you know still angry expletives regarded poverty or welfare i don't expect him to respond at all you know he didn't really respond to walker's rushford before all of the campaign to free school near wells my ex. the conservative party and actually the whole of westminster to continue to do what they always did which is turn a blind guy and continue with business as usual only works when they're meanwhile the poor working class people in the carry. their wives are falling apart. ok some account author dr lisa mackenzie thank you very much for your time. this friday marks international migrants day and thousands of undocumented asylum seekers have filled the streets of some 50 cities across france this is the scene in paris organized on the demonstration have so far refused to back down and dispersed with covert 19 restrictions in place in the capital this comes just weeks

after police dismantled a makeshift camp in the city something which triggered a public outcry at the time. we would r.t. we love take your thoughts on our stories they do get in touch by following us on social media leaving all your comments that will be back at the top of the hour. greetings and salyut asian facebook twitter you tube the washington post new york times daily post or common dreams t k d news signal whatsapp all of them my friends we are we are inundated with news communication and information streams pouring into our brains like no other time

before in human history in fact according to a university of california san diego study done all 'd the way back in 2009 they found that on average americans alone consume roughly 34 gigabytes of data each day but remember that was 10 years ago more than 10 years ago and a 1000 new apps new sites and streaming services later and how how has this affected those well many experts of the 2 months nudes is actually bad noone doctor of psychology logan jones told very well my in that quote unfortunately a lot of the news we consume today isn't so much reporting as it is a way of keeping people addicted to the news cycle and that consuming too much of this kind of news whether actively or passively can be very toxic and what you hear has an impact on your mood and while it might be too late for us gen x. ers even millenniums to save all of us you know adults and and all of us from this

barrage of new information there is there still might be time to save the kids or at least help them become better at discerning all of the fact from fiction the trolls from the bots and most importantly how to properly cope and navigate the neverending steady stream of information. enter media literacy a new educational effort to reach student or to teach students how to navigate through and think critically about the information and news that they are being fed on a daily basis however according to media literacy now only 14 states in the united states have media literacy language implemented into their education standards and the difficulties of getting the curriculum into the classrooms isn't the only problem sometimes it's the curriculum itself or rather the corporate approved curriculum no one has hidden board member of the action coalition for media education told fair quote there are

a lot of groups that advocate for media literacy but really what's behind them is corporate dollars trying to get corporate software and corporate products in the classroom to get students familiarized with them. so my friends how do we teach the next generation to be better consumers of news and information in the digital age well let's find out by watching the hawks. on a city street. there so you. see there is this joyce state see a. great city displays systemic dissent says so which. so you'll. welcome we're going to watching arks am tyro visitor and i'm going to chicago and joining us today to discuss media literacy in our classrooms is legal and media analyst lionel of

lynell media and professor sobre brown professor of journalism at belmont university thank you both for coming on today this can be a fun discussion. you're welcome thank you all right before we get into the kind of nitty gritty let's let's i want to ask you both right out do you believe that media literacy needs to be taught in our schools and if so how. how early should students start getting the basics of the information they consume i'll start with you professor. absolutely they need to start as soon as they start asking questions children are sponges they are going to listen to their environment so even before school preschool it's the same idea about you know race topics that are challenging when they start inquiring we need to start asking and answering those questions back to telling them the truth so that they can begin to say ok there's a pattern of information why don't your thoughts. no no no

no this is nothing but censorship this is scaring kids you might have a class called musical literacy sports literacy food literacy no of course not what this is doing is you're telling kids be careful you might come across something that stiff or in something that's not approved something that's scary good i want kids to go out and learn 1st of all how to be students or learn plain old you know math and things like that but i want people to be in c. shabelle and their desire to take it all in what this does is disk errors them be careful you might hear something controversial you may hear something that's dissin from ancient so what that's life enjoy is suck it all up be it be a god bless him for information and you decide teach critical thinking instead. when truth becomes scary weren't true. agone agree with by whose definition by

whose definition. just backs truth solid true if the 1st amendment exists it was ratified december 15th 71 truth back to challenge and try me. if a little bit but you say but i'm sorry but but if truth is scary history scary reality scary true you're right truth is scary i was utilizing you know you are. utilizing your words but children when they become inquisitive we have adults have a responsibility to assure them to educate them to give them the information now to your point why no you can make any decision you want with your information but permission you don't agree with you know why you don't want doesn't make the information an accurate that is your perception of that and exactly. precisely. and dr brown you run a journalism department new will lead it through a lot of different changes specifically those and valving new media and media forms

