8:01 am
with me being a jam packed week here at auto international. let's highlight some of the top stories while sol, so eating today's main headlines. welcome to them. by the way, germany's media regulator this week band auster channel r t g e, across all platforms. in retaliation, russia shot down the moscow bureau of german broadcast. at deutsch of ela, the foreign ministry, warding of further measures, possibly to come, taking a close hard look auto correspondence donald court. it was this week, the biggest violation of freedom of the press in germany. the country's top media regulator took r t d. e's broadcast off the air on the internet via satellite social media. absolutely everywhere. the required media, low license was not available. the organisation and distribution of the tv program by a live stream on the internet for the mobile and smart tv up asi news,
8:02 am
and via satellite miss death will be discontinued. what was russia left to do, but to respond and kind deutsch. evello was told its offices in russia will be shut down. it's journalists press accreditation, revoked, and it's russian language broadcasts. taken off the air on top of all that a blacklist was declared to include every one complicit in this enormous censorship campaign against r t. russia is drawing up a list of representatives of states and public stretches in germany, involved in the streets in the broadcast of r t d and putting pressure on the russian media outlets would be denied entry to the russian federation. moscow promise. this was just the 1st stage of measures that it was willing to take after all this r t d e ban is only the latest episode and a drawn out pressure campaign that's been aimed at obstructing r t from broadcasting in germany. sure, the government denies playing any role in all this, but it's done nothing about the fact that a number of banks won't do business with our channel or that the country's top media regulator seems unwilling to even reach a compromise. that's all despite
8:03 am
r t holding a legal european broadcast license o g d e was licensed in serbia under the european convention of trans frontier television, r t t e can book cost as programs in 33 european countries, including germany. or you can still appeal the decision, but how much good will that do at this point? almost immediately after r t d e created a youtube account, the platform deleted it. when it tried to broadcast over satellite, the signal was so poor, people couldn't even to an in german officials have even labeled our german language channel. an irritant. it's not difficult to imagine that these problems were deliberately set up to impede r t d e 's success, which i know about the closure of bank accounts and so on. there's a large number of tactics they using say, r t d can't operate there infringing on freedom of speech, and that's very bad. and yet berlin's acting like moscow took these measures out of the blue
8:04 am
r t d e z. kindly broadcasting without the license. and the trauma has not applied for license the german state media officers decision was based on this. this is a completely different situation to deutsch velez. his license has been revoked. perhaps if this was the 1st time or even maybe the 2nd time r, t was obstructed from broadcasting one might say rush overreacted, but r t d e was entirely banned from broadcasting in germany, and that is no small step in the wrong direction. we spoke to a film director, morton traffic, who says the band will not he either basically ended silencing those who challenged mainstream narratives in the western hemisphere. so much or what comes up the russia is viewed with such suspicion. because that, that creates a worldview where a lot of people are missing out on potentially valuable corrections or,
8:05 am
or alternative viewpoints to look at the big tech giants who are already censoring, sometimes in very bizarre ways. statements or viewpoints are supposedly unacceptable. it's just a part of a general trend toward a q rated or controlled media world. or this is obviously, i think, connected to the prevailing political situation not least connected to your grade. and i would suspect it is a 2 of the paging winter olympics and australia has one its 1st ever olympic curling event, despite its a member testing positive, covert on saturday, lexia to chef. the reports from the host city when to lympics are continuing in the chinese capital beijing, and we may have a 1st scandal of big proportions here involving australian curling team. now, on saturday night, one of the team members, actually gil,
8:06 am
was tested positive for call it. however, on sunday morning, the chinese authority said that she was clear to participate in the competition while observing close contact rules. while looking at curling and the way this game is played, you cannot imagine any way that this is free of any calls contacts. jill herself was probably very surprised to hear the news already admitting she was heart broken . and the official explanation from the chinese authorities was that her copied readings were too low, and that's why she was allowed to participate. i had a look at how this was actually happening. and obviously gill had no mask on whatsoever. and move like that would seem as a very hot warming gesture from the health authorities to allow athletes with low symptoms, of course, 19 to participate in the games. how did not be in for multiple heartbreaking stories involving many athletes from across the planet who had been preparing for
8:07 am
the games for, for yes. tested positive up on arrival and were forced to miss out on the lympics. here in beijing, such as the case of a russian by athlete was salva, who was immediately taken into isolation on arrival, having tested positive for corbett, and just a few days back, she put a post on instagram, describing horrible conditions as she described it. she had been kept in on top of that, there are many cases involving colleagues of mine, journalists who have also tested positive. i'm been locked away and even more so those who were on the same plane with them and was sat next to them despite testing negative, are also put into moderate self isolation. just to remind you that all of us here are living in a bubble. we are, the allows to be inside the hotels and at olympic venue were not allowed to go into the city. but with all these new regulations and rules imposed by the chinese authorities. all this seems like an unnecessary requirement for us here. why are we
8:08 am
supposed to be in a bubble when people lie, gill, are allowed to participate despite having tested positive for corporate? or at least it's not all that sour for many athletes winning golds and fill those already. that is the case of alexander bush and off of the russian olympic committee team who managed to win gold in the sky race. and that is the 1st goal for the r o c team here in beijing. of course i'm keeping you updated with everything happening here in the chinese capital electra, the rti reporting from beijing and china. so i'm at the top stories of the week, a veteran report, a cost with us state department spokesperson this week, as officials basically failed to backup that the claims in. but they didn't show any evidence that will rushes, putting a full flag of operation to justify a war with ukraine. have a look at this banter. what is the evidence that you have that suggested that the russians are even planning this man?
