security experts say facebook is failing to contain online crime claiming so-called flea markets trade stolen identity credit card details and hacking tools all in plain sight. i get out of the one pm here in moscow this eighth of april watching out international life me kevin owen thirty minutes of world news coming up in libya at the top of the headlines in the news again the latest for you there forty six people from both sides of the conflict right now have been killed in fighting and scores wounded in the ongoing battle for the control of the capital tripoli the fight between one side u.n. backed government on another arrival government led by general khalifa haftar escalated sunday with the focus on the airport there the u.n. earlier called for a two hour cease fire to try to. get the casualties and civilians out but none the

less the fighting continued all this violence has been escalating since general haftar launched a multi target attack last thursday with libya's prime ministers accuse the rebel leader of attempting a coup and launch what's been termed a volcano of wrath operation against the militants both sides carried out air strikes must be said it serves place in libya it's being divided of course since two thousand and eleven in the death of leader moammar gadhafi the country's now split between three big chunks basically up in tripoli the government there's a rival government led by general haftar over into broken large swathes over in the east and over in the west and it's all the various militant groups including i still active there and after this big flare up this weekend the international community of course deeply concerned over this recent escalation of where it's going to go including the u.s. they've chipped in very quickly the united states has temporarily withdrawn their forces from the ground saying the situation is simply too dangerous and unpredictable further washington is urging the rebels to immediately halt the

military action against the government saying a political solution is the only way to solve the crisis now that's a mark shift into the white house's position eight years ago. from our graphic has lost legitimacy to lead you must lead. we came we sat there and he died there. in the wild you would get rid of a dictator you would choose freedom. our senior correspondent more goes to picks up the story further this monday lunchtime. the un e.u. backed regime in libya the government of national accord g n a is fighting for its very life all but surrounded now by the army of their rival

government in red here led by general hafta disapprobation is aimed against all groups considered by the international community to be terrorists we have security council resolutions according to which these organizations are classified as terrorist groups where this military escalation game is a complete surprise to us double it began with warmongering rhetoric from hafter which was a throwback to the days of dictatorship and total to rule general hafta and his libyan national army on a roll storming toward the capital tripoli in the desperate g.m.a. have ordered their armies meaning the various islamist and militia groups that supported the counterattack on all fronts they've given this last stand the name the volcano of rage it's chaos worse both sides a pounding each other with airstrikes and the u.n.

is panicking. at the pins. and the heavy heart. be possible it's lovely all from station in and out on tripoli it's entirely possible that things will spiral out of all control the united states for one is already preparing for just that we will continue to monitor conditions on the ground and assess the feasibility for a renewed u.s. military presence i was appropriate it appears they have a plan and they have the aces u.s. military presence is an axe hanging over libya at the drop of a had they can intervene. again trouble is the last time they had a plan it ended in disaster turned libya into a failed state so here we are one nation two governments and countless

fiefdoms gatherings militias and sects a grand battle royale with a prize worth fighting for the winner gets one of the biggest oil reserves in the world all for the store in general holder believes the situation is a direct consequence of nato actions in twenty eleven. tar will probably ignore the calls for a negotiated political settlement and you may expect a bloodbath to unfold in tripoli which is quite tragic and quite unfortunate but i'm afraid to say is the inevitable outcome of the ill advised attack by the north atlantic treaty organization speaking of nato led by the united states as a result of the two thousand and eleven overthrow of mr khadafi in tripoli this is led to libya becoming

a gateway for migration across the mediterranean from africa generally leading to many people dying in the choppy seas of the mediterranean the current regime in libya is not very popular it is dependent on our militias oftentimes act like gangsters looting and plundering their fellow libyans. of these rather we'll tell you in less than twenty four hours israelis are going to head to the polls for a general election the main rivals for the prime minister's office all the incumbent leader benjamin netanyahu and the former chief of staff for the israeli military benny gantz who who leads the right wing likud party supports free market capitalism a liberal agenda and is opposed to palestinian statehood but his rivals from the blue what political alliance what dialogue with the palestinians they also want to limit how long a prime minister stays in the job up to a maximum of three. international relations also proved to be key for israel's

