the war has to take breakthroughs to epidemics because our journalists and audience ally dear to question more. hello there i'm military you're watching in a question broadcasting from our to america's national news headquarters in washington d.c. here's tonight's top stories 1st a new global poll reveals who the world believes is the biggest threat to democracy you may surprise you will discuss it plus there's an international black market for human trafficking trafficking happening right under our fingertips on instagram we'll discuss that and finally the biggest awards night for international sports who are this year's winners that's straight ahead all right it's time to boost your news i q.

all right so which country is the biggest threat to democracy well according to a new poll commissioned by the alliance of democracies foundation it's neither china or russia so who could it possibly be artie's alex myla bitch has that answer . the land of the free. form of the brave was the world's biggest threat to democracy america is on the move again we're choosing hope over fair shoot over lies light over darkness however working for work again we're dreaming again we're discovering again our needed a world again i'd you're proving democracy can deliver for the people and it's that delivering of democracy that scares a lot of people around the globe in

a poll known as the democracy perception index which is commissioned by the alliance of democracies foundation and was conducted by the la 10 a polling company between february and april 50000 people in 53 countries were asked which country threatens democracy in their country nearly half of the respondents who took the survey named the u.s. as the greatest threat while fear of chinese influence came in at 38 percent and russian at 28 percent it's not surprising that the countries which showed as overwhelmingly negative about u.s. influence include russia and china and there may be a reason for that american leadership must meet this new moment inventing authoritarianism including a growing ambitions of china to rival the united states in the determination of russia however european democracies also stood out as overwhelmingly negative about u.s. influence with german sentiment being particularly high globally 81 percent of people

polled said that it is important to have democracy in their country but just over a half 53 percent said that their country is actually democratic today even in democracies so who actually believes that they live in a democracy those polled in denmark switzerland and or way are most confident that their country. our democratic and what may be a surprise to many sore people in china where 71 percent say that their country has the right amount of democracy and as for what is perceived as the biggest threat to democracy economic inequality was the number one choice at 64 percent at 48 percent just under half of the people in the survey also cited big tech as a threat with americans being most concerned about that issue at 62 percent the chair of the alliance of democracies foundation former nato chief and danish prime minister anders fogh rasmussen said this poll shows that democracy is still alive

in people's hearts and minds we now need to come out of the covert 1000 pandemic by delivering more democracy and freedom to people who want to see their countries become more democratic resolution might have missed an important point in the survey and that is that the participants made it quite clear that they don't want to mark receive delivered to them but instead would rather see more equality in the world to make things more democratic the democracy perception index survey has been conducted since 2018 by lights and the alliance of democracies it is the world's largest annual study on how people perceive democracy for r t i'm alex my love each and for more on this will bring in our panel to discuss former u.k. m.p. george galloway and new york times bestselling author president of the phyllis schlafly evil for him and martin hellman good to see you again 1st i think 3 countries 53000 participants when asked about

a number of issues threatening democracy i think agree or disagree the biggest agree was on economic inequality most people surveyed agreed about that but when asked what country threatens democracy the most between the u.s. china and russia the respondents agreed the u.s. was the bigger threat so why. do you say to that george. the scottish national poet robert burns said the greatest gift the god could give us is to see ourselves as others see us and that i think will have come as a big shock to some people in the united states how others see you you see when joe biden's up there are somewhat hesitantly because of his advancing whatever is telling us america's on the move again the rest of us are hiding under terrible manila the idea of america's on the move again and coming our way is not something

that we look forward to look the united states has invaded and occupied some 60 countries since the 2nd world war or about their own governments and presidents even killed some. you have taken over from us that's what we used to do and that's why i think if there was a 2nd place. russia and china britain might have come up on the list to add i'll let you respond. well i i want to quote jefferson are rise in defense of america and quote the old george m. cohan in yankee doodle dandy over there over there the yanks are coming over there you know what we had in the last 4 years as a president who finally turned the american party system away from wars a way we're seeing it right now we're playing list cheney one of the cheney family is being forced out of politics because the american people agree with the world

that our ideas that we were going to plant democracy in other places it wasn't just imperialism it was stupidity but i mean you know that poll to me smacks of what the europeans like to do when they like to talk about what's a threat who's it's right and here comes the big bad wolf that's a threat i will say this that one per day or of the threats of democracy in the world is a 3 letter word and it's seen. and then when you watch c.n.n. in every airport and hotel in europe or in asia or in america you see fake news like we've never seen you see racial strife in writing america is doing great in many ways the inequality economically and inequality of education is a problem but here's the great news i think the news is that we're all starting to agree big tech big media and big government are bullying the basics of the american vision and that's what most people want the world is more about the american system but the vision of more freedom freedom of speech freedom of

