recall as well, a similar case recently being witnessed in the us that was when the university of southern california, which was publicly supported palestinians cancelled it's valid victorian speech of this year's graduation over security and fears or correspondence shar, takes a closer look at how it voices are being cited as it has long been believe. that's a breeze. someone's freedom of speech or thought might almost be considered a deadly sin. at least that's how the west has been promoting their values to be. and there may be a bit of truth in it until you are police don't align with what they see fit. the university of south california, for instance, has decided to cancel. it's valid for in speech at this year's graduation. after careful consideration, we have decided that our student valedictorian will not deliver a speech that's come months, months, while this is disappointing. so there's some must div way to safety. to be clear.
2:05 pm
this decision has nothing to do with freedom of speech. there's no free speech entitlement to speak at a commencement. the issue here is how best to maintain campus security and safety period. they claim that it's all for security reasons, but the real reason my just shop to us, not the best of them, is not shy from using her voice for the policy. a cause in her is gone by all the free. she links a profile, assign page for anyone interested to learn about how to sign her beliefs or no secret. so it's no surprise that she feels as if her university has a bent in her and chose to silence her instead as just dresses by canceling her speech, the university is rewarding hatred and some of them and, and the palestinian voices have subjected me to a complaint of racist hatred because of my uncompromising belief in human rights for o. i was hoping to use my commencement speech to inspire and my classmates with the
2:06 pm
message of hope. by canceling my speech, u. s. c is only given to fear and do vote in hatred. but she's not alone. daniel shaw, a professor at the city university of new york with the extensive years of teaching behind him, was fired after he criticized israel's actions in golf. so the decision to pull my contract was made unilaterally by school president carol me. and because of pressure she felt from outside of the university, i was fired because of my outspoken as about the united states and israel's ongoing genocide of the people of gaza. zionist forces with no relationship to the john jay college community docks. me friend, me and ultimately gotten me fired and well when it comes to though, is there a declared themselves as the last bastions of free speech? they most definitely are quick to change their minds once something does not fit their narrative phrases such as genocide, ethnic cleansing or occupied territory when covering the warrant, gaza, our know goes for new york times during list several times. workers believe that
2:07 pm
these restrictions, according to the, is rarely narrative. that i think is the kind of thing that looks professional and logical if you have no knowledge of the historical context of the palestinians, riley conflict. but if you do know, it will be clear how apologetic it is to israel, or how about when the bbc presenter came under fire. when describing israel's attacks and gaza as murders, it was a whole or deal on his own to the point where the prime ministers spokesperson was even demanding complaints to be made directly to the broadcaster. impartiality in reference to the bbc is absolutely paramount. complete should be raised to the bbc to off come in the usual ways if people feel they have issue with the way in which the bbc reported that. more broadly though, e's real is an ally of the u. k is the victim of brutal terror attack and clearly has a right to defend itself. we should all be careful without words at this time, particularly given heightened,
2:08 pm
coming to tensions in the u. k. that same spokesperson highlighted that prime minister wishes to not would not have used the word murder to describe those tens of thousands of that's in gaza. no worries that everyone else came quick to israel rescue even by the bbc standards. this is shocking buzz. israel does not targets the villains, the country is defending itself from a brutal tyra tag and making strenuous efforts not to harm civilians. the bbc should watch an immediate investigation into the slate just example of an on to is ro statement by one of its present as outrages biased from the bbc as well as the nation being its act. the actual victims seeking to defend themselves from further attacks bite, saturdays, have the stated aim of the store in israel and keeping juice. i suppose the less than here is try to challenge that policies or say one wrong word about israel and you're going to be a disgrace. there's been some control to say about was i used when i was
2:09 pm
interviewing the 4 and secretary. my final question was about the bas, the morality of the government's position. in particular, the risk that their position could appear to look like active support for israel when it is under attack, but nothing other than words when israel attacks the mode is tens of thousands of innocent palestinians. i should have been clearer that i was not expressing my own view, let alone that of the bbc. when i use the words murderous double standards, hypocrisy is freedom of speech even will in their world at this point. or is it just the facade they're using to have continued to scold every other nation on which page whenever they see fit. ok to another over a headline stories today, the prime minister of georgia sees the government will not screw up its foreign agents bill despite the criticism coming from certain countries that's as protestors have gathered outside the parliament building in the capital subleasing
2:10 pm
