raw concerns social media platforms are policing what's acceptable to say and think after numerous accounts belonging to both libertarian and conservative figures were banned over alleged hate speech. takes a look at what's now considered a violation of tech giants policies. what matters are all of the stories we hear from all of you about the impact your connections have had on your lives you can choose from an infinite range of topics that interest you and then usually follow that topic in the news countries and cultures are brought together like yesterday. that was the online world as we used to know it all fluids to any of those pesky folks trying to set limits and two thousand and eighteen you'll be told to hold up a twitter decides there are sparks of your world that shouldn't be discovered what if you're keen to know what someone has to say let it be former u.s.

diplomat peter van buren you might as well unfollowing your interests the man's profile is shut down for good because he jokingly wish someone had eaten the face of his opponent in a twitter rant on asli that's by far not the most offensive thing you can find online but what's abusive about showing mr van buren some support to users who did so god bands to it's not about me it's not about the group of us who have band together i think it's a bigger issue and it's an issue that's that's raised his head this week people like us who are not part of the legacy media we're not new york times shapers of opinion we're also allowed to have our say so if someone from the new york times or the washington post put something up that we know is false we can refute it almost in real time that's very threatening i think for the powers that be this tendency to want to shut people down if they disagree with you is very dangerous it's going down a very slippery slippery slope toward totalitarianism there's

a word for that see and ask. well someone saw it coming when even perhaps the most controversial online talking had alex jones was told get out of here by all major platforms after all they all have to stick to their own rules. and keep people safe from hate speech but then even those anti-left who come to hate jones went on alert could be because they thought someone would click on their profiles and see a hold up pop up alex jones a bad guy but the problem is that once you start saying that hate speech is a rationale for banning people from social media you get in some very very big territory. i'm no fan of jones so among other things he has a habit of repeatedly slandering my dad by falsely and absurdly accusing him of killing j.f.k. but who the hell made facebook the arbiter of political speech free speech includes views you disagree with but there's no turning back when it comes to the online

censorship evolution so i'm not sure it works like that anymore mr cruz plus people on the left are ecstatic bring it on is their call and if it is even a crucial step forward in the fight against fake news and fringe extremism. info wars is the tip of a giant iceberg of hate and lies the uses sites like facebook can use you to tear our nation oppose these companies must do more than take down one website the survival of our democracy depends on it the world is getting older and a bit more author a tarion only lately a top u.s. intelligence committee democrat has come up with twenty legislative proposals for keeping online platforms under a close watch brace yourself as you might soon have to say goodbye to things like anonymous posts or accounts that can be tracked down yeah that covers just two of

the twenty saudi arabia is threatening to escalate its dispute with kind of i will have more on that story and others when we come back off of the short break. you know world's big partners through things a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

with more make this manufactured consensus to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flame and merry go round lifts only the one percent. can all middle of the room signal. real news is really. much the program kind of that in saudi arabia or in the midst of a diplomatic feud and the united states this once of being kind of this closest ally is staying wealthier of it. we have had conversations with them about this as it pertains to canada but we would encourage both governments to work out their issues together reaction should be or what their response should be i respect the

rights of individual countries to make their own decisions and speak for themselves . we are here with a man who's become a friend of my prime minister justin trudeau there is no relationship quite like the friendship between canada and states the deep ties. up to the last week when kind of the can condemn the arrest of two human rights activists in saudi arabia riyadh responded by expelling the canadian ambassador and freezing of bilateral trade the us has so far remain neutral if they depart but merely urged both sides to use diplomacy to resolve the dispute over saudi arabia showing no sign of backing down or threatening to take additional measures against the kind of foreign affairs correspondent eric margolis believes washington's

reluctance to support kind of this partly trumps this like of prime minister justin trudeau. u.s. citizen has no interest or seasonal interest in getting involved in this spiel and i mean it's very there's very little sympathy for canada in washington. antipathy dislike it's really must try to go in canada. doesn't manage the american leftists like his father was so. there is no american support but it's still unfortunate because the two countries are very limited neighbors and most canadians wouldn't suspect the us would stick up for them. for the second in a series of reports on the fate of russian families who moved to syria to join

islamic state has made it a question of a travel to southern russia to talk to a woman sentenced to eight years in prison on terrorism charges after she followed her husband to syria. the clock is ticking on its current life sentenced to eight years behind bars for being part of an illegal armed group she won't actually go to jail until her youngest child turns fourteen and she's only one right now less than twelve months ago her life was old very different i was twenty nine when i left i went to turkey first with my husband i never thought i would end up there. within seven months as i did that was living in syria and pregnant with her third child she says her husband had been drawn to islam and a better life. he told me it was safe to go there he said it wasn't how it was