like social media where almost anybody can claim to be a journalist today do you think that this makes it more difficult to tell fact from fiction also how do you teach the curriculum in modern journalism that helps people to be able to decipher acknowledging the fact that corporate dollars and advertising has changed how stories are even framed. it's a huge huge huge topic but i'll do my best to decipher so fundamentally what we do is give the students options and access so you have sites like coke public you have snopes you know that back check about work you've got the places washington post has a fact checking site so if you have the students go to those sites and best to get information on their own the main thing for all of us is finding confirmation by it's going to certain sites the information that confirms what we've already put you know there are things you grow up and you think i was right about this i was right about this i used to say answer and you get older and you recognise i was

wrong i didn't know what i thought and so in terms of journalism we included in our general education curriculum courses like mass media in society and it's citizenship we want the students to it's work we're not telling them what to think i don't tell my students what i just tell them here's a simple mention you have a choice to make whether you agree or disagree with that information freedom of speech is a freedom to do and say whatever you want to do it ears freedom to express yourself we need to challenge issues but you also have a responsibility in consequence so talk about consequences we talk about where you can verify and computer information but the decisions you make are you. law to let me ask you how do how difficult is it going to be to to teach kids you know what is or isn't. fake news being that that term now is kind of been thrown around by everybody on all sides of the spectrum and everybody kind of uses that as

the catch all of like all that's fake news that says this information anytime and just disagrees with their viewpoint how difficult is that process going to be moving forward. this is been as old as we have been telling stories 1st they must say something right off the bat. absolutely positively i would never ever use snow. political fact as the arbiter of truth in a class or i'm trying to teach critical thinking snopes the 1st thing i would tell students is there are people out there who have cornered the market on truth and they have come up with these things called fact checking services and they will do will be called political fact and whoever gets there 1st sets up the standards so to speak and they become the gold standard i would also tell students

that throughout history some of the greatest developments whether recent science or literature came from somebody who bucked the trend somebody who said i don't think this is true when i went after newton has said i don't think your gravitational idea really makes sense when copernicus and galileo they basically were called fake news i want to inspire revolutionary thinking i want them to go out and try and test now they'll figure this thing out every now and then you're going to learn something wrong but you notice how we're so afraid of learning something that means not be exactly spot on and by whose definition maybe it's exaggerated maybe it's under play but that's the glory of learning it's risky it's a minefield to go out and embrace it what we're doing is we're telling kids be careful watch what you say watch what you think watch what you believe it could be wrong so what you're going to make mistakes your entire life embrace it try to keep

it to a minimum but but be insatiable in your quest and sometimes you're going to make mistakes so what i want to say this is there's a lot of great conversations that i wish that we could go on and on with because i've been to both are originals really interesting and fascinating back and forth and views. on the subject i want to thank you both for coming on and for the work that you're doing out there professor brown and lionel thank you so much for joining us today and really enlightening us on this fascinating subject myself and i think we definitely. tell those. journalists that you know exactly no i couldn't agree with you more thank you so much for both for coming on today. thank you. and apple is facing scrutiny today after may drive home supplier in india is under investigation after a riot broke out inside their factory reportedly caused by workers who are upset about not receiving their promised wages who could blame them the riot caused

millions of dollars worth of damage is an r t correspondent natasha suite has the story. of violence at a factory that manufactures i phones erupts in the color district of southern india sunday police say roughly 100 people have been arrested according to local reports a large group of employees damaged the building destroyed equipment even setting fire to vehicles damages are estimated at $7000000.00 local media saying these workers were protesting as a result of not being paid police condemn the rioting in haiti no one has the power to take law and order in their own hands you know anyone has problems they should approach their department or the labor department it's wrong to become violent like this the police are conducting appropriate inquiries was drawn a taiwanese based supplier is the manufacturer which makes i phones in india the us china trade war helped pave the way for india to become a manufacturing alternative to china for apple and other big tech companies here

is looking grim and major league baseball is finally being forced to confront its very own racism stay tuned for watchable. more simple spiros mean sure you read of those lists nissho to show you just what that also has been. the progress we're doing more it's draw. you will quit. when you wash it it's all profit and you must say you're another right up to quote them but they were all also 'd

forced a dog in your muscles like you to keep the most of them though it still puts you at the top of the sham didn't want all the money. like i'm going to. get out of this. summit with putin that would know more than the buddhists. max keiser want for my guy to financial survival this is as if a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these has fostered simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more to them. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get informed was caused. by the demick no sir you know borders i'm just delighted to nationalities.

