in other news today in yemen over forty civilians have reportedly been killed by a society led air strike most of them children the strike hit a school bus and the marketplace a word of warning you might find the coming images disturbing well according to the latest information from the red cross twenty nine children were killed all under the age of fifteen forty eight more were wounded including children the strike hit the north of the country which is on the who the rebel control the intervention against him started back in twenty fifth day now the saudi led coalition has issued a statement over this latest attack saying the attack was a legitimate military operation in accordance with international humanitarian law riyadh also accuses hooty rebels of using children as human shields saudi arabia is being assisted by the united arab emirates and its incursion is not the first time this month the coalition has hit residential areas in fact a week ago an air raid in her died a seaport the main transit point for aid to yemen claimed the lives of fifty five

civilians one hundred seventy more were wounded in that humanitarian groups have urged the coalition to protect the civilian population as well as medical staff and facilities which have been repeatedly hit by raids died from the red cross told us the situation in yemen is appalling. we have received twenty nine identified these are children up to fourteen years old and forty forty eight injured among them thirty children but for the overall tour. this needs to be referred to the ministry of health and population of yemen a humanitarian situation in the country is catastrophic it's a book relation that has been brought to the brink of collapse the health system is decimated the movement of population is growing because of.

conflicts and hostilities going on so we really do think. more hostilities and you know the expansion of those hostilities with will exacerbate an already humanitarian situation even more we see violations cross the country and it's really sad to. issue or speak about civilian casualties in a matter of less than a week so for us this is painful. whenever restricted in casualties we i mean. this is just horrific. facebook may have closer ties to washington than previously thought it's now the social media giant is relying on experts funded by branches of the u.s. government and also nato when it comes to tracking foreign influence with more on

this his trunk. how's that for a mark zuckerberg nightmare he or his team in front of a horde of suits go and sort these russian bots out sort out the fakes sort them out or did i just paint a good picture of the reality web giants of been facing lately in the past election you. we've seen how foreign actors are abusing social media platforms those images that can be attributed or associated with the russian company lack of resources a lack of commitment and a lack of genuine effort the likes of zogby could have proudly said we're just a platform where independent and sorting out what you call fakes is none of our business but when wall street alarm bells are ringing you know how it can happen with the stocks it could be better to zip it and focus on an intense year.

see if we stick to be the tough year began with. news feed algorithm the trick was to boost posts with let's say pics of your friends cat and sideline all that politics related media stuff haha they say this lead to less views likes and comments under donald trump's posts move it on facebook has evolved from policing offensive content to policing news views ideas it can be anything apart from your friend's cat if people flag them as potential hoaxes we send those to fact checkers and if those fuckers say that that is provably false then we will significantly reduce the distribution of that content to what if you want to just say get off our platform will look as a porn to some of this content can be i do think that it gets down to this principle of giving people a voice eventually though the get off our platform way to sort things out still

prevailed ok and now. it's time to meet the fact checkers journalists have found them in a tiny room at these guys' h.q. got it at the end of the day facebook's not so happy with that online policeman's hat so zuck in co are outsourcing the digital share locks i'm being serious that's what they call themselves who are let me check where they come from. linked to nato with their help thirty two suspicious pages have already been sorted out the big ship is not turned around overnight takes a while but i think that the have now given some opportunity to work with them and i hope that in the months when we have at least three other platforms in that we will see. a willingness to collaborate with others to come up with a solution bravo and it's not just facebook for doing just as great one question though since already most americans head to social media to get their news when

will freedom of speech ring a bell well political commentator brian legan does believe that the left is moving to get rid of undesirable views on social media platforms. it feels like the only people they have the right to speak out are those who agree with the leftist principles if you are against lefties ideology any kind of way they find a way to demonize you they call you a conspiracy theories they said is you're promoting fake news we're coming more under the control of big corporations and a lot of these people who are in the government and corporations are kind of working together to colluding with each other any kind of extra regulation from the federal government will most certainly impact freedom of speech online there's going to be a battle to try and corral the internet back and kind of mainstream media staff format where you get your news curated for you and you don't have any kind of dissenting viewpoints so plenty more to come for this hour including the painting

of easter island one for historic statue back from the british museum not among the stories on the way just after the break. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime champions each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be rich eight point six percent market shock thirty percent here's some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first check. point rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one

billion dollars a i industrials but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one doesn't show you can't afford to miss the one and only. again a new u.s. power to suggest the reputation of news organizations is in decline and that more than a quarter of american citizens not think that the president should have the power to close media outlets deemed to be behaving badly. paid and took to the streets of new york to get opinions on freedom of speech which. the american media just can't

get over the anime of the people label first slapped onto it by donald trump a little while back anime of the people i think crosses a line i think it's reckless i respectfully ask that and this is a phrase that has a long historic provenance it goes back to the french revolution it goes back to stalin to mouth when the president attacks journalists we question his motivation at this point you could dismiss the comments simply as media oversensitivity or bias against donald trump however whether it's media partisanship or trumps behavior it seems pretty clear that public support for freedom of the press is stark now at this point less than half of americans say they believe the mainstream media is working hard to engage in honest reporting now what's more shocking is that twenty six percent of americans more than a quarter say they believe that the president should have the authority to shut down any media outlet that isn't gauging in what they call bad behavior now it's