being shown that was snowball me he said no war but the reality turned out to be far more spin anything on t.v. they lived for two years in the city of topic which at the times was under eisel control than they moved to rocca and she spent every day living in feet. even my girl knew she was only eight years old but she could tell the difference what was coming and american hercules plane a fighter jet drone she could tell by the sound of it. what are they hiding yes well they either went downstairs or just simply stayed at home it took them out into the hole and we laid on the floor so that any shrapnel wouldn't hit us that good had struggles to share her story she tries to stay emotionally distant from the past and speaks quietly rarely looking into the camera she says she wanted to

return home right from the start i told my husband that i want to go back but i couldn't live but the moment i started talking about it we had fights he told me if you want to leave leave but i will not let you take the kids away. and you he was able to do that he had that sort of character and i was afraid later on when they were living and rock and her husband was killed in a drone strike leaving zagi dad all alone with three children i started looking for ways to get out but it's not that easy you can't just leave that place it all has to be done in secret there are people that can sell you out trick i only talk to those who i knew well and one day i was told that there was this wrote that there was a way out. that claims she had no way dia alive she was leading would leave her on the wrong side of russia's anti terror laws. i stayed at home all the time i had my children i had no time for anything else i was at home taking care of my kids.

she was one of the seven women and fourteen children brought back to russia in the autumn twenty seventeen as part of a companion organized by chechen officials to repatriate the families of men who went to fight with islam it terrorists. i'm very grateful to everyone who helped launch this campaign to save many women and children. but while they were lucky to escape from the war in syria upon arrival in grozny she was detained by police three months later she was convicted and sentenced for being part of an illegal armed group. and while the law she broke is designed to help thwarted terror attacks some people argue that family members of radicalized individuals should not be targeted. these people need rehabilitation they need to be close to their family members under the care of their mothers they're under huge dress and prison

will not help them it will only meet the more harsh i believe it's wrong to put them behind bars for now is that good at leaves with her mother in dagestan she has to report. to the police every month can't leave the region it's difficult for both her and her brother to find work and if they're on the official police list it means they will have to get by on their mother's small salary as a post office worker despite all this. she's just happy to see her children. i was literally suffering there because i was unable to provide food for my children he told me constantly mom we are hungry they were close. and now he's absent congress let's go to the merry go round would let's go to the seaside now we go and nowhere don't go now we're going everywhere. mommy is hard and so my lovely hussein. was you. r.t.

dagestan. it's been ten years since the war between georgia and russia broke out after george or attacked the autonomous region of south ossetia back in two thousand and eight the russian army intervened after five days of violence and fourteen hundred civilians killed a ceasefire agreement was finally reached russian troops remain in the region to this day acting as peacekeepers however the us sees it very differently as an occupation our position on the russian occupied georgia regions of. and also south ossetia is unwavering that remains unwavering today the regions are part of georgia they are not part of russia and the united states continues to support josh georgia's sovereignty its independence and also its territorial integrity spite western politicians blaming russia the use fact finding mission establish that georgia was actually the one he michette of the conflict it also insists though

that both sides violated international law in our new documentary we recall the most tragic moments of the conflict we can show you a quick preview. i'm not trying. to. be good i've got this the power. is not. natural so you go. you know you're solution this is her little sister this is. closing. the she should all of. them. at double the last.

thirty. plus you. should. eat to. be able to get in order to feel well this is a good thing you know i'm going to. hear the mainstream media they reported that rush started the conflict and said nothing about soccer surely opening fire on the night of the beginning of the olympics in beijing a couple years after the war i believe that eventually other countries would learn to recognize that georgia was at fault in this war especially after the european commission came out and said that georgia started the war and i was very disappointed that they didn't. as soon as the fighting broke out the western media immediately jumped to conclusions.

