8:00 am
a real possibility of privacy violation, and that's something most of us wouldn't want to wells transparent group. we must live with a top stories here on our team, new south bloomberg inadvertently. publishers are headlines saying russia has invaded ukraine. they'll come to the cabinet to have a bit of a joke about it linking bloomberg to that of fake news truckers and kind of protesting mandatory vaccines are banned from the go fund to me side off to raising millions. the platform accuses them of inciting violence. the fake news cbc is telling us, well these violin truckers nobody's supporting us. yeah. why don't you cbc come down to the soup kitchen and try to feed some homeless people or help us clean the war memorial? right?
8:01 am
the u. k. government says, it won't say sorry, after a report reveals it squandered almost 9000000000 pounds on useless an overpriced p p. so here at r t, we hit the streets of london. who are the higher ups that take responsibility and not to them saying, i think it's a waste of money. why that actually thinking about off and i do with them. also in the program, the audio sharing side spotify removed another 113 episodes of joy, broken podcast after the white house on the platform to do more about so cold cope . it misinformation. so this time, all that really the content had nothing to do with quite quite the the a mixed batch of yourself that a story or an aussie international. it's a pleasure to have you with us today for the credit and having a bit of a off saying it might have to change the term fake news to bloomberg news. it's off
8:02 am
at the outlet announced that russia had suddenly invaded ukraine. the headline was taken down after about 30 minutes. bloomberg also saying, sorry, earlier my colleague mill harvey discussed all of it with donald quarter breeders were absolutely shocked to find some hair raising news. on friday afternoon. the headline read live, russia invades ukraine and for nearly half an hour. i mean this, many americans thought that this is it, that this time bomb that the western officials in western media have been hyping up for months now has finally exploded. and that was until, of course, bloomberg took down that headline and issued an apology. we prepare headlines for many scenarios, and the headline russian invades ukraine was inadvertently published around 4 pm today on our website. we deeply regret the error. the headline has been removed and we are investigating the cos, so it was a total accident, but definitely an irresponsible one. i mean,
8:03 am
good thing. other media outlets didn't just take bloomberg's word for this and re posted without thinking re posting this blatant misinformation. i mean, what a way to give someone a heart attack they had they story already written in some was just hovering that finger over the publish button. now, now now now they've been, they to go. so for mitchell fake news, whatever you like, it's not she and it's apparently not only bloomberg up to these kind of tricks. right. actually the german tabloid build actually publish something even more seemingly crazy. i mean, they claimed to show a map that they published a map claiming to show russia's elected plans of invading ukraine. it's editor said that their sources were in the intelligence community, and they even outlined this alleged plan to invade ukraine. apparently it has 3 stages. first, the scenario has russia crushing ukrainian, ukraine's military forces and laying siege to all of the major cities in ukraine. second, it has vladimir putin setting up
8:04 am
a puppet government called the peoples rata to run the country. and finally, this puppet government, according to this plan, is set to set up some sort of camps to put in ukrainians who are disloyal to moscow . i mean, this all just seems like the plot of some, a western movie with another russian bad guy, you know. but unfortunately, people rely on popular tabloids like builds for reliable information and it's editor should probably stick to fiction because the reality of it is, is that moscow has said time and time again. it is not planning to invade ukraine. useful facilities. authorities configured soothingly, if it depends on the russian federation, then there will be no wall. we don't want any wars, but we will also not allow our interest to be rudely trampled on and ignored. and just when you think that might be as ridiculous as it can, debt actually builds. i did also publish another sensational map last year trying to make the same assertions about russia. so it seems like this month's long
8:05 am
media hysteria around an alleged russian invasion, you know, is, is not really showing any signs of dying down. all right, let's take this further here on our t life. now, thomas roper, a german alta, i'm blog joining us live here on a saturday afternoon, a very good afternoon to you. so thank you very much for joining us. what do you make of this a russian invasion story from build it? is it possible that got their hands on some juicy foreign intelligence, or is it just a bit of fake news? a boot is in germany, very popular for fake news at some so, so i don't believe anything. and i just read this the article. they rely on some, a secret service even don't name them a, so it's, it's authenticity, not nothing concrete in it. and buddhist is, is famous what this, especially the, the author of this article is very famous for his, you, let's say, politely pro nato. or let's say in a hard way to ration article, so i'm not surprised to see anything that this from him. he was even worse than the past, but the owner failed is a private entity, a man, i won't mention his name,
