1:02 am
is expected to give his wrap up on the events later today but the details here is peter all over. one of the takeaways from this year's munich security conference was the crisis of identity that seems to be going on with western nations west listeners was the overarching theme of this year's event as western nations are being called on to take stock of their place in the world and which direction they're heading and not everyone seems to be pulling in the same way. europe's powerhouses germany and france want to see a relaunch a new beginning partly a move away from the united states one of the reasons for that is the glue that had been to washington it's no longer a sticky as it once was and on saying stuff a been that our closest ally the united states of america under the current government also rejects the idea of an international community is known very aim to
1:03 am
be great again if need be weighed against the expense of our neighbors and our partners in the. we have a lot in common with the united states freedom and so on so this is why we want to give the numerous was what is known at that point with america wants a nice develop our own strategy it was a beautiful has to develop the willingness to act to really act not to be doing commons and then saying every day that we had really very much concern. we should be able to act. the united states doesn't know what everyone's complaining about washington doesn't want to see change and spent the weekend trying to convince its partners that the best days of their alliance is still to come i'm happy to report that the death of the transatlantic alliance is grossly over exaggerated. the west is winning we are collectively winning the west
1:04 am
is winning freedom and democracy. the west will win. those polarizing views of left the nato secretary-general un spalted burg somewhat stranded in the middle he's attempted to bring everyone together by rolling out the classic good nights behind a common enemy they don't come much more common than russia we all saw face earth competition from a more assertive russia made dollars or responding countering russia's attempts to interfere in our democracies but that doesn't sit well with the public recent research shows that it's part of people in nato member states don't think that their country should support a nato ally in a conflict with russia i asked the people here on the streets of munich what they thought about transatlantic friction in the alliance. the ideas of how to
1:05 am
menace. different. europe doesn't like confrontation so it likes to avoid confrontation the us social a bit more tendency to go for confrontation we are europe we are not america so we must look only for europe 1st and so we can work to get a bit of america despite the divide was always there are you guys always fight for its own interests but i think that since tom became has it in. the west his winnings from secretary of state mike pompei are left many at this year's security conference cringing at the tone deaf nature of the current u.s. administration's attitude to transatlantic relations while european leaders from france and germany talked about of valving particularly when it came to russia the u.s. seemed focused on the past ignoring that they scored at least publicly being in denial
1:06 am
of this though is unlikely to help nato find its place in the modern world peter all of a. munich. alan corvet as former advisor to the french and terror and defense ministries told us that manning the relationship with russia is a strategic necessity for europe there is a contradiction between the fact that this alliance was to fight against the soviet union and no they had been saying that ok there is no more soviet union but there is russia then we have to do the same alliance military alliance against russia and they invent the they create spreads which do not exist we are not threatened by russia this is stupid to say that on the contrary we have to cooperate with russia and. russia is a european country series of the real need it was for 'd corporations risk russia

