a day of frustration and chaos with thousands of would be travelers who instead of spending christmas with their friends and family of been refused to fly what's more, passengers are complaining. they're only allowed to check in 2 hours before departure. the result, people missing slice and planes being delayed. it comes as of tons of cancels a dozen long distance flights and for spins popular connections, g to low demand and pilots, falling sick. some 33000 connections have been canceled. that if we temp planned flight and b, lufthansa chief was angry at the european union, he says that the company would have to carry out a 2000 empty flights to follow e rule and not to move landing slots at various airports. while climate friendly exemptions were found in almost all other parts of the world during the time of the

pandemic, the e u does not allow this in the same way that harms the climate and is exactly the opposite of what the commission wants to achieve. meanwhile, these bodies to, for those who are planning the holidays across the atlantic, the 2 biggest american airlines, delta and united, have cancelled around $200.00 flights according to the carriers. the reason is a spike in only concave bases and to quote, an exhaustion of options. and resources, this follows a call to the us authorities by the delta t o who off to cut quarantine for fully vaccinated people to 5 days from the current. tim, these developments come several months after the fi. oh, of another american eylandt. southwest ordered his employees to be fully vaccinated against by the same. let's take a look at how this happened several months ago. let

me choose choose the. i've never been in favor of corporation is imposing and that kind of a mandate executive order from president biden mandates it all federal employees. and then all federal contractors have to have a mandate info vaccine in place by december the 8th. so we're working through that

. ah, ah, in the hopes of millions of libyans to choose any direction for the country have been shattered after elections on friday were cooled off. that decision came off the world, started for rating round the capital tripoli raising fears of another civil war. with ot, if he goes down off reports, delaying the vote could serve certain outside interest 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 a whole decade of lawlessness and in fighting. but local militias 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 us, his predictably disappointed, almost as if for this arm 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 at supplies of cash, assist be opposition, and work with other nations to hasten the bay. 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 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. 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 libyan 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, 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 stop building

a country that embraces every one. wanted him to her, i believe that postponing 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 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 they're 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, one of the richest man or 2nd a swipe at c, n n. it an entity tesla boss. must joke. see you not for birth enough to pay on the needs that were you know, what was it you said the the requirement for being a cnn georgiana is, are you, are you pervert voter to know about queer follows a series of control this e c n n anchor chris chroma was recently fun for lying about helping out his brother then governor of new york. both siblings have been accused of sexual misconduct and other sienna presented online and has been sued for sexually

assaulting a man and a bar claim he denies. and most recently produces john griffin was charged with sex problems involving children. and we spoke with the legal and media analyst, lanelle. he said he must quit, was actually genuine condemnation of the news channel. no, it's not a joke and bad taste. it's the truth about a network in bad taste. let's go back to what chris cuomo did. not only was he providing strategy to his brother, but he was working with his governor staff, one in particular. and he was talking about basically, how they could celine besmirch in, impede the reputation of those women who might be making these allegations of the 1st place. so now this transcends strategy sessions from going and deliberately targeting and the conspiracy to impugn the integrity of women who dared complain about untoward behavior. this is not at all consistent. so one thing i wanna just explain though,

think of 2022 brings something to bear along with the death and the destruction and the, the, the internment of, of, of, or in terms of i should say of cnn is the fact that what is really news today is not what people think. sometimes a satirical is more, is more on point now as far as see and n, he's absolutely correct. so, prediction year to be to be waxing vatike in python and it's going to be all over for that wretched news organization before you know it. because everything that mr . musk said is true. regulators in germany, all pouty ready to flout international treaties and the war on our german says the channel are to be the outlet. cigarettes broadcast license in serbia, which like germany, is part of the european convention of trans frontier television. that something rollin seems to have forgotten nikki. iron has more just the hours after the launch

of artes brands, new german language channel, you choose blocked it, belly a week later. german regulators forth, european satellite operator, utah sat to suspend it. 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 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 more your take on this, this regional and local news platform and exclusive cnn affiliate. similar to r t d, there's china broadcasts in serbia 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, 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 iranian portray is the man who took part in the military destruction of serbia in the 90s. now setting up media that have not been lost on observers, more disturbing, still, the man now invested in bringing objective information to the people. in 2010, recruited the 1st army of internet trolls. of course k k already controls a large number of internet companies. and there are other things worth a 2nd look like the alleged lack of transparency investigations into k k all have found a lot of goes to offshore companies mushrooming and tax havens and a bit to hide the original owners and find national networks for at least last 6

years, millions of 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 tele mac, 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 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? we spoke with serbian filmmaker, miracle stood sam. he danced the german regulator actor alone and taking

r t d e off air. this is a reaching the, also the t, all the talk of what it means because at the moment when the technology goes all the way around, anywhere you don't have the borders are getting a one of the stations that he'd love to see. because of it's documentary programs because of a life correctly reporting from different parts of the world. and i'm going to treat germany cannot stand it. and i'm just afraid that this is not just the autonomous, a german decision. i think this is much higher scale or that is just thought that you years ago for breast does not exist anymore. everything is transferred to ideology. you suffer because you don't polish reality. they want the george to be ally, ally to be

