10:05 am
another view the worst thing you can imagine well the warning comes after washington announced its full support of self declared interim president one quiet till now and with the split becoming deeper day by day as the of looks out the competing narratives surrounding events in the south american nation. venezuela is a country of two realities so stark so profound the differences in opinion in one reality president maduro is trying to put down a rebellion stop an upstart usurper one why do he's trying to prevent mutiny in the army even as we hear calls on c.n.n. to supply rebels with weapons and he's afraid that trump has ordered him killed no doubt but trump gave an order to kill me he told the colombian governments become be mafiosa kill me if something happens to me one day donald trump i'm
10:06 am
a colombian president will be responsible there is also a parallel reality born in no small part thanks to the united states chavez now maduro have long been a thorn in washington side in this reality why do is the real president he is america's candid it trump congratulated him on becoming president they discuss what to do with the former dictator and would do though they discuss business politics he has america's blessing and its protection i reiterate that the united states will hold venezuelan security forces responsible for the safety of all u.s. diplomatic personnel the national assembly and president going to any violence against these groups would signify a grave assault on the rule of law and will be met with a significant response sure now with the guarantee of safety of invulnerability
10:07 am
mystic why do wasted no time before beginning to issue orders. today i give you an order don't shoot the venezuelan people don't shoot those who are in a clear and constitutional way been defending your family your people go to work. your way of life today soldiers of venezuela i give you an order don't repress peaceful demonstrations like before such familiar scenes we see this all over the world palestinians protesting in the occupied territories the yellow vests in france catalan separatists in spain protesters in the u.s. but when police bully beat and arrest in those countries that's fine and dandy but they do it in venezuela suppression of democracy an attack on the free world. is not the democratically elected president of. the tramples democracy human rights
10:08 am
and rule of law the hook for a new start with the new democratic roods intimate institution in the country namely the nationalist sounding in its president who on the go idle that's why together with the e.u. we have offered algal example support. for the us why though is the cake sweetened bly of all but wait there's icing on top of those agreements that have not been recognized by the national assembly are illegal we will not recognize illegal agreements china has to understand that and russia has to understand that two realities two presidents two governments to venezuela's of course of cattle to continue like this a house divided cattle stand then surely these two realities will merge let's just hope it will be through civil war. latin america expert kevin young sais there is
10:09 am
a real threat of civil war in venezuela. this is certainly an attempted coup in progress the manoora government is is not in an enviable situation it's it's faces declining domestic support and rising discontent from all sectors of society but it's not by any means clear that people who are upset with them and who are a government will turn around and support a far right leader like. i think the threats of us and military intervention are designed in large part to convince the venezuelan military to switch sides and turn against maduro but as for what they're going to do you know it's anyone's guess at this point i think that regardless of what happens if if there was to be a military coup or. a large segment of the military siding with with the right wing opposition there would still be very heavy resistance including perhaps armed
10:10 am
resistance so there really is a real serious threat of civil war here and that's something that the tribe in ministration is actually perhaps trying to provoke. families and friends are seeking answers after a mysterious surge in children court with birth defects more than a thousand babies from french rural areas over the past twelve years have been born missing after an inconclusive probe some years back the government's not due to release a second report on the probable cause that's our news agency spoke to some of the families affected. i could tell by the gun ecologists look i could see him looking and checking the net but i could tell that something was wrong.
10:11 am
i want to know where she was born like that because mothers blame themselves and we think that it may come from us or that we did something wrong. we are asked to serve they this department uses this to say to collect all the data from hospitals maternity clinics and paid at chick services and we continued signaling to the authorities who didn't want to listen to our calls. they promised to keep us informed which meant a lot to us because we hadn't been told anything about a case about how children are three and seven but the inquiry started three years ago and we never had by them and. we are surrounded by agriculture fields so we naturally wonder about the use of pesticides why doesn't it happen to people who live in the city there must be an integral culture.
