1:05 pm
on the windows anyone who would dare to criticize you edith ortiz could face arrest could be disappeared. you know the situation there in terms of respect for basic rights respect for the right to free expression free association for use and means absolutely. latif as lawyers have filed a complaint with the united nations in the hopes that it will help free her. if the teacher is alive and we can get around the magnitude of this for women's rights in the whole of the middle east he's groundbreaking. changes about le t. for was aiming for and she wanted to flee to torture and control of her country especially when it comes to women's rights and basic freedoms. that report from date of these paula you still beach's she's with us now to tell us more hi paula thanks for joining us you followed the story closely
1:06 pm
a lot of people might think this is a princess who might have a privileged life what was it that made her attempt to flee well most importantly she wanted to live a life of her own not restricted by her father and his conservative rules we spoke to her lawyer who said that she couldn't for example just go out with side lay under the stars alone she was always chaper and and this is something that we take for granted while this isn't uncommon in these countries to have such security measures for prince this is what's made latif as life really unbearable within the family is this is what she saw happen to her sister so her sister broke these rules that were put there by her father she tried to escape and then she was jailed and she was tortured for that for that so far really saw the true face of her father and she wanted to live somewhere else so that's what she tried to do how are you able to confirm that the details of this story about are true so we have the
1:07 pm
witness reports from the people that i spoke to they showed us the messages from latif from the time when she was on the boat and also the g.p.s. data from the boat which we verified and it corresponds to their story and also what latif i spoke about in her video she talked about her experiences in the past about the church here in the past so it also gives credibility to the most recent events where do things stand with latif and now is there any hope that she will be freed well her friends have real concerns about her well being since no one has seen of her they think she's probably locked up somewhere in dubai heavily medicated obviously without any access to the outside world but that being said there is still hope her friends would be doing what they're doing right now if they had lost all hope so there they have been talking to the u.n. this is an organization that has been successful in pressuring hughey to release their detainees. before so there certainly is hope you mentioned her sister she so this has happened before yes exactly even though these cases don't always involve
1:08 pm
the royal family members such disappearances of government critics in the u.a.e. are quite common as human rights watch has reported on such cases so and what is most concerning is that usually these people who are detained they don't stand a chance for a trial or a fair fair trial at least and this is actually a violation of several international treaties. paula you still rich i thank you very much for keeping track of that story for us. lawmakers have demanded better data protection and privacy measures from facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg face questioning at the european parliament in brussels in the wake of a massive data scandal at the company but a byzantine committee process meant of a did some probing questions even if you made sure to apologize for the social media giants glaring failures lots of fake soccer birds demonstrating in front of the european institutions. but inside the parliament not so much the hearing of the
1:09 pm
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 parliamentarians fought back and managed to have the hearing that took place right here in this room live 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 was a mistake and i'm sorry for it. the start of an interesting debate about not really the european parliamentarians used up most of the time to ask dozens of questions
1:10 pm
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 took the question 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
1:11 pm
a bitter aftertaste for the way the european parliament handled it and for the answers it got from zuckerberg. football now and english premier league club arsenal have appointed overnight emery as their new head coach the spaniard replacing arson venner after he stepped down following twenty two years in the role and we have emily rushes from the sports with us and you probably weren't even alive the last time arsenal point to coach i was probably in diapers but yeah that was definitely unusual that when mr at the club so long so it's exciting times for the world of football it's a big change for arsenal so every support point and rather it comes as somewhat of a surprise actually just last week reports that former arsenal captain make i take to seemed certain to take over instead the london club have gone for emery's greater experience he won three europa league titles with sylvia as well as the french league and cup with paris on tour much less than. so what does
1:12 pm
a night emory bring yeah so he's a basket that's made a name for himself in europe over the past five years or so he's relatively young and he's obsessed with tactics so much he loves video analysis his former players even complain about that he uses it so much and he was already good in his first ten years as a head coach with smaller spanish sides such as on media but his he really made the headlines with sylvia when he won the europa league three times in a row from twenty fourteen to twenty sixteen no other club has managed to win the competition back to back like that so he brings a lot of experience but it still comes as somewhat a surprise doesn't it i mean we said that tape that was being considered for this post yeah it was packed to take over he the former arsenal captain is currently an assistant coach at manchester city under pep guardiola and he knows arsenal inside out so he was kind of the ideal candidate to step in but the thing about macau ted says that he doesn't have experience as a manager and they really wanted to bring someone in it seems that had more international experience and as you can see in the tweet where they announced him they said they specifically wrote head coach and not manager now the thing is emery
1:13 pm
really supposed to focus on tactics and making the players perform unlike before wenger and probably attempt to would have also been really involved in the club decision making event or was in the role for twenty two years as we said and this club has stalled in many ways what can fans realistically expect going forward yeah a fresh start a clean slate that's kind of what the club was signalize ing by bringing in emery he's a he's a new guy with no affiliation to the club his new ideas he's supposed to make take the players to the top of the premier league again all right and lee rush it's a covering this story for us from fourth thank you very much emily. now with just over three weeks till the start of football's world cup in russia the host nation has received some good news for has to clear there is insufficient evidence to prove that any anti-doping violation was committed by members of russia's world cup squad german media this week alleged atypical test results have been covered up by russia but following