8:06 am
but what could be his interested in running headlines like this? who, you know, maybe he's got political motivations. maybe he's got financial incentives who i don't know i'm, he's the author of jeff is just a, rebecca, he's the leader of the political department of build but built belongs to extra springer. and this is a german media holding. and all your times, the journalist of actual spring, even to sign the contract that they will ride pro, not to approve you as pro israel. so accordingly, badly about the so called enemies of the u. s. so it was even the contract and all the time. so they are famous what they're doing now the russian numbers and germany has slammed the report as a quote, strange combination of speculation and rumors. mister rupert, could this further aggravate the whole relationship now between russia and germany, it's already a pretty tense time concerning ukraine. well, i think the relation between germany and russia is, anyway,
8:07 am
very bad already. well, the russian embassy says, but what they are saying, what, what else can they say? russia doesn't. why? why should russia and later cram there's nothing they want. let's say, let's see, maybe one shot when you chance la with it's put you, maybe they get a new way for a restart. but at the moment the directions are very poor. the new drama chancellor, he's looking to come to moscow as the micron of fraud. since in fact, right now, we're seeing it's a bit of a rush of building momentum of various european leaders. you want to come to moscow and talk to prudent about the crisis in ukraine. just back the mr group, just back to this build report. it comes just hours off the bloom bugs inadvertent headline, and just to pause 24 hours that russia has invaded ukraine. and then you look at the u. k. tabloids as well. and they've been saying for the past couple of weeks, imminent, imminent, imminent invasion. i mean, some might say there appears to be a european wide media campaign to start a war. mr. syria is not new. we have to since 2014, i think once or twice
8:08 am
a year. there always, and it's 8 years now that the report there want to tell the russians and they are right on the way to invent ukraine. we have this last april. it didn't happen. we have been since 2014. it's real propaganda. they are making yeah. we can say it's walk and pain but, but still the water start for it. yes. but they doing it for 8 years. and now it's just a bit more than, well, it's less it more extreme than in previous events. but let's think back in april last year, it was also new new saying, well what i mean bailed bloomberg, the son daily mail. i mean, you've just got an absolute rash. all of these offloads here, and a lot of them very type loyalty who are putting out these headlines here. and it's also making politicians saying we're, we're well hold on a 2nd. i mean, even the ukranian president lensky, came out lum, busting the american on u. k. media saying guys, you're hurting our economy by saying there's about to be a war. would you please dial it down? who does it benefit? mister rooper, media headlines like this. this is the general intention to, to,
8:09 am
to build up a real anti ration policy. and the west, we have this also with the gas crisis by russia says, hey, order guys, we have gas, we have you pipeline ready, and they just don't do it. i mean, it's funny, i think since december the, the pipe them through bill a rush, but russia is empty. there's no gas coming because there are no orders from europe . on the other hand, we have a gas crisis and exploding prices for energy. this for me, see, really to be a coordinated propaganda campaign to show russia as an enemy. and if you look at each part of this big puddle, everything is hague. and this is just another, well, maybe the most extreme, but another part of this big fake company against russia. i thomas robot, ortho, and blog joining us live here on, on your international. great pleasure to have you with us today. thank you very much. thank you. bye. well, canadian truckers protesting against the coven vaccine mandate, i've had beg,
8:10 am
gofundme page, shut down by the side, claiming the so called freedom convoys, inciting violence comes off for a barrel of negative media coverage, both at home and abroad, with headlines saying that paralyzing the capitol and locals are just to terrorize to go outside. well, the freedom convoys spokesperson, who set up that go fund to be pays, told us the mainstream narrative is way. of course we're at the point where i think we have the marolla, the community. we, as a police, had indicated to us on the ground that we have been shockingly peaceful. not that's the word that a couple of cops used with shocking that this many people can get together and be peaceful. and because of that, they are now viewing, as we're told they're viewing it as a political problem that politicians need to solve. so i think i think it's silly what they're doing, quite frankly because it's the easiest when in the world. trudel can come out and
8:11 am