8:09 am
i'm not saying that they're not, but you just come out and say this and expect those just to, to believe it without you showing a shred of evidence that it's actually true or them. when i ask, or what anyone else asked what the information you said, well i just gave it to you, which was just you making a statement. we do so we do classify information only when we are competent in that information. if you doubt, if you doubt the credibility of u. s. government, of the british government, of other governments and want to you know, find solace and information that the russians are putting out. that is for you to do well. meantime moscow. so it's not surprised by the string of accusations saying it hawks back to 2003, when washington made false claims of iraqi weapons of mass destruction. meanwhile, the full text of the confidential us nato response to russia. security concerns has, of course, been leaked. the document was published by the spanish newspaper l i. e s and later confirmed as authentic by washington and my colleagues saskia taylor and neal hobby
8:10 am
discussed its contents over the past few weeks we've seen at the highest diplomatic levels, riley's of accusations of verbal sparring and that's just what's been happening and public's. we can only imagine what's going on behind closed doors, but now a fresh document leak has all put off a glimpse into what is indeed happening behind those doors. and it's really showed that moscow and washington, alongside nato, a very, very far from reaching any kind of consensus with regards to ukraine, issue, uninsured. well beyond move, not that does seem to be almost a blind unwillingness from the military alliance to recognize any of russia security concerns. now, the spanish language paper open hasn't managed to get it comes on the nato and us response to russia. security proposals now will remember those proposals they were sent back in december. they sent triggered a flurry of diplomatic talks and calls and essentially they requested legal guarantees, restricting for the nato expansion, specifically with regards to ukraine. the document that we're seeing now though,
8:11 am
reveals a very blunt response from washington and brussels. and it's in all states should respect the right of other states to choose or change security arrangements and to decide their own future and foreign policy free from outside interference. in this slide, we reaffirm our commitment to nato's open door policy under article 10 of the washington treaty. we have of course, requested comment from both nato and the us state department. but if we take just this document, it seems that it is an open shot case. them, they will not compromise. that is despite flat and person warning. but this is a very reckless disregard of russia's concerns. it's not well for help, because do people realize that this could potentially set all nations involved down a very dangerous path of no return associates? just because when you much listen carefully to what i say in ukraine's own doctor. i know documents it is written that they plan to return crimea,
8:12 am
including by military means that it's not what they say publicly. imagine for yourself that ukraine and nate members will begin military operations in crimea. what do we do? go to war with the nato block. has anyone thought about that? so the situation is, it seems to me both sides refusing to budge and let him have pigeon said it there in a slightly different context. but what do we do? what's versus reaction? been to this moscow has already sent follow up questions to this document. so clearly that is a desire for continued a dialogue. but most disposition on this has been consistent from the beginning. it recognizes, of course, that every single country has the right to determine its own policy and assure its own security thought is not what's being disputed. here. the issue is when countries choices have ramifications beyond its borders and actually pose a very real physical threat to someone else. and let's just be clear. a potential natal launchpad located in ukraine is just a couple of minutes miss all away from,
8:13 am
from russia. so it's essentially, i think, this fear that really underlies russia's concerns, even though you know shows abortion is just ignoring our concerns, the u. s. and need to refer to the rights of states to freely choose how to insure the security. but it's not just about giving someone this right. after all, this is only one parts of the well known formula for the indivisibility of security . the 2nd integral part says that one should not allow the strengthening of any one security at the expense of the security of other states. so the washing liters, asking why must we sacrifice our security that someone else can feel safe? not said it would be remiss if i didn't point out that the document has some encouraging moments i'm talking about. reestablish the communication long military channels, reinstating the nato office here and moscow discussing arms control. so reducing missile deployment to ukraine. but if we get to the bottom of it, let's be blown. according to this document,
8:14 am
the west responds to an almost existential concern of russia says we hear you, but we don't care enough to do anything. and this is, in fact case close. we're not going to discuss it further, but here's a list of much smaller things that we feel that we can give you to project an image that we are listening and being cooperative, but do nothing in any way to address your fundamental concerns. and with that kind of inflexible rhetoric combined, of course, with this ongoing footage of millions of dollars worth of weapons being sent to kiev. it's very difficult even with the best of intentions to see where to move from. now, we spoke with political analyst chris barry. he told us that nato has gone from being a defensive block to being an aggressive one. i saw the company on the program on archie international at london's police chief is in the spotlight after a reporter avails disturbing private messages between officers. joking about rape and murder. that story and more went back in just about
