actually an undercover journalist and it turns out the man works for a children's charity he's completely unaware that the meeting is being secretly filmed as part of the german t.v. show a cool tattled internet and if exposing the danger is a sexual predator online in the very beginning we expected it expected to have been to have a very specific. person to be imagined you know what you would really usually magine as a sexual predator you know the guy with the glasses and more hair and you know the old old guy but we've met people from all kinds of society those who have praised the show say that the authorities should have been in film straight away especially as in this case the man worked with children and that the show's designed a big ratings is the primary mates of asian people who took the video clip took the clip in may and broadcast it in october now and in between there was no
12:05 pm
information for any. investigative. officials for police and not for the employer or employer as well but the producers argued that the reason for having to keep the identity of the men they film secret is due to a major leak hole in the law. chatting on the internet with a child even about cirqus is almost never considered a crime but it is left very unclear what exactly constitutes a criminal action. shockingly under current law unless there is an actual physical assault there's not much that can be done and it's an international problem with many experts openly acknowledging that guidelines are in desperate need of clarification instead grooming is not a new thing nomen and and as a number of children going online so it is a danger and the scariest part is that right now there's not much that the police
12:06 pm
can do to protect them it seems shaders how often within minutes of going into an online chat range praising as a young girl sexual advances were amazed if we can succeed with the goal of really changing the law making the approach of minors online for cyber grooming. under. restriction we can avoid those people tracing the surface r.t. . well still ahead for you here on r.t. . russia are celebrating national unity day holiday with a stark relief but also allows people of different social and political if it is to share their ideas. for the first time ever the u.s. is coming under review by the u.n. human rights council as the body continues to a sas the performance of all the u.n. members while the scrutiny won't be easy for the u.s. as the list of concerns over its domestic and foreign human rights record continues
12:07 pm
to grow well to discuss this we have chandra but nagar from the american civil liberties union joining us on the line live from geneva thanks for being with us the u.s. will undergo a crucial leg sam on its human rights record do you think the obama administration is prepared to speak out on many uncomfortable issues kuantan nomo drones in afghanistan and pakistan the latest wiki leaks in iraq are they going to talk about these things first of all thank you for having me on your program we are hopeful that the u.s. engagement with the emirates council and with the universal periodic review process will lead to greater action in terms of domestic and international human rights implementation a by the united states the u.s. has for a long time held itself out as a moral leader in the world already in the protection and promotion of human rights and the universal periodic review allows for real examination as you described of the u.s. record and as we as civil liberties and human rights advocates are calling on the obama administration to match its rhetoric with action with concrete action to
12:08 pm
protect and defend human rights but do you think that will actually happen does what i asked. well we are we are cautiously optimistic we have been we were obviously grateful that the obama administration joined him rights council we are grateful that they've taken the ubi our process seriously there are some very well felt well reasoned and thoughtful questions that have been put forward including by the russian federation regarding the treaty compliance issue the fact that the united states has yet to ratify major human rights treaties like the convention on the elimination of discrimination against women the convention the rights of the child the convention to on economic social and cultural rights just to name a few and we're hopeful that with the recommendations of the work you various council coming out of the process the obama administration's race really will take these issues very seriously moving forward what do you think the most severe accusations the u.s. will have to face. well some of these questions we were at the scene there have been some advance questions submitted by by countries in advance of the review
12:09 pm
including by the russian federation and the issue of torture for example is a question that was raised by the russian federation we think very appropriately as it stands now in the united states sadly in the in the so-called war on terror victims of torture and rendition have been denied their day in court the federal government has been able to use judicially created dr and including what's called state secrets privilege to prevent civil lawsuits alleging torture. and degrading treatment and this is something that has prevented victims of torture from even having a day in court even having the opportunity to have their grievance heard so our hope is that these issues will be. will be discussed in the us will have to explain these issues and we will be able to pass legislation domestically which would limit the ability of the united states to use the state secrets privilege and qualified immunity to allow victims of torture to have their day in court and also to for the government to affirmatively prosecute perpetrators of torture yet as you your
12:10 pm
viewers may be aware in the last few days we've heard that former president bush had given an approval of waterboarding and as as his wrecking internationally recognized waterboarding as a form of torture and so we are hoping that the obama administration and those in government will prosecute or those who engage in torture and those who ordered torture it seems like you have some pretty high optimistic views of how this is all going to turn out but what's the realistic impact of such a u.n. investigation can it really influence the reputation or the behavior of the u.s. when it comes out to what's actually going to happen. that's a that's a really important question i mean we obviously are optimistic we want to give the obama administration the opportunity to engage in this process this is the first time us has appeared before the review but there are concrete things that we think can be achieved in the very short term for example another question that was raised by the russian federation and will be raised by other nations we believe is the
12:11 pm
issue of human rights implementation in the united states the u.s. currently does not have a domestic human rights implementation mechanism a human rights commission if you will and so our desire is that the obama administration will work with congress to chant to transform the what we have is a commission on civil rights transform that into a civil and human rights commission which will really be before of implementing human rights in the domestic context and that deal president obama will issue an executive order which would require all the governmental agencies to work together . to link and to be tasked with human rights implementation that's something that they can do in the very short term in addition i might add as i do wish you all about sherlock bhatnagar a staff attorney at the american civil liberties union we've run out of time thanks for being with us. thanks so much for. now georgia plans to revamp its elling agricultural industry by inviting new farmers from south africa but wars are a minority there and the georgian government believes they would find better

12:13 pm
know most of the people in my village just struggling with it about what the georgian government has introduced a policy it says will turn all this around it's encouraging huge numbers of south african farmers to come here bringing fresh ideas and expertise but the plans have been met with stiff opposition in the fields of agriculture and politics alike to go to resources for discipline our government is conducting a policy of the trail of their own country our farmers will be forced to abandon their lines because the kind of afford to farm it they don't produce enough to sustain themselves let alone sell anything to make a profit. the government appears to be ploughing alone far on this issue but it's shrugged off all criticism and believes the scheme will revive an ailing industry or sarwari well. going to culture. they are best farmers one of the best farmers in the wall with each one of months ago we showed them the opportunities what they would have if they would come in here there
12:14 pm
may be an influx of as many as forty thousand boers who'll be able to buy as much land as they want but that idea does not go over well with everyone georgian farmers say they feel they're being pushed out of their land by their own government and south african boers don't know what to expect from the land or people and efforts to resolve that will be easy given the distances between the two countries currently south african farmers knowledge about agriculture in their potential new home is sketchy at best they weed industry. that's supposed to be this type of food if i remember correctly they produce anything percent of the. meat but this seat is eight years old but i never heard of the hybrid seeds selected bit the seeds the first south african farmers are expected to arrive next year and once that happens georgian farmers who may lose the land that feeds them
