the tuesday worldwide headlines live from moscow. this is, are you into national, from all of us to welcome to your news and shutting light on facebook rather dock side. in a groundbreaking decision, the highest court in texas has ruled, 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, platform is not responsible for the content posted by users. 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. what i've been investigating, 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
11:02 am
a motel room being raped by strangers or another girl, or 214, the predator groomed her advertised. on instagram, the 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 mind is in the same manner. plaintiff's mother report to these activities facebook, which never responded. the trio now suing facebook are in normally many boys and girls. never speak out because a fear because of aberice meant and shame. they could be your kids, my kids defenseless, against the bedroom, predator who prays on psychologically vulnerable. kids news, their weaknesses, the amount of sex traffic 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,
11:03 am
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 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 moderators read every single private message
11:04 am
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 flight. and the traffic is in the p, the 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 pimps 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
11:05 am
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 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. the thing is that facebook comes under so much hurt me because they have this powerful censorship apparatus is, are cooperated to monitor every little thing happening on their site. and they choose to ignore the really agree just something over the political things to
11:06 am
they're too busy removing. i mean jokes and any sort of speech that's sensitive, delicate, like when people might find offensive 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 the store is 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 don't 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 simply for p r. i would imagine the biggest of a court case against pharmaceutical giants is now underway in america, and drug makers stand accused of aggravating the countries opioid crisis. our plan is to lay out all of the bad conduct that lead to be good for them and that's, that's number one. certainly we want to establish,
11:07 am
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 pharmaceutical john will not be at the trial though. johnson and johnson has just agreed to a $230000000.00 out of court settlement with new york. now, as part of the deal that will settle related claims over the next 9 years, and stop selling opioids in america. the company of fish, though it isn't any admission of wrongdoing, as it hasn't sold opioids since 2015. now, the opioid crisis that's being blamed on johnson and johnson, and the other drug makers who will stand trial has caused a huge amount of suffering all across the country from coast to coast. it's almost killed half a 1000000 people. johnson johnson is accused of over prescribing drugs and causing addiction something the company denies. it says it distributed the required amounts to people with various medical issues or luke j master heads,
11:08 am
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 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 foss legislation obliged to blog to become a net 0 emissions economy by 2050 a barbara marianna, who's from the bureau. explain why that's just not going to happen to fast because
11:09 am
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 the human scuse for being hailed as law climate change rule. the 27 nations in the book must collectively slash greenhouse gas emission 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, which is the same thing. the final compromise did not reflect its national position, but while everyone else is totally on board,
11:10 am
that doesn't mean that they are all happy about it. the common 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 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, who think the responsibility on others should nurse without really looking into how to be quite nice when all the phones that are available today, also putting a big block off in the blocks green credentials is the recent approval of the new common agriculture policy until 2027. the critics say that that puts 2
11:11 am
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 viewing station of e u. agriculture policy, that farmers about 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. 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. they see the host nation about summit from beauty by cool to feeling to meet its commitment to could but greenhouse gas
11:12 am
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 t, paris. britain's a maximum security bel marsh prison. so quite the crowd to day a number of m. p. 's joined supporters of julian, a sorry for a protest outside the prison, where the wiki lease co founder is currently being held. the politicians attempted to hand in a cross party letter to the prison in which they call our bell marshes, refusal to allow a meeting with us on. although the person actually refused to accept the letter of the 1st place, the protest comes off to the main witness and the u. s. case against the sondra, portly admitted giving false testimony in exchange for immunity. from prosecution. we had the chance to speak to the former leader of the opposition. jeremy kobus met prisons and many prisoners over all the years. i've been
11:13 am
a member of parliament and is perfectly normal. the members of parliament are granted with due process of facility over. 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 campaigns prevent his extradition away from this country. julian spent years in ecuador, and embassy was then taken out the door embassy and is now in a maximum security prison. the case went to court, the court refused the request for extradition. therefore, at that point, the case of n doing should have done. but instead, the united states is give notice that it intends to appeal against this extradition and seek to take it back to the court of appeals and eventually presumed to supreme court. which would mean that he could be extra to the usa, where he would trace
11:14 am
a minimum prison sentence over 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 in se, london belmont is to ask 2 questions. one is the government. we consider her decision to refuse a private member apartments on a legal basis for julian massage. and also to make the point that judy is somebody that stood up for the truth around the world has helped us understand what happening with bay and in so many other places around the world where the u. s. military have done such terrible things and we think he is a journalist of distinction. i've often spoken about german things in egypt and mexico and indonesia in many other places. but suddenly it'll lead julia
11:15 am
he how. 7 broken the truth, what has happened around the world to so you see the highly anticipated euro 2020 clash between england and germany at wembley in london. but not everyone is entirely excited about the game. on the eve of the match, german politicians slammed the both the british government anew wafer for allowing it to go ahead. during the pandemic, brian, to get an irresponsible decision. peter oliver has 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 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 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 variance of
11:16 am
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, is quite stark. in the last 24 hours, there's been 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 them the cost being played over multiple cities and 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,
11:17 am
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 reverend, 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. they'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,
11:18 am
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 member 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 onto the right now. another wave of cov, 19 across the mainland european continent. india is covert. crisis has taken a rather sinister tongue with fake injections being administered at a number of privately run vaccination points. these have all now being temporarily banned from operating. we understand a 10 people have been arrested in connection with a scam, including 2 doctors. the victims were injected with a failing solution instead of
11:19 am
a vaccine. and while getting job is free in the countries supply shortages main people have been looking for alternatives. and dr. barrow county from the university of exit, his medical school says the risks of going private are 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 are not being provided 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
11:20 am
are. 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 cobra catastrophe. that's according to the red cross. infection rates are up with more than 60000 new cases in just 3 days. a local health system is set to be a breaking point. me the because we're 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

11:27 am
safe to say that one of the focuses this year will be the situation around the covert 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, gosh, people are asking a lot about the meeting was wide and about the 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 latimer appointment. or if you're lucky enough, you can ask it live during the show constant, rosco r t from moscow. the big event starts at a 12 year. moscow time on wednesday,
