thursday morning moscow time in the headlines facebook's power is questioned again that. of censorship and stifling free speech as its oversight board of holds a ban on donald trump. tempers fray in the waters off jersey with britain sending its navy to the island territory now as france threatens to pull the plug on electricity there and fishermen blockade a local poll. plus nato starts its largest exercises in decades in albania with officials claiming they are transparent and divisive despite being right on russia's doorstep.

and good morning from russia live from artie's world news h.q. moscow kevin owen here with you this 6 of may this thursday morning those headlines in more detail than is just mentioned donald trump won't be posting on instagram or facebook any time soon their oversight boards upheld a ban it imposed on the ex-president after the capitol riots in january a move that reignited the debate about free speech online this kind of maupin explains. now the facebook oversight board said that they give facebook 6 months as a corporation to determine an appropriate penalty for donald trump while they are currently upholding the ban they are passing on to the corporation other that ban should be permanent how exactly that should continue many look at this is almost a good cop bad cop routine here's what we heard from the oversight board the boards for the 2 posed by mr trump on general with the 6th so we leave it to thieves books

community standards and the instagram's community guidelines given the seriousness of the violations and the ongoing risk of violence facebook was justified in suspending mr trump's accounts on general the 6th and extended that suspension on generally the 7th however it was not appropriate for facebook to impose an indefinite suspension now the facebook oversight board which has been referred to widely as the supreme court of facebook was created at the decision of mark zuckerberg the chief of facebook however he does not control it though it's funded by the facebook corporation its decisions are said to be independent of what the private corporation wants now the ban on donald trump was imposed after the january 6th capital riots at that point mark zuckerberg said donald trump would remain off facebook to ensure a peaceful transition of power however 2 weeks later donald trump was out of the white house joe biden had taken the oath of office donald trump remained off

facebook and that has been the case for 4 months for 4 months donald trump has not been on facebook major social media outlets have banned him donald trump reacted to today's decision by the facebook oversight board calling it a disgrace and here's what we heard from trump what facebook twitter and google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment so the country these corrupt social media companies must pay political. rice must never again be allowed to destroy and does some 8 electoral processes now donald trump at this point has set up his own web site in order to communicate with his supporters will be posting and updating his own website just as he once did with twitter and facebook now the case raises lots of big questions about this facebook oversight board and how its decisions are reached and it should be noted that back in 2019 mark zuckerberg said that it really shouldn't be private corporations that are censoring politicians in what i

believe is that in a democracy it's really important that people can see for themselves what politicians are saying it's that they can make their own judgments and you know i don't think that a private company should be censoring politicians or news so than trump's news site created an account on twitter were it was reposed the messages despite the current insisting it wasn't actually. it was quickly suspended after. c.e.o. jack dorsey to remove it started trending well metron campaign advisor kara gill no and america's on contact host chris hedges shared their views about the dangers digital monopolies pose to free speech these days. they have created these digital monopolies which should be broken up if they can do it to head of state like trump they can do it to a head of state like merkel or somebody else that they don't like what they really want to shut down or any critics on the right or the left of neo liberalism of

corporate capitalism of the crimes of imperialism and. we just it's not a world that we want to enter because it essentially snuffs out the free flow of information we must remember they know everything about us we know nothing about them and it sets a very dangerous precedent now it's a whole new paradigm and one that i find very terrified i think this should actually terrify every single american any single citizen in the free world because we're looking at. a private corporation who is operating as a platform and one day and a publisher the next day they can have have it both ways but apparently they are right now these individuals. whether they are the c.e.o. of the company or a boord were representative of of the company itself to make these decisions to silence americans or elected officials and not only becomes. a question of

free speech we have a corporation an american corporation that is arguably more important and more powerful than elected representatives. keeping a close this nexus morning the u.k. is unleashing the might of its royal navy as opposed rex a spot with france over fishing rights intensifies its deployed a patrol vessel out to the waters off jersey to paris threaten to leave the island without power this is from a french fishing boats were allegedly denied licenses to troll around the waters of those waters between france and jersey have been shared fishing territory for hundreds of years the island belongs to the u.k. but they rely on france for some of their remain a t's the u.k. z u divorce those were the scope of the status quo the last few days i shall do bensky explains. heads fishing in british water is the noise out of french minister has no threat to plunge the u.k.

