if that countries been to be in a position to adequately protect that information, the u. s. isn't on the approved list, but all facebook use a data passes through the country. in an email, the company said it always takes data protection seriously. updated our page and says, supplement and clarify the responsibility of facebook and website operators at the end of 2019 questions related to the transparency of data processing. we're taking into consideration into lower expert on social media solicitor cohen said the way the issue was solved in the past by russell's was to ignore it. there's nothing due about about the inability almost of, of a facebook, for example, to comply with you previously. lo, it is just impossible for them to do, but so far, your governments have been turning a blind eye, a g d p. r is based on, on a single way of handling personal data across the board.

in the united states, on the other hand, the, the laws of privacy are, are left largely to individual states. to legislation. there is no kind of broad view taken is to privacy law. in fact, there isn't really a right to privacy in the united states. it's just, it's just goes perhaps against again, that constitution. boom bus is coming up next for us. few, it's about his lawyer. we're back in half an hour with the latest join us again, them the imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. what other chapters

this is been been the one business show you can't afford to miss. i'm rachel robbins in washington, coming up. victims of a devastating con, no collapse in florida are already starting to file lawsuit. we'll take a look at the urgent warning signs and why no action was taken plot. while ways chief financial officer uses washington of making out right false claims, in their case against her as she continues to fight extradition from canada to the us. a veteran judge is giving the fcc a 2nd chance to go out to facebook, but what lead the consequences over claims as a social media giant violated antitrust law. we have a lot to get to so let's get started. the collapse of a residential building near miami has resulted in at least 16 confirmed desk with nearly 150 people still unaccounted for. as search efforts continue around, the clock lawsuits have already started to poor. it was survivors accusing the

condo association of knowing that such a devastating collapse was eminent and refusing to take the action to prevent it. archie is john honey is on the ground in surfside, florida with the latest well as the death toll continues to increase and sadly, i know this is grim, but that will likely be the case in the coming hours and days and even weeks ahead . but as the death toll increases the investigation into what caused the collapse of the 12 stories of the champlain tower south building, just over my shoulder behind me here, is really in its beginning stages and is increasing in intensity involving not only local, but also state. and federal officials that according to the mayor of miami dade county who spoke earlier, here's what she had to say. listen, i've been in close contact with our state attorney, kathy fernandez rental and her office will be spearheading. we hope she'll be asking the grand jury to do an investigation into the collapse. we're going to get inputs and develop a set of recommendations for changes that need to be made here in the building

process at the local level. to ensure that this tragedy can never ever happen again, that process will not only evolve, taking a look at the county's own rules and regulations and ordinances, but also probably statewide regulations having to do with building construction and the recertification process. and as the investigation continues into this building, as you can imagine, all the other buildings in this area are being that very closely as well, including, of course, the other champlain towers, buildings, champlain towers, north and champlain towers east just basically to the left my right camera left my right of the champlain tower south building. now, earlier i spoke with the residents of those buildings, one of whom lives in the champlain east building. he says that was built in 1994 and he said it close to a dozen engineers and inspectors have been on site every single day for the past

week. he says, the residence there had been given a quote unquote big thumbs up. told that the building is structurally sound that they can remain there, but we're also hearing that some residents have opted to leave to go to family, to friends, or to be put up by the various charitable organizations as the investigation process continues. not only champlain tower south, but again of some of the neighboring buildings that said, president joe biden is expected here on thursday to not only look at the site to see the damage, but to also meet with the victims family members to provide them with some prayers to, to just be there to comfort them representing of course, the united states of america as the search basically process and the search and rescue operation and remains a service search and rescue operation. as that continues florida governor ron to santa saying he will not in the state, the federal authorities will not leave any one behind. but clearly this is a catastrophe that certainly had many factors leading up to it. and it's just a very grim and terrible situation for the community and for florida and america as

a whole. in surfside, john had a party. joining me now to go further in depth on this is sarah pap, antonio, associate attorney at 11 papa tonia rafferty. now, sarah, the 1st lawsuit was filed less than 24 hours after the building collapse, asking for compensation for all of the victims involved. there are likely to be many others filed, but the biggest accusation here is that the condo association knew that there was significant damage to the building and didn't address it. do these victims appear to have enough evidence to prove negligence in this case? yeah, you know, here it looks like the point us had everything we need to move forward in this stage in 2018. you have an engineering company telling us homeowner's association that there are major structural damages. that there is abundant cracks in the structure. then you've got an investigator telling the h away that they're looking at $8.00 to $9000000.00 in damages. but not only that,

