in parks like hot and cold in europe. there are concerns social media platforms of policing what's acceptable to say and to think after numerous accounts belonging to libertarian and conservative figures were banned over alleged hate speech. trenker takes a look at what's considered now a violation of take shots 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 usually follow that topic in the news countries and cultures that got 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 spots 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 honestly 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 some 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 was is the tip of a giant iceberg of hate and lies the uses sites like facebook can use you to tear a nation the posts 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 yep that covers just two of the twenty. now despite closing numerous accounts twitter is the only major platform that has not blocked alex jones to mention was banned by a host of social media giants this is led to twitter though being criticized for being too tolerant in response to what the c.e.o. tweeted that jones hadn't actually violated any of the platforms rules of pro trump activists are coming up with some creative ways of showing their support in the face of russian collusion claims that one of them designed with a t. shirt that sent the media into a frenzy. hello

. hello. kind of saudi arabia are in the midst of a diplomatic feud the united states though despite being kind of his closest ally is thing will play out. 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 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 kennedy and i did states the deep ties. for the hour up to the last week when kind of a condemned the arrest of two human rights activists in saudi arabia riyadh responded by expelling the canadian ambassador and freezing what out or trade the u.s. has so far remain neutral the state department to merely urge both sides to use diplomacy through this period of a saudi arabia is showing no sign of backing down is threatening to take additional measures against kind of the foreign affairs correspondent atika margolis believes washington's were locked in the support kind of the it's partly down to trump's dislike of prime minister justin trudeau. well u.s. citizen has no interest or seasonal interest in getting involved in this spiel and you know it's very there's very little sympathy for canada in washington.

antipathy dislike to him is trying to know you can. regarded as a man the american leftists like his father was so it's there is no american support but it's still unfortunate because the two countries are very well its neighbors and most canadians would suspect the u.s. should stick up for them. time now for the second in a series of reports on the fate of russian families who moved to syria to join islamic state artie's medina caution of a travel to southern russia to talk to a woman sentenced to eight years in prison on the terrace charges after she followed her husband to the war torn country. the clock is ticking on zagat uts 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 a good that was living in syria and pregnant with her third child she said as 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 fall morris than anything on t.v. they lived for two years in the city of top cow 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. where they hiding yes well they either went downstairs or just simply stayed at home i took them out into the hole and we laid on the floor so that any shrapnel wouldn't hit us zagat had struggles to share her story she tries to stay emotionally distant from the past 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 in iraq and her husband was killed in a drone strike leavings and he died 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 the life 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 repaginate the families of men who went to fight with islam make terrorists. i am 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 thank you that leaves with her mother in dagestan she has to report. to the police every month and can't leave the region it's difficult for both her and her brother to find work 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 is 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 says in a country so let's go to the merry go round let's go to the seaside now we go and nowhere don't get now we're going everywhere. mommy is hard and so my lovely hussein. was here. dagestan. it's been ten years now since the war between georgia and russia broke out after georgia or attack the autonomous region of south. back in two thousand and eight the russian army intervened and after five days of violence and fourteen hundred civilians killed a ceasefire agreement was fun ridged russian troops remain in the region to this

day acting as peacekeepers the u.s. however sees this as an occupation our position on the russian occupied georgia russians. 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 despite western politicians blaming russia use fact finding mission established that georgia was the one who initiated the conflict it also insists though that both sides violated international law in a new documentary we recall the most tragic moments of the conflict we can show you now a quick preview. i'm not trying to. kill also. just some of the grads you've got in this the past. is not well

surely the. natural sunlight. is you know you're sort of the solution this puts her little sister this is. closing down. the chic she's all of. the saying yes. at. last. get you moving plus you. set up. eat whatever you. got good will be good in order to feel well this is a good thing you don't go through. those difficult don't let up to. 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 recognise 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 see the fighting broke out the western media i mean that you jumped to its own 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 of the georgians can do nothing. moscow's actions illustrate its content to meet the condemnation and criticism. i

want you to know to whom to blame all of the undies conflict and that said mr saakashvili who started the smaller and mr saakashvili who is going to show up and kill cells and people who feel to be on the one day and gets to it and i guess i would never tell you that unfortunately a commercial break will take us there in four seconds whether we do i know that you do almost don't want to hear. is situated some twenty minutes drive from solve a city and the russian troops us t v land is in southern 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. the players i'm just going to put valuate these events in the same way that. they would have been

no war if second string his actions would not be so irresponsible immoral and criminal record when it was not inevitable it was clearly a choice made by cyclist really and his aides goal was to push georgian soldiers back prince involved to restore order and prevent a further escalation of the conflict it was not to destroy georgia or execute cyclists really so and i think i was right in trying not to rush because that gave us the chance to calm the situation in georgia set a year and a pause here and also to engage in calm dialogue with other countries and the european union and i spoke to one woman who survived those horrors ten years ago she shared what she went through. or down by that we went to a neighbor's house where there were fourteen people and when the shelling started the house was have a damaged and the kitchen caught fire during pools in the fighting i decided to go to my parents' house i don't my way i was captured a man called gear took me away to execute me he put

a knife to my throat he sad i had to kill me but god saved me. for the south set for myself and the team here at r.t. join us in thirty five minutes for the latest on the global news updates. it's only natural that baby boomers were vote for policies that help balance a house price but the stock price going up and its different franchise. you know age groups but oh well. tough luck but get a job kids get a job. my brother could write a review that scared it from my mouth the whole of south

started to heat up in the late one nine hundred eighty s. the soviet union was falling apart and the republics were striving for the right to self-determination the nationalists even came up with the slogan georgia is for georgians schools were forbidden to teach in the acetylene language south the city rebelled declared independence involve broke out. in one thousand nine hundred two the warring parties signed a peace accord but failed to come to an agreement russia brokered the peace talks since then russian peace makers have been helping to keep order i asked god how far. more of. the snow sleet. dump of bunkers one i'm going
