look the families wanted to do this they wanted to have something inclusive the girl scouts don't provide that or you're their daughter doesn't want to participate in those programs now one of the exam i want to sort of rebut to her letter and the view of kind of nasty little thing going on here the idea that same set sex education is better for girls she says that the people keep repeating this idea that says research has shown that girls do better research shows that kids do better in same sex and educational environment so boys and girls separately that's not true it's not scientifically proven it has it like the the data for that is inconclusive at it this is the statement saying is really telling the thousands over three or four thousand young girls have signed up for these programs now and what they're the thing with the girl scouts don't realize is that what you're doing is shaming them and saying they're not being a girl you're literally sitting there saying your not the right kind of feminist

you are not the right kind of of girl you're doing it wrong you don't belong with the dirty icky boys they have cooties. which is really unsettling for me because they don't have a whole they can't act like they're so far ahead they were two years ahead of the boy scouts the girl scouts were about letting in gay troop leaders and transgender students they really only put in a real set actual step program last year where guys have had a lot of the boy scouts have a much bigger i you know it in full disclosure i was a boy scout explorer back in the day when i was in my twenty years well you know and i honestly it's just it's the programs are different and look i always go back to the basic thing it's kind of like free market it's like look if your organization can't compete and both boys and girls want to go join the scouts your boys then you need to change your organization and make it more likely to wear girls want to come here and stuff like that it's simple i saw the big deal with it you know if you believe in your program. just be about your program you know i mean

i'm sure the man would love to get in on some of that cookie money right you know i'm sure the boy scouts really hey we'd love to sell some of those cookies there you are no fun facts real quick about the iraqi money the girl scout troops that sell them only get about seventy five to eighty cents for every four dollars box of cookies most of the rest of that goes back to the main organization that does not give any funds to local. troops but it's important also no doubt that this kind of patriarchy hurts the boys too because it in two thousand and eleven gender and context content and approach compared gender messages and girl scout and boy scout handbooks by kathleen e. denny and the university of maryland they found that the programs were still pushing these very outdated gender roles to both sexes only two percent of girls got activities include science well six percent of boy scout programs do while six percent of boy scout programs were related while eleven percent growth scout activities were really so you see these like you know the differences here the

study also point out that the negotiation between traditional progressive feminine identities is a problematic balance for girls today the gender messages being communicated the girl scouts appear to be preparing girls to one day take on the dual roles of devoted worker and some of those mother while the boys handbook communicates clear messages about how to role normative masculinity and scientific rather than an artistic orientation to me let everybody learn whatever they want so that they themselves individually can have happy fruitful lives and this is leave gender out of it thank you all right which is what we do is we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter so our poll shows that r t dot com coming up we question the trustworthiness of base focus facebook questions the trustworthiness of the news thankfully we have political commentator steve malzberg to help sort out all of this trustworthiness so stay tuned to watching the.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten light colored timestamping each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trades per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only. level of loss selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings in most of the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles faced on the phone you socks by to tell you that some because of the public my files are the most important today. i'm

not the bad guys i'm telling you i'm not cool enough to buy their product please. things are the hawks that we along with our audience will watch fox. you know according to marketing studies the average american spends over two hundred hours a year on facebook with generational differences in the millennial smartphone addiction obviously driving that number much higher for younger americans but it's not just cat videos and vacation photos that we consume on america's biggest social media platform according to pew research forty five percent of americans turn to facebook to get their news with a staggering twenty percent saying it's their only source for news now with that in mind and may be of some concern that facebook c.e.o.

mark zuckerberg announced this week a new system to rank news outlets by trustworthiness and tasks thousands of human sensors and computer algorithms with deciding what qualifies as fake news or propaganda and if the new found passion for moderating the human mind is a mouse zuckerberg has also endeavored to moderate the heart as well announcing a new dating service targeting giants tender and ok cupid so to parse this is a bold move as we've brought in none other than political commentator ed bowl lose moderator steve. lack of saying what are they going to sell girl scout cookies on facebook that's the question because now i have a paying for thin mints after the letter i know the guy only telling about that is a mo as a man i said. before going on the first of the show and let's cut to the chase mark zuckerberg and many legislature legislators are implying that platforms like facebook and other social media which have this responsibility to police the accuracy are legitimate is legitimate city of news posts just like they would hate

