when so many find themselves, well, we choose to look for common ground in the highest court in texas rules. facebook is liable for quote, knowingly, benefiting from sex traffickers. it comes with several victims soon. the company for feeling to protect them from abusers. they mean they were forced into prostitution via the network. the us state department issues a warning feeling americans not to travel to russia, placing the country on the same risk list, syria, uganda, and yellowstone, for reasons including supposing terrorism under group of british m. p 's hand a cross party letter to belmore prison in which they demand the right to visit. wiki leaks, co founder julia french. we hear from the former leader of the opposition was among

those taking part. i've often spoken about jonathan in egypt and mexico in indonesia, in many other places. but suddenly it's all different what julian apologise to ah, just a few moments into the last day of june, here in moscow, your life with our t international this ours top story. in a grown breaking decision, the highest court in texas has rule that facebook can be held liable for, quote, knowingly, benefiting from sex traffickers. several victims recently sued the world's biggest social network for feeling to protect them from abusers who use the side to force them into prostitution. as teenagers or senior correspondent brought guilty of reports. one of the girls suing facebook was 14, when

a man of about the 3rd message to julie methodically, he groomed her like a logically conditioned her. for 2 years later, she would find herself in a motel room, being grave by strangers or another girl, 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 the entrap of the miners in the same manner. painted some of the reports of these activities, facebook, which never responded. the trio now suing facebook are an anomaly. many boys and girls. they never speak out because that fear, because of aberice meant and shame. they could be your kids, my kids defenseless, against a veteran 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 shout 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 internet 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 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 will 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 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 pinks and traffickers even buy up advertisement on facebook's 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 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 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. 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. and the thing is that facebook comes under so much hurt me because they

have this powerful censorship apparatus is our cooperate to monitor every little thing happening on their site. and they choose to ignore the really greatest stuff and 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 find offensive when. meanwhile, there's actual crimes apparently occurring on their side. it's really bad, piano, facebook and it's good reason their parents to 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 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 simply for p r. i would imagine the us state department has issued a special travel alert, warning. it listens not to head to rush under any circumstances. it sites

a whole host of reasons for the decision do not travel to russia due to terrorism, harassment, by russian government, security officials. the emphasis limited 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 . basically what the state department has done. it's declared russia level for threat to be fair though. several countries have recently received this bump up to threat level for including many in europe, but many of most of those countries received that level due to current covered 19 concerns. in russia's case, however, the main threat, according to the state department, is terrorism and potential abuse by government officials. apparently, according to this state department, terrorists are literally around every corner here in russia. terrorist groups,

trans national and local terrorist organizations, and individuals inspired by extremist ideology, continue reporting 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, for many people who have been to russia are especially live in russia. these statements are just ridiculous and absurd, nothing to do with reality in everyday life, in russia, and just for context. this kind of implies that the state department is traveling to russia as dangerous as travelling to countries like of gas, stan syria and libya literal, war zones. i think if i'd read this before coming here, i might stay for 15 years. dimitris to be honest, it's scary. stuff and terror,

the terror threat. russia is not exactly the only country effected by. is it obviously not, of course terrorism does happen in russia, but kind of rarely, i mean, yes, we saw the situation because over a month ago. but more often than not, these stories about the headings, knife attacks, settings, killings, they're not coming most of the time from russia. they're coming from countries like the us, the u. k. in germany, france. yet somehow, none of these countries have been designated as a whole for threats, apparently, according to the state department of the mythical thread. terrorists and russia is far greater than everything that's been happening in europe over the past few years . here's just a few examples of opened to terrorism investigation after a police employee was stab to death at the police station near paris news tonight about the deadly terror attack outside of paris. this is the 3rd terror attack in just over a month in friends. perhaps we should point out that it's not that long ago that

we're hearing it by the term stable, unpredictable relations that bite administration seeing that's what they wanted with and from russia. how does that fit with these developments? well, basically just flies in the face of everything the, by the ministration has been saying the stuff we heard during the biden brutal summit. but it's not exactly surprising. sure, there's a lot of talk by this, by demonstration about stable relations, treating each other fairly. but in practice it turns out to be basically a game of double standards and flip flopping when whenever it comes to us relations and 1st we're friendly, then rushes, not enemy number one, and then it's a level for travel thread. and all this time, the bio ministration keeps things stuff like this. we see a predictable, stable relationship with russia. we want to stable predictable relationship. we are not looking to de escalate. we would prefer to have a more stable, more predictable relationship present food. and i had