10:12 am
agency regrets its inaction and tried to find the answer you think could explain the cold causes behind the emergence of congenital malformation that. i saw that there was an issue because i knew very well how the french administration herc's i know how to explain this it's hard not to panic the public i think there is this fear of discovering that that causes couldn't danger a number of the comic interests. i just wish we had some answers my daughter has never really asked me i have always told her that she was born this way and that it was nature and it can happen that some children are born like that and now i'm thinking that if one day she asked me again i want to know how to answer. thousands of facebook members some as young as thirteen have reportedly been paid
10:13 am
by the social media platform for the data on their mobile phones but the up use to do the job has been done by apple after it was shown to have violated previous c policies despite that it's still available on a different operating platform droid well facebook has been suggesting since twenty sixty for users to install the facebook research up that's been paying them up to twenty dollars a month to do so when members were asked to give the up almost unfettered access to their personal information including private messages on social media it was also able to collect e-mails data on web browsers and information about the location of users the social media giant denies accusations that it was spying on the teenagers online up but. it wasn't spinors all of the people who signed up to participate went through on boarding process is asking put the less than five percent of the
10:14 am
people who chose to participate in this market research program routines all of them was signed parental consent forms or facebook even asked users to screenshot their orders page parental consent was also said to have been easily avoided in the entire process journalist derrick brew sees a lot of people don't understand what access to such data actually means. i think most people probably would find it unethical because generally kids are not going to understand what they're signing up for most people don't know what they sign up for whenever they sign the terms of service and even if facebook is saying i'm to give you twenty books or whatever they're handing out i don't think most people really understand how metadata and their digital footprint tells a lot about who they are as a person about where they go and just about their entire life and i'm not sure everybody really understands that when you sign up for facebook or any of these social media companies or any web site really when you click i agree without reading the terms of service and particularly with apps on smartphones most people
10:15 am
don't understand what they're giving companies permission to do and especially when it relates to the children. according to a recent poll the popularity of facebook amongst american teenagers hostage by twenty percent since twenty thing derrick rose again sees the social networking behemoths face going to great lengths to retain its market share. it is obvious that facebook is losing support in favor among the younger generations the younger millennial is and generations e is some people call them where most of them are using things like instagram which facebook also owns and things like snapchat and other platforms facebook is kind of seen like the older thing for the fat the parents and the grandparents i think what facebook is trying to do is to buy up other platforms like they bought instagram they bought what's up there the company that runs facebook mark zuckerberg and his team i don't think whether or not facebook the social network disappears i don't think they're going to go anywhere they're planning to invest and make sure that they have their hands on all the future social networks
10:16 am
a quarter of an hour into the program we're back with more news in ninety seconds. and what politicians do. put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most don't want to. let you do like to be press which is like before three of them all can't be good people. interested always in the waters in the. question. the millennium goals i think are trying to restore the rights of individuals rights of humans in the face of this dystopian nightmare and that's probably why the big
10:17 am
price is being held back from crossing over twenty five thirty thousand dollars per call it is because of the rise of the sea if she is successful and humans have a agency that's a net negative or a big point in the short term but will say because there's a lot of people that don't want her seizing power in any meaningful way. a long running rug between greece and the u.k. is back in the headlines it concerns the rightful owner of ancient artifacts known as the elegant marbles the director of london's british museum where they are on display was infuriated athens by ruling out their long term return saying that taking the marbles from greece was a creative act artie's alice to see a trick and picks up the story the british museum is back in the headlines this
10:18 am
time its director has stirred up trouble by seeing removing the world famous twenty five hundred year old parthenon marbles from greece to be taken to britain in the nineteenth century could be seen as a creative octet thanks to a new context you could of course be saddened by the fact that the original environment has disappeared when you move a cultural heritage to a museum you move it outside however the shifting is also a creative act quickly u.k. law prevents the return of such pieces but the problem is greece considers the classical marble sculptures stolen and wants them back seriously what was so creative in the destruction of the temple and the looting in the pillaging of a nation's keys to its ancient history greece is culture minister described the museum directors approach as narrow and cynical a mindset that downgrade. cultural heritage to an exchange sailed out but in fact it's not just greece that's pressuring the museum other artifacts perceived just snatched during the times of the british empire are being demanded back to so far
10:19 am
to no avail the museum is only ready to loan saying the pieces are better off being displayed as part of a wider collection. you have to take it keeping in view one hundred ninety two years because it was so months and we can have. millions of people come to enjoy the british museum every year let's find out what some of them here make of this longstanding you and your local seeing back in greece i think that's being here is probably for the greater good i had a sky a degree in art history so i feel like they should go back. and put.
