please post the. headlines this thursday lunchtime from moscow facebook's power is questioned again and made accusations of censorship and stifling free speech as its oversight boards held a ban on donald trump we'll tell you more. big focus on this will make or may not kick off tempers fraying in the waters off jersey with britain sending its navy to that island territory now as france threatens to pull the plug on electricity there and fisherman blockade a local pause plus. nato starts its largest exercises in decades in albania with officials claiming they are transparent and defensive despite them being right on russia's doorstep.

and if you're just joining us a very good day from russia live from our world news headquarters here in moscow kevin i was here with you the 6th of may those headlines and so much more in detail so 1st donald trump won't be posting on instagram or facebook any time soon their oversight board is upheld the ban it imposed on the ex-president after the capitol hill riots in january a move that's reignited the debate about free speech online as caleb 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 ingenue the 6th so we leave it 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 even 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 and at that point mark zuckerberg said that donald trump would remain are faced with 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 a band 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. drys 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 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 knew this so that trumps new site as we heard created an account on twitter or it was reposed messages despite the account insisting it was not actually trump tweeting it was quickly suspended on the list of. twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey to remove it started trending former trump campaign advisor karen jiang know and america's on contact host chris hedges shared their views 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 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 were representative of of the company itself to make these decisions to

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. now next this is a story to keep an eye on today the u.k. is unleashing the might of its royal navy is a post rex it spat with so over fishing rights intensifies it's a ploy to gun boats to the waters off jersey to paris threaten to leave the island without power as french fishing boats have been allegedly denied licenses to troll let me tell you most the waters between france and jersey have been shed fishing territory for hundreds of years the other did sell. belongs to the u.k. but it relies pretty heavily on the islands around it on france for big mean ities electricity being one of the u.k.'s divorce though has put the status quo is really

ramped up in the last few days got really heated shallow do bensky explains with paris london heads over fishing rights in british waters the noise out of french minister has now threatened to plunge the u.k. island 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 concerned i'll remind you for example of the tricity 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. with france supplying almost all of the island's electricity this is a serious warning the electricity for our travels through you not to go and see as well so that. you know hospitals etc would be left without electricity

really really. sort of a trip to make it 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 official in claim that they are having problems obtaining licenses. were discovered that

tourism 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 created all of a sudden without saying anything without warning anyone and without going through thistle channels with this ng measures suddenly everyone discovers the drop on acceptable fishing conditions economic well 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 that he purports to stand by the street circles. 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 the boats are being prevented from landing. back into you it just seems. it's almost all these are the rich 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 from or to france region have been given access leading to a blockade in the port de boulogne 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 brigs it sinking islanders and french fishermen alike it seems have been left

trawling for answers. arty paris. we're going to hear more of these kind of throws i think sadly months of a key bone stomach pains and headaches have left one mother terrified for his son's welfare high the ball is just one parent sounding the alarm about the british government's approach to long overdue the family assure they say the government should be paying greater attention to it. everything back. on the k. 2. i don't want his things. and i'm sure they're looking at that and i know well and that may have. the issue maybe not such a degree of my son's guards or some other kids i mean there's a lot worse than my son the government got 2 children you get one

virus and that we need and or children enters that we can take our children as the war and i know you think that they need in there and the support that they need it can mean mentally and emotionally and that is what we need here in the u.k. long covert involves a range of symptoms of more and more and complications that still happen several months are for infection we're talking fatigue head exhibit called these thinking coughs skin rashes insomnia the list goes on patients got their own particular set . of it at the moment is unclear how long it all goes on for though a bit of a clue according to the office for national statistics over a 1000000 people in the u.k. reported long covert symptoms in march with men experiencing at least one for 12 weeks but percentage of kids interesting leads comparatively low compared to other age groups heidi born-again says the main problem is right now as mentioned

nobody's quite sure how to act. he was really ill up until october and now he has. you know i got bats and since january august they have more good days and bad we have equal attack for example he just had an attack if we can't. with the greek with my son the taxi always does exist they are all there. but. you know it this time has looked him up all or. he gets headache. on there and stomach pains but then it could be another time it might be nice. he also had to pray thank based on this wow there it go through a wave of different and m m's and he why for now he fine can be fine for weight and then it will come back as a mom when you see your son really suffering and there is no way of him getting

better you still help us no dots really know what to the cropping you half are in with long cut it is that its not one system that affects its its various systems you need to your heart specialist you need the aspirin and charlotte if you need to . you know you need to do is see a lung specialist in all these different people and the problem you have he's the one deal with everything you can all go in but full if people and it's like you want them to join up the door for their lot and it changed me completely all that. major nato military exercises of kicked off in albania defend the europe is an unusual event but this year's drills are supposed to be the largest in decades our senior correspondent world goes here says the reasons for are not hard to guess either. nato immediately after calming down and russia with the propaganda

equivalent of 5 and brimstone for their ring to stage a snap military exercise has followed suit with the biggest need to wargames the continent it 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 and it's a defensive exercise which is you know a lie straight and in your face they do many 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 need to