you. disagree with me we don't look like seem. to be. judged as coming every crisis with this system to. us we can do better and we should. everyone is contributing each of our own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is for the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together.

college tuition costs continue to go up up and up yet classes remain largely online due to cope with $1000.00 this new normal is causing would be college students to rethink their plans w.b. easy chicago's n.p.r. source chronicled a few of those students one of them brian williams at mit the pandemic has had a toll on his educational journey williams said i'm terrible at online school i know what works for me and doing stuff on the computer doesn't really stimulate me in the same way in actual class would. debt also played a role in william's decision to ultimately put college on hold for now with the backdrop of a pandemic in an economy in crisis going into thousands upon thousands of dollars in debt without any real job security on the other side of it seemed irresponsible

and williams isn't alone in his plight or 0 sum choice according to the national student clearinghouse undergraduate enrollment this fall declined by 3.6 percent from the fall of 2019 that's essentially 560000 students and double the climb of last year most of this affected community colleges 1st time college students represent the largest decline in a moment. and poverty also plays a role for graduates at high poverty high schools there was a 32.6 percent decline for graduates of low poverty schools doug shapiro who leads the research center at the national student clearinghouse said you can almost think of this as an entire generation that will enter adulthood with lower education lower skills less employability ultimately lower productivity. lower enrollment also means revenue drops for colleges with already constrained budgets and without a federal impune of cash and no state money to turn to wishing increases are more

likely around the corner and community colleges bear the brunt of this because there's the they make me underfunded yet do the most in educating us students typically though community colleges which largely serve minority low income and nontraditional students see there in rome and go up in crisis financial times but not in the cold air in the education arena the tug of war is far from over. wow you know this is one of those stories that i you forget about you don't realize because you have so many other things going on and then all sudden you see these when you see those numbers of colleges you know there's not as much a moment next year comes in to make sense because we're going through a financial crisis people are spending their savings they're there and they're looking to what is college offer and when. exactly it becomes a very hard decision and for some people an easier decision to make because they're looking at the fact that right now unemployment they're looking at their parents are unemployed many of the jobs that they would have considered getting over the

summer are no longer available because restaurants and indoor dining a lot of that is shut down in the ones that are still open have very limited hours so those are urged right up and our economy isn't set to be on the uptick now they're projecting out for another 73 years so this is post graduation poor student who would have been entering this year anyway and they're frustrated because a lot of students particularly 1st generation will be college students were looking forward to the general college experience if they're going to be sitting at home anyway that's no different than when they were in high school so they also lose that you know that huge piece of themselves that was excited about going to be on a campus and learning in that way yeah that and that element that on campus learning teaches you about to get along in society how to get along with the new people how to get you know how to do all that you can do that now maybe that will change look we've got the vaccinations we've got these things society might change and of bush. this is going to hit colleges hard and it's funny you told me earlier today that we don't get to see the statistics for like you know kids in their 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th year college it's only for in roman because that's where that's

where the care about the most absolutely that's where the largest lion's share of the cash flow comes from because they're looking at that 1st term 2nd term on down that by 5 and a half years directory because on average the majority of students don't graduate in 4 years anyway in america so they're not really taken into account those who are not returning who maybe in their 3rd year are waiting or in their 2nd year they're looking only at the 1st year student so realistically these numbers of enrollment are actually a lot worse than what the data points we currently have actually showcase and we're also talking about it makes sense too because you're talking about people who look they may have saved up a little money for college or whatever it may be and then you have to spend that you know fighting the cold economy excessively so for parents who would save a little nest egg for their kids to go to college that money is gone because they have to pay for housing they have to keep the lights on they have to make sure they have money for food on top of that same for students because a lot of low income students are actually trying to save themselves and not only help for their college education but also help to sustain their families back home

