security challenge is the sovereignty of laws that cyberspace has no borders. new sovereignty we ended up with, for example, the national health service in the u. k. the and a chest was completely wiped out from a ransomware attack. if you are coming into a clinic, because you had a test or you had an operation, they can't find your records. they had to go back to pen and paper with millions of people, vice christmas season travel chaos. as cobit outbreaks for sale on the scrap their flights leading, we will stranded at airport hopes for a new feature offer a decade of term oil dash in libya for elections has been cancelled off. the walls began to writing around the capital tripling. and we speak with award winning service filmmaker, amy crow, students about press freedom and germany decision to block our system. shuttle r t. you suffer because you don't polish really. those who

a day of frustration and chaos with thousands of would be travellers who instead of spending christmas with their friends and family, are being 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 temper planned flight and b, lufthansa chief is angry at the european union. he says that the company would have to carry out a 2000 in t flights to follow e rule and not to move landing fluffs 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, this body is king 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 on the con cases and to quote, an exhaustion of options and resources. this one is a call to the us authorities by the delta v 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 find the same. let's take a look at how this happened several months ago. in

the, in the news . i've never been in favor of corporations imposing in that kind of a mandate executive order from pres, inviting, mandates it all federal employees. and then all federal contractors have to have a mandate invoice vaccine in place by december the 8th. so we're working through that. ah

ah, in the hopes of millions of libyans to choose a new direction for the country have been shattered after elections on friday were cooled off. the fishing came off the walls began parading round the capital triple a raising fears of another civil war. but his, aunty, he goes off reports the laying the vote could serve certain outside interests this year, promised to bring a tectonic change for libya, a chance to revitalize its political life and hold an 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 us is predictably disappointed, almost as of this armed 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 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, 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. 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 communities 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 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, and 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 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 the lead. 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 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 elections there or not. in the i certainly don't think they want elections that would result in a leader being elected that would protect libby is national, sovereignty and resources. ah, the world's richest man as taken on a parent smoke, cnn and entity, tesla basil. aloft jokes he is not perverted enough to appear on the news channel. what was it you said the? the requirement for being a cnn georgiana is, are you, are, you pervert not for voter to know will not quit, follows a series of controversies and cnn. and chris cuomo was recently fun for long about helping out his brother then governor of new york. both siblings have been accused of sexual misconduct. another fear and presented don lemond has been accused of has ensued while sexually assaulting a man in

a ball. something he denies and most recently produce. a young griffin was charged with such crimes involving children who spoke with a media and legal kindness. lionel he said he must quit, was actually genuine condemnation of the news show. 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 c and n, he's absolutely correct. so prediction here to be to be waxing vatike in python and it's going to be over for that wretched news organization before you know it. because everything that mr. musk said is true, regulators in germany are apparently ready to flout international treaties in their war. all german says the shuttle r t d. now go to forecasts license in serbia, which like germany is part of the european convention of trans frontier television . something brought in seems of forgotten nicky iron investigate. just the hours

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

years, millions of your have been exchanged for shares of ophelia. the companies were than hundreds of millions of lawns, capital reductions and increases in the occasional incredible amounts and ultimately material payments of capital shares, which are extremely difficult to trace or verify. at the times, levine is tele met, 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 shot of some questionable stakeholders. one barely last week, yet the other is celebrating 7 years on the f saying that sometimes is not. what do you know? but who you know? we spoke would serve in filmmaker america stood with sam. he doubts the german

rugged regulator, acted alone and taking r t d off there. this is a t all of that. what it means because at the moment when the technology goes all the way around there, you don't have the others. you're getting a, one of the stations that the love to see because of it's documentary programs because of a li 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 of or that is just started 2 years ago for freedom press does not exist anymore. everything is transferred to ideology. you suffer because you don't polish reality. they want the

thought to be a lie, a lie to be a through. 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 base of the people against elite? it's a fight that they have to go forward. you have to find the ways to, to, to, to go forward. because as much as the price you, you will have a more and more audience. and more than half of people in the u. k, it is scared to say what they really think the new paul found that worried about being canceled by friends, colleagues, or even their own families or to shut it. it was dashti has a story. counseling culture is citing academics, a gagging public figures and wanting celebrities off the face of the planet. wait to really say that nice, but i'm not the only one by to my time, according to you got paul. majority of brain living in fear of being canceled. the

