in the stories that shake the sweet day campaign to boycott facebook has launched in a straight blog since news feed to the country the tech giant made the move for a proposed rule to make social networks pay for news content we debate the issue. should facebook profit on someone else's work without giving them some of what this problem with facebook is but there are other really controlling the narrative i think this will social media i guess the ecosystem is really spun out of control in terms of how it is monetize. dozens are left millions without power. as authorities in the southern united states struggle to cope with crippling winter storm. and to black lives much activists are arrested for a time when

a conservative john let's who is covering the rally we hear from the reporter i feel that being conservative media is now very physically threatening to journalists america is descending into something that you know i would never have imagined to the experience of my life and. bring you all the big stories and much more around the cold this is our national life must. be with us. while let's jump in with a story a campaign to a boy called facebook launched in the strain of this week it's off to the tech giant broke to its news feed in the country over a proposal to make social networks pay publishes for content congress has called it an abuse of power song and roy brings us his take. australia's government is fully coming to terms with the fact that facebook has told it where to go and there's

nothing you can do about it might use what happened social media giant facebook has followed through on a script restricting people in australia from viewing news content or desire streaming you know it's better to someone with an australian accent explain that so this morning if you visit a news science and astronomy side by the social media platform you'll find there are no posts you can't view washington news articles. winner is australia could just be there wasn't any news that day so the australian government wants facebook to pay for content which is shared on its platform but made by other media organizations those media organizations make the point and it's a good one that they pay to produce the stuff but big tech like facebook benefits for free facebook gave a completely b.s. response that making it pay for that stuff would be penalizing him for taking content that it didn't take or ask for which is a bit like finding a bag of cash on the floor and then saying well officer i didn't ask for it or take

it from the bank so i thought i'd keep it finished in a carry on yeah so about that carry on on the other hand media companies do start their own pages and upload their own content of their own accord and as mark zuckerberg says every time his company is accused of ruining life on this planet it's a private company so that's what i believe but the future is private. this whole news blackout thing i'm absolutely i mean who cares almost leave you've got a computer just go on through twitter or google instead. or anti doggone. news australia ministers are angry because they say facebook is among other things restricting access to health information during a pandemic. to which i say don't get your health information from facebook what's wrong with you it's an advertiser not dr quinn. medicine woman. australia's prime minister seems so close to grasping the reality of what's

happened here scott morrison said that facebook. thinks they're bigger than governments and that the rules should not apply to them i promise that they don't think they're bigger they know governments have little to no power over these companies anymore. treasury gets today's events to confirm for all strings is the market. of the media digital giants these did you giants. very very large. in our economy. and on the digital landscape well let's not get carried away here i mean it's only facebook and the only people that use facebook now is your mom and her friends but the bigger issue is what happens when big tech decides to get together and define governments i mean even the protest about this stand to meet facebook is on another social media platform. or. doctors can do with google that

will see his media outlets get paid for their content one australian he's really cool and the market brainwashing going you know what there is always. bigger and. well in addition to news posts facebook also blocked a number of key a strain in government pages including health departments emergency services and trade unions the company later said those accounts have been in it for impacted amnesty international meanwhile way to claiming facebook's move on information was consigning in a statement it said facebook's willingness to block credible news sources stands in sharp distinction to the company's poor track record in addressing the spread of hateful content on the platform. and canada is back to stranger and it spat auto is considering similar legislation to make facebook page news publishes and says it will not be intimidated by her daughter who put the whole issue up for debate

although i don't like facebook by any means i also don't blame them for trying to put a stop to what i think is a very bad policy that in the end well only end up hurting smaller independent and perhaps even dissident sources in favor of a larger more establishment media sources these news organizations are disappearing that's really what's at stake and they really don't have any choice because they're not generating the kind of revenues necessary to run these news. content of which facebook reliance on it we have seen a whole cloth disruption of paid you know professional journalists guys that spent 30 years cutting their teeth and there are a lot of jobs because who's going to pay him 80 grand plus benefits to write a story when you can get to me on his you know no unfair if i know real credentials in journalism typing out something and make more money on those clicks so the question is for democracy is what is the threshold where people deserve to

