the, the, the, the ah, the highest court in texas rules facebook is liable for knowingly benefiting from sex traffic is under several victims, sued the company for failing to protect them from abuses alleging they were forced into prostitution via the net worth of teenage divisions deepen in the u of renew laura and hungry and hoping the spread of l g. b t. content and schools which poland is now also thinking of adopting. we discuss the issue with form austin, foreign minister and power. and can we see definitely is this pricing is atmosphere. there is a real story, kill speechlessness between brussels and and some members made some hungary want to

use pledge to go green by 2050. is branded a false by experts at the european environment bureau think look, members will just end up doing their own thing, new anti emissions or doesn't apply at the national lug. ah, hi there. thanks for joining us here on our shooting light. on the facebook's dark side, in a groundbreaking decision, the high schools in texas is ruled that the world's biggest social network can be held liable for knowingly benefiting from sex traffic is that means the company will find it harder to take refuge under a law that says platforms aren't responsible for content posted by uses. this comes after several victim sued facebook failing to protect them from abuses who use the site to force them into prostitution is teenagers. right?

because the picks of the story. one of the girls suing facebook was 14, when a man of about 30 message to julie methodically, he groomed her psychologically conditioned her for 2 years later, she would find herself in a motel room being raped by strangers or another girl, or 214 the predator who groomed her advertised on instagram traffic is used instagram to arrange dates. as a result, plaintiff was raped numerous times for the plaintive rescue from the trafficking scheme. traffic continued to use her profile to attempt entrap of the miners in the same manner. plain to some of the reports to these activities to facebook, which never responded. the trio now suing facebook are an anomaly. many boys and girls never speak out because of fear because of aberice mate and shame. they could be your kids, my kids defenseless, against a bedroom, predator who prays on psychologically vulnerable. kids news, their weaknesses,

the amount of sex traffic is on facebook and instagram, which it owns these booth astonishing and revolting. the internet is a major platform for traffickers to recruit, sex traffic and victims, and solicit buyers of commercial sex in 202059 percent of online victim recruitment in active sex traffic and cases occurs and facebook page books, lawyers shouts about section $230.00. so section $230.00 is a law which states that online platforms cannot be held responsible for the words or actions of the users, which makes sense if you shut down every website where someone says something offensive, there wouldn't be an into that left except of course, facebook may have been complicit, holding into platforms accountable for the words or actions that they use is one thing, and the federal precedent uniform. it, it states that section $230.00 does not allow it's holding into that platform

accountable for their own misdeeds is quite another thing. this is particularly the case for human trafficking. what do you have to do with a trafficker messages? someone through direct messages have moderates is read every single private message that uses exchange. and facebook says that it's doing what it can. sex trafficking is of horns and not allowed on facebook will continue to fight against the spread of this content and the predators to engage in it. except facebook really isn't putting up much of a fight, and the traffic isn't the p. the fall of using facebook. a much more brazen than you would think, plaintiff with 15 years old in 2012, when she was friend it by end of the facebook user, with whom she shared several mutual friends. the user profile featured photographs of scantily clad young women in sexual positions with money stuffed in their mouths, as well as other deeply troubling content. according to reports,

these pimps and traffic is even by up advertisement on facebook platforms, which facebook ads and does approve and makes money on that go the argument that facebook is complicit in under age sex trafficking, se louis representing the victims and the chords agree we do not understand section $230.00 to create a lawless, no man's land on the internet. in which states a powerless to impose liability on websites that knowingly or intentionally participate in the evil of online human trafficking. if the case succeeds, facebook and other online johns will have a much tougher tab of hiding behind pieces of paper with section $230.00 stamped and them claiming defied sex trafficking, even as they profit from hosting p, the fall pages and running, grooming ads. know if this case succeeds, facebook will actually have to start fighting the 6 trafficking industry that has made its platforms

a home. and the thing is that facebook comes so much scrutiny because they have this powerful censorship apparatus as are ready to monitor every little thing happening on their site. and they choose to ignore the really agree, just stuffing over the political things. they're too busy removing. mean jokes, and any sort of speech that sensitive delicate, like when people might want defensive, when, meanwhile, there's actual crimes apparently occurring on their slide. it's really bad. p oper, facebook, and it's good reason or, you know, parents to the store is there going on their kids, on instagram, facebook, rightly so. it's scary, spatial doesn't like press like this at all. they're, they're very scared of it. and especially where young people are concerned, they obviously want to young people and parents. they want to rope and young people . they want to get the hope that these platforms and keep them to the lifelong users. so facebook is going to want to clean it up simply for p r. i would imagine divisions, a deepening in the you, of

