a few eyebrows as it won't include foreign policy and many say this will deny trump the chance to hit out joe biden over the business dealings of his son hunter. meanwhile republicans want the twitter and facebook heads to testify before congress over a legit political bias that follows the platforms taking down links to a new york post article on hunter biden's business dealings in ukraine where i gotta have delved into that on a few outta control the seas it is often the case that those who trumpet loudest about being fair and unbiased aren't at all but facebook really seems to mean that they want fair elections no meddling and the president that america wants and facebook wants so today i want to share the steps that we're taking to protect election integrity and make sure that facebook is a force for good in democracy part of what facebook is doing is harboring people to

police news and one of the things that they're censoring is about the current scandal so joe biden his son and ukraine which involves alleged meddling abuse of power blatant conflict of interest and a whole lot of money going into the biden's family counts now if you try to share a link to an article about this on twitter or facebook here is what you get. the link you are trying to access has been identified by twitter or our partners has been potentially spammy or unseat in accordance with twitter's you are poor see how does this happen how does a huge scandal get censored the bardens have a lot of friends and one of those friends who now happens to workers election integrity police that facebook is a certain can do anna used to work as joe biden senior policy adviser for europe and eurasia which includes ukraine perseid see when biden jr was raking in
3:04 am
a standing sums of money for ukrainian energy company for doing well no one knows what while daddy told ukrainian authorities how to run that country. an american city by senior policy adviser for ukraine at the time also listened to the calls and said release of the transcripts would only strengthen biden's case that he acted properly she helped biden prepare for the conversations and said the old created at a high level if this wasn't enough corruption and cronyism for you adna was also a nonresident senior fellow at the atlantic council which dubs itself a nonpartisan think tank it also provided a slew of stuff for a bomber and his democrats administration james jones susan rice etc the point is that the same time it was a devising joe biden at the same time his son was reportedly raking in millions of
3:05 am
dollars from this ukrainian energy company the firm also began making payments to the atlantic council $100000.00 in donations so under allen is what this company was paying both biden jr her boss's son and the atlantic council for which she worked and now she's at facebook which previously partnered with the atlantic council and are you at all surprised that stories critical of barton are now disappearing while i will intentionally not link to the new york post i want to be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by facebook's 3rd party fact checking partners in the meantime we are reducing its distribution on our platform breaking the news was ad d. stone a career democrat and as is tradition now a facebook spokesperson you couldn't make this up remember what i said about those who proclaim the neutrality loudest well. facebook is and always has

been an open transparent and nonpartisan platform where people can express themselves freely freely are through approval from facebook senses and factious election integrity police and chances are a full of a joe biden stuff or aside from that yes 3. wide and my colleague nic aaron discussed this link between 13 media censorship and the american elections with a few of august. facebook google and twitter previously vowed to prevent election to ferentz through their platforms to what extent do you think they've managed to fulfill that promise i don't really know what twitter or facebook could have done what they have instead done is made a horrifying promise that they can regulate truth that is hard enough to do in a world that is it politics where does information is part of the game i've done you will all aware this big scandal right now is the joe biden son hunter biden the
3:07 am
files from his lap top link to the new york post and twitter and facebook have been actively blocking that story do you think that justified in doing that no of course they're not justified it was an absolutely outrageous act i mean they showed a significant bias in going after the hunter biden disclosures and i've read the hunter biden emails may strike me as perfectly valid perfectly plausible so i believe the story and i think that that that twitter and facebook are are deliberately trying to withhold information from the public in a clear effort to swing the election well we know that in contrast to what happened with uninviting story we didn't think about the christopher seal does which exploded across the world we get so used to get creams utterly discredited and so far on of the oh so relieved to be it's crystal clear that whoever is these are pretty sober events and our previous companies heavily say was as is our mainstream

approaching the frontline town so this is where we had to get out the city of that kept essentially they couldn't take us to the front line and in fact they didn't go either not only because it's too dangerous but because the commanding officer of that particular platoon didn't want us filming there so that we don't give out their positions but the city of marjah take care of it has no rest this is just one of hundreds of craters left all around the city just this tuesday the armenian forces managed to repel a 700 strong attack here now that the command knows how students the resistance is they've cranked up the bombardments by an order of magnitude. live on our driver has to unload his cargo here he knows that there will be no shortage of good samaritans willing to pass it on to those in the trenches when there's a break in the fighting of course meanwhile live on and his friends can do more

3:13 am
for 27 years and all of a sudden you hear the news of liberation when we were forced to leave our village i felt so terrible as i was leaving the grave of my brother behind me i was crying when visiting his grave for the last time as the enemy was approaching. by the time of occupation i had been married for a year and had a young child who left her village with empty hands thanks to the authorities and our soldiers will be back home soon let my internal house with all belongings disappear i just want my land back i need that land. we left our hearts and souls into. memories are tied to the city for these past 27 years i've been thinking of when we would return i lost almost all my colleagues i worked with we were scattered throughout the country i knew the city is liberated i can hardly believe it. first thing i'll do is restore my house i have so many dreams and desires for when i am back it is hard to express it in words i told my kids
3:14 am

3:16 am
because the brazilian government 'd approved to carry on the trial meaning that probably the person has been in the placebo group but again the question is that about the transparency and providing all that information publicly is meant taint a lot because if it doesn't it's really hard to interpret what we really is the actual situation on ground called still had a not for a job and reasons have mysteriously fall in fact into finding the time and theories abound ol correspondent is on the hot and says i'll tell you what about ted koppel's someone who. is you'll media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.