electorate following the caleb maupin explaining how the trump alliance what influence future elections. donald trump and benjamin netanyahu seem to be scratching each other's backs quite a bit lately it's a mutually beneficial relationship in ways that may not be completely obvious whatever political gifts that trump has given to israel lately is not small first move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem for many years we failed to acknowledge the obvious the plain reality that israel's capital is jerusalem then the usa quit the un human rights council citing an alleged anti israeli bias such a council in fact damages the cause of human rights and then of course there is the matter of the chronic bias against israel since its creation the council is about to add more resolutions condemning israel against the rest of the world combined then just before the israeli elections donald trump recognized israel's claim over

the occupied golan heights captured from syria almost five decades ago i will sign a presidential proclamation recognizing israel's sovereign over the golan heights. folks will recall that obama refused to meet with netanyahu prior to elections site . doing it as improper meddling as a matter of longstanding practice in principle would not see has of states or candidates in close proximity to their elections as to avoid the appearance of influence in a democratic election in a foreign country however trump does not share obama's reservations so what is in it for the donald is he just an enthusiastic israel supporter well donald trump has gotten election coming up to and to secure votes in twenty twenty israel is a good way to win support from american jews who are not his biggest fans according

to a number of polls but most especially the christian evangelicals the chicks of this movement encourages jewish people to leave the democrat party total disrespect republicans are waiting with open arms remember jerusalem u.s. embassy and the horrible iran you could do mike pence an evangelical himself seems to pretty well articulate this trend in how american christians feel about the middle east in the story of the jews we've. always seen the story of america my country's very first settlers also saw themselves as pilgrims. sent by providence. to build a new promised land now political criticism of trump and b.b.'s political bromance seems to have been muted however a few voices have chimed in for example bernie sanders president trumps extremely on why is the solution to recognize drew slum as the capital of israel why

recognizing only its importance to israel president trump has severely on the mind the peace process i am very concerned about the policy of the trump administration regarding the two state solution and a few noted intellectuals we see in israeli private investigations for going after the person reputations of people behind the around you there are new array of actors here that the american public didn't know about and this is all going to figure in the next election. israeli intervention in u.s. elections fosli overwhelms anything the russians may have done a common trope among donald trump's critics is to accuse him of being a hateful populist brewing an atmosphere similar to one nine hundred thirty s. germany and it seems that the white house has determined that the best way to counter that narrative is to scream we love israel at the top of their lungs u.s. and israel have always had a special relationship and a very strong relationship probably the strongest relationship of any united states

ally is with israel so the fact that americans see benjamin it and you know as as a important figure and they see the israel relationship or as important that might influence some voters to vote for president trump at the same time israelis view america in the highest esteem and the highest regard and they very much rely on the united states and president trump is very popular so the fact that president trump has visited here the fact that president trump has moved the embassy to jerusalem the fact that president trump has canceled the iranian nuclear agreement the fact that president trump has recognized the golan heights and just the fact that president likes to tweet positive support for israel and for that and you know can be significant in people deciding who they're going to vote for in israel. two chinese students in the u.s. are accused of cheating tech company apple out of hundreds of thousands of dollars

they were reportedly shipping counterfeit i phones to the u.s. and then apparently managing to swap them for original ones under warranty.

common ground. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to be that's. going to be this is what the fuck are you can't be good. i'm interested in the white house. question.

