[000:00:00;00] the ah, the highest court in texas rules facebook is liable for lovingly, but everything from sex traffic is this comes with several victims. see the company who are failing to protect them from abuses, fleming, they were forced into prostitution. father, network usa depalma issues, a warning telling americans not to travel to russia, placing the country on the same risk as syria. you can get a song for reasons including suppose a terrorism. the group of british days had a cross party, led to belmont prison, and we stayed him on the right to visit wiki leaks cove. and to do a song, we hear from a former leader of the opposition,
7:01 pm
he was among those taking part. i've often spoken by jonathan in egypt and mexico into these yeah. in many other places, but something different. but judy and as long as i live from moscow, thanks for joining us tonight on our team financial. i'm daniel hawkins with util. sunrise. welcome to the program. that was a groundbreaking decision. the highest court in texas has rule that facebook can be held liable for knowingly, but everything from sex traffic has several victims recently sued, the world's biggest social network for failing to protect them from abuses has used the site to force them into prostitution as teenagers, senior correspondent, moral garcia, report. one of the girls suing facebook was 14, when a man of about 30 message to sunni methodically,
7:02 pm
he groomed her psychologically conditioned her for 2 years later, she would find herself in a motel room being raped by strangers floor and other girls also 14, the predator who groomed her advertise on instagram traffic is used instagram to arrange dates. as a result, plaintiff was raped numerous times for the plaintive rescue from the trafficking scheme. traffic has continued to use her profile to attempt the entrap of mine is in the same manner. painted some of the reports of these activities to facebook, which never responded the trio now suing facebook are an anomaly. many boys and girls. they never speak out because of fear because of a better estimate 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,
7:03 pm
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 occurs and facebook page books, lawyers shouts about section $230.00. so section $230.00 is a law which states that online platforms cannot be held responsible for the words or actions of the users, which makes sense if you shut down every website where someone says something offensive, there 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 as is one thing. and the federal precedent uniform it, it states that section $230.00 does not allow it's holding into that platform accountable for their own misdeeds. is quite another thing, this is particularly the case for human trafficking. what do you have to do with a trafficker messages?
7:04 pm
someone through direct messages have moderates is read every single private message that uses exchange. and facebook says that it's doing what it can. sex trafficking is of horns and not allowed on facebook. well, continue to fight against the spread of this content, and the predators who engage in it. except facebook really isn't putting up much of a fight, and the traffic isn't the p. the fall of using facebook much more brazen than you would think. plaintiff was 15 years old in 2012 when she was friend it by end of the facebook user, with whom she shared several mutual friends. the 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's platforms, which facebook ads and does approve and makes money on that go the argument that
7:05 pm
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 powerless 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 to 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 base book comes under so much hurt me because they have this powerful censorship apparatus is our brightest to monitor every little thing happening on their site. and they choose to ignore the really agree to stuff
7:06 pm
and go over the political things. they're too busy removing, mean jokes, and any sort of speech that sensitive delicate, like when people might find offensive when. meanwhile, there's actual crimes apparently occurring on their side. it's really bad, piano, facebook, and it's good reasons or, you know, parents see these stories. they're going to want their kids on instagram. facebook, rightly so. it's scary, spatial doesn't like press like this at all. they're, they're very scared of it. and especially where young people are concerned, they obviously want to young people and parents because they want to rope and young people. they want to get them hooked on these platforms and keep them to be lifelong users. so facebook is going to want to clean it up simply for p r. i would imagine us state department has issued a special travel alert warning, it citizens, not the head to russia under any circumstances. it 5, the whole host of reasons for that decision do not travel to russia due to terrorism, harassment, by russian government,
7:07 pm
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 . 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 the 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 containing reporting possible
7:08 pm
attacks in 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. at least an 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 a gas to stand 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 that. is it? obviously not, of course terrorism does happen in russia,
7:09 pm
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 level for threats, apparently, according to the state department of the mythical threat. 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 a terrorism investigation after police employee was stamped to death at a police station near paris. this is the 3rd terror attack in just over a month in french news tonight about the deadly terror attack outside of paris. perhaps we should point out that it's not that long ago that we're hearing about the term stable, unpredictable relations that bided ministration, seeing that's what they wanted with on from russia. how does that fit with these
7:10 pm
developments? well, basically it just flies in the face of everything, the, by the ministration has been saying the stuff we heard during the buying and some it. but it's not exactly surprising. sure. there's a lot of talk by this might administration 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 vitamins ration keep things stuff like this. we see a predictable, stable relationship with russia. we want to stable predictable relationship. we're 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
