americans look past the deaths that happen every single day. this is a modern history of the usa. my america on r t. the top headlines here when are you into national, to the highest court in texas rules that facebook is liable for. quote, knowingly, benefiting from sex traffickers, comes out several victims through the company for failing to protect them from abusers, claiming they were forced into prostitution and via the network that you used to go green by 2050 is branded of foss by experts of the european environment bureau saying block members will just end up doing their own thing. a group of british m. p 's hand a cross party letter, the belmont prison in which they demand the right to visit wiki lease, co founder julian s. and we hear from the former leader of the opposition, who is among those taking part i've often for an agent in

mexico and indonesia in many other places. but suddenly it's all different. what julian colleges ah, well, a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at the international in moscow. and we've lined up your top tuesday stories for this hour and shutting a bit of light on facebook rather disturbing dock side in the 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 the users. it does come off the several victims sued facebook for 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, he groomed her try to logically condition her. for 2 years later, she would find herself in the motel room being raped by strangers, or another. girls, 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. 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 better estimate than shame. they could be your kids, my kids defenseless,

against the bedroom, predator who prays on psychologically but rebel 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, and solicit buyers of commercial sex in 202059 percent of online victim recruitment in active sex traffic and cases occurred 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 the, 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 president uniform. it,

it takes that section to 30 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 that uses exchange. and facebook says that it's doing what it can. sex traffic, it is apparent 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 flight. 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 uses 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 buy up advertisement on facebook platforms, which facebook apps and does approve and makes money on. now go the argument that facebook is complicit in under age sex trafficking, say louis 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 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 scrutiny because they have this powerful censorship apparatus as 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 they're too busy removing. i mean jokes and any sort of speech that sensitive delicate, like when people might, why defensive when. meanwhile, those 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 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 prisons, a maximum security,

belmont prison. so quite the crowd today. the number of m. p 's joint support who's of julian signs for a protest outside the facility where of course, the wiki lease co founder is currently being held. the politicians handed in a cross party letter to the prison in which they called out. bellmarks is refusal to allow a meeting with a sons. protest comes off to the main witness and the u. s. case against us on the portly admitted to giving false testimony in exchange for immunity from prosecution . and we heard from the former leader of the opposition, jeremy corbin, who is among those at the present. 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 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 campaign to prevent his extradition away from this country. julia, years in ecuador, an embassy was then taken out the door embassy 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 ending will 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 a minimum prison sentence of a 175 years. we have appealed to president biden, to not go ahead with this appeal to drop the case so that julian can be free. and what we've done today here at this maximum security prison in london, bell marsh is to ask 2 questions. one is the government. we consider 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 is somebody that stood up for the truth around the world has helped us to understand what happening 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 germany in egypt and mexico and indonesia in many other places. but suddenly it's all different what julian challenges to so i don't know if he has spoken the truth about what has happened around the world. the biggest ever court case against pharmaceutical giants is now underway in america. and drug makers stand accused over aggravating the countries opioid crisis. our plan is to lay out all of the bad conduct that lead to the 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 ripping terrific damages to our community. that's what we want from this, from this dr. one that pharmaceutical giant will not be at the trial. doug johnson and johnson has agreed to a $230000000.00 out of court settlement with new york as a part of the deal, the way it will settle related claims over the next 9 years. and stop selling opioids in america. the company is this, though, it isn't any admission of any wrong doing it, it hasn't said it hasn't sold any opioids. so 2015, now the whole opioid crisis that's being blamed on johnson and johnson and the other drug makers who will stand trial certainly has caused a huge amount of suffering from coast to coast in north america. it's killed almost half a 1000000 people. johnson and johnson is accused of over prescribing drugs and causing addiction something it denies it so that distributed only the necessary amounts to

people with medical issues. luc jay nasty heads, an organization that helps drug addicts recover. he says, compensation for the 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 in not only and 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 use new green law. a foss legislation obliges the block to become a net 0 emissions economy by 2050 barbara, mariani from the bureau itself explained why that targets never going to happen 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 neutrality target finding kind of trying to august. they also resisted and you sort of provision setting a deadline for sure. subsidies last several elements. if one really knew where we started to go, what you meant for being hailed as land 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 its 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 buying a national level is a big is a big obstacle. and we are hearing some of our members seen this in trickery. people say 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 within the response and we've now there is sure nurse without really looking into how to be quite nice when all the songs 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 up the efforts to find the climate crisis. they say 3 quarters of the budget will go to 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 we are in 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. 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 from beauty

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 fox here at moscow. the us state department has issued a special travel alert warning, it citizens not to head to russia under any circumstances. it sites a whole host of reasons for decision do not travel to russia due to terrorism, harassment, by russian government, security officials. the embassies limited the ability to assist us citizens in russia and the arbitrary enforcement of local law. your citizens may become victims of harassment, mis treatment, and extortion. all u. s. government personnel should carefully consider their need to travel to russia . or that's because it's further here on the street without to meet you palka.