this is about international next how to handle foreign fighters returning home after joining islamic state has stumped the g seven gathering in france the group the world's most advanced countries failed to hammer out a joint position on the issue while the united states is calling on one side on the european countries to take back their citizens some other states including france have a very different view. people who went to the zones in order to fight must be sentenced over there and other issues children and it's true that five children have been brought back to france the orphans are abandoned that will be studying the situation of children on a case by case basis. some stat the e.u. commission claims some five thousand europeans joined eisel between twenty eleven and sixteen the u.k. france germany and belgium are among the most affected countries and so now with us a largely defeated it seems many of those who initially swore loyalty to the caliphate are regretting their actions what is rightly video agency as something

interesting here talk to two former inmates both born in germany they both converted to islam in their teens one god called lucas glass siege on islamic state terrorists in aleppo while martin works in an ice the hospital in iraq is what they had to say. the. comes in from this comes when we first arrived to islamic states everything was very new for us adapting to an arabic country with this houses apartments cars food weather bombings dead people dead children we saw everything during this time it was difficult to get used to it and that time one didn't understand much a month from about the first life in morocco was very normal but during this time i began to see things things the highest did that i wasn't convinced were permitted under islam blowing yourself up so that you can take your enemies with you into death killing civilians who live in france or america that drove.

some mission circut i want to just after approximately three months of working at the police station in iraq i separated from this after this i tried again and again to flee territory but it never worked out for various reasons because our trying to get out of dry ash several times that was why i was twice in a prison many executions took place you just couldn't believe how many were arrested and killed they told us that our wives would be great but we would be killed but we would be beaten we wouldn't get any food will be sold to the iraqi government or to the syrian regime. conservationist or if germany doesn't accept me then i would try to work here and to help in terms of phantom terror organizations my three children were taken to france for me personally it would of course be better if they lived in germany with

my mother i am of course one hundred percent against the islamic state as i said it might be the biggest mistake of my life that we emigrated in finland and get a gun from coming up going to like the mistake that we made absolutely cannot be undone unfortunately we will. be punished for the mistake that we made we deserved to be punished. as facebook continues its crusade against fake news web security research has revealed the social media giant has failed to contain cyber crime on its platform you may be surprised if they claim dozens of so-called cyber criminal flea markets operate openly trading stolen credit card data hacking tools and spam lists don't court has got the story. zuckerberg is certainly trying hard to repair his image after a year of facebook cyber scandals recently the company has once again proudly announced its trashed thousands of pages connected to countries like iran and

russia and all the while other activities often criminal have flown right under facebook's radar take this latest report by cyber security firm cisco tallow it claims to have uncovered seventy four groups in which over three hundred eighty thousand people have been trading stolen bank and credit information the firm calls these groups criminal flea markets not only that but many of them said scam and hacker write in the name the researchers say these groups avoid detection because facebook apparently expects them to police themselves so far facebook has apparently relied on these communities to police themselves as a consequence of this a substantial number of cyber scammers have continued to proliferate and profit from illegal activities so how does such a blatant violations of facebook's policies continue to go undetected well they say they just need to be a bit more vigilant these groups violated our policies against spam and financial

fraud and we removed them we know we need to be more vigilant and we're investing heavily to fight this type of activity vigilance is certainly needed especially when facebook has failed to stop actual abuses of its platform last november a south sudanese girl was. bought through facebook posts for ten thousand dollars several cars and a few hundred couse admins took down the posts when they found out about them but that was after she was already sold so you'd think it's zuckerberg would get the hint that forced marriages might be a problem on his platform but new cases have surfaced as to nigerian girls were sold again with facebook as the medium of transaction so facebook has been having a hard time stopping forced marriages but they sure have done a good job curbing what they call fake news and the news that turns out to be fake mostly happens to challenge mainstream narratives of world events instead of child slavery and online scams it's iran venezuela and of course russian bots the picture

becomes a lot clearer when priorities are understood facebook is facing a perfect storm where it's under pressure from all sides spoke of finally understood that self moderation and self regulation hasn't worked in the form of regulation is required from the industry in that governments need to start to step up to take a role in defining what those regulations are going to be it has a number of human monitors that are seeking to moderate the platform and a lot of its content but they're never going to be able to cope with the sheer volume of content to. not only facebook many of the other social network platforms illegal credit cards are being offered on line child brides all sorts of things there are many other forms of trafficking and. we really don't want to see and therefore they also need to be cracking down on illegal activity some of the. well the same token negative stuff on the web a tip off program we go running today

