a sports version of the he job. even before it's. one minute past seven am in caracas ten pm and two in the afternoon right here in moscow this thursday the last day of february welcome to r.t. international our top story. on kim jong ended their second summit earlier than expected with no deal reached according to president trump disagreements over how far north korea has to go to get sanctions lifted was the reason a bunch of us is in hanoi for r.t. . but talks were cut short because no agreement was made the two were actually supposed to have lunch and have a signing ceremony which never happened because of the agreement was was was made

now 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 on appeal and getting an tiredly lifted until there was about a sanctions will there be a third summit was basically they wanted these sanctions lifted in their entirety and we couldn't do that. they were willing to do new go large 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 the science 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 you didn't agree with now that in the side on what's going to happen on the korean peninsula whether they're going to dismantle all 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 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. ok let's go live now to beijing and we're told by victor gao director of the china national association of international studies for his take on summit number two victor good to have your company how would you describe this summit is you know to par a phrase what we've been talking about in bragg's it all this time is no deal better than a bad deal here. i think the whole world was really very

much holding its breath for the expected news coming out of the summit meeting and eventually there is a huge let down i think that this appointment is a real while now i think the two sides are not on the same page as to what exactly is denuclearization and how to proceed to the final result and i think the two sides really need to reconsider the situation and come up with reality and pragmatism to resume their discussions finally only real denuclearization would count nothing else nothing short of that will count it did seem victor that both sides were coming out for from very opposite ends is that though part of what we've come. to north trumps negotiating tactic here

gamesmanship if you will or did they simply miscalculate north korea's willingness to negotiate and that summit three might not be a given it may not actually happen. president omar trump seems to be very eager to play seoul or try to become a real soul or hero on the global stage and he wants to monopolize all the credit for himself so let's give him some more chance let him try again for example or another summit or two and hopefully reality will dawn on him that this is not so-called the art of negotiation this is not a personality issue this is real hard core jewel politics and between the united states and d p r k it's almost impossible to get to the bottom of this very very tough and very important situation is a word to use that leverage. between the u.s.

and north. korea where are we. of course meetings are better than no meetings and failure to reach an agreement as you said is better then having a bad agreement for example however i would say president trump is still not fully acknowledging the fact that the united states is not able to deliver denuclearization following this round of negotiations they probably need to rethink and revisit this issue and try to find a better way and i would say in this situation countries like china and russia are very crucially important no one should be left behind china has been very much involved in the singapore summit as well as this summit by providing all the ground logistics support for example however i would say china is not eager to claim any credit let president trying his best to take some credit and eventually i think

only denuclearize asia will count that's what we expect to achieve one way or another on the korean peninsula we always appreciate your time and your thoughts victor gallo director of the china national association of international studies thank you. ok moving on to another big story and a developing one transparency group project veritas exposed what it claims is a series of tools used by facebook to target conservative pages and restrict their content without warning be include classing posters hate speech limiting live streams and suppressing the reach of those posts here is what the whistleblower that expose their case to say. i.e. handled copyright and trademark claims. and in the course of doing my duties i noticed other things that were going on accounts and that is why i came forward i

would see it appear on several different conservative pages here very definite language as to what she thinks has happened i'm joined now by. our nikki what has been revealed all this whistleblower is alleging to have uncovered or she described as methods of suppression being used by facebook tolls that would de boost the traffic of accounts considered to be a conservative leaning meaning that their followers wouldn't receive notifications whenever these pages these accounts dates their profiles in some cases content was allegedly removed without even letting the users know now this insider who formerly worked in the intellectual property department of facebook has stumbled across these goings on she said when she noticed some unusual goings on with some accounts . first i was wondering whether this is something that. i had you know 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 that column capper next page none of them had received the same boost but you know she's not the only one that's coming out with similar allegations there's another facebook employee who is exposed how such tools are being applied to certain accounts that facebook deems to be offensive or contain hate speech conservative side of things the. point is that there's a lot of stuff being said on the left that is not involved in these posts essentially what you see it's all one sided exactly and facebook is targeting certain posts that doesn't particularly like with terms such as offensive in haste these terms of being used broadly. things that aren't 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 now if these allegations are proven to be accurate it would be another blow for their facebook name especially seeing how it contradicts what the c.e.o. mark zuckerberg told congress when he said he didn't want his company acting on the political ideology of content we have reached out to facebook for a comment on these alleged d. boosting tools they haven't got back to us so far he also said they're going to didn't the after the twenty sixth election so it's conflicting kind of comments from mark zuckerberg it seems his point would be though how do we know these claims are actually credible when they're going out into the press that is a whistleblower or how do we know she's telling the truth what we do know that she definitely did work for facebook because although fair of facebook didn't get back to as they did respond to another media outlet who they told. must have been a disgruntled former employee so we know she definitely worked for them and they

say that she was fired when they found out she was working with project but what she brought out is has been verified that this is happening on the conservative side of things but what we know well it wouldn't be surprising because it's not the first time a social media giant has been outed by project veritas as well last year we had the allegations with twitter when project veritas released undercover first to twitter employees staff a parent to admit to silencing conservatives they were saying how they used algorithms to bury particular people are losing their followers of them worth is exactly so users we're seeing these are particular people were posting because they were being buried by these algorithms twitter at the time denied any complicity in the actions of its stuff but the most worrying thing here is that it exposes this.