georgia's president says russia is attacking his country dropping bombs and moving tanks into georgian territory russia's attacks keep coming to surprise georgia saying it's withdrawn from self a city here in the georgians can do nothing. moscow's actions illustrate its content to the condemnation and criticism. i want you to know to whom to blink all of the un's east conflict and that said mr saakashvili who started this morning and mr saakashvili who is going to show and tell cells and people who feel to be on a one day my dad stewart and guest i would never tell you that it was only a commercial break will take us there in four seconds whether we do i don't know where you go most don't want to hear. is situated some twenty minutes drive from self

a city and the russian troops us t. is a city that not crossing i mean history to border. russia's prime minister dmitry medvedev was the country's president at the time looking back at the events of two thousand and eight he says that they could have been prevented. play out some castings of videos and i evaluate these events in the same way that i did before there would have been no war if suckers for his actions would not be so irresponsible immoral and criminal it was not inevitable it was clearly a choice made by cyclist really and his aides at the goal was to push georgian soldiers back prince involved so as to restore order and prevent a further escalation of the conflict it was not to destroy georgia or execute saakashvili so i think i was right and trying not to rush because that gave us the chance to calm the situation in georgia. and also to engage in calm dialogue with

other countries and the european union that set for myself on the team for this i would join us again at four am moscow time for the latest global news headlines. that's geysers line it looks like. a. lot of take it easy this is a central plank support dying of government kind of problem right now so you start to. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want.

to do like to be pretty much like the pope for freedom or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters and. there should be. thanks. thanks. thanks thanks thanks. greetings and salutation. most professional anglers will tell you that there is an art to fishing and a big part of that art is patience and using the right kind of bait and while fishing is known the world over for sport and leisure apparently in the city of chicago the windy city and other communities around the united states local law enforcement has taken this remark to fishing and brought it to the streets in the form of what's being called baiting see baiting is where police or other law

enforcement agency agencies will stage a car or truck filled with expensive goods to lure potential residents of a high crime or poor community to steal said car or goods so that they can then swoop in and make an arrest but now local communities thankfully are fighting back recently a series of videos posted online by community activists living in the chicago neighborhood of englewood went viral and they appear to feature a truck loaded with nike air force one sneakers and christian louboutin shoes and box is reporting that according to local resident charles mckenzie of the crime prevention group gods gorillas the truck was parked near a basketball court and traveled to other sides in the predominantly black community on the city's southwest side seems to be confirmed by resident martin g. johnson who posted a video showing what appears to be the same semi truck and trailer at

a different location the following day needless to say hawk watchers the civil liberty implications of what is essentially law enforcement across the country baiting citizens living in a poor depressed high crime neighborhoods into committing a crime is at the cli questionable to say the least while bordering heavily on entrapment. you know i think it's time we put a little snag in their special lives and start watching the hawks. you. would know what a legal street looks like a real live this would be analyzing the bottom if you. want to play like you know not i got. this. big song. welcome aboard the watch part of the robot

and i'm topical daleks so you go take the bait. you know i don't know what's worse the fact that it's so. they're so much like any parent. ray says i'm. in the fight and i'm putting and classism of putting here some nike air and some you know red bottom right is a bloody shoes they are not meant to reply to it none of their story is the fact they are literally waving shoes in front of porky. and when you want to run thing them for take i just think it's her when you watch the video you know it's all alleged but you see the cops like you know the time they get there with these videos you see the cops show up because they're like kind of sting is blown but they like can't admit but not that admit what's going on so you gotta watch these because they're absolutely incredible. but what comes to mind when you see it is entrapment that's the first thing you think legally like this can't be this is

entrapment i can't like set something out somebody walks by picks it up you know or you know because this is done in many different ways sometimes it's a car with keys in it like a really nice car i call bait cars bait cars and we just may live by the way yes it was. a gross it is it was literally like how long are the do you reach of people just by the way my favorite episode i believe was on the t.v. shows where they had the surveillance in the like trunk of a hard ass and they broke into the car rather than taking the car they actually took the surveillance for the quick moment but you know you have that and then and the excuse is always well it brings down and say you know it saves cars from being jacked like they have done that but that's the thing and entrapments the big deal because i think you and i would think that's entrapment but i can't do it while the legal definition of entrapment just we all know is the act of government agents or officers that you do says a person to commit a crime he or she is not previously disposed to commit however this is a law enforcement's bizarre argument that actually wins them court cases listen to

this ok the entrapment defense is difficult elizabeth the joe writes in the harvard law review that in practice entrapment is a losing defense for most courts the conclusion that the defendant is criminally predisposed to commit the offense bars. truculent claim even where the government's term taishan is maybe unrealistically attractive basically they're saying that you can't use entrapment in a city where you're probably a criminal because you're probably a criminal because you're in a poor neighborhood or whatever or if you have a history of after you have a criminal rap sheet which generally you don't see them putting bait cars in super expensive parts of town you'll see they're in poor parts of town you don't see them loading truckloads of shoes you know like over in beverly hills no or in what did you know the real spending real snazzy parts of jumping up on fifth avenue i approach go here's some louis airport or whatever like you know we're guess what sorry got to break it to you the police tend to go after poor people way more than

