hour news live from moscow. this is your r.t. international pleasure to have your company. my name's unanimity. we begin in france, where 4 teenagers have reportedly been charged in connection with the brutal be heading of a teacher that shocked the country last month. thought to be among them, the daughter of a man behind an online campaign against some party. he was killed after using cartoons of the prophet mohammed to debate, freedom of speech and a lesson charlotta been ski, has more for us from paris. well, 3 of the individuals are said to be 13 and 14 years old and they have been indicted for complicity in a terrorist assassination. and that's because they're said to have been the teenagers who pointed out to samuel patti's murderer, who he was there for allowing that beheading to take place. the 4th teenager who

has also been indicted is said to have been the daughter of the man who is widely regarded as being behind the media frenzy surrounding that lesson when some new party showed controversial cartoons of the muslim prophet that sparked anger in the local community. she has been indicted for slander. now all of 4 individuals have since been released, but they are being monitored by controls. here in france. let's take a reminder of what happened. leading up to the murder of samuel patti. one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compared to it was the victim of an islamist terror attack.

a number of individuals have been hauled in front of the police. some have been charged, some have been let free others have in fact receive sentences and condemned for their part in the surrounding storm regarding that, including one mother who was sentenced for apparently celebrating his death in a facebook post. and a man from algeria who is condemned for glorifying terrorism. again by referring to samuel patty's death. there's also been this huge fallout. president mcewan was clear following the death of senator patty, that france wouldn't roll back from showing controversial images when it comes to talking about freedom of speech that sparked huge protests in some muslim majority, countries needs a mental health treatment, rob god, and the

gods. he is a case and therefore he really needs to have mental checks have that national right were present, my corn has being inferior ated by some english language media saying that they have twisted his words over the last 2 months or so suggesting that he was attacking islam in some way, rather than islam ism, and there's been a huge amount of fake news, too surrounding the new which is to crack down on separatism here in france. but the reality is that many muslims here in france feel that they are being singled out. they are being targeted, not just by this law, but by the forelock force happened since summit, patti's murder, and it's likely that this is an issue that is going to rumble on for some time.

the pandemic is casting a grim shadow over the festive season, including in the u.s., where the daily death rate is now higher than back in may. experts say that hospitals could be overwhelmed by christmas with american celebrating thanksgiving . this thursday president elect joe biden is asking people to limit their celebrations for our families, for 40, 40, some tradition traveling overseas this year. on a whole harder for growth family traditions. but it's so very important for countries in the middle of a dramatic spike, in case it's interesting, the very latest polls show that most people still intend to gather with their loved ones. on thanksgiving though, they figure out the kleins since the same question was asked in september, states across the u.s. been rolling out measures to study me. celebration plans of double quarter

explained. thanksgiving is coming up in the u.s. and that means it's turkey time, although maybe not because 2020 is trying to find yet another way to ruin everybody's lives. there's a run on small turkeys, turkeys that are 10 to 14 pounds are in high demand right now. even if you're one of the few privileged enough to have a smaller turkey on your table this year, don't get too excited. this thanksgiving is supposed to be especially dangerous. with more people staying home for thanksgiving, more americans will be cooking at home for the 1st time. and some of them are stressed and with more amateur cooks hitting the kitchen this year. one firefighter's says it could be a recipe for disaster and case. that's not enough for you to stress about new york's governor. andrew cuomo capped the amount of people you can have to dinner at 10. i don't think you can get away with an extra straggler too. big brother cuomo was watching

while cuomo didn't seem to have any problem sacrificing other people's thanksgiving day when he urged families not to gather for the celebration. he himself invited his mother and 2 daughters home for the holiday. that wasn't long before he withdrew the invitation. but many people still aren't happy about that. cuomo is the worst governor in america. he's arrogance, and he pull chrissy knows no bounds. do as i say, not as i do. pennsylvania's gathering limit isn't as draco nian as new york's but the state's alcohol ban is a trip in itself. bars and restaurants have already been ordered to halt all. 'd booze sales and some people just don't understand the relation. pennsylvania bans, alcohol, oregon legalizes hard drugs, 2020 is wild, penna, and just banned alcohol for one night. only before thanksgiving. what exactly are we combating again and fire us alcoholism?

