8:04 am
upper hand out of round the new controls except they did. big time facebook's not meeting that higher standard of transparency we received approval by political ads on facebook and claim they were paid for by major political figures in just about an hour they passed facebook's approval process that's a little awkward while a few posts slipping through the net could be understandable some of the haves were just obvious to journalists took means allegedly shared by russian trolls back in twenty sixteen like this one jesus arm wrestling satan published it on a page called ratatouille for senate disclosed the funding as paid by the islamic state you couldn't make it up this mean was published in mike pence his name the page ninja turtles p a c in fact the only time advertising was denied 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 four
8:05 am
students isn't perfect and we won't stop all people trying to game the system but we have made it much harder and we will continue to improve since then a near identical experiment took place with a similar result journalists managed to get approval for ads paid for by cambridge analytic or the notorious political consultancy banned from the site after 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 adverse stories 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 is invalid political information to determine what is
8:06 am
in is in free speach. each 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 is in and what should be free speech and what shouldn't be giving them this overreaching censorship power is absolutely ridiculous and the tech giant feeling the heat is google wistar staged a women's walkout on thursday in protest over the company's handling of sexual misconduct claims to reach favored revelations that a high profile executive had allegedly been paid a golden handshake of nearly ninety million dollars despite allegations of sexual misconduct against him for many google staff taking part in this week's industrial action it's not an isolated case they're demanding changes to the tech behavior work culture including greater transparency when settling harassment cases the

company's value to address the issue. an english seaside village has found itself getting some one wanted attention in the u.s. midterm election campaign jeric sands is known locally as one of the u.k.'s most deprived areas but images of the still updated streets appeared on a republican party poster explains why. what links this essex seaside town to the upcoming u.s. mid-term elections an insensitive political one hundred that's what miracles here in jail exxon's in essex have been left to you making after 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
8:08 am
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 miracles they're all rather cross country to try to pocket america are and then you come to a cover of a walking guy and you see the different plane. when it is in america we don't leave room or for the right now again i was iraq and everything america we hear is just let's say we can referee it winds come in use an old fire of africa somewhere and say look your town is going to look like this is the bad news. and much noise should be used the user going to put a good picture on it we got a bit of hostility with the camera down there is it kind of is it is do you guys feel a bit kind of burned by the negative press attention that you guys have heard yes because it's a cliche that happened way before yeah i know you want to come study with it so you become a sticks in people's faces yes just you know. with you know people don't like it
8:09 am
they don't like it or the offending advice has now been removed and dr nextel as folks person has issued an apology or cough an apology our intent was never to smear to town and to photo 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 search 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
8:10 am
unemployment is rife in the town in fact sixty two percent of the people that live head to pend on welfare payments. in 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 they're keen to turn 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 j. which she 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 here would have one or two things to say to him. four teenagers who remains to the u.s. juvenile detention center of one of the one hundred eighty thousand dollars settlement of truth revealed the guards force them to take part in so-called noids the lawsuit says to god let youngsters out of this. into a larger room to fight each other for him to take in mint boys who didn't want to do battle with forced into bouts with tougher inmates while the guards watched its claim the clashes took place weekly during a three month period in twenty sixty heard more from the boy's attorney 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
8:12 am
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 cairo county juvenile justice center for various crimes nothing to outrageous or horrific cuyahoga county authorities apologized. 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. else around the world that easy relations between south korea and japan have suffered another blow we can report tokyo is outraged of a court ruling that awarded south korean still 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
8:13 am
a lot because i'm the only one 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's still alive all the other south koreans eligible for compensation for being pretty much so. 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 thanks to you this way 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 break out with the precedent the anti japan sentiment in korea has been brewing for
8:14 am
a while to juneau japan's even lost to communist china in a favor ability poll taken by south koreans last month tokyo was meant to take part in a naval event put on by so but the host said there's no way japanese ships would fly this flag associated with japan's military past so the savvy rise navy cut loose and pulled out ever heard of k. pop now that's the kind of territory where you don't really expect to run into that kind of conflict. well after one of these girls sang the japanese anthem in front of the japanese military koreans want to shut her down on t.v. there's even a petition for that on the president's website back to the nine hundred sixty five treaty ironically just three years ago the two countries leaders celebrated its fiftieth anniversary just so you know this woman then president. as the daughter of
8:15 am
someone who signed the agreement she's now in jail tides clearly changed. mistrust that exists between the countries and the still pain that exists throughout korea both north and south for the years of brutal occupation by japan which was from one thousand nine hundred forty five still linger and they there is not trust there is concern about a lot of past grievances and issues. in the middle east and ninety conscription protests turned violent in the city of tel aviv day thirteen ultra-orthodox jews were arrested during the demonstration. i was with a religious group blocked traffic while police try to disperse the crowd the tree
8:16 am
service in israel is compulsory for both men and women but the ultra orthodox community had been allowed to avoid it in order to study the jewish holy book of the torah however last year israel supreme court ruled that that exemption was unconstitutional. thanks so much here at international it's quite a pos three here in moscow right now plenty more to come on the way the u.s. directed sanctions firepower at latin america now calling some countries a sordid cradle of communism plus two we check which way the wind's blowing the next election just a couple of the stories ahead with me kevin zero in today. seemed wrong wrong but all wrong just don't call. me baby yet to say

