piano almost every quarter got to like, look back, look forward. where are we in all this crazy world we live in the, the highest court in texas rules. facebook is liable for nothing, but everything from sex traffic of this comes with several victims through the company. failing to protect them from abuses, i mean, they were forced into prostitution. why the network? us state department issues, a warning telling americans not to travel for russia, placing the country on the seamless syria, uganda. and i've got a song for reasons including suppose terrorism the group of british champagne had across the hall. he led to belmont prison in which they demand the right to visit wikileaks, co founder, julia an assange. here from a former leader of the opposition, it was among those taking part. so i've often spoken to about gender

age if to mexico and indonesia, in many other places. but suddenly it's all different. my junior college is concerned. i lived for most of them for joining us in either teams and i should lie, daniel hawkins, will util. sunrise. welcome to the program. and when a groundbreaking decision, the highest court in texas has rule that facebook can be held liable for knowingly benefiting from sex traffic is federal victims. recently sued the world's biggest social network for failing to protect them from abuses who use the site to force them into prostitution as teenagers, or senior correspondent, more garcia report. one of the girls suing facebook was 14, when a man of about 30 message to sunni methodically, he groomed her psychologically conditioned her for 2 years later,

she would find herself in a motel room being grave by strangers or another 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 to entrap the mind is in the same manner. plaintiff's mother reports these activities to facebook, which never responded. the trio now suing facebook are and normally many boys and girls. never speak out because of fear because of aberice meant and shame. they could be your kids, my kids defenseless, against a bedroom, predator who prays on psychologically vulnerable. kids news, their weaknesses, the amount of sex traffic is 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 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 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 uniformity. it states that section $230.00 does not allow it's holding incident 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 trafficking is apparent and not allowed on facebook. with 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 traffic isn't the p that fall using facebook. a 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 buy up advertisement on facebook's platforms, which facebook apps and does approve and makes money on. now go the argument that facebook is complicit in under age sex trafficking. se lewis representing the

victims and the courts agree. we do not understand section $230.00, to create a lawless, no man's land on the internet, in which state the powerless to impose liability on websites that knowingly or intentionally participate in the evil of online human trafficking. if the case succeeds, facebook and other online johns will have a much tougher tab of hiding behind pieces of paper with section $230.00 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. 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 agree just stuff and go over the political things to 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 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 people are concerned, they obviously want to forms and keep them to the lifelong users. so facebook is going to want to clean it up. it's simply for p r. i would imagine us state farm out of issued a special travel of that warning and citizens not to head to russia under any circumstances. it sites a whole host. the reason for that decision do not travel to russia due to terrorism, harassment, by russian government security officials. the emphasis limits with 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, the state department terrorists are literally around every corner here in russia. terrorist groups, trans national and local terrorist organizations, and individuals inspire my extremist ideology, continues reporting possible 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 stance, syrian 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, 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 attack settings, killings. they're not coming most of the time from russia. they're coming from countries like the u. s. the u. k. in germany, france. yet somehow, none of these countries have been designated as a 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 open to terrorism investigation. after a police employee was stab to death at the 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 and from russia. how does that fit with these developments? well, basically just flies in the face of everything by demonstration has been saying the stuff we heard during the buying proofs 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, no 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 powerful and proud countries. relationship that 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 is 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 u. s. constantly finding and making up reasons to describe russia as the bad guy in a bad place. the move also follows russia decisions and put us on his own list of unfriendly countries alongside of republic. when we us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, says washington may say they want a stable relationship or actions have yet to demonstrate that intent. well, clearly it's a political move because russia is not this dangerous. is afghans dance, 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 this 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 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 persons maximum security belmore jail saw quite the crowd on tuesday, a number of m p. 's join supporters of judy and a songs for protest outside the facility where the weekly co founder is currently being held. the politicians handed across the letter to the prison in which they called out bel marsh's refusal to what our meeting with a sons approach comes off. the main witness in the us case against the songs reports only admitted given false testimony in exchange for immunity. from prosecution we heard from the former leader of the you can position jeremy kobus who was among those 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 n 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 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 se london belmont is to ask 2 questions. one is the government. we consider her decision to refuse a private meeting. 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 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 jonathan. 2 in egypt and coward indonesia and many other places. but suddenly, what julian challenges to, i don't think he has spoken the truth about what has happened around the world.

