4:05 pm
a few hundred cows three jeeps and ten thousand bucks this isn't from a fresh out on a billboard somewhere in the sudanese savannah the auction and wedding are done and over with and guess where the bidding happened on facebook any form of human trafficking whether posts pages or groups that coordinate this activity are not allowed on facebook and so they took the auction posts down good job facebook just one problem like i said the wedding dress had been worn and it took days and days for the tech giant to act now this is how the family tried to impress the bidders by pitching the girls height the kids of the winner are guaranteed for n.b.a. slots and among the competing want to be husbands are said to have been local government officials. they need to be suspended from their office and whoever is involved in
4:06 pm
this auctioning also late unaids to be held accountable that a girl could be sold for marriage on the world's biggest social networking site is beyond belief. yes most of the activists fury was about how an entire online auction campaign could happen all facebook's radar so let me give you a quick reminder of some of the do's and don'ts on the network facebook is off limits to you got it fake news and it's up to some mysterious fact checkers employed by the tech giant in america to decide what's good for you to read and what's not also among the stuff that's been banned by zox people are posts featuring the paintings of peter paul rubens because of nudes in them even though he's one of the most remote artists of the seventeenth century or this story on the starving children in yemen by the new york times for the same reason in that case concerns over facebook's image posting policies at least for some while outweighed
4:07 pm
concerns over a disastrous famine in a war torn country well we'll see if they're as alert next time someone tries to sell a teenage bride for cattle the response from facebook is oh we took it down as soon as we found out but clearly the implication there is that they still despite you know so many similar stories of things that shouldn't be on facebook being on facebook for too long as far as i can see so far there's been no there's been no concrete answer from facebook as to how they're going to show that this doesn't happen again and for it to have been out there for days while this whole gruesome process was completed. seems you know it's a mystery something that should take much more responsibility for and spend more of the profits are not actually making sure the platform is safe and is no abuse to the sake of human trafficking. getting the kids in front of the t.v.
4:08 pm
to watch cartoons should be a safe bet to keep them quiet for a bit just may show they're not being programmed with propaganda some western news reports. globally acclaimed russian series is trying to influence young minds as jacqueline phooka reports. and that little sweetheart was matia from the cartoon in the bear originally russian the series has been translated into dozens of languages and won the hearts of millions across the globe but it turns out there may be a sinister side to the enduring little girl and her protective that didn't make trying to. see now what russia has forgotten to mention there is that some cartoons are in fact evil putin propaganda yep according to a times u.k. article moshe is just another putin pop it is funny steep. but also
4:09 pm
a plucky she punches a bunch of weight is no fun fish to see is putin ask but it seemed to be particularly worried about one scene and a single episode or moshe's seen wearing a soviet border guards hat. apparently that's meant to be a statement on russia's defense of its borders but even if we say that's true what kind of kid would pick up on that but hey it's best to start when they're young right the studio behind this propaganda masterpiece of course denies being influenced by the kremlin's hand saying they received no state funding but we did a bit of digging and found some ominous signs you simply can't ignore here comes the kremlin for all of two seconds that could easily be interpreted as a soviet red star to skies as an innocent christmas decoration and you may not realize it but the weird hat that must have got on here is
4:10 pm
a traditional russian hat now i know those examples aren't so much propaganda as they are just random russian things but that's all we could climb but worry not it turns out the bear itself. as a representation of russia as a whole. you think russia right the best symbol is russia it's a fact it's a struggle for the most part of a hybrid exposure in which a negative image of russia is replaced by a positive oh the horror the horror that you know what your children are being exposed to and can protect them accordingly. the bear are not coming to. masha and the bear is hybrid. british empire. and who sums up american decadence that's. my name is. a very cute they don't seem to be particularly true native. i really really do not want to read more about how the back is to this company and. i can confirm
4:11 pm
that i watched two episodes there when i was nine and i suddenly became a quitter he speaks russian. members of the world chemical weapons watchdog locking horns of a plan to broaden its powers back in june a vote went in favor of allowing him to apportion blame but russia and china are among the countries that. opposition on the proposal made in june is that in downing the o.p.c. dubey with the functions is not meant to have would constitute an infringement on the un security council's proud. citizen in front of us today. what was agreed by suggesting it was. simply not true coming from the russian federation. i might be euphemistic
