military bases that have been named after confederate generals and thirdly donald trump has long been calling for reform to section 230 of the communications decency act ratz the provision which gives internet companies like facebook and twitter legal protection if someone writes something on facebook which is which is inflammatory or legally problematic facebook won't actually get sued don't trouble joe biden and others have been calling for reform of this particular provision but for some reason don't trouble decided the national defense authorization act was a place to do it it's not in the n.d.a. so therefore he has vetoed it the house is going to meet on monday the house of representatives and they hope that they will have enough it seems like they will have enough. enough members to override the veto a 2 thirds majority the senate says they will meet before to force to do the same still it seems even though some senior republicans say they will follow donald trump it may not be enough to to to mean that the defense establishment isn't isn't funded this should be overridden but t

for this as well and certainly although there has been a lot that has been made out of this a lot of anticipation for this is well there has been a note of caution struck from the health secretary matt hancock saying that even though this is an extremely important day that they still needed to have heat all the safety. procedures in place decision distancing the wearing of masks and with that in mind that they could if everything goes according to plan that they could look at perhaps lifting restrictions in the spring time the deputy chief for health of medical officer has said that in the past too early to look on that as well considering that there are spikes happening all certainly rises in cases happening in london among other places as well but this is very much a significant day here one that is carried with a lot of emotion as barker says in his report coming up. it is happening a turning point in the global fight against a virus that killed more than a 1000000 people around the world 90 year old grandmother margaret keenan made history becoming the 1st person to be vaccinated

what twitter has been doing, and jack dorsey explained it at length yesterday, they have been putting tags onto the president's tweets and those will take you to what they called broader context for the information the president puts in his tweets, the argument or position he puts in his tweets. with that comes restriction, or the ability of other twitter users to engage with the tweet. there have been studies showing there is quite a bit of a restriction that comes from twitter putting that label on that tweet. it is not just a label and it is the same otherwise, there is a significant reduction in engagement. we do not do that on parler. the tack we take in parler is similar to what senator kennedy talked about in the senate hearings with dorsey and zuckerberg. we allow people to think for themselves. just as kennedy was questioning the two of them and saying, do you believe everything you read? of course not, right? we don't think any person that goes onto a platform like parler, twitter or facebook should take anything on there at face value just because it was put out in the worl

no regrets at all although when i met him he denied they had been executed but of course they had beenoud — he had betrayed some of the most valuable secrets the west had in those days, the tunnel a break into the radio traffic, telephone traffic in east berlin, he betrayed lots of operations, he betrayed a similar tunnel in vienna, he was an unbelievably successful spy and even more successful that he actually escaped, it was astonishing, though he was looked up at a top security prison in wormwood scrubs and he got over the wall and was spirited away onto a bed in a camper van to east berlin, it was astonishing. that's incredible, what did he say about that and how much of a propaganda coup was it for the soviets? they were not involved in helping him get out, where they? it was all organised by him and an irish republican. and two peace workers. he was amazingly proud of that, it was all done by him, hejust outwitted the prison authorities. but he was furious that he had been given 42 years. as he told me, why did kim get away with it and anthony blunt and so many other of the cambr

the counter argument would be for months now we have been looked into looking at this ina have been lookedher this deal is any good. to that will be the work of years now, to take the deal as it is, it isa now, to take the deal as it is, it is a framework as much as anything else, to seek to improve it, to make changes where its is not quite working, because this deal is all about a new way of trading with the eu. trade changes fundamentally with the eu on january eu. trade changes fundamentally with the eu onjanuary 31st. we are not sure what that looks like, this deal eases that change a little bit, but the nature of that change is really fundamental, and the nature therefore of the new uk—eu relationship is changed completely, so, it is strange to judge the deal against a change we haven't yet experienced. i suppose that is why the eu were so set on talk about divergence, level playing field, getting a process, at least a structure so they know where to go if there is divergence, it is clear those rules have been set up, swift ta riffs if those rules have been set up, swift tariffs if t

, what has been the effect? what do we know? are there gaps in our knowledge about what's going on in some of these context and the overall responses? mr. lowcock: ok. so there's very important set of questions there. let me just start by just continuing the economic theme a bit. from what i said just now. because really my most criticism of how the crisis has been handled so far is the better-off countries failed to offer an adequate helping hand to the poorest countries who faced the same economic crunch but lacked the resources and institutions or access to markets to take the measures that better-off countries could do. those poorest countries have had a collapse in earnings, tourism revenues, as well as the impact of the global shutdown, and while the better-off countries drew more than 20% of their national income to protect their own citizens, the poorest countries could only access 2% of their much smaller incomes. now, the fact that this happened is surprising because what needed to be done actually was

i'm sure you know over the new strain of although it's been around since september it's already been detected in several other countries including denmark the netherlands is there a case here of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted somewhat. yes yes i think sadly so i think one of the difficulties that is that many european countries may actually not be aware that this variance is been circulating in their countries and almost certainly we will over the coming days we will find that this virus has spread much more widely than we believe at the moment and yes once it is spreading in your own country there is very little if any benefit from closing your borders to other countries. so yeah i can understand that whilst these countries are actually working out what they're going to do to help stop this variant in their own countries and seeing if it's there they may want to do this but i can't personally see that there's going to be any benefit in carrying these. closures on for much much more than a few days paula thank you very much for your time and your thoughts this ho
