credit at zero percent and is exempt from the rule of law still can't seem to make money for shareholders which is that. headlining today the second kim summit ends abruptly in hanoi with no deal reached the sides failed to find common ground on sanctions and denuclearization. facebook's accused censoring conservative voices of whistle blows revealed how the social media giant suppresses content in the limits. but these live stream things there was no warning to the user these were actions that were being taken without the use that one plus for you details about sporting goods retailer to kathlyn is a drop plans to sell a sports version of the hijab in france even before it reached the shelves.
5:01 am
other get out today money is kevin zero in this is out international the will from on th q. moscow could have accompanied. donald trump and ended the second summit earlier than expected with no deal reached in a surprise ten according to president trump this is a result of disagreements over how far north korea has to go to get sanctions lifted eventually says the details. but talks were cut short because the agreement was made that you were actually supposed to have lunch and have a signing ceremony which never happened because it. was was made you know the reason behind that agreement was because the president of north korea the leader of north korea actually wanted the sanctions of the united nations. and tiredly lifted and bill there was about a sanctions. basically they wanted these sanctions lifted. in their
5:02 am
entirety and we couldn't do that they were willing to do new girl arge portion of the areas that we wanted but we couldn't give up all of the sanctions for the donald trump said that he could not give up entirely of the sanctions and cannot give just whatever the p.r.c. leader wanted so what he said is that it was in a good time to actually sign the deal and sometimes that's what great leaders do they just walk away for something to happen later on to potentially get actually get a bit of a better deal and what's interesting also here to point out is that he also mentioned that it's been a productive time between the two but i get in as you all to repeal the repeatedly saying that the deal was made because of the of the u.n. sanctions that he didn't agree with now that in this side on what's going to happen on the korean peninsula whether they're going to dismantle all the or the nuclear facilities but what he did promise was no missiles will be flying over the korean peninsula in the time being now if there's going to be a third summit that not clearly see if it's going to happen but there was kind of
5:03 am
open when it when it was mentioned another interesting factor to point out is that the two leaders of the regional leaders of korea and japan would be very very interesting the un their reactions on how what they have to see the outcome of this deal because if anyone has to lose it's pretty much them to. go not a job but get direct to the trans national foundation for peace and future is a child i think should time we show you look at all of the. media conference earlier on is that the case of a glass is not. full i look at the best of it is it making the best of a bad job or has genuine progress really been made you think. i don't think there are real progress has been made apart from what you know president trump is happy about meeting and with a great guy and getting a sense of personality in order we just not do with serious peacemaking it tells me also something we can i think the world has to learn very soon sanctions are a hell. sanctions don't think you can so easily impose on
5:04 am
a country you can never really find out when to lift them here up with sanctions and corning to some of the reports and trump himself has been. a stumbling block and let me add that the whole media coverage of this in my view is wrong we are not aware of the fact to which extent this is an asymmetric conflict not the real military expenditures is one percent of the of the united states south korea has five times larger military expenditures and north korea you can't treat least two as trump does as two only as part of the i ursus of our guest earlier on why has trump taken this is such a pet project can you play me previous or previous administrations for not doing more in the past think the above to let it get to this state the first place he said but why is he so focused on this is it turn to that maybe the promise of a nobel peace prize possibly on the table as he genuinely worried about the dangers
5:05 am
from north korea given what you've just said. i think probably he believes that this is an easy piece of cake because the united states is so formidable is stronger than north korea and he can kind of bully or trick north korea into these things he's not even mentioned before the meeting he said that we will see whether there would be a peace agreement after all these years as the peace agreement which is very important north korea already sent out an amicable knock away put all i want to be on sorry he said it was nam a couple walk away and the progress had been made and those were saying earlier on they got on really well but i wonder trump says it was trump who walked away the deal simply wasn't good enough for the usa or if it really was the case go on the seems to get that vibe as well that it was trump that actually did the walking away could it be more mutual i think it was because his formulation is we cannot we cannot lift all the sanctions for what we were offer from the other side you know it's the united states that has to offer something
5:06 am
because it's a larger part because it has all the cards in it and because it's so formally declared on for partial solutions lifting the. i don't understand why you couldn't do a partial lifting maybe north korea would not accept a partial lifting but want it all if that i think that is and begin to heal i think it would be a very fair deal because you know this is not our way to make peace it's something you planned it's something you negotiate something you involve the united nations in it's not and i mean we're living in a strange world in which you know two individuals whether the chemistry works or not between them is is going to discuss the future of the world and i don't think trump is very good in nuclear weapons as such because if he was really interested in getting rid of nuclear weapons which would be fantastic for a u.s. president he would never have treated you round the way he has do you think. judging by all you said there thought that north korea would be more of a pushover than it actually turned out to be because there's
5:07 am
