a smokescreen to hide washington's own breaches of the treaty and its intention to leave it this all leaves 0 doubt about america's real intentions haven't got rid of the existing limits it's now free to deploy previously for a bit missiles anywhere in the world top american politicians say that you systems could be deployed 1st to the asia pacific region this affects our interests as well because it is situated near our borders over the last few months we kept hearing warnings from the russian capital that if here they realize that washington is rushing to develop or deploy new missiles now that they don't have to abide by the terms of the agreement moscow will do exactly the same and on friday mr putin made it clear that the russian take on this won't change and that moscow was ready to take all the necessary steps presentable and i mean. as you know we've never wanted and still don't want to get into an arms race which is expensive and destructive for the country's economy all the latest weapons that we've been. the other thing

we're response to america's unilateral pullout from the 2003 antiballistic missile treaty we were forced to maintain the security of our people and our country we are doing the same now and no doubt will keep on doing this in the future so once again the message from the russian government is they don't want to be dragged into this game but they are being forced to do it and the response from them will come quickly while the collapse of the i.n.f. treaty was addressed at the un security council where tensions flared russia and china called for global action to prevent a new arms race and rival powers blamed each other for the ongoing escalation. because do you realize that because of the u.s. ambitions we are one step away from an arms race that cannot be controlled all regulated in any way the united states will not remain a party to a treaty that is deliberately violated by russia with depended only on us we would not reach this dangerous situation the united states is taking the necessary steps

