the headlines this thursday facebook's power was questioned again amid accusations of censorship and stifling free speech that after its oversight board upholds the ban on donald trump also to come to terms friday in the waters off jersey with britain sending its navy is a dispute over fishing rights with france boils over and nato starts its largest military exercises in decades right on russia's doorstep the lines describing its training in albania as transparent and defensive. hello welcome good to have you company to sell you watching international where it's just gone 2 o'clock here in the russian capital i don't trump will not be

posting on instagram or facebook any time soon oversight board has upheld the ban it imposed on the ex president after the capitol hill riots in january a move to shriek night in the debate about free speech is kind of market expects 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 what other that ban should be prominent how exactly that should continue many look at this is almost a good cop bad cop routine here is what we heard from the oversight board. the bullets for the 2 posed by mr trump one general with the 6th seal really violate the fees 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 indifferent a suspension now the facebook oversight board which has been referred to widely as the supreme court of facebook was 'd created at the decision of mark zuckerberg the chief of facebook however he does not control it though it's funded by the facebook where peroration 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 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 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 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 well trump's new web site that you heard about there also created an account on twitter where it was messages despite you can't they were insisting it wasn't trump that was tweeting it was quickly suspended after a campaign online urging twitter to block it from a trump campaign advisor cut in deal no and gave her views on this along with r.t. america host chris hedges. 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're the c.e.o. of the company or a board were representative of of the company itself to meet 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. now the u.k.

sent in its royal navy as a post breaks it spat with france over fishing rights intensifies is deployed to gun boats to the waters off jersey off to paris threaten to leave the island with that power as well because french fishermen claim that they've been denied licenses to fish in the area where the waters between france and jersey have been shed fishing territory for hundreds of years the island belongs to the u.k. but does rely on france for some of its i mean italy's you case to force from the scope of the status quo and in the last couple of days it's got really hated and shouted to bin ski explains. with paris london heads over fishing rights in british waters the noises are out of french minister has now threatened to plunge the u.k. island of 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 they're inscribed in the agreement and so far as jersey's concerned al 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 we'll get there if we must with france supplying almost all of the island's electricity this is a see you us warning the electricity for our travels through want to go and see as well so that. you know hospitals etc would be 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 and

so 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 official in claim that they are having problems obtaining licenses. we discovered that he had given a number of authorizations but even more so they have been. 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 channels with this ng measures suddenly everyone discovers the drop on except both

us and conditions economic well bearable french norman and breton fish in company to complicate matters while jersey is a u.k. crown dependency it's responsible for its own waters and the islands fishermen think that they are the ones getting the rough end of the deal you know that he forced to stand by the principles of regulated controlled fishing and protection of indigenous fishermen and you know we've had a massive fleet of really big fishing you know waters at the same time that their boats have been prevented from landing their catch back into you it just seems. it's almost all these are the principles that we stand by but it doesn't really matter so much to us 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 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 jews these routes is. as the realities of brigs it juicy islanders and french fishermen alike it seems have been left trawling for answers jollity bilski r.t. paris. 9 months of aching bones stomach pains and headaches have left a mother terrified for her son's welfare a new born is just one parent currently signed sounding the alarm about the british government's approach to long. everything back.

to. normal kids getting the. sure they're looking and i know well and that may have. the issue maybe not such a degree of my son's got or some other kids i mean there's a lot worse than my son the government got to do your job and you get one virus and that we need and or children this effect centers that we can take our children as the or and the diagnosis that they need. and the support that they need if it can be mentally and emotionally and that is what we need here in the u.k. long code does involve a range of symptoms and complications that still occur several months after infection among them are as we heard fatigue headaches difficulty thinking coughs

skin rashes and also insomnia now each patient has their own set of problems and for the moment it's unclear how long it lasts one according to the office for national statistics over a 1000000 people in the u.k. did report long coded symptoms in march with many experiencing at least one for 12 weeks but the percentage of children is comparatively low compared to other age groups heidi born again says though that the main problem is that no one seems to know what to do. he was really ill up until october and now he has. you know i got back since january and if they have more good days and bad we have equal attack president he just had an attack we can't. with the week with my sons attacks you always think they have a while there. but. you know it this time he looked him up paula and. he gets headache. on there and.

