doing the same why aren't you meet somebody. over the last 3 decades the european union has seen its enlargement as a way of helping its eastern neighbors democratize well keeping them firmly within its political as the mantra of the bigger the best person to be the case. a new report by amnesty international accuses the tech giants google and facebook of violating human rights by employing the surveillance of based business models. benyamin netanyahu is charged with bribery fraud and a breach of trust it is the 1st time an israeli history that a sitting prime minister has faced indictment in criminal investigations. and there is a backlash from the jewish community in germany after nazi memorabilia is sold at auction

for thousands of euros. but the terms of there's nothing to do for the does nothing for research for its beauty completely to be destroyed. by broadcasting live direct for our studios in moscow this is art international and john thomas but never with us. our google and facebook business models that threaten human rights by being based on surveillance this is according to a new amnesty international report the group alleges the tech giants of violate privacy and freedom of expression. as more. and the sea international released a report outlining how say spoke and abuse human rights. dominance over the new global public square controlling the main channels the company's.

valence based business model forces people to make a fenced in bargain whereby they are only able to enjoy their human rights online by submitting to a system predicated on human rights abuse their report accuses google and facebook of fly awaiting the right to privacy on an unprecedented scale as well as freedom of expression not only does it represent an intrusion into billions of people's private lives that can never be necessary or proportionate but the companies have conditioned access to this services on consenting to processing and sharing of their personal data for marketing and advertising directly countering the right to decide when and how our personal data can be shared with others it also accuses facebook of head and when you pull ation for political ad targeting the use of micro-targeting for political messaging can also limit people's freedom of expression by creating a curated world view inhospitable to pluralistic political discourse ministers report has only confirmed what has long been known as both tack giants have been

caught red handed countless times the world's eyes were opened to the risk these tech platforms posed back in 28 by the facebook can break analytical data scandal data from 87000000 people's profiles were harvested and used to micro target and manipulate people for political campaigning purposes and it looks like we're still haven't learned all the lessons last week a report on the wall street journal revealed that google partner it with health care provider asuncion to secretly collect and store medical records on millions of patients across 21 states all after the company failed to convince customers to hand over their medical data voluntarily meanwhile facebook has vividly denied the latest allegations made by the amnesty international a person's choice to use facebook services and the way we collect receive or use the. ada all clearly disclosed an acknowledged by users cannot meaningfully be

likened to the involuntary enough and unlawful government surveillance so is there a way for users to keep their data base well the reports as there is but it will take out a radical overhaul of the way big tax operate so it calls for the alliance data pretax and loss to make the system more humane but is there a place in real life for an internet that has human rights at its core both companies have been challenged on numerous different occasions about their behavior people could look at a number of separate incidents or you could see it as a larger i think call issue partly to do with their attitude towards users and towards dates but also because their business models have been built around the fact that they need to collect that data to offer to advertisers and in order basically to power their business but i think we need broader agreement at the societal level in both continents and elsewhere around the world about exactly how

much power we willing to give to companies with this amount of data it's a concentration of data are in a few hands that is the major issue here it's only when we have that level of collection of data that it really becomes a threat to our human rights basically or it can also become a threat to many other rights including freedom of speech. israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu has been indicted on charges of bribery fraud and a breach of trust the decision comes amid the ongoing political crisis with israel facing if 3rd it general election this year alone who has denied any wrongdoing and says that he will appeal the decision he had hoped to avoid indictment by passing legislation however that proved impossible after his failure to form a coalition government following september's elections this is the 1st time a serving israeli prime minister has been indicted benjamin netanyahu has been serving as israeli prime minister. since 2009 and it's not his 1st time in the job

and he previously held the top position from 1996 to 99 he is well known for his close relationship with donald trump and with the help of the u.s. president he has achieved a number of his goals. this is the store. that will be for our course for general because. this president ladies and gentlemen this is. truly no story. technically he has the ability to ask the knesset the israeli parliament for unity but it doesn't seem likely there will be a majority in the corridors medico the knesset to give him the immunity from the

prosecution if he fails to receive that immunity then he's good to google every 5 for easiness list and in these really go system of course you are innocent of these going otherwise he's the most due to you anything but he is the 1st every very prime minister to be indicted while he's. allegedly corruption is that he talked while i was serving you know face and i think in terms of the long term legacy this is something that will be remembered about being in a time you know for many many years because this is a game changer this is a big deal and changes the political considerations of all of the players in these . leaked documents in the u.s. have revealed the extensive lobbying by drugmaker purdue pharma to marketing it's widely prescribed pain killer and downplay the risks the drug has been blamed as a major factor in america's opioid. the revelations were made by the investigative

