oh look you know what i don't know what. are the headlines stories at this hour a flood of fakes make it on to facebook as an independent test of the site's new tools to curb misinformation discovers it's far from. a run down

in a seaside village ends up front and center in the u.s. midterm election campaign after mistaking me being used to illustrate a dystopian future in the states r t a's a visit. a lot plainer when he's in america. and you want to come study with it so you become a sticks in people's faces just you know also ahead signs korea or japan to pay significant damages to steel workers who were coerced into forced labor during the second world we look at walter reed knighting the country's. former inmates i'm a u.s. juvenile detention center when the payoff after stuff forced them to take part in the fight nights for their entertainment. the guards would be laughing and keeping watch so predominantly it was for entertainment of the guards.

around the clock across the world this is your artesian national on from the team and myself you know neal a very warm hello and welcome top story people posing as political candidates russian trolls even i sold facebook struggling to live up to its transparency pledge by continuing to approve fake advertisements from fake sources the tech giant introduced a new two last month to curb misinformation on its platform daniel hawkins takes a closer look at how it's working out to date. remember how the zucker valid to protect your news feed from fakes arguably the biggest problem of modern times we're going to take a number of measures from building in deploying new ai tools that takedown fake news to growing our security team to more than twenty thousand people to making its that we verify every advertiser who's doing political an issue well the issues but

again we can't prevent all governments from all interference but we can make it harder we can make it much harder and again based book is unveiling a new so-called war room facebook has created what it's calling the war room where teams of patrolling for fake news misinformation and meddling to multiple scandals in a big brainstorm but also it was finally found now will no shady sponsor can post political ads without proper vetting verification social media joy and even made this sleek video to make sure you appreciate their efforts there was never anything that delivered the same kind of visibility into who paid for paid political content on facebook until today ads related to politics have information about who paid for them with crucial u.s. midterm elections just around the corner surely no one would be allowed to get the upper hand out of round the new controls except they did big time facebook's not beating that higher standard of transparency we received approval to buy political

ads on facebook and claim they were paid for by major political figures in just about an hour they passed facebook's move a process that's a little awkward while the few posts slipping through the net could be understandable some of the haves were just obvious the journalists took me was allegedly shared by russian trolls back in twenty sixteen like this one jesus all wrestling sites and published it on a page called ratatouille for senate and disclose the funding as paid by islamic state you couldn't make it up this mean was published in his name the page ninja turtles p a c. and fact the only time advertising was denied to was when they posed this hillary clinton or mark zuckerberg himself when asked how this could have happened facebook said well it isn't perfect but we'll try harder in forstmann to isn't perfect and we weren't so pull people trying to game the system but we have

made it much harder and we will continue to improve since then and mail identical experiment took place with a similar result journalists managed to get approval for ads paid for by cambridge at a little notorious political consultancy bad from the site off to dragging the company into a huge scandal earlier this year so there you have it two years of investigations congress hearings and political battles against all blind trolls and smart well funded adversaries the result even more possibilities for ridiculous trolling what can't help but ask what is the problem with the state of american politics was that really in the dodgy ads this idea that it is now their responsibility and they're qualified to take on this responsibility to determine what is in isn't real news to determine what is in isn't valid political information to determine what is in is in free speech that's just ridiculous i mean it's absolutely ridiculous to to

assume that this company should be in charge of that this idea that facebook is going to tell us what our real political ads quote unquote and what aren't and what is real news and what isn't and what should be free speech and what shouldn't be giving them this overreaching censorship power is absolutely ridiculous. well indeed another tech giant feeling the heat is google where stuff staged a women's walkout on thursday in protest over the company's handling of sexual misconduct claims reached a fever pitch. about a high profile executive how to allegedly being paid a golden handshake of nearly ninety million dollars despite allegations of sexual misconduct against that firm and many good stuff taking part in this week's industrial action it's not an isolated case they are demanding changes to the tech behemoths work culture including greater transparency when settling harassment cases the company is failing to address the issue. and ignition