and right now that money is going directly to the families so that they can all be able to survive this pandemic well. what's in a name a rich history culture but if you're a sports team sometimes what's in your name is just plain old racism. we saw it with the washington redskins n.f.l. team that has since changed their name for the washington football team now it looks like the cleveland indians are following in their footsteps on monday the team announced its decision to drop the racist name but before you go praising them be mindful that the team will keep the name through 2021 and will continue selling merchandise with the logo and historic indian chief names. listen. in other news the negro leagues were officially elevated to the major league level by the in they'll be that's right the priest civil rights era baseball greats who proved that talent was not bound by color lines and what the premise the are just now being recognized of the decision bob kindred president of the negro league baseball

museum in kansas city missouri said in a statement shared by the ill be for historical merit is extraordinarily important . with the backdrop of segregation negro league baseball players showcase extraordinary skill even though they were strictly to major league honors and pay but this week $35.00 hall of famers became major leaguers a gesture that bill delayed slowly chipped away 8 years of discriminatory practice in sports here's a list of more is archie sports producer regina han welcome regina hi guys. well regina there's a lot of frustration in me obviously. because these least kind of stories continue to come up 1st of all the cleveland indians they're now moving away from their controversial names some would. say they were moved their chief wahoo logo back into an 18 after the backlash is this a sign that maybe other baseball teams need to recognize problematic names and mascots and what does this say about the timeframe that the indians are actually

using all the names around for 105 years and you know some devo well but my history it has a history yes of being incredibly racist as do other team names you know you all of the angel the chicago blackhawks for example or the atlanta braves the fellow and all the team could. made no indication they have any interest in going or out of the indians so in this year seen baseball kind of feel like very very small steps forward you're seeing them go for chipping away at the racism at the time was totally perfectly acceptable the 20 percent you're going this is not ok but like you said a change takes time are we supposed to be applauding them for something just now they're realizing is not a good idea and just be will there's a lot of baseball fans who do support this change going why didn't this happen earlier and you know if it is off the heels of the washington football team changing their name and logo that happened almost a year ago. on the tire for now it is one of those kind of strange things were timing is everything you have to ask those questions cleveland hasn't decided on

a new name yet did your cleveland spiders which is more political who are. well they're not really using the chief wahoo logo anymore which is very very rare since logo it older generations they're still selling merchandise with that as a way to supposedly honor their past and the proceeds will be going to native american organizations those old people muscle problems with that isn't there are if it sounds very hypocritical we're going to keep using this very offensive logo to give money to the groups we are offending it if you look at it from the perspective of an l.b. ownership team you're trying to get almost reparations of a type to correct your mistakes of what you've done but you're also going that you could just not use it and give proceeds towards them period there doesn't need to be a hey let's keep this around and i think you're going to see i'm sure see a backlash of people who go well this is my team is my look you have to hurley see

times change baseball has changed over the 100 year plus years it's been around it's time teams evolve with it group may have to meet all the major league baseball point though yesterday we heard that the negro league was going to be officially rolled into and be acknowledged as. of the major leagues 72 years later do you think with a good step forward towards rectifying the past and why did it take so long so it was actually brought up in 196820 years after the integration of african-american base of players into the major leagues jackie robinson 1948 the commissioner then did not want to really do anything about it although during the his civil rights era might have been a good time to do something about it chose not to the topic was dropped so 1 yes while it is good that we're facing recognition there are $3400.00 players coaches that contributed so much as sport satchel paige jackie robinson names that are forever associate with the baseball they got their start in the negro league but

why is it all the sudden now like you know let's acknowledge and you had plenty of time rob manfred you know off the bad p.r. they got in this season maybe decided it was a good time to try to change the perspective but these are men or women who don't need special m.l.v. honoring they have done so much you contribute to the sport and major leaguers or not they deserve every place in the baseball hall of fame the most lovely do they was always thank you so much for coming out and sharing your sports expertise with those this week. all right everybody. all right everybody that is our show for you today remember in this world we are definitely definitely definitely told we are not loved up so i tell you all i love you i am a rover and i'm of the shiprock keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day invite everybody.

universally real. information presence there. that is the reality of this thing we call but you can you can you can change it you can touch it shape sold it 'd. bunch elusive. it's all about a. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids it invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after those and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the government.
