regulation we want regulation as industry and if we don't behave then yes, penalty that's fine. ah ah. so pipelines here on our team the highest according to texas rules. facebook is liable for quotes knowingly benefiting from sex traffickers that has several victims to the company, but failing to protect them from abuses alleging they were forced into prostitution via the network. drug make a johnson and johnson avoids. are huge court trial against pharma giant getting underway now in america. it's over the countries opioid crisis and also after reaching a settlement of $230000000.00, which critics decry is way too small. and the use pledge to go green by 2050 is branded a foss by experts of the european environment bureau. i say the block members will just end up doing their own thing.
8:01 am
ah, already some big stories view today here on our tea and just a few minutes we'll go live to the u. k. prison holding julian assigns, but for now shutting light on facebook's dark side and a ground breaking decision. the highest court in texas has rule that the world's biggest social network can be held liable for, quote, knowingly, benefiting from sex traffickers. this means the company will find it harder to take refuge under a law that says platforms are not responsible for the content posted by its users. and comes off to several victims, sued facebook, but failing to protect them from abusers who use the site to force them into prostitution as teenagers. but i guess the picks up the story. one of the girls suing facebook was 14, when a man of about 30 message to sunni methodically,
8:02 am
he groomed her, tried to logically condition her. for 2 years later, she would find herself in a motel room being raped by strangers or another. girls or 214, the predator groomed her advertised on instagram traffic is used, instagram's arrange dates. as a result, plaintiff was raped numerous times following plaintive rescue from the trafficking scheme. traffic is continued to use her profile to attempt to entrap the miners in the same manner. painted some other report to these activities. facebook, which never responded. the trio now suing facebook are and normally many boys and girls. they never speak out because a fear because of a barest 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 owns these booth astonishing and revolting. the internet is
8:03 am
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 that wouldn't be in into that left. except of course, facebook may have been complicit, holding incident platforms accountable for the words or actions that they use is one thing, and the federal precedent uniform it, it states that section 230 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
8:04 am
a trafficker? messages? someone through direct messages have moderators read every single private message that uses exchange. and facebook says that it's doing what it can. sex trafficking is horned and not allowed on facebook, where we continue to fight against the spread of this content, and the predators who 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 much more brazen than you would think. plaintiff was 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 scantily clad young women in sexual positions with money stuffed in their mouths, as well as other deeply troubling content. according to reports, these pinks and traffickers, even by up advertisement on facebook's platforms, which facebook has to and does approve and makes money on. now go the argument that
8:05 am
facebook is complicit in under age sex trafficking. se lewis representing the victims and the courts agree. we do not understand section $230.00 to create a lawless, no man's land on the internet. in which states a powerless impose liability on websites that knowingly or intentionally participate in the evil of online human trafficking. if the case succeed, facebook and other online johns will have a much tougher tab of hiding behind pieces of paper with section $230.00 stamped them claiming defied sex trafficking, even as they profit from hosting p to fall pages and running grooming ads. no, if this case succeeds, facebook will actually have to start fighting the sex 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 our plan is to monitor every little thing
8:06 am
happening on their site. and they choose to ignore the really agree to stuff and go over the political things. they're too busy removing, mean jokes, and any sort of speech that sensitive delicate, like when people might find defensive, when. meanwhile, there's actual crimes, apparently occurring on their side. it's really bad, piano, facebook, and it's good reasons or, you know, parents see these stories. they're going to want 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 them hooked on these platforms and keep them to be lifelong users . so facebook is going to want to clean it up simply for p r. i would imagine the biggest court case against pharmaceutical giants has now gotten underway in america . a drug makers stand accused of aggravating the countries opioid crisis plan is to lay out all of the bad conduct that lead to the present. and that's,
8:07 am
that's number one. certainly, we want to establish, we want the jury to hear it. we want the jury to, to answer the question. this was a public nuisance. they cause a ripping terrific damage to our community. that's what we want from this, from this dr. one farmer john will not be at the trial though. johnson and johnson has agreed to a $250000000.00 settlement with new york. now, as a part of this deal, it will resolve opioids related claims over the next 9 years and stop selling opioids in america, the company and stow that while the settlement isn't any admission of wrong doing. as it says, it hasn't sold opioids since 2015. now, the opioid crisis that's being blamed on j n j, and the other drug makers who will stand trial his course, huge suffering across the country. it's killed almost half a 1000000 people. johnson and johnson is accused of over prescribing drugs and causing addiction something the company denies. it says it distributed only the
8:08 am
necessary amount of the treatment to people with medical issues. luca j master heads, an organization that helps drug addicts recover. he says, compensation for victims should be much higher. this should be a much bigger compensation, a half a 1000000 americans that perished remiss and many more families that have been destroyed by this addiction, which is at an epidemic level and continues to increase both and not only over those depths, but in the spread of the contagion throughout the society. so is $230000000.00. adequate? absolutely not. the european environment bureau has branded the e use new green law a foss. it obliges the block to become a net 0 emissions economy by 2050, a barbara mariani from the bureau. explain why that target might prove to ambitious
8:09 am
to fast 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 clear deadline for subsidies. so there are several elements if one really you know where we started to go with the volume and so was cushion 4 feet hales and land law climate change rule. the 27 nations in the book must collectively splash greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent by 2030 compared to the levels in the 1990s . i'm quite 2050 to become a net 0 emissions economy. now the deal was approved by all expect guerria,
8:10 am
