a flood of fakes make it on to facebook as an independent test with new tool to curb misinformation discovers it seems to be far from robust on the case. south korea orders japan to pay significant damages to steel workers who were coerced into forced labor during the second world war we look at what's really in the country's future right now. one u.s. juvenile detention center when a payout of the stuff forced them to take part in fight nights for the entertainment. guards would be laughing and keeping watch so predominantly it was for entertainment of the guards. and the good evening this is all to international with me kevin i would think for much for your cheating to us this hour ok so first in a move being described as the toughest sanctions. regime the trumpet ministrations
12:02 pm
announced the renewal of both new and old penalties on a roll of double whammy juda come into force very soon or monday to get latest on this story. in office with this now it got my pompous and i was more and tougher sanctions on iran we've been there before it's caused a lot of controversy what's said on monday then more than well basically what it means is whatever was achieved under the iran nuclear deal whatever. brief that iran was given at the time it's not only just being taken away but also the trumpet ministration is adding some of the more sanctions on top of what had already been in existence like for example we do know that such sectors of economy as energy shipping finance will be targeted in total the united states said to target seven hundred entities and this includes both individuals companies even vessels and ships they're saying there will be some exemptions when it comes to the areas
12:03 pm
of economy like for example food or medicine so some crucial stuff will be exempt from penalties but the really big things like banks and even the central bank are being tapped targeted this monday right ok well let's get it what do you think of this what talk about these exemptions that's a bit more about what was said we want to we want to achieve maximum pressure but we don't want to harm friends and allies. ok let's have a tough balancing act isn't he was he talking about there that he doesn't want doesn't want to know who wants to. talk about with exemption here that small group of well from well listening to this you could assume you could have assumed that he was talking about for example europe because europe is normally viewed as america's biggest ally with the u.k. and germany and france being there but no problem what happened today from the actions that the united states are saying they are going to going to take apparently mr bolton there was talking about asia and middle east because we do
12:04 pm
know that for example iraq will be said to be exempt from sanctions india also and some other countries will be exempt from any penalties in europe it's a whole other area and europe stays in europe it's still washington still promises retaliation if europe misbehaves and refuses to cut down their business because they have been reticent to pass their labor in the human chain that you know but yeah they were because europe was kind of was going to say on the fence but even now that europe has been dead against the united states pulling out of the deal they were insisting that they will keep they will keep they will stay faithful when it comes to the iran nuclear deal they won't be pushed into b.d.s. when it comes to the united states and so yes so far that's that's where it stands but we do know that still iran had to cut down its exports by approximately eight
12:05 pm
hundred thousand barrels per day and interestingly enough this is exactly pretty much more or less exactly the market share that the united states grabbed in turn exporting some seven hundred thousand barrels a day increasing their own crude or exports and so because with this whole thing the big debate is how this will impact the oil markets not many people want. oil prices go go skyrocketing and so the united states media promising it will be fine and they are ready to fill in the gap and grab more money and their coffins brought the maid to see what the reaction is going to be to this on monday then from iran or i thought you see go down off the wall close to the united states but also being targeted with american sanctions new measures have been announced against three latin american countries to is again the u.s. national security adviser described the left wing governments in cuba. venezuela.
