completely to be destroyed. by broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is r t international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us right google and facebook's business models threaten human rights by being based on surveillance this is according to a new amnesty international report the group alleges that the tech giants violate privacy and freedom of expression. reports. amnesty international released a report outlining how facebook and google abuse human rights that it's increasing dominance over the new global public square controlling the main channels the company's surveillance 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 violating 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 i want personal data can be shared with others it also accuses facebook of head and when you pull ation for a 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 amnesty his 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 visited li deny the latest allegations made by the n.s.a. international a person's choice to use facebook services and the way we collect receiver use data all clearly disclosed and acknowledge by users cannot meaningfully be likened to the involuntary enough 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 back tackle operates it calls for the alliance data protection laws 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 paula 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 a societal level in both continents and elsewhere around the world about exactly how much power 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 include a freedom of speech. israel's prime minister benyamin netanyahu has been indicted on charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust the decision comes amid the ongoing political crisis with israel facing a 3rd general election this year alone who has denied any wrongdoing and says he will appeal the decision he had hoped to avoid it in die. by passing legislation however that proved impossible after his failure to form a coalition government following september's election this is the 1st time a serving israeli prime minister has been indicted benyamin netanyahu has been serving as israeli prime minister since 2009 and it's not his 1st time in the job he previously held the top position from 1906 to 1909 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 the hardcore for general because. this president ladies and gentlemen this is. truly no story. 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 current medico the knesset to give him the immunity from prosecution if he fails to receive that immunity then he's good to google it if i'm for using the science and these really go system of course you are you know sort of

the going otherwise he's the most do you anything but he is the 1st every israeli prime minister to be indicted while he's in. a religiously corruption is that he was serving you know peace and i think in terms of these long term legacy this is something that will be remembered about being impeded by the hour for many many years because this is a game changer the seeds of the changes the political considerations of all of the players in these. leaked documents in the us have revealed the extensive lobbying of by drug maker producer pharma to market it's widely prescribed a pain killer and downplay the risks the drug has been blamed as a major factor in america's opioid epidemic the revelations were made by the investigative media outlet pro publica and they include allegations that produce hired sympathetic experts to peer in leading media outlets produce funded think

tanks are also accused of writing misleading articles while negative coverage was often challenged by medical analysts with alleged ties to the drug maker with more here's are to scale up and. produce 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 a 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 a 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 sally's to tell didn't just defend the profits of purdue in the new york times she also did it elsewhere she was quite a media star when it came to propane killer opining. oxycontin does not cause addiction it's 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 painkiller over dues is done 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 no for the more experience has shown a known addict 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 per view 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 kaleb up and r.t. new york. well right the bolivian senate has approved the 1st step towards fresh elections that says the country remains deep in political turmoil and followed the resignation of the democratically elected president evo morales who claims he was forced out in a coup there has been violent actions of his supporters and the security forces who have been granted impunity by the caretaker government. former.

president. said who was primarily aimed at stopping further. from the outside is easy to judge everything on myself as you know became a victim of a coup attempt that 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 better to resist to remain is some friendly region to you for example in the province in chappaqua and way just 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 continue 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 will recognize the government of this lady what is her name and he is i guess ana's genuine honest 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 to 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 obey they will be attacked at their homes with their families i believe that this is pure fascism of course jews were also

persecuted during nazi is. a selection of 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 a little feature of it is the anything related to 2 other kind of leaders and if they were related to any other mass of water or those people heritage should be kept as it should be out of question at all if intelligence service would not offer any person who seeks to whitehorse the light and so in a kind of leaders of our diet i says you know there's no question those people will be on the 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 names of the race of the next level of this and this is why we believe you have to be on the watch. while the european jewish associations official statement claims the items lacked historical value and will be bought by those wishing to glorify the fascist regime the auction houses director claims most of their customers are museums and professional collectors who quote deal meticulously with the subject. still to

come we look at the impact that washington's support for hong kong's pro-democracy protesters is having on relations with china stay with us but. i have concerns about new technologies and i think society should and i and i try to help them get gauged in those concerns. but we also should have concerns about doing nothing doing nothing is extraordinary risky in a world with some point 5000000000 people at a series of. ancient technologies that are not necessarily suitable for tomorrow. you know world of big partisan movies. 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 bath 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. welcome back this is on to the international now the us congress has passed a bill to support. kong and the protesters their president trump is expected to sign it into law despite delicate trade talks with china the move has angered beijing. don't go sit down with a single hong kong just part of china and hong kong affairs are china's internal

