cycle alone with members of your household please, please, please, please continue to fight with justin to russia must not be allowed in german i don't want to come and leave it to show up today out innovation. and the yes actually ended at the in mrs. guns until sunday. i hope that lines, but it's our live on our t hopes for a new future. after a decade of turmoil dashed in libya where elections had been cancelled off. the war lords began for writing around the capital. tripoli over a half of adults in britain, a too scared to express their real opinion, openly for fear of falling victim to that of the council culture. so we hit the streets of the capitol, the gauge reaction to the point of being in

a coach now of bullying. we used to have a good healthy democracy. good. how we didn't even talk to you, or you could say that and then you'd have to all your case and people are frightened to always say what they fail in cases. and then also moscow sounds. the alarm over ukraine's beefed up military budget for next year. but also the presence of a large contingent of foreign fighters on ukrainian soil. moscow saying kiev is finding a crusade the east with no, i counted down the hour to christmas, not long left to go. welcome to your friday christmas eve headlines right here on out to you international. will the hopes of millions of libyans to choose a new direction for their country have been sculptured after elections on friday? we're just scrapped now. that decision came off to war. lord started parading all

around the capital tripoli some saying they were ratcheting up phase of a fresh civil war. however, and here's a key point. dorothy is eager to dine off now, reports delaying the vote could very well 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 the 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 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 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 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 pie 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 selection, 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 hash avenue, 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 every one law. then this money 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 the been people because the delay means more corruption. here. 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 us doesn't care about democracy either a whole here. i don't think they care about it in libya. i think what they care about is having a comply in country that will allow the us and other western countries to pillage in 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. so according to a new survey, over half of brit, so too scared to say, well, they really think the new polls found they're worried about being cancelled to be by friends, colleagues, or even their own family ortiz shot. it was actually now taking a closer look big into what scott, some people so worked up can. so culture is silencing academics a gagging public figures and wiping celebrities off the face of the planet. wait, can i really say that? who knows? but i'm not the only one biting my tongue as, according to you got poll, majority of great living in fear of well 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 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 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 a government as that actually. so i think people are frightened to always say what they feel in case there's a come home. and so the main, she may just seem to have one sort of 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, the climate change code age 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 fred, very careful about what you say and not right now, a 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, you phone 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 merchant smoke rule. but i have 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 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 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 baud. not only that a number of couldn't leaks tasks they really do exist, announced their rebranding to distance themselves away from j. k. routing that 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 employ. he's an 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 saga. 4 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 said that a great cultural institutions 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 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?

the russian, no foreign ministry who's accused ukraine or preparing a crusade against its own population. that's off the key of an else, a surgeon military spending. i discussed all of this a short time ago with our senior correspondent, laura does df. well, this is the latest development in, in a slew of events that have read are lead russia to believe that you create is indeed planning a military solution. an invasion the troublesome for them east that ukraine region, the conflict region. and they are planning with this latest boost, the military spending 20 percent of the time when ukraine is experiencing difficulties keeping its population warmth this winter. moreover, russia is especially concerned with the thousands and thousands of foreign troops for private military contractors, as well as instructors who are on a permanent basis thou stationed in ukraine 10000 and all 4000 of them american

citizens, fetus law. i think that was all this talk of foreign service men being there to participate and quote, measures to show a national security and defense, and another qual to deter, rushed military aggression is a lie. these instructors are simply engaged in direct incitement and directly controlling the events that unfolding before our eyes. ukrainian authorities 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 call and all sides evolved to the conflict in these 2 grade. to remove this arm and remove foreign fighters from the conflict. so let me putin also speaking earlier regarding the situation in you grade, said that there is tremendous a tremendous roof, a concern, and that russia truly fears war breaking out in these the new credit to be and i'm good at right now right now, now they are saying, woo,

woo hoo it wrong. our impression is that they could harring a 3rd military operation really should a warning us in advance. don't interfere. she don't protect those people. and if you do, then there will be such and such near sanctions. maybe that's what they're planning or that and put, lend defense minutes to show 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 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 ke agreement will be implemented. but aside so far, worrying her 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 tense. the situation is how hot passions are and how much mistrust. there is roughly hopping to the program here without international still to come are the 2nd block. jews and muslims are challenging a belgian ban on religious butchering practices. we'll hear from both sides of the debate and a mix of the rest of your worldwide headlines. we are back in just a ah

ah, when you listen to a sequence of tone, you think acts is going to happen. you know, why happened? said distinctive bringing response is engage that are relevant to you, how we experience reward and pleasure, while listening to some people lucky. this is a kind of on that music. is it kind of choreographing of our expectations?