have real information and should they have to pay for it should facebook profit on someone else's work without giving them some look you can understand facebook's desire not to give in and start paying for news stories like google did once the box opens there's $200.00 other countries surely saying we want some to facebook but you do to their shareholders right if we start saying all right facebook will have to pay to feature news articles and news links what's stopping other forms of content from doing the same this whole social media i guess ecosystem has really spun out of control in terms of how it is monetize and actually a i think more equitable if i can use that word solution to this would be to start talking about ways to break up the monopoly that facebook does have on advertising . also on user data basically the biggest problem with facebook is that they're utterly controlling the narrative and they're clearly shutting out news that doesn't obey that narrative and this and this goes for almost every issue down the

line that of the importance today let's remember back in around 2007 i happen to be one of those lucky ones who interviewed this guy who started facebook he was a nobody was still on my space my space everywhere and he said that he wanted to create an ecosystem similar to a a well at the time if we all remembered dial up you know well it closed circuit environment where all your dating your shopping your opinions and basically people who weren't able to have real friends in life could have thousands of friends make believe friends and call them their friends and you would never have to leave that world and it would do everything for you well that dream has come true and now all of us are sitting in the middle of it going well wait a minute it's either all capitalism where anything goes and we can all charge for everything or it's part capitalism or it's something but we're at that time of growth now where we actually have to make the grown up decisions. that we went to storm sweeping across the southern united states have now claimed the lives of

$58.00 people left millions of americans without power taking on clean water for days texas has seen temperatures plunge as low as minus 18 degrees celsius for the past time and more than 3 decades it's led to rolling blackouts an extensive damage to homes this is this is it. thank. you. so very they split it. and that is the other imbra oh then again you through the 2 to rig of a pandemic right here for birds and. me. well texas son said ted cruz has come on to file for the he pointed to the mexican resort city of cancun jurong the disaster he described the decision as a mistake when he would tongue the very next day about didn't about the twit to

storm that followed he's not the only official in hope we'll let a local man was full steps out of to his response to residents pleas for help no one owes you or your family anything nor is it the local government's responsibility to support you trying times like this sink or swim it's your choice the city and county along with power provide is all any of the service owes you nothing it's pretty bad that texans just came here who are told every other part of the country this would have been a huge issue in the league we've seen mark for destruction so it's likely. to fold when the water got all the blankets out we try to all sleep together to keep us warm and then today when we got up there was no water we have no real update of when it's going to come on our phones barely work. while authorities in texas struggled to power up and running some blamed when top winds that completely froze

for the disaster others however lay the blame squarely on one government and it won't happen. without electricity texas residents are resorting to some rather desperate measures in the hopes of staying warm they're firing up the grill and the generators and some of the even tried to use their cars to heat their homes resulting in several deaths and over 300 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning people are dying from carbon monoxide poisoning we have had so many calls in so many incidents that we can't even track them all the major oil refineries of the state has shut down due to freezing weather that bright new future of green energy isn't working out so well in the present the wind turbines that accounted for almost a quarter of texas is energy last year have frozen to a standstill every source of power the state of texas has has been compromised whether it be renewable power such as wind or solar but also as i mentioned today.

access to coal generated power access to gas generator power also have been compromised alternative energy sources have been a key aspect of the democrats' push for ecofriendly policies a key plank of our build back better recovery plan is building a modern resilient climate infrastructure and clean energy future that will create millions of good paid union jobs critics are blaming joe biden and the democrats saying that they pushed climate friendly policies a bit too hard and branding the outcome catastrophic shows how the green new deal would be a deadly deal for the united states of america in the last few days if proven and the thing that we need oil and gas relying solely on renewable energy would be catastrophic many of these sources have proven to be unreliable the united states may be a global superpower but at home it's a lacking power quite literally all of this critics say are symptoms of america in

decline. aren't seeing new york. well it was confirmed this week that around $5000.00 national guard troops are expected to remain in washington on till the middle of next month the decision was reportedly made for lingering concerns of violence his r.t. america's front from stock with more. one of the places that i actually lived in was a news anchor was an el paso texas where you had fort bliss that is the 2nd largest army post in the country when we pulled up to the gates here this morning it looks like i was walking into fort bliss there is a there's a whole street that's blocked off here that goes right into a checkpoint you'll see that these cars they go in they get checkpoint by police by national guard and you see this is all happening literally just you know maybe 2 football fields away from our u.s. capitol you could also see to the left of the capitol here in our life that we have almost like these little trailers that have been put on we have