10:20 am
in every museum in the world. why. i would keep them here if say were british arctic fox in greece i'm going to get would be viewed differently if i was greek i would want the return of no i consider this the way i consider what needed to be since i'm greeks and i'm also in favor of returning to the elgin marbles i guess it's quite nice. props to go hunting for a period because the exhibitions. i would want just to be some kind of sharing arrangement. if i build a house and someone in america the mix it cannot take it with him and say i will take good care of it and i will keep it in america come see it whenever you like see our goods me ok moving on now european diplomats have expressed concern over israel's decision to expel international observers from the divided west bank city of hebron. sweden and the other countries of the mission deeply regret the israeli
10:21 am
statements we believe that the mission is important and should continue. on monday israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said he would not renew the mandate of the temporary international presence in hebron accusing it of bias meaning the organizations current deal with israel will expire this. while the temporary international presence in hebron was established in the one thousand nine hundred to try and mediate the israeli palestinian conflict it included italy norway sweden switzerland and turkey working alongside local authorities the organizations aim was to monitor tensions in the city while maintaining some normality and giving a sense of security for the residents but with the group's mandate being blocked palestinian authorities have been once the decision butin of east twenty two years of turf. israeli settlers and israeli occupying army. committed forty thousand. people the question that we brought to the country is now but
10:22 am
there's a right of the right to it was unilateral action after the meeting they're going to mount from outside i don't think they do. ok for some insight on this we can cross live to john gardner a former un special rapporteur covering human rights in the palestinian territory your welcome to the program sir your tick firstly on benjamin netanyahu his view on not extending the mandate stating we will not allow the continuation of an international force that acts against us. well today the prime minister has committed to a radically new moms but i think this is very unfortunate because the. tube has reported role in monitoring the. system situation here brown and also in keeping the peace the situation in hebron is very volatile the citizens
10:23 am
are particularly at risk of many of them come from the united states and are determined to make as difficult as possible for the postilions and without the presence of jews in hebron it's difficult to imagine what would happen when our special report. was. in a vehicle driven by as it was assaulted but sydney so i know the situation very well and i think it will be a disaster if chip is to withdraw from iran the settlers themselves though they would argue the opposite there is footage of observers flushing israeli residents tires on in one case even slapping a boy are those grounds enough not to have them at least they're that baited to be removed that grouping. these are two mine incidents which two pairs already dealt with and i don't think that they can be used as justification for removing
10:24 am
two completely and were terminated in the agreement is absolutely necessary to keep their presence in here and if we are to have peace in the region of the was when just imagine a situation which the settlers run riot can israel's decision to remove those observers could be overturned or appealed and also just what you're on the program get we've got an expert on the case they still remain in the palestinian controlled half of the city regardless that's not completely clear. well him or butted into one part that is under the control of the palestinian authority. and the other is. a nuclear control of israel and. palestine is a bit of an. art. to it really difficult to have seen what will happen and israel may have the right to withdraw to terminate
10:25 am
the agreement quote to comply as who knew every six months but i do think his will be and fortunate decision or to the israelis there is opposition though nonetheless or isn't there do you think that tip could actually maybe be restructured perhaps have a rethink about how it operates and that could help calm the situation there. well as you probably know the palestinians have a groupie to agree to more did an international peacekeeping force in the palestinian terror green order to maintain peace between palestinians and the israeli settlers and this is always been refused to be is not. a united nations international peacekeeping force but it does go some way in that direction in the sense that it's by their trade agreement between israel and the palestinian authority to an acid contributing. countries to provide a force
10:26 am
a peacekeeping can monitor the situation and i think it is really necessary to maintain it we have around twenty seconds left i'm just wondering do you think that . international reaction other countries will be supporting the palestinians in this. i hope so but at the moment and the united states. european states seem to me and willing to confront israel we appreciate your take on this matter and your thoughts as well former un special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the palestinian territory john do guards. thank you i'm as are a lot for now it's a check in with stacy next on live reports here on twenty four seven our team internet.
