9:03 am
a chief admits the quote, physical integrity of the power plant has been violated. i think that the current situation over the embattled facility leaves much room for concert. i will continue to be worried about the plans until we have a situation which is more stable, which is more predictable. it is obvious that the plant and the physical integrity of the has been violated several times by chance, by, by deliberation. we don't have the elements to assess that, but this is a reality that we, that we have to week of night. and this is something that cannot continue to happen . russia's military sent out on friday alone, more than $300.00 ukrainian soldiers were observed crossing the in that per river in dozens of boats. relatively near the nuclear plot. the russian forces eliminated at the se, but half of those vessels and the remainder, a believe to have
9:04 am
a boarded the mission. the local murk lim, ukrainian forces were trying to prevent the very arrival of those un experts by all means possible. to get into the senior, but surely don't. 11. you believe that in some time now, the ukrainian armed forces had been showing residential areas an approach, a nuclear power plant, the residence of our city, us get green, seeks to disrupt the arrival of the a commission. that's why they detained the mission. at the checkpoints, they try to be stabilize the situation and give false information to them that the russians are firing on their own positions. this is a standard scheme by which the ukrainian media provide information, but we have evidence to show the a that the opposite is true. i hope the head of the mission mr. grossi has enough understanding of the current issue. meanwhile, russia has requested a meeting of the un security council so that world powers are obligated to hear the
9:05 am
conclusions of the a mission r t. gotcha. done a 4th among the very 1st journalists on the nuclear plants report on the visit by the u. n. t. around me is arguably the biggest nuclear scare that the world has seen since the caribbean missile crisis between the soviet union, the united states. this is this up a raska nuclear power plant. you can see some of the react number one and 2 nuclear reactions. and in fact, it is being shelled, relentlessly and russia has been very much concerned and has been trying to draw the attention to this very big problem, trying to raise it to an international level. and finally, a special monitoring mission of the international atomic energy agency has paid a visit to the facility with quite a scene here at the dap ruskin nuclear power line. he special mission with the
9:06 am
international atomic energy agency i wanted you can see i'm hoping right beside the man in a suit here. he's basically being claimed and he's being shown the sort of extensive damage that's been dealt to the facility we were able in this few hours to put together a lot of the furniture to key things i needed to see. i saw of your explanations were very clear right here. next to me you can see an, a u, a v. basically a combat drone that was down just days ago above these upper oscar nuclear power plant. if you very interesting details, i'm pointing to which side could have used this drone again. russia does not import any, but here, for example, you can have this little chip plate and everything that you see here. it is written in english like you have parachute left wing and so on. so the russians,
9:07 am
they simply don't use english language for anything military. it is very much out of the question and here says another piece, another device, another piece of the drone. you can see that it is brand new. it is yet 2022. so it is very, very new. this particular well paying this particular drone has failed to do any damage to deal any damage to the facility because it had been down. but this is not the 1st time that things like this devices like that are being used against the facility. you can hear and see the water still gripping here because the shelling phase of them to have broken the point here and well, the personnel. they still haven't had time to fix them because well, the shelling hadn't stopped this place was where the 1st moved to shells landed and hailed down upon the the roscoe nuclear power plant,
9:08 am
who from phoebe down you can see the aftermath broken windows and this warehouse stands abandoned, it used to be producing liquid nitrogen, which is who shall do the functionality of the whole atomic power plant. now, well, if you look rational and it is making basically the work of the whole facility, very difficult. well, amid continuing attacks on the nuclear power plant on its surroundings, the u. n. acknowledge rushes commitment to ensuring the safety of the i. e. a team at the site. russian defense minister today stated that the ukrainian group of serbo stores tried to capture the station in order to use the mission as a human shield. we are glad that the russian federation did what he needed to do to keep the keep our the inspectors are safe. while independent war correspondent thomas rupert believes that the shelley
9:09 am
purportedly by ukrainian forces, as we were going through shows kiev didn't want the un experts to see what was happening at the nuclear facility. the interesting thing is they shelled any guitar and the region in the morning when the, when the team didn't arrive. this also looks like he have tried to stop this in the last minute, but it didn't work as soon as the team arrived at the place at the spot. there was no shelling any more reported. so we have to see how key if we have, they are not really rational the, i'm not military expert, so they don't have to re clue about about weapons artillery and all this stuff. they are nuclear exports. so their job is to check whether the station to power plant is it is an order whether they are working well, whether there's a danger from a technical side. that's why i'm not expecting very much information from them about the shelling because it's not their job. and they dont have the ability for these, these are nuclear experts, not military experts. the final leader of the soviet union mikhail
