4:01 am
if you join us for a good morning from russia live from. moscow is kevin i when he was here the 6 of those headlines in the next this 1st donald trump won't be posting on instagram or facebook any time soon the oversight board has upheld the ban it imposed on the ex-president after the capitol hill riots in january it's a move that's reignited the debate about free speech online. and 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 books
4:02 am
for the 2 posed by mr trump on general were the 6th. to thies 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 extending the 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 that i will trump would remain off
4:03 am
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 a political price and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate 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
4:04 am
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 the interims news site created an account on twitter as you heard where it was reposed messages despite the account insisting it wasn't actually trump himself tweeting it was quickly suspended. twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey to remove it started trending former trump campaign advisor karen jono and america's on contact host chris hedges shared their views on it on the dangers 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 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 board or representative of the of the company itself to make these decisions to
4:06 am
silence americans or elected officials and 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. this potential for some of this story next keep an eye on the u.k. is unleashing the might of its royal navy as a post rex it spat with france over fishing rights has intensified quickly it deployed a patrol vessel to the waters off jersey after paris threatened to leave the island without power it says french fishing boats were allegedly denied licenses to troll there now those waters between france and jersey have been shared fishing territory for hundreds a year is the island belongs to the u.k. but it relies quite heavily on france for some of its immunities along with other nearby islands to the u.k. z e u divorce though has scuppered the status quo and in the last couple of days it's
4:07 am
got really heated bensky explains. with paris london heads over fishing rights in british waters the noises are out a french minister has now threatened to plunge the u.k. island of jersey into new york miss unless french trawlers continue to have access. to government provides retaliatory 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 al 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 we'll get there if we must live with france supplying almost all of the islands electricity this is a see you yes warning the electricity for our travels through. as well so that. you know hospitals etc would be left with just
4:08 am
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 under the briggs 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
4:09 am
that jersey had given a number of authorizations but even more so they have. 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 . they have been created all of a sudden without saying anything without warning and one and without going through thistle channels with this ng measures suddenly everyone discovers the drop on except a bull fishing conditions economic wound bearable french norman and breton fishing company 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 getting the rough end of the deal you know that he reports to the streets. regulated controlled fishing. protection of indigenous fishermen and you know we had a mass usually
4:10 am
a really big fishing you know waters at the same time the boat should be prevented from landing there catch back and just change. it's almost all these are the principles 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 chrome or to france region have been given access leading to a blockade in the port to born knowing 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 juice he's waters. as the realities of bragg's it's sinking island isn't french fishermen alike it seems have been left

4:15 am
propaganda equivalent of fat and brimstone for daring to stage a snap military exercise has followed suit with the biggest need to wargames the continent had 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 haven't so that's a big difference right there and it's a defensive exercise which is you know a lie straight and in your 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.
4:16 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 witness the things he's every year these need
4:17 am
to war games get bigger and bigger more hardware more countries more american troops somehow defending themselves closer and closer to russia's borders russian drills are getting bigger too and we knew how irritable nato gets. when someone else days hold large military exercises there are all who are concerned about the massive military buildup. almost this military buildup still person proliferations deescalate the level of hysteria that followed the crimean military exercises was deafening it was everywhere and on everything how dare russia do this in the general vicinity of nato countries and not for a moment seen saul before his need to even conceive that our other countries feel when american troops are practicing invasion scenarios kilometers from their
4:18 am
borders. to have a seat in one of the things you take of the time of the check in with us today happy days going good 18 past the hour coming up a new poll finds that around the world the biggest perceived threat to democracy is the one that's supposed to be a beacon america will look at it more closely with my back. began of the 1920 s. yeah the crash of the depression and white fuel the speculative bull market lost in the 1920 s. why is that for margin people to buy stocks for chance sounds on the dollar and this ballooned up to unsustainable levels and it crashed and we had a depression so how was the debt you already mentioned that this 200 percent debt
4:19 am
to g.d.p. debt to stock market valuation 26 percent right so that's one indication of how much debt it's way past where i was 19 point. the world is driven by a dream shaped by thinkers there is. no day or thinks. we dare to ask. only again israel's president aust opposition leader yeah lip paid to form
4:20 am
a new coalition government after prime minister benjamin netanyahu missed a midnight deadline to form one it's led to rampant speculation that this could be the end of the political road for the pm auntie's pulis lee is called the latest. these really president rivlin has tasked the leader of the opposition and the leader of the haitian active party period with forming the next government he has stated that he faces many challenges but he is confident that rapid can do this the problem is that you put it 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 in 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
4:21 am
be a dangerous left wing government a lethal combination of incompetence and irresponsibility pitt has approached enough to be bennett is the leader of the young men of the right tarty now he currently has 7 mandates and a people has offered to make him prime minister in a rotation and if he comes on board with him been interested he will but already one of those 7 mandates has to lift and it is expected that another 2 whirls 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 these raids 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 that's what we need we need
4:22 am
a government that will reflect the fact that we don't hate one another if the period is not able to form a majority coalition the mandate to form an experiment will then return to the israeli president we've had we've learned. he even goes back to these weighty 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 named the world's biggest threat to democracy despite being touted as its supposed beacon of course a poll and conducted by the alliance of democracies foundation plaisted of china russia the organization was founded by and as for grass missin the former nato secretary general so seems more than 50000 people from 53 countries took part in
4:23 am
said survey 44 percent of respondents agreed that washington's influence was a threat in their view to china came in 2nd russia came in 3rd all the same the us secretary of state along with his british counterpart on monday singled out beijing and moscow as one line 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 in sion 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
4:24 am
in holding russia to account for its reckless and aggressive actions. historian and author gerald holmes told us public support for washington's power players on the wane in his view 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 rubin understates 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 is also opposition to russia because russia will not go along with this new cold war against china i think that poll results are 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
4:25 am
in particular there is a 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. been some talk of which in other news the european commission says it plans to tighten foreign investment rules in the block with a particular routing item for a 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 just self with 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 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. well the president of the european commission pointed out that the proposed measures are to ensure a level playing field within the blog has been prompted by a recent surge of foreign takeovers of e.u. companies and says a further buying spree affirms his share price is a drop in the pandemic the commission intends them probing takeovers with $250000000.00 euro or more and also want to examine deals that involve foreign subsidies however all this is yet to be agreed by member states and companies are expected to push really hard against it too and also comes as a massive investment deal suspended over human rights concerns in china this concerns ongoing political expert we spoke to told us the e.u. isn't totally beijing specifically but this may lead to restricted access to the chinese market the proposal is not directed at china explicitly it does convey consider the implications for trade with china but there are other
4:27 am
concerns at work as well for example trump when he was in office and the katyn inclination towards a new nationalization of certain industries was related to a g n chips for example and the trend we see now is toward the type of national industrial policy in the 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 seeing 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 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 your can access to the chinese market. $27.00 house the brief news stories for a go 8 days of clashes in colombia have left 20 people dead and $800.00 injured the violence started with demonstrators rallied against proposed government tax reforms
