5:19 pm
look forward to a more meaningful bilateral relationship. but he also understood, let us silva and stay there, so that he can make the mistake of federal castillo, which is simply to say, well, if we align with the us and obey them like good boys, then they'll help us when we're in trouble. certainly castillo case has shown that you cannot trust the united states government to protect you and you shouldn't because ultimately you should rely on your own people to support you. ok. ok. big interest in this next story, the boss of the real firm who's cargo train derailed in the us state of ohio last month, sparking a huge fire and chemical leak has been called to testify in front of a senate committee. lawmakers say the accident was 100 percent preventable. derailment happened on february 3rd, the train was transporting a highly toxic chemical compound use to make plastic products. it can trigger
5:20 pm
severe shorts and long term effects on the health of anyone exposed to it. the fact that journalists were prevented from accessing the site for some time led to accusations that. busy governments trying to don't play the seriousness of the incident or corresponding caleb and takes us through the details of the catastrophe and the upcoming hearing on it. well, at this point we have ohio residents filing a lawsuit against the environmental protection agency. now, as well as ohio governor might do, why and they are doing claiming that basically they've been told it's safe to go into the area. but that is not say they're citing a study conducted by texas a and m university. and carnegie mellon university. that indicates that there is a concentration of 9 toxic chemicals in the area that is higher than normal. they say the p a telling them it was safe to go into the area,
5:21 pm
put them at risk again. local residents told a grazed down reporter that they believe these results conducted by the university . this is what they said. do you trust the company when they come out and say everything safely tested over? no, i don't know. i know what i felt, my lungs. i've got healthy ones that have gone up there and now, but he trust somebody is telling you, well, it's only going out a mile when you live 3.3 miles away and i walk outside the morning of my lungs and burnt. felt like they were on fire, but time i walked out and walk back in. so now i don't trust anything. i don't think there's any content feelings around there. my experience has been the people are still pretty much up in the air and uninformed and feel like they've been manipulated. do you think that the do you think that the company should be trusted
5:22 pm
when i say everything safe? everything's good to go. i know i don't trust them. we don't know what's in the air, we don't know what's in our homes. now. another issue that is being raised is the issue of the private contractors that were hired to collect samples in the area, according to gray is the own. the company tetra, tech that was hired is owned by black rock and by vanguard. those are 2 financial corporation and they also own norfolk southern southern norfolk, which is the company, the railway company that is involved in the crash. so that indicates the conflict of interest data least now i pointed out that patrick tech, the company that's been hired, i was involved in quite a few scandal over the years. the department of justice has come down on them for their ecological practices. they were involved in what's been called the biggest case of eco fraud and us history when it comes to a botched name,
5:23 pm
the clean up that went on. now, in addition to that, it's important to note that apparently the companies have hired the center for toxicology and environmental health. and this is a corporation that was involved in the clean up after the b p. oil spill in the gulf of mexico. and they have been widely criticized for their environmental practices and their activities in the aftermath of various disasters they've been called on. here's what raised on reports. another toxicologist, familiar with c, t, e h, who requested anonymity to avoid retribution from the firm. describe this chemical studies is designed to meet the goals of its clients that pay to say everything's okay this saw said their work product is basically they find the least productive rules and regulations and rely on those. so with residents that he's palestine, ohio reporting that they've suffered health effect in the aftermath of this brain
5:24 pm
derailment, many people are looking on and seeing the reports and the activities of the environmental protection agency that seem to be very well serving the interests of norfolk southern the company that was involved in the derailment, and observers are looking on a thing that looks like an example of collusion, and a parent corruption where a private corporation and the federal government seem to be working together. and it's the public that is being put in danger. and suffering. washington is one step closer to a nationwide bond on the globally popular chinese up to talk and move the critic se threatens freedom of speech and expression. the u. s. senate foreign 1st committee has approve legislation aimed at stifling the social media platform. that builds advancement, counting those tensions between washington on beijing steadily increased. the wife alice has raised security concerns about the app and ordered all
5:25 pm
u. s. federal agencies to remove the software from their systems. now, this later legal effort would allow the biden administration to the carry, tick, talk a, quote, extraordinary threat. beijing has rubbish that calling the move and unjustifiable violation of for business practices, neighborhoods, alecia toll. how cool? how unsure of itself can the world top superpower like the u. s. b to fear young people's favorite app like that? we firmly opposed those strong action. so the u. s. government should respect the principles of market economy and fair competition. we stop suppress in the companies and provide the an open fare and non discriminatory environment for foreign companies. in the u. s. he knew what he thought you went while brussels has also jumped on the bandwagon. the e, you know, forbids the use of tick tock on official devices used by the blocks parliament commission and consul legal on media analyst line all thinks that cracked on may
5:26 pm
actually do the opposite of what's intended on mick the up as he says, a forbidden fruit thereby raising public interest in it. you people think that tick tock is the only means by which you can get this information. that's number one. number 2, from a practical matter. how would it let? let's go a step further. let's say the band is going to be across the board. is that even possible? and i would venture to say no, because what you're doing is your 1st of all you're, you're creating this forbidden fruit aspect of it. so as soon as you tell young people in particular, and by the way, good luck telling a gen zaire, that this poses some kind of national security threat. but the moment that you tell them you can't do this and this rather recalcitrant generation. good luck with that one. when you keep saying china, china,
5:27 pm
china, china, it kin tend to sound dare i say sino phobic. we've seen this before in the way. people talk about anything that's russian, russian propaganda, russian, you know, inter fair ridge russian. and after a while this russo phobic kremlin meeting, i'm kind of language seeps into the conversation. i can see this happening a if it hasn't happened already. and i'm not saying that criticism is not warranted, but it tends to obfuscate and to confuse the issue when you keep saying this over and over again. vinyl, wrapping up our news, our had thought our programs, they were just beginning, stay close to see what showing forever today from the r t international team on myself. you know, the time is
5:28 pm
5:29 pm

5:30 pm
a plan for zalinski. but are they willing to talk to russia in the cross talking piece proposals, i'm joined by my guess. i know 10 in beijing, he's a senior fellow at a to have institute as well as the chairman of asia narratives in parents. we have a shots up here. he is professor ameritas at the school for advanced studies at social sciences and in new mexico. we have come home and he is a professor of asian and global history at new mexico state university. are a gentleman, cross type roles and a fact that means you can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciate it. i want to talk about the european proposal here, and i want to talk about the chinese one. i'm for the repeat one shock. i'm going to go to you 1st in paris. so we have the u. k. france and germany talking to you crane about a possible settlement. essentially boils down to get as much land as you possibly can.