7:11 pm
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 threat. and relations 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 move also follows russia decisions of put the us on its list of on friendly countries along with the check republic. for the us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, says washington may say they want to stable relationship their actions the have to demonstrate that intention. clearly it's a political move because russia is not as dangerous as stan syria and another
7:12 pm
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 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
7:13 pm
so that there isn't going to be a war. so that's there's stability, so there isn't going to be attending 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, it 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 belmont prison, saw quite the crowd on tuesday, a number of m. p. 's joined supporters of judy, a songs for a protest outside the facility where we can count anything held the politicians hand in the cross party letter to the present, which they call out belmont. his refusal to meet him with songs. the protest comes off the main witness in the us case against the songs reported. he admitted giving false testimony in exchange for immunity from prosecution, from a former leader of the opposition. jeremy kobus,
7:14 pm
who was among those 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 campaigns prevent his extradition away from this country. julian spent years in ecuador and embassy, and 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 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
7:15 pm
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 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 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 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 of on such terrible things and we think he is a journalist of distinction. i've often spoken about jonathan in egypt lacking coward indonesia,
7:16 pm
in many other places. but suddenly it's all different judy and challenges too. so i don't think he has. 7 spoken the truth about what has happened around the world. the biggest, at a court case against pharmaceutical giants is underway in the us drug makers accused of aggravating the countries opiate 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, 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. want to farmers joint won't be at the father . johnson and johnson has agreed to $230000000.00 out of court settlement with new york. that was part of that deal. it will settle related claims over the next 9 years and stop selling in america. the company insist that it's not our mission of
7:17 pm
wrong doing as it hasn't sold opioids since 2015. now, the good crisis that's been blamed on johnson johnson and the other drug makers who wilson trial has caused huge suffering in the country. now, almost half a 1000000 people have fallen victim to the crisis. and joseph johnson is accused of over prescribing drugs and causing addiction something the company denies it says it distributed only the required about people with medical issues. luc jane asked heads an organization that helps drug addicts recover. he believes compensation 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,
7:18 pm
but in the spread of the contagion throughout the society. so is $230000000.00 adequate? absolutely not a country in crisis vaughn and once again or up on the streets of columbia, the national strike, the ground, the nation to a whole week through the 2 month mark story. i'm more off of the break. ah ah, with me
7:19 pm
ah ah ah, in the after the inviting some european leaders such as germany's merkel and france's macro called for renew 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. the welcome. in the knees is on the verge of a code catastrophe. that's according to the red cross. infection rates are skyrocketing with more than 60000 new cases reported in the past 3 days. a local
7:20 pm
health system is said 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 job with my mother get sick about 2 days ago they brought her to a hospital after her condition got worse. last night, her condition worse and. and she passed away me if you were paying environment bureau has
7:21 pm
brian on the eve, new green law of foss, the legislation obliges a block to become a net 0 emissions economy by 2050 barbara marianna. from the bureau. explain why that target she believes will not be met 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 like you to try to august. then you also resist the and, and you sort of provision setting a clear deadline for subsidies last several elements. if one really you know where we start to go with the volume and so was cushion 4 feet hales and land law climate change rule. the 27 nations in the book must collectively splash greenhouse gas emission by 55 percent by 20 good teeth compared to the levels in the 1990s. quite 2015 to become
7:22 pm
a net 0 emissions economy. now the deal was approved by all expect, guerria, which saying thing, the final compromise did not reflect that national position. but while everyone else is totally on board, that doesn't mean that they are all happy about it. the common utility dog is not binding. a national level is a big is a big obstacle and we are hearing some of our members saying that in check with people saying it climb 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, a routine responsibility on others. sure. nurse without really looking
7:23 pm
into how to be club when i've, when all the phones that are available today, also putting a big black pull 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 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 taishan of e u. agriculture policy. that farmers bout 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 the 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
7:24 pm
a breakthrough on global climate action. but since then, the promise is laid out in the treaty have fallen by the wayside. they see the host nation about summit from from cutie pie kuda 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 just a day off confronting a british navy war ship that said to have sailed close to his territory, rushes reveal, it was forced to the same thing again. is fine with a dutch frigate. russia ministry of defense lame is a ship called evanson, had diverted from its course and begun sailing toward the straight up the coast of crimea. russia scramble, 40 jets and bombers to intercept the vessel. and other than the cues,