jersey in to talk unless french trawlers continue to have access. to government provides free tell you term measures and these measures of retaliation we are ready to use europe france has means they're inscribed in the agreement and so far as jersey's concerned i'll remind you for example electricity transportation by undersea cable so we have the means and even if i regret that we could get to this point it will get there if we must. with france supplying almost all of the island's electricity this is a serious warning the electricity from france travels through you not to go see as well so that. you know hospitals etc would be left with just a really really. sort of threat to my it's a very draconian. measure and it's not the only threat coming

from france the u.k. is expecting a number of authorizations from us on financial services we will not give any until we have guarantees that's one fisheries and other issues the u.k. respects its commitments its give and take each side should respect its commitments otherwise we will be as brutal and difficult as necessary until the brig's that deal french vessels have the right to continue fishing in british waters if they had done so before the u.k. left the e.u. what's causing problems now is the required proof to show that french a fisherman claim that they are having problems obtaining licenses. were discovered that they had given a number of authorizations but even more so they have put in place conditions for the right of fishing conditions that limit us to today's conditions that limit the

number of days we can fish in the year limitations and fishing gear for the fishing zones they have been great at all of the sudden without saying anything without warning anyone and without going through official channels with this ng measures suddenly everyone discovers the drop on except a bull fishing conditions economic well bearable for the french norman and breton fishing companies to complicate matters while jersey is a u.k. crown dependency it's responsible for its own waters and the islands fisherman think that they are the ones that get. during the rough end of the deal you know the e.u. purports to stand by the principles of regulated controlled fishing and protection of indigenous fishermen and yet we have had a massive fleet of really big fishing you know waters at the same time that have boats have been prevented from landing their catch back in to get it just strange.

it's almost all these are the preach that we stand by but it doesn't really matter so much to a little i would like to see tensions have been rising for some time now with claims that only 22 from 120 boats that were from or to france region have been given access leading to a blockade in the port of blowing so mad the u.k. denies these claims saying the licenses have been issued to all 87 french vessels that have applied for them and met the criteria well more than 40 boats have been specifically authorized to fish in jews' ease waters. as the realities of bragg's it sinking island isn't french fishermen alike it seems have been left trawling for answers challenged people ski r.t. paris. talk to looking for months of a key bones stomach pains and headaches have left one terrified mother really

worried about her son's welfare high the ball is just one parent sounding the alarm about the british government's approach now it's a long cold with the family is sure it should be doing much more imposing a greater attention everything. to. oh mark his acting. and i'm sure they're looking at that and i know wow and that may have. been issues maybe not such a degree of my son's guard. or some other kids i mean there's a lot what the my son the government got to. do you get sick from this virus and that we need and or children and tears and we can take our children to get this that or and that diagnosis in

a neat and there and the support they need if it can mentally and emotionally and that is what we need here in the u.k. as time goes by we're more and more about long covert it involves a range of symptoms and complications that still occur several months of infection with organ fatigue head igs difficulties thinking coughs skin rashes insomnia the list goes on each patient has their own set them for the moment so unclear how long it's all likely to last with various people and according to the office for national statistics over a 1000000 in the u.k. reported long coded symptoms in march with men experiencing at least one for 12 weeks but the percentage of kids interesting is comparatively low compared to other age groups are they born again says the main problem in her view is that no one knows quite still it. as a mom when you see your son really flattering and there is no way of him getting

back you still help us no dots really know what's the problem you have in grief non-coverage it is that it's not one system that's affected it's it's various systems you need to your heart's. in a classroom and charlotte if you need to. you know you need to be a lung machine if all the different people and the new hire means no one you know if everything you can all go in back if people and it's like you want them to join up the dots but they're not an achievement it all. major nato military exercises of kicked off in albania defend the europe is no new event but this year israel's opposed the largest in decades our senior correspondent road goes to give says the reasons for it not hard to guess nato immediately after calming down and russia with the propaganda equivalent of fire

