say on the issue. we choose to cover up because it places our body on our terms independent of the male gaze it's necessary for us to have the different options available for different types of when it that's the whole point is that especially in industries like fashion actually take up some fully supported the decision to quit the. sport he checked on the french market in their stores it was only after there was a huge public outcry. that they crawled back so you know basically don't has no scruples could become known as a capitalist company they only want to make profits and they weren't forced they were forced to take. off their shows here in france because of the huge pressure from the public. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is to be indicted on charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust. it could deal

a blow to his chances in april general election where he's seeking a fifth term here's our correspondent tell of the policy clear. well this is certainly the last thing that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu wanted to hear an announcement by the attorney general that he has decided to indict him in three separate corruption charges now the prime minister is facing charges of ford breach of trust and bribery but he is simply not going to go down without a fight we've heard from that on yahoo that the attempts to indict him will fall apart like a house of cards he also said that this is president election interference to topple the government now his likud party has also issued a statement and called this political persecution now the prime minister will be given a chance to appeal the charges that are being filed but that hearing will only take place off to the election that is being held on april the ninth and this is where all eyes are turn to at the moment is what is the decision the announcement by the

attorney general mean for netanyahu chances in the upcoming election in which he's seeking a fourth consecutive term in office the latest poll suggests that his support has dropped already by four to five percent now his supporters say that this is political interference that this is a sad day for democracy of course they would have wrong that the attorney general made that announcement after the elections on april the ninth but his critics certainly say that he now needs to step down he should not be standing in this election he should rather be focusing on his the legal woes and he won't have the time or attention to put to running the country they also say that this shows that israeli democracy works because you can hold the country's most powerful man accountable so certainly a crucial time for netanyahu and also an attempt only when the date by his you could party to stop this announcement being made by the high court was rejected so also a day in which we see a lot of discussion. over what will be the future of both the country's prime

minister and the election result. donald trump disgraced former lawyer michael cohen testified before congress on wednesday and failed to provide any evidence of collusion between the president and russia he didn't get the warmest of welcomes at the hearing with congress members accusing him of being a liar while cohen himself pulled no punches 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's a cheat mr trump and directed the trump mosque on negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it and i have never asked for nor would i accept hard from president. ladies and gentlemen how on earth is this witness credible he's a fake witness its presence here is a travesty and you have a history of lying over and over and over again that 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 his false statements by releasing him refuting his lies to the public with. the charm confidant for more than a decade to. in the spotlight a three year prison sentence in the spring for tax and thankful and as well as lying to congress we discussed his testimony with former u.s. congressman michael patrick. 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 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 could 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 to spar they pulled 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. as no evidence of collusion has been provided by transform our closest ally the u.s. is hoping for another shot a much anticipated report by a special counsel offered to you investigation the results to be released in the

coming weeks the news outlets are already bracing themselves if 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 confidential or to that point the d.o.j. is telling reporters now those reports. will he or won't bob mahler's long anticipated report into trouble the 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 the report and you love to speculate about this because it's certainly high drama all eyes are again focused on robert moment there's at least a possibility of miller wrapping up with al gore and this report is almost certain to be anti-climactic a stark contrast to the media's previous wall to wall coverage of the collusion

extravaganza the walls feel like they are closing in on the truth 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 walls are closing it with trump on the walls are closing the white house. all of the walls are closing in at this point the walls are closing in fast. 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 and the russian hoax is the hopes the which on believe me there is 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 a 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 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 well we're going to have to do our own investigation and we are a short moeller report would mark the end of the beginning not the beginning of the end this saga for the president as legal saga 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 baton why because as they say the show must go on welcome to american politics in twenty nineteen cable mopp and artsy new york we'll be back in a couple of minutes after this break. we

came here where did you work before you came here when you live. in many us states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years waiting for execution but most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor the death penalty there are some people because of what they did they have given up their rights as live among us somebody even proven innocent up to years on death row and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about.

welcome back to the program there were high hopes in hanoi but both own chum and kim jong un have come away empty handed from the 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 future to come for the failure to cut a deal that came as a surprise to many off the optimism shared by both leaders before the talks. the first summit was a great success and i think this one hopefully will be equal or greater than the

first where he could have heard that in the paper that it was. here emerging. gilfillan in this. might be the best answer. always have to be prepared to walk i could've signed an agreement today and then you people would have said oh 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 decided but it just wasn't appropriate i want to do it right i'd much rather do it right and do it fast. the north korean foreign ministry a sensation a statement claiming they did not all fall all sanctions to be lifted just most of them they also said washington that mr rath chants reiterating that their position

on their isolation will not change our report and how it sums up what became a 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 kim jong un the leader of north korea actually wanted the sanctions on pyongyang lifted. what we proposed was not the removal of all sanctions but the partial removal this proposal is the biggest denuclearization measure you 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 knew 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 of 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 in has he also repeatedly kept on 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 and 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 on their reactions and how what they have to see the outcome of this deal because if anyone has to lose it's pretty much them to. want to america's scotty now hughes who. chimed 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 nuclearization of the north korea 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. by a secret project has exposed what it claims is a series of tools used by facebook to talk politically conservative pages and strength that can come without warning they include. the hate speech limiting live streams and suppressing the reach of produce a process known as boosting 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 in accounts and that is why i came forward i would see it appear on several different conservative pages. the wall to exactly did the full

