2:04 pm
there's not a single european country on that list instead it's allegedly india iraq and other nations from those parts of the world another concern washington wants to allay a collapse of oil markets amid fears that prices will just skyrocket if iran's oil pipe runs dry iran's oil exports have already fallen by some eight hundred thousand barrels per day while america has enjoyed a comparable increase in its crude exports so according to the us not to worry they're happy to fill in the gaps putting out additional oil there in exchange for an extra buck. and the us the european union has to remain committed to the twenty fifteen around dale adding that brussels is working on like an ism is to supporting the businesses and to preserve the financial channels between the block and tehran scholar at the center for middle east for teach extent is about as long as it believes that pressure put on iran by the united states will have global

consequences due to the lack of cooperation from different sides including the allies in the european union and european countries this seems that maximum cannot be fulfilled. against the united states but if you want to look at this issue globally and the impact it can have it and they a model for the nonproliferation because then they're clear there was considered to be a model for that n.p.t. . treaty and this can and then that model by bringing some security council cancers for the countries in the region as well as some countries in the europe which are looking at iran from a security perspective. i said to him but also being targeted with the firepower of american sanctions you might as have been announced against three latin american

international terrorism russia has been aggressive giant ah good driving us to take you know our money they're rebuilding the 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 only us diplomat jim 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 they're all 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 venezuelans of the iranians
2:08 pm
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 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 charles and even on self has been struggling to live up to live up to its transparency pledge by continuing to print. from thanks phil says the tech giant introduced a new tool in last month's tech misinformation on its platform holkins takes a closer look as to whether it's working on and. remember how the zucker vowed to protect your news feed from fakes all you believe the biggest problem of modern
2:09 pm
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 it so 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 is true. it it what it's calling the war room were teams of patrolling for fake news misinformation and meddling of the multiple scandals and a big brain storm 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 this same kind of visibility into who paid for political content on facebook until today ads related to politics have information about who
2:10 pm
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 that higher standard of transparency we received approval by 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 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
2:11 pm
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 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
2:12 pm
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 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 easy relations between south korea and japan have suffered another blow to outrace at a court ruling that awarded south korean steel workers over eighty eight thousand dollars compensation for forced labor to 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
2:13 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 and i wish the verdict had come earlier he should had my husband would have seen that it was a lifelong burden of his and it's really sad things to this way. but the knighting 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 so but the host said there was 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
2:15 pm
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 the brutal occupation by 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. fourteen eight years who were inmates at a u.s. juvenile detention center have won a near one hundred ninety thousand dollars settlement after it was revealed gods forced them to take part in so-called knights the lawsuit says two guards let youngsters out of the south and into a larger room to fight each other for entertainment boys who didn't want to do battle before stint with tougher inmates while the guards watched as the clashes
2:16 pm
took place weekly during a three month period twenty sixteen auti heard more from 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
2:17 pm
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. just months to go before the european union's parliament chey and actions policy making easy meeting for the blanks willing parties but a preference seems to be varying towards more radical courtis and that could lead to an unprecedented shake up in european politics europe's political establishment is set up for a beating 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 this feeding is that there's a kind of the extols shouldn't among voters because they feel that the traditional have nothing you say they feel contempt from those bulges that it's not exactly you always making them popular is making making just anybody who french president
2:18 pm
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 nationalists 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 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 the cold he did come from those filters but he had created his attitude and he was a change of face in the shape of generation. now that he's become president he goes like you different style but in terms of what policies you in it sounds more and
2:19 pm
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 along. with the u.s. midterm elections just around the corner a new poll shows people believe both the national media and the president on trial responsible for defining the country the numbers show sixty four percent think the media is to blame while fifty six percent say it's the man in the white house the poll was conducted in the wake of a spate of attentive attempted mail bombings and a shooting at a pennsylvania synagogue the results came out just after the latest trying to tweet condemning what he called the chu enemy of the people. there is great anger in our country caused in part by inaccurate and even fraudulent reporting of the news the
2:20 pm
fake news media the true enemy of the people must stop the open and obvious hostility. and report the news accurately and fairly that will do much to put out the flame the response from america's mainstream outlets wasn't long coming to an alice john avlon a compact trying to stretch a coteau attendings tearing the reign of terror. from. the enemy of the people is a phrase you generally hear from u.s. presidents but it was used during the french revolution radicals to describe their enemies who they often accused of get this spreading false news to divide or trouble the people you know the average american you know they don't read a lot of news we know that the it's connected to the trust and i think that this is trust it runs deep in lots of different ways and i think at the local level especially because some people see their neighborhoods or their issues or their concerns not either covered in the press and local news is really suffering because
2:21 pm
they don't have the resources that they once did but also at the national level down there and i think they're seeing that if they have a conservative perspective or if they're coming from a marginalized population that they're either ignored or sometimes just turned turned away i don't remember the last time i've seen cable news network really send anybody out into middle america to report on the issues they're out there now for the midterms and talking about how people may or may not vote and what the issues are that may be driving those votes but i don't i don't remember the last time i've seen an actual national correspondent going out the press get a lot of hits for her running sometimes has a rageous tucker it has a regis speech but also they get cable news has seen you know increase in viewership because it's become a lot of talking heads that is just now political commentary in trying to take hits at the president and trying to you know surface above some of those hints that
2:22 pm
there is that he's sending their way but that becomes fodder for the trumpet ministration of her time supporters to say look at this liberal press they don't about care. but it really does send some confusing messages especially at a time when the post is trying to gain back trust that it might might have lost over the last couple decades. craning cold has prolonged the detention of a russian journalist until just before the new year. who has russian ukrainian nationality was arrested in kiev in may on charges of treason russia's foreign minister and secretary general of the organization for security and cooperation in europe joined calls for his release. i call on the ukrainian authorities to expedite the investigation on the serious charges brought against the shoot skeet and to conduct such a meeting in full compliance beats to principles of law necessity for professionality. it is obvious that it was
2:23 pm
a risk that solely because he was carrying out his professional duties describing it analyzing the 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. friday marks the international day to end impunity for crimes against journalists gathered in front of the ukrainian embassy in moscow to demolish the release of. now here in moscow we are gathered in front 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 editor in chief he's also here among numerous others high profile journalists and everyone has come here demanding the immediate release a journalist was detained by ukrainian security service on me the fifteenth and