a lot of these members where they're actually staying there was 26000 troops here during the inauguration the numbers starting to go down but they want to have 5000 troops here scheduled again like you said till march 4th because you have a lot of cuban members talking underground and in sub read it in you know you have a lot of these different you know social media other outlets and they're going to talking about possibly coming back again on march 4th believing that trump will be reinstated as the president again the fence looks like it goes down for miles now it goes all the way to the reflection pool in front of the capitol you know this is the people's house kids come here on their snow days to slide down the hill and now it's completely occupied by the national guard here i want you to look at the fencing right now normally you have barbed wire fencing you have barbed wire fencing outside of federal prisons this is razor wire this will kill you if you try to breach this fence here ok that fence that goes all the way around the perimeter of the capital $50000000.00 now again there's talks of having the national guard stay here until the early fall it's it's going to cost american taxpayers

$2650000.00 per day to have $5000.00 troops here. a lot of black lives not to have been arrested after attacking a conservative john in a sort of demonstration we spoke exclusively to the victim and her reaction on much more in just a moment off the break. world is driven by a dream shaped by from person. who dares thinks. we fear to ask.

this is really the beginning of the changing of the guard you know we're now handing the baton off to china as the number one economy in the 21st century the numbers are there the statistics are there the relationships in your here you are there the relationship with russia and iran is there you know there and there is a ship all over africa is also there. while 2 black lives of us have reportedly been charged with harassment and attempted assault footage of pesticides attacking

a conservative jon lester was covering the rally. i did it badly there was something going on that these people rose to the current drug czar who are these reports the pleasure of going to bed early she's a pushover you regarding the trauma of her that's right. i think as you can see with what had happened to me it is very trying times initially when i saw they were harassing other journalists there and videographers and i went to stand with them as well and they they wanted everybody to be turning off their cameras with our 1st amendment rights which is freedom to the press and also being a public space i kept my camera on and i said now this is public space and i'm reporting the news so my camera will stay on and that's when they started attacking initially or being media and then the 2nd time they came around to attack me when they identified which media i was i feel that being conservative media is is just because now very physically threatening to journalists. toronto was covering the

rally when demonstrators identified as a conservative reporter they can be heard quoting. a nazi john less 2 walks independently also claims nearby police ignore the how i want point to protest even appears to rob a usenet and how face now in order for true peace to occur you need to have people to have that civil discourse it's not it's not true peace when the other side is voices are shut off and so is it may give up the saga of unity or its act the detriment of you know $75000000.00 americans who have voted and do support donald trump at the expense of basically shutting their voices out so that is not true unity when you're taking out your opponent it's not a fair fight america is descending into something that you know i would never have imagined to be experiencing in my lifetime i don't condone the violence that

happened at the capitol i condemn them along with others the public in the conservatives because because terrorism and and and destruction and what is going on that has no place in america and i do feel that we are seeing more attacks and violence actually occurring from the left onto the right we see censorship that's going on and it's not even. occurred. to me why in the u.k. a new quarantine much is introduced this week might make travelers think twice before. england now requires travelers from $5.00 to $3.00 read list of countries to pay $1750.00 pounds also round $2400.00 to quarantine for 10 days in specially designated hotels are tough penalties for anyone who flouts the rules fines of up to $10000.00 pounds for those failing to quarantine and a maximum prison sentence of 10 years for people who lie about what they've come from to add woodstock reports from outside one of the facilities. foreign travelers

and brits returning home from $33.00 reckless countries are now forced to isolate and government mandated hotels in the u.k. for 10 days it's all part of measures to curb the spread of the new coronavirus variants but not only are rivals like elaine and wagner are confined to the 4 walls of a small hotel room they've also got a thought they have to build themselves because. they want to know what we're going to be 2000 on about our block i don't know i don't know yet but this couple what a loan many flights being canceled and departure dates change due to complications of the cave at 19 pandemic and it's not just the financial burden that's weighing heavily other rivals tell me the current policy is no safer than isolating a home. buyer. i mean i like. being in the future.

again. i want one. currently the government has almost 5000 rooms available across 16 airport hotels with another 58000 on standby but as has been throughout the entire pandemic scotland has gone one step further by enforcing hotel currently measures on any international arrivals regardless of which country they arrive from even in exceptional circumstances we were. almost in so it's when scotland. managed. chancel 'd automatically once the 16th and that's. what you would be if. you can already have. what you were going to england or if you were willing to.