a share unique responsibility to manage the relationship between 2, our phone proud country's relationship has to be stable and predictable. all these statements obviously sounds lovely and there's a lot of people who do want russia and the u. s. to get along. but with gestures like this thread designation, it seems obvious that there's still a lot of people in washington who want to see russia as an enemy, as a fred and relation between the 2 countries have been on this kind of one step forward to step back. kind of trend, and as long as that's the thing the relations probably won't get any better anytime soon, especially with the us constantly finding and making up reasons to describe russia as the bad guy in a bad place. the entry public speaking to me earlier, the move also follows russia's decision to put the u. s. on the list of on friendly countries along with the check republic. former us marine corps intelligence officers, scott ritter, se washington may say they want a stable relationship,

but their actions have yet to demonstrate the clearly it's a political move because russia is not this dangerous. is afghans, dan, syria, and another nations that are engaged in ongoing conflicts? i believe it's more of a retaliatory measure taken in response to russia listing the united states as, as an enemy. the white house is very careful with his words. predictable and stable does not mean friendly. under no circumstances doesn't mean friendly, means predictable and stable. united states has painted russia as, as an adversary, not as a friend. but what it wants to ensure is that, like perhaps during the cold war era where the united states and the soviet union were not friendly, were adversarial. there was a predictability and the stability and the relationship that allowed, you know,

adversarial feelings and emotions not to spin out of control into actual conflict. so the, the goal here is to have the united states and russia talk so that there is predictability so that there isn't going to be a war. so that's there's ability, so there isn't going to be an attendant consequences. this doesn't mean where friends, where not united states has made it clear. it is not friendly with russia. it says in the future would like to be, but it's taking no steps in that direction. and you know, that's just the unfortunate reality of the times. we live in britain's maximum security belmore the prison saw quite the crowd on tuesday. a number of m. p. 's joined supporters of julian sons for a protest outside the facility where the wiki leaks co founder is currently being held. the politicians handed in a cross party letter to the prison in which the coal died bell morse's refusal to allow a meeting with

a soldier. protest comes after the main witness in the u. s. case against the sons reportedly admitted giving false testimony in exchange for immunity. from prosecution. we heard from the former leader of the u. k. opposition. jeremy corban, it was among those out the protest. 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. 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. julian spent years in ecuador, and 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

a good 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, sent it 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 meeting of members apartments on a legal basis for julian massage. and also to make the point that judy and somebody that stood up for the truth around the world has helped us to understand what happening with bay. and in so many other places around the world where the us

military have done such terrible things. and we think he is a journalist sanction, i've often spoken about german in egypt and mexico and indonesia, in many other places. but suddenly different julianna's colleges. i don't differ. he has spoken the truth about what has happened around the world. the biggest ever court case against pharmaceutical giants is underway in the us drug makers stand accused of aggravating the countries opiate crisis. our plan is to lay out all of the bad conduct that lead to the board and with them and that's, that's number one. certainly, we want to establish, we want the jury to hear it. we want the jury to answer the question. this was a public nuisance. they caused riffing terrific damages to our community. that's what you want from this, from this trial. one form

a giant won't be at the trial though. johnson and johnson has agreed a $230000000.00 out of court settlement with new york. as part of the deal, it will settle related claims over the next 9 years and stop selling off yards in america. the company insists, though, that it isn't the mission or wrong doing as it hasn't sold opioids since 2015 while the opioid crisis that's being blamed. on johnson and johnson, the other drug makers who wilson on trial. of course, you're suffering in the country. it's killed almost half a 1000000 people, j and j is accused of over prescribing drugs and causing addiction something the company denies it distributed only the required months to people with medical issues look j enough to heads an organization that helps drug addicts recovery. he believes compensation for victims should and must 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 deaths, but in the spread of the contagion throughout the society. so is $230000000.00 adequate? absolutely not. what bring it to south america after the break and the country and crisis violence, once again, a rubbing on the streets of columbia. national strike, that's grown the nation to hold riches. it's a 2 month mark. stay with us for the

join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me after the fight in some european leaders such as germany's merkel and frances mac road called for renewed dialogue with russia. the baltic states in poland said not so fast. thus there is no consensus within the e u on how to move forward. the ball remains in brussels court hearing and found introducing and found to, to a family when a new mother is going through that process. yet there's certainly tremendous cause for great joy, but because it's an event that causes so many different changes. it's stressful at

many levels. ah, the 20 minutes past midnight here in moscow. welcome back. indonesia is on the verge of a covert catastrophe. that is, according to the red cross infection rates. there, skyrocketing with more than 60000 new cases reported in the past 3 days. a local health system is said to be at breaking point. me 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 . my mother got sick about 2 days ago. they brought her to a hospital after her condition got worse last night, but condition worse and, and she passed away the me okay to some continental strife. now, the european environment bureau, branded, they use new green law, a force, the legislation obliges to block to become a net 0 emissions economy. we've heard that term quite a lot by 2050 barbara marianna from the bureau. explain why doc targets she believes will be met to 5 because the real mission relaxer is only

