5:01 am
there is midday here in moscow you're watching r.t. international that conservative activists in the u.s. is celebrating after a court agreed to reconsider censorship case against facebook google twitter and also apple those bringing the lawsuit accused the tech giants of bias and of suppressing content from the conservative end of the political spectrum it looks at the significance. if you haven't heard of a laura loom or now is the time the young female activists dared to go against the all mighty big tag and could actually shake things up more on that in just a sec she's known as someone who's been banned from seemingly all kinds of the central online services from twitter and facebook to pay pal and when i got banned
5:02 am
from twitter. and i lost $95000.00 and i got banned and the funny i got and. i didn't just get depressed i thought straight up to this i don't know but many of those in america who heard of laura loom or will associate her activism with islamophobia and far right conspiracy theories most of these people would probably totally back the bands against her while at one point she decided to put up a real fight and court having teamed up with a group called freedom watch she sued apple facebook google and twitter accusing them of working together to intentionally and willfully suppress politically conservative content the lawsuit also alleged before had violated the 1st amendment and the u.s. anti-monopoly serious stuff but 1st the court said we're not looking into this an appeal by loom or fall straight after the tech giants wanted that one nipped in the
5:03 am
bud but wow their plan didn't work the clinic is instructed to enter a briefing shuttle on succumbing to this case for presentation to a merits panel so yeah the merits of this lawsuit will be heard or lunar and coal are way through far from winning the war but they've won this initial small battle which is crucial given how many other conservative or all right figures we're told they're not welcome on this or that online platform and some in the conservative wing did call for legal action before donald trump did so too are they breaking the law mr president well i do. i don't whether it but i tell you what they should be sued only censorship against the right claims have quite often been dismissed as conspiracy theories but hey lately a growing number of the kes and testimonies from those who work for the big tech have indeed pointed to the existence of anti conservative bias we even have blacklists where someone just robbed us shows that there are conservative then
5:04 am
they'll be blacklisted between different companies and different teams. that really need to change i see google executives go to congress and say that it's not going to be late it is not political and i'm just so sure that's not true they're telling people that oh they don't they don't have any blacklist this is all you know they don't have any political ideology they don't have any political bias but it's really clear that they do the tech giant bosses have time and again denied any wrongdoing we're just platforms is what they kept saying plus the current legal consensus is that these guys are allowed to moderate the content that appears on their sites or through their apps do you discriminate more on philosophy like anti conservative verses pro liberal no or oppose susan are rhythms don't take into consideration any affiliation philosophy were viewpoint there is absolutely no directive in any of the changes that we make to have
5:05 am
a bias in anything that we do we use a robust methodology to reflect what is being said about any given topic that any particular time and we try to do it objective lee using a set of threw bricks it's clear they are worried that at some point they won't be able to get away with just saying now you've got nothing to blame us for well we might have just seen a tiny 1st sign the tide could be turning certainly if this happened to her this is happened to a lot of people and it's high time that the big tech giants were talents to hunt this there's a. usually i think because americans love free speech and we love private property so we love for example when it's a company and we say well that company has a right to do anything it wants to but there comes a point where it's almost like a public utility because they have such a monopoly on communication in general especially in terms of social media so some of these giants that really do have control. they've changed the game you can only
5:06 am
come to one conclusion when it seems to only happen against conservatives in general and and i think that this flies in the face of our free speech and you know that for most of us in america we could agree that our 1st amendment speech is critical to everything that is freedom and most of us would wish that some of these tech giants would go along with that. i russia and china have called for global action to prevent a new arms race following the collapse of the key arms control agreement moscow and beijing called a u.n. security council meeting after the u.s. tested a cruise missile previously banned by the i.n.f. treaty rival power was to blame each other for the ongoing escalation. do you realize that because of the u.s. ambitions we are one step away from an arms race that cannot be controlled or regulated in any way the united states will not remain a party to a treaty that is deliberately violated by russia. if this depended only on us we
5:07 am
would not reach this dangerous situation the united states is taking the necessary steps to address the threat posed by intermediate range missile forces being deployed in ever larger numbers by russia and china would you but what about you are you going to avoid responsibility for what is happening to future generations forgive you for this russia's present actions are in line with a pattern of aggression that represents a clear threat to international peace and security the russian federation has the sole responsibility for the reason demise of the. us it would have been you might just do not understand by your responses to the americans you are returning to historical situation with mr. european cities from different sites. was a heated debate at the united nations security council now the united states has recently withdrawn from the i.n.f. treaty the intermediate range nuclear forces agreement and not only has the usa
5:08 am
withdrawn from the treaty but the usa recently tested a missile that would have been a violation of that treaty had it still been in effect many are viewing this as an escalation of a potential new arms race between russia and the united states now when the representative of the united states spoke to the security council they accused russia of being responsible for the agreements demise this is the us representative here today because the russian federation preferred a world in which the united states continued to fulfill its i.n.f. treaty obligations while the russian federation did not we've heard a narrative today that the united states had itself been in violation of the i.n.f. treaty because of our recent flight test which used the m k 41 launcher that is also found in our aid. the sure missile defense system this is categorically false now russia emphasize that its concerns about the m.k. 41 launcher have been proven to be indeed correct and that this launcher could easily be tested in transformed into the tomahawk missiles that were recently