joining us on this story. well, i didn't sound very friendly to what exactly is brought this decision around to blacklist russia? well, basically, before we don't know what brought on this decision, it just came out of the blue really, basically what the us department has done, it's updated is travel advisory and is declaring russia as a level for thread. basically that means the code read highest thread level there is, don't travel for this country. now, several other countries have received this threat level recently and this update, but even including a lot of european countries. but most of those are due to covered $900.00 reasons. russia, on the other hand, the main threat, according to the state department, is the we are not terrorism and potential abuse by government officials and according to the state department, apparently there are terrorists right around every corner here and russian terrors groups trans national and local terrorist organizations and individuals inspired by

extremist ideology containing plotting possible attacks and russia. terrorists may attack with little or no warning targeting tories locations, transportation, hobbs, markets and shopping malls, local government, facilities, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, parks, major sporting and cultural events, educational institutions, airports and other public areas. now, these statements, according to many people and especially for people in russia, are just ridiculous and absurd. they have nothing to do with reality. just for context in the state department's criteria, russia is listed as just in which a threat as countries like, again a fan, syria and libya literal, war zones. but you talk about this issue of terror attacks. ok, you mentioned some other countries. there are other issues to state the public dimensions here, but when it comes down to terrorism by far, russia is not the only one affected here, not at all. i mean, in fact,

if we just take a look back at the past few years, it seems like every other week or month there was a story about a mass shooting a stabbing or a beheading. and where did these stories come from? well, mainly, not russia. they came from countries like the u. k. d was germany friends. yet somehow these countries are not designated as level for threats. according to the state department. apparently the mythical threat of terrorists and russia is far greater than all these terror attacks that have happened in europe in the us. but if we have some comments, we can go to right now regarding a recent cases in europe, have a listen of opened a terrorism investigation after a police employee was stamped to death at the police station near paris. a terror attack in vienna. austria leaves 2 people dead, including one of the gunmen 15 others are wounded 7 seriously. this is the 3rd terror attack in just over a month in france, becky, and the 1st 2 were connected to the republication and friends of cartoons news

tonight about the deadly terror attack outside of paris or so the u. s. department puts out this warning, essentially, blacklisting russia for any potential tours. it says you can be harassed by government officials as terrorism in russia. americans might be mistreated even extorted. i guess the question is, how does all of this kind of mold with abiding administration saying diplomacy is back and they want to stable and predictable friendship with russia? well, it basically just flies in the face of everything. the biden instruction has been saying and the boost bite in some it, but it's not exactly surprising. yeah, we heard a lot of positive things during those meetings and from the vitamin iteration thing, they want friendly relations, those back relations for each other fairly. but with this gesture, it seems that the double standards and flip flopping are kind of the name of the game when it comes to relations with the us. first, we're friendly, then rushes enemy number one. then we hear all these nice things from the

administration about building relations, and then suddenly, where level thread for again, all right. dmitri power joining us here live on, aren't you into national. thank you. hello, choose a c is a highly anticipated year road 2020 class which when england and germany at wembley in london. but not everyone's entirely thrilled about the game. on the eve of the match, german politicians slammed both the british government and new wafer for allowing it to go ahead during the pandemic round and get an irresponsible decision. peter oliver has more. well that concerned about the amount of funds that are going to be allowed into the stadium and the levels of coven infection that i'm 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 of the u.

k. government on view a for, for allowing this to happen. the reason they're concerned is the delta barrier of cobra, 1900 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 cov. 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 many as $60000.00 funds coming in to wembley stadium for those games. we look around the rest of the tournament, this told them of course being played over multiple cities and multiple venues. and there is really a quick work of a mix, much of,

of different tactics being employed in russia, 50 percent of the stadiums allowed to be 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 in hungary there is pretty much a free for all for any farms 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 a highly contagious delta where and 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. 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 the 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, than 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 your member states put at 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 covert 19 across the mainland european continent. india is covert. crisis has taken a tough turn with fake jobs being administered at a number of privately run vaccination points. these of all now being temporarily

bound from all operations, certain people have been arrested in connection with the scam, including to doctors are the victims were injected with only a salient solution. nonetheless, it was not a vaccine. while getting injected, it's free in the country, supply shortages mean people have been looking for alternatives. we spoke with dr. butler and can hear from the university of exit his medical school. he says the risks are 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 co 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 . it's an unknown, unknown in light of what we've just heard about. fake outlet as well. fighters from africa is notorious tara group. boca hard. i've now pledged allegiance to islamic state and follows the death of vocal her arms 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 we are united is the state and rom, i've actually been a rival. 12 years, both have been active in nigeria, but the un saying hundreds of thousands of civilians died in the insurgency and resulting humanitarian crisis. with more and what the terrors alliance could mean for the region is our correspondent egos. dana. 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 believed to remain in captivity still on top of that, the village downs and villages, and attack the nigerian army. it is in full the 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 stage. nobody can move out 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. like my personal hold is annual life q and a session with the country on wednesday, 12 pm. moscow time. countless questions have been submitted by russians in advance . and it's because it's in a rush coffee checking on how all the preparations are going ahead of the big event . the we're on the set of ladder opposing annual public q and a session where 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 the pandemic. 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 house, the former with 1st launch in 2001 and the famous for given ordinary people the opportunity to quiz 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 due from intense conversations. to humour and burst of laughter will ever be part of russia would be very grateful. thank you. find a bond of no pension here for event. why would you need alaska last question? when will everything be?

all right, the 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 interest in the business, the call center that receives all the questions for the president. and unfortunately, we can go any further behind is red tape because of course in cove it measures, but you can see that scores of writers working around the clock behind glass presentations. 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 send their questions to the president to get even more details. questions that get through to the president very hugely from g o paul, that x like relations with the u. s. the personal matters. one year vladimir putin wizard 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.