media outlet pro publica i mean include allegations that produce hired prophetic experts to appear in leading media outlets producer funded think tanks were also accused of writing misleading articles while negative coverage was often challenged by medical analysts with alleged ties to the drug maker it's more here's our. producer pharma the corporation that created oxy cotton is generally blamed for the crisis due to their efforts to reorient the medical community and change the narrative regarding the dangers of addiction let's go over a specific example of how they went about doing this in 2004 the new york times ran an article containing this wildly misleading statement regarding the danger of addiction contrary to media portrayals the typical oxycontin addict does not start out as a pain patient who fell on wittingly into a drug habit the author of that article is sally said tell a fellow at the american enterprise institute specializing in medical issues

coincidentally the american enterprise institute received 50000 dollars a year from purdue pharma since 2003 plus an additional 800000 dollars for special events according to documents received by pro publica but it gets better what study did said tell site in order to defend the funder of her institute the national household survey on drug abuse found that among non-medical oxycontin users 98 percent has also used other addictive pain relievers for non medical purposes and more than that 4th had used herring well what they don't mention is that that study was actually carried out by employees and consultants of purdue pharma now sally's to tell says she has no idea that her institute was funded by purdue the new york times and the american enterprise institute have denied any wrongdoing but sallies to tell didn't just defend the profits of purdue in the new york to. she also did

it elsewhere she was quite a media star when it came to propane killer opining. oxycontin does not cause addiction its abusers are already addicts. the real public health damage here comes from the pitched campaign conducted by zealous prosecutors and public interest advocates to demonize the drug itself this is tragic because oxycontin has been a godsend for millions of patients. only a minority of people who are prescribe opiates for pain become addicted to them and those who do become addicted and who die from painkillers over duces 10 to obtain these medications from sources other than their own physicians but media spin was just one step for do also funded other organizations to push its agenda of more prescriptions for pain killers the american academy of pain medicine and the american pain society promoted this for example studies indicate that they know their development of addiction we know it's

a use for the relief of pain is low furthermore experience has shown and known addicts can benefit from the carefully supervised judicious use of opioids for the treatment of pain for do it rich these donations were made but it defends its position purdue has been contacted over the years by policy experts at a variety of think tanks who are seeking additional context on industry issues for their work our engagement has always been appropriate and aimed at providing a science based perspective that the company felt was often overlooked in the larger policy conversation over 400000 americans have lost their lives to opioids since the year 2000 and many more lives have been ruined by addiction. r.t. new york. the bolivian senate has approved the 1st step towards fresh elections that as the country remains deep in political turmoil it followed the resignation of the democratically elected president evo morales who claims he was forced out in

a coup there have been violent clashes between supporters and the security forces who have been granted impunity by caretaker government talking to former ecuadorian president rafael correa said his resignation was primarily aimed at stopping for the violence. from the outside is easy to judge everything on myself as you know became a victim of a coup attempt then you immediately supported me of course it's scary when you see snipers when the police get out of control this is a rational fear to be brave does not mean to be afraid of nothing as we brave need to control yourself and do what you need to do and in bolivia's the police rebels and the army commander demanded that you the president elected in the democratic elections resign and you took this step it was a mistake would it be best to resist to remain is some friendly region to you for example in the province of chapel and wages struggle from there. i don't know but i

think that the most important thing at the moment was to stop further violence the next day our supporters no longer knew what was happening what happened to whom who died and who did not they were scared so technically you continued to be the president of the country. if my resignation was not approved then yes from a legal point of view. you know i want to commend the constitutional court the same one that allowed you to run for election or recognize the government of this lady what is her name and he is on as jeanine honestly this is yet another go i go it's simply unbelievable you don't even know whether to laugh or cry with such self-proclaimed presidents but the constitutional court recognized the government of this and yes what happened to this court did they intimidate it too we need to understand this because it may turn out that their decisions have nobody is forcing anyone. yes they threaten a lot of employees of various state institutions or threaten them if they are intimidated that if they do not abate they will be attacked at their homes with

their families i believe that this is pure fascism of course jews who are also persecuted juric naziism. are just like you know nazi memorabilia has gone under the hammer in germany the move has sparked a backlash from jewish leaders in the country. those items any items that have anything to that could come to be used and i think for any resource should be carried away archives of governments but items that there's

nothing to do from that does not do for research point of view completely to be destroyed and things that relate to the little future up and see anything related to to al qaeda leaders and if they were related to any other mass of water or those people heritage shouldn't be kept as it should be out of question at all or if we did as a service would not offer any person who seeks to whitehorse that item so for in a kind of leader of the world as i says you know there's no question those people would be under watch in order to make sure that there is a racial world leader to do something durable in the future those people have to be on their watch to make sure that the do not have any intention to take days to receive the next level of and this is why we believe you have to be on the watch for while the pm jewish associations official statement claims the items lack historical value and will be bought by those wishing to glorify the fascist regime