speech or calls for violence now in your opinion as a long time news media better is that social media's job is that base books job. no because who the heck is facebook i mean i know that it's kind of rhetorical question to me they're a bunch of leftists in my view and what they've been doing since they changed their algorithms back in january of two thousand and seventeen according to two separate reports out last month conservative sites and conservative pundits and news organizations have seen ahead of fourteen percent less traffic and liberal sites and the like have seen an increase of two percent so i know what their goal is and it was obvious that those hearings to you bring in politicians you know they they brought up to diamond and silver and other examples of conservatives who were suspended or or part is sure lost their account and they said could you name any liberals who suffered that same fate he could name anybody i mean it's obvious what's going on here it's censorship of conservatives but is there really

conservatism and i will agree with you that definitely there has been a concerted effort i think those algorithms and that sort of community police theory of of our political correctness that's what's caused a lot of that is you have a lot of sort of far left activists who are very good at going in and just sort of reporting everything and they do it to me too to the surface of the world communist youth organization and things like that to have been a you see this kind of happening on both sides crew which is interesting because nobody trusts that you know the biggest irony of this whole conundrum is that while facebook is taking the role of this objective judge of trustworthy as it was to me as kind of a joke as someone who's also used to work a digital media might come on many people don't trust the social media platform the ability ability to do that and a recent hugo poll actually reveals that over sixty percent of users don't trust facebook when it comes to questions of integrity and privacy with all of this sort

of perception how can facebook even take on such an ambitious role as. to educate all of us about what's right and wrong to me it's cold it's cold could spot i mean it's a shell game he with it look at all we found out about facebook so much so that they that zuckerberg had to go before congress and now all by the way now we're going to judge what's news now it's our responsibility says our responsibility to to bring the country together to have a common set of accepted news facts to make sure we're not polarized as a nation to support sure no lism really that's your role all of a sudden who says you say i mean these asia saying don't look over here look over here it's very dangerous and you know he's a liberal. i know you don't want to go to that liberal conservative i'll go further yet they'll be extreme left newsgroups and news sources that will be punished as

well i'll agree with that because he and is a which won't be ready for five to ten years so his thousands of people that he'll hire to judge what's fake news watch hate speech they're going to pick what they think it is and it's going to be a biased view the whole thing is totally totally nuts and smacks of the worst kind of censorship that and i will say this about i'll say this on the left right issue i don't think any anyone should call themselves a leftist or think that they're liberal if they're out there stealing people's user data and not respecting privacy above all things because to me that's a very left idea of my my privacy is my privacy and i don't care who you are even if you're the cops like for me i'm like he's such a liberal i can't even think you know i mean it's interesting because facebook's investment in news moderation is going to rely on this combination of human the value waiters and artificial intelligence which to me sparks this interesting question who do you trust more or rather less you know in judging what is real news

or news or are newsworthy you know the potentially. biased human who is going to make decisions based on what they believe or a computer algorithm which is going to make mistakes because it's a computer algorithm designed by people so here is the thing if only everybody was as honest and smart as the three of us here the fact of the matter is though seriously the fact of the matter is when somebody says well it's our responsibility we're going to determine what's news we're going to make sure that no fake news is there we're going to judge what hate speech is well then you know what just say according to us this is what we believe is fake news this is what we believe it's a speech and we're not going to let you see it if you want to see everything then go somewhere else that's why i respect him if he said that but to make believe that he and his minions are the opera ters and the judges in the grand scheme of things of what you and i in

a democracy should see because he said so that's not yeah that's not free speech at the end of the it's not freedom of the process and it's not it goes directly against the constitution because now granted facebook is a private business like you said and you can jump onto it if you want to you can jump off the roads or so they do have that right as a private business to do i just don't like the fact that you have the government and you know mainstream media pressuring them to do this that's what i really upsets me about all this and that actually i was not voting i'm sorry i was going to have but the voting i mean the people on facebook are going to vote and determine who. who is more trustworthy c.n.n. or or or r t and yesterday did just see i think they put it out by mistake or maybe they put out they got caught and they just took it down every post even your own post you had a box to check is this fake speech rights come on and that brings me to this the thing about free speech a good speech to me is a very unsettling term because it's it's it depends on what your perspective is and

one of the most interesting facets about this debate is where does free speech and hate speech again so they say they're going to fix this now. it is you are saying this idea of this these these these buttons saying is this the speech is this the future of free speech where you know the everybody has to decide is this puppy picture politically is i said ok and for a p.g. thirteen audience like what what is the future of the i don't know well let me the end where let me let me say during the campaign i said that if you will if you forget the second amendment which we need said but if you want to be worried about something be worried about the first amendment as i believe hillary was going to go with follow the european model which more and more punish is opinions and free speech and labels that hate speech and throws people in jail if you say something that offends a certain group so i think we were headed in that direction with supreme court nominees that would have come forward from hillary so having said that my little

