3:01 am
and this is a very good morning for russia. news h.q. here in moscow kevin i like to do with you the 6 of may for the headlines for the next 30 minutes in a bit more detail this 1st donald trump won't be posting on instagram or facebook any time soon it's because their oversight boards have held the ban it imposed on the ex-president after the capitol hill riots in january a move that reignited the debate about free speech online as kind of mopin 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 whether 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 gennaro the 6th so we leave it to thieves books
3:02 am
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 sit downs on general of the 6 and extending 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 and at that point mark zuckerberg said that donald trump would remain off facebook to ensure a peaceful transition of power however 2 weeks later donald trump was out of the
3:03 am
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 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 be a pool. bryce must never again be allowed to destroy and dust some 8 electoral processes now donald trump at this point has set up his own web site in order to communicate with his supporters he 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 what i believe is that in a democracy it's really important that people can see for themselves what politicians are saying 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 new site created an account. it was reposed messages despite the account insisting it wasn't actually from himself to eating it was quickly suspended after a hushed twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey to remove it started trending former trump campaign advisor current ya know and america's on contact host chris hedges shared their views on the danger is digital monopolies pose to free speech. they have created these digital monopolies which should be broken up if they can do it to a 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
3:05 am
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't 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 board or representative of the of the company itself to make this decision says silence americans or elected officials and not only becomes. a question of
3:06 am
free speech we have a corporation an american corporation that is arguably more important and more powerful than elected representatives. keeping a close eye on this one today the u.k. is unleashing the might of its royal navy as a post with france over fishing rights intensifies its deployed a patrol vessel now to the waters off jersey after paris threatened to leave that island without power it says french fishing boats were allegedly denied licenses to troll close by the waters between france and jersey have been shared fishing territory for hundreds of years the island belongs to the u.k. but jersey on the other islands rely on france for some of their immunities the u.k. . divorce those up with the status quo last couple of days has got really heated.
3:07 am
explains with paris and london heads over fishing rights in british waters the noise out a french minister has now threatened to plunge the u.k. ireland jersey into darkness unless french trawlers continue to have access. to government provides free tell you terry measures and these measures of retaliation we are ready to use europe france has means there inscribed in the agreement in so far as jersey's considered remind you for example of 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 here not to go and see as well so that. you know hospitals etc would be left without electricity
3:08 am
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 it 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 is they have given a number of authorizations but even more so they have put in place conditions for
3:09 am
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 created all of a sudden without saying anything without warning anyone and without going through the whole channels with this ng measures suddenly everyone discovers the drop on except a bull fishing conditions economic wound bearable for 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 island's fishermen think that they are the ones that get. the rough end of the deal you know the e.u. purports to stand by the. 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 so it should
3:10 am
be prevented from landing nic. just strange. it's almost all these are the preach that we stand by but it doesn't really matter so much. 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 crum or to france region have been given access leading to a blockade in the port of blowing 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 easy. as the realities of brigs it sinking jews the islanders and french fishermen alike it seems have been left trawling for answers jollity been ski assy paris.