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 knew how irritable nato gets. when someone out there as whole glass military exercises are all who are concerned about a massive military buildup on. russia i must dismiss or build up still person proliferations deescalate the level of hysteria that followed the crimean military exercises was deafening was everywhere and on everything how dare russia do this in the general vicinity of nato countries and not for a moment seen so all before has nato even conceived it our other countries feel when american troops are practicing invasion scenarios kilometers from their

borders. are since national and kevin i we live in 80 minutes past the hour now coming up after a break new poll around the world finds the biggest perceived threat to democracy as well as pictures that give the clue away really the one the supposed to be the bacon of it america we'll look at why coming up. 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 you know 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 through aggression to teach them how to be fixed through aggression. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development the only really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. again so that america's been named the world's biggest threat to democracy despite being touted as it's supposed beacon

a poll conducted by the alliance of democracies foundation placed it above china and russia the organization was founded by and his father rasmussen the former nato secretary general more than 50000 people from 53 countries took part in that survey 44 percent of respondents agreed that washington's influence in their view was a threat 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 malign influences. we're responding to a situation where our values are being challenged the international. and 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 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 and author gerald holden told us public support for washington's power plays is 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 rule united states to be the meeting 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 suggest 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 no knowing and growing realization that the united states would like the flight to china and russia to the last european and i don't think the europeans are sufficiently naive to go for that bad bargain. the russian foreign minister has has had to be you policies of sanctions against moscow he has a meaning kind of fielding questions from journalists often talks between the pair he goes down off reports next them from yerevan. well this is the 1st leg of a circular journey as he said to visit azerbaijan next now mending relations between armenia and azerbaijan countries borderline warring with each other has somewhat dominated the agenda here in europe on tuesday made according to both

ministers russia's and armenia's the process of settling the dispute over nagorno-karabakh is perhaps ever so slowly but it is moving forward right now russia is trying to help facilitate such a basic necessities in the golan a cow back as people's access to will occur city stable access to electricity water food and just the embry turning to their homes and other matters on the agenda here is the world helping on the deal with because of that 90 pound demick just recently russia shipped to thousands of doses of the sputnik the vaccine against the cold with 19 and right now we are discussing the shipment of a 1000000 doses and perhaps even moving the production and having armenia produce manufacture russia's sputnik v. also i asked circular about how he would describe the state of relations between

russia and the e.u. right now because moscow and of brussels they have been engaged in something like a sanctions ping-pong against each other here is how the russian foreign minister described the situation. we won't leave unanswered these attacks against russia parliamentarians are companies which are guilty only of being registered in a country that the e.u. has decided without grounds and illegitimately to label an aggressor the e.u. believes it can do whatever it wants when it starts threatening us with new sanctions another main europe is impunity it's a road to nowhere so effectively while the raw member states within the e.u. who want a much much more. all positive relationship with russia brussels believes that they can do whatever they want with 0 repercussions. the european 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 the usa expect your guests to treat your belongings your furniture. as. you would do just self is the same sense of care because they are at your guests and this is the same with our single 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 harms fair competition so then the president of the european commission pointed to that the proposed merger is a to ensure a level playing field within the block it's been prompted by a recent surge of foreign takeovers all the you companies and fears of a further buying spree of firms who share prices of slump lately because of the pandemic the commission further says it intends probing takeovers worth 250000000

euro or more and also wants to examine deals that involve foreign the subsidies all this is yet to be agreed by member states and companies are expected to push back and lobby hard against it it also comes as a massive investment deal has been suspended over ongoing human rights concerns in china political analysts we spoke to says the e.u. isn't targeting beijing specifically but this may lead to restricted access to the chinese market and to the day. the proposal is not directed at china and explicitly it does convey considerable implications for trade with china but there are other concerns at work as well for example from when he was in office in the katyn and inclination towards the new nationalization of certain industries those 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 by broad bipartisan support from congress that's a problem that surviving 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 your can access to the chinese market. let me briefed on a couple of world news stories said very quickly a day of clashes in colombia have left 20 full of dead and $800.00 engines the violence started when demonstrators money begins proposed government tax reforms really heated there and some say yemen's unease again always for bad reasons this time on top of everything has been hit by deadly flooding dozens have died with thousands left homeless the blow coming particularly hard is not countries already in the grip of a humanitarian crises cole is by the saudi led intervention we've reported on so much of the last company has. i'll leave you with that that's it for now more and