5:09 am
tested by the united states and those missiles do indeed violate the treaty now russia which had been accused of having violated the i.n.f. treaty had repeatedly requested that inspectors come to russia and see if indeed these allegations from u.s. leaders were true however the united nations and the united states ignored their requests to defend themselves against these allegations of violating the i.n.f. treaty russia asked for dialogue around the issue and this dialogue was ignored here's some of what we heard from the russian representative. in accusing russia the united states and the countries that grunt alone with its are ignoring facts and common sense we proposed a closed door meeting to look at time misato of this clone us and give full information to convince them that we did not violate the treaty but they refused we cannot understand the arguments from the u.s. but we do want to save the treaty china was also subject to us allegations that the
5:10 am
security council united states accused china of boosting its military arsenal as well china responded that it was not correct for the united states to withdraw from the treating and blaming china for their decision was not honest or correct either this is the chinese representative addressing the security council with the i.n.f. treaty is of great importance to not only the u.s. and russia but it's a global peace and security it is an accent to which use china as an excuse for leaving the treaty china rejects the baseless accusations from the u.s. now the i.m.f. treaty was signed in 1987 it was a key moment in the deescalation and ultimate end of the cold war but. in the united states and the soviet union and the recent decision of the united states to withdraw from that treaty as many concerned about the potential for a new nuclear arms race now many hoped that the meeting could be the opening of dialogue toward restoring some kind of treaty regarding intermediate range nuclear
5:11 am
forces missiles and such however while a lot of accusations were exchanged no real consensus seems to have existed among the countries represented at the un security council investigative journalist david indoor only said the u.s. is forcing rival powers into an alms rice the u.s. was preparing to do this. that the fact that they launched this tomahawk missile from a mark 41 launcher proves what russia had been complaining about when the u.s. put these agents missile systems near the russian border russian western border and said oh these are to guard against iranian missiles which of course don't even exist there are no russian intermediate range missiles based around the united states and there aren't any chinese intermediate range missiles based around the united states the united states however wants to return to
5:12 am
a situation like 3987 when the u.s. said pershing missiles highly accurate 300300 kilogram turn were head missiles all over europe aimed at russia and the danger of these missiles is that they can strike their targets within minutes so it forces countries like russia or china to put their i.c.b.m.'s on here trigger response is very very dangerous time now and it's a going to lead to an enormous arms race. the german captain of a mine contracts can buy the top rights in mediterranean has snubbed the bravery award from prince concludes this paris health and paul courson given its treatment of migrants and refugees. we do not need authorities deciding about who is a hero and who is illegal at the same time your police is stealing blankets from people that you forced to live in the streets while you read protests and criminal ice people that are standing up for rights of migrants and asylum seekers well in
5:13 am
2070 claims boat was seized by italian authorities in the port of lampedusa with rescued migrants on board she was charged with assisting illegal immigration and could now face up to 20 years in jail the paris mayor's office has reacted to her criticisms of the french authorities inviting her to the city to see how migrants are actually treated there. we are waiting for you in paris to show you the different ways we are ensuring a dignified reception for migrants despite the tensions that exist on the subject with the state you'll fight is ours. now while the french capital is it all with the federal government over migrants france is also wrangling to over the years she with fellow e.u. bloc members show devinsky has more story. paris has consistently lobbied for better or 2nd sentence for migrants while the city was actually the 1st to open a temporary reception center which some 13000 migrants said to have passed through
5:14 am
and it's invested 40000 viewers in a restaurant to feed my kids if the paris mess says they would have done more but for the french government i do not understand why the government is allowing indignity and kiryas on the capital's doorstep between 700 and the 1200 migrants are sleeping rough in the streets in makeshift camps under bridges on roadsides where they're forced to leave inhumane conditions and does she have a point that the french state has repeatedly cleared migrant camps in paris but when one is dismantled sure enough another soon replaces it michael's government has also been criticized for a controversial asylum and immigration bill in a bid to limit new arrivals that law double to 90 days the time in which illegal immigrants could be detained it shortened deploying asylum applications and made
5:15 am
illegal crossing of borders as in offense with a jail time of up to a year but is false really in a position to sort out the problem itself it's been trying with germany to find consensus across the entire 8 you for a solution to the crisis on that level brussels is slamming italy and eastern european countries for shutting their doors to my quote. very people critical with me or paris is doing i don't know what went into the mind. of mine because you see of course they don't welcome you. here and you can see the people sleeping in just . to go with respect to eat it because it is good. most of the mines and fans and take them in in such large numbers so they blame the taliban for not opening their bulldozer but the fans don't do that either so it's completely people critical the thousands of those in the mater and maybe because exactly because of the so-called
5:16 am
humanitarian probably see which gives them the illusion that they would be. and they want the i mean the world all be from my quince in no time be at the way that they treated to the activists not happy at the way the government to helping the local governments not being happy with the federal governments and those federal governments not happy with brussels brussels it seems is not happy either it's one that huge circle going around and around but it's actually not getting anywhere . arty paris meanwhile across the atlantic the trump of ministration is also facing stick the way he treats undocumented children from the border with mexico will have a look at the latest plan the controversial plan to deal with that just off the bat .