for a 3rd day in a row demonstrators wave george in the easiest line says they contend the legislation, which is aim to providing more transparency about the foreign funding of and use media outlets in the country. today's ongoing raleigh appears peaceful so far that protests turn violent yesterday. notice demonstrators flushed with the as well on that day on choose, they are corresponding, dolo quarter was detained by george and authorities upon arrival in tbilisi to
2:11 pm
cover the ongoing protest. now, he just a timeline that he was eventually deported back to russia after being held at the airport for hours and done, broke down the story to my colleague nikki, are in here in the studio. shortly after his return to moscow, i have dual citizenship, a russian passport, an american passport. i gave them my russian passport as so i entered as a russian citizen and there was quite a bit of time that went by a for just kind of sitting there. and i was like, is there a problem? and she said that there was a that the system that they were using didn't want to accept my document. i thought that was kinda strange, nothing like that. it never happened to me before. but she just asked me to wait for a little while one hour went by 2 hours ago by nobody's explaining why i have why i'm still waiting. obviously, a program doesn't take that long to load up, but no information has been given to me and by 3 hours i'm, i'm starting to already message our producer in moscow saying, you know, i think it's time to get in touch with the russian foreign ministry with the
2:12 pm
embassy in group in georgia because something isn't right here. this is never happened to me before. and it's a good thing we did that because just about an hour after we decided that for 4 hours total me waiting for this a suppose a glitch in the system. they come up to me with a piece of paper, half georgia and half english. and it's a list of reasons why someone might be refused from the country and a little check mark next to other on the paper they said, i'm not being allowed into the country. i'm like, uh, you know, what, what is this other reason? can you explain in detail what, what the problem is? and they said no. and so after that they were like, okay, well, we're supporting you and they brought me to a separate room and they took away my phone without any explanation as to why or if i would get it back. and then i waited it out there essentially until 11 pm. no information, not knowing what's going on. i mean, you know, especially since they didn't give me an, an actual concrete reason. but luckily, they actually letting me go at the 11 p. m, when they said they would,
2:13 pm
they brought me to the plane during my passport back and my phone. and then i was able to make it back to rush at like 4 in the morning. and i'm very happy to be back in fresh answer, although it's good to have you back done. so you're doing no official reason why you need it to be just the put the posted from georgia. but what possible reasons could that be? do you think? well, i think in hindsight, looking at everything, the main reason was probably because i was going there while this on rest, connected to this for an agencies bill that the trip that they're passing through parliament was going on. i was there last year when the parliament tried and ultimately failed to pass a very similar law. and there were riots on the streets protest. apparently, i'm my guess is that the authorities didn't want me to cover that for some reason. maybe they thought the, my coverage made the georgia government look bad or something. i'm not sure. so the reason we wanted to send you to was that to cover the protest, we wanted to know exactly what was going on. but now as you come guys, okay, do we have any idea of what the situation is right now on the ground?
2:14 pm
well, protests are continuing. of course we have seen some reports of, you know, violence. we've got a lot of official reactions as well. for example, the president of georgia who was a very western oriented she said that after she was asked by a journalist, if she would veto this bill, when it goes through parliament, she said she absolutely will do all you going to veto the little. because if it does indeed powerful the stages of parliament as president of the nation, you do have the right to usual rico to. i mean these are going to be slow as i'm weak the all the other low. so that's not to, i don't think it's triple strategy at school age recommendations of the, in your opinion. it is pretty obvious though, with the georgian present deciding that she's going to veto this legislation that she's really just putting on a show. because even she herself said earlier that if she would go through with a veto of this bill, it's very likely that because of the massive support that it has from george and parliament,
2:15 pm
it would just get over written by the georgian parliament. and this legislation would go through anyway, so i guess we have to ask the question, who is she putting on a show for me? i would say her western patrons were the loudest voices outside of georgia, calling this for and agency legislations, some sort of pro russian legislation or anything. contradiction with western values, the same countries that are funding and sponsoring these non n g o is non governmental organizations in georgia that are basically manipulating public opinion against russia and china. the most recent comment we have is from the use policy, cheap foreign policy chief brother joseph perone. we transparency of foreign influence. little is not in line with e. you norms and values. if adult that it will limit csl and media away again, freedom of expression, we urge leaders to refrain from adults and legislation to can compromise george's e path. the main thrust behind this legislation with just means that organizations would have to register in
2:16 pm