a liberal valleys hungry past. the new law aimed at halting the spread of l. g b t. content in schools. now the polish education minister saying his government should copy hungary law for self law passed by the hungarian parliament, outlaws depiction or promotion of l. g. b t. material to children and bands. the sharing of content on homosexuality or gender assignment to people under 18 in sex education lessons and in films and adverse the controversial laura overshadowed other topics that last week. see you summit half of the number stay, sir la. by jim, the friends, voice, the condemnation and the statement, european politicians didn't men's words? when asked to comment on the thorny issue, i can understand gays and lesbians, but what i don't understand, it's all the transgender people. if you want to go sex change operations, you basically committing a crime of self hom, these people are really intrinsically disgusting to me hungry and bill is

a shame. this bill clearly discriminate against people on the basis of their sexual orientation. and it goes against all the values, the fundamental values of the european union, and i am defending the rights of the whole sexual guys. but the slope is not about that. it's about the right of the kids and the parents, the lawyers about that to decide what kind the way the parents would like sexually educate the kids exclusively belonging to the parents on the letter holler, mike, i said to meet you or ben, if you don't like it and you can comply with that. there is also an alternative, and that's to get out of the union. hungary is an interesting case. for me, it's a kind of micro cause. some of the many other fraction friction lines that we have been observing was in the european union. let's say ever since 2008, 9. it started with the financial crisis. we had a north south fraction we had ever seen. the migration rises of 2015, this east,

west watershed line. and then over the last for a 3 years there so called article 7 procedure, which to european commission launched with regard to both hungry and poland. when it comes to rule of small, i don't see hungary clicking on the other $26.00 taking out hungry. that will not be the case. but what we see definitely is that this pricing is atmosphere, that is there, and that is that has all a drink get into a chance to a macro, to say why we should rethink the need to petition when it comes to foreign policy. because the funder position with regard to china with regard to other foreign policy, if you and there will be i could imagine all rolling playing a game by your opinion, maybe even from other members. because as we have seen, 14 you,

lambert signed the petition against hungary, but in central and eastern european states, somehow tacitly implicitly. so our assigning was hungry. i think there is some around gary in vantage point from what i've been observing over the last years is this kind of feeding you preference. you have no idea about our history about our culture, about our essential so there is, there is a real, our historical, speechless math between brussels and some member said, some hungary want to take the european environment. bureaus, branded the use new green law. a foss said, obliges the block to become a net 0 emissions economy by 2050 barbara mariani from the bureau. explain why that target might prove to him vicious to 5, because the real mission will actually only 52.8. because members say,

can you said they don't want to have a common you're trying to target finding kind of trying to august. then you also resist the and, and you sort of provision setting a deadline for subsidies last several elements. if one really, you know where we start to go with him into school for being hailed as a law climate change rule. the 27 nations in the book must collectively flash greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent by 2013 compared to the levels in the 1990s, quite 2015 to become a net 0 emissions economy. now the deal was approved by all expect full guerria, which abstain saying the final compromise did not reflect that national position. but while everyone else is totally on board,

that doesn't mean that they are all happy about it. the common who dog is not buying a national level is a big is a big obstacle and we are hearing some of our members seen this in check with people saying that com and you're trying to use where you will not for us. so we don't have to bother. so, you know, this is exactly the kind of dynamics which will not take us to climate neutrality because there is a sort of, you know, to say, putting the responsibility on out there is sure nurse without really looking into how to be quite nice when all the phones that are available today, also putting a big black film the blocks green credentials is the recent approval of the new coleman agriculture policy. until 2027. the critics say that that puts 2

environmentally unfriendly fingers off the efforts to find the climate crisis. they say 3 quarters of the budget for intensive farming practices, which account for around 15 percent of all europe's emissions. this agreement, full sure to the green deal ambition and the transformation and taishan of e u. agriculture policy. that farmers by diversity and the climate so badly need the c a p was supposed to be the big building block of the green deal. what remains the series of empty slogans with big agribusiness as usual or in many cases, a deterioration of the status quo. there's also a sense of things y'all were back in 2015. the parish agreement was seen as a breakthrough on global climate action. but since the promise is laid out in the treaty, have fallen by the wayside. the host nation of that summit fraud was found guilty by cool to failing to meet its commitment to curb the greenhouse gas emissions