freedom nights before thanksgiving has historically been the biggest algal consuming night of the year, probably in preparation for the relatives. since you can't have them over this year, you would be getting drunk just for fun. oh, and it probably goes without saying political discussions at the dinner table this year might not be the best idea that a great post-election conversations, the stress of a hectic year and contentious presidential election could still cause dinners to turn tense with all these new rules and restrictions it's likely americans will have little more than their safety to be thankful for this year. football fans around the world are mourning the death of argentinian legend,

diego maradona. he passed away at his home in buenos aires age 60, after suffering a heart attack. you know what clashes with police have erupted in the argentine capital where thousands of people have been gathering to pay their respects to the world cup winner. i was police reportedly used rubber bullets, tear gas against the tippit funds, who were demanding more time to be allocated to say their fur well to the legendary player. famous, of course, for his astonishing ability on the field. maradona was also infamous for his antics and troubles often, but so loved in that country. he will be remembered as one of the all time greats will be missed. indeed, by fans all over the world. i

never thought this day would come. my 1st title is gone, my only idol is the greatest of all the monster football. the one who gave us everything. my manager, when i heard about it and died with him, that's what happened to me.

you know what a life and it wasn't just in the world of sports. do you go? mara donna touched hearts. he was also idolized by people from all spears of society in his native latin america. we spoke to former ecuadorian, president graf field career, who became close with the footballing. great. he described more, a dollar, a rebel fighting against injustice and hypocrisy. this is a loss for the whole world for the entire argentinean nation. it's a catastrophe. you can't even imagine how madonna is adored when he did so much for the country at the 86 world cup in mexico. i wasn't at that world cup,

but i was in italy in the 90s when maradona played for napoli. he was adored, especially in southern italy, so much so that even during the argentina, italy match. many italians supported argentina because of the number 10 because of diego armando. without doubt, he was a leader, a leader that never hid his political leanings, he was in favor of progressive politics. but even if you lean toward the right, it wouldn't matter. because 1st and foremost were his personal qualities, his honesty, his leadership, his habit of seeing what he thought, one way or another. and it was a warrior for social justice. he was a rubble and fought against the injustice and hope ocracy of the world order. he himself was from a poor family, so he knew 1st hand what it was like, living in hardship. and he always saw it as these duty to change something. that's what gave him a close relationship and sympathy from progressive leaders in latin america. like fidel castro, hugo chavez, have a moral its message. and the man you're speaking with right now. the overwhelming

majority of the argentinean people and i know origin very well, not only love but worship diego, armando. there's even a church in his name. and if he was a legend while he was still alive, the now when he has raced past us and left this world, he's playing football up there in the heavens. with those who have also left us, the legend has become a myth. understand there, diego is a mythical character for argentina, and much of the world facebook has made what it calls a temporary emergency change to its algorithm in response to the u.s. presidential election. the social media giant ses, it's trying to eradicate misinformation, but one knock on effect up years to be giving a preference to content that is pro joe biden, a week after the election. some facebook stuff referring to the algorithm. as the nicira news feed reportedly discussed, the possibility of becoming

a permanent feature eaters adult of examines whether nicer means more honest or not . election fraud 2 words, you would never associate with the united states of america. now a phrase that could send fists flying in the country allegations of cheating have also outgrown the issue of a vote recount, as some republicans claim they've been called and elsewhere too on social media. you know, the people that, that i hear from, of course, believe that conservatives were wrongfully being silenced, while those on the left that were given basically a free rein of your platforms. and one of the points of contention that is often brought is that you do recruit, have a leave from california, which leads to your employee base skewing quite heavily to the left. at 1st glance, the allegations that facebook's nonpartisan algorithms have been tweaked to give biden an upper hand don't seem too old after all, biden,

and his team have been rather unflattering towards the platform to say the least. i've never been a big fan of facebook as you probably know. i've never been a big zuckerberg fan, but the latest report suggests that this could all be smoke and mirrors, and that facebook is already buttering up the new white house landlord from promoting content which rubber stamps joe biden's talking points to secretly screwing the traffic for publications by non-mainstream and pro republican outlets, it resulted in a spike in visibility for big mainstream publishers like c.n.n. the new york times and national public radio, while posts from highly engaged hyper partisan pages such as breitbart and occupy democrats became less visible. facebook denies any bias explaining its strives to achieve balance to the best of its ability, but some actions speak louder,