8:15 am
ah ah ah, driven by drink shaped bankers and those with dares sinks. we dare to ask oh, in october 1962 in a period known as the cuban missile crisis united states. and then the soviet union
8:16 am
were on the brink of war, 1st floor to february 2022. and the americans and russians find themselves in a similar to a powerless situation. this time on the russian ukrainian border will diplomacy as in 1962, be enough to prevent war in 2022. the top stories of the week here on our team. so a police watch dog in the u. k. has revealed a disturbing internal culture of mis sultani and attitudes on sexual violence. i should warn you may find some of the following contents offensive. the report includes private messages between offices of the metropolitan police force which does so great london. and one and officer said he would like to rape a female colleague. now the jokes about getting a woman into bed using a knife. so taking a closer look as i correspondent shadow edwards dashti,
8:17 am
all google incidents of hey crime involving racist sexist and homophobic messages have been discovered by a watch stroke investigation into the police. thousands of messages taking place between 20162018 were reviewed. yet only 2 officers sucked, 9 of the 14 investigated are still serving in the 4th, while another holds a contract to stop role. now the commission of faces schools to go, but not just from the public, but senior politicians as well as former high ranking offices. we're not seeing one of instances we've seen now too many instances of the most appalling behaviors. i also think it shows a feeler of literature in some quarters. the met police may be the worst for institutional massage any and racism, but they're not the only ones. only a statutory judge lead inquiry will do. only new leadership will do. surely, chris said it, they cannot be proud of her record when this is the norm in charing cross neck. yet
8:18 am
her 6 to your salary past was renewed last auden, which feels like rewarding failure. the defense just bank apparently. in fact, the independent office. so please conduct found an officer was named mc. great. be right. the following rumors about bringing a woman back to the police station to then sexually assault the met says it was sorry. we are deeply sorry to londoners and every one they have failed with their appalling conduct and acknowledge how this will damage the trust and confidence of many in the meant in the u. k. offices, i suppose, the police by consent, but how can trust be restored or even wasn't ever that what investigate to say, the insidious culture is widespread. we believe these incidents and not isolated or simply the behavior of a few bad apples. the highly dumbing report is just the latest scandal under police commissioner crescent dix watch. institutional feelings were placed under intense
8:19 am
scrutiny by the rate and murder of sir everett by a serving metropolitan police officer known to colleagues as the rapists during his career. and i'm just the mattress serious about ridging the force of rotten abuses of power. surely those individuals must go and that boss to all is a toxic, dangerous culture that yet again, leadership times a blind eye to any cost. when we actually started our issue and debate your strong be all work and that one investigation, actually mushrooms and to 9 separate investigations. and what we uncovered proceed is the thing that was happening here was that they thought it doesn't just how. and it also has a devastating impact on the internal culture within the b service. because these
8:20 am
officers that were involved with the women, they were officers who come from different cultures and back please service as an doesn't promote culture which supports officers no matter where they come from, what their sex. and they won't enjoy their trust and confidence and enjoy the actual how can they go to weapons and rebuild the trust and confidence of the community that these very offices come from? the unicef says 6 children were killed at the time, the us conducted a special operation in northwest syria abiding, held that mission. i success claiming that the chief was, i'm ec state, had been killed or carried out the operation with their signature preparation and precision. and i directed the department of defense to take every precaution possible to minimize civilian casualties. unicef confirms that at least 6 children
8:21 am
were killed and one girl was badly injured overnight in the border town of at my in the northwest of syria due to heavy violence. meanwhile, the pentagon says 2 children and a woman were killed during the raid when the ice is lead. a reportedly bloom self up. when the u. s. department of defense spokes both in claims, there are, quote, strong, strong indications that american forces cause no civilian deaths. and we spoke to judy, a tumor of unicef, about the cost of violence in the country when we have an escalation and violence and bad area. and what this means is that children pay 1st and they pay most. and if we compare the number of counties of children during the month of january in comparison to, let's say, december last year, the number is so it's in the higher. and this has been the case since the beginning of the year. and this has got to stop children continue to be the 1st and most to
8:22 am
pay in this 11 year long conflict. we call an old fives and all parties to the conflicts in syria to stop the fighting for the sake of serious children and its future. meanwhile videos emerge of what said to be the head of a headache, up to the us commanders were forced to blow up during the re. you can see what's left of it right there. american officials or deny had crashed or were shot down. they said the crews ok saying it was a mechanical failure that led to the helicopter being blown up. well, we spoke to some locals who say they witnessed the raid. soon as i let them there, there were helicopters flying at low altitude, about 4 or 5 aircraft. then we saw soldiers landing the soldiers targets as a house near where i live. the house was surrounded. they spoke through land speakers telling everyone surrender or the house would be destroyed. then the fighting started near inside the house. about an hour the helicopter carried out 4 or 5 machine gun attacks on the house came by and we were preparing to go to sleep