the auction houses the director claims most of their customers are museums and professional collectors who quote deal meticulously with the something. still to come we look at the impact that washington support for hong kong the pro-democracy protesters is having on relations with china stay with us. you know world of big partisan groovy 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. 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president. or some want to be. left to go right to be for us this is like the 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the lawyers in the. city. welcome back this is an international now the u.s. congress has passed a bill in support of hong kong protesters president trump is expected to sign it into law despite delicate trade talks with china the move has angered asian. don't

go. home kong just part of china and hong kong affairs are china's internal affairs to go away the united states should immediately stop interfering or it will be heed by negative consequences china will have to take strong contra measures to defend its national sovereignty and development interests when they join the bill called the hong kong human rights and democracy act will allow sanctions to be imposed on those officials who suppress human rights in the city it will also require an annual assessment of hong kong's autonomy under the current chinese one country 2 systems the city has its own government and is in charge of its own economic affairs if any issues are flagged up on kong's special trade status within the us would be revoked and with the territory having been wracked with protests for months it is already led to some economic consequences the number of companies have started to quit hong kong with the city losing its crown as the most lucrative for

luxury swiss watches some companies have even relocated to singapore amid the social unrest demonstrators are demanding of the protection of democratic rights and official investigations into police brutality. i . professor of politics that is to china normal university in shanghai just of gregory mahoney believes that this can only lead to a situation where hong kong loses. as well aware the nicest government is famously and unapologetically mettlesome another country's affairs often with catastrophic results for stakeholders we have to recognise i think that the china sentiment in the us appears to be chipping in to a level of seen a foe that madness at this point and frankly it increasingly recalls the same sort

of culture that was fostered in the us yes the soviet union during the reagan years congress is pandering to the sentiments of one of the few areas where the 2 parties can agree with each other so it's kind of ironic that the american political system which can't work together to solve its own problems won't this won't stop them of course from meddling with others ultimately while it may reinforce protesters in a battle they can't win with. it will probably create a situation where all. already has a number of negative consequences for hong kong there have been some talking about not entering the market others leaving the market one thing though that you know we see the chinese i.p.o.'s have not have not been deterred and it's not yet clear this will encourage or discourage them from a listing in hong kong but i think we can also look at the announcement yesterday in china of liberalizing the financial services sector in mainland as an immediate tactic to possibly offset and some major announcement yesterday and today with a more. violent clashes have broken out in the haitian capital as hundreds of

protesters it demonstrated against the visit of the u.s. ambassador to the united nations reports say at least 2 people were injured. police years and live ammunition and rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the crowds protesters were attempting to disrupt talks between the u.s. envoy and a president the country has been crippled by protests in september demanding the president steps down over a corruption scale. high profile high profile media outlets have been forced to backtrack on their reporting about child imprisonment at u.s. migrant camps under the trumpet ministration reporting was based on a u.n. experts claim that 100000 migrant kids were being held at u.s. border facilities often in violation of international law. outlets including the associated press the new york times and reuters picked up the story that's before

the u.n. issued a clarification stating the figures relate to 2015 when president barack obama was still in office according to the latest u.s. government data the true number of migrant children held so far this year is 70000 . now outlets were quick to react but rather than correct the story in light of the new information some dropped the story altogether if p. is withdrawing the story the author of the report has clarified that his figures do not represent the number of children currently in migration related u.s. detention but the total number of children in migration related u.s. detention in 2015 we will delete the story the fact that this stuff to clean news agency is going to bury news because it didn't feed the narrative they've been tasked with this bronson encapsulates everything wrong with the press in other words it makes obama the democrats look bad so we will delete the story rather than issue a correction retraction because we can't have anyone reporting the truth wait did

you on lock up this children while obama was president diabolical did putin help him do that. chad with more calmness for a spectator usa things such decisions are driven by media bias. it was determined that that report was actually 2015. and they had sort of restoring a retraction of their fine they simply took the story down so it seems that the press is exposing itself more and more particularly on this issue with with the border as being fervently propagandist. earlier r t america host rick sanchez asked larry king to comment on the current state of the us media king things outlets have long been entrenched along the democrat and republican lines. what we have today in media. and that's a good quote. is that we have one network devoted exclusively to the right

one exclusively to the left one network just says it's in the center was c.n.n. has drifted left so the way we get our news is r t but we get our news from c.b.s. a.b.c. n.b.c. at the appropriate half hour in the evening so are we were certainly you get the new was a few if you click around you're going to get the news if you only tune to em as and b.'s or fox you don't get the news you get a viewpoint on the news and fox that's a good point fox might have kept next and then. either does a female be back with more news of the top of the hour stay with.

good food descriptions sound up to even for the owners so how to choose the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out that food may not be as healthy as people believe and we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge have a democrat problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. over the last 3 decades the european union has seen its enlargement as