ah, it is good to have you with us today for the program on our t. so muslim and jewish organizations in belgium, of fighting against restrictions on this. the ritual slaughter of animals which has been banned in the countries to most populous regions. it's moved is now being challenged on the european court of human rights. the was the queen's, he hopes that this quote will, might reason triumph over this emotionally chose case. the rule of law must not succumb to the growing political and social pressure populace movements that are waging a battle of symbols against vulnerable minorities across europe. the restrictions say that animals must 1st be electrically stunned before they're killed. it's argued doing so reduces their suffering. but some muslim clerics say that's forbidden and with both islamic and jewish organizations saying stunning, actually inflicts more pain to the animal. but previously the european court of

human rights had rule, but animal wellbeing 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 sha freak of the ramadan foundation and the u. k, but also a radio host and colonist john gone. and they said, well, they should have thoughts on, on this issue what this is is another example of. busy 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 can be in the europe in europe using this as an excuse to come 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 live in. i'm so the idea that any religion has a precedent or others is not factual. 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 that we have a strong christian community here in the u. k. not country. and we have the vibrant face as you started 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 of a champion and not take it because, you know, full stop. i would accept that fully meet the teacher as well. of course, kidding and 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 splits 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 ban this. because each crew, i've always believed that, you know, we've got to respect faith and within the confines of the law that we live. and i

just feel that this is been done in a climate where, you know, right. i activism, i'm file right now sweeping across the european union. i'm not to be speaking the mainstream. i'm not being that. this is another indication of thought. when you see the jewish community and the muslim community on the same side standing together that shows you. we put a tech issue it has all the international regulators in germany are apparently ready to flout international treaties in the war against our german sister channel . our t. d at the outlet. oh god, it's broadcast license in serbia, which like germany is part of the european convention of trans frontier television . it's something berlin seems to have forgotten about it, thought his mickey aaron, now investigate just hours after the launch of artes, bronze, new german language channel. you cheap, blocked it, belly

a week later. german regulators force european satellite operator, utah sat, who suspended 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 news platform and exclusive cnn affiliate. similar to r t d e. there's china broadcasts in serbia on a license issued elsewhere in this case look from berg. 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 a little bit for it. 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 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 a bit to hide the original owners and find national networks 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 times, levine is telemachus and serbia's broadband were taken over by u. s. investment firm key, 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 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 do you know? but who, you know moscow court has slapped google with a $98000000.00 fine for failure to remove content this band on the national. it is

or the largest penalty ever imposed on an i t company. aaron, russia by the decision of the court. google was found guilty of an administrative offense. a punishment was imposed in the form of an administrative fine of 7200000000 roubles. facebook has been given a small, a fine of $27000000.00 for the same violation. the court found that the 2 u. s. tech giants fail to delete thousands of legal items. they include violent and extremist content at the promotion of narcotics as well. oh, google has said it will study the ruling on consider is next step. or facebook's parent company matter has not yet commented, or we discussed the story with our privacy activist and technology expert bill, me fine of $98000000.00 is, is hardly going to really make not much of a difference to google. i expect google to possibly provide a number excuses for the problems that it's having. the sheer volume of stuff on the web means that it is a very fabulous task. and it has

a real difficulty because there is content appearing all the time. these companies are being expected to moderate a lot of the content. and the moment the organizations like twitter ban, i'm 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 is going to be critical. they need to their results. it's not the game we're getting back towards it, but not all the regulators are up to go. there are some regulators such as the regulator and ireland that appears to be quite complicit with these tech jobs or wrapping up a huge cost with this our here live from moscow one r t international. thank you very much for well, spending some time with us here on this friday christmas eve 2021. we appreciated saskia totally here at the desk. in half an hour's time with more of your wealth white headlines. thank you for joining us.
