watching your children grow up and issue and wave and say bye daddy as you're walking out of the abyss it's just it doesn't get easier. social media giants are getting ready for the 2020 u.s. elections with facebook creating a special groups to monitor speech and buying to ban content that tries to put people off voting. and it's a no to the for joy and to the e.u. as breakfast party i mean it's not the blocks and them at the opening of the new european parliament as member state leaders wrangle over who gets the union top job . also this hour the british home office sparks anger after suggesting that trafficked women from nigeria can lead wealthy lives back in africa after working as prostitutes in the u.k. .

a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our to h.q. in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. social media platforms are already preparing for the 2020 u.s. presidential election with facebook announcing a pilot program to monitor hate speech and says it will ban advertisements that discourage people from voting but there are concerns about the company controlling just what people can see as art is killed often explains. yes the world is a scary place lots of different views and opinions out there but don't worry silicon valley is going to keep our mind safe from being contaminated by bad ideas they know what's best for you and me facebook has come out with its 1st major announcement of 2019 and as part of its ongoing civil rights audit it's going to have a team of hate speech reviewers civil rights groups have been concerned about us

mistakenly taking down content meant to draw attention to and fight discrimination rather than promoted we're taking steps to address this including the u.s. pilot program where some of the people who review content on facebook only focus on hate speech instead of a range of content the can include bullying nudity and misrepresentation and it's not just those hateful nasty comments they're going to protect us from in addition as we have the 2020 us presidential election and the upcoming federal us census approaching they will protect us from inappropriate comments about them so you think the vote is rigged against say bernie sanders like it wasn't 2016 well facebook says you best keep that analysis to yourself to protect elections we have a team across product engineering data science policy legal and operations dedicated full time to these efforts they're already working to burn ads that discourage people from voting and we expect

a phone line as the new policy and its enforcement before the 20000000 teen gubernatorial elections and it's not just facebook that's concerned about what we might choose to read other high tech overlords are in on it too even donald trump has noticed he says that's an attempt to insert bias and hurt him in the upcoming election twitter is is just terrible what they do you saw what happened yesterday with google google is totally biased to trying to rig the election that's what we should be looking at now which and the phony which and which is proven to you oh and trump does have a point if you. look at twitter's new rules they say that they will now be hiding tweets from world leaders and politicians that have been left online despite violating the rules due to the public interest now these tweets will only be available in rare cases there are certain cases where it may be in the public's interest to have access to certain tweets even if they would otherwise be in violation of our rules on the rare occasions when this happens we'll place

a notice a screen you have to click or tap through before you see the tweet to provide additional context and clarity we'll also take steps to make sure the tweet is not algorithmically elevated on our service now of course twitter did not mention any particular president but mainstream us media has read between the lines and they are overjoyed. to see lays the groundwork to finally some for trump but will executives that ever pull the trigger on twitter won't sense the trumps rude breaking tweets but who will make them harder to find is this the fix to one of twitter's most delicate problems trump's tweets have gotten so bad that twitter to my stunt giving the morning labels so in the lead up to a us presidential election we've got gigantic tech monopolies basically announcing that they will be deciding for us what we are and are not allowed to hear and read and why well they've got to protect us from election meddling after all and make

sure we choose to vote in the right way caleb mopp and r.t. new york. a crowdfunding campaign has been launched for a conservative journalist after he was assaulted at a far left rally in portland and quickly raised over $160000.00 in donations more than 3 times the initial goal then it was staged to counter a far right march taking place in portland organized by the group boys who are known for promoting violence the opposing groups did eventually meet resulting in multiple clashes and arrests artie's interest on a look at how the. gloves are off when it's the far left versus the far right. this is what you can get if you don't have a ticket to ride the leftists train for this conservative journalist it went from threats to violence pretty quickly it seems the attack on him had been planned for them he wasn't a journalist he wasn't an equal diffuse into an islam a phobe

a white supremacist fascist because before trying to cover their rally no had covered one from the other side of the political spectrum and in goes the far right activist and blogger who writes bogus sketch pieces to incite hatred against muslims he is not a journalist and the capacity whatever your opinion on the far right activist getting punched in the face please describe his actual profession correctly until you 1st jigsaw puzzle is complete and if you are a piece that doesn't fit you're just not welcome. i believe. we believe survivors there are chanting that was senator ted cruz and his wife heidi being forced out of a washington restaurant by left wing activists in america in the u.k. and the rest of europe it's

