the the, the headlines this out belgium suddenly back tracks on its co clam time, react mean faces cinemas and other cultural. they're nice that offers highest court slammed the measures as excessive, also become joe biden. distances himself from previous promises to shut down the buyers tonight says it's up to individual states, not the white house to sort out. we discuss his response to the pandemic. so far, we look to a tough kid is gone for america's big tech, which saw leading companies get embroiled in political fights with republicans and democrats. and we get a rack limbs inside one of russia's most notorious prisons known for hires in some of the country's most dangerous criminals. in the wake of the soviet collapse in the 990. walking into a cell like this. where all these, pardon,

hacking criminals give you. this look, been rejected by fellow prisoners and become in a pariah with something they feared the most. the good afternoon just gone. 2 o'clock in moscow watching archie international. now despite europe struggling with the new chrome strange, belgium has suddenly you turned on some of its toughest restrictions. it comes after the country highest court rule that the measures were excessive and coat from entertainment venues. and now being reopened my judgment, the council of state suspends the measure of closure of the cultural sector facilities. it rule that this measure was not proportionate and cannot make it possible to understand why the attendance of theaters and cultural venues was particularly dangerous for the health of the population. essentially what you have is belgians highest administrative court saying that the government rules make no

sense and as a result, government will have to backtrack. this follows a legal challenge that was filed by a local theatre producer. and it followed a number of restrictions that the government had only imposed a short time ago, amongst these new restrictions where that all theaters cinemas, and cultural venues had to close christmas parties would have to close early, and sports venues would have no audiences. and this is in addition to already the mandatory wearing of moss and people having to work from home. but now we have a situation where everything's reversed. so the cinema's, the theaters and the cultural venues ought to re open. and of course, it raises questions as to just what kind of consistency there is to these government rules and regulations. jagow, there are still months and months of the covered crisis ahead of us if the public is not in our side because of a lack of sense in the measures, we will have lost the battle against the virus. so now you do have a part of the public that has been very,

very vocal in particularly demonstrating and criticizing these government restrictions in recent weeks, they've taken to the streets to voice their concerns. bob now in general, the current situation a cross belgium has been relatively calm. they figures point 2 to over 500 cases per day, per 1000000 people. but the situation is quite different just across the border. if we look at fonts, for example, phone has registered and all time high of more than $200000.00 new cases per day. and that is the high for europe as well. as a result,

the government has had to impose restrictions. you had a situation where the french police are saying that everybody from 11 years and older. now when they are doors have to wear them off. except if they're involved in cycling, if they're doing any kind of form or if they're inside the vehicle. so you have within the, you block itself, different european countries dealing with these high cove, it figures in a very different way coarsely, then i, meanwhile, the u. s. still top the global table when it comes to the number of covey deaths, but president biden is now distancing himself from his promise to shut down the virus and says that the solution has to come from individual states rather than the white x. there is no federal solution, it gets found state level and then ultimately gets down to where the rubber meets the road. and that's where the patient is in need of help or preventing the need for help. or just over a year ago,

biden slammed the trump administration's k v testing efforts. as a travis stay and said, america's vaccine ro, land was well behind other developed nations. he then promised to change the course of the disease in his 1st 100 days in office, but that didn't happen. over $400000.00 americans have died from cove it under biden's watch, with new cases hovering at around half a 1000000 per day. in fact, new york has been the worst hit with case numbers that reach in all time high since the arrival of the micron strain, seats ascii taylor disgust washington's response to the crisis. flight and sad. what for what that is? no federal solution. i don't think that is something that one wants to have from the president. there never was a federal solution to a virus that spreads more easily than chicken box and with each to very and as becomes more and more of the early, the idea that there's some policy or some politician going to stop it. we should have been acknowledging that this is not a pandemic, and that this is and demick,

at least a couple of waves ago. politicians that's a 1st duty is not only did g d p and inflation and everything, but basically saved the health of their, of their countrymen. and this needs to be done. this was not done. joe biden got elected because of donald trump's of failed handling cove. it in the minds of voters in coming up on the year that he was inaugurated and we have covered as bad as it's been certainly case wise. we can now add up all the rough weeks for biden, to rough year for by 62 percent of americans. now, double chance, they said that when we get to a certain threshold, everything's going to be great. that's how them unity we're going to be able to live more normally. in your opinion, is 62 percent in good enough. the terrible, i mean 62 percent is close to 50 percent. not close to 100 percent. the reason why we're not vaccinated is because people are misinformed. it was not accurate information, but vaccines and the fake news that are allowed on social media basically lead to the fact that patients and people at the end of the day will doubt necessity of

