i there very good evening from kevin i'm in just over five pm here in moscow now hoping to stay with me for the next twenty five minutes or so for this latest news bulletin first people posing as political candidates russian trolls even i still facebook struggling to live up to its transparency pledge made by continuing to approve it seems fake advertisement from fake sources the tech giant introduced a new tool us months to try to curb misinformation on his platform don't hawkins takes a close look at whether it's working or not. remember how those zouk evolved 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 middling to multiple scandals and 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 joy even made this salute 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 meeting 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 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 means allegedly shared by russian trolls back in twenty six theme like this one jesus all wrestling sites and 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 his name the page ninja turtles see. and 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 students 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 a near 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 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 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 the 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 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 is and what should be free speech and what shouldn't be giving them this overreaching censorship power is absolutely ridiculous. meantime another tech giant thing that he does google worse stuff staged a woman's walk out on thursday in protest over the company's humbling of sexual misconduct claims and coverage favor the revelations that a high profile executive had allegedly been paid a golden handshake of nearly ninety million dollars despite allegations of sexual misconduct against. but for many google stuff taking part in this week's industrial action they say is not my case they're demanding changes to the tech boom of work culture more generally including greater transparency when settling harassment cases the company says it's valid to address the issue. of. an english seaside village has found itself getting some unwanted attention in the u.s. midterm election campaign of all things j. week sans is known locally as one of the u.k.'s most deprived areas but images of

its dilapidated streets appeared on a republican party poster polly boy cure explains why. what links this essex seaside town to the upcoming u.s. mid-term elections an insensitive political one hundred that's what locals here in jail exxon's 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 speed 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 here 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 remember for there 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 you're going to look at this is the bad news sells good news it doesn't. match nobody should new used are 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 had yes because of the t.v. show that happened way before yeah now when you want to come study with so you become a sticks in people's faces yes just you know we would you know people don't like it they don't like it or the offending advice has now been removed and dr nextel a spokesperson 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 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 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 were mates of the us juvenile detention center

one of the a one hundred eighty thousand dollars settlement it was revealed that god forced them to take part in so-called lloyd's the lawsuit says to god's youngsters. out of the cells and into a large room to fight each other for him to tell human boys he didn't want to do battle scenes with forced into bouts with tougher inmates while the guards watched on its claim the clashes took place weekly during a three month period in twenty sixteen. more for the boys 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 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 car or 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. on these relations between south korea and japan have suffered another blow can report tokyo is 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 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 early if it had my husband would have seen this it was a lifelong burden of his and it's really sad things to this way. but the knotting 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 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 seoul 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 someone who signed the agreement she's now in jail. 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 israel with japan which was from one thousand nine hundred forty five still linger and a there is not trust there is concern about a lot of past grievances and issues. in the middle east an anti conscription protests turned violent in a city near tel aviv on thursday thirteen ultra-orthodox jews were arrested during the demonstration. i members of the religious group blocked traffic while police try to disperse the crowd military service in israel is compulsory for both men and women but the ultra orthodox community had previously been allowed to avoid it in order to study the jewish holy book the torah however last year israel

supreme court ruled that the exemption was unconstitutional. because five moscow times thanks choosing us today feel news update on the way the u.s. directs it sanctions firepower at latin america calling some countries a sordid cradle of communism we'll follow that up and we check which way the wind's blowing for the next election.

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 up in the second world war and the cold war has come to an end what is replacing it. given the way in which the last terrorist attacks were proclaimed structured using european logistics these as you can see there's a certain desire to change the way of life change to society and for us. again which is months ago before the european union's parliamentary elections polls

are making easy reading for the blogs ruling parties 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 galaxies 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 emanuel mccoll 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 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 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 and i was the new wave of sanctions against three latin american countries there's no john bolton described the left wing governments in cuba you could argue are in 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 john bolton also 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 tool of late for the times of ministration of course with

recent threats against several of the 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 jim jeffords told us he believes these sanctions policies 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 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 venezuelans and 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 too 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 training code has prolonged the detention of a russian journalist until just before the new year kill ski who's got a jewel russian ukrainian nationality was arrested in kiev in may on charges of treason and russia's foreign minister and the secretary general of the organization for security and cooperation in europe of both joined coals for his release. i call

on the ukrainian authorities to expedite the investigation on the serious charges brought to ski and to conduct such a meaningless occasion in full compliance beats to principles of law necessity for professionality. it is obvious that the shinseki was a risk that soley because he was carrying out his professional duties describing it analyzing current events in ukraine 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. totally then that today friday marks the international day to end impunity for crimes against journalists many gathered in front of the ukrainian embassy here in moscow to demand the release of. was that. you know here in moscow we are gathered round of the ukrainian amber see which is located right in the city center and today many have come here in port of the journalist and clued in artie's

wars being recovered from a trench in southern russia and against all the old seemed one frame from that extremely old roll of film has survived. him sit back and that's the troops couldn't approach the strange they kill him with winnings to ground covered him. for luck even this is a good camera and an expensive film also the fighter covered camera with something like a notebook. faces

remains a threat here and threatens as a country most targeted by terrorists out of all the e.u. members. how can the terrorism threat contain. to hear him well as the other half past and former head of the french internal security of the ira. dangerous extremism is on the rise in france a country targeted by islamists both at home and abroad and is only just coming to terms with the new reality after stream of the riff attacks in recent years. one is the french know how containing terror compare is dealing with the danger reload. when it come to each european allies to come together in the face of radical extremism. and this question he thank you very much for being with us today hello so france's bill eight takes and border controls with its neighboring countries for another six months to a persistent terrorist threat if this measure is so effective in combating

terrorism maybe the border controls to return of the borders should be permanent. distance with this question brings forward two problems first we are in the schengen european zone where there is freedom of movement so when isis was around there was a very strong terrorist threats against europe and notably our country in particular was bloodied by terrorist attacks isis planned to infiltrate via the must have climbed this time immigration network switch to study allies the functioning of europe dormant networks to attack the states that were sending armed forces to fight in syria today massive illegal immigration has created a political problem for europe germany is directly affected to this stance of angle of merkel italy as well but surprisingly their new minister of the interior has decided to slam their borders shut it is true that we could occasionally close the borders for example for a weekend during those big international protests at the big international summits but right now there is insecurity linked to illegal immigration in the public