and brimstone for their ring to stage a snap military exercise has followed suit with the biggest nato war games the continent that seen in 3 decades but it's different they say you just don't understand. i'm going to continually talk about what we're doing it's called transparency it's a wonderful thing and we're not getting that at a mosque alan and we and we have it so that's a big difference right there is the defensive exercise which is you know a lie straight and in you'll face they'd only takes a cursory look at the brochure or a visit to a u.s. embassy website for all the talk of russian aggression that isn't russian paratroopers practicing offensive operations in mexico along the border with texas it's american paratroopers dropping deep into simulated enemy territory and alice drive from russia's very real border has.

the scoop of the sexes he's lost they were announced well ahead across 16 nations near enough 30000 nato troops thousands of vehicles ships and jets will pound away at targets and dummies to send a message usually you don't say to who it's understood but again ukrainian officials to the rescue ukraine by the way also taking part in these war games with the purpose of the exercises from the baltic to the black sea is to train and let us speak plainly for war with russia. the thing is every year these nato

war games get bigger and bigger more hardware more countries more american troops somehow defending themselves closer and closer to russia's borders drills are getting bigger too and we know how irritable nato gets when someone else days hold large military exercises there are all who are concerned about a massive military buildup on. russia almost and this military buildup still person proliferations. escalates the level of hysteria that followed the crimean military exercises was deafening and was everywhere and on everything how bare russia do this in the general vicinity of nato countries and not for a moment seen so all before his need to even concede our other countries feel when american troops are practicing invasion scenarios kilometers from their borders.

by far she's world to say cutest take half an hour in here if you have to watch the clock and go out it's exactly 17 past the hour this is ahead a new poll finds that around the world biggest perceived threat to democracy is in fact the world is supposed to be a beacon america will look at why after this short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race in this hearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

so what males have tended to do and still do is we tend to we certainly have empathy in all of that but we also tend to do nurture through aggression so we create things like soccer and football and you know all of the various hundreds of games that involve aggression now women are aggressive and can play those games no doubt very well but when you go back to why they were created those were created for males to nurture other males to aggression to teach them how to be fixed through aggression. good morning israel's president asked opposition leader paid to form a new coalition government after prime minister benjamin netanyahu missed

a midnight deadline to form one it's led to run put speculation now that this may be the end of the political road for the pay off he's pulled asli is called the latest. the israeli president rivlin has tasked the leader of the opposition and the leader of the aisha to party yet let period with forming the next government he has stated that he faces many challenges but he is confident that can do this the problem is that liquid attracts a whole cross spectrum of political parties with many differences between them but the one thing that unites them is the fact that they are all anti the time yahoo however the current polls suggest that people get only 56 out of what he needs 61 mandates to form that majority coalition government the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had 28 days to form a government and was unsuccessful in doing so i mean the truth is simple this will be a dangerous left wing government

a lethal combination of incompetence and irresponsibility has approached enough to be bennett is the leader of the young the right party now he currently has 7 mandates and the people has offered to make him prime minister in a rotation if he comes on board with him then interested he will but already one of those 7 mandates has to lift and it is expected that another 2 worlds so this is certainly something that the israelis are following closely been it has said that he calls on all right wing parties to support period and appeared as a pains to point out that he represents the cross spectrum obvious rabies after 2 years of political paralysis israeli society is heard saying a unity government isn't a compromise or a last resort it's a goal it's what we need we need a government that will reflect the fact that we don't hate one another if that

