awe happy with us today for the program so far. the russian foreign ministry is accused ukraine are preparing a crusade against his own population. that's off the key of announced a serge and military spending. i discussed all of it a short time ago with our senior correspondent, his odds. he's more against the f. well, this is the latest development in, in a sue of events that have read a lead russia to believe that ukraine is indeed planning a military solution, an invasion the troublesome for them. eastern ukraine region, the conflict region, which has stood up against caves. caves rule moscow believes now that this is the
9:20 am
of the part the kid has chosen that they're going to invade. they're building up forces on the periphery conflict light, and that they are planning with this latest boost, a military spending 20 percent of the time when you crane is experiencing difficulties keeping its population warm this winter. moreover, russia is especially concerned with thousands and thousands of foreign troops for private military contractors as well as instructors who are on a permanent basis now stationed in ukraine 10000 and all 4000 of them. american citizens, he dislike. i think that was all this took a foreign service man being there to participate and quote, measures to ensure national security and defense. and another quote to deter russian military aggression is a lie. these instructors are simply engaged in direct incitement and directly controlling the events that are unfolding before our eyes. ukrainian authorities
9:21 am
have also made it easier for foreign nationals get ukrainian citizenship, which, which some believe is an effort to circumvent that to bypass the minsk agreements which are called on all sides, evolved in the conflict in east ukraine. to remove this, harmon, remove foreign fighters from the conflict. so there's also a lot of concern among russian authorities, especially foreign ministry, about the neal nazi sympathies among ukrainian or fighters among the foreign fighters, the, to flock to ukraine. they believed that they could gain battlefield experience an export. they're both ideology experienced elsewhere. there's also a lot of concern about the of the violence situation and upsurge in the, in violence that the u. s. c has detected in the area. 7000 violations would be detected according to russian for ministry over the past 2 weeks. that is roughly an explosion every 3 minutes they say, which is 5 times more violations,
9:22 am
5 times more violence than was detected at this time december last year. vladimir putin also speaking earlier regarding the situation in ukraine, said that there is tremendous a tremendous roof, a concern, and that russia truly fears war breaking out in east and you credit bill number it way, knowing them now they're saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, are impression is that they could be preparing a 3rd military operation and a warning us in advance. don't interfere, don't protect those people. and if you do, then there will be such and such new sanctions. maybe that's what they're planning or as an impertinent defense minister showed who had both previous previously said that there are hundreds of thousands, millions of ethnic russians in ukraine in the conflict so that russia would have no choice but to protect it. if worst comes to worst, they hope, of course, the bloodshed can be avoided, that all sides will return to the negotiation table. and the means agreements will
9:23 am
be implemented. but side so far are worrying. we had just several days ago from the russian defense ministry that they have information about more than a 100 american citizens who are in the front lot on the front lines in the trenches, in east ukraine, advising and directing ukrainian forces there preparing perhaps even a provocation. with the use of chemical weapons, even we have heard comments from the pentagon in the white house. again, categorically denying those claims. nevertheless, it does go to show how, how hot the situation is, have tents. the situation is how hot passions off and how much mistrust there is. it is all the international. could i have your company to de accusations of double standards of flying off in germany, pull the plug on our system channel r t d. the problem apparently was the station got his license abroad. not that that
9:24 am
mattered when a cnn affiliate did the same thing. he's nicky aaron big's a bit deeper the shed some light on this. just the hours after the launch of ortiz, bronze, new german language channel, you, she blocked it, belly a week later, german regulators for the 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 in 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 24 news platform and exclusive cnn affiliate. similar to r t d. this channel broadcasts in serbia on a license issued elsewhere,
9:25 am
in this case, look from the 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 funding 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, lobbied forward. the tragic irony portray is the man who took part in the military destruction of serbia in the 90s. now setting up the media that have not been lost, don't observe, is 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
9:26 am
a bid to hide the original owners and find national networks for at least last 6 years. minutes 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 slip in his telemark and serbia's broadband were taken over by u. s. investment firm key key r, which controls billions of dollars in assets worldwide. so here we have a 2 channels. the both says the 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 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
9:27 am
do you know? but who, you know, a moscow called has slapped the google with a 98000000 dollar fine for failure to remove content that is banned under russian law. by the decision of the court, google was found guilty of an administrative offense. a punishment was impose in the form of an administrative fine of 7200000000 roubles. it is the largest fine ever imposed on an i t company here in russia. the court found on google fail to delete more than $2600.00 illegal items. include violent and extremist content calls for unauthorized demonstrations on the promotion of narcotics. overall, the court has reviewed 16 cases against the us tech giant since the start of this year. and google has said it will study the ruling and consider what to do next or less. learn more about this now and cross live to build new privacy activist and a technology expert. joining us live her on our tea. great to see you today. do you
9:28 am
expect google to comply with the ruling and remove everything this band on the russian law? i expect google to make an effort to do so and possibly provide a number of excuses for the problems that it's having. i think you need to have some sympathy for google because the sheer volume of stuff on the web means that it is a very fabulous task. and it has a real difficulty because, and there is content appearing all the time. it's the acceptable where it is. flags up to google, the content needs removing the possibly should either remove it or borrow it from being seen in certain countries. but beyond that, things are never going to be perfect. but a fine of 98000000 is, is hardly going to really make not much of a difference to well pennies. i'm just gonna ask you about this. apparently, google's revenue last year was more than a $180000000000.00 as you were saying,
9:29 am
a fine of a size, a $100000000.00. i mean, it is really going to provide much of a deterrent, won't to put it this way. facebook in it's an annual results was shown to of set aside something like $5000000000.00 for fines alone, for these large technology giants. paying fines is become a way to in business sort of business as usual for them. so they, so totally accept that. there's a limit that they can do with their resources to either willingly or intentionally comply with these fines. obviously there are certain times all night aunt actually willing to try even try and help, but they accept the fines adjuster. something's gonna happen and they put it side vast sums. i think 98000000 isn't really going to touch the site. bill tech giants like google have often argue that they're not responsible for the content that they host. they're merely providing a platform. what's your view?
9:30 am
i think that approach had some sympathy early on, but increasingly these companies are being expected to moderates a lot of the content. and the moment the organizations like twitter ban on the president of the united states or other people on our platforms. we're reaching a point where they are actually making editorial interventions and is the speeds and the extent to which they're able to make these interventions that is going to be critical that needs their resources, not the game with getting better, but not all the regulators are up to them, there are some regulators such as the regulator and ireland that appears to be quite complicit with these tech jobs. are bill new privacy activist and technology expo joining us live here in art international. thanks so much for joining us now. have a very merry christmas thank you for joining us as well. it's half past 5 late afternoon here in moscow. plenty more story still to come when we return that.