not surprising that most of these media haters are republicans and it's no secret what outlets they want to shut down. do you think that's surprising to you do you think a lot of americans agree that the media outlets should be shut down i do i think those smart if you're smart and you have a good mindset where you see different things then you would know things like that obviously should be shut down especially if they're not telling the whole story that's a joke that's a joke once again this go back to page one freedom with the press led to him appearing in those twenty six percent being that you know the constitution i'll be blunt i mean i don't think the pressure be closed down but it doesn't mean we have to read it or pay attention to it i just block it out. i don't really know what their definition of bad behavior means if there is a clear definition of bad behavior and no maybe i'd agree with that. stephen moore

of course if there. are some. that i don't agree with then maybe they should be looked at more in depth. in terms of shutting them down off of you jerk reactions no i don't agree with it now seems that the first amendment is the first thing that many americans want to be amending. r.t. new york. the people of easter island demanding the return of a sacred statue taken more than one hundred years ago and by the british navy it was presented as a gift to queen victoria before eventually ending up in the british museum where it is currently on display. business is that if it should be handed back. hosting an estimated eight million objects the british museum is one of the world's best known collections of art history and culture and often the subject a fiery debate about whether all chicks sourced during the british empire as colonial times should be returned to where they came from.

the latest dispute ironically involves a statue called lost or stolen friend a fitting name to the indigenous people of easter island or trying to recover a unique figure taken one hundred fifty years ago and given to queen victoria who then give to date to the museum this is reportedly being negotiated as we speak. the circumstances have changed and we've heard that there's a possibility to discuss the stones are trying to chile with the museum and the british government the british museum attracts scores of tourists so it's not surprising the museum is putting up a fight claiming they're better preserved under its own watch sometimes offering temporary loans as

a compromise but what do the visitors think let's find out sooner really speaking i would say it should be returned i think it's a heritage says to stop history we fought over this whole kind of colonialist british empire thing and stuff nice theory but it's rare and this museum is very well operates and very well known and so i think like staying here would be at infante so you're leaning a little bit more towards letting them stay here. i stand firmly on the fence i mean i can see the benefits of post to be honest i mean if they went away we wouldn't see them here and we would be able to appreciate do you think it's realistic to expect that a place like this would return some of the you know some of the most famous pieces are ones that work. brought here and your question about. the way government plans to change the constitution stripped white farmers of their land south african politicians are looking for more black emancipation

a new party has made headlines there after banning whites and foreigners from becoming members with more his poor asli. after the death of nelson mandela there has been an increase in racial politics and incitement here in south africa and now as the country starts preparing for elections to be held at the beginning of next year one new party has emerged that's only for black people the muslim african congress says that its goal is to restore the ideals of african people it's gone as far as to say our membership is not open to anything that looks white this is a far cry from how mandela saw the rainbow nation have to look to all is in the cities and so i don't think it's a good concept i don't think it's something that will work here though going backwards obviously i dislike that too we shouldn't allow them to sort of forget most parties are fighting for is unity in south africa but not having a party that now takes only black people sort of like promotes racism it's become popular in south africa particularly among the white community to talk about

reverse racism in other words discrimination against white people whereas once people of color would deny jobs education and political power the tables have now turned and many whites complain of being overlooked because of black economic empowerment policies ironically many south africans once felt they were not quite enough today there are those who feel they are not black enough police they are t. johannesburg. by saying with us tonight is just coming up to half past six here in moscow about with more in the headlines in just. chose seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any old belief just to shape our disdained you can stick out to it and engage with equals betrayal

. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. who are going to most just as they would a simple they want to become lost and i want to ask some just about. many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sites the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities best person as van. persie to point zero five and up next time i get i'm in a lot of class and they want that. they can watch as they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house over forty gravels. fifty what is the

who do you beat up to the. i said sit many couples won't. kill with the push to put impulse response both of you up at the pump to the smoke of the. you know world of big partisan 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 path 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. my brother could write a review yes carried it for mamma the whole of south.

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 and war broke out. in one thousand nine hundred two the warring parties signed a peace accord but failed to come to an agreement russian brokered the peace talks since then russian peace makers have been helping to keep order i asked her. how far. more of. the signals. dump on the bunkers one i'm going

my. new role. was in exploring the real story at the top of our new regions three civil. rights era. and you've seen this what's been the only i mean even. my own was also seriously injured she was unaware that reinforcements were fighting their way through to the peacekeepers and that has son was with the military. he would run into an ambush near the peacekeepers base and be badly wounded. the peacekeepers couldn't hold the georgian troops bank for too long and by the afternoon of august the eighth georgian turning said already entered see involve.

one and his parents managed to flee the village just in time and avoided the oncoming georgian army they didn't know the road was under the control of georgian troops. coming out of the south past the end of the bar could. not touch full force in a small. enough classrooms to bullshit me. thousands of civilians fled to russia but not everybody managed to get their own homes many were killed on the way to. the a city in this way incapable of defending themselves on their own against the will to train georgian army people died in skin. the peacekeepers were surrounded and couldn't help. it's still russia looms the operation to foresee georgia peace the

military were fighting their way through to relieve. their oh george interest in. the claimed russia to tank georgia my country is soon sold if i was against russian aggression russian russian troops invaded georgia they've been bombing georgia numerous warplanes and specifically targeting civilian population and did you take a gamble your government launched its own attempt to retake so sasha we did it. we didn't. have the morning of the eights my wife calls me and says that they bombed a couple hundred meters away from her mother's house i remember. i was actually crying and afraid and thinking that if anything happens to my family i'm going to kill saakashvili. and i meant that we met joe mistress ten years ago he's an american who lives in florida his wife john is the sense in august two thousand and