having a vaccine. there's definitely a lack of trust in the government as well as the lack of trust in big pharmaceutical companies, especially now that an increasing number of so hopefully vaccinated americans are be in told no, if you haven't had a booster shot you're not vaccinated anymore, you as bad as all those people, it didn't get back to vaccine mandate for domestic ad chapel. do you think that's the direction that we're getting and the vaccines are for your personal protection . we have seen less of evidence that the vaccine limits transmit ability. if you don't have that part of the puzzle from a political message in and law making perspective, then you don't have the pretends to set up the mandates. put up other restrictions of occupancy restriction or telling people that they need to wear a mask from when they walk into the building to least sit down and they can take it back off. none of this stuff is going to stop this fire and we should be deciding for ourself the best way out of it. the sooner we're going to be able to find the best equilibrium that we're going to have in this new reality that yeah. what here

in russia, the daily cave, italy has been declining, but of course that doesn't diminish the severity of the virus milli 600 patients are on critical support in moscow alone at the moment now being given vital supplies. volkswagen sees anton cut us off ski reports now and how the lives saving supplies of reaching the patients in need. oh boy. in breathing. how does a person dream? we don't usually pay attention to breathing because she had somehow attached to the body was a mandatory component of life. i remember the feeling when i felt that my breath was about to start with that i was forgetting have to breathe with it all new oil. i would say the turning point to kid this

year with the emergency dale, the strain when it became clear that the medical treatment with wash heisman to have more oxygen whenever it won't, patient kind of shoe 50 leap as of august implemented. it's an intensive therapy, but it's the case a serious volumes can like the 6 p leave with much in a commercial truck, the trailer that can produce up to $1.00 tons of liquid oxygen per day. that's the amount. yeah. but as you also can choose daily for you with what we're now at a filling station with oxygen is pumped into cylinders under high pressure. cylinders are needed by hospitals to help transport patients. today, our country produces $2700.00 tons of oxygen per day. in the past we have had to and now we have to work in the manual mode, is that we have close ties to the ministry of defense, gross cause, most arose out of all the companies that help supply hospitals with

show time we're ticking every day. if not every hour matters, but we have been told to ramp up production to full capacity by any medical studies . that's why as demand has increased oxygen production has also increased from 200 tons to 600 tons. michael thought, go to talk on the part for life part for oxygen fight for all of us for you. and for me, facebook's toughest, every year has seen politicians on both sides of the divide,

putting pressure on the mobile whistleblower and anti trust claims. it was john of sucks. next. how america's big tech firms have become swept up in the country's polarizing political c? from multi $1000000.00 fines to watching the lead blown right off some of their most sensitive secrets for big tech 2021 spelled big problems and facebook got the biggest kicking thing started to turn sour 11 of its former employees when rogue and testified that the platform apparently exploited children for profits and failed to sends a hide speech. and there needs to be a radio for a home where someone like me could do a tour of duty after working at a place like this. and, and have a place to work on things like regulation to bring that information out to the oversight. or if that have the right to do oversight, regulatory agency within the federal government? yes. taking kindly to whistle low as is one thing that american officials

absolutely can not put on their c v's. yeah. chelsea manning, julian assange, i'm talking about them. but francis hogan turned out to be a very different breed of whistle blower with billionaires and democratic thoughts . he took dogs sticking up for her. after all, her demands fell conveniently in line with the government's own grievances against big tech. her testimony dovetails very closely with the democrat censorship agenda . their plan or their desire to heavily sensor social media and to take out their political adversaries. the kind of government intervention that was proposed by how again and those who are pulling her strings is going to take place in opaque fashion behind the scenes. and undoubtedly with input from the intelligence agencies which are by nature opaque and unaccountable to the public. when you're a real whistleblower creation,

you are targeted by the government. you are silent when you are prosecuted and sent to prison. but if you are celebrated on capitol hill and finance, i know that by independent companies, i'm sorry, but you're not a whistleblower europe. political tool, her revelations got massive traction in the media and in the senate. you are a 21st century american hero. here's my message for marx, aka berg, your time of invading our privacy. promoting toxic content and praying on children in teens is over. big tack is facing the tobacco's moment of reckoning. mob zuckerberg try to fight back. my view is that what we're seeing is a coordinated effort to selectively usually document to pay it for a tour of our company. alas, his trials and tribulations did not. and that democrats, preston, calling for the ted joined to be dismembered, choked into separate businesses,

facebook, instagram, and whatsapp. they also floated the idea that the platform, not just the uses, should bear responsibility for all the content on its pages. and again, facebook try to say face will well, rather put on a new one. rebranding into meta right. there's martin. mm. i think he's in the middle of a perfect hey mark. i said let me put my gave me on so i can beat you. you'll be able to work out a new world even against an ai who is a good, persistent state virtual object laid on an interactive pastor environment. oh you are. yes, you are. our company is now met. well, goofy robots may have impressed a bunch of 4th graders, but certainly not the democrats met as in where