majority of britons 57 percent, say they have at least sometimes found themselves stopping themselves from expressing their political or social views for fear of judgment or negative responses from others. the idea or apartment can be cancelled, or in other words, blocked from having a platform is happening to hundreds with a very similar cycle. you say something offensive receive a public backlash, and suddenly you're gone done a finish cancelled by by. but it's only happening to big names and faces, but people like you and me work online on dates and even at home. i think we're living in a coach now of bullying, bullying in workplaces the government actually. so i think people are frightened to always say what they feel in cases come home. and so the main she made you seem to have one. so a point of view of everything. and so if you say in different, you get what you get 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 cause you down has a lot of issues where you fear fred, very careful about what you say. and that's not right now for good debate. and we used to have a good healthy democracy. good. how we 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 argument. i just want to shut you down and say, no, you can't tell you that you don't allowed to say that i thought device kicked a private to the apology. atonement forgiveness is no longer enough to warrant if they weren't accountability, social justice going caught. and the more controversial the view on any 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. 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 bored. not only that, a number of couldn't leaks, das they really do exist, announced that they're rebranding to distance themselves away from j. k. rowling 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 is 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 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 roots 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 actress of prime time telling more and 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 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 oscar core to slap google with a $98000000.00 fine for failure to remove continents. buns on the russian 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 span given a small fall of $27000000.00 for the same violation. that was court found that the 2 us tech john failed to delete almost $5000.00 legal items, including von and an extreme with content. and both rulings, penalties were based on corporate turnover and you will find is the largest ever

impose on any company in russia. meanwhile, facebook parent company matter has given us reaction, saying the ruling will back fire on russian companies in international course. google said it will consider the ruling and decide what is the next steps will be. we'll discuss the see with previous, the accuracy and text, but bill 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 thankless task. and it has a real difficulty because, and 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. that is going to be critical, they need to their results is not the game we're getting backwards. it 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 these tech jones. the russian foreign ministry is accused the crone of preparing a crusade against its own population that's off the key and out of the surgeon military spending at ease of more gather as it he felt 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. and they are planning with this latest boost and 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. it is law. i think that was all this talk of foreign service men being there to participate in, quote measures to insure national security and defense. and another quote to deter russian military aggression. his ally, this 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 or citizenship which, which some believe is an effort to circumvent as to bypass the minsk agreements, which are called on all sides, evolved to the conflict 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 east and you credit to be and i'm good at re 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 improve 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, the dual sides will return to the negotiation table and the means ke agreement will

be implemented. but aside 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 line on the front lines in the trenches in east you. craig, 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 and the white house. again, categorically denying those claims. nevertheless, it does go to show how, how hot the situation is, how tense the situation is, how hot passions are, and how much mistrust there is. well, those are the headlines for the cell. find out all about cyber crime and avoid being the victim of hacking n r t dot commentary. i'm hacked next that we're back in 30 join us then on auto international. ah,

a very kaiser christmas now our santa claus and rudolph are scheduled to deliver a bounty of toys a day. but due to supply chain constraints and the cost of feeding the reindeer, skyrocketing downstairs at gemini, and into the living room potsdam, collins to explain all this to us. and dan, welcome to our kaiser christmas show. merry christmas everybody i ah, and i guess the media group at all cannot go a little bit,

but because of its stores run is la maya. loosen you issue chain the command of list that keeps the work because i still need to see to never delaware. mm. hm, that's got by be other groups off i need to do the oxy organism additionally done is so christmas. gotcha. and then the gigabyte but also does not quote is it doesn't cost their opinions. i'd say this is the operators for me exit. yes. get the oregon. yes. and they're all cranial was the lead to start the dodger. who was in the done the labor was what he does. the chair libra. we are down the machine. you're combining those nitrogen from the station manager to be a piece of woman that have been as i'd say. yeah. near graduates. assume yearbook or not just a boy next door. you open it from the go editor if saved on the thumb with what store you go for washer was still yesterday, wasn't it also.