9:10 am
gorbachev, died this week at the age of $91.00 many top politicians from around the world express their condolences here, naughty weeping, taking a look at the legacy of the man who ended the cold war. ah, the funeral for the former soviet leader took place in the russian capital on saturday. he passed away on tuesday in moscow central hospital after a prolonged illness. a host of political figures came to pay their respects, including the hungarian prime minister of victor, or been former russian at present to me 3 met yet of and ambassadors from a number of e u countries. meanwhile, masses of rushes lined the streets to say their goodbyes. in
9:11 am
a ceremony that lasted more than 3 hours well mikhail gorbachev is well known for overhauling the soviet union foreign policy by introducing the new political thinking doctrine, which essentially thought relations with the west and brought about the end of the costly cold war. gorbachev call for the world to be seen as united, an interdependent instead of divided into communists. uncomfortable as countries, he saw the balance of interest of different nations as a way of solving international problems. universal values had to be recognised above all others, whether they be religious or national. the 1st and only soviet president also wanted to see the world free from all nuclear weapons by the start of the 21st century. or mikhail gorbachev also implemented the spread of domestic social, political, and economic reforms. the moves were hailed in the west,
9:12 am
but hastened collapse and industry and dire shortages of consumer goods at home. he's also playing by many and post soviet countries for the violent conflicts that erupt it following the chaotic breakup of the u. s. s. r. and as well as expressing his condolences kremlin spokesperson dmitri pest golf highlighted corporate shops, rose cultured expectations of peaceful relations between russia on the west, which had no solid. her late mikhail gorbachev is a statesman who will forever remain in the history of our country. many argue about the role he played, but the fact that he was an extraordinary person, a unique person, is unequivocal. he is known, remembered and will be remembered all over the world. gorbachev gave impetus to the end of the world war, and he sincerely wanted to believe that that would end and there would be an internal romantic period between the new soviet union and the collective west. this romanticism was not justified. the romantic honeymoon century did not walk out of the bloodthirsty this of our opponents showed itself and when they were in
9:13 am
a death which of the import. oh, well, despite what we're certainly host of controversies, mikhail gorbachev is considered one of the brightest and most significant politicians. one with the biggest legacy as well of his time. we heard from paval polish jenko, who at work closely with the soviet leader as his chief english language interpreter. he says, mister gorbachev was known for his ability to listen even to those with opposing opinions. well, he is a very authentic person. the way she looked and acted publicly was exactly the way she was. there was no difference between the public persona and the individual that i was really close to. i must say for so many years, she was open, she was warm, she knew how to talk to people,
9:14 am
she understood dignity. i always respected people with different views. and she was always ready to listen to listen to people who were sometimes very different both in other ways, but at the same time preserved his own walk into the system which and his views. and then i said, in addition to that person who and to be know authentic all these years, ah, now at least 30 people were killed on more than 700 injured this week during violent lashes in baghdad. it came as a struggle for power in iraq spilled onto the streets and demonstrators,

was a vocal critic of washington on the particular president george w. bush. bush reportedly said that his picture will be hung in every iraqi house. no, no, my dear, your picture is now under iraqi. the popularity the united states is diminishing day by day. if not every 2nd. we reject the presence of the american army or even the awnings by the us forces we reject them. we view this as an act of occupation while a political security analysts from by god told us also there has enormous support with in iraq. but his more militant followers are bringing chaos to the country. he has amended mountain among his followers. and the last elections he read about 860000 votes altogether for

9:18 am
the series of emails demonstrating what more than 40 employees of the current administration as well as some u. s. agencies have done to precious social media platforms to censure content. we have already received a number of documents that clearly prove that the federal government has an incestuous relationship with social media companies and clearly coordinates to censor freedom of speech. the department of justice is cowering behind executive privilege and has refused to turn over communications between the highest ranking biden administration officials and social media companies. they're referencing what they say are a series of documents. and now they're saying that these documents show conversations between top social media platforms and around 45 federal officials. specifically when it comes to content loaner ration and those good old words of misinformation and dis, information that we have heard so much about lately. now specifically,
9:19 am