but then it could be another time it might be late and he also had to prevent this harness wow going through a wave of different from him and he why but now he's 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 do and the coping you have in we've known coverage is that it's not one system that affects it it's various systems they need to your heart specialist you need. a fast phone and from there 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 it will keep for and it's like you

want them to join up the door but they're not and it changed me that. and other news today major nato military exercises have kicked off an albanian defender europe is an annual event but this year is true as are supposed to be the largest in decades our senior correspondent not against the says the reasons for it are not hard to guess. nato immediately after calming down and russia with the propaganda equivalent of far and brimstone for 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 and it's a defensive exercise which is you know

a lie straight and in your face they don't need 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 with. the scoop that 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 russian drills are getting bigger too and we know how irritable nato gets when someone outs dez hold large military exercises there are all who are concerned about a massive military buildup. russia must end this misery build up

stop earth provocations 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 need to even consider it our other countries feel when american troops are practicing invasion scenarios kilometers from their borders. for ghastly of their plans to come over the next few minutes including a new poll around the world does find the biggest perceived threat to democracy is $11.00 that's supposed to be its beacon america look at the highway and why just after the break.

the world is driven by dreamers shaped by the person with those words. the dares thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going from station let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

and. welcome back the russian foreign minister has his time to the policy of sanctions against moscow and his armenian counterpart were fielding questions from journalists after talks between the pair for me he was adama sent this report. well this is the 1st leg of sergey lavrov 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 have on today and according to both ministers russia's and armenia's the procedure of settling the dispute over nagorno-karabakh is perhaps ever so slowly but it is moving forward

right right now russia is trying to help facilitate such a basic necessities in the golan a cow back as people's access to will a christie stable access to electricity water food and just the embry turning to their homes and other matters on the agenda here is a well helping armenia to deal with the cold with 19 pandemic just recently russia shipped to thousands of doses of its sputnik the vaccine against covert 19 and right now they are discussing a shipment of a 1000000 doses and perhaps even moving the production and having armenia produce manufacture russia's sputnik vive also i asked circular about how he would describe the state of relations between russia and the e.u. right now because moscow and 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. positive relationship with russia brussels believes that they can do whatever they want with 0 repercussions. now america has been named the world's biggest threat to democracy despite being touted as it's supposed to be can a poll conducted by the alliance of democracies foundation price it above china and russia the organization was founded by anders fogh rasmussen the former nato secretary general and more than 50000 people from 53 countries took part in the

survey 44 percent of whom agreed washington's influence was a threat china came 2nd i'm russia was 3rd on the list all the same no 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 in iran and elsewhere and china will continue our robust cooperation to address the atrocities and change on 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 story in the north the general tone says though that public support for washington's power plays is 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 rubin understates to be the leading country on planet earth and they see that now meeting their grass 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 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 take up more stories and brief 8 days of clashes in colombia has left 24 people dead and 800 injured the violence started when demonstrators rallied against proposed government tax reforms and yemen has been hit by deadly flooding dozens have died thousands have telling us that is particularly hot as yemen is already in the grip of a humanitarian crisis caused by the society led into thanks. so that brings up a site that should you strap today sadly back again at the top of the next.

the crashing of the depression. or. the dollar. market value. it is like. milton's i would say i'm not american but americans helped out really. the world war 2 cures the depression forest fire stations concern prosperity of course the store.

it wasn't for us the whole world what it what and. historical ever since world war 2 to foment the cold war against russia against communism and. socialists nish bush. the soviet all me i see all costs right we are so used to call the world. i think world war 2 has been distorted incredibly by the anglo-american media and that's because they want to diminish the role of russia. and stalin who actually defeated hitler. he started to question but he saw the need for good in each other than the human one. but on the. missile that.

instead of. the emotion lining t.m. must go out you will still be stuck or you muscles in your course you need music but a function is just. if you go chill the. it will settle into. submission and that. means sinking minds be. soldier to kiss off the boot she's way. you challenged me so i got to keep opposing on your good that you're going on that you're still in the summers in the u.s. forest service for the. greening

and salutations blowback from president obama the rise of white nationalism wolk of white supremacy i didn't the politics and populism all culminated in donald trump's 2016 presidential victory that moment fed into a widening polarization and weighty attacks on minority groups a blitz against the l g b t community group across republican led states today $33.00 states have introduced more than $100.00 bills aimed at the trans community the majority of these bills are late as are focused on children and brace yourselves for the discrimination of taxpayer dollars are funding like bills preventing trans kids from using the restroom or locker room that matches their self identification bands all participating in same gender you've sports outlawing gender affirming health care and more. the bills are aggressive and vary by state in florida the house passed
