we have many things in this world and this is you know for everyone and why some people take our things all the power just for themselves and to see other humans. in the headlines this friday a flood of fakes make it on to facebook is an independent test of the site's new tool to curb misinformation discovers it's. also ahead to a rather english village ends up nonetheless front and center in the u.s. midterm election campaign mistakenly being used to illustrate a dystopian future in the state pays

a visit. a lot plainer. when it is in america. when you want to come study would say become a sticks in people's faces yes just you know. three year old is japan to pay significant damage is to steel workers who were coerced into forced labor during the second world war look at what's reigniting the country's future. former inmates in the u.s. juvenile detention center when a payout of the stuff forced them to take part in. whether it's attainment. would be laughing and keeping watch. for the entertainment of the guards. good afternoon my name is kevin i will be watching out. internationalists just

turned four pm this friday the second of november first then the this half hour as news update people posing as political candidates russian trolls and even i still facebook struggling to live up to his transparency pledge by continuing to approve fake advertisement from fake sources the tech giant introduced a new tool us months to curb misinformation on the platform that hawkins takes a closer look at how it's working out so far. 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 take down 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 the social media judge 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 pain political content on facebook until today ads really had 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 meeting that higher standard of transparency we received approval by political ads on facebook and claimed they were paid for by major political figures in just about an hour they passed facebook's a 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 means allegedly shared by russian trolls back in twenty sixteen like this one jesus all wrestling sites and published it on a page called ratatouille full senate disclose the funding as paid by the 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 poor 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 analytic a notorious political consultancy banned 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. meantime another take joy in the heat is google where staff staged a women's walkout on thursday in protest over the company's handling of sexual misconduct claims to reach fever pitch after revelations that a high profile executive allegedly given a golden handshake of nearly ninety million dollars despite delegations of sexual misconduct against him but for many google staff taking part in this week's industrial action is not an isolated case either they're demanding changes to the tech be more work culture generally clued in greater transparency when settling harassment claims for its part the company says it is vowing to address the issue. and english seaside village has found itself getting some rather of wanted attention in the u.s. midterm election campaign j week sans is no locally as one of the u.k.'s most deprived areas but images of its dilapidated streets appeared in republican party

poster balibo explains why. what links this essex seaside town to the upcoming u.s. mid-term elections and insensitive political and of that's what locals here in jail expands in essex have been left fuming 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 j. weeks 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 go to the trailer parks in america are and then you come to a caravan park enjoy a week and you see the different a lot plainer than what it is in america we don't live in riffraff there right now

i was iraq everything america our. yeah let's just let's say we're going to have a bit winds come in use an old fart river for a car. so you look your town's going to look like this is the bad news. and much noise you should be used or will use are going to put a good picture 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 of the t.v. show that happened way before yeah nobody want to come study with it so you become was this in people's faces just you know with with you know people don't like it they don't like it or the offending advert has now been removed and dr nick stella's spokesperson has issued an apology or call for an apology our intent was never to smear to town and to photo known to us as g. 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 here depend 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 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 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. for teenagers who roommate said to us juvenile detention center of one of the one hundred eighty thousand dollars settlement it was after it

was revealed the guards forced them to take part in so-called fight nights the lawsuit says two guards let youngsters out of the cells and into a larger room to fight each other for him to tell human boys who didn't want to do battle were forced into bouts with tougher inmates while the girls watched his claim the clashes took place weekly during a three month period in twenty sixteen hours he heard more from the boys attorney about it. 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. on the relations between south korea and japan have suffered another blow it can report tokyo was outraged at a court ruling that awarded south korean steel workers over eighty eight thousand dollars compensation for forced labor during the second world war on one of those men still alive. i'm very sad and i'm crying a lot because i am the only woman 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 if you'd had my husband would have seen that it was a lifelong burden of his and it's really sad things to this one. but the knighting sixty five agreement on wartime claims between the two countries and 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 a while to do you know 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 the 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 someone who signed the agreement she's now in jail. clearly changed mistrust that exists between the countries and these still.

exists throughout korea both north and for years the brutal occupation by japan which was from ninety to ninety forty five still linger and. there is not there is concern about a lot of past grievances and issues. in the middle east and anti conscription protests turned violent in the city to tell of the thirteen ultra-orthodox jews were arrested during the demonstration that. i members of the religious group block traffic while police try to disperse the crowd military service in israel is compulsory for both men and women but the docs community have been allowed to avoid it previously in order to study the jewish holy book the torah however last year israel supreme court ruled that the exemption was constitutional. is that

international court has four here moscow time on the way the u.s. directs its sanctions firepower at latin america now calling some countries a quote sordid cradle of communism that's ahead plus this we check which way the wind's blowing for the new next election. you know world of big partisan movies 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 back 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.

