toughest grilling yet for the social media giants balls instead lawmakers consumed all of the time with statements and questions leaving little for answers from zucker burr or despite that the facebook c.e.o. made sure to apologize for the social media companies worst still. lots of fake zuckerberg demonstrating in front of the european institutions. but inside the parliament not so much the hearing of the facebook c.e.o. was supposed to take place behind closed doors so that gave some the impression that the privacy of mr zuckerberg was more important than the privacy of facebook users but some e.u. parliamentarians fought back and managed to have the hearing that took place right here in this room life streamed so everyone could see how mark zuckerberg apologized for digital facebook tools causing real world problems once again

we haven't done enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm as well. and that goes for fake news foreign interference in elections and developers misusing people's information. we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility now is a mistake and i'm sorry for it to the start of an interesting debate not really the european parliamentarians used up most of the time to ask dozens of questions with zuckerberg sitting there quietly for nearly an hour in the end this questionable procedure worked to his advantage because he got to pick and choose those questions he answered now what we're doing is taking a much more proactive approach rather than waiting for people in the community to flag for us that there may be issues we are going through in investigating ourselves up front all the different apps that had access to a large amount of information but with time many parliamentarians felt like they

didn't get the information they wanted i am quite disappointed by his appearance here in the european parliament and i think that his company did the european parliament serious and told him to come but he didn't really talk to questions serious which we had to pose and i think that he lost a lot of credibility tonight and the ability to also reste or trust with european consumers in the end the hearing left a bitter aftertaste for the way that european parliament handled it and for the answers it got from zuckerberg. arliss pulling our correspondent montas he was covering the story for us today's in brussels tonight good evening to you georg i have to pick up on what we just heard that european lawmakers there that lost credibility today how can he say that i mean zuckerberg basically had zero time to answer all of the long winded questions and statements that lawmakers presented him

with today what happened. i think the key problem we had is that for months this hearing was constructed under just been ill choose and so he yes there were some good questions on the part of the lawmakers yes they took way too much time so that was one problem but they had they had some good questions but then second part was given the opportunity not only to give an opening statement where he could make that apology but also to use the rest of that hearing as a platform to repeat basically the opening statement and to maneuver around the tricky questions which he did quite effectively i mean it certainly wasn't much of a grilling so what did answer and there were a number of interesting details for instance on the issue of fake accounts which

which is a big problem he said that thirty thousand or even a buff thirty thousand of those fake accounts just in the run up of the french elections were taken down and that they are focusing on that issue he also talked about artificial intelligence would stay use to track down terrorists intent on on facebook but on the bigger questions that the underlying questions if you want how censorship works targeted advertisement all of the those remained unanswered and subsequently lawmakers were rather unhappy at the end but they're also partly to be blamed for that kind of format a missed opportunity missed opportunity i think is the best way we've heard all day to sum up what happened we know that mark zuckerberg is going around the world he's been trying to limit the damage from this huge data scandal connected with cambridge analytic a did this appearance today did it help him or did it hinder him

. that's an interesting question depends there are two ways of looking at it one is it helped him because he used it as a platform he knew he could shift around those questions because he knew the questions and answers were separated on the other hand there was one key question from one of the lawmakers and he said convince me why we should not break you down what can with me why you're not a monopolist and he missed that chance had he answered all these questions pressing questions about face book he could have named a competitor that was one of the questions he did not answer in front of congress he did not answer it in front of the european parliament so if you look at it from this perspective the european parliament has not the power to really do something against you to really break down facebook but the e.u. zante trust body in the commission has that power and pressure is growing now in that direction that movement should be made in that direction to regulate facebook

more or even break it down right or gay or monstrous on the story for us tonight in brussels thank you very much. well delta over next month's scheduled summit between the leaders of north korea and the united states are growing today u.s. president donald trump warned of a possible delay as he welcomed his south korean counterpart mungy into the white house the two discussed a trade between their countries and upcoming talks with north korea trump said that he still believes north korean leader kim jong un is serious about denuclearization but the planned summit he says could still fall apart over disagreements on the details of negotiations are moving along and we'll see what happens there are certain conditions that we want and i think we'll get those conditions and if we don't we don't have the meeting and frankly it has a chance to be a great great meeting for north korea and a great meeting for the world. if it doesn't happen maybe it will happen later

maybe it will happen it is different but we will see. our washington bureau chief alexander phenomena has more now from the white house this meeting today between the south korean president and you as president actually managed to find humor in a joint strategy for dealing with the north korean leader during this planned summits and now it seems to have become more of a crisis session and really remarkable that president trump for the very first time has admitted that this summit may not take place on june twelfth that it's may be delayed and we have to understand that we have to remind ourselves what happened last week the white house was caught off guard when the north koreans fired of a string of inflammatory statements against you as condemning the latest you as

south korean military drills in the region saying that they are not going to take to participate in a meeting with south koreans and then threatening to cancel their planned summit with donald trump and since them since then we have to say that advisers have become increasingly skeptical that kim jong un is really committed to pledges to seriously discussed a new clothes ation so actually what happened today it's not coming as a huge surprise. there was alexander phenomena reporting from the white house here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world civil servants have burned an effigy of french president during a protest against his economic reforms in paris clashes between police and hundreds of masked youths erupted on the sidelines of the march police detained at least twenty people protesters had to suspend the march until the situation was brought under control an explosion in the southern afghan city of kandahar has killed at
