posted if you start trying to regulate all of this regulation and all of the supporting only goes in one direction but the power of these companies anymore they have so much power. and people in the african nation of ghana are dying of cancer and other diseases as the west uses it as a dumping ground for electronic waste party's video agency replete films people's conditions and the extremely toxic area. you're watching our 2 international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 10 am come to the program. the top level munich security conference has left transatlantic allies in discord and pose an existential questions over their alliance and vision with the event asking whether the west global role is on the slide the u.s. tried to unite partners with the tried and true russian threat claim are growing

numbers of europeans are instead calling for dialogue russia's foreign minister is expected to give his wrap up on the a bunch later on monday they are all over reports. one of the takeaways from this year's munich security conference was the a crisis of identity that seems to be going on with western nations i asked the people here on the streets of munich what they thought about transatlantic friction and the alliance ideas of how to manage so well it. different. europe doesn't like confrontation so it likes to avoid confrontation the us has a little bit more tendency to go for confrontation we are europe we are not america so so we must look only for europe 1st and 2nd we can work to get a bit of america. the divide was always the device always fought for its own interests but i think that since charles the king has it and let. me make it

europe's powerhouses germany and france want to see a real knowledge a new beginning possibly a move away from the united states and then saying stuff or been that our closest ally the united states of america under the current government also rejects the idea of an international community they aim to be great again if need be to get the expense of neighbors and partners. we have a lot in common with the united states freedom and so on and so this is why we fight together numerous was but is not quite what america wants and we need to develop our own strategy. has to develop a willingness to act to really act not to be doing comments and saying every day that we had really very much concerned extremely. we should be able to act washington doesn't want to see change and spend 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 as well. we are collectively winning the west is winning freedom and democracy winning winning the west will win let's keep those polarizing views of left the nato secretary general get stoltenberg stranded in the middle he's attempted to bring everyone together by rolling out the classic unites behind a common enemy we also face competition from a more assertive russia made on mars or responding countering russia's attempts to interfere in our democracy 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 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 the discord at least publicly being in denial of this though is unlikely to help nato find its place in the modern world peter all of. munich. western doctors overprescribe drugs that's the reason one of the world's most well known psychologist gordon peterson went to russia for treatment his daughter tazz told r.t. he's been undergoing detox treatment in this country after being misdiagnosed in several american hospitals are to go pick up the story. what is the price of living a life like that of jordan peterson a number of emotional breakdowns by the canadian who's become known as the world's top self-help guru have been caught on camera another comes up to me and they shake their hand and they say look i've been listening to what you've been saying for 6

months and it's changed my life and started cleaning up my room and telling the truth just want to thank you for helping me you'd think a widely cited academic and author of a global bestseller explaining how to fix your life wouldn't have any problems with keeping his own in order but lately professor peterson's been in a real trouble with his health this is what his daughter has told us he had a terrible. last month nearly died several times i'll quickly remind you of who exactly jordan peterson is a professor of psychology at the university of toronto his speeches and interviews have attracted tremendous public attention videos featuring jordan peterson are watched by millions online crowds as big as those that turn out for football matches gather to hear his lectures worldwide but just as much as he inspired some of the 57 year old professor embittered

a full auto army of haters all because of his bid to challenge political correctness the man widely seen as a right wing celebrity is loathed by the left for things like once going against 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 of the bands and asked being a few years ago for anxiety following an extremist of the air out of your 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 the need 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 they had to seek an emergency medical event 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 giants i think that there's a 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 pharma so i'm curious as it is 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 douse 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 mikhail peterson on the world apart program on our website r.t. dot com. most of us have written a negative online review of a company but under australia's strict defamation laws that could land you in real trouble in a groundbreaking ruling google has been ordered to unmask the identity of an online user who criticize a dental practice there the anonymous reviewer warned a teeth whitening service was quote extremely uncomfortable the dentist says his business was affected but google refused to take down the comments that dennis lawyer says companies reputations should not be unfairly damaged i believe it's extremely unfair that people are allowed to anonymously attack on this 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. historically google