4:12 pm
and say ironic but frankly it is pungent. what have they done for the last few years. to connive with their syrian ally trying to bury the truth of what has happened in syria alongside. from the use of chemical weapons by the assad regime the delegations present at the conference are told to vote for everything proposed by the western group and a number of times those delegations of come under psychological pressure from the same countries this is ample evidence to the extent of hypocrisy it's open lies and hostility on the part of bill's delegations maybe the united states side would like to ask questions about the lives of syrian people but i believe that they lie when they say they really care about victims in syria between the times terse diplomatic language used in the chamber it's fairly clear to see that there is
4:13 pm
a split in the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons right now that splits pretty much goes down the lines of the u.k. in the united states on one side china and russia. to the split is the proposal that was voted through now early in june of this year that was put forward by the united kingdom would give the o.p.c. w. extended powers that would give them the power to identify perpetrators of chemical weapons attacks now russia says this goes against the charter which created the the o.p.c. w in fact saying it would step on the toes of the the un security council which currently has those powers that in turn was described as a contingent he's called crissy by the us ambassador the russian permanent representative to the o.p.c. . he said russia's western partners were doing their best to
4:14 pm
undermind russia's proposals considering all the tricks of so-called partners use we understand they are really afraid if they do all this if they weren't. fraid unfortunately we see the our american colleagues are continuing their conflicting line and we're used to it they already left the paris climate accord the iran nuclear deal and now they're attempting to derail the whole o.p.c. w. of the russian ambassador calling for the vote means that they wrapped up on a monday evening with that vote hanging over us it will be sorted out on tuesday morning we're expecting to see everybody back here in the hague bright in early to try and get into an end of this current impasse. the british prime minister will have to press on this week to try and seal the deal over brags that he took a shower gel to leave the e.u. on march the twenty ninth next year just over four months away after that twenty sixteen referendum and the british public bitterly divided on the issue the other
4:15 pm
twenty seven east ater expected to sign off on the so-called divorce papers and european representatives and giving some positive vibes that the deal will finally be concluded this week. just to brief the ministers do you twenty seven degree window to reach last week negotiators level and a draft to reach their all agreement as well as on the outline of the particular correction on the future relationship we are in fact at the decisive moment in this process no one no one should lose sight of the process the progress that would be achieved in brussels and in london. i am pretty that ministers to this report to overall package globally speaking this deal is fair and balanced we want an orderly exit of you came and twenty seven stand behind that united.
4:16 pm
the resume struggling to get support for it back home where it's led to a raft of government resignations and party plots to ouster from ten downing street after one of her toughest weeks yet as pm they said that getting rid of her would not make the brags that talks any easier. it's actually about what's right for the country and as far as i'm concerned i would be distracted from actually the important job in this critical week of negotiations of making sure we do get that final good deal for the country but you know a change of leadership at this point isn't going to make the negotiations uneasy and it's not going to change the parliamentary arithmetic some of the biggest criticism of trey's amazing to fourth plan comes from within her own party at least twenty five conservative m.p.'s say they have submitted letters of no confidence in the prime minister forty eight are needed to trigger a leadership vote it's taking a toll on the party towards the slipping in the polls as bragg's in supporting voters lose faith in the p.m.'s plan it's seeing the opposition labor party take
4:17 pm
a three point lead to a ramping up pressure for a snap election we spoke to strategic and political analyst paolo a phone who says he might be backing this deal simply to move on from private. dealing itself is a sort of a program not a deal so it says that the greedy to be done. that meanwhile nothing like that is a measure of the seabirds said that probably everything will be postponed up to two thousand and thirty two so what happens within out doesn't like to use a sort of a leg or insufficient in which the decision is ridiculous it looks like the. european union leaders in particular. political aspirations wants to get a treaty of the. files and so say the job has been done to really just be sealed. and he can feel free to move to other positions as you're supposed to do.
