the deputy of rt has said the decision to suspend rt�*s uk licence has robbed the british public haveom has shown the uk public that despite a well constructed facade of independence, it is nothing more than a tool of government to its media suppressing well. that is the latest decision by ofcom to revoke the licence of rt with immediate effect saying that its licence is not fit and proper to hold a licence. there are some 29 investigations into the impart sheltie of the programmes. let's go back to lviv and the situation close to the airport. 0ur correspondent is in lviv. what more can you tell us about what has happened this morning? no i want to set the scene, ninth in minutes past six in the morning, as a first light was coming, we heard sirens and we were shepherded into shelters as were probably many people who found shelter in their basement. at 625 there were four explosions about four miles away towards the west of the city. it was thought it might be the city. it was thought it might be the airport, the authorities say it was not, it was an aircraft maintenance centre repair

we have just in the past few minutes heard from rt itself.egulator has falsely judged rt to not be fit and proper and so has robbed the uk public of access to information. let's bring in our political correspondent rob powell on this particular story. you could have seen this one coming, the number of investigations there are into rt. certainly would suggest that they have some problems with the way in which they've been broadcasting, but at the same time in the united kingdom it's one of those situations we do not like to censor people here. >> yeah, and the chief executive of off com has said this morning that this is not something that they do lightly, that freedom of expression among broadcasters is something that's important, but they say that it wasn't necessarily those 29 individual investigations that led to this license being revoked, it was a separate broader investigation where they pulled in such facts as the fact that rt is funded by the russian state and that the fact that the russian state has invaded a sovereign neighbor and t

but rt is actually challenging that in front of eu courts., is that is the onus now on the tech companies to block rt voluntarily? i mean, they were in the scope of the sanctions. so the online online channels, telegram channels, youtube channels, facebook. all of that was in the scope, so they have removed them. it was legally binding for them to do so. but what we're seeing is what we call mirror websites, which are websites that copy the content of banned website, but with different urls, so it's harder to crack down on them and on fringe platforms such as 0dyssey, which is very well known among anti—vax covid groups, you can still find rt on that on that website, lionel, just to bring you in right at the end, just for the last few seconds, you know, how successful do you think russian backed media has actually been influencing public opinion in the west? very little. i think a few people have got very rich. i've been not mentioning them on this programme by, by appearing on these shows and being essentially apologists or near that. but yo

it�*s important to understand what rt is for the rt is a state broadcaster it means it is a state broadcasterc broadcast such as the bbc and other countries have which is funded and meant to serve the public. rt is run by, controlled by an organisation which is called tv novosti. that is funded by the kremlin. in this country we have a system of independent regulation, we have independent bodies like 0fcom which regulate the media. under 0fcom rules you can be funded by a state but you can�*t be controlled by a political body. not so long ago cgt and which is the chinese channel care was taken down by ofcom because it was controlled by a political body. in the context of what is happening in the ukraine, the feeling that 0fcom have is that rt being ultimately controlled by the kremlin is basically an arm of state propaganda. it�*s a couple of things, looking at the content of rt, it fails on two grounds, one is you accuracy, an idea that this is a military exercise and clearly aggression and repeated failures of accuracy are something 0fcom are concerned about. partiality is a difficult broad

it is important to understand what rt is.e independent bodies like ofcom, which regulate the media. under ofcom rules you can be funded by a state, as tv novosti is, but you cannot be controlled by a political body. not so long ago, cgtn which is the chinese—backed channel over here, was taken down by ofcom because it was controlled by a political body. in the context of what is happening in ukraine, the feeling that ofcom has is that rt, being controlled by tv novosti which is ultimately controlled by the kremlin, is basically an arm of state propaganda. it is a couple of things. looking at the content of rt, it fails on two grounds. one is due accuracy, the idea that this is a military exercise when it is clearly a war of aggression and repeated other failures of accuracy is something ofcom are concerned about. and also due impartiality. due impartiality is a difficult to explain but it broadly means an absence of bringing a certain amount of ideological baggage tojournalism and it would be fair to say, watching rt, there i

you can still access rt.tion outside of roku being the only tech company that has taken worldwide action against rt and russian-backed media. you've seen facebook and google and big tech companies take action in europe where they were going to be forced by basically the eu commission to take action. i view this as big tech being acquiesced to europe and to -- bowing to pressure from lawmakers versus taking a principled stance. there are a lot of countries out there that want tech companies to censor and ban things and when facebook and these other companies basically acquiesce to their demands without given a principled stan that's worrisome. it would be better to say we don't want this on our platform versus this gio targeting they've done. >> here is the russian today live youtube daniel cha nl it says putin announces special operation. it's not a war or invasion. and it's live on youtube for all to see. julia, this raises thorny questions about censorship. this is always going to be a complicated -- you te