a man who was once america's most wanted cyber criminal but now to digital security experts call brett jones and he shares with us is insider tips on how to stay secure on the web. and what i try to tell people to do is to make sure you're not the low hanging fruit and the way to do that is first to freeze your credit all right and not just freeze your credit of you but every single person in the house because children are are the number one victims of identity theft you can use a child's information to create entirely new identities so freeze the credit of everyone in the house monitor every single account you've got and what i mean by that is bank accounts e-mail accounts credit cards everything you monitor everything place. on every single account as well that way if a thief does have your information and they try to charge your credit card you get an alert to your phone that says hey something's going on so those are two things the third thing is to use a password manager we as humans we simply do not know how to best pick

a secure password so we tend to use the exact same passwords across multiple websites it's important that we don't do that sounds like cohen's sense but hey think about it insider info you not going to want to miss sophia and the team on air of various times today throughout the day for now that that's a wrap of some of the world news stories making headlines this monday the eighth of april and he's here in half an hour for me kevin and thanks for watching out the international have a great day. breaks it count joan. loose but i think that what's this if. you do this for the first one to do for you mr gibbs can stumble through the pages.

that's eliciting this sort of doom did you. feel you think it was national a rough. the place. to live. but some of those are going to school some some. of. these clinics one of the school is a good thing you believe because there's been. a shooting in the life that this may have. told. the post someone in the beginning a president also wants to tell you the late eighty's. you know world of big. 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 smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. not after a time where we're going underground sixteen years to the day u.s.

renowned economist professor mary on them as a college or university college london and founder of the u.c.l.a. institute for innovation and public purpose a new paperback is the value of everything making and taking in the global economy welcome to the show marianna why apart from st jeremy corbyn is the every little skepticism about the value in the first place in modern society which is the main issue on the front of the book so the word value has become a very fuzzy kind of flaky word that you know anyone can use you can call yourself a wealth create. there lloyd blankfein the c.e.o. of goldman sachs one year after the crisis said that goldman sachs workers were the most productive in the world we as economists use to really debate and contest that word there's different theories of value and actually first we debated value and then that turned into a theory of price today we have basically an approach to the economy which is all about prices supply and demand curves that determines price and that determines what we value so the logic actually got reversed think of it chains shareholder

value shared value and goldman sachs calling goldman sachs workers the most valuable but what does that actually mean and so when we don't actually have a way to distinguish value creation from value extraction it becomes much easier just to throw the word around in fact the reason i wrote the book believe it or not is that in the two thousand and fifteen election when the labor party lost the analysis by labor members themselves by leaders in the labor party the next day was we lost because we didn't embrace the wealth creators the value creators and by that they meant business and i thought to myself how can it be that we've gotten to the point where even the labor party which is about work labor doesn't you know doesn't actually have a narrative a way to talk about values collectively created and they confuse the word wealth creation with business because in the book you talk about lloyd blankfein fully of goldman sachs saying value all productiveness comes from organizations like goldman sachs it's like we're always told the city of london is a little wall street you know it's creates value yeah but what do you know what's

interesting is that up until the one nine hundred seventy s. the financial sector wasn't even included in g.d.p. it was actually seen as just a transfer of the existing value from one place to another kind of like you would include social security payments it's just a transfer and before that in fact the way we would talk about finance was also in terms of rent so the classical economist talked about in terms of unearned income it literally just moving stuff around which of course isn't true of all the finance but anyway there is this kind of skepticism of what a spy. and it's actually doing and so in the one nine hundred seventy s. which is when with deregulation and some other changes the size of the financial sector started to become larger what you had was that the people who were doing the systems of the national accounts s.n.a. inside the united nations started to say i got this thing that's growing larger and larger in the economy isn't even being accounted for so instead of pausing and saying oh dear why is that what is this thing this blog actually doing they just came up with

a justification for including it so investment banking was included an.