leading many to question whether this new you know, will actually be worth anything more than the paper. it's been written on charlotte, even sky r t. paris indonesia is on the verge of a cove at 19 catastrophe. according to the countries red cross, infection rates are skyrocketing. will the 60000 new cases reported in just the last 3 days? and the local health system is struggling to cope with the sheer number of admissions of seriously ill patients. the because we are all tired, but there's nothing we can do about it. this is our duty, and we have to do our duty.

the my mother get sick about 2 days ago. they brought her to a hospital after her condition got worse. last night condition worse and, and she passed away. me. and induce coven crisis is taking a sinister turn, with fake jumps being administered at the thousands of private room vaccination points. these are all now being temporarily banned from operating. 10 people have been arrested in connection with the scan that includes 2 doctors. the victims were injected with a se, line solution, instead of a vaccine to boost in collections. the federal government now buys 75 percent of all jobs manufactured in the country, while most are administered free supply shortages. mean people have so private alternatives about been calling you from university of exit is medical school

explains why the risk of receiving a boat shot at non governmental hospitals these high i am shocked, i must admit, because in the middle of a crisis in india, there are people who think that they can make a quick buck. the trouble is there are people pretending to have cobra vaccines available at price. and as soon as the indian population here that the vaccine can be given privately, alarm bells should rise because the government supplies on not being provide head to the private sector. so you have to ask yourself the question, where did this private sector person get the vaccines from just because you've got money, you don't know where you're going. you don't know what the quality control standards . it's an unknown unknown in light of what we've just heard about. quake outlet as well. phil had the main witness in the u. s. case against julian assault submit

to iceland media. he gave false testimony against the wiki, lynx found. look at the implications of that after the break. the the so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy for an taishan, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk when i would show the wrong. why don't i just don't rule

out the thing because the after kid an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well the part we choose to look for common ground as we do at the end of almost every quarter, we gotta like, look back, look forward. where are we in all this crazy world? we live in the welcome back to me, the songs, the supporters say british and peace will protest townside bo moss prison on tuesday after cross party parliamentarians with refused a meeting with the whistle blower. us comes after the main witness in the u. s. case against the songs reportedly admitted that he gave false testimony in exchange

for immunity from prosecution. speaking to an ice landing newspaper, figured through thought us and said the wicked legs found it never asked him to hack any computers. databases all phones, which is the main challenge, standing against the psalms. the article suggest the us justice department collaborating with told us and to submit an indictment to the british courts. it's potentially a blow for washington. the some seeing the mission is fatal to america's case against the songs among them. fellow whistleblower edward snowden. this is the end of the case against julian sanchez. if biden continues to seek the extradition of a publisher under an indictment poison top to bottom, with false testimony admitted by its own star, witness the damage to the united states reputation and press freedom would last for a generation. it's unavoidable. junior massage is currently in bel marsh prison in london, extradited to america, he could face up to 170 years in prison for violating the countries espionage act. early we spoke to independent journalist taylor hubbard. you said the bud,

no ministration should drunk, the long running case against the sons the body. the ministration might much separate itself from trumpet era attacks on the free prize fight ending this case. and i have to say that all major civil liberties organizations throughout the world in all major publication in the united states and media organizations are calling for this pace to be dropped and for songs to be freed, it shows a very concerted effort to target julian sanchez and while this does obviously poses a threat to press freedom worldwide. i also want to make know that this is a human being who has been subjected to torture for over a decade. i recently sat down with juliana sanchez father, john shift in in brother gabriel shipped and. and while they are going strong and they're really pushing for their loved one to be freed, i have to say that this has deeply impacted not only julian hassan himself, but his family members as well. and his brother told me it's heartbreaking to see