association so well i'm not surprised at the survey results because i think really c.n.n. and big tech does so much damage to everyone ed lemon to stick with you on this one i'll give you the 1st crack what about democracy in the kind of cove it those surveyed seem to agree that what their governments their respective governments have done during the pandemic eroded democracy limiting freedoms. well i think that's right i think there was a lot of fear but i you know and people one people fear is one of the greatest and most dangerous motivators in politics and i we've seen it in history and we've seen it in the last year and look in america we've had 2nd list leaders under trump and under biden it continues scientists to say they know everything and then they turn out to know very little but the serious a real problem but again i would go back to the damage that you know an artsy america in ours in the united states plays a role in actually people tell me oh it's time they let people talk you actually have a discussion our news here is just about see your mongering the model of american

cable news is see here fear fear sarma commercial fear fear fear pharma commercial and they make a book by the way fox news does it too and the question is after a year of that we have mostly a brainwashed nation that is fearful so that part of democracy is failing but then again you know we muddle through this and in america we're seeing more and more americans take control of their lives instead of letting bureaucrats dominate george what about that has your country stifled your democracy. well it depends you see in an existential threat situation like say the 2nd world war when hitler was the channel ports and brunson ready to invade us everyone was behind the government behind the state and they trusted what was said our problem know is that when our government tell us that it sunshine outside woohoo to the window to check.

and i think that's true in your country too are both of our states and many others have lost the cross the credibility with the people so when they say you have to wear a mask you have to get a job you have to show you that you have had a job and so on if people really trust the government which they do in. the much maligned china. people do it because the feel the government is on their side the problem is in our countries many people feel the government is not on their side and there are more wrong about. yes and it's true and this survey also revealed specifically here in the us that 62 percent of americans fear the power of big tech and social media is that any surprise to you george.

well i think the american people have shown great person because to did that because but isn't the biggest looming threat to democracy in western countries the power all but i need number are all the oligarchs who shop even the president of the united states of america who. don't buy a house and who'll unelected billionaires and house nor resurface i don't know a girl trump is alive or dead i haven't talked to him in january or one for a song every day all day but for the power of big of big media there's a lot of ruin in martin's life and. better different people were on the we're on the same mark ad what about well i want to frame up you know close or you've got you could have burns let me quote twain you know written reports of my death are greatly exaggerated that's what donald trump said i think he's kicking hard no let

me just say let me say very clearly listen to this watch what happens how big tech dominates hillary clinton spends 4 years saying that 2016 election was stolen that's what she said illegitimate based on russia russia russia all the proof and never in all the proof said no donald trump said the election was irregular and big tech shuts inbound and takes away twitter and facebook and everything else you don't have to pick what side you like to recognize that power and big tech i call it the narrative machine big tech and big media with big government behind it we've never seen anything like this that's happening in the world and in america we're feeling it every day we get chased hither and thereby by george floyd and liz cheney and everything else meanwhile the fundamentals of our country immigration education all are falling to pieces and so the narrative machine is dominating democracy i'm not sure it's a democracy if it continues the way it's gone absolutely i think we can all 3 of us agree on now and george galloway i admire good to see you gentlemen again thank you

a story for you it's called big and it's full of facts not fiction i sure. will. giving report from the washington post blasts popular social media giant instagram for allowing human trafficking accounts posing as maid placement agents wa po found some $200.00 accounts that posted photos of young women from places like the philippines kenya and ethiopia and marketed to persian gulf countries like saudi arabia and the u.a.e. with the promise of making good money working as

a maid in the glamorous emirate of dubai these young women were met with a very different reality the instagram agent collecting thousands of dollars per woman ships them off to the gulf where they are often abused and held against their will forced to work almost 247 some physically assaulted and even starved so joining us to discuss the dangers of social media's role in all of this is linda chavez she is the founder and executive director of limbs warriors an organization working to end human trafficking and sexual exploitation lynn thank you for joining us to talk about this very underreported issue 1st how common is it for these predators to use social media like facebook like instagram even tick-tock to lure women and girls. first of all manila i want to thank you and artsy for always covering this critical and crucial issue of trafficking and sexual exploitation