political spiel there i think this is what the liberals believe in this is natural for zuckerberg and he thinks it's his job to do this well i'm you know i steve i wish we would have seen this kind of like outrage over facebook's action and other you know people over in silicon valley one when when the edward snowden issues came out and they found out that they were just handing over our private data to the n.s.a. without you know we knew violating our personal fourth and fifth amendment rights there you know i wish we would have seen that kind of outrage then the last thing i'm going to ask you about is you know they're not just stopping at moderate moderating knew. mentioned earlier to piers morgan our birds and it's like a bird is intent on moderating our love lives as well matched the owner of dating haps tender and ok cupid so it stocks tumble today on the news that facebook will now enter the dating service steve are you going to are you going to sign up for facebook. servers do you trust what i hear is that you trust them with your love life now well they already have all my information and if you're on it your all

your information so i know you have to sign up but you don't have to give them anything they got it you know i've never full disclosure i'm divorced but i've never. i had the nerve to put my picture on a dating site ever i just never have. and now my picture is already on facebook and like i said they got all my information so who the heck knows but you're right he's pulling a fast one on all these dating sites they're going to suffer they are we got a little bit time left but is there are certain and i know it's free market and all that but is there a certain time when you've got facebook which is has more people involved in the countries on earth you know. is that too big is there a certain point where you have to say you know what we need to kind of break this up this monopoly you could almost call it well i've always advocated and pleaded for some rich conservative to start the counter face of the counter to facebook but they're talking about doing that with google now what exactly what you're saying i

don't know a facebook is going to fall into that maybe down the road if the political climate is right for it will happen well well steve malzberg always a pleasure to have you on thank you for coming on talking with those today love it thank you. seeped in history and culture t has been treating people across the globe for thousands of years but chinese is in a category all its own which is why when new yorker shone on tang couldn't find one place. that served authentic chinese tea in new york she started her own but before opening her new york city tea house tea drunk for business travel to the united province of china to get her tea leaves from ancient times the actual source hiking far into the mountains on steep slopes the leaves are picked cleaned and dried and repaired using ancient techniques to create which calls the pinnacle of teeth culture since it comes from the original source some of the masterpiece produces

a service can only be picked fifteen days out of every year with the help of local farmers so here is to shoot down tang and those following in our path of preserving the past by bringing it back into the present so i like that look there's things that we can learn from the past those things the techniques and i do use and philosophies even the existed thousands of years ago but if they still work book and they still work and you've got to study the past the best prepare yourself for the future you know i think it's a lefty you know a good cup of tea you can't complain they're all right i haven't had a hope that is ours over to everybody remember in this world we are told that we are above the knob so i told the wall i love you i robot turtle and i'm top of the wall this keep on watching those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody.

in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and that's a guard at the fort knox d.l.'s which costumes i hear opponents play so well all the science is controlled by them and they imposed the opening time so it was. these forms all plus the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe must to pieces by artists like pecans oh and modigliani i can't boards and soon the scientists warehouse that's where the report comes in it covers up deals which are naturally discreet commercially discreet strict but also discreet because they concern fraud from some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets

a kept inside the geneva freeport system plus all the time that you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the wounds like most of the our business. price perceives news and so if you have fake prices you end up with a fake. seller here when you have manipulation of markets and there if you have if you have interest rates at zero and you can borrow money at zero percent and have an unlimited credit line and you can muscle prices around it well that creates fake prices and then if you have robots reporting on fake prices on the financial media as for stuff then the robots are going to report on the fake crisis driven by the fake news created by robots and you have a virtual or a not so virtual cycle of fake news and fake prizes and then that people interpret that as reality. join me every

thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. german police raid a migrant center where a group of refugees have aggressively forced officers to release an asylum seeker earlier this week. russia's foreign minister says he has evidence that

iran violated that for the fifty nuclear agreement it needs to handed over to the international atomic energy agency immediately. century old boy scouts of america group snow for gender neutral name changes are proposed to start thinking girls next year move to play the debate around political correctness. there is a great deal of evidence to suggest that only boys want to do traditionally male activities and only girls want to do traditionally female activities people are afraid that there are changes and the boys like to do boys stuff and girls like to do girl stuff it's that this stick and stroke. here moscow welcome thanks for choosing out international first place current at a major raid of migrant center in the south of the country after scores of asylum

seekers forcibly prevented the deportation of a total easement on monday the group reportedly attacked officers and their vehicles before helping that individual in to escape peter all of our europe correspondent has the details. well if we start on monday with the incident and kick this all off it started when police in the southwestern german town of. gartin but important book arrived at this refugee center with the intention of taking away a twenty three year old man from originally from tonga for togo a big part of who is about to be deported now as they arrive to do that crowds of people start arriving saying you should be set free those crowds got bigger and bigger we're hearing one hundred fifty plus refugees surrounding the police in their car that was there and we hear from the police that this was a particularly aggressive crowd that threats were being shouted the police officers eventually for air fearing for their safety well they released the man and then