a true. this is why semester and the problem for them is that you are opening the windows to which we can see what is the real life of the people. what is the real mission of the people against elite fighting that they have to go forward? you have to find the ways to, to, to, to, to go forward because as much as they press you, you will have a more and more audio still to come. this al rush is sounding in alma, ukraine's military spending supply chain lock intentions in the east of the country . story and more popular break ah ah

ah . when you listen to a sequence of tones and you think acts is going to happen. you know, why happen said distinctive bringing responses and gauge that are relevant to you, how we experience, reward, and pleasure. well, listening to some people looking, this is a kind of a kind of choreographing of our expectations. so a

will come back a more than a half of people in the u. k. are too scared to say what they really think. and you poll, found the word about being canceled by friends, colleagues, or even throwed family ortiz. shoddy ad was dashti, has the story. counsel culture is silencing academics a gagging public figures and wiping celebrities off the face of the planet. white can't really say that. who knows? but not the only one biting my tongue according to you got poll. majority of brits are living in fear of well being canceled. the majority of britons 57 percent say they have at least sometimes found themselves stopping themselves from expressing their political or social views for fear of judgment or negative responses from others. the idea or a person can be cancelled, or in other words, blocked from having a platform is happening to hundreds with a very similar cycle. you say something offensive receive a public backlash,

and suddenly you're gone done a finish cancelled by by. but it's only happening to big names and faces, but people like you and me at work on line on dates and even at home. i think we're living in a coach now of bullying, bullying in workplaces a government that actually so i think people are frightened to always say what they feel in case there's a come back home. and so the main she may just seem to have one. so a point of view of everything and so if you say in different you get what you get caught or has to think there's a lot of things for the climate change code age or whatever. there is 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. we have a debate in this 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 allow to say that i thought device. the traditional approach to the apology, atonement forgiveness is no longer enough to warrant if they weren't accountability, social justice boycott. and the more controversial the view on any topic like race, immigration breck, that the more you should keep your thought, 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 his social media, merciless mob rule. but i have 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 meanest individual horrid to is a woman. oh, that wasn't her only comment. there's been plenty more. and as

a result, she's been wiped off the face of the earth even by the world. she created the pot to community and the movie production team deleted her from scripts. meanwhile, h b o is 20th anniversary. she was baud. not only that, a number of quidditch leaks tasks they really do exist announced that 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 on tune, turf gender as a fact. well, trans employees and allies at netflix stage to walk out forcing the c e o to publicly apologize when you ah

ah. meanwhile team tough relished in the drama if this is what being cancels is like i love it. the song. 4 continues as monty python star, terry gilliam got canceled for endorsing chapels, netflix special shortly after the old vic right here in london, announcer pulling his shirt into the woods for miss 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 provocative 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 last. 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 weigh

mosca, core to slop google with a $98000000.00 fine for failure to remove content that spans on the rushes law. 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 smaller sign of $27000000.00 for the same violation. that was to court, found that the to us tech john failed to lead almost $5000.00 illegal items, including violence, annex stream with content in the rollings, the penalties were part of based on corporate turnover and google's fine is the largest ever imposed on the company in russia, in, while facebook's parent company matter has given its reaction, saying the ruling will back file and russian companies in international course and google us that it will consider the ruling and decide on its next steps. we discuss . do you see with pros, the activist and technology experts build new fine of 98000000?

this 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 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 is going to be critical. they need their results. it's not the game we're getting better, but not all the regulators are off to them. there are some regulators such as the regulator and ireland that appears to be quite complicit with the st. johns

and the russian for ministries accused a crane of preparing a crusade against its own population. that's the key of an out the surgeon mitre spending on his moral garcia for this for, for well, this is the latest development in, in a sue of events that have read are lead russia to believe that ukraine is indeed planning a military solution, an invasion. the troublesome for them, easton ukraine region, the conflict region, and that they are planning with this latest boost, the military spending 20 percent of the time when ukraine is experiencing difficulties keeping its population warm this winter. moreover, russia is especially concerned with the thousands and thousands of foreign troops, far 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 talk for in service men being there to participate and quote, measures to ensure national security and defense. and another quote to deter, rush, 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 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 to the conflicts in east ukraine. to remove this, harmon, remove foreign fighters from the conflict. so 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 these the new credit to be a number that way, knowing that now they are 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 the include when 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, the dual sides will return to the negotiation table and the means agreement will be implemented. but side so far are worrying. we heard 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 law on the front lines in the trenches in east you, craig, advising and directing ukrainian forces. they're preparing perhaps even

a provocation with the use of chemical weapons. even we have heard comments from the pentagon and 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 fun out all about cyber crime and avoid being the victim of hacking. may not, you know, commentaries i am at that. so in a few moments time, we're back in 30 minutes with all of our latest to join us again been ah, so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it please. even from taishan, let it be an arms race is on authentic, very dramatic and development only personally and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time.