be hero, or at least claim to be a hero. you know how, by listening to the people and they can come out and say, you know what? you're right. it went on a little bit too long. we were, we thought we were following the science, but you know, the fog of war getting the right data. it's, it's confusing. we thought we did our best, but canadians want their freedom. and you know what i is just in shadow. i'm going to grant them their freedom as their leader. that's what a leader that and i think it's only a matter of time until he does that. well, the freedom convoy had had a race around well, just over $10000000.00 canadian dollars on the whole go fund me side before the ban . in his statement at the crowd funding website said don't was going to reclaim that money with the remaining funds to be redistributed among other charities, apparently chosen by the freedom convoy. although subject to approval from go fund me. meanwhile, another fundraising platform crashed off to agreeing to host the freedom convoys
8:12 am
appeal. in fact, within the 1st 60 minutes more than $90000.00 canadian dollars had been raised. meanwhile, just south of the border truckers and set up a facebook page in solidarity with a canadian colleagues, although of course that was blocked as well. by the platform. we spoke with a freedom convoys facebook page administrator about this the censorship out here. it's absolutely unbelievable. the mainstream media out here does not tell the real story of what is going on. when it came down to a facebook page. there was probably, i'm one of the 10 admins for the page. we also had moderators, but for the admins, i got my facebook page, not only it's not on, i'm not in jail, a facebook job, i'm permanently deleted. i cannot access facebook on my phone, and i tried to create a new account. i did. it's like they're tracking my phone and we never in sighted anything but p. c, unity. and we just want to like to have
8:13 am
a say in what's going on. earlier canada's prime minister condemned to what he called the hateful rhetoric of the rallies, frightening it, quote, an insult from memory and the truth. whatever that means. i must protest broke out of his government introduced vaccine mandates. but truckers crossing the border with america for health officials defend the move siding, the rising number of infections. at least 15 percent of canadian truckers as we understand are currently on vaccinated or canada. so our top doctor has weighed in on the debate, saying the cove it can be dealt with in a more quota. suitable way too. so to the government, to review its restrictions. and we spoke with david free hide from the people's party of canada. he says the state has no choice, it has to listen to the tax paying public. i can't speak for the government and the government is not speaking for themselves. the government have absconded from their duties. they literally fled the capital and they're not talking with the convoy.
8:14 am
they're not even talking to the convoy, they're just talking about the convoy and they're spouting off. what are the most egregious lies imaginable? and the problem is that a lot of people don't really understand what's going on on the ground to know the degree to which they're being light. just intruder comes out the other day and puts out a tweet, saying that the convoy has been displaying racism, anti black racism, anti semitism transfer be it's, it's delusional stuff. it's delusional. demonizing, the media which is subsidized by the government is running with it, is repeating it. and i've got to say it could not be further from the truth. if you, if you, if you wanted to lie, you couldn't lie better. the u. k. government is refusing to apologize after a report revealed it squandered a whopping 9000000000 pounds during covert on protective equipment. that was faulty and over price. now it insisted made the best possible spending decisions given the
8:15 am
information it had at the time, make no apology for carrying p p at the pace in volume we did. based on the information we had at the time, the action we took protected thousands of front line health care workers in the n h s, and social care. however, now that the world market for p p has stabilize the value of some categories of goods is now in evidently much lower than the price they were originally purchased . for her member at the start of the pen. when you couldn't get hold of them off for love, no money, no one to the public. angry at this hurry, no, sorry, attitude absolute waste of money isn't absolute waste of public funds. and it's a dismal, isn't it? but $23.00, hold accountable for it. i mean, what really ends up happening if we complain about that, who are the higher up to take responsibility and i'm up to them say, i think it's a waste of money. it would be much better to actually pay attention for education
8:16 am
and, you know, with all the fuel, the prices go off and everyone struggling and live in foods like with double. so yeah. such a waste. so why, why they're actually thinking about us and to do them again. barriers on page 199 of a government report is a disclosure that there was a loss in values of 8700000000 pounds of the 12 point. 1000000 pounds of p. p purchase sucks more than the entire ministry of justice budget. about 7 percent of and it just running cost or enough to build more than a dozen new hospitals. nearly 700000000 pounds worth of equipment was found to be totally unusable. 2.6000000 was sent to items not suitable under what thing 3600000000 pounds and supplies. let's go walking. as officials don't even know where they ended up. doctors on the front line here, we're doing that back to fight the virus off here in the pictures of which
8:17 am