the talk of impending war around the world is on the increase the great power speak openly on the need to prepare for a conflict what does this tell us if anything it appears to be a sign the global order they came into being after the second world war and the cold war has come to an end what is replacing it. this is an international who just months to go before you opinions parliamentary elections polls are making easy reading for the blokes ruling parties votes a preference seems to be veering towards more radical quarters 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 voters that it's not exactly always making them vote the populist that is 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 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 voters voted for emmanuel mccoll he did come from those starters but he had created his own when he was a change of face in the shape of generation. now that he's become president he's got a slightly different style but in terms of what policies 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. sponsors again 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. the u.s. national security advisors announced

a new wave of sanctions against three latin american countries here's how john bolton described the left wing governments in cuba 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 are sure to abort most went on to accuse the three nations of violating human rights describing them as a cradle of communism sanctions have become a key foreign policy two of the trump of ministration with recent threats against several other will by was 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 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 dairy farm workers is a disgrace. to promote jim told us he believes the sanctions policy could well. 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 another 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. ukrainian coaches prolong the detention of a russian journalist until just before the new year carol who has jule 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 cooperation in europe of the joint 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 the principles of rule of law

necessity and professionality. 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. seized friday marks the international day to end impunity for crimes against journalists when i gathered in from some of the ukrainian embassy of mosco to them on the release of coalition ski on his return to coach the rovers the. now here in moscow we are gathered and front of the ukrainian ample see which is located right and the city center and today mainly have come here in support of the journalist and clued in artie's editor in chief she's also here am on numerous others high profile journalists and everyone has come here demanding the immediate release

a journalist who was detained to buy ukrainian security severs cell in may the fifteenth and remains in jail a sense that when he was arrested he was first transferred to the city hall for his so on where he was taken into custody and by court order and was accused of treason now he's detention has been extended it's and that happened even despite the news and reports of his deteriorating health the whole case has drawn criticism from numerous a international humanitarian as well as a journalist organization. rooted in coaching over there and our family for their stuff on news update a snapshot of history a little glimpse into the pasta congress they think about the second world war has been recovered from a trench in southern russia and against all the odds one small frame from a roll of film survived it is.

not the troops could approach the strange they kill here with us. we're lucky that this is a good camera and expensive film also the fighter covered camera with something like a notebook. faces

from the past well that's the way some of the stories are looking so far today this friday the second of embers and of course my name is kevin owen thank you for watching out. backs geysers financial survival bill they say money to develop. close to the music this is a central plank support dying a common kind of problem right now so i stopped. in twenty four to you know bloody revolution here to crush the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just

a lawyer here i mean your list book video of neighborly as i knew spilling into the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took part in this shit over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. when i last saw it seemed wrong. just on. me. yet to see. just the answer. and indeed for me it was the trail. when something you find themselves well it's a part we just of the common ground.

greetings and salutations. tell me if this sounds familiar by hawk watchers you get home from a long day's work you flip on your favorite network reality show and then as the show goes to break it comes on crawling out of your television from a dark place located somewhere in the sliver of madness between k. street and could do i'm speaking of course of the ubiquitous election season political ad you know the ones with the overly dramatic music and two dollars graphics package of the dramatic narration telling you how candidates so and so hates children loves crime wants to steal all your tax dollars and ultimately hates america and if they're not bashing their opponents the ads are small it's the soft focus of bears telling us how candidates so and so has true american values as

someone who loves their family children cops firefighters and their dog fish cat or whatever and that he or she will also talk with you about your problem sometimes in your living room at your work in your driveway or your front yard you know true american values. that come with one heck of a price tag yes p.q. media is now predicting that total political ad spending will reach get this six point seven five billion dollars in twenty eighteen in fact advertising researchers at boral associates actually predict that number to clock in even higher almost nine billion spent now these numbers are staggering my friends and the horse race politics of this year's midterms have got the media companies you know licking their greedy chops recently steve burke head of n.b.c. universal hailed the election ad spending during comcast third quarter earnings call announcing to everyone political is way up we're adding

a very very strong political season looks like looks more like a presidential year than a midterm year. so while all city water supplies are filling up with lead over thirteen million u.s. children face food insecurity and more than forty million u.s. citizens and do live in abject poverty are democrat republican friends are spending billions to enrich media moguls and get themselves elected. i think it's time to start watching the hawks. to. get the. real thing. as. to. what they like that i got. with. this.