4:18 pm
just sit in the stands even in the u.k. there is this sentiment that means this great city issues a sort of a daunting case for the entire structure of the situations. protests have broken out across the netherlands over a controversial christmas character called black pete celebrations featuring the character have come under increasing criticism in recent years with accusations pete encourages racial stereotypes. to a. paid has been part of dutch christmas fests since the mid nineteenth century when he first appeared in a children's book he is the trusted helper father christmas climbing down chimneys to deliver presents and sweets to children in parades and other appearances black
4:19 pm
pete is played by an adult in blackface a curly wig and colorful clothes. this year's protests follow years of complaints and censorship of black people in the netherlands and abroad back in twenty eleven a dutch christmas celebration was cancelled in a small canadian town after complaints of racism in twenty fifteen several dutch cities altered black people's image slightly for parades giving him sort on his cheeks rather than a full black face a school in ottawa decided to remove black pete altogether out of respect for the diversity of his students and only a month ago dutch broadcaster n.t.r. ditched the blackface version of the character instead opting for cert marks but on the streets of the netherlands there's been mixed reaction. we stand here to protest because we'll find a deal. with one of these to change it so the festivities are pleasant for everyone i think it's. because they don't see.
4:20 pm
these black or white we talk would. i think it's. it's a non-disclosure. i think that we should keep the festivities as they are and keep black people but i see no point in having a white heat this is for children. independent journalist lucre very told us that while he regrets the potential lost of this tradition he understands the need to move with the times back in the day that was acceptable it was acceptable colonial practice but it's not now and this is the objection from those protesting against the tradition isnt it. yes yes and i understand i mean if it goes so far it's it would be it will be very difficult to defend this tradition but i remember vividly in the first year of my primary school you know being scared of this guy you had is surprising eyes coming to us it was a white man in
4:21 pm
a black face but he was the interesting character not since nicholas you know the same book a he was a nice old man but we were more interested by this person with the big crawling eyes so it's impossible i think to continue as he is but or originally it is not racism a troll. we live in a funny world where the political correctness is becoming credible things evolve and obviously with the outcry in the netherlands you cannot keep a swat to pete pete that's it's unfortunate for those who love traditions but so it is. protesters in mexico have clashed with police during a demonstration against a wave of migrants making their way through the country. by. i. hundreds gathered in on the u.s.
4:22 pm
border where a caravan of my friends from central america trying to make their way into the united states last thursday alone about two thousand migrants arrived in the area and around a thousand more are expected that life would be stuck there for months while asylum applications a process putting pressure on mexico local services the u.s. has ramped up its border security with helicopter calls and why and for the residents of tehran tempus a frail. they're not migrants is a human avalanche but they're not against the migrants i'm against how they're entering the country. this demonstration is necessary to push for the respect and rights of tijuana citizens we do not protest against anyone in particular we only demand respect for our city and the covers but then they invade our lives and nobody protects our homes can i allow someone to come into my house to invade my life or demand that i feed them with what i have earned well no way i want to
4:23 pm
register i want to ask for asylum because nine months ago my brother tried to kill me in a political campaign but what are we going to wade through a little bit because people say that it is like the not going to give us anything the doing that so people get exhausted not deported to endure. when they mount a milestone on the completion of a major black sea gas pipeline project with the russian and turkish presence announcing a key offshore lines being finished r.t. senior correspondent mark gasnier has the details. the completion of the portion of the turkish dream is indeed and of itself a milestone politically and economically this is the chief objective is speaking nine hundred kilometers of pipes to power. it's running together laid under the black sea at depths of up to two kilometers under the under the sea itself
4:24 pm
suddenly this is done very quickly and like me putin expressed hoops that the pollution of the pipeline will be laid just as quickly as two with the pipelines themselves they have a fruit a combined throughput of thirty billion cubic meters of gas a year that is enough to keep twelve million european households heated supplied with energy with natural gas for a year so certainly that is a huge amount of energy that europe is now going to be getting from an alternative source the presidents of russia and turkey who met again to mark the occasion both expressed optimism that this is only just the stuff to talk them we and our russian partners have now come to the final stage of the project and this is a project we've put a lot of effort into russia is a long term reliable partner and a very important natural gas supplier. but i want to thank the president of turkey
4:25 pm
it's good mr you know that i'm going to thank you if. that but i. just google you for his political will and courage shame why because projects like this can't be realized without cities under increasingly competitive conditions. over the last year was so not to be approved as being a frequent guest here was turkey whether it be face to face meetings with the president that will try lateral meetings including iran three countries have helped establish broken ceasefire was in serious at the demilitarized zone and through their agreements that efforts a military invasion of. by the syrian government was averted were godless both lead . of ramallah time and time again the russian and turkish relations are on the up and up that they're breaking new levels was for the construction of nuclear power