proud disdain become educated and gain from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand out of the news business you just need as the right questions and demand the right answers. question.

again so just months ago before the european union's parliamentary elections and polls are making easy reading for the blocs ruling parties voter preference seems to be veering towards more radical quarters and what could lead to an unprecedented shake up in european politics the political establishment is set up for a meeting in may during the e.u. parliamentary elections and with support to win dealing 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 into a populist making making 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
8:19 am
a risk that is 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 and off for a tarion 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 my soul he did come from those filters but he had created his own and he was a change of face in the shape of generation. now that he's become president he's goes like huge difference. but in terms of what policy you think it sounds more and more like the policies that everyone is using and they do not know how to express

the discontent except have. with mainstream parties and leaders who champion modern liberal values losing popularity we could have an electoral power vacuum but that won't stay empty for long. u.s. national security advisers and i was to new wave of sanctions against three latin 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 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 are sure
8:21 am
john bolton also went on to accuse the three nations of violating human rights describing them as a cradle of communism sanctions become a key foreign policy tool of the trumpet ministration of late with recent threats against several other world powers to 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 them sell your 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 dairy farm workers is a disgrace former u.s. diplomat told us he believes these sanctions policies 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
8:22 am
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. the cranium colette's prolong the detention of a russian journalist until just before the new year ski who has jewel russian ukrainian nationality was arrested in kiev in may on charges of treason russia's

a course with tales online illegally. days away from the midterms and the president continues his war against the media and migrants would prove to be a winning strategy for the republicans and if not will the president be to blame we'll take a look at that on this edition. of the politicking on larry king after a solemn visit to the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh president club now renews his war against members of the media via twitter wednesday morning his spokeswoman and advisers have joined in his blaming the media for much of the anger

uses war against the media do you think there's a media intent on destroying the president you know i do think that the media in general and many of you in the media are good friends of mine larry and i frankly socialize with mirrors the media regularly and i think many of them do lindt tend to lend the lead story lean more toward the left now i don't think there's any sort of conspiratorial efforts going on to bring down the president or republicans in general but i do think that it does seep into the reporting that goes on and i can tell you for someone who works with a lot of republicans who feel like sometimes the coverage around them is less than fair that that becomes frustrating and so do i believe that what the president is doing will motivate in the elections i think the president is pushing back he has a unique capacity to be able to control the public discourse through his twitter account and through his public statements and he's willing to use that in ways that past presidents have not been willing to do.