seaside village has find itself getting someone wanted attention in the u.s. midterm election campaign g which is known locally as one of the u.k.'s most deprived areas but images of its de lapa david streets appeared on a republican party poster boy who explains why. what links this essex seaside town to the upcoming u.s. midterm elections an insensitive political one hundred that's what locals here in jail exxon's in essex have been left fuming ofter a pro trump republican candidate for the senate for the state of illinois used a photograph of j. wick sands on his social media feed as an anti advertisement so the caption next to the photograph read only you can stop this from becoming a reality but the problem is the picture wasn't quite reality the image of jay wick sounds that he used was taken several years ago and since then the local

authorities have made quite a few improvements to the local area so the locals there are all rather cross country to try to park in america are and then you come to a cover of a walking tour a week and you see the different plane. when it is in america we don't leave room or for the right not get i was iraq everything america are we here is just not something we can refuse it winds come in use an old fart. somewhere and say look you're going to look like this is the bad news. a match normally should be used or will use are going to put a good picture we've got a bit of hostility with the camera down there is it kind of is do you guys feel a bit kind of burned by the negative press attention that you guys have are yes because of the t.v. show that happened way before yeah i know you want to come study with so you become a switch in people's faces just you know we would you know people don't like it

they don't like you or the offending advert has now been removed and dr nick stella's spokesperson has issued an apology or cough an apology our intent was never to smear to town and to photo not known to us as jay wick sands in essex we never used a name for us it was an example of a town overburdened by poor governance which is exactly what we in our district are seeking to provide at every level back in two thousand and ten and two thousand and fifteen the government named the area as the most deprived in england in fact i was here to report on it at the time the time was thought up as a holiday resort for city dwellers back in the one nine hundred twenty s. these are all meant to be summer houses but because rents were so cheap people started living here all year round some parts of the town like tarmac roads street lighting or even pavements lost to shops that were here have been boarded up unemployment is rife in the town in fact sixty two percent of the people that live

head to pend on welfare payments. and the town isn't exactly a luxury seaside resort it is still a deprived area and even though local authorities have been keen to stress that they have invested in new roads and new drainage systems it could use more money there is some hesitation when you talk to the locals as well they don't want to talk to the cameras they've been burned before by. bad press and the. image of the town around some concede that they could definitely use more investment but it's not up to politicians in america to judge their hometown one interesting suggestion came from the director of a documentary about che which he said that dr nick stella should come over here and she could show him around the town and so he can see for himself all the improvements that have been made i get the sense that the locals would have one

would say things to say to him. heading stateside for teenagers who are inmates at a u.s. juvenile detention center of woman near one hundred eighty thousand dollars settlement offer it was revealed guards force them to take part in so-called fight nights the lawsuits say these two guards lead youngsters on each of their cells into a larger room to fight each other for entertainment boys who didn't want to do battle were forced into bites with tougher inmates while the guards watched on its claim the clashes took place weekly during a three month period and twenty sixteen r.t. heard more from the boys the tree. there was a tradition that went back several years we were told and it was called fight night and on friday nights in particular two guards would let various young men out of their cells and pit them against one another in a particular room and let them take their shirts off and box and one would emerge

from the room victorious and one would not and then there were several rounds on any given friday night the videos that we saw would show the. the guards would be laughing and keeping watch so predominantly it was for entertainment of the guards ages of our clients were approximately sixteen and seventeen they were in the county juvenile justice center for various crimes nothing to outrageous or horrific cuyahoga county authorities apologized via skype to each and every client except for one who didn't want to partake in this and we hope that there will be a policy change in this particular jail and hopefully jails across the united states. rock on with another headline stories this hour on easy relations between south korea and japan suffered another blow to tokyo is our trade stocks a court ruling that awarded south korean steel workers over eighty eight thousand

dollars compensation for forced labor during the second world war only one of the men is still alive. i'm very sad and i'm crying a lot because i'm the only one left it could be pennies for a big company or a whole country's budget but see tokyo is really going to happen at the trial went in favor of the only plane of who was still alive all the other south koreans eligible for compensation for being pretty much sent as slaves to japan during world war two have passed away and i wish the verdict had come earlier he should had my husband would have seen it was a lifelong burden of his and it's really sad things to this. but the nodding sixty five agreement on wartime claims between the two countries and did that meaning all disputes are in the past boom it took the storm fifty three years to

