hello, expectation to life. i accepted death. accept the fact that my dad's work. we had no fears. dow change pre fast 4 shots. different stories behind the bullets with facebook accused spreading hates and weakening democracy by whistleblower. they revelations at e or senator in on his thought contrast to just a few years ago when social media platforms were hailed for bringing about the out of spring. energy crisis deepens with italy, bearing the brunt reco gas prices have left many unable to pay the bills. would you tell me, i am really shocked. i'm aware of what is going on, and i have to say we are upset, an absolute shame the italian state, instead of protecting its citizens, does exactly the opposite. it has raised the tariffs of goods such as electricity and gas, what a shame and history of the making
5:01 pm
a russian film crew arrives at the international space station tonight, the 1st ever feature length film in space. we discussed in precedent judgements with a russian cosmonaut as far as i know that there were motivated, they have no choice except to successfully handle white than space that professional uses the shooting. ah, it's a joining, is this a big this is auntie international. weakening democracy by spreading hatred in division. those are the charges leveled at facebook by a whistleblower. the former employees been testifying for us senate tearing up to leaking documents about how the company operates. hey, spoke exploited teens. do you think that teams are profitable for their company? i would assume so those dangerous algorithms that they admit are picking up the,
5:02 pm
the stream sentence, the division, their product. it is often destructive. facebook's products, harm, children, stroke division and weak in our democracy. the damage to self interest and self worth of inflicted by facebook to day will haunt a generation. it is pulling families apart. and in places like ethiopia, it's literally fanning ethnic violence. it's very different picture from just a few years ago when platforms like facebook and twitter were being loaded for bringing democracy to the arab world during the arab spring. social media play a role. social media is much broader than sending a $144.00 characters or twitter, or updating your stows posts on facebook. those are useful. you're giving facebook a lot of credit for this. for yeah, for sure. i want to me look at that one day and thank him. actually indeed, social media did have some very pronounced impacts on the arab spring. let discuss
5:03 pm
the change of opinion towards facebook without a contributed nicko house. it does seem a little bit peculiar that in 2011 with countries like tenicia libby on egypt. facebook was not only the celebrated for put like for helping spread the news about the process. but the algorithm seemed to be a perpetuating the protests and propelling them for that millions of people are able to react to notice what was going on. now interestingly enough, about 3 of those countries to protest there actually benefited united states interests. so what it seems like is on the like, now that the script has been flipped 10 years later. censorship actually benefits the united states. so i guess you could say it's pro democracy, i guess if you wanna call facebook, you know, a democratic institution, i guess you could call it that because the government seems to be on the side of censorship. facebook as readily pushes the ship. is it a very different base these days? what it was years ago does less freedom of conversation, freedom of exchange,
5:04 pm
freedom of discourse. ah, there seems to be no consistent application of rules or principles or guidelines on any of these platforms. and i would say that at least on the surface now, it looks like the government, at least her opinions have much more influence. i mean, just a couple of weeks ago jim pa sack, he was actually saying that it was time to come down harder on facebook and regulate them more fast forward this whistleblower who's actually represented by a firm that the sac he actually worked for. or as a senior advisor, not even, not even a year ago, kids now frankly sitting in front of the senate after going on 60 minutes, i'm getting a lot of air time. so i would say at the bare minimum, what it looks like is there is a lot of coordination going on behind the scenes in one way or another that everybody seems to be involved in, except for the people who are most afflicted by which i would say is the average working class individual and maybe potentially activists organizes and protesters a do you think you ask of an festival? has it, has it the powers at its disposal to, to limit to rain in facebook?
