the second. brought and with no deal in a stall over sanctions washington missed the red chance to make progress denuclearizing the korean peninsula. facebook is accused of censoring conservative voices as a whistleblower reveals how the social network suppresses content and limits exposure. in the course of doing my duty i noticed other things that were going on accounts i would see it appear in several different conservative pages. and friend sporting goods retailer to catholics forced to drop. in france off to start with violent threats we get reaction in paris. she was too worried you know it's your

charge it's. me and if they have to cancel the sales it's not an act of secularism and that i will not go so far as to say. that it's very and. it's eleven o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all t international live from our studio with me. welcome to the program. there were high hopes in hanoi but both donald trump and kim jong un have come away empty handed from their much anticipated second summit the talks ended earlier than expected with the u.s. president blaming north korea's demands over lifting sanctions for the failure to cut a deal that came as a surprise to many after the optimism shown by both leaders before the talks.

so the first summit was a great success some of the just one hopefully will be equal or greater than the first for a few critics or is it. safe to say. you'll still be. in this. well i'm going to be the best they. always have to be prepared to walk i could have signed an agreement today and then you people would have said all of what a terrible deal what

a terrible thing to do you know you have to be prepared to walk we actually had papers ready to be side but it just wasn't appropriate i want to do it right i'd much rather do it right than do it fast. you know with korean foreign ministry has since issued a statement claiming they didn't know. to be lifted just most of them they also said washington had missed a rock chance meets writing that their position on t.v. need to arise ation will not change our reporter in hanoi sums up what became a fleeting second day of the summit. 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 the reason behind that was because the leader of north korea actually wanted the sanctions on pyongyang lifted. what we proposed was not the removal of all sanctions but their partial removal this

proposal is the biggest equalization measure we can take at the present stage in relation to the current level of confidence between the d.p. r. k. and the united states our principles remain invariable and our proposal will never be changed even though the united states proposed for the negotiations in the future 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 sanctions and cannot give just whatever the 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 guess you also repeatedly repeatedly saying

that the deal was made because of the u.n. sanctions that he 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 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 open when that when that 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 want america's. trump should have known what was coming. these are demands that are not the first time being presented to the united states this is exactly what i think if anybody would have thought that kim jong un would ask the united states after over fifty years of sanctions being put on north korea and it crippling the infrastructure of

north korea right now so this is not this is not unexplainable or to think that this is what north korea would want i think what we have to look at what happened in the twenty four hour period following the dinner last night in the talks today you know yes president trump does say that you need to walk away and yes he did want a ration of at the north korean points but just prior to going in he put out a very optimistic tweet that i don't think is getting enough focus he talked about that he needed to help china south korea japan and russia in order to make north korea successful financially and i think you can also say that would be for security purposes as well i think president trump realized in order to accomplish a true honest north korea did nuclearization he was going to have to have the help of those that surrounded the country. was founded the group project task has exposed what it claims is a series of tools used by facebook to target politically conservative pages and restrict that content without warning they include class as hate speech limiting

live streams and suppressing the reach of a process known as. his the whistleblower behind the claims. 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 but what exactly did the former facebook employees find. from correspondent nicky gavron. what has been revealed here well this whistleblower is alleging to have uncovered four 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 would 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 departments of facebook has stumbled across these goings on she said when she noticed them 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 post it doesn't particularly like with terms such as offensive in haste these terms of being used broadly 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 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 contents we have reached out to facebook for a comment on these alleged boosting tools they haven't got back to us so far you also said they're going. after the twenty sixteen 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 whistle blower or how do we know she's telling the truth what we do know that she definitely did work for facebook because although facebook didn't get back to us 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 veritas what you 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 ousted by project veritas as well last year we had the allegations with twitter when project veritas released undercover first to twitter employees staff apparent to admit to silencing conservatives they were saying how they used the algorithms to bury particular tweet. of them were

exactly users weren't seeing what these a 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 it's. 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 taught me a simple occasionally use free speech when a year ago he wouldn't 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 and it's we're not going to hear the end of this for some time indeed the power of social media one example of how facebook is clamping down is that it's banned british anti islamic activists tell me about concern from the platform and instagram to 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 these 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 robinson's band fired up his supporters online complaining the move is a politically motivated step to censor free speech others praised the ban for targeting hate speech social media companies have been stepping up efforts to block content that's deemed offensive but there's wide disagreement over at what point to online policing become censorship. it's very clear that if used to join the social media giant company pages and you set up your own page then you have to abide by their rules and regulations and one you don't peddle hate want to you don't tarnish

