this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country a large understood the bargain you get a hope and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. of the really interesting to dial it back and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just the question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is and for . welcome back now to some of the top stories from the past 7 days starting in the united states where world press freedom day was marked by u.s. authorities who are mainly focused on journalists' rights in other countries they say arrived as it was revealed the united states witnessed more than $400.00

assaults on journalists over the post year that also $130.00 nine-a rests and over $100.00 cases of reporters the equipment being damaged the 2021 truck is shows more and more incidents every day and the week dawn of took a closer look at press freedom head america. if there's one thing entrenched in the d.n.a. of us democracy that would be putting america on the pedestal of righteousness at every given opportunity like here we're seeing every day. the work that journalists are doing around the world in increasingly difficult and challenging conditions nothing is more fundamental to the good functioning of our democracies they advocate they seek safety they celebrate the u.s. knows how to throw one hell of a party for a truth teller look no further than julian asuncion he's published so many u.s.

suffering and death in a matter of minutes jamal khashoggi fell out of favor with the saudi royal family and in 2018 was killed inside their consulate in istanbul reports suggest he was tortured before meeting his death beheaded and dismembered. as his killers got away on private jets the u.s. could not stand idle in the face of such an atrocity that's one reason we announced in response to the brutal murder of jamal khashoggi the shoji bam to help deter threatening behavior against the media i beg your pardon all this. is is a visa restriction policy that doesn't even target the saudi crown prince despite the cia itself saying he personally ordered the hit we held accountable all the people in that organization but not the crown prince because we have never that i'm

aware of when we have an alliance with a country gone to the acting head of state and punish that person and astra sized him and a cherry on top of this towering pile of a ball kristie is this promise of joe biden to show he was in fact murdered and dismembered and i believe in the order of the crown prince and i would make it very clear we were not going to sell war weapons to them we were going in fact to make them pay the price and make them in fact the pariah that they are the baron is cosmetic. we know or remember and and the person who do are there murders not going to be elder charitable he remains untouched because washington doesn't want to disrupt that relationship as politicians love to float amid the smoke of virtue and mirrors of morality but then things come into sharp focus and we see just how little integrity the rigs left. twitter suspended

a new account that will sharing donald trump post just a day after it was created it was made by the former president's communications team to promote his statements trump puzzles that discovered he won't be posting on instagram or facebook any time soon that oversight board up held a ban imposed after the capitol hill right thing in january triggering quite an outburst from the former president. the border farms the 2 posed by mr trump on general with the 6th severely violated facebook's 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 jenner of the 6 and extended that suspension on generally the 7th however it was not appropriate for facebook to impose an indefinite suspension what facebook twitter and google have done is

a total disgrace and an embarrassment told country these corrupt social media companies must pay a political price and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate electoral processes the tech giants came trying to violated that incitement to violence policy we discussed the implications of this with former trump campaign adviser karen actually you. should actually terrify every single american in any single citizen in the free world because we're looking at. a private for ration who is operating as a platform and one day and a publisher the next day we 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 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. dozens dead and missing and hundreds injured in colombia after a week of anger tax reforms the proposal has now been scrapped but the government's crackdown only spurred on the protests i cound a light vigil was held in the capital on thursday night with thousands gathering to pay tribute to the dead while voicing demands for the killings to stop the final reply to the protests as being those beliefs however there was only a carefully measured response from the united states a country known for cutting out all the stops to support activists in other countries our senior correspondent broadcast yes look to why colombia is a warning to everyone a warning of what happens when people have had enough. millions

a force on people who protected by the legitimate desires of citizens to launch go out to shoot defenseless citizens and crew attack police. there eating degrees of outrage today in from around the world for concern to shock to lip service in fact you could even get away with condemning the protest of all over the world citizens in democratic countries have the unquestionable right to protest peacefully violence and vandalism is an abuse of that right at the same time we urge the utmost restraint by public forces to prevent additional loss of life yes you policeman killing all those city protestors but then again colombia is very friendly with the us america regularly sends troops there so why ruin a good thing but just for reference listen to how the united states kook about the protests in hong kong we will continue to stand with hong kong years as they

respond to beijing's assault on these freedoms and autonomy and we will not stop calling for the release of those detained or imprisoned for exercising their fundamental freedoms you know how many protesters were killed by police in hong kong. 00 take their days where in neighboring colombia the u.s. tells brutus that behave themselves in venezuela they supported in the coup led by a man described as washington's let go we will continue to work with our partners across the region both to alleviate the suffering of the venezuelan people and to exert pressure on the regime so the country can peacefully return to democracy no mention of the fact that most of the suffering in video is jew to american sanctions but hey it's just how politics works how much those in power care about the suffering of other people is directly related to what those in power have

to get a wide net the peasants and the disaffected destabilize colombia when the president is such a good friend. washington colombia plays a very strategic role it states of america where there are several united states bases and colombia for many years has been headed by governments and presidents that have been subservient to u.s. interests in every so you see a lot of geopolitical strategy being used in the united states of course the return of large guy to human rights abuses in colombia because it doesn't. just is ignoring human rights abuses in saudi arabia or anywhere else in the world by u.s. ally but they tend to do. things it doesn't serve their interests. thank you for joining r.t. international today will be back in 30 minutes with. germany