a new my label placed onto them and only will label showed that it was actually the date. and then your label had a new date printed on it. so somebody must have gone and printed off hundreds of thousands if not millions of labels is changing the use by and expiry date on lots of p v e which, which happened all around. not to mention those lucrative contracts, signed and sealed by tory thoroughness foss trucks. probably that tory power 5000000 pounds was spent, even though many have no knowledge of p. p procurement, the vi p lane has now been deemed unlawful by the high court. but it's not just to be. the government has written a $4300000000.00 pounds of fortunately claimed coven business support, learn more than 10 percent of the total sum given out. officials dispute the amount but for me to go off the each and every pass and the opposition say they can't
8:18 am
trust the government with the public money as far as they control the endemic waste and shawn under the tories are pouring taxpayers money away. yet at the same time, they are hiking taxes, asking working people to pay even more. they cannot be trusted with our money and are totally out of touch along with the government's laissez faire attitude to fraud. this will be particularly galling to hard working households, wondering how they will pay the higher taxes the chancellor is imposing this april . millions of people are struggling to financially recover from the pandemic, which makes reports of billions of pounds being wasted with nobody holding their hands up a hard pill to swallow and traverse johnson. well, it seems like he may have to hire a clean us all the sweet thing under the cause that he's been doing recently. dusty all to london and the u. k. government he's facing call to apologize on another front for it's you turn on mandatory vaccines and garr homes and of course that have b and h. s. critic said nurses have been treated like quote,
8:19 am
unwitting guinea pigs. it was the white policy at the time, supported by the clinical evidence and the government make no apology for it has also proven to be the right policy. in retrospect, given the severity of delta, we spoke to raj sega director of one nursing home in england. he says it's just too late for any apologies. anyway. when we've been saying right up to the last day of the monday, it became necessary that the fix that this was how hold mckesson. we're getting 3 countertops is traffic and offer you an apology. now is, is too light, and unfortunately it's not just the 40 to 70000 people that can stick to last that i need to apologize to. it's all the current can work as well because the burden of
8:20 am
care fell straight on to the people that were left in the sector. and we know that the effects that it's hard on staffing. we were 120000 people. sure. prior to the plan that make and how doing another $40.00 to $70000.00 on to that figure is, is essentially it says it's not to mingle. and the effect on the entire industry is just brought it to needs. an estimated 40000 care workers resigned from the sector since it was announced. they would have to get jobs by april. first, the government says it's flip flopped on that. now the situation is changed. so mister seagal again, hopes the government will avoid need your policies in the future. unfortunately, throughout the pandemic government to show that their decision making has been reactive than proactive. and i think until we get a government that our she looks ahead and talks to the care sector and plans for
8:21 am
the future with the sector in law and giving equal power fewer staying with health . we're never going to move forward unfortunately. but meanwhile, a new book in france has lifted the lid on shocking abuses in the countries care home sector will be explaining that. i made the mix of your other saturday stories . we're back in just a 2nd. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offensive, very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with
8:22 am
8:23 am
they had nothing to do with cope. it $115.00 episodes were taken down without explanation on friday. and most of the episodes removed and new they didn't contain what's been deemed covert misinformation was trick that the previous deletions. that what is the world's most popular podcast pulling in an average of $11000000.00 listeners per episode? now it all comes off of the white house, weighed in on the whole dispute press. secretary jones stuckey urging spotify to get even tougher on the so called pandemic misinformation. so our hope is that all major tech platforms and all major new sources for that matter, be responsible and be vigilant to ensure the american people have access to accurate information on something as significant as cove in 1900. that certainly includes spot to fly, but ultimately, you know, our view is, it's a, it's a, it's a good step. it's a positive step, but there's more that can be done. well, let's look back at how all this started. but joe rogan was rounded on recently. also he was accused of airing false claims,
8:24 am
about coven vaccines. that prompted summer high profile musicians on spotify to quit the platform and protest saying they wouldn't be on it if rogan was in response to supportive. i said it would start labeling shows that discuss cove it or commenting on the whole controversy. spotify. c, e o said the streaming giant does not closely monitor rogan's podcasts and it sees itself as a distribution platform. not the publisher got reaction from a christopher harris executive director over on the hyphenated america. streamline dangerous for white house to take the steps that they're taking to try to do an end around and not directly try to press free speech, but through their associations with big tech companies, they're trying to suppress free speech slippery slope is going to end up eventually where government is going to control all content, they might not do it directly. it's an unholy alliance between big government and