you know. legitimize the. you know the racism and xenophobia towards just muslims are just not an acceptable. the fact that you were called out for your hatred should be welcome this is censorship on one world is the new public sphere and it's wrong but major corporations like facebook like instagram have the power to remove opinions from public consideration and then drawing attention to what he seems to be the radicalization of britain and i don't agree with his position. or to break into that report there but we're going to cross live now to new york where the u.n. security council is discussing rival resolutions from russia and the u.s. on the venezuelan crisis and talking now is the russian envoy to the u.n. this time in history when the security council would dismiss one and would appoint

another president of a sovereign country is this where all of the launches into action i'm not even speaking of i'm a little component here this is not even a matter of my door and. you truly fail to understand that this is legally untenable and naaman for is this is in leave failed trolling is it a mockery of members of the saudi council those who plan to support the u.s. draft or do you understand that you will become complicit in a legal theater of the absurd. the u.s. delegation can not to but note that their resolution has no chance of being adopted you know in the last they are deliberately tabling into the council to the point of being here at all those who allegedly are destructing the establishment of democracy and as well as you are now deliberately undermining the unity of a council but do you need this you know treatment in our us colleagues i'm currently have forgotten what international law. you only have made

sanctions and threats of use of force left in your diplomatic tool marks of course we have noted. this has all been initiated solely to and he was a non consenting state of obstructing the delivery of assistance to the venezuelan people however this isn't yet another example of shameless propaganda going on twenty six february we spoke at length and in detail the fact that russia and china really without any problems delivered humanitarian assistance or to the venezuelan people only the us didn't manage to do this. but disregarded the sovereignty and inviolability of the borders of a sovereign state i see mentioned this the day before yesterday and what he did today if the united states were genuinely keen to help the people of venezuela then they would operate through official channels through any of the un accredited agencies in that country but that's not their goal this is not a smokescreen their goal is regime change this is probably the most would go larry the most egregious the most. insistence of implementation of the notorious concept

of humanitarian intervention intervention humanitarian component and with humanitarian pretends to overthrow such a rules based order instead of international law as was being proposed to us and this is consistently being talked about by wasn't while it's great this very reason we drafted an alternative draft resolution for the name of which is not to stimulate demand not to incite political intrigues and regime change but rather to genuinely help the venezuelan people in their efforts normalize the situation the country we stress that any international assistance needs to be delivered on the basic principles of humanity neutrality impartiality and independence and the consent of a country's legitimate government furthermore in our document to extend its support for international mediation initiatives including the most montevideo mechanism which would help the venezuelan people to achieve what is most important now namely

political settlement to the u.s. just simply has nothing of the sort because it is not geared towards resolved. the problem is yes that we can do and being expert level consultations on our taxes we listened to the fears of members of city council including the u.s. representative who we heard not a single specific comment on our draft weston's an expert said that they would not work on our taxes and us colleagues immediately table their draft for the vote where is diplomacy here where is the quest for compromise this is all in combination of published city largely dictated by the massive political concerns and agendas we regret the fact that the security council is once again big dragged into this studio as opposed to we are seriously concerned the fact that today's meeting may be exploited as a step for preparations of a real not humanitarian intervention as a pretext for external intervention for that as a result of the alleged inability of the security council to resolve the situation

as well though we wish once again to turn to oppose members of the security council who genuinely wish to lend assistance and not to become complicit in this political show we call for all to vote against the us to support our document was jasmyn specifically drafted to avoid wording that creates a dissent and is genuinely geared towards helping internet and venezuelan people for advancement of international assistance and international mediation thank you both yes and. i thank the representative of the russian federation just. in the middle right of. the day when you first proceed to submit to the vote the draft resolution contained in document and stroke twenty nine thousand strong one eight six submitted by the united states of america.

and over the. for those in favor of the draft resolution contained in document as stroke twenty nineteen stroke one eight six. please raise their hand. against. abstention abstentions.

this is. the result of the voting is as follows. five votes in favor votes in favor nine. votes against three. abstentions. three. that is in the draft resolution has not been adopted maybe the one that was owing to the negative vote off a permanent member of the council. you. know i think it is not being it has not been approved and as i stated.