hello again with just months to go before the european union's parliamentary elections polls aren't making easy reading for the blocs ruling party's voter preference seems to be veering towards more radical quarters and what could lead to an unprecedented shake up in european politics. europe's political establishment is set up for a meeting in may during the e.u. parliamentary elections and with support to win doing for both the center right and the center left the big winners euro skeptic an anti migrant parties the feeding is that there's a kind of the extortion among voters because they feel that the traditional have nothing new to say they feel contempt from those voltages that it's not exactly always making them go to a populist making making voters do to anybody who looks you french president emanuel macron took it upon himself to warn europe of a nationalistic menace comparing it to leprosy europe faces a risk that of being broken up by nationalist leprosy and of being pushed around by

foreign powers and thereby losing its sovereignty but it seems like the french don't see eye to eye with micron right now a majority of people in france apparently would prefer an unelected technocratic government while over forty percent even say they would rather support an off for a terry and political power so this could be a wake up call for micron as his approval ratings hit record lows to move away from traditions and embrace public opinion so just a minute in the cold he did come from those filters but he had created his mood and he was a change of face in the shape of generation but now that he's become president he's got a slightly different style but in terms of what policies as you think it sounds more and more like the policies that everyone is as you age and they do not know how to express their discontent except have against those sponsors again with mainstream

parties and leaders who championed modern liberal values losing popularity we could have an electoral power vacuum but that won't stay empty for a long. u.s. national security adviser has announced the new wave of sanctions against three locking american countries john bolton described the left wing governments in cuba nicaragua and venezuela. the troika of tyranny in this hemisphere cuba venezuela and nicaragua has finally met its match the press of regimes and ideologies forces of oppression to tallaght tarion ism and domination they worship a false we know their day of reckoning awaits a nicaraguan regime like venezuela and cuba will feel the full weight of america's robust sanctions regime we will no longer appease dictators and despots near our sure john bolton also went on to accuse the three nations of violating human rights

the scribing them cradle of communism sanctions have become a key foreign policy tool of the trump administration with recent threats against several other world powers. run for many decades has been the world's central banker of international terrorism russia has been aggressive giant ah to driving us to take you know money they're rebuilding themselves european union of course was set up to take advantage of the united states to attack our piggy bank great and you know what we can't let that happen canada what they've done to our gary moore who is a disgrace former u.s. diplomat jim just told us he believes the sanctions policy could backfire. i think sometimes people in washington especially in congress think of sanctions as something we can do that short of an act of war and i favor the position of former congressman ron paul who believes that sanctions are an act of war and there are hostile actions the damage in other country hurt their people sometimes result in

the deaths of their people and it's morally legally politically wrong we're in the process of sanctioning almost everybody in the world that we don't like include the russians and the chinese and the venezuelan to the iranians and the syrians and so forth this is the way we deal with other countries and we're even threatening to sanction our own allies if they do business with russia for example cooperated with the building of nord stream to or if they buy energy from iran this is not a way to increase americans america's standing in the world and i think it will come it will come back to bite us i think this will end up burning a lot of bridges not only with countries that we have problems with but even with our closest friends. a ukrainian court house prolong the detention of a russian journalist until just before the new year karylle the shinseki who has jewell russian ukrainian nationality was arrested in kiev in may on charges of

treason russia's foreign minister and the secretary general of the organization for security and cooperation in europe joined calls for his release. i called on the ukrainian authorities to expedite the investigation on the serious charge just brought against issue ski and to conduct such a meaningless occasion in full compliance beats to principles of rule of law necessity and proportionality. it is obvious that shinseki was a risk that solely because he was carrying out his professional duties describing it analyzing current events in ukraine as he was doing this in order to present the truth to those wanting to know more about it in a climate where the russian media is being silenced in the country. well additionally today friday marks the international impunity for crimes against journalists many gathered in front of the ukrainian embassy in moscow to demand the release of krill. number was among them now here in
