americans look past the deaths that happen every single day. this is a modern history of the usa, america on our t ah top headlines here on our team, the national, the highest called in texas rules that facebook is liable for. quote, knowingly, benefiting from sex traffickers becomes several victims through the company of failing to protect them from abuses, saving they were forced into prostitution via the network. drug make a johnson and johnson avoid a huge court trial now on the way over the opioid crisis in america. that's also reaching a $230000000.00 settlement, which critics lost as being way too small. the use pledge to go green by 2050 as brad, that of foss, by experts at the european environment bureau saying brock members will just end up

doing their own thing ah, tied you to have you been for the program today here on the international some pretty big stories lined up for you. here we go. so shutting light on facebook's dark side in a groundbreaking 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 traffic. because this means the company will find it harder to take refuge under a new law that says, i should say, a former law, the current existing law that basically says platforms and not responsible for the content posted by users. now it comes off to several victims, sued facebook for failing to protect them from abusers who use the site to force them into prostitution as teenagers. here's our correspondent, more i guess the f one of the girls suing facebook was 14, when

a man of about 30 message to sunni methodically, he groomed her psychologically conditioned her for 2 years later she would find herself in a motel room, being grave by strangers or another girls, or 214 the predator groomed her advertised. on instagram. traffic is used instagram to 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 mind is in the same manner. painted some of the reports of these activities. facebook, which never responded. the trio now suing facebook are and normally many boys and girls. they never speak out because of fear because of a barrel 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 of on facebook and instagram,

which 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 occurred and facebook. facebook's 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 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 does not allow it's holding into that puff, accountable for the old 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 moderators read every single private message that uses exchange. and facebook says that it's doing what it can. sex trafficking is apparent 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 that fall 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 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 pinks and traffickers, even by up advertisement on facebook's platforms,

which facebook apps and does approve and makes money on. now go the argument that 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 state the power 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 stamped 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 sex trafficking industry that has made its platforms. a home powerful censorship apparatus is wiper, had to monitor every little thing happening on their site. and they choose to

ignore the really agree just stuff and go over the political things to they're too busy removing. i mean jokes and any sort of speech that's sensitive, delicate, like when people might, why defensive, when. meanwhile, there's actual crimes apparently occurring on their side. it's really bad, piano, facebook, and it's good reason or, you know, parents see these stories, they're gonna 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 because they want to rope and young people. they want to get them hooked on these platforms and keep them to the lifelong users. so facebook is going to want to clean it up. it's simply for p r. i would imagine the biggest to ever cor case against pharmaceutical giants is now underway in america. drug makers stand accused of aggravating the countries opioid crisis. our plan is to lay out all of the bad conduct that lead to oh,

good for them and that's, that's number one. certainly we want to establish, we want the jury to hear it and we want the jury to answer the question. this was a public nuisance. they caused riffing terrific damages to our community. that's what we want from this, from this dr. one that pharmaceutical giant, however, will not be at the trial. johnson and johnson has agreed to a $230000000.00 out of court settlement with new york. now, as part of the deal that it basically is going to be covering claims over the next 9 years and stop selling opioids in the country. and the company interests, though it's no admission of any wrongdoing, as it hasn't sold opioids since 2015. now, the whole opioid crisis that's being blamed on johnson and johnson on the other drug makers who will stand trial has certainly caused huge suffering all 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

required amounts to people with medical issues. luke j nasa heads an organization that helps drug addicts recover. he says the compensation for victims should be much higher. this should be a much bigger compensation, a half a 1000000 americans that perished from this. 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 huge new green law a fos, the legislation obliges the block to become a net 0 emissions economy by 2050 and barbara mariani who's from the bureau explain

to us why that target will not be met 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. so last several elements. if one really, you know where we started 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 2030 compared to the levels in the 1990s, quite 2015 to become a net 0 emissions economy. now the deal was approved by all expect, guerria, which is the same 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 who try dog is not buying a national level is a big is a big obstacle and we are hearing some of our members saying that, oh, but 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 within the response and we've now 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 off on the blocks 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 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 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. the host nation

of that summit fraud was found guilty by cool to failing to meet its commitment to could 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. paris tuesday sees a highly anticipated euro 2020 clash between england and germany at wembley stadium in london. but not everyone's totally excited about the game. on the eve of the match, the german politicians slammed both the british government and you for allowing it to go ahead. during the pandemic branding, it's an irresponsible decision. peter, all of us details well that concerned about the amount of funds that are going to be allowed into the stadium and the levels of coven infection, that it currently ripping through the united kingdom. $45000.00 funds will be

allowed into wembley stadium to watch this months between england and germany. and that's prompted some politicians to go as far as to say that they stormed by the carelessness, hope the u. k. government on view a for, for allowing this to happen. the reason they're concerned is the delta barrier 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, this being 22 and a half 1000 infections of cove and 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 fund allowed for the group stage game. the plan is for the semi finals and the final that could be as many as $60000.00 funds coming in to wembley stadium for those games. we look around the