a lot of positive talk going into this about to come out now not even of a next meeting is quite odd isn't it it's very our that's why i think there's nothing really happening in terms of substance here it's nice that they mean if i had been in their situation i would have spent that time together getting to know each other talked about some other issues maybe taken in some other ares updates and try to find you know get get a sense of each other maybe discuss when to meet again under what conditions what to prepare for the next meeting here up be a trunk has walked out as far as i can see from the from from the media i wish i was not there you see but i think he had walked out because if we don't do it on the other texts the final thoughts sorry about it for far you have thirty seconds ok so it's not global for trump's not quite but well for north korea big loser the south korean across japan looking on as well they must be very disappointed. i think everybody is disappointed and chinese media this morning is also disappointed are also disappointed to say you know instead of saying in directly they say we
5:08 am
will wait until we get more authoritative information about what really happened i mean to china this is a very important thing too because the united states and south korea are so strong militarily in this area and everybody would love in the world to have a peace agreement between the two koreas and nuclearization lifting of sanctions and a better relationship this has been dropped this has been lost at this meeting in my view i don't i'm not very hopeful for the future yeah we could talk for hours about this car as usual times against the yellow but director of trans national foundation for peace and a fusion research service e again thank you. know this coming about facebook when we talk about this transparency group project veritas is expose what it claims as a series of tools used by facebook to target conservative pages and restrict their content without warning they include classing posters hate speech limiting live streams and suppressing the reach of post this is how it's been explained. boosting
5:09 am
is a method of suppressing distribution this occurs because props such as share this video or disable interactive notifications are also disabled in the live feed boost associated with a live streaming video on facebook is removed ok karen's been on this story did more exactly but what facebook's been accused of it's been accused of so much of the last couple of years difficult and i want to start here what's this about well the latest is a form of facebook employees come forward with allegations about how facebook is actively discriminating against the accounts or pages of those who are deemed to have conservative views and they're doing this by using special features to d. boost the traffic of their posts so for example if one of these that chooses posts an update on their facebook page their followers wouldn't receive notifications in some cases facebook is simply removed content without even letting the users know the inside has described these tools being used by facebook as methods of
5:10 am
suppression he she is. and things are taken down like actually permanently deleted from facebook the user will typically get a notification the user can respond to those notifications and there are humans that actually read however with these live stream things there was no warning sent to the user these were actions that were bt being taken without the users knowing now this insider who was a former content review analyst for facebook just stumbled across these goings on really when she noticed them things on certain accounts. first i was wondering whether this is something that. i had a couple working theories i was like maybe this is an independent versus mainstream thing maybe independent thinkers on the left are experiencing the same kind of d. boosting but i didn't see that i looked at. the young turks page i love
5:11 am
that column capper next page none of them had received the same boost now she isn't the only facebook inside to come forward with such information as another facebook employee who was exposed how such tools have been applied to accounts which are described as being offensive or hate speech and these are terms which were applied quite loosely. things that are actually hate speech but that might. offend somebody. you know anything that is perceived as hateful even though no court would define it as hate speech and i've proven to be accurate this would of course be another blow to the facebook name to its credibility especially after we saw mark mark zuckerberg the c.e.o. of facebook i testified to congress saying that his company does not act on the political ideology of contents now we have requested comment from facebook on these
5:12 am
boosting tools they've yet to respond to us but they have responded to another media outlet where they rubbished their claims they said that this female former employee was just describing towards a former worker trying to get her own back as an engineer granted it must be difficult to know where to draw the limits on this is going to depend on what your view is. but anyway this isn't the first time. companies like these think intuitively. but accuse of being too heavy handed in some of the way that they do their filtering year you remember rightly there was a story that also from project veritas that came out early last year which released undercover footage of twitter employees this time appearing to admit to silencing conservatives then they would do this by using algorithms which would be pretty much bury the posts the twitter feed solved the. conservatives to their users wouldn't be able to find them so easily twitter at the time denied any
5:13 am
complicity in the actions of it staff but the worrying thing about these exposes is that it's leading to this impression that these social media giants like facebook and twitter that so many of us use it on a daily basis have their own political bias and this is the really worrying thing that it could be infringing on free speech or on the. front our next story kind of link to those well. facebook is clumping. british. tommy robinson from the platform instagram. when ideas and opinions cross the line and amount to hate speech that may create an environment of intimidation and exclusion for certain groups in society in some cases with potentially dangerous offline implications we take action tommy robinson's facebook page has repeatedly broken the standards posting material that uses dehumanizing language and calls for violence targeted at muslims he has also behaved in ways
5:14 am