impression that these social media giants like facebook and twitter that so many of us use pretty much on a daily basis could have political leaning or not has twentieth implication the years twenty years ago he would have been that important because it didn't have so much import in the lives of young people there's millions of people becoming voters sixteen eighteen year olds and they put a lot into social media so this is why it's becoming a huge issue isn't it we're not going to hear the end of this for some time indeed the power of social media yet nicky aaron thank you very much for bringing us right up to date on that very interesting indeed we watch this space. now in the example of how facebook is clumping don it's no british islamic activist tony robinson from the platform on instagram to. win ideas and opinions crossed the line and amount to hate speech that may create an environment of intimidation and exclusion for certain groups and 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 that violate our policies around organized hate when robinson spawn fired up the online community many are concerned that the move is a politically motivated step to censor free speech others praise the bomb as a measure to target hate speech it comes after social media company stepped up efforts to block content as we've just been speaking about with nikki there was offensive but as our guests argued earlier there's a fine line between free speech and online censorship. but you joined 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 the line in terms of their community guidance facebook twitter and social media 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 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 good 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 facebook reasons for banning him they're drawn in very vague and undertake your language which i think should make any defender of free speech very uncomfortable. thursday afternoon fifteen minutes past two pm more news when we return. you know world a big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we

need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufactured to send to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round be the one percent. nor middle of the room.

hello again donald trump this graced former lawyer michael cohen testified before congress on wednesday and failed to provide any evidence of trump russia collusion he also didn't get the warmest of welcomes at the hearing with congressman accusing him of being a liar while cohen himself pulled no punches either when speaking about his old 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. ladies and gentlemen how on earth is this witness credible he's a fake witness the presence here is a travesty and you have

a history of lying over and over and over again he said we were in charge of the truth i don't believe that michael coleman is capable of telling the truth he lied to congress through false statements and written statements he lied to congress through his testimony even amplified his false statements by releasing him refuting his lies to the public. well cohen was confident for more than a decade after his moment in the spotlight he will begin a three year prison sentence in the spring for tax on bank fraud as well as lying to congress we discussed his testimony with former us republican congressman michael patrick flooding in. as we call it in the united states when election season comes here 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 with

a 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 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. well as no evidence of collusion has been provided by trump's former closest ally we should remember the us media's hoping for another shot a much anticipated report by special counsel robert mueller after

a two year long investigation the results are due to be released in the coming weeks and the media is already bracing itself in case no collusion is revealed. robert muller's work is nearly done justice department is preparing to announce its early as next week that attorney general bill maher has received miller's financial order that's not going to the d.o.j. is telling reporters now those reports. will he or won't he bob mahler's long anticipated report into trump's alleged collusion with russia is expected to be released later this week or maybe not media is covering every leak into the possible timing at this point even though we don't have the information the media. and certain outlets seem to be doing damage control this is all building up to them all the reports and love to speculate about this because it's certainly high drama all minds are again focused on robert moment there's at least a possibility of millar wrapping up without more indictments this report is almost

certain to be anti climatic a stark contrast to the media's previous wall to wall coverage of the collusion extravaganza the walls feel like they're closing in on the trump administration right now and i'm not sure that they can hold them off for much longer the walls are closing in and everyone is freaking out the walls are closing the wheels are coming off. the walls are closing in on president trump the walls are closing it with trump on the walls are closing in on the trump white house. all of the walls are closing in at this point the walls are closing in fast and. the collusion investigation is stretched out almost two years now and it's cost the taxpayers apparently twenty five million dollars and from the beginning donald trump has been adamant that there is nothing to find the politics of revenge resistance and retribution the entire thing is being a witch hunt the rush of hoaxes the hopes the whiche on believe me there's no

collusion dozens of people have been indicted on multiple charges but so far none of them have been related to any alleged collusion with russia you've got individuals like paul man of fort roger stone and michael flynn who been indicted for among other things making false statements to the investigators they have uncovered anything related to the crime that bob miller was originally investigating however the investigation itself has led to new crimes being committed so despite the fact that not much has really been discovered over the course of the last two years there are some who are expecting that the final report will contain smoking gun revelations that will topple the administration or maybe not the investigation when completed could turn out to be quiet and it comerica not draw a conclusion about that again i don't move. so the final report will draw a line in the sand and everyone can just move on can't they if he finds that there was no direct collusion between the trump campaign and russia where we're going to have to do our own investigation then we are a short moeller report would mark the end of the beginning not the beginning of the

end this saga for the president it's legal saga and it doesn't appear to be anywhere close to being over as the president hopes so we've got a rather costly report that has not yet been released the conclusions of which we have not yet seen but yet the media is already making excuses for it and we're hearing that congress may pick up the investigative but htat why because as they say their show must go on welcome to american politics in twenty nineteen cable mopp and artsy new york. to know the story generating a lot of discussion sporting goods retailer dickau flown struct plans to sell a sports version of the he job in fronts the company says it hopes to build on the success of previously had in morocco charlotte dubinsky explains why the idea sparked controversy before even reaching the shelves. 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