suggesting a mutual affection the supposedly facebook closing joe biden doesn't seem to have a problem hiring from their roster. 'd biden's deputy communications director also seems to have had a change of heart and deleted tweets, giving facebook a dressing down executive roles. he had permission as country to control who sees

what they censor. conservative news, big tech. it's been working towards this for 4 years, and it will be bored to ensure that joe biden wins their party is the democrat party. and so of course, joe biden is going to be stacking his transition team with members of the silicon valley cobol. so of course, you're going to see former c.e.o.'s from facebook from, from other technology companies. they are, these are joe biden's people. big tax is for the democrats and look what we've got coming up now. we've got 4 years of the media, which is going to be happy dogs when i or people know thing to criticize here. we're already gearing up in this country for a return to the swamp, as we call it a return to normalcy. return to a warm armory, a return to big pharma, a return to all these industries that love the democrats that love globalization, and they got their man and with joe biden. previously, facebook has repeatedly found itself in hot water with the u.s.

authorities. it seems this time the giant has finally learned its lesson and is preemptively raising their hand that could very soon be feeding it to say we have a fantastic panel of guests to discuss. facebook's recent algorithm changes. i'm joined by julio rivera who is executive director of reactionary times dot com, re severus in women's rights advocate and political analyst on men. connie aren't a social justice journalist and war activist, and you're all very welcome to the program. can we kick off with you in a free market, private companies can actually showed really be seen to be making their own decisions. as long as what's being done is within the confines of the law. is facebook actually breaking any rules here? no, actually one thing that's very interesting and it happened under the radar was on october 1 of 2020, facebook changed their terms of service. and part of that was in an effort to go

ahead and they were going to deem themselves a publisher no longer under the cd, a to 30 protections that they had enjoyed for years in america. so in a sense they have the ability to do this and it's not necessarily illegal. so they kind of got out in front of the 23230 argument by going ahead and declaring themselves a publisher before making these changes, which allowed for these algorithmic changes that i expected to happen. and i actually predicted this in a facebook post as of october 1st. a lot of things are going to change. and now we find out that it actually did release social media to an incredible degree to they affect how people connect and communicate how they express and share ideas. maybe a giant platform like facebook addressing some of the acrimony and anger out there is, is what america needs right now. absolutely not. i don't believe it is the place of a big tech company to govern what is and is not considered to be 100 percent true.

as a matter of fact, mark zuckerberg said it himself in a speech in georgetown recently that he hasn't. and the, you know, governing person as the creator of this platform wanted it to be about getting people right to get their voice and connection. and unfortunately, it is not the place of the 630 people that he's hired to be factual errors to determine what's absolutely accurate. if you think about this from historical loons, there is howard in the senate, meaning that the actual case that decided freedom of speech was based on the letter that martin luther king wrote from a birmingham jail where he spoke out about the racial issues that african-americans were facing in this country and it went all the way to the supreme court because the police in alabama said it's not right for the new system. what martin luther king is saying, it's not truthful. well that it happened today. facebook would take martin luther king's letter from a birmingham jail down our own facebook say's there's too much negative news. the

name of the show, the language is quite because you don't want to show nice certain used do you believe american society really needs to be like that? essentially saying you don't know your own mind. so silicon valley is here to tell you the right way. the thing well, risa, i want to echo what she said and then i'll just say the problems here that we're trying to discuss today isn't whether or not it's nice or news. we know that facebook's trying to operate in order to make money. they've been making money hand over fist and order and using this click bait mentality, we know that they're suppressing. there may be some suppression of news that should be written up. and we also know that they are taking down people who are saying the holocaust never happened. they know that they have to go after some version of fact checking, but we have to start with facebook should i mean, i'm not using them. their algorithms are manipulating people. that should be called

into question. and we saw mark zuckerberg get up in front of congress last year and be called on the carpet for is he going to regulate this? and if he's not going to regulate this, then the government is going to come in here and start to see that just like they have to oversee whether or not it's ok to post things about sexual predators and perpetrators. who you thought is the thing, isn't it? it's, it's the, it's the volume of conspiracy theories reportedly shared on facebook. facebook, are they not doing the actual conservative right disservice by getting rid of the i try to fake and flamboyant lives? well, you know, that's one part of it, but another thing you have to remember too is there's many instances in which they go ahead and take factual stories down. what was the deal with the new york post?