2 years later, in 2020, we re re estimated those damages and they re estimated the structural damage to be $12.00 to $15000000.00 in repairs. so we absolutely have multiple instances where the h o a was notified of these issues, you know, for years at this time. and that's what lost, it's like this come down to did the defendants know about the issue before it came a problem? and that's absolutely clear. in this case, so we've got enough to move forward on that. yeah, no certainly seems like this was almost just hiding in plain sight that this was something that was talked about, but action just wasn't taken. now i want to touch on that engineering port report. you mention that warned about severe structural damage back in 2018 and that even talked about a possible collapse of the building altogether. but we saw just one month after that, a surfside town inspector met with residence and assured them that the building was

in very good shape and that they had nothing to worry about. so is it possible that we could even see criminal charges filed surrounding this collapse? you know, in this case, i think anything's possible, but i don't think we have enough to fall those criminal charges just yet, because that's in the criminal in the criminal realm. we've got a level of culpability that you have to reach in order to bring those charges. and as it stands right now, i just don't think we have enough information to raise that. now as we start uncovering the documents, in this case, that's when we learn whether or not there was any type of cover up, or if there's any type of just shady ness involved to this situation. but right now, we just don't know enough to bring those charges, and the hope is that eventually everything will come to light. now, when it comes to cases where damages identified like this one, how much of a responsibility does say the condo association, have to not only notify those residents, but also to pursue repairs in the interest of safety. while the h away,

the homeowners association has their duty here. they've got the duty to maintain the structure of the building, the duty to be aware problems with the building and then the ultimate duty to fix those problems. so what i think happened here is the h away pushed off all of these issues for as long as they can. and that's because miami requires that all buildings that are 40 years or older, go over what we call inspection process or re certification process. so this building was right on the edge of that 40 year mark in 2018 when they got that notice of the structural damage. so i think what we're going to see is that the h away was given this $9000000.00 tab of bills for repairs and said, hey, let's just push it off until we absolutely have to until like, 2021 mark. when we hit that 40 year requirement to do the re certification, so as more and more information comes out as more documents come out, i really think we're going to see the h away. in this case, just pushing off the repairs for as long as possible in order to save money in the long run. while this truly is a shocking and tragic case all around,

but we will continue to follow sarah pop antonio. thank you for your time and side on this one. thank you. the vine administration says it is just around the corner from passing a one trillion dollar infrastructure package after it was given the green light by a group of bipartisan senators. but by then travels the country promoting the plan . many have been quick to note that the new compromise doesn't include some of the hallmark provisions that were originally promised by the democrats in power. and its success is still not guaranteed. so joining me now to discuss the latest is professor richard wolf, post of economic update and author of the thickness is the system. now, professor, the plan seems to be to pass a traditional package with funding for public transportation, roads, water and power right now. but to keep fighting for what they call human infrastructure funding later on, why do you think we're seeing more?

why do you think we're not seeing more of a fight from democrats on measures such as pe, leave childcare and climate change. when we know that they are the ones who hold the majority, well, i think you are seeing kind of political horse trading of the sort that is unfortunately, very common is levels of our government and you're seeing, it's tragic. the economy is in very serious trouble. it has been for the last decade, we had a crash in 2020. we've had the cold it disaster making our problems even greater. it was clear that even donald trump understood you have to spend massive amounts of government money to keep this economy going. i do not exaggerate when i say to people, this is a capitalist economic system on life support from the government in the form of

money. and that's because everybody who pays attention knows that they need to spend the massive amounts of money. the irony is, the republicans are making that very difficult for mr. biden. to do so, he compromises. he scales it down. the irony here is, and it's politically dynamite. if they don't go ahead and do things, if they keep postponing as your correct introduction, it is not doing half of the things they promised and saying they'll come later. the longer they weigh, the longer they cut the amounts of money, the less support they give to the government. and here's the irony. when that comes do, when people are not getting the support they need, the republicans will blame the democrats because they are in power for having done that. and that's the one to punch that the democrats are looking like. they're walking into that trap. yeah, it really does seem like whenever it comes to this,