has argued that it is not responsible for user generated content and has only taken down negative posts when ordered to 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 now we have reach out to google for comment on the case and 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 last year the tech giant was faced with a contempt of court charge for failing to remove reviews about a high profile sydney business men we debated the issue with broadcaster karen turk 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 but 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 just comes up is foolish it's a bit on him 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. google this guy and think do i want to go to the guy who's bringing the court stone of trolling the internet or maybe i'll go to the dentist on the street instead now i don't agree i think that you know we are in an environment right now that 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 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's putting themselves out there i actually have faith in my fellow man and 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 like 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 be keyboard warriors the more 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 search 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. are to use the agency ruptly as filmed residence and gone up burning electronic waste which releases highly toxic chemicals causing cancer and other deadly diseases the country has become africa's most polluted dumping ground for old electronic devices like mobile phones from the west.

online he said he did so to highlight their puck receive benjamin cleavers campaign he said this was a man who was standing on a platform of family values but in fact was doing something very different in his private life it's been a very embarrassing turn of events for mcallen's party who are already trailing in the polls in the election next month pawlenty is an activist an artist and he has a long career of stunts that have also been criminal acts. thank.

you. russia it's sometimes difficult to be and. yes especially for one makes a political declaration out of his art that's the case of so that poverty and we already know it and there's just no respite for setting the door of the former k.g.b. building on fire. well since arriving in france and receiving that political asylum he's been a bit of a nightmare for the french authorities to he set fire to the bank of france building in the basti just a few years ago since then he said i've been involved in a brawl on new year's eve just gone where he apparently brandished a knife and injured 2 other party goers and then of course this latest incident of disseminating this video of a sexual nature of a high profile politician here in france now the interior minister christopher

kastner has said the full weight of the law must be brought down on public. broadcasting a certain videos without the consent of the author or subject to criminal sanctions in our country resulting in a substantial fine and 2 years imprisonment and these offenses must obviously be prosecuted it is a matter of respect for democratic rules. as. well as a little bit embarrassing he was given that political asylum and yet here in france he too has acted out in these political stunts which have also been considered criminal acts of france so much so that khan's own party members and now calling for him to be sent back to russia. get this guy out he's a political refugee he behaves like a bastard the 1st thing to do would be to put him on a plane straight to russia and he will see with mr person if you can do this kind of crap which you do. well if pawlenty does face the full weight of the law

here in france he could receive up to 2 years in prison for so-called revenge porn and a fine of 60000 euros. our to charlotte devinsky bring us the latest from paris thank you. after her defeat in the last u.s. presidential election hillary clinton appeared to have stepped back from high level 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 who have the pics hillary as a v.p. running mate would significantly reduce their life expectancy man i would not want my life to be the only thing standing between hillary clinton and her presidency

just saying pick me mike and you'll be completely safe. we are focused on the primary and the debate not v.p. speculation. 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 bizarrely late to the campaign clinton is a more national figure than bloomberg is she has a much larger and level of name recognition she's 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 at this late and had the d.n.c. to 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 come into the the entire presidential campaign process after major primaries have already happened 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 mike 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 the younger voters it's ditching strong political messages and favor of names i don't think our 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 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 i mean pitches spread online they are the newest wrinkle in the big shot political game. it's. donald trump has been rocky dragon's daddy as the king of the mean realm and not only his presidential crown but he's virtual one too is now in jeopardy the

democrats have means squads fighting on their side to bernie sanders has bernie bros a grassroots fun base photoshopping his face in the name of humanity elizabeth warren now has a war in me team which is posting some weird stuff like this and lo and behold michael bloomberg is entering the ring. how do you follow kid's 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 an effective 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 off i put lamborghini door on the escalate. hello mr signed up can you make a viral me to let the younger demographic know i'm cool candidates. mr tank i've been waiting for my mean for so long that i've learned how to make myself in photoshop. yeah who would have thought money can't buy you love or make you funny either apparently

internet this some great campaign is enough to get your attention we're talking about it people are talking about it but voters are going to want to go to the next step to say ok what do you have to say that's going to be the problem because there's no desire he is ubiquitous he will pay money among people to get his message out in terms of signs and visibility but when it comes time to convince the voters that's what matters that's a breakdown of the day's top news for now but if you're looking for more you can always have to our website r.t. dot com thanks for tuning in this hour.