8:23 am
. and suddenly we heard when the sound of helicopters, my aunt went to see what was going on. she found the sky totally red through loudspeakers to go out. we did that, but then they searched us and hank of my father, they asked our names and what we knew about. and they said we didn't know anything . they asked us to move to the neighboring house and started rating us the operation. this area is believed to be the worst case of collateral damage. since the us drone strike and cobble in august which kill the 10 civilians including the entire family, ortho, nicholas davis, things such tragedies are regrettably just the tip of the iceberg. united states has been a war and all these countries in the middle east, in the greater middle east, over 20. yes. the last few months. we've had a couple of incidents where just because of the circumstances ah, the united states has not been able to deny the fact that it killed, you know,
8:24 am
large numbers of civilians have just been thousands and thousands of these attacks . and to think that, you know, these couple that we have recently heard about some how unique in the fact that they killed civilians is, is just to be, would be actually cry too much. a passenger on spirit airlines is crying censorship. off the staff told him to remove his face mosque because it had the anti bite. and let's go brandon slogan on it. a video of the incident got attention on social media, 500000 views during the week via tick tock. not america anymore. the american anymore. the company here. if i had a b, l math on what did it been? ok, what does that mean? like like that or? no. what does that grand in? what does that mean? it's my name. but isn't it? freedom of speech that have the mascot. is it? is it a freedom to see?
8:25 am
is this massive home? i just, i can't, we are massive says let's go brandon. like this. anybody, i don't understand. the incident happened on a flight from cleveland to tampa. one of the crew said it was unacceptable for the passenger adam or a donor to display a political statement, citing line policy. but we spoke to adam himself who says the incident is about the flight attendants, personal views, not the airlines rules. it is a public. you're an airline, it's a company that they can enforce, you know, policies and things and things like that. but i still think it falls under freedom of speech because it was, you know, it was basically violated. it wasn't spirit. it wasn't spirit palsy that i should not wear this. so it was, it was a direct situation with the actual flight attendance. i mean anything will offend
8:26 am
anybody. now it's all a personal saying it's not, you know, she might have thought me might, you know, but is it something else was offensive if i but if i would have had, you know, by the 2024 or 5 or anything, anything of that sort? what she had told me to take it off, you know, and i don't, i don't think that would be the case. i think if she would have like did, she would have, let me, let me wear it. that slogan, let's go. brandon has become a code for insulting president biden started when the nascar driver brand from brown was being interviewed a few months ago after winning a race. the crowd began behind him chanting an exploit about the president. but the reporter, so they was saying, let's go brandon. passenger adam or donor again says censorship is killing freedom of speech. we, we do have free speech. it says, i think it's, you know,
8:27 am
being taken away from us by one sided censorship. i mean, you see as also media all the time that it's you know, let them jump, supporters will post things down or you know, things that they support. but if you talk to the other side, it's not censored. so i feel like, you know, the freedom of speech there is, you know, being, being taken away and it's basically one side of i'd wrapping up this. i was addition all the weekly here were nazi international with that story right there from spirit airlines will. thanks for sharing your sunday time with us here at moscow, it's been such a busy week via worldwide headlines. many more stories to come, making waves around the world when we return enhancement with with
8:28 am
so 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 offense. very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time, time to sit down and talk algorithms
8:29 am
and neural networks have been following us everywhere. we look online because our relationships are what matters most us. that's how we find meeting and how we make sense of our place in the silicon valley. see, don't mention in that slick presentations. however, the ghost workers who train the self, where humans are involved in every step of the process when you're using anything online. but we're sold, as is miracle of automation behind your screen is a valuable workforce that feeds algorithms for next to nothing. on a very good day, i can do $5.00. now. a really bad day. i can do 10. these workers are invisible by design. it's about labor costs, but it's also about creating layers of lessening responsibility between those who solicit this kind of work and need it. and those who do it
8:30 am
a whole. mm. versus james white with his took that initiative. don't have all it was. i think it technologies to engage that guests and there was this to communicate to make them happy and safe by using the live channels using the latest colleges from block chain, from opposition. and they're just all that do us that small assure the happiness of it. yes, and that was i think a device is not different to other cities when it comes to cyberspace. and digital smart city is a city that's using technology to make people's lives easier and happier, collecting a lot of data to try to improve the way things are used. arnik doris bureau,