that out and i know if the floor two members of the council who wish to make statements following the votes. i get through to the representative of the united states. thank you mr president. the situation in venezuela demands our action now the corrupt former majority him has caused an economic collapse that threatens peace and security throughout the region millions of venezuelans have fled their country in search of food medicine and opportunity the time for a peaceful transition to democracy now. each member of the international community that joins in recognizing the government is supporting the people of venezuela as they strive to claim their democracy mr president regrettably by voting against this resolution some members of this council continue to shield woodrow and his

cronies and prolong the suffering of the venezuelan people this manmade crisis has extended well beyond venezuela's borders and threatens to destabilize the region events from this past weekend show that majority will stop at nothing to maintain power including the use of gang violence against unarmed venezuelan citizens mr president regardless of the results of today's vote this resolution shows that democracies around the world and especially in latin america are mobilizing behind interim president why go the united states will remain steadfast in our support for the legitimate why dog government and the national assembly we look forward to genuinely free and fair elections and to a government that reflects the will and aspirations of the venezuelan people. the

united states will pursue all avenues to increase humanitarian assistance to venezuelans both inside and outside their country there was in fact an additional aid delivery today to the border region who could talk. emergency medical kits for forty thousand people high nutrition food for enough for ten thousand infants for two months hygiene kits for thirty five thousand people. i would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our concern about the safety and security of interim president won by doe when he returns to venezuela and we hope that all members of the council will join us in doing so now is the time to strengthen our commitment to the venezuelan people we call on members of the security council to join in this commitment. and i would like to express satisfaction that a clear majority of the council did today thank you.

i thank the representative of the united states i now get the floor to the representative of through this to president. through voted in favor of the resolution on venezuela in order to enable the security council exercise of the mandate given to it under the charter of the organization adopt it is ok that you were just watching the. u.n. security council discussing rivals and resolutions in new york there and we heard from the russian envoy who said. that their proposal was about humanity a new trial of the consent of the country's legitimate government that was the message behind that one the vote was not adopted there were three against abstentions three and nine in favor and amongst those against it will russia and china the u.s. envoy didn't respond and said the u.s. will remain steadfast in their support. and increase humanitarian assistance inside

and outside the country. in other news now any hopes in britain of relying on boning leaving the e.u. have had a hurdle across the english channel the french president is vowing to block britain delaying its departure unless there's a clear objective based on a new choice bags of daters just a few weeks away on march the twenty ninth. you know to do the deal needs for the withdrawal agreement cannot be renegotiated if the british need more time will be able to examine an extension request if that is justified by new choices from the british but we cannot in any case accept an extension without a clear perspective from the pursued objective is our negotiator michel barnier said we don't need time above all we need decisions the time has come for the british to make choices and to offer us what we owe each other as partners friends and allies namely a clear vision a joint project for the future. for britain to extend the withdrawal process known

as article fifty e.u. members must unanimously agree to it and the french president is not the only one whose patience is wearing thin this polish prime minister echoed emanuel micron's saying that prolonging uncertainty by postponing deadlines is neither reasonable nor desirable alternative the german chancellor was more conciliatory saying the e.u. won't say no if britain needed more time. despite more than two years to get a plan in place for britain's future relationship with the e.u. there is still nothing in place promised the tourism is struggling to get past m.p.'s having lost a series of and if it fails again on march the twelfth he'll give m.p.'s the chance to decide on whether to crash out of the e.u. with no deal or seek to delay the leaving date brussels based journalist luke talked to me about what micron wants from britain. well based on choice he says you know europeans for once are in agreement on this and they are right in

a way we should values that you know we don't need time with the decisions so the brits should decide they have the suited for two years they have a deal it is a bit wishy washy the remain in britain don't like it the brits don't like it so mrs may tries to sell it to our parliament in westminster already for some time and she can't and she comes back to brussels to renegotiate but the european say no thank you you have a real reason for renegotiating or for asking three more months no reason so march twenty ninth should be the right date and if they leave without a deal they don't need to pay the forty five billion euro that europe asks them to pay so it would not be such a bad deal to go. major friend sporting goods retailer has dropped plans to sell a sports version of the hit job in france to catherine said it had hoped to build on the successful fails the government to be generated in morocco. 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 retailer decathlon to stop 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 the cast of. 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. 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 there 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 a method to subjugate them but others including castle say such items make it easier for muslim women to take part in activities such as sports. we men should be able to wear whatever they like forbidden the seal disclosed is just ridiculous first to make shocked me and that they have to cancel the sales it's not an act of secularism i will not go so far as to say islamophobia but it's very anti slavic. people should dress according to their own tastes i don't think there's much controversy about this issue. if women choose to merit

a masters practiced so if she wants to wear it you know it's her choice but the backlash has been so big that even to castle star see they have been threatening. our customer service team has received over five hundred calls and e-mails since this morning our teams in our stores have been insulted and threatened sometimes physically before. the product even got out of the starting blocks the force of the opposition sort to get an old back down it would no longer sell a sports he job here but it's a no win situation for the retailer which is also being criticized for pandering to collectively styria that reveals the level of islamophobia here in france that you can ski on t. harris right or an online activists to money.