they go after rich people you know well of course on their progress and on those areas but at the same time like how many untested rape kits are in chicago how many open murder cases how many open assault cases how many open theft case says first citizens are waiting because these cops have to go out and taxpayer dollars to pay for the truck the shoes the whole thing i'm like oh it's a joke and you know the thing is it's like putting expensive things in there it's really like saying to the community it's like ha ha you don't get that. one of the things i get really interesting is the community response community activist charles mckenzie had told box that there were a lot of young guys playing basketball why would they do that in the chorus community is to people who don't have anything better how do how are we supposed to trust the police if they if they're setting up like this how can we trust them that's it you're trying the problem is a lack of trust between people in the community of every color in every community except maybe beverly hills where they own the police. that they're there is

a lack of trust there's a breakdown of trust and when i'm tired is hearing the cops and the police complain that citizens are the ones that have to do the work you are there to protect and serve that mean. get to know where you live have some humanity and protract those people that are there not trying to ruin some kids live because now is going to have a theft on this case we're going to lose out of college on opportunities or everything that's gross it is gross and at the end of the day come on you're there to do police work you're not there to entrap people and do all that it's absolutely ridiculous to work for a living. as it appears there is a major fuel heating up between saudi arabia and canada now canada last week on twitter the canadian foreign minister demanded that the saudi kingdom release jailed human rights activists a move saudi arabia to the fence to an essence responded with a number of measures aiming to put a hurt on the canadian economy r.t.

if alex mileage has more on the story from toronto. so the latest from saudi arabia is that they're going to stop buying wheat and barley from canada now that's kind of funny since guess who i was controlling shares of the canada wheat board well it will be a saudi arabian company to the tune of two hundred and fifty million dollars but this is just the latest in a string of punishments against canada they start off by boot not our ambassador and then pulling their ambassador from canada and then they moved on to different things such as say that they're not going to do any new trading with us and that they're going to pull out sixteen thousand students from canada saudi students so these poor kids who are about to start their school year well they're going to be yanked out of this country and sent someplace else i don't know if that's really fair but that's what's happening more and i just think students also patients out of hospitals if you're a saudi patient get a well you're going to be sent someplace else i don't know if they're to be checking how sick you are i don't think really that's a part of the bigger agenda and i don't know how to get home because starting next

week flights out of canada to saudi arabia won't be happening anymore the saudis are banning of that as well you know when you break this all down the educational exchanges expel the suspended flights the the wacko. investment are pulling up investments out of canada as well and just see just how bitter saudis get when somebody criticizes them hope that's horrible but what's canada going to do all about the do about all of this while canada is playing the boyscout that it usually is the canadian government has gone to the british and it's gone to the usa and say hey please help us can you help us out with this issue we're having with our friends the saudis they also want the us jumping on this but guess what the us is saying because you're both close allies of the us we're both close allies of the us can you believe that the saudis remember them of the plane nine eleven thing and remember canada with all those planes in the air during nine eleven we let people into our homes well we're both close allies according to the us so the us isn't

getting involved it's all i'm going to say about that i don't really want to dig too much further into u.s. affairs because we just don't do stuff like that here now good riddance basically to saudi arabia i think that's really the key issue here we saw the nine hundred armored vehicles of that was a very controversial thing here in canada and to with that a lot of canadians thought that we probably shouldn't be doing that since these weapons are being used in saudi arabia and in yemen as well according to some reports but you know there is an issue here we did do something wrong chrystia freeland the foreign minister of canada sent out a tweet so she decided to do twitter politics along the lines of president donald trump and she got us into this whole jam with the saudis because of that this issue really when you look at it how do you resolve it well you know what there is a resolution here and that's basically firing christian freeland at the same time possibly apologizing to the saudis but a lot of a see this as an opportunity to break a relationship that should have probably been broken a long time ago with

a country that is the biggest sponsor of terrorism on this planet. this is a few things to say about that doesn't use words oh not those words you know it's interesting to me that there is this idea that she said strongly encourage those strongly worded if a woman says you're wrong and you lose your mind so much that you're pulling kids out of hospitals and souls and shutting down airplanes you might want to ask yourself why that is i think that part of it is right yet shit good for her good for her first speaking out on this issue because it's a joke they get you know saudi arabia we've been sitting here they we get all of this puffed up thing about we're letting women drive. we're going to we're going to have wrestling i mean not the women that they're going to be just not for me it's interesting it's interesting to me because i look at it it's like ok saudi arabia is spoiled.