because i always tell you many don't but you always do so you are truly my worrier of the day let's talk about social media what what a misnomer it's not social it all we have certainly learned over the last year during kovac especially when more people are online at home for work and school what is going on with big tech and the into all of the internet platforms i want to say that the internet is the number one predator to our children and to all people every platform from facebook instagram now remember instagram is owned by facebook twitter to top reddit google all of these platforms have become the number one go to for the predators we handed people to that they suffer from no you know. anything now

a very there are no now there are no accountability no i can almost not even talk about it because i'm shouting about this 247 there is no accountability there they suffer with complete you know a unity because of the section 230 communications decency act 1996 now a lot has happened in our world and online 1996 i don't think they intended in 1906 for all of this trafficking to happen but it is happening in how easy we have made it simply with so many people online and so many vulnerable people i want to remind you again especially in the last year during cold it specially children there to be their games more their be more equal. to the child or an adult things they're talking to you know a friend now and literally they move in about 48 hours you know but that also goes to society in manila like why are children feeling so vulnerable why are adults yelling so vulnerable why is he doing and why are people so willing to you know

give up whether it's sextortion which we call you know giving image of your body or engaging the sexual conversation why is everybody doing that because what is happening we have seen an escalation over 97 percent in the last year alone to the cyber crime tip line was almost 100 percent when remember this is a very reported crime manilla so the numbers are staggering the numbers are larger and nobody is doing anything about it i mean that is that is mind blowing to think about when you think about how big the pool is right so given how frequently this stuff happens how come we never hear about it on mainstream media networks. i dare say that mainstream media 1st of all nobody wants to talk about this is a dark ugly you know shove this subject matter away it's not anything anybody wants to talk about and people have told me that but you do hear on our t.v.

i do lens warriors it doesn't generate you know they'll talk about the eps he in the lane maxwell all of that because in their minds and again i've spoken to many people they deem this they'll get clicks and they'll get you know the guys in these you know it's a very twisted thinking monella they think it's somehow sexy you know that it's money it's hollywood or nothing and you know what let's let's just be honest i say you know media walks hand in hand with your team an industry walking hand in hand with government and big tech they're all in bed together and it's one big mess and nobody wants to rock the boat and really talk about what's going on but in the meantime children all people are suffering not only the united states around the world clearly as this washington post article i mean i guess people write about it but then you turn on the t.v. you certainly never hear about it. you alluded to big tech aiding and abetting all

different kinds of human trafficking sex trafficking labor trafficking forced servitude how do you mean by that. first of all everyone has to understand what human trafficking the most common definition is the use of force for a coersion to obtain goods or services from another individual and normally we talk about sex trafficking but we have to remember there is labor trafficking there is forced servitude there is forced begging not in the united states but in a lot of other countries we have child soldiers forced into that so understanding the definition of what that is you know let's let's talk about human trafficking as a vehicle yeah ok think of it as a vehicle and if you have an image on line whether it's here in the united states it's in another country that image moves that image is exchanged you may take the image down when you realize this is not right most people actually know it's not right they do it anyway we'll get into that in

a minute but it's already been read to eat it it's already on the clout somebody is already downloading it it's not get these images down we currently in the united states have a couple of lawsuits with twitter playing with facebook. but we're up against big tech and you know i work on capitol hill as well and in d.c. and the lobby are big tech at last count we're getting paid a $1000.00 an hour monella wow and they will be a $1000.00 an hour and when you big tech now when you're talking to a senator or a congress member they will literally come up to you and i am not exaggerating they'll knock you over to talk to that person wow people like myself and other wonderful advocates all working you know for the for the common good of protecting helping people we're not getting paid a $1000.00 an hour we're doing this is not basically day to help and you know also i want to point out human trafficking sexual exploitation it has no political party

it is a human rights abuse issue and it is just i don't know you know what into the you and. what are we doing here nothing is happening and i need to sound so drastic but the truth is nothing is happening and this is what you have to teach your own you don't want to remind you again you have suffered no consequences and immunity under section $230.00 of the community communications decency so it is very true that. all your mates so much. trafficking and even people know. i we could talk to you for hours about this unfortunately i got to leave it right there you have informed us so much of what's happening in this on the dark side of social media not so social lynn shaw of lynn's warriors keep up the good work we will keep talking about it here thank you for joining us. let's head over to regina ham at the sports h.q.