it's not only politics as usual, but it's also the blame game as usual. now, even with compromises and all of this back and forth between democrats or republicans, there is still guarantee that this plan will actually path. and you know, it's interesting because congress doesn't seem to have any problems when it comes to agreeing to say, $700000000000.00 defense spending bill. so why does it take so much for them to agree on the most basic infrastructure proposals that would impact every american well give you another example, which only strengthens your point in december of 2017, the united states congress and the president gave corporations and the wealthiest amongst us, the biggest tax cut in the history, they didn't need, it, hadn't even asked for it. they were just given certain things in our political system are given, the defense budget tax cuts to corporations and the rich. what the minute you go to

try to do something on a mass basis to help everybody. a fear goes up in the minds of corporations and the rich, namely that sooner or later the bill for those things will raise their taxes and their so committed not to have that happen, that they blocked the very infrastructure, spending family support spending all the rest of it that the democrats traditionally support as an economist, let me tell you, this is self defeating. this is shooting yourself in the foot. if you don't support the basic economy that will come back to her corporations and the rich a lot more than whatever taxes they may say. yeah, exactly, and now we're seeing the evidence of that all playing out, especially at a time when the u. s. is now facing its worst route in 1200 years. taxes in

california are already issuing energy conservation warnings to their residence. and now all of a sudden major u. s. companies are voicing concerns about water scarcity. i know you mentioned big corporations there, but is this a case where it's going to take those corporations being hurt by the impact they're having on the environment on the country for any meaningful change to actually take place? sadly, that's the way this country seems to work and it ends up making us wait too long and doing too little. so as we, when you go to a doctor, he tells you, come sooner when something hurts. so it doesn't get worse before you come and get medical attention. it's the same with nomic, attention. corporations have been using the water in the west for decades. the crisis of water coming has been spoken about by, by ecologists, by water specialists for decades to little bit like hearing about that report. a 2

or 3 years ago about the building that fell in miami. we know what the problems are, but the ability to take action is hampered by financial issues by profit concerns. and the bottom line is that's a mistake and set of values we give out more when we don't respect nature and the water, then we gain in the extra profits. but our profit driven system works the way it does and presents us with these sand pictures such as those years show. great insight as always professor richard wall. thank you for your time. thank you. while way executive main ones though is back in court in canada this week, her defense team is promising to turn her high profile case on its head with a set of documents that they hope will help her to avoid extra addition to the us are cheese alex hi lavette. ch. how's the story?

as a record breaking heat wave begins to cool and the canadian province of british columbia . a high profile court case is promising to heat up. according to wally cfo, ming one shows defense team this week. documents tied to hsbc will be introduced in the court proceedings showing that the us meet selective, misleading, an outright false claims in regard to minx canadian expedition hearing to the united states. according to a u. s. justice department, 13 accountant document ming, his charge with bank fraud, wire fraud and conspiracies to commit bank in wire fraud. the 49 year old war way cfo was detained by canadian officials in december of 2018 at the request of the us government during the trump administration. since then, she has been dragged through the canadian courts for years, fighting extradition to the u. s. which wants her to face charges abroad. and conspiracy in relation to allegations that she lied to an h. s. b. c. executive in hong kong in 2013 about wally's control of a subsidiary sky. com,

which is accused of violating us sanctions against the ran. now her defense team says that they have more than 300 pages of internal mail chains and bank documents from hsbc that undermined the allegations against ming. the documents which to this point have been out of the view of the public, were obtained from hsbc through hong kong court, months ago. and according to the defense fallen line with what while way has been claiming for years. here is former vice president for media affairs for while wake canada benjamin house, back in may, 2019. the criminal case against miss munger is based on allegations that are simply untrue. to the contrary, it was made clear that the business activities by miss mung, were conducted openly and transparently with the full knowledge of bank officials. according to an official statement obtained by rti from war way. these documents,

consisting of emails and other hsbc records show, there is no evidence of fraud on h s b c. they show that while we control over sky. com was not kept from senior hsbc executives that the continuing nature of scott comes business with wal way. any ran was not kept from senior hsbc executives that internal hsbc risk assessments were made based on knowledge of the true facts and that any reputational risks were managed with the knowledge of senior hsbc executives. both main and war weight and deny allegations that she misled hsbc about why we control over sky. com, putting the bank at risk of violating us sanctions against the ran government attorneys are expected to argue that the hsbc documents should not be a part of the canadian court record. contending that the information is more suited for a trial rather than an expedition hearing. the proceedings are expected to wrap up in august for our t. i'm alex, mileage time now for a quick break,

but when we come back, a federal judge is giving the f t c a 2nd chance and its anti trust case against facebook. we'll take a look at how the latest decision could impact the social media giant. next, and as we go to break your, the numbers out the clothes shoes me after the biden summit, 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.