affairs of 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 security 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 with the us would be revoked and with the territory having been wracked with protests for months now it is already led to some economic consequences a 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 relocated to

singapore amid this social unrest demonstrators are demanding the protection of democratic rights and official investigations into police brutality. i . professor of politics at east china normal university in shanghai joseph gregory mahoney believes this can only lead to a situation where hong kong loses. is well aware the nice his 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 and about what they can't manage. it will probably create a situation where all. already has a number of negative consequences 'd 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 our listing in hong kong but i think we can also look at the announcement yesterday in china of liberalizing the financial services sector and mainland as an immediate tactical possible and some major announcement yesterday and today with a more. violent clashes have broken out in the haitian capital as hundreds of protesters demonstrated against in the visit of the u.s.

ambassador to the united nations reports say at least 2 people were injured. was because you use that live ammunition and rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the crowds protesters were attempted or attempting to disrupt talks between the u.s. envoy and haiti's president country has been crippled by protests since september demanding the president step down over a corruption scandal. high profile media outlets have been forced to backtrack on their reporting about child imprisonment at us. 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 pick up that story that's before the u.n. issued a clarification stating the figure is related to 2015 when president barack obama

was still in office according to the latest u.s. government data the true number of migrant children is disputed but so far they say that it's around 70000 outlets were quick to react but rather than correct the story in light of the new information some have dropped it altogether if p. is withdrawing this 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 brunson 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. right chad with more calmness for spectator usa i think such decisions are driven by media bias. it was determined that that report was actually 2015. and they had sort of history a retraction of clarifying that they simply took the story down so it seems that the press is exposing itself more and more particularly on this issue with the border as being fervently propagandists really are our team america host rick sanchez asked the larry king to comment on the current state of the us media king thinks outlets have long been entrenched along democratic and republican minds. 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 but c.n.n. has drifted left so the way we get our news is our duty 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 m s n b c or fox you don't get the news you get a viewpoint on the news and fog that's a good point fox might have kept next and then. there's a for me i will be back with more news at the top the hour this is our international stay with. what explains the bipartisan commitment to an ending wars in foreign military

interventions recent polls show the majority of veterans who fought in this century's foreign wars say it wasn't worth it in 2016 trying to gain traction for doubting foreign adventures today just doing the same why our view leads so out of . the markets or make a new all time highs interesting the money that is being force fed the. markets like draining the liver of a duck farm it has to come from somewhere. little bit more. true description sound up even for the owners so how to choose 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 to put food may not be a sofa the people believe 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 epidemic of 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 streets 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. is a tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but. that socialism has been only implemented for inside venezuela things look different we're going to announce

sanctions against. the venezuelan. cabazon up a moment to. get out of that. battle to stay on the path to the mad moment of the who story isn't new nixon henry kissinger to tell him. not be tolerated in latin america. an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make the economy scream so wants now making the economy of venezuela screed. i'm going to fulfill repeated purposes probably to the people and come on you know we've all boxed the truth. we really

only. now you want to work. no. for the. coming coming coming.

then this is a boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering all aspects of our global economy in the 21st century and then swan and i'm christiane washington here's what's coming out of that america that has everyone in finance talking college was in the talk to buy t.d. ameritrade a bank he met with more than $5000000.00 in combined assets will break down what this merger can mean punch a legendary trader who made billions betting on wars in closing his hedge fund i'll take a look at why one of the in this case most prominent hedge fund is shutting down and disappoint is charlie ms we approach the end of the year is there a time for it to turn around or are we going back into a bear was cycle for the world's largest cryptocurrency you've got a lot to get to on a very busy day. so let's get started. and we begin with fears that in fact there will be no phase one trade agreement between the u.s. and china at least not this year and those fears are translating into lower economic forecasts for not just the u.s. and china but really for global economic growth the organization for economic

cooperation and development said on thursday that the global economy is now at risk of settling into a quote low growth rut the o.e.c.d. has now lowered its forecast for global economic growth in 2020 to 2.9 percent from the 3 percent expected in september meanwhile the w.c.l. said thursday that members of the g 20 continued to impose restrictions on imports in the 6 months through october with new measures affecting $460400000000.00 in goods kristie as we do each day let's talk about this because 1st of all as we mentioned on wednesday right there's talk of this phase one deal between the u.s. and china may not get done this year which really isn't a big surprise it would take what about 5 weeks for a deal to be signed and we're already up against it based on where we are in terms of the calendar but even though you know that would be assuming everything is ready to go right now but it seems like both sides the u.s. and china are further apart than they're pretending exactly and this is as you know