a government database that they received over 20 percent of their income from foreign sources. and this is not something that's specific to georgia. i mean, the european union itself has similar for an agency legislation. it's just they call it a defensive democracy package, not an actual for an agencies law. and if we look at the united states, there's been a for an agencies law there as well. since the mid 20th century, actually. so there's plenty of western countries that have legislation like this that are aimed at controlling for an influence in the country. so despite all these, you know, georgian liberals and western politicians and figures saying that this has something to do with russia. it looks far from it of the, the you in and you could are watched on. she said he's concerned about israel. mike target remain new to our facilities in response to this law. make republics recent strikes on the jewish state. were veteran u. s. foreign policy hawk john bolton,
2:17 pm
he's pushing for those very facilities to be had. he alluded to an a legit nuclear weapons program. that's around house, repeatedly denied pursuit. i think among many targets these real should consider, this is the opportunity to destroy iran's nuclear weapons program. and i help president biden is not trying to dissuade prime minister netanyahu from doing that . well, uh is rid of ways it's response to last weekend's retaliatory large scale drone and rocket. a sold by around town has warned against further escalation the it's really prime minister insist his forces will hit buck when and how they deem fit across in the us. some lawmakers i've called on washington to help israel palm around, but that position is not sufficiently shared by the white house. but let's take this further with that, i guess on a strategic offers expert side mohammed ali. you're most welcome to the program. not following to drums,
2:18 pm
retaliation for the deadly bombing of bits. consulate in syria on april 1st is realize no setting it sites on the run itself. come benjamin netanyahu, tom, he be persuaded to de escalate the situation of the stage. do thanks. as i think of the positive sign is that most of the international powers are trying to dissuade him from escalating further and tearing off in the back of your job. however, i think there are new pressures at the domestic level. why i believe that the might get all of you to that pressure and get, you know, that one is from the military itself. who's ego and self respect has been that they didn't get off to the wrong unit. not because they're in the habit of the dominating the smaller neighbors,
2:19 pm
but it on that the they are not to be brought to speak and then they will the, the, if is way ross is it's red line. what the real reason, why is ryan is not likely to listen to the bushes. advice from the national community is the ideological and political motive and personal interests all crime, descript, benjamin jones, political future. because his 30 year old political carrier have really depends on his rhetoric against it wrong and for and the upcoming elections. the perhaps one's present himself as the 1st one is really prime minister who had the courage, directly attacked it and get woods from the walls and trusting the u. s. president, reportedly talk fee is really liter. ards, of immediately heading back up around side. why do you think the by the
2:20 pm
administration would do that given what's being called the demonized ation of this law make republic would be not b. c thing, none to this very popular question. i think the real reason is that the, the west believes that its commitment against the containment of china project as part of the, in the speak strategy, as well as a, it's attempt to sustain the war effort in the green and its security coming into its natal uh makes it very difficult for the us speed up the front. so it believes that the us national security combustion makes it difficult for washington. the sustain $31.00 to decree and one frosting friends at the same time. they feel the defense boss to it and get to believe even
2:21 pm
before would spread. if uh, this is ryan, i create another conflict. no, that is real, has come under a direct strike from a run for the 1st time in history. to what extent, if i can put it in this way, do some western countries perhaps now have a have a convenient excuse to keep arming? the idea? i think that's uh, unfortunate. uh, but uh, i think uh on one side. definitely, you israel, as the mean, the policeman on behalf of the western pars, in the middle eastern region. how ever it on after this retaliation against israel has the money as a willing and capable come to we to control a sense of balance, a bar in the, the middle east region, which i think should interest both must flow in the game. if they do not want
2:22 pm
is ready to completely dominate, you know, the region and he's human eyes all the smaller neighbors as it like. we have the world really for what 6 months now, pretty much enabled to stop and israel's operation. it's assaults on gallons, a given that am totally come. the international community have the golf, the power. how big got the where with all to to bring a box at a stop. a host of police to watch is going to be on folding in the middle east, particularly as regards israel's next actions. so i think the honestly it's really if you look at the 75, your long history of israel. unfortunately, of the never a given much e to international law or diplomacy. and they have always relied on hardball to
2:23 pm
dominate the region. however, the only 2 reasons which would possibly, or potentially constrain or re screen that would be from escalating denson spit it on the r. it's realize the action that perhaps the international community may not sustain and support. uh, it's a target escalation against that. hit on and secondly that it will not be able to do and, but she gets objectives in gaza as well. and because they would, it's defense both good and full, says against it on and, and the girl them from. 1 these other be real reasons which would possibly can screen and re screen that would be otherwise. i think despite international diplomatic pressure, it is unlikely that they eat, you know,
2:24 pm