tory about the hunter by did a lot top. i mean, if you tweeted about that your tweet would be taken down if you posted on facebook, you were posting was some sort of a disclaimer, but this is something that you know, that the biden campaign had never denied. and that, you know, a lot of these documentation and a lot of the conversations were co-operated by people like tony baba linsky. but these social media platforms were taking it down to you that were putting a disclaimer on it. because they alternately want to function as the propaganda arm of the democratic party, the right, you know, these 4 conspiracies and this white supremacy, garbage and all this other stuff has nothing to do with the conservative side of the aisle in the, in the g.o.p. . so ok, or not, that doesn't necessarily do anything to service the republicans. what the issue is is were truthful. stories were being dissed put disclaimers on and then that her throat leading up to the election because he couldn't talk about things like hunter biden excepting foreign payments. and then being repositioned,

basically to or that with joe biden's victory. yet, america has always championed its stance and free speech. do you think that algorithms end up cutting ike media with a different narrative to the mainstream? is not the big issue here. that's part of it on, in the sense that when you have an algorithm that is created by humans beings to determine what's true, what has were asked to be and what doesn't. unfortunately, it doesn't always get it right. and then you have the, it's almost creative with a bit towards silencing things that, you know, we, we may not like. and that's not the basis of when we should be silencing people who want to say that, you know, stream of speech has its limits when it began to infringe on the rights of another person. you can't use your speech to hurt someone. i can say i don't like people of a certain color, but i can't incite violence against those people. and so what we have to know about

facebook is that there are, after all groups calling for a reason. don't mess with terrorism. ok. are white nationalist groups calling for harm to people of color, and we have to be vigilant to make sure that those groups don't have a right to continue in this public. we just ran out of time, but i want to get this point and it's a big what if, let's suppose the trump team actually does manage to prove fraud on the level being spoken about is facebook then done playing a serious issue or even a crime that it really had no right to prejudge aren't wow, thanks for the big whatever. closing facebook is not suppressing the right facebook is a business operation. facebook is going to do to your question, the other, whatever it can do in order. and we've seen this in the new york times story, in order to further its business opportunities. what it would temper government to do is there's going to be some control over what the media is saying. that's

unfortunate. and it's up to people and ordered to educate themselves, which was the initial intent to have this democratization through social media. but it is been corrupted by the super rich. and that's why we see whether or not it's mainstream news looking like they're a propaganda for the, for, for the state run media, just like we would see in china or other places, we have to be half martyr than that. and fight together as a people just not be divided and that's what social media is trying to do to us. ok, we can actually just get the final thoughts of that race on julio. finally, if i can put you within the rap bob has social media research. secondly, turned into and media outlet itself with political leanings or bias. unfortunately, when you have a platform where come up, politicians are allowed to run ads and allowed to use it as

a platform for political speech versus just individuals coming together to collectively share their thoughts to debate. i mean, even during the debates, it's important that we share one flow with each other and when we're not allowed to do that in social media, is no longer serving a purpose. hello. yeah, i disagree with the whole narrative of facebook is only for its business interest, because reactionary times we used to be able to put up and we purchased thousands of dollars in ads in the last 2 years. we haven't been able to purchase anything. none of the ads get approved, this whole switch to being a publisher goals i had it goes against the idea of it being a business model and a free and clear kind of the terrain for people to pull are all different types of information. baseball is taking editorial position, they're going to alienate people and it will hurt their business. or this is not a lot that's just to protect themselves, to hide their political purpose. and this is a very interesting challenge we could have going on for quite some time, but very good to hear your thoughts, julio, refer tauriel,

director for reaction times dot com. reese everson, women's rights advocate, political analyst, and also aren't mentone, aren't a social justice journalist. and war artist, thank you all and that is where we leave the news update for now, but stay close since our documentary, the ones who search begins in moments right after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms. race is scary, dramatic development is only going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk. we're

going to take that as a fuss and let you know when i was supposed to last what he does, but i thought it would be now most of it if on the last night, but i don't want to turn off all this. why is there no get off the on the bill you did enough and then some of that, but a lot of the most of it out in the end, you have a sense of that that unless it is the other. and this could be the 2nd list and we could talk to me over that would mean a c. c. list. i wonder who'll be ducking the rams were going in earnest. you know that it was just this young.