5:05 pm
i think the thing that they need to do the rain facebook in is to hold them to the standards of a publisher. ah. whereas enable escaping a lot of accountability for the for the how they selectively apply their rules. i like their editorial list on what date, but the federal government hadn't done anything about it. now on the other side of that fence, they do have the capability, the force in the sensor more to what it does seem like they've had to. they fit every time. one of these is, this is happened. facebook seems to sensor more on their own. so even though they have the power, they haven't exercised it and they've been able to get face with the kind of do what they want more and more without ever having to hold them accountable. any legal matter without the hearing us senators have been clear, congress must make use of more regulation against facebook and the social media platforms. if they won't act and a big tech won't act, congress hasta intervene, co urgent. it is for congress to act against powerful tech
5:06 pm
companies. we should consider narrowing this sweeping immunity when platforms algorithms amplified illegal conduct. we spoke to audi has been sworn on the topic of the congressional hearing. i think that this entire, oh, facebook whistleblower story has been created. it's been crafted. i'm not saying that in authentic, i think this woman certainly worked for facebook friends, a hug, and she, she worked for facebook. she did collect documents at their internal research. but what's happened is there's been a slow trickle of this information, 1st of the wall street journal, now to 60 minutes, and then of course in front of congress. and the, the goal here is to take all this and to share this. i agree with the concept that companies like facebook are doing a poor job of regulating themselves of obviously these, you know, documents that show instagram and that the effect it's having on teams and, and young girls, especially when it comes to their mental health. those are all very concerning,
5:07 pm
but what is the directed outcome of this? so for instance, what jim saki is saying, what this facebook whistleblower, who's testifying the same, what they're essentially saying is government needs to get involved and government needs to decide what content is allowed. and not allowed on social media in order to make it the word they like to use. safe problem is, is that there are so many tens of millions of americans who do not believe that government is trying to keep them safe. but instead, trying to manipulate them and push political messages on to them should social media b, a, a public square where people are allowed to get up and speak and into voice their opinions and their worldviews and where rigorous debate can take place. as you would have in the public square or is social media supposed to be contrived and control to the point where a few government entities and bureaucrats decide what is acceptable thought and acceptable belief. and i think that's the real core problem here. when government bureaucracy decides what is dangerous and what is not in the public interest,
5:08 pm
it breeds all kinds of corruption. and it reads a situation where the average person doesn't have a right to speak or to think in any kind of public spirit. i think that's hugely problematic. natural gas prices are still edging up in europe after hitting an old time. reco. italy is one of the worst effected with gas. they're accounting for more than half the countries residential energy consumption. people have been hit by soaring bills and failure. it's just the beginning or determined. i am really shocked, i'm aware of what is going on, and i have to say we are upset, an absolute shame the italian state, instead of protecting its citizens, does exactly the opposite. instead of saving the citizens already condemned by the cove and the pandemic. despite this general economic crisis, it has raised the tariffs of goods such as electricity and gas. what a shame, the increase in electricity, gas, and petrol is 40 percent. i would say it is too much. many people have lost their
5:09 pm
jobs. many people have been penalized by the pandemic will have great difficulties . it will not be easy. what a drama about the future i see is quite bleak, negative. i would say that if things do not improve, there is a real risk of a social revolt. people are tired if they can't even pay these bills, things will get worse and worse, there are basic goods. you can't pay for gas or electricity that much. i fear that very bad things could happen. people could become violent from them. oh, the italy, the will serve largest consumer of gas importing. it was 91 percent of all it says is the government's warned. consumers could be hit hard in their focus. foreign minister announced 3000000000 euros with the subsidies to keep bills and down this winter. they expose water won't be enough. money, locals on far more drastic action, a ground over. i bet you what i mean. the government should increase subsidies for the people. i mean, it should help people who has no money or what i should make a policy not to raise these rates. but i know it's too late now. it's just
5:10 pm
a very difficult situation or whatever. we only have one salary and we will have to make many financial sacrifices, nor it will not be easy. we are very worried. we will have to give up little things that maybe we did before, like going out for dinner and some holidays and some gaps. we'll have to give it up, but i'm to pay for these increases thought bears, but unfortunately, we can't do anything, alvarado, not the country hit hard by soaring gas prices, his poland, which only refused to prolong his gas supply contract with russia. the polish govern hopes to cover his needs with gas samples from norway, as well as liquefied natural gas supplies from qatar and america. in the meantime, pulse having to do with a steady rise in their bills on equal frost bichon. but the dish is the 2nd increase this year and a significant one. people on average or lower income will truly fail it. i feel angry because there are more increases to come with rights to grow up in january and in spring of the lower gas prices, what hunger is prime minister did looks like solutions. he just signed a long term deal with gas prom signing with russia's cause promise beneficial
5:11 pm
compared with the deal way in poland. tough with the us for shale gas of russian gases compared to the stable in supply more abundant and cheaper. we don't have a plan to make a deal with gas problems, so prices will remain high. it's about political move at the moment. we lock energy security. bringing new meaning to the term star studded cas stay russian film cruise. dr. the international space station, the hoping to get the 1st ever feature length movie shutting time in space. obviously. spacecraft crew members to better steps on board. the i cecilia to day r t. s. dental courteously. any yes, i use m. s. 19 just successfully docked at the international space station after blasting off from the bike and or cosmo jerome and kaz extend early on tuesday. now as you can see on your screen, this is the docking procedure taking place. usually it's done by an automatic docking system, but this time the commander of the flight and the actress on board took manual control to complete the procedure for part of a film that they're,