a discourse in which fists and kicks speak louder than words any opponent is painted evil regardless of whether or not they have any history of engaging in far right violence and if the left can deal with you physically they will discriminate against you as happened to white house press secretary sarah sanders last year when she was refused service at a restaurant they will publicly ostracize you like when eric trump was harassed when eating out the left will even track you down and come knocking on your door. ah. the left is on a search and destroy mission and progressive outlets will give plenty of outrage to announce the new rules when the goal justifies all means so when the day

comes that the world feels return to its normal axis i expect we'll see fewer highly charged encounters making headlines in the mean time the new rules apply if you are directly complicit in spreading hate or pitcher waiting suffering maybe you should consider dining at home now showing a satire piece or nigel for raj where the braggs a tear gets a head shot from the sniper is fine well it's a joke after all except imagine a conservative channel joking around killing a leftwing i can for instance but as an undisputable force of good you don't waste your time talking with the enemy but trump said that there are bad people on both sides and he was heavily criticized but i think he was absolutely right the last they cry foul when there is any source or negative techniques used against them when they use the same techniques and actually go further and employ

firelands to mitigation and harassment on a mass scale a lot of cases using social media. so that they believe that there is just if you call everyone a nazi then no one is a nazi or no one is or isn't is a genuinely legacy's force that she makes it more likely sources like fascists to rise and challenge the left isn't forcing a new order and by the new rules the gloves are off when dealing with dissidents. baxter i'm a peace have shown their disdain for the new at the opening of the new european parliament by turning their backs during the playing of the box and them beethoven's ode to joy.

for more on the shenanigans in the e.u. parliament and on the deadlock that leaders of member states currently find themselves and trying to fill the as top jobs we are joined by artist peter all over peter quite a tribute there from britain's party. yes plenty going on in stroudsburg in the parliament also plenty going on with the european council over in brussels will start at the parliament though where there's been fireworks inside and out outside of the parliament there is a demonstration taking place at the fact that catalan independence leader kallis put them on wasn't allowed to take up his seat as an m.e.p. in the chamber well inside well we saw that demonstration from the brakes party led by nigel for their 29 m. e p's facing away turning their backs on ode to joy the official anthem of the european union we also saw a demonstration by pro e.u.

british any pieces well those from the liberal democratic party they turned up wearing t. shirts that said no to break that on the back of parchment didn't used those words exactly used words i would get in trouble for if i use them here on at what we are seeing is a situation though in europe where these m.e.p. many of whom are starting for the 1st time that they're expecting to be able to vote on who's going to get the the big jobs in europe the commission president the council president the parliamentary president high representative for foreign affairs the only thing is is the european council who are currently meeting over in brussels they haven't decided who's going to be up for voting for in the parliament just yet what we understand is the the the list that's been put forward that's been broached at the moment could see as commission president on the line put forward the current german defense minister for council president charles mikhail who's the current prime minister of belgium. for european parliament now he was tipped to be

the next european commission president just a few weeks ago it looked like a certainty now it looks absolutely unlikely that he will take that top job and for high representative of foreign affairs chef go which i'm going to merkel the german chancellor is she arrived for more talks on tuesday said that they needed to have more energy to more have more impetus and to be willing to find a compromise. we have them and we're going to get to work with new creativity today and i believe that everyone has to understand that they have to move a little bit e.u. leaders have a duty to find a solution well my uncle or merkel had originally back to munford verba she then seemed to change her backing towards the dutchman friend timmons however mr timmins does not sit well with those in central and eastern europe a group led by poland the czech republic slovakia and hungry all say no to mr

timmons the prime minister of the czech republic explaining why he certainly doesn't want to see the dutchman as commission president certainly we want to commission president who doesn't have a negative views about a region so mr to months is not acceptable to us and of story we have a completely different view on migration he's always backed migrant quotas and this is a problem for us we could be set for a late night at the european council meeting because the wealth the options they have is they either find a solution or they have to call another summit peter all over then you're saying across the latest for us. ok let's get some insight into what's going on with the e.u. at the moment from part tell who had the european journalism center but let's start with the backs of parties a little stunned today when a better protests have been to not show up at all well you know protestants the song or democracy you know i think it's not you see is not very nice very