a cancer to democracy in that the sizing for a global surveillance and propaganda seemed to listen authoritarian regimes and destroying sheila society for profit. facebook wants us to start calling it meta, but we're just going to keep calling it what is a threat to privacy, democracy and children. republicans gave facebook a good walloping to the social media giant, brought their roth upon itself. well, by blocking donald trump, of course, as twitter did to, if they can band president trump, all conservative voices could be next. a house republican majority will reign in big tech power over our speech for every liberal, celebrating trump social media ban, the big tech oligarchy can muzzle the former president. what's to stop them from silencing you? twitters bumpier ended up in a change of leadership project. dorsey stepped down amid reports of growing discontent among investors making way for the new boss to rog wall, a man who seemed to have put twitters, use

a policy above free speech. our role is not too big, but was man, man, but our role is to serve ahead liberally, conversation, and our moves and reflect. there are things that we believe were healthier, public opposition, the kinds of things that we we don't do. what about this is focused less on thinking about free speech, but thinking about how they have changed each year. yields big tech scandals in abundance. 2021 made no exceptions here. raising questions if there's any way at all to tame the big tech as big oil once was. now, president putin sank thrushes prison chief last week as reforms to get underway in the wake of damming video, showing widespread abuses in the countries jails next week. visitor, the taurus former prison in st. petersburg this night being replaced with a more modern facility. the old jail was infamous in the ninety's when it hired

some of russia's most dangerous criminals, amid the chaos that followed the collapse of the soviet union parties. constantine gross gulf has been given rare access to it. just to warn you though, his report does contain graphic descriptions of violence. me were in saint petersburg and in front of what used to be rushing most infamous for them for more than a century. this was the largest incarceration facility in the whole of europe were the country's most notorious and violent criminals were being kept. now we're going to check out the jails, darkest parts that have been hidden from the general public. for decades. this looks like a perfect sat for a more moving even after 4 years since the prison was shut down, its empty cells and court are still sent chills down your spine. this is one of the solitary confinement cells that were widely used during stalins rolling in the

thirty's and forty's. i mean, you can see how small it is. i think 3 times smaller than a regular. so you can, i mean you can even fully stretch out your arms while inside. you have to spend days and weeks and a cell like this where it can actually only stand or sit on the edge of a small metal bed. lying down during the daytime is forbidden. well then it becomes how on earth in the prison was billed at the end of the 19th century as the most advanced facility of its kind in russia. firstly, because of its iconic architecture. we cross shape of the 2 main buildings, not only gave the jailer unofficial name, but also made it easy for guards to monitor and access every corner of that prison . at a time when ccc cameras were mostly with history,

the prison served as a pre detention facility yet. and the soviet times there was also we did a getting when for those found guilty of the most violent crimes like multiple murders and rapes, which is probably the dark part of the prison death row behind the field gate. there was a small basement where they were sentenced to death were executed. brazil came to nationwide notoriety in the 9290s when the severe economic crisis followed the collapse of the soviet union and crime rates through the roof. russian streets became an arena of bloody wars between newly formed criminal gangs. what are you looking at? what are you doing here anyway? who do you think that you're going to call for that cash you? i mean, it was you that, that would, that was kind of talk was column back then. there were dictionaries of criminals.

lang was out of radical islam mosquito used to run among russian criminal circles in the 19th, 1992. he spent 8 months in this prison on record during charges of the business, and someone told me money. so i went off to deal with the guy. i didn't go to raise the meeting, go guns. almost everyone had gone to that time derived that the meeting point in the police to meet with the crime rate was so high in the ninety's, europe's largest prison quickly became too small to fit in all the mob. stories and violent criminals are popular for the area. the door opens. i filthy ugly mugs staring at me. their faces of hog criminals. yeah, that's all i sat down on the edge of the bed. it was our place to sit down and he's going to look in the light that we have a cigarette and off of these gangs the smoke they took almost a whole pack for me. so he smoked together and talked, so i realized is going to be okay. my next warden who served in this prison at the

time, recalls some of the night mary scenes he witnessed every day at work quicker. it took me up and caught up to 14 people used to shed this tiny saddle. is it true that some in even slept on the floor under the bed? otherwise it was impossible to fit. everyone in people slept into shifts. a lack of funding had left the prison without the most basic things like toilet seat inmates ended up rolling their blankets to have at least minimum comfort growing up in russia, in the ninety's and seeing videos of this business over crowded cells. i vividly remember how terrified i was when i imagined what it would be like, walking into a cell like this were holidays hardened tattooed criminals give you this look as the door slams behind you. and some of the former inmates recalled that are being rejected by a fellow prisoner isn't the common a pariah. was something they feared on most,