him in this situation. and the u. s. government, one of the part of our constitution, we say that we shall not allow any cruel or unusual punishment. and here we are doing just to that, to a journalist and a publisher. and keep in mind the same journalism that one julie and assigned to numerous awards is the same journalism that has many prison today and information war that's on the presidential administration of the central african republic says a new un security council report is part of details alleged abuses by russian military instructors in the country will discuss the issue with a spokesperson for the c a r l. but you're lucky, mach, but i knew deeply. we are not happy that the un report has been handed to the media . so next charts of this reports are being used as part of an information war against the central african republic, which is not good over 90 percent of the document is objective testimony and

elements concerning crimes committed against the people of the central african republic. what is mentioned is the very small part of this report containing accusations against the central african armed forces under allies. these accusations are subject to a preliminary inquiry by the central african authorities and law enforcement agencies. the media continue to publish false information and we rely on the population international media to refute it. the criminal is also rejected. claims russian military instructors in the central african republic had been involved in killing civilians and looting homes. my colleagues for research shit. and saskia tele discuss details of the report thinking russian military advisors could not and did not participate in the killing. so robberies. this is another lie. well, a pretty strong denial to some pretty serious allegations. the charges here are the russian mercenaries deployed in the central african republic killed civilians. they

looted homes. they even show wash, oppose in a mosque. we're hearing those vide the new york times from you and investigators who penned to report that's already been submitted on already. in fact, very, it took me discussed by the security council. now these legit abuse and atrocities really are said to have taken place in january and february of this year during an operation to drive rebels out of several towns. now what is the proof full of power of photographs and witness testimony? all of that is at the moment on available to us now is was mentioning that the are indeed russians in the c a r y. a country has been going through tunnel since 960, when it 1st gained independence from france, but really tensions fled in 2017. that's when the rebels gained the ground violent spite, thousands were killed. hundreds of thousands were displaced. so the government turned to russia to help, and it invited instructors less than $550.00 to come and train the local army.

and, you know, she gave its blessing to that mission, has its own peacekeeping forces in the country to. so laska says it's train is not involved in any military operations for security and training purposes, able to provide pass and protection to see a leadership. so you can see a number of foreign actors in this one country and out very conflicting reports as to what each actor was actually up to the sky. when did these allegations actually come out? when this news broke? what's interesting is that russia's deputy, i'm passed it out to the un, denounced it as an anti russia political hit job and not the fast one. so she referenced me to reference to constant dubious attempt to discredit russians in the central african republic, especially with an american and french media. he use anonymous sources, lots to sort of more the general backdrop, most recent, either the see and also published an article that had echoes of the you and,

and report. so again, firing out civilians the binding of homes that will also instances of rape and torture. apparently, no bay quote, no calls who claims have seen one of the best possible information of those locals has been changed, so it's almost impossible to verify. so also one come one side of the story. what's interesting is that when the other side of the story is not just russia, as we've heard, but so the un fact c, a r leadership, the president of the republic would like to point out that scene and century did not be that the central african republic to confirm these facts, the cnn report is a deceitful and defamatory report based on rumors circulated on social media. now, while, as we heard, cnn might not have visited the c a r to sort of see what's actually happening on the ground already correspondent konstantin roscoe did. and this is what he found moving forward in disability to talk to the local regional. and they were like

really severely brutalized and harassed by by rebels in less than a month. and village was free. man says his father was murdered by military because he received the money thing. it was not much you can take from these people. this is what a typical village house looks like inside jargon. graham. the only furniture is small that the children sleep right on the floor. no stupid asleep. when the russians came, what did they do here? no problem. we came to protect. part of the russian. you have, they've been impressive. no, they haven't. well, how those was or indeed the was of the see all president himself fit in with the findings of the un remains unclear. but one thing is absolutely clear and not is that according to moscow, these latest explosive claims, in no way reflect reality. the head of the union of offices for international security,

a peacekeeping organization told us he isn't surprised by the negative international media coverage of russia's work in the country, especially. he says, when it's successful, the question kind of show a lot. the key thing is the word allegations you can actually lead anything you want, but in fact, we've been hearing so many things about the current times in the republic that actually have nothing to do with the reality of the presence of our instructors in the central african republic is legal due to the governmental court. the head of the republic asked our government to provide the country with civil instructors for teaching the national army, john armory and police. we know that currently every success achieved by russia is perceived critically. and of course, all mass media that operate under someone's umbrella, they spread those fakes of the situation in the republic is absolutely peaceful by now. the government is very happy with the presence of our instructors. and they also all spread increased the contingent. okay,
