rests on personnel. and the stories that shape this week come paying to boycott facebook has launched in a strange trip blogs it's news feed and the country the tech giant made the move over 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 biggest problem with facebook is but they're utterly wrong but mary i think this whole social media i guess ecosystem has really spun out of control in terms of how it is monetize. zooms are left millions without power on water basel parties in the southern united states struggle to cope with print place to store. and to black lives not to activists are arrested for

a top tier conservative journalists 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 be experiencing in my lifetime. welcome to the week here on our national a look back at the stories that grabbed headlines well. let's start off with how a campaign to boycott facebook and the strain of this week on softer the tech giant blocked its news feed in the country over a proposed rule to make social networks pay publishes for content congress has called it an abuse of power simon right 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 separate restricting people in australia from viewing news content or desire streaming you know it's better someone with an australian accent explained it this morning if you visit a news science and astronomy aside by the social media platform you'll find there are no posts you can't view washington news articles we know it 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 is a good one that they pay to produce the stuff big tech like facebook benefits for free facebook gave the 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 honestly if you've got a computer just go on through twitter or google instead. 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 a not for time 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 big or they know it governments have little to no power over these companies anymore. treasury gets today's events to confirm for all the strings is the immense market power. of the media digital giants these digital 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 to meet facebook is on another social media platform. or

murdoch just can't deal with google that will see his media outlets get paid for their content that's one australian who's really cornered the market in brainwashing going you know what there is always. bigger and. well in addition to news posts facebook also blocked a number of australian government pages including health departments imagines he services and trade unions the company later said those accounts had inadvertently impacted amnesty international meanwhile wade and claiming facebook's way of on information was consigning in a statement that 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 hate content on the platform. and canada's back to stray here and it spat tata was considering similar legislation to make facebook page news publishes and says it will not be intimidated we 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 this content of which facebook reliance on 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 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 and. so 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 the narrative mis and this goes for almost every issue down the line that's 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 that 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 has now claimed the lives of

$58.00 people and left millions of americans without power sitting clean water for days texas has seen temperatures plunges low was a minus 18 degrees celsius the fust time and more for 3 decades has led to rolling blackouts and extensive damage to homes. this is this is. a very nice ploy to. look at this field and grow oh do you do to wriggle appears to be real here for the birds mind meanwhile texas senator ted cruz has come on to file to he flew to the max congress or city of cancun during the summer he described the decision as a mistake when he retired the very next day but didn't know about the twitter storm

that followed he's not the only official and a local man was forced to step down after his response to residents please for how . no one owes you will 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 any of the service owes you nothing it's pretty bad that texans just can't we're told every other part of the country this wouldn't but been a huge issue in the late weeks in march for the search term is likely. to go to be able to build whatever you got on 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 why don't the struggle to keep power and running some playing to win tell by is a completely. obvious how if i lay the blame squarely on the government.

reports. 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' energy last year have frozen to a standstill every source of power that 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 compromise. 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 live shows how the green new deal would be a deadly deal for the united states of america if the last few days have proven anything it's 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 caleb are seeing new york when i was confined this week that around $5000.00 national guard troops are expected to remain in washington until the middle of next month the decision was reportedly made to end the lingering concerns of finance while his auty america's for on 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 checked pointed 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 can also see to the left of the capitol here in our life 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's 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. to black lives not activists have reportedly been charged with harassment and attempted assault footage of patches to show them attacking a conservative john list who was covering the romney. i go to bed knowing there was something going on that he she rose to the floor with her drug czar who she supports was her brother very truly she's a pushover to the border patrol. that translates. 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 no 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 now very physically threatening to journalists. was covering the romney when demonstrate side dumped by todd's a conservative mccool tough they can be hard hitting hard trying to support a nazi but john those 2 watts independently also claims that now by police ignore the talking was a help i want point to protest even appears to rob him it's not fitting and how states 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 a stogie of unity or peace but it's act the detriment of you know $75.00 plus 1000000 americans who had 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 3 experiencing in my lifetime i don't condone the violence that happened at the capitol and i can condemn them along with other republican conservatives we do. because terrorism and and and destruction and what is going on has no place in america and i do feel that we are seeing more attacks and violence actually from the left onto the right we see censorship that's going on and it's not even. occur. on meanwhile in the u.k. you quarantine much is introduced this week why make travelers think twice before heading that now requires travelers from thought to 3 red list of countries to pay 1750 pounds or on $2400.00 to quarantine for 10 days in specially designated hotels and are tough penalties for anyone who flout the rules fines of