5:12 pm
that they're filming. now before the launch of the rocket, we heard from the commander at a press. 2 conference he talked a little bit about what it's going to take to accommodate these new crew members about aboard the international space station was a better been cut up with the spacecraft has been reconfigured for it to be managed without an on board engineer. but i think that as soon as we get to the space station, a lot will change there because we've got so much vital equipment for shooting the movie. a lot of photo video equipment, lights, et cetera. the international space station will be transformed significantly. the russian unit will turn into a film set for these 2 weeks. now, there is a unique thing about this specific space flight. actually, the russian film director clim chapin co and russian actress eulley. a paras, hilde are tagging along. they're going to spend a 12 days aboard the international space station where they're going to be filming parts for a fictional space drama movie called the challenge. and this is actually going to be the 1st professional team of movie makers that will be filming in space. now,
5:13 pm
several cosmo knots on board. actually in these scenes, i wanted to say that paris sealed will be playing a surgeon that was sent to the international space station to actually save the life of a cosmonaut and several of the cars, not already on board. the i assess, are actually playing rolls in this movie, like oleg novit sky, who actually sent his greetings over twitter right after watching the launch from space. now, the movie itself is even set to make history as the 1st feature film filmed in space. this is something that the russian team has been locked in, a literal space race to accomplish for a while now with the american actor, tom cruz and the director, doug lehman. so i, this is certainly a some interesting news coming out of biking or, and the international space station. well, we discussed the sitting space mission with another russian cosmonaut antibody. sankoh shed his opinion on the case at that oval
5:14 pm
a look at my will. this is the 1st experience of the space white had been just one cousin that specialist and to non professionals, the screw members from this perspective, this white as the 1st of many similar wants coming in the future. the 1st challenge, the movie crew members will come across in spaces adapting to 0 gravity, something they started to experience right off to the. so you space scrub detached from the rocket carrier. the spirit usually last for a few days and gives some complications on the everyday life of an astronaut. because one experiences, so cold motion sickness, the 2nd unpleasant nuisance is that the blood stream is redistributed around the budget, which means the blot flows from your feet to the hat and that feels like you're standing upside down. these 2 fact us will bring some difficulties here. yes than not professionals, but they took short term training for space flight members. in the spot of the training they were taught to take care of themselves in space. how to warm up food, put on the space suit, you use a restroom and so full. as far as i know that there were motivated,
5:15 pm
they have no choice except to successfully handle life and space. and that professional duties to should, to moving still had false string is barricades on line. the british governments looking to spend big hon new cyber warfare center, but will it's proved value for money for taxpayers. that story more after this break. ah ah with
5:16 pm
an m a c o leon smith that allows old b programs and much was ok to invite everybody's lloyd. that wasn't good. that was the feature that the people who designed the ins and that is all in a feature ah, all hundreds of thousands of children have been abused by catholic clergyman in france since the 1950s claim comes from a report released today by an independent commission and described a culture of,
5:17 pm
quote, cruel indifference within the church to what was a systemic problem. this report rocking the foundations of the catholic church here in france. this is just the latest scandal to hit the church world wide, but showing the depths of depravity of those who in positions of authority and positions of trust. let's have a look at some of the main points. now in that report, some 3000 p to files uncovered, acting within the french church since 1950. and that is said to be a minimum estimate, some $330000.00 children who are abused by those who are affiliated with the church includes priests and the clergy. 80 percent of the victims were boys between the ages of 10 to 13, the head of the commission. all of that independent report said that the church was to blame for not doing enough. she's good deep these until the to thousands. there
5:18 pm
was a profound and even grew and difference to was the victims they were not believed, not heard. the church did not know how to see or hear. they did not pick up on signals or take the rigorous measures which were necessary. the institutions responsibility has to be recognized as your murray so of a wound that the problems had not yet being overcome each fulsheti thought deal. we must get rid of the idea that sexual violence in the catholic church has been completely eradicated. that the problem is behind us. the problem remains. so this report outlines 45 recommendations. this includes listening to victims and also a psychological assessment report of those who wish to join the church in the feature as well as looking at the governance of the church itself. as that, the porter being released, some of the heads of victims associations is quite out. they would be linked to the
5:19 pm
wrong fit. i know you've been through hell. you have explored the darkest and most object state the man sometimes creates in his i'm the president of the conference of bishop. so france reacted to that report. in the moments off that it was revealed, he said the time from b q t. the time for naivety was over and he described the report as being overwhelming . he asked for forgiveness for the church, for what had happened to these hundreds of thousands of children on social media. there has been angry reaction to that report with many saying that the time had come for reckoning within the church. this organization, the catholic church must be dissolved and had no other association company structure would not be dissolved, dismantled after such crimes. 330000 victims in churches, they should be dissolved chemical castration for our priests to take vows of chastity that has been a long list of scandals involving the catholic church now for the last 20 or 2