these are geopolitical negatived but these people are not free because they are all alive we need to. which is a prison these summits showed that internal differences are coming out more clearly the nation of western world is finished. now to australia our a dentist is trying to take a bite out of google and a groundbreaking ruling the tech giant has been ordered to unmask the identity of an online user who posted a negative review the anonymous reviewer warned that the australians teeth whitening service was quote extremely uncomfortable the dentist says his business was affected by google initially refused to take down the comments that his lawyer says companies reputations should not be unfairly damaged. i believe it's extremely
1:08 am
unfair that people are allowed to anonymously attack on the list hardworking small businesses we think google has a juicy of casual straightly and small businesses and business is globally for allowing these reviews to go on this ruling is groundbreaking google has historically argued that it is not responsible for user generated content and has only taken down negative post one or 2 by the courts under australian law businesses with fewer than 10 employees can sue over statements that could damage the company's reputation paving the way for possible defamation cases against tech giants such as this r.t. has reached out to google for comment on the case and will let you know if they reply google has already faced numerous such cases in australia just this month a barrister was awarded half a $1000000.00 over online comments claiming that he gave false and misleading advice and in july of last year the tech giant was faced with a contempt of court charge for failing to remove remove her views about a high profile sydney businessman we debated the issue with broadcaster karen turk
1:09 am
and journalist and commentator chadwick moore. this guy had one negative review and this is how he wants to get the courts involved you want to put this in google you want to sue the guy i mean just take care of your own business right it's sort of ridiculous and this is also a massive slippery slope how long if we keep up this culture until you're no longer allowed to criticize google itself or if you do you're some other massive corporation i'm also all for free speech by you know it's given people a mask to hide behind and they're not taking responsibility for what's being posted and they are hurting innocent people and this is becoming way too widespread dentist to be comes up is foolish if a bit on hinge if he thinks it's a good idea to be going after a troll on the internet know when someone's looking for a dentist their neighborhood they might google this guy and think do i want to go to the guy who's bringing the courts down on the troll on the internet or maybe i'll go to the dentist on the street instead now i don't agree i think that you
1:10 am
know we are in an environment right now that's so divisive and there's these people out there that just love to hate and they're just looking for something and i would be the 1st person to walk in and get teeth whitening from this dentist based on this because i feel very bad for what happened to him and i think we're just in an environment where we have to find a way to make people own the things that they're going to post that this is a prob that sort of the free market in just basic social etiquette is solved itself because when you have someone anonymous on the internet they automatically are not taken as seriously as someone who is putting themselves out there i actually have faith in my fellow man that man and woman that they're smart enough and discerning enough to know when something seems a bit off and to know it seems anonymous that maybe you don't take that person as seriously i would love to have faith in people and say you know that we're going to police ourselves and that it's going to stop this problem one of the problems that we have is we have this whole mentality of fake news and this cancel culture where you can completely ruin someone over a personal agenda the longer that we allow people to hide behind their screens and
1:11 am
be keyboard warriors the. moore this is spinning out of control but we have to find a way to control this the only way to do it is have validated profiles where people have to actually post who they are and there has to be some way to validate it there is a huge problem with defamation with people being have their lives destroyed on the internet but if you start trying to regulate all of this regulation and all of this forcing only goes in one direction but sun power these companies anymore they have so much power why don't we just all decide maybe we don't need to read these reviews on google maybe ask your your friends or family members say i need a dentist you've got someone you could recommend maybe that's the way forward 'd because the more research to do with these vast complicated companies and the more regulation and speech it's a spiral and in they already have too much power and influence our lives anyway don't they. after her defeat in the last u.s. presidential election hillary clinton appeared to have stepped back from high level
1:12 am
politics but she may now be handed a surprising return to the limelight. it doesn't mean he will resign a year after winning so hillary can take over by a back door of the picks hillary as a v.p. running mate would significantly reduce the likely expectancy man i would not want my life to be the only thing standing between hillary clinton and the president's jesse. pick me mike and you'll be completely safe. we are focused on the primary and the debate not the peace speculation.
1:13 am
and i know hillary clinton is not flawless no candidate here but she is the right choice. it would be foolish to deny the rumor because because bloomberg has come in so bizarre legally to the campaign clinton is a more national figure than bloomberg is she has a much larger just level of name recognition she is known by many many more people so what's especially telling is it shows the desperation of the democratic party to allow somebody to come in this late and had the d.n.c. try to push him to the front really turning the whole primary process into a joke i mean this is i mean this is nonsense you know to come into the the entire presidential campaign process after major primaries have already happened mid's
1:14 am
it's it's bizarre so yes it is the exact type of long shot desperate type of thing that you would do in that type of circumstance. well michael bloomberg may be trying to boost his campaign with a famous name is p.r. team is working to promote its boss in the eyes of younger voters it's ditching strong political messages in favor of means are days ago stand up reports reaching your audience can be a make or break when it comes to winning an election and 2020 has presented candidates in the us with new challenges like appealing to an online crowd but well . although america's the greatest nation in the world we still face many modern problems. and modern problems require modern solutions and if you wondering what the hell that was well that's a me pitches spread online they are the newest wrinkle in the big shot political game.

kids' life but bloomberg scum pain team is dead serious about their intentions while a mean strategy may be due to presidential politics we're betting it will be in fact a component to reach people where they are it could be it was president trump's powerful digital operation is already spent more than $300000000.00 on advertising and that's an odd $100000000.00 more than all of his democratic rivals combined and there are plenty of people eager to take bloomberg millions to get him online attention. hello juice boys can you post in the original mean to make me look cool for the upcoming democratic primary i don't think so to be honest your vibe is kind of on i

gender neutral pronouns so earlier this month peterson's daughter shocked his followers with this update on his health status put on a low dose in advance and asked being a few years ago for anxiety following an extremist of the air out of me in reaction to last april when my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer. the dose of the medication has increased he's been in unbearable discomfort from this drug made worse when trying to remove the reaction made him suicidal so it turns out the self-help guru could have been on the brink of suicide in a remarkable twist to his story the peterson family say they had a real hard time for finding a place for successful treatment we had to seek an emergency medical advance of a has been detox which we were only able to find in russia so what's with this medication it's part of a family of drugs commonly known as minor tranquilizers it's generally viewed as see if an effective for short term use but for long term that's when the ad times

real trouble kicks in mikaela peterson believes her father sufferings could have been at the hands of pharmaceutical joints i think that there's a huge misunderstanding about the dangers of physical dependence regarding specifically this class of drugs the medical industry is heavily like wow if you go to medical school out of the courses and take are backed by the pharmaceutical companies part of the reason we thought russia was a good option is because the medical system here isn't as backed by phonics so as it is in north america we don't know if any of mr peterson's health issues have anything to do with the career path that he chose he now seems to be slowly recovering but will the man who try to hope mankind up with an antidote to chaos be able to find one for all the disorder in and around his own life. you can watch the full interview with mikael peterson on the world apart program at our website www

dot com you know don dombrowski chief executive of the washington pain center told us about the risks of having overpowerful pharmaceutical company some medical education are sponsored by pharmaceuticals however every course i've ever taken they always say this course is sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry so most efficient will go go these courses which are fine get education which is fine but we're always should be wary again i think a lot of the things that she might be thinking of is like the oxycontin you really don't see that with these kind of medications of the best as a parent it's really hard these medications are hard to break the habit and it's not uncommon to have patients multiple rounds of trying to get sober any addictions whether it's alcohol or bedsteads opinions that there are really life threatening so if you stop these medications or drinking you could actually carry a self and withdrawals and have a seizure so it's a real medical problem and me it's a medical emergency so you really should seek physicians counsel on how do we knew