12:06 pm
the troika of tyranny in this hemisphere cuba venezuela and nicaragua has finally met its match press of regimes and i 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 job almost 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 to the temple destruction of course of specially 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. good trading us to take you know money they're rebuilding your
12:07 pm
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 the sanctions policy. 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 they're a hostile action 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 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
12:08 pm
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 so 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. people posing as political candidates russian trolls even i still facebook struggling to live up to its transparency pledge it made of late but continuing it seems to approve fake advertisements from fake so says the judge introduced that new tool us months to try to kill misinformation on his platform than little kids takes a close look at whether it's working on will. remember how the zucker vowed 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
12:09 pm
that we verify every advertiser who's doing political an issue well the issues back again we can't prevent all governments from all interference but we can make it harder we can make it much harder and again baseball is unveiling a new so called war room facebook was created when it's calling the war around the word. teams of patrolling for fake news misinformation and meddling to multiple balls in a big brainstorm but also it was finally found well no shady sponsor can post political ads without proper vetting verification the social media even made this salute video to make sure you appreciate their efforts there was never anything that delivered this same kind of visibility into who paid for 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 on the new controls except they did. big time facebook's not meeting
12:10 pm
that higher standard of transparency we received approval to buy political ads on both books 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 but while the few posts slipping through the net could be understandable some of the ads 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 and disclosed the funding as paid by 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 forstmann to isn't perfect and
12:11 pm
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 at a little the notorious political consultancy bad 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
12:12 pm
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 meantime another tech giant for the heat right now is google star of the stage the women's walkout thursday in protest over the company's handling of sexual misconduct claims to reach fever pitch after revelations that a high profile executive allegedly been given 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 is more than that they say it's not my slate of case they're demanding changes to the company's general work culture including greater transparency with settling harassment cases google says it's vowed to address the issue.
12:13 pm
for teenagers who are inmates in the u.s. juvenile detention center one a near one hundred eighty thousand dollars settlement 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 entertainment boys who didn't want to do battle were 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 sixty r.t. heard more from the boy's attorney. it 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
12:14 pm
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. and easy relations between south korea and japan have suffered another blow tokyo's outrage the cole 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 menace to the law. i'm very sad and i'm crying a lot because i am the only one it could be pennies for a big company or
12:15 pm
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 i wish the verdict had come early if it had my husband would have seen that it was a lifelong burden of his and it's really sad things turned out this way. 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 gino japan's even lost to communist china in a favor ability poll taken by south koreans last month tokyo was meant to take part
12:16 pm
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 sabur eyes 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 is now in jail. clearly changed
12:17 pm
mistrust that exists between the countries and these still. exists throughout korea both north and four years of 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. among the stories coming up in the break just ahead we check which way the wind's blowing leading up to the next you parliamentary election coming up. with lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the
12:18 pm
ruling classes can protect themselves. in the final. one percent. we can all middle of the room sit. room. 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 raid in truth to stand losing business you just need as the right questions get the right answer . the. question.
12:19 pm
again which is months ago before the european union's parliamentary elections polls all make it easy reading for the blocs ruling parties votes a preference seems to be veering towards more radical quarters and what could that 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 windowing for both the center right and the center left the big winners you're all 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 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
12:20 pm
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 mark ron 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 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 my soul he did come from those sponsors but he had created his movement 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 policy is that everyone is as you age and they do not know how to
12:21 pm
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 a long. follow up for story boy e.s.a. in english seaside villages phone of some cutting someone wanted attention of the u.s. midterm election campaign jailing sounds is no locally as one of the u.k.'s most deprived areas but images of its to laugh or dated streets appeared on a republican party post a call to fed but a trouble polly boyd went to the place. what links this essex seaside town to the upcoming u.s. midterm elections an insensitive political one hundred that's what miracles 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
12:22 pm
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 all rolled across the country to try to pocket america are and then you come to a cover of a walking joy and you see the different plane. when it is in america we don't remember for the right now 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
12:23 pm
because of the t.v. show that happened way before yeah nobody want to come study would so you become a speech 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 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
12:24 pm
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 heads append 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 came to town 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
12:25 pm
interesting suggestion came from the director of a documentary about j. which he said that dr nick stella should come over hair 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 there would have one or two things to say to have. fun of this program a snapshot of history real rarity this camera dating but the second world war has been recovered from a trench in southern russia and goes all the also for all that so i was going through one frame for the roll of film survived. and see that's the troops couldn't approach the strange they killed him with nate's ground cover.

12:29 pm
you could be. fair. a lot of woosh only by did got up when we were shown. can we even remember the events of a century ago and if so why is that we went out in search of people who view russia's nine hundred seventeen revolution as a global event. festival we went to visit a leftwing ideologist and famous french philosopher. so. maybe it's not supposed to know that your books focused on the bust of teeth. and