i don't think they can't ride on police reported in december 2020 a group of anti finishes. fill out a film crew access for 3 months. and people, organization, it's an idea that must be a po, that channel out the gate. they may come with their faces, but they can say what they believe in, we believe and help our community. we believe that fascism is one of the major threats to the united states has gotten driven. this is a john to see who and teeth are really are. in order for me. my 1st amendment right? my life matter. i have to be onto the thesis market. we can't trust the police, we can't trust the government. we can't trust anyone except ourselves to protect ourselves in there's a concept that can almost moral hazard. and that is that if you constantly bail out

the worst factors in the economy, they will act with morality. and so the fact is they've got moral hazard steroids. they're rewarding the worst factors who are doing things like info and stealing hundreds of billions of dollars. some people and just drawing their own country in trees. and the fact i argue with me go ahead, try the it's been called the sat back for both state and federal prosecutors. after a judge dismiss 2 major complains, filed against facebook, the allegations that the world's largest social media giant violated anti trust laws are really nothing new, but the latest decision is raising questions about whether any action will be taken

against the company anytime soon. so joining me now to discuss this on our fox professor of law at new york university. now professor the judge is actually giving the federal trade commission a 2nd chance to file an amended complaint within the next 30 days. with proof that their, of their claim that facebook has monopoly power. so how likely is this complaint to move forward and what does the judge seem to be looking for here? hi, rachel, and thanks for the question. so it really was a setback that the judge dismissed both cases. and as for the federal trade commission case, the court said that with all the allegations, the federal trade commission put in its complaint, the judge didn't think that there were enough allegations so that he could infer that facebook has a monopoly power. and that's one of the 2 stages that the f t c must get over to in

the case, the 1st one being monopoly power, the 2nd being illegal conduct. so yes, it's nice for the f t c that they have a 2nd chance. and i believe they turn the ledge to show that facebook has monopoly power. but the big thing is, how can a judge dismiss a comply? just because he doesn't think that there are sufficient allegations to prove that facebook has monopoly power? i think the whole world knows that facebook has dominant power and our law is so conservative that it puts the plaintiff to burdens of proof that sometimes it just kept me. yeah, and it was interesting to hear that from the judge in a way you're wondering if he's actually trying to help out the f tc by telling them, hey, this is what you need for your argument. but then at the same time, you're also wondering about why he said, when he said now what was also interesting was at the stage complaint over facebook

acquisition of instagram in 2012 and what's up and 2014 was also dismissed. and the judge said it was because a group of 48 state attorneys general waited too long. now, if there was such a broad consensus that facebook was violating the law, why do you think they waited so long to take action? i actually think the judge's decision is a bum rap. it became clear only much more recently than those acquisitions that facebook had a very specific plan to gobble up its competitors and potential competitors and budding competitors. it even has a software program to identify the startups that would most likely to be competitive with facebook. and it became very clear only recently that this was facebook plan. so, look for this states did not know this information at the time. the acquisitions

who are 1st looked at by the government and in my view they ought to be able to bring their claim to day and not be precluded by this doctrine says you wait too long and now you can to yeah, that's a good point as well. especially when you think about the fact that facebook wasn't quite advertising. now, whenever they were making these acquisitions. of course, now this information is finally coming to light. and you know, we've seen some movement on anti trust reform legislation in the house. and they include provisions that could force the breakup of companies like amazon and apple that use their market place to also sell their own products. is, is a case where the current anti trust laws need to be updated to include today's technology, or is the law clear, but it's just not being enforced by the government. the law is not so and clear the law is very, very pro defendant. the law says we just have to give

a whole lot of slack to firms, even if they're dominant monopoly firms, because what they do is so likely to help competition and consumers and result in innovation. so yes, the law has to be changed. it is too conservative, it does not address our current problems. excellent points we consider here, professor eleanor fox. thank you so much for your time today. thanks, rachel. the next big alice. he auction is a true piece of internet history. luxury auction house, other bees just sold a non fungible token for the original source code for the world wide web. the n f t includes nearly 10000 lines of code from internet founder tim berners lee, including h t m l h t t p. and you are, i, the winner also gets original documents telling early users how to use the world wide web and is now the owner of