facebook employee find. out from correspondent. what has been revealed all this whistleblower is alleging to have uncovered four she described as methods of suppression being used by facebook tolls that would d. 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 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 it's 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 content 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 to clamp down though didn't they after the twenty sixth election so it's conflicting kind of comments from mark zuckerberg 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 we know while it wouldn't be surprising this is 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 tweets. exactly so users weren't seeing what these or 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 into. there's so many of us use pretty much on a daily basis could have political leaning or not has twenty

a simple occasionally used to be twenty years ago he would have been that important because it didn't have so much import in the lives of young people there are millions of people becoming voters sixteen eighteen year olds put a lot into social media so this is why it's becoming a huge issue we're not going to hear the end of this for some time indeed the power . especially in the u.s. have seen rival resolutions on the venezuelan crisis voted down in the u.n. security council and we're going to bring in dave lindorff the founding editor of this can't be happening dot net dave there's a coming on to the program now we've we've seen two resolutions proposed resolutions under this while a failed can anything be achieved do you think through this session of the u.n. security council. no i think it's it's a hopeless thing because there's still sides here very clearly one that wants to adhere to the u.n. charter which has

a priority on savard national sovereignty and the other which wants to ignore those rules and play by a sort of power rules which is what the u.s. is doing with its resolution saying that the u.s. and its allies can and dish to dictate to venezuela that it has a different governor a different president than it actually elected i mean the the russian envoy i think that the u.s. is using the u.n. to prepare for military intervention not to monetary and do you think those concerns a justified because you know you're absolutely right dave that the one simple thing that there are ones supporting quite though so you know all those concerns justified is that what's going to happen well i think the best the best account of what's going on was made by the south african representative who spoke against

the u.s. measure and said why him and he was saying quite appropriately that this was not a. a resolution that was really being put in to solve the problem it was put in violation of several important principles for the u.n. and whether or not this is a prelude to try to give the u.s. rejects to go in militarily i'm not sure that's what the u.s. will do. but it might be something where the u.s. would allow and not oppose some other country going in you know like we have a new right wing president of brazil who has talked about sending troops. you know it's possible that the u.s. would allow. other actors. back up to do the dirty work but you know if we if you if we discuss how the u.n.

mechanism is working there hasn't worked today has it because obviously both proposals have been voted down what mechanism is that an alternative mechanism that should be used instead of the un. well the u.s. would like to use its you know oas but i think they would have a hard time even getting that to happen and that's that's not a you know a recognized international body in the way that the u.n. is. the u.s. says the attitude that in latin america latin america is basically what the worst of the lock was for the old soviet union you know basically puppet states that. voted the way that russia was united started the senate union wanted them to and and that's what the latin american states primarily are they're

under enormous economic stress from the u.s. in an age when they don't follow lockstep with what the u.s. wants it takes a lot of courage for governments in latin america to stand against the u.s. which is what a few of them of done mexico is the stronger country and is staying neutral on this some other countries sin i think in a few other seller libya for sure are standing against the u.s. and to cuba of course. so. it's not a slam dunk for the u.s. but that's what they want and they they they have this thing called them that monroe doctrine which is really just a us attitude that we can do whatever we wanted latin america but i don't think that the u.s. is going to use military intervention that because i think that would be very very unpopular in the u.s. ok we'll leave it that they lyndal thank you very much for coming on the program

founding editor of this can't think how little thought wrong frankel thank you for having me. i'll be back in about three minutes time with more updates. all. my dough for sixteen metal. just. for my isis fighters and boarding a philippine naval ship. but not fall at me ned. just aren't

abdulla still don't know what's waiting for them. because it will. be neat if i tell you not to. cooperate get out of here man i'm nobody. the. country's gone into a nihilistic fever. hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the charlatans the genius is the quintessential american hero this is it we've come a point on which elements got inserted we always are on the margins something. called gun culture is really important because. we're starting last with is movie going to headed east into the swamp we're going into

the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now doesn't do any more gonzo in a minute we may be completely different animals just. my son doing drugs my nephew was still in drugs my sister just with doing drugs it was like an epidemic of drug abuse america's public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse we started going after the users in the prison population. we started treating sick people people who are addicted to these drugs like criminals while i was on the hill. in the war on drugs in the state there are countless numbers of people who are in prison for inconceivable. for minor minor offenders in the drug trade it's a lot watching your children grow up and miss you in waves and say bye daddy as

you're walking out of this is just it doesn't get easier. both russian and u.s. resolutions on venezuela fail in the u.n. security council with the two nations each other's proposals for the deepening of the stalemate of latin american countries. the second trouble came a summit ends up properly with no deal in a stall over sanctions north korea says washington mr right chance to make progress of a denuclearizing the korean peninsula. and facebook is accused of censoring conservative voices as a whistleblower reveals how the social network suppresses content and limits

exposure. in the courts and.