retreated now the police chiefs haven't condemned those officers they've said that they what they described was a really horrific situation a potentially dangerous situation that they were right to pull out there now three days later thursday we saw a major police raid take place now we're hearing as many as two hundred police were involved in this and they detained that twenty three year old along with seventeen other people but speaking to the press senior police saying that they had to move in when they did to stop this situation descending into further chaos you go in kind of it's for you we will not allow the creation of a law we will work against it we have clear indications that most black africans here see the police is that the story i want to fight against them we've never experienced a situation like this before it was young people well as more information has come out about this throughout thursday we've seen quite angry reaction from politicians

particularly at the fact that it this man was essentially on the run in free for three days and we also heard from the interior minister horse who is typically a bully and in what he has to say. what happened there is a blow to the law regarding population we shouldn't let them trample on our hospitality. attacks on police officers are unacceptable in a constitutional state such conduct must have criminal consequences is clear frustration is no excuse for crime there are a lot of questions being asked namely well why was this able to happen in the first place how can it be stopped from happening at other refugee centers in the future and ultimately who is to take the blame for allowing this situation to escalate as rapidly as it did. russia's foreign ministers told israel that if it has evidence that iran has broken the twenty fifty nuclear deal it must relate to the international atomic energy agency so comments come after israel's leader benjamin

netanyahu claimed to repeatedly misled the international community over its uranium enrichment program. such documents should be immediately passed on to the international atomic energy agency but according to the comments from experts taking part in the negotiations it's very likely that such documents refer to previous activity which has already been taken into account by the international agencies inspections. if the u.s. will announce its exit from the around the old rock the international community will of course lose one of the most important instruments promoting the nuclear nonproliferation regime the source that put it during a dramatic presentation on monday prime minister claimed around lied about never having had a nuclear weapons program he also alleged it has continued weapons research after the twenty fifteen deal was struck and that it tried to hide all of the files relating to its work and then you know reveal fifty five thousand pages of

documents apparently seized from around in a heist by israeli intelligence which he said was proof of to rand's dishonesty we cannot print. the project come on was a comprehensive program designed. to work. very long zuckerberg story product of marketing do you lose the title who struggles to develop your work. we remain deeply concerned about iran's dangerous place and growth is rule of the region iran's vision to govern a little east will be. you know this is with israel in this fight we strongly support israel's right to defend itself european leaders urged israel to submit all of the data to the un's nuclear watchdog but along with the self they suggested there was nothing new in the presentation of this no credible evidence of runs broken the agreement the pact was stuck in twenty fifteen after nine years of

talks it was brokered by the u.s. china britain russia france and germany and there was a huge diplomatic success in exchange for some sanctions being lifted iran agreed to strict limits on its nuclear program and to open up its facilities to international experts that deals currently in jeopardy though as the u.s. president has been a vocal critic is deciding whether or not talk away many analysts already when the presentation is an attempt to convince donald trump that it should be abandoned antiwar activists christiane i'm told is he also thinks it paves the way for america to pull. the only conclusion you can draw from that is that this was likely part of an operation to try and pounce on us to try and give credibility to donald trump's efforts is his is apparent plan to walk out walk away from the from the treaty with iran so it seems it seems a reasonable assumption to make that that is actually what was behind this effort

by benjamin netanyahu the stakes really are very very high here and you know it is one of the few. to deal with iran was one of the few successes of. foreign policy in the region it was one of the things that is actually kind of create at least the hope that some of the problems in the region could be resolved if that's broken we're in very very dangerous territory. groomer whose wedding in yemen last month was hit by what's thought to been a saudi led air strike has been describing the horror of what occurred when that missile struck killing at least twenty family members and friends is among the survivors who've been telling this story exclusively to us. the moment of the bomb the rocket landed and the whole world turned red and i felt that i was turning in the air and many were killed you know.

repeatedly insisted they do not target civilians the coalition has carried out a number of its own investigations into a strike that have led to mass casualties as rights groups continue to call on saudi arabia to end the conflict former cia director mike pompei or has been sworn in as u.s. secretary of state more news today given a ringing endorsement by donald trump the president said he believes the appoint will reenergize the country's foreign policy establishment. i must say that's more spirit than i've heard from the state department in a long time many years we can say many years maybe many decades it's going to be a fantastic start a fantastic day and that spirit will only be magnified only with this man right here i know that for a fact. thank you.