that violate our policies around organized hate promises bampfylde of the online community many a one sided concern that the move is a politically motivated step to censor free speech because as i said just lets dependent on your outlook others praise the ban is a measure to target hate speech it comes after social media company stepped up efforts to block content dangers offensive but as our guest next. but you join social media networks you agree to the terms and conditions which those companies set out and it's very clear that he's deliberately and on numerous occasions misused the terms and conditions he's been given warning enough to warn you the reasons that facebook games of aspire not all drawn in very vague language there's very few specifics about exactly which conduct cross that is the new public sphere it's a place where people interact argue share content and share ideas and if the public square is good for anything it's good for challenging and dealing with arguments
5:15 am
think that inevitably brings with it certain obligations to stand up and defend freedom of speech well it's not about freedom of speech i mean would freedom of speech comes responsibility so if you want to criticize and question is slam on muslims then that's ok in a free society but what isn't acceptable is to hold every single most i'm responsible for the actions of a small minority of terrorists i think this censorship which does seem to be targeted against people who sell particular opinions is so damaging because it undermines that public role but private companies are playing so in the last forty eight hours i've had probably two thousand two thousand five hundred comments on my public facebook page i've had messages i've had death threats that's all been done by people on facebook so the idea that facebook is silence in the far right is laughable what facebook is doing is saying if you peddle hate and lies about a community then action will be taken and that's what's been done when you read the
5:16 am
facebook reasons for banning him they're drawn in very vague and under to kill a language which i think should make any defender of free speech very uncomfortable . it's sixty minutes past one of the afternoon this thursday thanks for watching out c international with your two did around the world i'm kevin now and when we come back after this break controversy sparks a made plans to sell a sports version of the hijab in france.
5:17 am
warren buffett you know these doing the stock buybacks which is you know used to be illegal so recently that's completely fraudulent and yes no governance or oversight whatsoever you know he's a more than one of the biggest are the biggest shareholder of wells fargo for example during that period when they were engaged in serial criminality when they were engaged in absolute fraud and he's a party to that so here's a guy who given unlimited credit at zero percent and is exempt from the rule of law still can't seem to make money for shareholders which is. disgraceful malloy michael cohen testified before congress wednesday and failed to provide any evidence of trump rush to collusion he didn't get a full welcome at the hearing with congressman accused him of being
5:18 am
a liar. pulled no punches though when he talked about his ex boss. today i am here to tell the truth about. he is a racist. is a con man. and he is a cheat mr trump knew of and directed the trump moscow negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it and i have never asked for nor would i accept a pardon from president trump ladies and gentlemen how on earth is this witness credible he's a fake witness his presence here is a travesty and you have a history of lying over and over and over again he said we were in search of the truth i don't believe that michael coleman is capable of telling the difference he lied to congress through false statements and written statements he lied to congress through his testimony even able to fight his false statements by releasing
5:19 am
him refuting his lies to the public with. it it's. worth bearing in mind here of course cohen was a trump comfort though for more than a decade. in the spotlight it will begin to three year prison sentence in the spring for tax and bank fraud as well as lying to congress we discussed his testimony with former us republican congressman michael patrick flanagan. as we call it in the united states when election season comes near we call it the silly season and in the silly season silly things happen this is a little early. something that you'd see in the silly season cohen is willing to use the word racist and criminal and liar and anyone who's willing to speak in that absolute in that strongest terms in washington will always have an audience on one side or the other there was just an angry man who wanted to be chief of staff who didn't get to be chief of staff who was furious he couldn't make a ton of money off the trump name after trump was elected president has decided
5:20 am
after all that he needs to get even in a vicious new york stupid sort of way and so he's going to come to congress and lie some more he's been disbarred for lying to the state of new york despite of the polls his law license because he's a liar a man who took their promise who took that oath and then took another oath in front of congress and has lied constantly can't be trusted ever to tell the truth even if he is telling the truth it will require cooperation substantiation and some backup and none of that was provided today just. sporting good retelling to kathleen's drop plans to sell a sports version of the job in front the company says it had hoped to build on the success it previously had been roc-a fella dubinsky next explains why it sparked such controversy even before it went on the shelves in fronts. it's incredible how such a small piece of material can cause such a commotion but here in france that's exactly what's happened over plans by the retailer to cattle and just stock a sports version of a hit job

a muslim headscarf. as well as an outpouring of twitter outrage several politicians have called for a boycott of to cast all. sport emancipates it does not submit my choice as a woman and a citizen would be to no longer trust a brand that breaks with our values the french health minister has also waded into the debate to the gods. it's legal but it's a vision of women that i do not share i think it does not fit well with the values of our country. fox is a secular country with a hit job as well as the christian cross have been banished from state classrooms and also from government offices no religious symbols outlawed and in fact they were a common sight on the streets of france but many argue that face and body covering garments such as those worn by loosely women are seen as being