polite well to do it but at the end you should accept any kind of protest. tell me back to their answer i mean it's just a formal process nothing more than do it could the brits the party's presence in the e.u. parliament affect the withdrawal deal. yes of course it's a very strained situation because it fired all the british and m b s r d's moment and we don't know if they will follow being and be seen one year time asked in october if they will retire or if they will withdraw from the parliament in the case of the bracks is succeeding finally so it's a very difficult situation for the parliament they are forming commissions that you have been a member of commissions on the nobody knows exactly what will happen what but the fact is what is happening in europe today nobody knows what happened with the brics it now black leaders have been wrangling for days about who will succeed younger

and other top jobs how deep do you think these disagreements run. this is a serious question that the end the white highlights is their lack of democracy of the european system we have now in the european parliament that is no. normal parliament in a way you can understand a parliament who cannot appoint the top jobs of the. european commission of the european council fact is that european council sort of states who are in power and they will decide. it's pretty difficult because they are not deciding based on the wheel of the population but to say that do you decide based i don't know we love the governments so i think this is a serious crisis that the in washington lied to it's how difficult it is to manner which democrat. without democratic hopes for without deployable really being able to hold 2 of who is in charge in brussels if we all agree that

it should be much more easy to bolt directly a precedent to the european union or are we not going off after that all the state the dismay or so we are now aware of the states that have one of the reporters have a different idea the parliament of the foreign media and there is a set of rules for electing the top jobs that is very difficult to consume it. now back in strasburg a sea of callon flags could be seen outside the e.u. parliament as activists protest its ban on 3 a pro independence politicians from standing in the elections what's your view on that decision. well do this is extremely dangerous spain. has asked the european parliament not to allow depressants into submission of 3 elective the member sort of parliament in the european election 2000000 votes in catalonia in a spin one of them a form of that vice president not

a couple of government please him for a trial prison in metairie the other 2 are free citizens all across europe by that in spain they would be detainees to come back to spain former president bush the hmong time the consul are coming in very dangerous there even though people involved in elections for at least and dad was a legal vs and then one of the states members of the european union decide that their wheel of the pollution is not an off. day must arise in some way the presence of these m.p.'s in the european parliament this is the 1st time ever to happen and do subjects throughout to the ride to the right sort of people not only old all 3 m.b.'s but has been banned at to our turn decision by 2 to 2000000 voters imagine the only country. in the european union can decide that after

the ball when a member of the parliament is already elected can decide if he can be or not i've done the intersession included this is absolutely crazy he said bartle from the european journalism center that you for your time and your comments. a few breaks out between berlin and rome after a german skipper is arrested for docking her migrant rescue boat without permission and sicily i'll be back with that story in full after the break.

what holds us do something. to put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express interest. or some want to be rich. but you'd like to be close to see what the fuck are you the more people. interested always in the lives of. their cities.

welcome back the british home office has sparked outrage after suggesting that nigerian women who are trying to get traffic to the u.k. to work as prostitutes enjoy a wealthy life when they return to africa. it looks at what prompted the comment. it's been described as at crisis level the number of nigerian women trafficked into prostitution across europe thousands of women and girls every year forced into the sex trade often in a bid to pay off the debt that they think could in paying transported to the continent according to the new when these women are sexually exploited they're raped. they are subject to all forms of human rights violations including torture rape extortion forced labor sexual and labor exploitation amounting to trafficking and contemporary forms of slavery if they were turned home there is also the risk

of violent proprieties the un has described that we have been a taishan in full social inclusion of trafficked persons back in nigeria as being particularly challenging however the u.k. government appears to be painting a very different picture one that's crazy trafficked women who return from europe wealthy from prostitution enjoy high social economic status and in general are not subject to negative social attitudes on return they're often held in high regard because they have improved income prospects this is part of an official policy and information gets used by the home office decision makers who handle any protection and human rights claims that includes trafficked women who may be seeking asylum that's sparked outrage this is a face by the thousands of people who are trafficked from my injury to the u.k.