well. it's just so. you know you go oh it just you know feeling like captives thousands of arrivals have to wait before getting home to their families are to ever more anxiety it's already testing times . are to you k. . the raging pandemic has pushed its knees most vulnerable to the brink with some facing a day need to learn more of whether to feed themselves or take care of their medical needs in 2020 the number of people on the breadline crew by a $173000.00 just under a 3rd of a ton ians are now a risk of poverty so according to the organization for economic cooperation and development we asked people how they're coping. my situation has worsened due to the pandemic i'm a small craftsmen who work in fairs and since everything is now closed due to the i

don't know how to go on i have to pay for some medicines but without anyone's help i often can't afford them between eating in treating myself i choose the former you don't know what you have to pay for 1st between paying the house bills and medicines you don't really know what to prioritize and so i decided not to treat myself. unless of finding it difficult to purchase drugs but always cost a lot i can't buy medicines the price of which is increasing more and more we're now talking about different covert variants they're saying there could be a new look down so we don't have a better future to look forward so there is no hope. the new italian government is facing growing calls to change its strategy for dealing with the pandemic leading health experts insist the current system of regional restrictions is ineffective the government scientific committee this week ministers to follow all the european countries in implementing stricter measures well here's what local pharmacist told

us about the situation. if you insist on the above this year has definitely been a strange one the global pandemic has brought a number of sectors to their knees and among these is certainly the poorest people who are having the greatest difficulties finding drugs and buying and many people can't even afford to buy drugs at a reduced price donating medicines brings a smile to the faces of people who can be treated the crisis is devastating and there are people who even have to make a choice between eating and treating themselves. and then the lamb or it's quite high in the year before the pandemic were opened 3 days a week but now due to comit we have to open 5 days a week people don't work and can't even pay for meds since we collect medicines and then we give them to people who can't afford them people can't pay for them so we do what we want. we distribute food for children too we are missing many things and we're also struggling with. well the fusspot show of russia sputnik the coronavirus

vaccine has survived in gaza israel had been stopping the shipments from getting to medical facilities that up but ultimately relented the initial 2000 shots are intended for people in poor health medical personnel watching in intensive care units as well as the emergency services the following is a report translated from arabic. after coming under international criticism israel has allowed the shipment of the 1st batch of the russian fax in sputnik v into the gaza strip through the qur'an border crossing and almost. day the 1st batch of the russian black sea has iran it will be great help for all citizens certainly all of us will take the shot we hope other badges will arrive in gaza as well otherwise the street will simply crack under the pressure of the condemned. according to the health ministry the 2000 doses which have been shipped are intended for individuals in poor health and medical personnel dealing with

coronavirus infected patients in intensive care units and emergency services staff but a lot of the programme will get underway on sunday morning into centers in order to cover all the provinces of girls up the vaccination campaign will go on until we run out of jobs the health ministry affirms that the russian vaccine is one of the best and most effective among international analogs the russian vaccine will help cope with the consequences of the pandemic affecting medical facilities due to a lack of capacity. to see further batches something vaccine in the near future which will allow us to inoculate the whole population express our deepest gratitude to russia to its president governments and people what they did to the palestine. the shipment comes after israel prohibited vaccine supplies to medical facilities in gaza the reversal of the ban opens up the prospect for future shipments of the facts into gaza yes to put more. people in gaza call israel's decision to hamper

the delivery of sputnik vivax into gaza blackmail and that's amid thousands of sick people including children who need to be vaccinated urgently. for myself and the team for now ron paul 2 dot com is the place for you if you are on any of those stories and have a great day. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. period dramatic. only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk. it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't healed. me from a girl to you are. all. of us at just as mean older and they seem to you know cells of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption i don't know.

to this day mothers still search for grown children. for their birth parents. whatever. water we go to the streets where i would they are so make them feel that their fellow human beings the people in their communities cared for them go. to them you know fredo god or. anybody else like. you know start same water. that's the start

point the building the trust the connection that they have lost the many people that. we know i'm really feeling your kids here. and you really have very little or no like. how you know like i don't think you know and i think you know you only want. if you look flashy sitting in front of you we're 2 blocks from dog family. and this is where we are pretty much in the slums a block and a. half in line. absolutely it's my way through things and i'm like everybody.