52.8. because members, can you said they don't want to have a common neutrality target finding kind of trying to august. they also resist the and, and you sort of provision setting a deadline for subsidies. so the last several elements, if one really, you know where we started to go with him into school for being hailed as law climate change rule. the 27 nations in the book must collectively flash greenhouse gas emission by 55 percent by 2013 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 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 binding. a national level is a big is a big obstacle and we are hearing some of our members seen this in check republic. people say 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, who think responsibility on others should nurse without really looking into how to be club when i've, 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 common 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 then, the promise is laid out in the treaty have fallen by the wayside. the host nation of that summit from, from 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 ski r t, paris. just a day, after confronting a british navy warship that said to have sailed close to its territory, russia has revealed it was forced to do the same thing again. this time with a dutch frigate rushes ministry of the fence claims the ship called the everson hans diverted from its course and began sealing towards the curt straight off the coast of crimea, rushes scrambled fighter jets and bombers to intercept the vessel. the netherlands . how's accuse the plains of harassing the everson in international waters? turkeys president has launched the construction of a controversial you can. now,

in istanbul, it will run west of the city and is expected to be completed within half a dozen years. president are the ones that can know will be a source of pride for the turkish people. but the projects raising concerns over its environmental and economic costs. while the price tag is estimated at $15000000000.00, it will link the black sea, the sea of murmur, 6 bridges in all will spawn the 45 kilometer long route on the projects designed to ease traffic and reduce the risk of accidents in the boss. for a straight one of the world, the busiest shipping lanes. but critics have questions whether turkey will apply them on true convention to the canal, signed in 1936, that international agreement regulates at vessel trans. it through the boss 1st, darden l straits had guarantees free passage for civilian vessels,

restricts naval ships not belonging to black c states. the article has said he isn't planning to quit the treaty, but won't hesitate to review any agreements to get a better deal for turkey. in the future, middle east, the analyst mar what calf is concerned by on chris current lack of cooperation on this with its key regional partners. the worrying thing is that the obvious thing, so to speak, is that turkey is not doing this in full cooperation with the main stakeholder in and in the whole operation, which is russia. and this is the worrying thing. could be the case that turkey is doing this in order to put pressure its own pressure on russia in order to gain some leverage. but if this indeed proves to be, you know, a ne to oriented operation, whereby sudden the nature ships say we're,

we're not bound by the mantra agreement anymore. and we can go into the black sea as much as we can. and we don't have to leave up to 21 days. then, you know, with that may crush, i behave different tree in a more and as serial or defensive way towards turkey, which could lead to some confrontation here. or there. protestors on the streets of the colombian capital have once again clashed with police. it's the latest skirmish during a national strike. snow dr. dawn for 2 months. demonstrators have been demanding an end to police repression and their roots. the branch reform of social policy the

the capable in bolton is, is a big deal is jim and she has to start. and the wave of social protests that have swept across colombia, hundreds of people to, to the street with a long list of demand from the country's government for cooling, for a better life, for everyone. very much has been achieved. controversial health care reforms was prep minister. the head of foreign ministry, as well as the chief of police all resign. okay, so why today 2 months later, people are still in the streets, which i think it's necessary to continue resistance. we thought this might define joint committee help negotiations with the government. the government has refused to speak with the people on the street. you know, that was again, was a keeper. because in addition to that, but you need to press our projects for multiple action allow us to help people who live on the street and are not able to get an indication on marion. taken with us,

we will stay on the street because we do not have a good enough livelihood, love and do not have enough help from the government. or we won't allow ourselves to continue to be robbed in such a shameless way. can we continue to fight? because our country needs side in the community also needs to really see in order to achieve tolerance for college and make our country a better place for us. as the protesting columbia began early this morning in the city of medicine. and a few hours ago, there was reportedly a forceful intervention by doing an engine team to this pass protest. there was also information about several mass demonstrations in some areas of the city, like you can see here in the north of the capital. just a few days ago, it was here that hundreds of people took to the streets and protest. know the situation has changed in particular due to their restrictions and post in order to protect the population and get your own a virus be on the phone on the 20th of july.