let's say that whites. i'm just interested in your view when you hear somebody like, like john bolton saying yes, go after these nuclear sites in around around says we want them for energy other nations. the us primarily says it's about creating nuclear weapons. but the kind of rhetoric, you know, go after go after a country sites like that and the danger, the that then brings to not just the region, but, you know, the, the, the environment, the people, if you do the disaster that kind of merge, you know, where where are the people talking piece, it seems all to be in one direction. so i, i agree with you because i think you're very weird that the investor bolton is no peace me and is a very no. um, republican who has all this advocated taking out the around you good
2:25 pm
program and see if we get the, the tank to lead that advice as must be in the gallery dial going forward so far. uh secondly, i think since your of it that he belongs to the republican party. so he has, uh, it doesn't last too much for it because skeptical and be wants to use the impress of his friends in delta v. and also richard, i the democrat administration, but frankly, good and friendly and sympathetic to the adventurous and dangerous ambitions of the current. uh, nathan, yahoo with the top notch analysis there from strategic it. first expert side mohammed ali live from islam about to say many things. clear things. now the founder of the telegram social media platform, people do it off, has broken his silence to american journalist tucker carlson. giving his 1st
2:26 pm
interview in yours, speaking of his office and to buy the russian board entrepreneur, explain why he couldn't set up shop in the united states. we got too much attention from the, the, at the i, the security agencies, wherever we came to the us. i brought an engineer that is working for telegram and there was an attempt to secretly hire my engineer behind my back by cyber security, all to the officers or agents that were trying to persuade him to use certain open source tools that he would then integrate into the telling us code that the mind the same would serve as backdoors would allow the us government to spy on people who use telegram the u. s. government to maybe any other government because of backstory is a back door regardless of who is using it to. so many interesting things that he mentioned, especially the fact that he had this b. i. agents, as he said,
2:27 pm
show up at his doorstep inquiring about him why he left russia. what telegram is all about entitled to have said that seem like they were trying to establish a relationship with him and the connection. and as we just heard that they were trying to employ a one of his engineers. they're also interested in the fact that he says that he was contacted by both parties asking for completely different things. one was asking to share the data or else the other one say, well, if you share the data, you'll face punishment. that's here after the events of january of the 6, we received a letter from i believe the clinic with many of the democratic side. and they requested that we would share all the data we had in relation to what they called this uprising letter. it seemed very serious and the letter said, you know, if your fail to comply with this request,
2:28 pm
he will be in violation with them in the us constitution. somebody weeks after that, where we got another letter and new other from the republican side of the congress. and there we read that if we give out any data according to the previous request, when would be in violation of the us constitution. so we got to the letters that said, whatever we do with the file, anything serious constitution, it's funny, right? because he left russia and pursued to all of this freedom of speech, which is why he went to the united states. and then that's what he got in return, because just to remind our viewers again, he left the russia sites and government pressure apparently for almost all its ease, back in 2011. so shut down the pages of opposition, politicians back on this one thought c v k,
2:29 pm
which is the equivalence of facebook uh uh, in russia and he was uh, the owner of that back then. so he refused to do that. then a couple of years after that, he said that he got pressure again from us towards he's a to release the data regarding ukrainian protest leaders. and again, he refused to do that and a telegram list, i'll forget, once you've been blocked or rochelle for 2 years, but of course so horror it is quick. they realize that they, it's quite hard to block something these days. i'm sure as you are, but knows as well with r t. so telegram returns and people do of so to, to leave russia in pursuit of his freedom of speech, he tried various countries before the united states. he tried single poor, he tried germany as well in germany, didn't work out for the project reasons because he wasn't aware that your regulations require you to hire local as far as even if he can find it, even if you can't find any one. and then finally, as they realize that us was a disaster, it was even logged in san francisco and he settled and the u. a. but he seems to be
2:30 pm
happy. so in his proceeds to provide this platform that offers a, you know, a voice that if every person, regardless of use how they succeeded. yes, he calls it a neutral platform and that they only supposedly sensor child pornography or terrorism something really violent. and then he said, come to e u pressure and band arts, these channels, for example, especially in europe. so is there a nearby cannot on telegram read ortiz channels. if you are a rush and, and in other countries, you can. but that in itself shows and proves that telegram is not unusual and they're going by what e u officials want them to do? actually, the most pressured who received was not from the country is government agencies. it was from apple and google, and let's not forget that some ports in the why, because you need apple or google to download telegrams. so this is what he had to say about the pressure.