some times in more than solitary confinement or punishment from the guard. it was awful. i missed that this is a terrible place that ruined the loss of people's lives. what you're talking about, what cerebral under came out to these doors. they were mentally damaged. we're is kalia taylor ticket. oh yeah, i read about it. so how young guys will rate, but old mops does a couple of times. they raped young guys simply because they wanted sex. the country's future president vladimir putin visited the crosses in 1992. he was particularly shocked that prison dentist pulled out inmates teeth without painkillers. the decision was made to shut down the notorious jail altogether and build a new one from scratch. in the next episode, we're inside the new prison that has replaced the old one in the city. some are the most important is that we have a restroom, but you can look from the inside. has any prisoner travis feel and i from you. with

what happened? i couldn't cope with language and i killed the mice, strangled in leadership yoshi fish what really want to be back with you. please wait for me. don't you can see and seems special reports all this with care on our team. now 2022 is lining up to be a big election year for franz for president micron, hoping for a 2nd term, but he's up against some big competition in the final months before polling starts to show that they've been skate reports. how hi im is running out on a manual macro ones. first time in the lease a with the french people just months away from a new vote. and it does seem that even after 5 rocky years, macaroni is still in po position. i think it will be mark one micron, whatever happens i will vote micro. however, he faces

a battle with some new faces in the mix, all vying to unseat the so called president of the rich. and until recently, some predicted this would be an election that would be a run off a 2017 with mack on facing off against the national rallies marine la pen. now, while she still showing favorably in the polls, she may not be his main opponent. for those who missed it, meets eric sim all, we laugh i a brand you doesn't mean this. his words in more blocks to the, into the presidential campaign before he was even confirmed as a possible candidate. initial poll suggested that he could be the one to face up to mac on in the 2nd round, but he support has since dipped. ah a

however, could his campaign be about to get a boost? is a more, is gaining allies from some unexpected quarters, should get this on them. he is the only one who has discernment and courage and who cares about civilization? what he stuns for is, will i live for the defense of civilization then? and there is a valerie case, she's already fought off the big names in her own party, let her publican and now she is angling for the fight her life. she believes that she is the only one who can deliver a knockout blow to mack on every lovely for victory. the french people have understood it would be either micron or us. and she could be right, early polls suggest if the woman who describes herself is part thatcher, part merkel will makes it into the 2nd round of voting. she could give them back on

a run for his money. now what's interesting about france's presidential election is just how the vast majority of people are apparently only considering giving their support to right or perceived right when candidates. and what matt connie's seen is the man to beat. he remains incredibly unpopular. ah mm hm. oh, you look at that country like a company, really, it's no less than a company. and if the french people have voted for menu in my core i 5 years ago it was because they thought, wow, it's a young business man. he knows had to run a company, a lot of people who had voted for him and you and michael got disappointed because they said, hey, you know, you are going around the country like a business, like

a company, and it's not working. so what happened in a company when it's not working, the shareholders get rid of the, our general manager, and then they get another one. the other scene that has been emerging is a sense of hocking back to france, is past candidates consistently talking about returning to traditional roots about holding on to francis identity. and one name keeps cropping up, is you know how the goal, he's the founder of the current french republican. that's a man that for many symbolizes the best of what it is to be french. it seems that may be a winning strategy from buffalo. it's important to have a charismatic leader, represents france. well, someone who knows how to make decisions to have someone who is strong, not necessarily physically, but he shows that he is sure of himself. someone smart when that honesty,

respect for the people above. oh, and a commitment to france. 2022 also sees another real task from the viability of mac calls and longer term project for france. he is on the move party which was created in the wake of his when just 5 years ago. we'll also find out whether it remains a force in politics here. elections for the national assembly come home on the heels of that presidential vote. will his vision be given the rubber stamp of re approval, or will it be discarded to history? only france can decide. charlotte, even sky artsy, paris, and that brings you up to date the land use this thursday afternoon. you're watching auto, could abby company back again at the top of the blue with

ah, no one is starting at the agents 14 and battled, and the next 5 years, his addiction eventually became psychotic. using very high potency wax and he jumped off a 6 story building. i guess that was the only way he knew how to enter. ah, today we're at 2015 and we're here what all we pod, or we've seen him with

edible. i'm some of the people in colorado, the early 2, thousands, colorado became a test bed for medical, and then later recreational marijuana. you know, at the time i wasn't really concerned, i didn't have a strong opinion about it. either way i did, i didn't know that marijuana had changed so drastically from when we were younger. when johnny turned 18, he was able to very easily get a, a medical card and then he was able to legally purchase, possess, and consume very high t h. c. products that led to the psychosis. you know, he ultimately died as a result of the psychosis brought on by high to see marijuana. and i believe that if he had never.