5:17 am
this is the poseidon adventure mixed with the titanic in one colossal all sinking of the global economy right now we've got. trump starring with the ghost of paul newman on the bridge of the titanic watching as they engineer colazal failure of the global economy. seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape out just being educated and in gains from an equal trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
5:18 am
again without seeing our 9th round of peace talks between the u.s. and the taliban is underway in catch up but a new study has raised concern that any place in afghanistan could be undermined by cia backed militias operating in the country the report by brown university's watson institute argues that if a deal could and washington withdraws its troops the militias could start causing trouble. militias that operate outside the control of the central states and the chain of command of its armed forces will undermine the process of state formation and the prospects for
5:19 am
a sustainable peace said the cia has not confirmed backing militias in the region although links have been alleged throughout the 2 decades america has been fighting in afghanistan with his don't quote peace talks with the taliban could be making some serious headway washington is certainly optimistic about them conversations are going well the truth will be in the reality of what really happens other going to we can reduce violence will create a space where we can withdraw not only american support but nato forces that are there as well reducing violence would be great in a country that's seen 19 years of continuous war according to the reports there are 4 key negotiating points at the moment 1st the taliban must guarantee that it will not allow foreign armed groups to use afghanistan as a base for their terrorist attacks an obvious reference to al qaida which brought the u.s. and its allies to the country in the 1st place and return the u.s.
5:20 am
and nato troops must pull out from afghanistan then there's the questions of a permanent cease fire an internal political dialogue and then there's a couple of elephants in the room like for example the future of cia armed and trained afghan militias a new report by a u.s. based brown university's watson institute argues in fact no real peace could be possible unless their future is addressed. throughout the militias reportedly have committed serious human rights abuses including numerous extra judicial killings of civilians cia sponsorship ensures that their operations are clouded in secrecy our concern is if such units and militias continue to operate from of understanding in afghanistan it's going to. cause their white men to continue and i think that these militias are uncontrollable the most infamous of these groups is the so-called
5:21 am
coast protection force from summary executions to torture you name the human rights abuses they've probably been accused of it and they're not exactly shy about who they hang around with we are better trained than the afghan national army the helicopters and drones belong to the us but we regularly received requests to support them. the cia doesn't admitting they train these militias of course but they have quite the track record during the soviet afghan war they financed a group of islamic fighters called the mujahideen to fight the afghan government then backed by the u.s.s.r. and guess who came out of the mujahideen the same taliban that continues to be a thorn in the side of the us to this day one of the conditions of u.s. withdrawal is that the cia also will. stop all activities and leave the country newsgroups. disbanded or their return to the good cool or taken under the control rather of central government in kabul then this peace process is
5:22 am
a complete sham and it will carry about as much we as a bunch of lines went because these groups will still be operating this year you will still have a presence in the country therefore the us will still object to be occupying afghanistan when training more militant groups to fight the ones that turned on you last time lands you in trouble once again it might be time to take a hint donald quarter r.t. . human rights groups raising the alarm over the trumpet ministrations plans to keep undocumented children in detention indefinitely the detention of children can lead to trauma susanto feelings and exposure to dangerously natick with medical can now mounds of time and attention say for children and prolonged detention is particularly harmful well currently under the 1997 floors agreement detained migrant children have to be released after 20 days as do any accompanying parents but a new policy is likely to remove that time limit and security argues though that this
5:23 am
will help to stop the exploitation of children. new rules protect children by reducing incentives for adults including human smugglers to exploit minors in the dangerous journey to our border using them to beat the system and be released into the united states no child should be upon in a scheme to manipulate our immigration system which is why the new rule eliminates the incentive to exploit children as a free ticket or as one gentleman in what i'm all told me a passport for migration to united states or so far this year some 600000 people have been detained at the u.s. border since 20187 children have died in immigration custody a human rights lawyer says the new policy is likely to worsen the situation. it does 3 things actually what's being proposed it would as you say allow children to be held indefinitely right now there are limits on how long a child can be al in detention the 2nd thing it does is will move all state
5:24 am
regulations on these types of detention centers and the 3rd only does is it will deny access to independent observers who want to go to see and make sure that the conditions that hold children and their families are programmed so if they're held indefinitely we know children are going to be abused and treated terribly these immigrants are already and in uniquely terrible circumstances and this is only going to make it ringback worse the u.s. is eeriness really as a coercive measure to try to deter migrants from coming into the country basically that the u.s. is saying. if you come to this country with children you're going to be treated very badly in your children are going to be treated badly so don't come.