the biggest that a court case against pharmaceutical giant sees on the way in the u. s. drug makers found a key to aggravating the country 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. 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 former joint won't be at and follow johnson and johnson as agree to $230000000.00 out of court settlement with new york . as part of that deal, it will settle related claims over the next 9 years and stop selling opioids in america. the company insist so that this isn't an admission of guilt as it hasn't sold opioids since 2015. well, they are good crisis that's being blame on johnson and johnson, and the other drug makers who will stand trial has caused huge suffering in the

country. over half a 1000000 people have died, j n. j is accused of prescribing drugs and causing addiction something the company denies. it says it distributed only the required about 2 people with medical issues, luca jane asked, i have an organization that helps drug addicts recover. he believes compensation to 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 it's $230000000.00. adequate? absolutely not. in the headlines in the knees is on the verge of

a cobra catastrophe. that's according to the red cross infection rates of skyrocketing with more than 60000 new cases reported in the past 3 days. the local health system is said to be at breaking point me the hours 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 got sick about 2 days ago. they brought her to a hospital after her condition got worse. last night condition worse and, and she passed away. ah,

see here a pain environment bureau has branded the use new green law a fos, the legislation obliges the block to become a net 0 emissions economy by 2050 waldrum, mariani from the bureau. explain the why that target she believes will not be met to 5 because the real mission will actually 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 last several elements. if one really, you know 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

19942015 to become a net 0 emissions economy. now the deal was approved by all expect, 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 who dog is not buying 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 that. com and you're trying to get for you is not for us. so we don't have to bother. so, you know, this is exactly the kind of dynamics which will not take us to climate neutrality because there is a sort of, you know, to say within the response we've, you know, there is sure nurse without really looking into how to

be club when i've, 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 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 to 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 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 a series of empty slogans with big agribusiness as usual or in many cases, a deterioration of the status quo. there's also

a sense of things y'all were back in 2015. the parish agreement was seen as a breakthrough on global climate action. but since then, the promise is laid out in the treaty have fallen by the wayside. the host nation of that summit from, from beauty 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 sky r t, paris. just a day of confronting a british navy warship that said, of sale close to his territory, russia has reveal it was 4th through the same thing again. this time with a dutch frigate. russia is ministry defense claims the ship, coolie evans and had diverted from its course and began. failing toward the coach, straight off the coast of crimea. russia scrambled farther jets and bombers to intercept the vessel netherlands as to the plains of harassing the evanson in

international waters. turkeys president has lost the construction of a controversial new canal in his time bull. it will run west of the city and is expected to be completed with an for the year. one said the canal will be a source of pride for the turkish people. projects racing concerns though over its environmental and economic costs. 9, the price tag is estimated at $15000000000.00 will link the black c and c of mama, 6 bridges, and all the span of 45 kilometers long. ruth. the projects designed to ease traffic and reduce the risk of accidents in the boss for a straight one of the. well, the busiest shipping lines critics have questioned whether turkey will apply the montreaux convention. so the canal the convention signed to back in 1936 said this is an international agreement that regulates the vessel transit through the boss

for us and daughter, l. straits and guarantees free passage for civilian vessels and restricts naval ships not belonging to black sea states. everyone has said he isn't planning to quit the treaty, but wouldn't hesitate to review any agreements to get a better deal for turkey in the future. middle east on last time i walk off is concerned. banker is 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 fresher. 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, and need to oriented operation whereby suddenly 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. we don't have to leave up to 21 days. then you know, would 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 are those on the streets of the colombian capital lab, once again clashed with police, is the latest sky. i'm sure the national strike, if it's now dragged on for 2 months. illustrate hasn't been demanding an end to police repression. and ruth and branch reform of social policy the, the the capable in golden rule is jim

on students to start the wave of social protest that have swept across colombia, hundreds of people to, to the streets with a long list of demands from the country's government cooling for a better life for everyone, the same much has been achieved him on controversial health care reforms was prep, a government minister, the head of the foreign ministry, as well as the chief of police all resigned to the camel. so why today? 2 months later, people are still in the streets, which i think that it's necessary to continue resistance. despite the joint committee held negotiations with the government, the government has refused to speak with the people on the street. know that there was a game of the keeper care because in addition to that, but you need to press all projects for multiple action. allow us to help people who live on the street and returns and are not able to get an indication. but maria was in the one with us. we will stay on the streets because we do not have

a good enough livelihood, love and do not have enough help from the government. or we want to allow ourselves to continue to be robbed in such a shameless way and in the screen. we continue to fight because our country needs a society in the community. also needs stability in order to achieve tolerance for quality and make our country a better place. more protests in columbia begin early this morning. in the city of medicine a few hours ago, there was reported the forceful intervention by law enforcement agency to this past protest. there was also information about several mass demonstrations in some areas of the city, like you can see here in the north, the capital, the just a few days ago, which was here that hundreds of people took to the streets and protest. know the situation has changed, in particular, due to the restrictions and post in the city, in order to protect the population and get around of ours. be on the, on the 20th of july, columbus independence day, congress will behave. and another day of nationwide protest is expected to install