when it comes to facebook, that's a big one that's mentioned here. and in one of the conversations at facebook, official actually talks about meetings directly with the white house. i know our teams met today to better understand the scope of what the white house expects from facebook on misinformation going forward. in our previous conversations, i've appreciated the way you and your team have approached our engagement, and we have worked hard to meet the moment. we've dedicated enormous time and resources to fighting this pandemic, and consider ourselves to be partners in fighting the same battle. now, speaking of dis information, and there is then this conversation where he at another facebook official talks about reaching out to the cdc directly and asking for help with their policy. we have been talking about in addition to our weekly meetings, doing a monthly mison fo debunking meeting with maybe claim topics communicated a few days prior. so that the c d. c can bring and matching experts and chat
9:20 am
casually for 30 minutes or so. yes, we would love to do that. now that line of conversation appears to have gone both ways. here. there are also emails that were sent by the white house cove in 19 response team in which they were reaching out to facebook actually asked, and then to take down an instagram parity account of doctor anthony found, she facebook's response was to say, yep, on it. so there was no push back there when we had that back and forth between those 2. when it came to content, moderation was extraordinary. really, isn't it a comes right after confirmation by match the seo mark zuckerberg that the f b. i interfered in the 2020 presidential election by pressuring his company to center ledge. russian misinformation on the hunter biden laptop story to. that's right. you may remember back in october 2020 facebook and twitter took really unprecedented and moved to sensor this story about hunter biden's lock top. that was published by the new york post. now facebook didn't go quite as far as twitter
9:21 am
did. however, a mark sucker bird did speak out about that this week. he admitted that the f b i reached out to him. now it's interesting here is he said that the f b, i was warning him to be prepared for some sort of quote unquote, russian dis, information that facebook needed to be on high alert. and so he said that their decision to sensor the story was part of them being on high alert. however, does, of course raise the question of how often this happens, how many times has the, by an administration reached out to those social media tech giants and ask them to make certain decisions. and how often have they complied as these emails appear to show them? in some cases they were even asking for more and more direction. do the revelations come as a surprise at all? well, with this administration, they've become almost more and more expected, especially when you know, someone like president biden, who gave a speech earlier in which you referred to republicans as extremist. there's
9:22 am
a lot of building concern about what his administration has done and what it's continuing to do when it comes to those members of the public that they don't agree with. and it's even drawing some comparisons to a police state like this one. take a list. so that laptop was not sensors because it was propaganda. whatever that means, it was censored because it might hurt joe biden. that is the definition of police state behavior. so certainly a lot of stay care and a lot of concerns, especially as we get closer and closer to that mid term election with top social media dance like facebook, twitter are ready saying that they plan to act against when they see as misinformation on little more on the story, us legal specialist and media analysts line or asks why washington has seemingly been targeting opinions on social media, the challenge, the mainstream narrative. what i don't understand is, why don't we talk about section 230, had the communications decency act. now the whole idea is that this is the immunity,
9:23 am
this is the, this is the life blood of social media platforms where they said the only way that we can survive is if you guarantee that you cannot sue us for libel and slander. because after all, we're not publishers, we don't do anything to censure what is or is it being said? so please provide us with this immunity. well that's not true. they said, sure all the time. and what i find even more interesting is, are these, these politicians who do nothing but every 6 months or a year, they'll bring in the usual suspects, drag him into congress, and then all is forgotten. weird. the only ones talking about this when the people who could really do something, namely the congress and the senate, and by the way, government all over the world, you're deerish, sleep to switch. you're not doing anything. they're just saying this is terrible. and is 1st domestically built are craft carrier, has after 17 years of planning, construction and testing finally been commissioned. the ship has been named the ins,

a functioning nuclear reactor and a ticking time bomb been so blurred when the spectra of a nuclear apocalypse is an incentive. is it too late to ponder a contingency plan? well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by an mitre seuss love deputy director of the center for comprehensive european and international studies and the higher school of economics in moscow meetings. good to see you again. thank you very much for being available . hello. it sounds like you're my now the is up originally nuclear plant has been a, in the headlines a lot in both russia and western media. although in diametrically opposing framing the russians and says that it is the ukrainian horse showing the station and are essentially engaging in nuclear terrorism, the ukrainians, their western beckers insist that is that they have their way around. but regardless of the culpability, don't you think that in all this bickering about who.