up to $10000.00 pounds for people failing to quarantine and a marksman prison sentence of 10 music is for those who lie about where they've come from. and would stash the reports from outside one of the facilities. foreign travelers and brits returning home from $33.00 red list 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 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've got a big 2000 on a par our order i don't know i don't know yet but this couple has not alone many flights being canceled and departure dates changed due to complications of the cave in 1000 pandemic and it's not just the financial burden that's weighing heavily other rivals tell me the party policy is no safer than isolating

a home. buyer. i mean i like. being in the streets. again. i think 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 corridor measures on any international arrivals regardless of which country they arrive from even in exceptional circumstances we were to. us we know almost in. its went. moments all seen. 'd just automatically once the 16th and that's. what you would be

if. your community of you were if you were going to england or if you were willing to. well. it's just. you know you know. just like you know feeling like captives thousands of arrivals have to wait before getting home to their families are to be ever more anxiety it's all very interesting times. ok love. the raging pandemic has pushed it to me as most vulnerable to the brink when someone facing a day to die learn more of whether to feed themselves or take care of their medical needs in 2020 of a number of people on the breadline group 517-3000 while just under a 3rd of italians are now at risk of poverty according to the organization for economic cooperation and development we asked people how they're coping. on civil

trial picture of the cause and on the my situation has worsened due to the pandemic i'm a small cross man who worked in fairs and since everything is now closed due to the curb it 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 each entry to myself i choose the former you don't know what you have to pay for 1st between the house bills and medicines you don't really know what to prioritise them so i decided not to treat myself. with the onus 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 a different code very much 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. while the new italian government is facing growing calls to change its strategy for dealing with the pandemic meeting health experts insist the current system of regional restrictions

is ineffective the government scientific committee this week ministers to follow other european countries have implemented stricter measures here's what local pharmacist told us about the situation. if you're interested. 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 it's 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 glamor it's quite high in the year before the pandemic were open 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 matt 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 to for children to we are missing many things and we're also struggling with. the 1st batch of russia sputnik the coronavirus vaccine has arrived in gaza is there have been stopping the shipment from getting to medical facilities but ultimately relented the initial 2000 shots are intended for people in poor health magical personnel watching in intensive care units and emergency services the following is a translated report from arabic. after coming under international criticism israel has allowed the shipment of the 1st batch of the russian vaccine sputnik v into the gaza strip through the qur'an border crossing and almost. day that those badge of the russian black sea has arrived it will be a great help for all citizens certainly all of us will take the shot hope other badges all 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 about the program will get underway on sunday morning in 2 senses in order to cover all the provinces of girls 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 in. receipt of other batches something facts 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 for 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 or for 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. thoughtful from the team at h.q. here i must go thank you for watching and. the

good news or anything in the last 4 years it was the fact you know we had this transformational president with really grand aspirations that were broadly supported by the american people in the most populous present in the country's recent history and were matched by the appointments that were made in the administration i think maybe with his background in business he might have underestimated the importance of personality but having worked in the white house in the executive branch of government so much rests on personnel

. imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century what are the chapters called gun violence school shootings. first it was my job it was my fear of dealing with my savings i have nothing i have nothing that is not like i don't trust aloof or resources i look for jobs i look for everything i can to make this pass. in the aisle of doing this. the road to the american dream paved with did refuse it's this barrier idealized image as. americans look hostile the deaths that happen every single day this is a modern history of the u.s.a. america.

we're more politicized than ever or more polarized than ever the 21st century when speed is measured in megabytes per 2nd intellect also listed on the record is in your local shelters and of course it's in him electronic mail electronic money electronic media infinite possibilities for x. . changing information i mean. why freedom of speech and social media bans censorship of double standards who should judge what can be said online. the internet audience now totals almost 4500000000 for most all of them are active social network users put one wrong move on their pages deleted digital. not who runs the show on the web how can anyone stand up to the tech giants if the

heads of state face the threat of being banned is there any limits to hold that virtual power. revolution will way. it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't healed. and this. is. all. in the past at us as mean older than they seem to you know thousands 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.

it. seems he said we're going to but it's interesting going to be 60 feet deep. into the crease. the door just was me it would mean. the. glow of the missile. could be like you know they've got only here on the most well one day it's over here and we've got going from i think i want to get my game were called and so yes i mark. moon will be snow 30 smooth in the courtroom but for ian martin to move through the middle one seat you've got to go when i was being me.
