over the years many years he didn't have many many famous people from around the world his illustrious career but in 2015 the tables were turned parties going underground host afshin rattansi was the one far in the questions m. for a change as part of our channel's 10 year anniversary celebration. over the years i've been blessed to a bit of a great presidents. and there's so many one i've interviewed jackie robinson the model of the caine. but the most emotional interview. was with the new york city cop. this cop. we booked him and i had a didn't know what the story was i just knew that he was on the new york city police force and that he was shot. in an incident in central park and he was in a wheelchair and and paralyzed for life and he had

a little child who he couldn't feel so i was 3 years old and there was a series of. a bike that fs in central park. some people were stealing bikes and he was on patrol driving in a squad car with his fellow patrol. and they spotted this black kid with a brand new schwinn bike. and he got out of a car and was approaching a kid and the kid shot. to shot. he really didn't feel pain he remembered a puff of smoke coming out of this thing human falling down in member the right in the ambulance they gave him a last rites of the catholic church. and he thought he was going to die anyway survived but he paralyzed that down as with his wife was pregnant he wondered why did this boy shoop. and the boy was in jail and when as a minor he was 17. and he was in for attempted murder. i mean i don't know what the

sentence was but anyway he went to visit the kid. and the kid came out in the cell meeting and he said to the kid why did you shoot me. in the kid said. i've been saving for this bike for 4 years i work to do the groceries. in a student. i finally got my bike. and you with the 10 tops to stop me that day. and come to stop me what are you doing with this boy would you have stopped me if i were white. and the cop said he had to think about it and just the fact that he had a think about it. made him understand is

a kid stopped 10 times because he had a new bike. just because he was bored and frustration. and. bam. the top. became the kids big brother. i mean go home until. the kids can because. mom was a. facebook is facing new privacy concerns after revelations that he gave the f.b.i. private messages of those he discussed storming the washington's capitol building the intelligence agency revealed the information as part of its criminal cases than on the journey of the 6 riots one such complaint was filed against new york resident christopher kelley facebook provided the f.b.i. with his log in history revealing that kelly had been near the capitol on the day

of the assault a warrant for his arrest has now been issued recent analysis reveals the vast majority of 'd criminal cases filed by the u.s. justice department uses social media information to online data forms part of more than a 3rd of all convictions the head of the u.s. oversight committee has also asked the f.b.i. to investigate the role of the social media site parlor which is popular with conservatives including some implicated in the capital riots hosts democrats have set their sights firmly on the big 3 social media platforms more broadly our signal to make radical changes you tube to disable auto play and stop recommending conspiratorial content facebook should fundamentally reexamined its recommendation algorithm and twitter needs to prompt users to add their own comments when retreating take knowledge expert roger k. and internet lawyer cohen discuss 2 they thought is responsible for social media content. the social class one of the under pressure anyway the queues are there

there are we're going to get they have not been disciplined properly you know they go out pretty fast and lose with people's information and they're being chased down now by. various federal authorities another thing with you guys that come back into line but also because social media platform to sell struggling for a rule in the future are changing so i think it's a different environment than it was before to. the question is now it's know what at the end it is going to be saints no twitter facebook it's going to be $22.00 doing the fear out i mean they use this previously but always going to deliveries 1st is is censorship going to be derived of government or censorship is going to be the role of say facebook what's interesting is section $238.00 not so far protecting these platforms from being responsible for what's on their sites and there's a kind of the understanding in us lives that if you touch it you own you know if

you carry this packet you're not obliged to know it's inside of you the sooner send something illegal then they're the ones who are in trouble not you the carrier so the carriers will be protected but i think the story in this world now is that it's soon as you touch it you're editing it now you become a publication and you have a whole different sort of lives that you know are so i think the really the platform to be very reluctant to touch their content one because it slows down the velocity of their content enough that they live on and the other is once you touch it you own it and you become responsible for the content that's coming out undersides media companies and website operators are allowed to go to to filter through content allowed to remove conte and to change content in scale not in still receive the protection of section $230.00 i think the question is is a much bigger the question is who is in charge who is god the ability to decide

what content should be disclosed what's called then should be a population what's called been should be published. the question is 1st going to monday morning thanks for watching this program it's coming up to 24 minutes past the hour kevin owen signing off for me in the team here at international have a great. one else seemed wrong. but i'll. just. let me. get to shape out just become active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person of those. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. because so much going on the phone line of smoke i don't like coming to the meeting but the muslim on muslim brought up on bloomfield demos done

a lot of photos of stuff to get a. lot of muslims but ultimately they just either get a little. she will lose or was you make them. more serious for them. then bombard from the sun the mob will split it up but of course that's one of them. i mean they got the word out in the course that doesn't bother me at the. mall. if you. took a. the

obesity epidemic is the most important international health problem. let me though

that. this will and in the meeting. just assume this happening. and made tragedy. earlier my life. i thought that my way it was all my fault. i felt like a failure. and frankly unworthy. and i took me a while to really start questioning beliefs and challenging those thoughts like well are you really a failure and the answer is no i'm not i'm not but it took awhile to get to that point. obesity a blob of our era's fantasies caught in a web of prejudice it prompts scolding for poor choices and accusations of laziness . genes provide an alibi. but what if obesity were

a collective failure not an individual one the symptom of a free market that hates fat that produces fatsos and obesity genic society. it's a global phenomenon not one country has halted it. right now there are 2000000000 people adults and children who are overweight or obese this doesn't happen by magic it takes a book and they're going to look at her and his that is driving the process well otherwise we'll live in societies in which you know one out of every 3 people has diabetes where everybody is obese where people are dying of stroke and heart attack

at age 40 i mean that the choice is an obvious one if we don't do something we will collapse societies not just in america but in mexico and russia and china and europe it's happening everywhere. almost everywhere in the world men and women are battling this fate political leaders physicians regular citizens they brave the multinationals. we truly believe that the industry is wrong and that they're poisoning and targeting people and people need to know about it. wielding the weapons of science and public policy they want to help us regain control of our bodies. in the 1st years of the 21st century.