is one of destitution i'm a they are bought by traffickers do you have a copy of their free will and imply that on the return back home they'll be welcomed back with open arms and community of the hardworking people it is difficult to return back there are cultural stigmas of the few people. because of the society in which religion plays a big part of it and put aside by your family or even just leaving the community also studying them for these are negative aspects of africa fighting i mean which the home office doesn't seem to feel the understand there is also a huge issue for those who do have returned to nigeria and getting access to the support that they desperately need percent of people who are trafficked to europe from nigeria with i'm 50 to 500 of them actually face actually looking for official fault from their p.t.s.d. . or mental health issues all the time but me the local authorities and the

government itself do not have the required for the teachers to teach to help such ingrained issues within the population to have these issues it's not the 1st time the home office has found itself questions sized over the way that it deals with victims of trafficking lawyers have accused of showing disregard for this safety after it emerged victims were being released from immigration detention back to the addresses where they were enslaved in 2018 it also emerged that under the hostile environment policy victims of modern slavery and human trafficking had been jailed in breach of legislation while others had been deported in a statement the home office said victims of modern slavery shouldn't be prosecuted for criminal or fast as they were forced to command as a result of exploitation just months after backing a campaign urging nigerian women and girls to find jobs at home instead of risking

a life of modern slavery in the u.k. some might argue that this latest advice that prostitution can essentially equal wealth could actually encourage more women and girls from nigeria to try their own luck and risk their own lives. auti london. iraq has broken out between germany and italy after the captain of a german rescue ship was he rested after docking insists late with a boat full of migrants the time interior minister matteo salvini brand of the skipper's decision to head to an italian port without permission an act of war from justice i expect severe penalties for those who have made an attempt on the life of italian soldiers and repeatedly ignored. from the other european countries germany and france above all i expect silence and respect we are however ready to expel the german outlaw the captain carol rock had he has her supporters in germany hundreds

marched in munich during her arrest unfair and disproportionate minister also weighed in calling her treatment unacceptable ready. ziva which the rescued sea is not a group in the offense it is unacceptable to also the top and and what we consider to have been the human the terrorist acts is criminal was. the 31 year old was arrested on saturday after she docked with 42 migrants on board or had a allegedly steered the vessel in the direction of a government boat that tried to block her from entering port she apologized explaining her decision as being motivated by a fear for the migrants health she could now face up to 10 years in jail the german public has already raised more than a 1000000 euros to cover her legal costs on a similar telling campaign raise another $400000.00 but italians and germans are divided over the skipper's actions. we think that people should be saved anyway

but the history of europe has a cycle incident based on migration for centuries and centuries and centuries well and significant men who try and stop these things board ever come between not i wouldn't call it an act of war i imagine that if there was war here and if i were fleeting and desperate for help and then they rejected me that would be so terrible . i mean that i think should you degree think he buys italian laws shouldn't be broken let me i'm sorry for the 42 lives that i think she needs to leave italy like salvini says because we're already full of immigrants i think germany is a great thing helping grow but the immigrants could also go to germany. that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook for up to the minute reports.

as we speak laws organize care of it are on the march to the united states. and the way in a player coming out part of getting. enough here's an e-mail saying that. this is a virtual invasion of our country. so far because the only thing we see. that i'm at the end i thought of it but i meant a oh yeah that i found you know the thing up in the form of a feeling you know it's going to sound good in. a nice powerful. as you do is you know we're going to see a more little girls who noticed this is an issue for a player for. the.

seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape out just to become educated and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i was in los angeles it was march of 1901. i go over and i look out the window and there they are. so i was arrested and that day father and i wanted her to bring a bargain. i understand she area is not going to pay somebody and i could probably wouldn't she didn't even know just to savor all the scam not

as that's not my daughter so she wouldn't do this. and as a result they were under. ready i could not plead guilty to everything that they accused me of. not guilty about ultimately i was convicted for conspiracy and dire received 24 year sentence there's a way in which you have to see the conspiracy law is a very important tool of law enforcement if the crime is selling drugs and some men in miami cells 20 kilos of cocaine to an undercover agent. you want to ask who is the seller working where does the money go if the money goes back to a drug lord in colombia who's going to keep the proceeds he's in the

conspiracy even though he actually wasn't there when this sale took place he's a conspirator and so part of the goal of the conspiracy law is to make sure that the most senior level all of those in the criminal organization are justly punished the problem is when you flip it around and the lowest level people in the criminal organization get punished just like the the key. and that's the big problem in the way in which the conspiracy laws are being applied. and up in federal prison in dublin california i realized that i would need to spend a lot of time in the law library. i needed to film from a wise man. my case and everything that had gone wrong if you furthered the conspiracy one step you're guilty for everything in the conspiracy no matter when you entered the conspiracy it could have been.