7:10 pm
you any response they give us recently in a leaked audio recording the executive editor of the new york times appeared to indicate a shift in the paper's agenda. race in the next year is going to be a huge part of the american story and i mean race in terms of not only african-americans and their relationship with donald trump but latino's an immigration legal and media analyst lionel gave us his take on the scandal. i don't mean to laugh i'm sorry but. 10 years ago i wrote this i'm sorry now i didn't mean that for 10 years i've labored under this is guilty and now i now i've got to come clean i'm so sorry about what i wrote then i haven't said anything now but now that you bring this up i'm going to bring this up look what good new york times historically meant to the did great old lady the the this this. of the crime the lacrosse the mount olympus
7:11 pm
of journalism new york. and then you have dean baquet who has a town hall meeting when his employees are are basically upset with the fact that his paper is not being aggressive now in going after trump so he has this town hall meeting where he's trying to quell the anger by saying don't worry we're going to do everything we can to focus on a particular news and commentary vector when instead they should be reporting the facts. conservative activists in the u.s. are celebrating after a court agreed to reconsider censorship case against facebook google twitter and apple those bringing the lawsuit accuse the tech giants of bias and of suppressing
7:12 pm
content from the conservative end of the political spectrum controversial right wing activist laura is leading the case with a group called freedom watch she's previously been banned from all kinds of online platforms from twitter and facebook to pay pal and the lawsuit also alleges the 4 tech giants violated the 1st amendment and the u.s. anti monopoly laws there have been a growing number of leaks and testimonies from those who work for big tech alleging anti conservative bias. even out blacklist where is someone that's right it does show that there are conservative 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 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 all the current legal
7:13 pm
consensus is that tech giants all allowed to moderate the content which appears on this site still through the apps though they have denied any censorship. do you discriminate more on philosophy like anti conservative versus pro liberal no. policies in our 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 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 object elite using a set of rubrics 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 challenge to hunt this there's a confusion 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
7:14 pm
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 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 of our free speech and you know that for most of us in america we could agree that our 1st amendment speech right is critical to everything that is freedom and most of us would wish that some of these tech giants would go along with that. a vacant couple who left the child malnourished have avoided jail time but story and more after this break.
7:15 pm
a leg. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic
7:16 pm
development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical daryn time to sit down and talk. welcome back every good couple from australia whose child was found to be seriously malnourished after being placed on the beacon diet to have a skate jail after a judge handed more than 300 hours of community service instead according to police the baby was severely underweight after being placed on a vegan diet from perth eating only oats and sponsor vegetables she weighed less than 5 kilograms suffered from major problems with her bones and was hardly able to move doctors said she had only developed as much as a 3 month old and had no teeth because of a lack of necessary vitamins the parents face huge criticism for not thinking of the consequences of their actions. the finer apparently discharge is not
7:17 pm
a parental responsibility to take charge by providing the necessities of life causing a danger of serious injury is undoubtedly very serious conduct particularly where the child is very young and he's unable to independently care for himself or herself at all one putting in fact out of you that there is no greater responsibility and that by a parent to his or her char to care for the child to nurture the child and protect the child from any harm or injury caring for the go was caring for a very young baby she couldn't sit up she couldn't speak any words she couldn't feed herself hold a bottle she couldn't play was to spend the day in court running back and forth she couldn't roll over all the way. or this case raised the question of whether it's appropriate to use vegan diets for small children despite the protests some experts
7:18 pm
including those in the american academy of pediatrics think it is acceptable and it can be good for children have a not all agree with them on the issue and we discussed it with judy moore a registered dietician a nutritionist and patrick holden the founding director of the sustainable food trust. the contact between health as it is now with our health services is quite poor. and children aren't seeing nearly as regularly or as often as they used to day say 10 or 15 years a care and i think that's one of the problems that house for the sisters just can't keep keep an eye on the on the number of children that they've got on that case larry we need to keep a vigilant eye on people who for the probably the best reasons are misguidedly feeding their children on healthy diets it's possible to keep the child healthy a batch they do need supplements you can't just rely on if they can diet yes we need to eat less meat but don't give up together the right kind of meat and that's
7:19 pm
good for your health even if you do all that and you help and somebody helps you plan the very last you're channeling greg to the heights. genetically potential height because we believe that milk protein and meat processing also are trying to an important factor in growth probably very challenging if you have to be an expert nutritionist to get it right and i would argue that perhaps it's not necessary to be quite so extreme as i have seen several reagan parents who come to me and say they want to bring up their challenge they get in and once we talk it through and i explain the implications of it and have plans for right to be in the planning of the doc most of them decide against it but i would say that most of them that i've seen race in a while either the last 2 or 3 years and not getting the going because of their environmental concerns there's a lot of worry at the moment about what does that that is correct for addressing climate change and all the other problems with facing is what we would argue that
7:20 pm
it is possible to eat sustainably to include a whole range of sustainably produced livestock or us in the diet without feeling a little guilty about it and probably your children would be better off with a void of age and not have. very young children and let the children decide when they're old enough maybe after their great spirit is finished with a trauma begin to actually not and in the mean time allow them to eat a full of diet full of all the. food groups we can address climate change but he she will sustain. those. in australia a former defense lawyer faces jail over the leak of controversial afghan files he appeared in the supreme court on thursday for preliminary hearings david mcbride released classified material in 2017 alleging australian troops committed war crimes in afghanistan he was charged with breaching the country's defense act and is expected to face trial next year he claims it was his duty to the australian
7:21 pm
people to make the documents public i've got a few tricks up my sleeve it's worth having a go i might fail but i'll be happy in jail if i've tried among the instance reported in the so-called afghan files where the killing of a civilian man and his son during a raid where it was alleged they were shot by mistake in another case an afghan does any was shot dead while he was alone with an australian soldier david mcbride claimed that before leaking the information to the media he tried to bring it to the attention of officials behavior is efforts were in vain we discuss the issue with former cia officer turned whistleblower john kiriakou. it's so typical it's so common in places like the united states the u.k. australia really the 5 eyes countries to attack the whistleblower rather than to address the crime and to to punish those who committed the crime there ought to be hard and fast whistleblower protection laws there are in many countries there is
7:22 pm
not in in australia but they really need to be legal protection so people can can go confidently to their supervisors or to their legislature or even to the media to report crimes in this case i think that that the australian soldiers involved were probably i'm not even sure how to say it but sucked into the same kind of of wartime situation that so many americans have been sucked into you think that you can get away with things you think that they are crimes and eventually there's going to be a whistleblower you know there's there's an old saying that the truth always comes out and i think that that is the case it was the case here it's been the case in the united states whether it cia or n.s.a. or f.b.i. the truth always comes out and so if you don't want trouble just do the right thing . the german captain of a migrant to rescue boats in the mediterranean has snapped

fellow e.u. members charlotte dubinsky delves deeper into the story paris has consistently lobbied for better or worse that consent is for migrants while the city was actually the 1st to open a temporary reception center which some 13000 migrants said to have passed through and it's invested 40000 euros 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 killing us on the capital's doorstep between $700.00 and the $1200.00 migrants are sleeping rough in the streets in makeshift camps under bridges on roadsides where they're forced to live in 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 mccool's government has