8:25 am
big corporations. when there's someone who speaks out and speaks in opposition to the narrative of the left, that this is when they begin to flex their muscles. they have a problem with the fact that someone like joe rogan is speaking out against what the narrative agenda that the white house wants to put out. so rather than try to do something that is blatantly in violation of the 1st amendment, they just use the partnerships with big tech to try to press and suppress the voice of joe rogan as a controversy of a so called coven misinformation rumbles on just a reminder the w h, i would recommend getting vaccinated. i can schedule a gripping pots of fraud if not the entire country. one major provider accused of running a racket so ruthless in its pursuit of profit is such a shocking missed treatment of elderly people. activists say the french cat system is quite welcome to the call is shot, a different ski the late time being the lift stayed on a scandal that many new was looking for decades. allegations revealed in
8:26 am
a book that paint a horrifying picture of his treatment of elderly residents at private nursing homes . he in france, all in the race for profits, livid. i shall can the revelations in the book by vick to cast a net concern institutional mistreatment. he denounces the system which is obtaining the maximum amount of public money in an organized fashion with help at the highest level of all pear. it maximizes profits in various ways from reducing care and food to capturing public funds. a manipulation was short term contract. these allegations concern nursing homes that were run by an international company called, or player family, sometimes paying up to a $150000.00 euros a year for what's alleged amounted to a. so ria lack of care for their loved ones where food was being rationed. basic
8:27 am
hygiene was lacking, or peer denies these allegations with a sin, spied its chief executive in their wake, and the government in france is launch not one, but 2 inquiries. while the leaders of our peer have shareholders to reassure them, i must reassure residents, families, and professionals. this is why when they were summoned yesterday, i refund the government's determination to shed full light on their practices. while this has been welcomed by campaigners, they say that the system is simply rotten to the call america. thus, as teachers shall end of the institutional mistreatment in the sector and france has existed for 25 years. so it's really nothing new. the institutional mistreatment touches the whole sector. this isn't the means for enough people to take care of our parents. it's shameful and scandalous. and that's the same testimony that all she has heard from others too. that while all player may be at
8:28 am
the center of this particular scandal, this is a scandal that reaches law firm that touching nursing homes in residential homes across forms are natalie destiny. in april, last year, she was using both hands. one day we went to see her, and the next day we visited and found her right wrist. was it an odd angle? and we didn't know what happened. i had heard nothing and when a asked, she explained that it was broken. when it asked a nursing home, they told me that she didn't have a fracture. i thought it was a fracture because she had swelling on her wrist with the bruises. she couldn't have done this on her own. i don't know how she got them. after the 1st log down in march 2020, when not as that the hygiene products hadn't been used in 3 months. and now it's the same thing. i informed them about this. what i live very far from the nursing home. i was walking one day and my mother's window was open. i could hear her screaming. i asked that afternoon why she was crying, and she told me they washed her by rubbing hard you and her ears, and they had heard her. i called the nurse and she said you wanted her washed. look
8:29 am
on the bright side. she was heard, but she's clean. she had not had a shower since july. she had patches of hair stuck together on her scalp. i don't know if they even were washing her hands. they needed to be washed. oxy has also seen evidence of the results of what families say has been the neglect of their loved ones. this picture shows someone's fall that 2 years off. they ended in nursing care facility with a full set of teeth stall, had no time to brush them. we've been told this woman's sofa boons from her own saliva when it was left without being cleaned. others have shown this how dirty rooms were with family, so shocked gently cleaned them, themselves, families callously don't blame caregivers themselves. they know that nursing homes wasn't really understaffed, and it's not possible to provide the care needed without the means that are also
8:30 am
needed. but for now, what they want is for miss investigations to lead to somewhere to meet more protection. better care wouldn't be consider precious their family. just as soon it's disgusting. we must stop the system of collusion their system. mistreats caregivers are miss treats all the residents and their families. we can't take it any more. right now, how far they are here when they're watching capital, wrapping up the news cards for this hour here. one hour, thanks for joining us up to see with the top of the hour with more of a with ah, ah ah ah.