5:20 pm
years or more. we've had scandals in places like australia in australia, in the u. s. in germany, and now he in problems. but no matter how many times we get reports that are exposing what happened for decades. what was known by senior members of the church when you see the sheer scale of what happened to people, the numbers and how they were abused. people are still extremely shocked in the wake of briggs. it some in poland, a wondering whether they should follow the you case example and head for the exit or also currently locked in a series of disputes with the e. r. correspond peter oliver picks up the story. politicians from the ruling law and justice party in poland. talking about the country's future inside the european union. so even suggesting the potential of a polk set time for an honest assessment,
5:21 pm
whether the british path is better for poland. poland fought the german, occupies in the 2nd world war. it fought the soviets occupiers. we will also fight the brussels occupies with warsaw and brussels bumping heads over rule of law in poland. the polish constitutional court may well be set this week to rule that it's domestic law, supersedes that of the european union. the problem for the firebrands and polish prime minister mateusz. moreover ski party is that while saver, ruffling about the country's willingness to remain in the you may send out the message they want. it doesn't strike a popular court with the polish people almost 90 percent of those polled. busy said that they are in favor of you. membership supports risen steadily over the last 18 years. poland has the lowest levels of unemployment in the e u. it's the 3rd most attractive member state for outside investment and inside
5:22 pm
the block it's an important supplier to others. here's what people have to tell are see, it's better if we stay in the european union. poland is one of the most subsidized countries in e, u. so by making our contribution to the ear budget and what we can get out of it, as well as receiving funding for various projects, this is a better option for us. we gain more than we lose. if the european leave prices for european integration and a creation of a united states of europe, we should think carefully about that because the policy of some french or german governments, but also the european commission towards poland is harmful to us and causes losses for us. we must be ready to implement our own pulled exit plan. if such a departure would be necessary for us. nobody wants to leave the european union. if someone says they want to leave the you, they probably lost their mind. a lot has changed. our country looks different thanks to the you, but this union should love us to. currently it's been keeping us on the side. it's a bit distasteful opposition. activists don't think there's any real plan to take
5:23 pm
poland out of the a you says on just the spice of all hit the wall if it keeps escalating. the dispute with the e. you as soon as money's involved a dollars, it takes a backseat and there's plenty of e. u money already involved. warsaw is the largest beneficiary of the e u. cohesion fund. and it's set to receive 75000000000 euros over the next 6 years . add to that tens of billions in subsidies and cheap loans and the idea of warsaw quitting the u. club looks less and less likely. all of that is at risk. if poland continues to fight the european union on the rule of law case worse, or hasn't received its covert aid money yet, while some other member states already spending, there's not may be why the prime minister is putting himself over in a far more diplomatic fashion than some of his m p 's on this issue. i think we will be able to clear all doubts without create an unnecessary tash and here,
5:24 pm
of course, there is no talk of pol exit while. glancing over to the united kingdom, the only country to leave the e u club may provide more of a cautionary tale and been careful what you wish for than any shining example of sunlit uplands. upon leaving the european union, peter oliver r. t. berlin. the british government is preparing to funnel billions of pounds into new cyber warfare center capable of attacking states, the u. k. views as being hostile with more on what's known about the plans is shandey edwards dashti. well as being described, hair by the government in a breton as a once in a generation opportunity and a real game changer and placing brits and back on the map as a global leader, an influence are in terms of cyber security. in fact, it's so much of a priority for the government that it's setting aside a whopping finds
5:25 pm
a 1000000000 pounds to set up this new headquarters for cyber warfare in the united kingdom. many eyebrows, though, raised at that amount of money, particularly during all of this time we've seen in the k the pandemic. very difficult of financial past 20 months. not least looking at current affairs to like the fuel shortage here in the u. k as well. so that's a huge amount of money, but the defense secretary is defending this amount of money on the move in general, saying that the u. k. must be better equipped to defend itself, but also must be in a better position to launch these cyber attacks as well. some foreign states are waging cyber warfare not every single day, and we have a right on to international law and among ourselves to defend ourselves. and one of the way see can do that is to dismantle the tools that i used against you. for example, with a hostile state is using a server to deploy ransomware against you spyware. using disinformation,
5:26 pm
you could use offensive side, but to deal with those servers as being on this trajectory for some time. now, in fact, the national cyber force has been in operation. it was established since at least november of 2020, but what we do know is in the past few months now in 2021, a british officials have been hinting at who these hostile states really are. namely russia and china. russia has combined military and non military means to alter the map, attempting to change the balance of power and undermining the cohesion of all societies through disinformation, russia, and china winning a decisive advantage in information h military technologies. we know that russia has consistently denied any involvement in cyber attacks here in the united kingdom and says that london has time and time again failed to provide any solid evidence to back up its claims against it. but still, the united can kingdom continues and is indeed setting up this new headquarters.
5:27 pm
and it seems as though the u. k is not as ramping up as director it, but it's clearly a ramping up its capabilities as well. get it up, set up for this news on here. a naughty. don't forget to check out a website. last more new stories available there at auto dot com. mm hm. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