period is not able to form a majority coalition the mandate to form an experiment will then return to the israeli president rooted we've learned and. he then goes back to the israeli parliament they don't have 2 choices after they can call for another general parliamentary election this will be the fact that this country is holding in just 2 years what it can hold an election for the prime minister now if indeed an election is held amongst the public for the prime minister poll suggests that netanyahu will win so it's a little bit too soon to write this one yahoo out of the history books. america's been in the world's biggest threat to democracy despite being of course touted as its supposed beacon a poll conducted by the alliance of democracies foundation plaisted of china russia the organization was founded by anders fogh rasmussen the former nato secretary general more than 50000 people in 53 countries took part in the survey 44 percent

of respondents agreed that washington's influence was a threat they thought china came 2nd to russia came 3rd all the same the u.s. secretary of state along with his british counterpart on monday singled out beijing moscow as malign influence is responding to a situation where our values are being challenged the international architecture is at least in some respects being weakened together our 2 countries recently took measures to prevent british and american businesses from inadvertently supporting forced labor actions wrong and elsewhere and china will continue our robust cooperation to address the atrocities and. crackdown on pro-democracy activists and politicians in hong kong which breaches china's international commitments and the repression of media freedom across china and in other parts of the world i also want to thank the united kingdom for joining us in holding russia to account for its reckless and aggressive actions historian author gerald hong told us public

support for washington's power places on the wane including in europe. people across the globe are not naive and they come to the simple conclusion that the united states is the bully on the block obviously they're seeking to launch a new cold war not only against china but against china and russia combined it's part of the psychological makeup of those who rule on a stage to be the leading country on planet earth and they see that now eluding their grasp and so they want to take down china by any means necessary and there's also opposition to russia because russia will not go along with this new cold war against china i think that poll results of just that it will be difficult to launch that new cold war because international public opinion is not only hostile to the idea but i think in europe in particular there is or knowing and growing

realization that the united states would like to fight china and russia to the last european and i don't think the europeans are sufficiently naive to go for that bad bargain. i mean tom the of the commission says it plans to tighten foreign investment rules in the block with a particular rooting out unfair competition from china when you open your home to guests then of course i think you as i expect your guests to treat your belongings your furniture. as as as you would do to self is the same sense of care because they are at your guests and it's the same without seeing the markets we want every company that operates in europe you know mass and weight comes from to respect our house rules. and one of the oldest rules that we have is that we don't allow subsidies which harms that competition. the president of the european commission pointed out that the proposed measures are to ensure

a level playing field when the block is being prompted by a recent surge of foreign takeovers of the u. companies and fears further to a further buying of share prices have dropped because of the pandemic the commission intends probing takeovers with 250000000000 euro or more and also wants to examine deals that involve foreign subsidies however all this is yet to be agreed by the e.u. member states and companies are expected to really lobby hard against it it also comes as a massive investment deal suspended over human rights concerns in china the political analyst we spoke to told us the e.u. isn't targeting beijing specifically that this step may lead to restricted access to the chinese market. the proposal is not directed at china explicitly it does convey consider going to occasions for trade you are trying to but there are other concerns at work as well for example trump when he was in office and the katyn and inclination towards a new national day should start in the streets those related to ai 5 g.

and chips for example and the trend we see now is toward the type of national industrial policy give us under buy with broad bipartisan support from congress that's a problem that's arriving sooner rather than later and this proposal that we're saying would not only deal with china but also that potentiality there's also a problem of double standards both in direct and direct european subsidies where european companies have been substantial pre-code but also during the public crisis what this means for overall trade is unclear but each of these factors risk undermining trade relations broadly and may end up restricting european access to the chinese market. and then the prefilled to the queen will do so as for a go 8 days of clashes in colombia have left 20 people dead and $800.00 injured the violence started with demonstrators money begins proposed government tax reforms. yemen a place often in trouble now hit by deadly flooding dozens have died this thousands

left homeless the blow is particularly hard as yemen's own ready in the grip of a humanitarian crisis caused by the saudi led into the engine. a lot said so far this morning 30 minutes from a check it out tito comment of a social 0 calls down the rock if you want any breaking news as it might happen throughout the day straight to your mobile device could deceive us for now though for me kevin owen in the tape signing off another great thing is.