which saying thing, 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 dog is not binding. a national level is a big is a big obstacle and we are hearing some of our members saying that, oh, but it's in check with people saying that. com and you're trying to get for you is 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 thing the responsibility on others should nurse without really looking into how to be quite nice. when all the fans that are available today, also putting a big black pull off on the blocks,
8:11 am
green credentials is the recent approval of the new common 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 to 15 percent of all europe's emissions this agreement, full sure to the green deal. ambition and the transformation and viewing station 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 a 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 then, the promise is laid out in the treaty have fallen by the wayside. they see the host
8:12 am
nation about summit fraud found guilty by cool to failing to meet its commitment to curb. but 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 power. i choose a sees a highly anticipated euro 2020 class between england and germany at wembley stadium in london. but apparently not, everyone's too excited about the game. on the eve of the match, a german politicians slammed both the british government anew wafer for allowing it to go ahead. during the pandemic branding it an irresponsible decision. let's learn more about this in cross life. so your correspondent, peter, all of a, joining us now. peter, what exactly the politicians so concerned about. can you tell us well that concerned about the amount of funds that are going to be allowed into the stadium
8:13 am
and the levels of coven infection that are currently ripping through the united kingdom. $45000.00 funds will be allowed into wembley stadium to watch this much between england and germany. and that's prompted some politicians here to go as far as to say that this stunned by the carelessness of the u. k. government on view a for, for allowing this to happen. the reason they're concerned is the delta variant of covert 19 and the risks that it poses when you look at the numbers of infection. the difference between germany in the united kingdom is quite stark. in the last 24 hours, there's been 22 and a half 1000 infections of cove at 19, in the united kingdom, 341 infections in germany. what we've seen is politicians say that the british government really should have done something here. they shouldn't have allowed these extra funds to come in. they had been less funds allowed for the group stage game. the plan is for the semi finals and the finals that could be as
8:14 am
many as $60000.00 funds coming in to wembley stadium for those games. we look around the rest of the tournament, this total cost being played over multiple cities, multiple venues. there is really a work of a mix shows of different tactics being employed in russia. 50 percent of the stadiums allowed to be full here in germany. significantly reduced attendances in the netherlands. well it's, they're allowing 12 hour passes for traveling funds to come in to the stadium and they've got to get out as quickly as possible. while it hungry there is pretty much a free for all for any funds that can get tickets. the stadiums are full german politicians, not happy about what's happening in the u. k. and not happening happy with the europe football governing body. i think it is the responsible when tens of thousands of people come together in a small space in countries that are considered areas of the highly contagious delta
8:15 am
parent. i would not have done it like that and hungary would not have wanted to take responsibility for it. football is not war. the super spreader event. enjoy. yes, but enjoyed reasonably well the well, there'll be no travelling germany funds in the stadium. they would have had to set off 24 hours before the game that decided that they'll be playing the match on tuesday. if they were to get through the quarantine rules that are currently in place, as it sounds when it would come to returning to germany, that would have been even more difficult for them. currently, germany, bonds all but the most essential of travel from the united kingdom angle america. of course, we'd like to see that spread across the european union as she is gravely concerned about the risk of the cove at 1900 delta very. and that is rampant in the united kingdom. she wants to see all a member states put a at least restrictions on travelers from the u. k. coming into the you and
8:16 am
potentially being the source of a 3rd wave, another wave. i don't know how many ways we're on through right now. another wave of cove at 19 across the mainland european continent. right out to peter oliver. thank you. i got to come here on the program on. see, the russian president is getting ready to hold is annual q and a, with a nation on wednesday, sometimes goes to for even 5 hours hundreds, if not thousands of questions being asked. we'll check out how preparations are getting on the way for the big event after this short range. oh, i use what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation. let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,
8:17 am
8:18 am
it is good to happy with us today. a british m p. 's are currently protesting outside bell marsh prison. that's where julian sons is being held. now it comes off to the main witness in the u. s. case against him, reportedly admitted that he gave false testimony in exchange for immunity from prosecution. let's go live now to london. shoddy edwards dashed just outside the belmont prison, now shouting, what's the general moose area sounds quite animated and basically, what's the future for us on now? the outside marsh prison and they are here in solidarity with june this on. so i've just been charged 3 songs on this key message and they were jointed today by members of parliament that were trying to deliver to to the prison guards here at belmont prison, which is of course, where june sanchez been for 6 months since the u. k. to night expedition to the
8:19 am
united states. now of course, after that had been blocked, the u. s. is still trying to appeal that decision earlier today we had from m p. 's, who said that he's simply in jail for reporting the truth of just exposing war crimes. we also had some stella morris, the partner of june sergeant, also mother to his 2 very young children. and she believes at this point, he is now a political prisoner and effectively the justice system here called justice system here is denying the father of her children to be together with the family. now of course, the u. s. is appealing this decision. they want to respond to face trial for 17 counts under the espionage act. they call it the largest compromise of classified information in the history of the united states and want him to face trial for publishing these classified documents, all relating to the war in iraq and afghanistan, plus one of conspiracy to hack
8:20 am
a government computer. to publish these documents as well, but recently that's been another twist to the story in narrative as well. allegedly key accusations in the case, reportedly based on false testimony from a convicted. also, who admitted he was lying in the case in the legal proceedings in exchange for us immunity as well. this is the end of the case against julian sarge. 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 jared alone. well, the united, i mean the appeal really much