rest of the tournament, this told him of the cost being played over multiple cities, multiple venues. and there is really quick work of a mix. much of, of different tactics been employed in russia, 50 percent of the stadiums allowed to be fall here in germany. significantly reduced attendances in the netherlands. well, it's a, they're allowing 12 hour passes for traveling funds to come in to the stadium, and then they've got to get out as quickly as possible while they hungry. very, pretty much a free for all for any firms that can get tickets. the stadiums for german politicians not happy about what's happening in the u. k. and not 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 parent. i would not have done it like that and hungary would not have wanted to take responsibility for it. football is not war of the super spread or event enjoy

. yes, but enjoyed reasonably well. there will be no travelling germany funds in the stadium . they would have to set off 24 hours before the game that decided that they'll be playing too much on tuesday if they were to get through the quarantine rules that are currently in place. as it stands 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 in 1900 delta very, and that is rampant in the united kingdom. she wants to see all your men to states, put a least restrictions on travelers from the u. k. coming into the you and potentially being the source of a 3rd wave, another wave. i don't know how many ways we're on 3 right now. another wave of cov, 19 across the mainland european continent. india is covered,

crisis has taken a sinister ton with fake jobs being administered at a number of privately run vaccination points. and these have all not been temporarily banned from any operating. 10 people have been arrested in connection with the scam, including 2 doctors. the victims were injected with assailing solution instead of a vaccine. and while getting job is free in the countries supply shortages mean, people have sold alternatives. dr. barra, pine canyon from the university of exit, as medical school, says, are the risks of going private are high. i am sure, 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 are not being provided to

the private sector. so you have to ask yourself the question, where did this private sector person get the vaccine 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. fake outlet as well. in denisia is on the verge of a covert catastrophe. that's according to the red cross. infection rates are up with more than 60000 new cases reported in just the last 3 days. and the local health system is set to be at breaking point 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 job

. the my mother gets 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 so britons maximum security bell marsh prison. so quite the crowd today, a number of m. p. 's join supporters of julian sons for a protest outside the prison where the wiki lease co founder is currently being held. politicians attempted to hand in a cross party letter to the prison in which they call out belmont, his refusal to allow a meeting with us on. although the president refused to accept the letter. protest comes after the main witness in the u. s. case against the san reportedly admitted giving false testimony in exchange for immunity from prosecution. and we got the

chance to speak to the foreman leader of the opposition. jeremy colbin. i visited many prisons and many prisoners over all the years. i've been a member of parliament and is perfectly normal. the members of parliament granted with due process of facility over the visit prison in this very prison before we now want a group of us to be able to talk to julian probably by video link in order. we can discuss his case and help to form our own opinions and encourage other members of parliament understand their role in what i hope will be a very strong campaign to prevent his extradition away from this country. i spent years in ecuador, and embassy was then taken out of your embassy and is now in a maximum security prison. the case went to court, the case of an application for extradition to the united states went to court. the court refused the request for extradition, and therefore at that point,

the case of in doing should have done. but instead, the united states has give notice that it intends to appeal against this extradition and seek to take it back to the court of appeal. and eventually, presumably supreme court, which would mean that he could be extra to the usa, where he would trace a minimum prison sentence of a 175 years. we have appealed to preston biden. to not go ahead with this appeal to drop the case. so that julian can be free and what was done today here at this maximum security prison and privacy on the belmont is to ask 2 questions. one is, will the governor reconsider her decision to refuse a private nature of members apartments on a legal basis for julian massage? and also to make the point that judy and it's somebody that stood up for the truth around the world, has helped us to understand what happening in so many other places around the world

where the us military on such terrible things. and we think he is a journalist of distinction and i said this in the cost of europe last week in a debate about press freedoms. i've often spoken about germany. 2 in egypt and mexico and indonesia, in many other places. but suddenly it's all different judy, and as far as i didn't different, he had spoken the truth about what has happened around the world, about abuse human rights. that german should always, that's regions. fighters from africa is notorious terra group. poco heart have now pledged allegiance to islamic state and follows the death of boca hiram's leader. just last month. we will unite together to fight the unbelievers. what will happen now will by far exceed what transpired

in the past. now that were united these on state and vocal herano actually being rivals for 12 years, supposed to be inactive in nigeria with the un saying, hundreds of thousands of civilians have died and the resulting insurgency and humanitarian crisis. with more of what the terrorist alliance could mean for the whole region. it's all correspondent, egotist. i know it's been a long time since you saw made major international headlines so long. you could think it's been vanquished, but you'd be very wrong. the terrorist hydra is raising one of its has again, this time in africa, absorbing one of the most vile groups on the continent. boca hiram's sudden affection for i still didn't come out of nowhere. islamic state twisted the group into allegiance. iso fight is apparently cornered the leader of boca rum and he had to detonate the suicide belt he had on the us even had to clarify that islamic