in we've long cut it is that it's not one system that's affected it's its various systems they need to stay hot specially the aspirin and charlotte if you need to. you know you need to do is a lung specialist in all these different people and the problem you have is no wonder you don't get everything you can all go in but pull it from people and it's like you want them to join up the door so they're not an achievement it will fit. major nato military exercises of kicked off in albania defend the europe is no new 11 but this year's drills are supposed to be the largest in decades our senior correspondent road goes d. of says the reasons for it i'm not too hard to guess either. nato immediately after calming down and russia with the propaganda equivalent of fry and brimstone for
3:15 am
daring to stage a snap military exercise has followed suit with the biggest need to war games the continent has 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 allen and we and we haven't 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 don't really 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.
3:16 am
the scoop of the sexes these last 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 need to war games get bigger and bigger more hardware more countries more american troops
3:17 am
somehow defending themselves closer and closer to russia's borders drills are getting bigger too and we know how irritable nato gets when someone outs there's hold large military exercises there all who are concerned about a massive military buildup on. russia must end this misery build up. perth appropriations to deescalate the level of hysteria that followed the crimean military exercises was deafening it was everywhere and on everything how bare russia do this in the general vicinity of nato countries and not for a moment since all before has nato even considered our other countries feel when american troops are practicing invasion scenarios kilometers from their borders.
3:18 am
nor does the international live from moscow this is to morning it's coming up to 18 minutes past 24 to watch the clock and i'm going to stick around new poll finds that around the world the biggest perceived threat to democracy is the woman supposed to be killed in america we'll tell you more and after this break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is on all sides here in dramatic development only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the world is driven
3:19 am
by shaped by thinkers there is. no day or thinks. we dare to ask. me again israel's president sauced opposition leader e.-l. appeared to form a new coalition government after promised it but he netanyahu missed
3:20 am
a midnight deadline to for one it's led to rampant speculation now that it could maybe be the end of the political road for the pm paul asli is got the latest this morning. the israeli president rivlin has tasked the leader of the opposition and the leader of the haitian acted party 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 ante natal 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
3:21 am
be a dangerous left wing government a lethal combination of incompetence and irresponsibility has approached enough to be bennett who is the leader of the young women at the right tarty now he currently has 7 mandates and pete has offered to make him prime minister in a rotation if he comes on board with him been interested he will but already one of those 7 mandates has 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 and appeared as a pains to point out that he represents the cross spectrum of israelis after 2 years of political paralysis israeli society is hurts and our unity government is a compromise or a last resort it's a goal that's what we need we need a government that will reflect the fact that we don't hate one another if that
3:22 am
period is not able to form a majority coalition the mandate to form the next government will be in return to the israeli president and we've learned and. he even 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 1st 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 named the world's biggest threat to democracy despite being talented is of course the supposed beacon of it a poll conducted by the alliance of democracies foundation placed it above china russia the organization was founded by anders fogh rasmussen the former nato secretary general so more than 50000 people from 53 countries took part in this
3:23 am
survey apparently 44 percent of respondents agreed that washington's influence was a threat china came 2nd russia came 3rd all the same the u.s. secretary of state along with his british counterpart on monday singled out beijing and moscow as malign influences 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 john a 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 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
3:24 am
author gerald horne told us public support for washington's power places on the wane though 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 ruled out a state 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
3:25 am
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. european commission says it plans to tighten foreign investment rules in the block with a particular on rooting out on fake 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 this is the same without seeing the markets we want every company that operates in europe no matter where it comes from to respect our house rules and one of the oldest rules that we have is that we don't allow subsidies which homes fair competition. the

president of the of his commission pointed out to you that the proposed measure is to ensure a level playing field within the bloc that's been prompted by a recent surge of foreign takeovers of the companies and fears of a further buying spree of share prices a drop showing the pond demick the commission also intends probing takeovers with $250000000.00 euro or more now and wants to examine deals that involve foreign subsidies however well this is going to be agreed by the member states and companies are expected to push back against it hard and lobby against it itself comes as a massive investment dana suspended over human rights concerns in china a political analyst we spoke to told us the isn't targeting beijing specifically he had put this that may lead to restricted access to the chinese market the proposal is not directed at china explicitly it does convey consider going cases for trade with china but there are other concerns at work as well for example from when he

was in office and the katyn and inclination towards a new nationalization of certain industries was related to a g. and chips for example and the trend we see now is toward the type of national industrial policy in the us under by 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 the can shall be there's also a problem of double standards both in direct and direct european subsidies were european companies have been substantial pre-code but also during the kobe 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. but we're pretty sure to cover the world news headlines now really quickly before a go colombia has clashes this left 20 people dead and 800 injured the violence started when demonstrators rallied against proposed government tax reforms. and