state militants involved in the killing were not eligible to collect the bounty. washington had placed on his head. how bad is that bocca rom is now part of iceland network. well, it's as bad as you might expect. the group has been terrorizing africa for years. boca rom has been abducting people on an industrial scale. everybody is tired, people are suffering. you're facing your own problem. it will be difficult for you to come out for somebody else. so it has become difficult for people to come out and make educations about kidnappings. in 2014, the kidnapped more than 270 girls. of whom about a 100, i believe, to remain in captivity still on top of that, the village downs and villages, and attack the nigerian army. it is unfortunate that despite all efforts put in place to restore peace in our land in the northeast, we, the people of border states are still under bogo her i'm siege. nobody can damage

to my new glory by 10 kilometers without being confronted, attacked by boca her, boca hiram's reign of terror spills over the borders of nigeria to in cameroon. and chad. and now the group that all ready kidnaps torches and murders will be getting orders from a group that has been doing the exact same things, but with brutality and ferocity on a whole different level. let me food and we'll hold is annual live q and a session with the country on wednesday that will be 12 pm. moscow time accomplished questions have been submitted by russians in advance and the q and a session can go 34 hours sometimes. so these are cars in rush golf went to see how preparations for the big event coming along. the

we're on the said latimer putting annual public key when a session we're, the russian president will take live questions from people across the country. the show is one of the most viewed on russian television last time, some 5300000. watch to live on tv and another 3000000 online. now, as you can see, preparations are well under way. this is by the way we're letting me put in is going to sit now the place is occupied by some of the workers. now, as you can see here, people are still getting ready, the equipment getting ready. the set up because of depend demik. there won't be a live audience in the studio this year. he'll take questions by video links with the help of 2 co host. the former with 1st launched in 2001 and the famous forgiven ordinary people, the opportunity to quit the president directly. some times, issues are sorted out even before the end of the q and

a session as local officials, as well as federal ministers. watch it live and take notes of what's brought to put in attention. and there is always a mix of emotions, do from intense conversations to humor, and burst of laughter will, alaska will be part of russia who would be very grateful. thank you. find a bond of pension or, you know, if i even off, why would you need alaska last question? when will everything be? all right. people who like to drink, so you can't drink all the vodka, but it's something to work on. so not everything is all right, but we're working on them. so this is the call center that received all the questions for the president. and unfortunately, we can go any further behind is red tape because of quarantine and cove. it measures, but you can see that scores of traitors working around the clock behind glass politicians do collect this data, collect all these questions. operators have to feel

a vast amount of inquiries and some times they have to call back to those people who sent their questions to the president to get even more details. questions that get through to the president very hugely from g o paul, that slide relations with the u. s. the personal matters. one year latimer pollutant wisdom and asked what was the biggest fish he'd caught and if he was planning to marry again, but of course the bulk of questions, usually concert series issues that people face in their day to day life. and it is safe to say that one of the focuses this year will be the situation around the cobit pandemic. as several russian regions, including moscow haven't post mandatory vaccinations for certain groups of people. know a lot of questions and health topics. of course, vaccination, lack of litigation, lots of questions about housing and from, you know, services when you have a police and foreign policy politics relations with the united states to european union. does that concern ordinary russians or knocks which, you know, guys,

people are asking a lot about the meeting with by them about other relations with other countries. organizers of the event have adopted new technologist this year. there is a dedicated app you can download on your smartphone and then you can either pre record your question to of latimer potent. or if you're lucky enough, you can ask it live during the show constant roscoe r t from moscow and live coverage beginning wednesday 12 pm. moscow time that's 10 am london time for putins annual q and a with all the citizens of russia. you can catch it on air and online at r c dot com. mm. the i

as we do at the end of almost every quarter, we got to like, look back, look forward. where are we in all this crazy world we live in it. i said, you know, probably you're not in my back on that. i want to understand like, obviously lucky you lucky but i got your so you'll have a lost his bus because i just got then you just got to go. we just have to be on my way, my cell, my daughter so i said, you know, put it with you and i'll pull up. i got almost what i'm already whatever sped up. i really, me just go to me. i mean, it was, i don't know what can think of when i went up and i really, he was, i just don't get time to respond to that one of this. but i'm like, obviously this is what it is i'm looking to see if you could kind of home. i just

spoke with him. yes, i think i was calling with you and your team, samantha, katie. yeah. my thought a lot of problem, we just got to go me good evening hawk water just when americans thought it was time to celebrate freedom from mask and talking for good. the world health organization said not so fast. fully vaccinated people are urged to continue wearing math as the delta variance spread, making covert elastic threat. people cannot feel safe just because they had the 2 doses. they still need to protect themselves, said dr. mary angela lowe. the assistant director.
