[000:00:00;00] a headline here, 119 the national facebook whistleblower who prompted. kohls in congress for a crack down on facebook is now herself under scrutiny. critic say, how close tie for the democrats show. she's pushing their agenda with social media censorship. the european parliament part is a non binding resolution seeking to ban police use of facial recognition software and public places m e p's hailing it as a major victory on the program, august debate. the issue is good news. you're doing criminals. and plus a cross border kidney swap,

doctors in israel and the united arab emirates safe 3 lives within historic medical tie up just a year after the countries established relation with blue. welcome to your news here. one on t international. i'm rural. re sushi with a full friday bulletin for you today. so democrats in the u. s. congress are going all out with colds for a crackdown on facebook off to a claims of a company whistle blower. although it now turns out that france is how can, has close ties, the democrats something she failed to mention, while demanding action against her former employer. facebook's products harm children, stoke division,

and we can our democracy. the company's leadership knows how to make facebook and instagram saver a won't make the necessary changes because they have put their astronomical profits for people. congressional action is needed now to try to bear with me, it does seem to get a bit confusing. so francis hogan is being represented by a co founder of whistleblower aid, john tie, who served in the obama administration. the other co founder of the organization, which helps whistleblowers pay their lawyers. fees is mcg site. he was a legal representative for alexander bindham and a white house staff who testified in trump's 1st impeachment trial. we spoke to max blumenthal editor in chief of the greys. are he points to other alleged links and says, political affiliation is no surprise. in this case, her testimony dove tales very closely with the democrat censorship agenda. their plan or their desire to heavily sensor social media. frances,

how gin was pushing that agenda. if it's true that bryson gillette, the strategic communications firm that is reportedly advising francis how going and which was founded by former obama aid bill burton does enjoy this relationship with her. then we also have to consider her relationship, a possible relationship with abide and white house who's press secretary, jenn, saki, i actually used to be employed as a senior advisor by bryson juliette. what's clear here is that democratic operatives were not. if these reports are true, are providing p r advice and promotion to francis how going a previously unknown figure, who was instantly verified by twitter the day of her carefully coordinated and crafted testimony. so she's not as a, an actual whistleblower. she is

a political operative advancing a cohesive agenda. what's more, it's immersed that france has hogan as a regular donna to democrat affiliated organizations, helping potty kind of is to get elected a legal and media unless lionel and max blue with all again, gave us that take on the facebook allegations on the dangers of censorship. she just wants more government intervention. so i think the impact we're going to see going forward is more censorship, more intervention from the intelligence services and the reorientation of these social media sites to target official u. s. enemies per her recommendation. i think of, you know, it could, it can benefit multiple causes, you could see it benefiting the religious. right. that doesn't like the kind of semi pornographic content on instagram and the way it degrades women of feminist could get behind it. but behind it all, as a much more insidious agenda that hogan outlines, she has explicitly called for bass,

beefing up facebook counter espionage team to take on official enemies. she named me and mar ethiopia, which is a new target of u. s. empire as well as iran and china. she did not refer to facebook working with any u. s. allies to carry out all malicious activities. this is an extension of the narrative we've been hearing since the russia gate saga began. the real issue, the gravamen, the, the $64000.00 question is one of our people in coating. a former president of the united states who are excluded. an expert gated bowdlerized from any kind of public conversation. because of who he is. that's the issue. i may ask you some, one of you were on your phone on your mo bile and you said something politically piquant and all the sudden your phone went dead because your carrier says car, we don't like that. that's a hate speech. and you say you're the phone company, you don't,

you don't monitor what i say. well that's what we have to look at these companies as utilities, they will shut you down merely because you're oh pining and expressing in a an opinion. that's what they never talked about. that's the reason that's what i wanted to hear. that was never addressed in this big whistle blowing, expose a blah, blah, blah, blah blah. as gretta would say, european or makers are pushing for a ban on facial recognition systems used by the police. the u parliament has passed a non binding resolution against biometric surveillance which some in any piece of compared to that of cold war snooping. that's an important step in fighting against mass surveillance, the central and eastern europeans used to live under the eye of the big brother. and we don't want to come back. the resolution calls for a ban on funding or deploying program is there could result in indiscriminate masks

surveillance. and the document also emphasizes the importance of human supervision in any final decision making. and also urges authorities to be more transparent by using open source software. now it's not the 1st time in 1st nations, i should say that they're taking a stand against excessive surveillance in 2019 san francisco became the 1st us city to an act, a complete ban on police, biometric surveillance, boston, and then minneapolis. they will follow that as well. and we discussed the pros and cons of facial recognition with tara and security expert, david low and former us police officer, dominic ego. there's a great saying in law enforcement that when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. and all this does, it may have the great grand scheme idea of you're going after some very serious offences like child sex trafficking. i'm missing persons or terrorist activity, but i don't care who says what it will always be used down your lowest common denominator,

which is your citizen and it will be abused like crazy. you're then actively putting a tool in the police's hands to look for crimes proactively. in the wrong way, i think this is just, this is a door that's going to be open for some very abuse of authority. i don't think it's a good idea and it's, you can put police in the mindset of that everybody's a criminal is good news. we are in criminals and terrorists, and i think a terrorist threat both in europe and north america since we'll have enough money. so if you did look out, i mean, i'm talking about dealing with serious organized trauma trafficking. i'm lots of dealing with cs trafficking, those talk to friends in terrorism. and i think the point that was made, but you know, it's only allowing, like counter terrorism agencies. policing agencies in the u. k will be like the national con, one. you know, we agency those things, you wouldn't give it to have a police force. it was like when we were in the european union,

michigan information system, which was a database that wasn't available. so the police force in the u. k. it was only to send an offices and the pounds, i just happens and all of them in the united states were, were abuse. we just abuse. so if it was, if it was utilized and executed for what it was written up more than a 100 percent of the oversight was proper on it. that i think would be a great tool. i think that, but we just, we always take something that's, that's meant to be some way. and we just, we water it down and we abuse it. it's about giving who has access as a data store and also destroying data with the question installments on it, or making sure those safeguards in place. and that's why i said, you need judicial scrutiny. what's to make it say that it doesn't go all the way down to again, the lowest common denominator, which is the citizen and a detective, or a street car, shriek up as a bad day and he wants to go through all the backlog of your activity for last 6 months and charge you for

a crime that you committed 34 months ago. for poland on a collision course with brussels off the war source, top cool. a court rule that some e u laws are in fact unconstitutional. well, the timing couldn't be worse with poland now seeking billions of euros and e, you recovery funds. that's a lot more about this crossing live now to berlin and our euro correspond, peter, all about joining us this morning here, one antique and wanting to you. what is this dispute all about? please shed some light on this. well, there are shots fired in that confrontation between warsaw and brussels and the constitutional tribunal. poland talk court is basically said that the polish constitution has precedence over you law in the country. the primacy of constitutional law over other sources of law results directly from the constitution of the republic of poland. this has been clearly confirmed by the

constitutional tribunal. it's very important to point out the polish prime minister material more eventually says this isn't a sign that poland is about to try and leave the european union. in fact, he says his country has no intention of doing just that. but we are hearing again things that sound like breaks it. remember briggs call to do? it hasn't gone anywhere yet. well, now we're hearing about polk sits. doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but it is what it is. in fact, here in germany, the press is full this morning of talk about this being a legal polk said that poland has essentially, by making this ruling the tried to pull itself out of the legal frameworks of the european union and france deeply unhappy as well. we've heard air condemnation from paris as well as from the european commission, who said that they have serious concerns. and we'll be looking into this matter further. over e u. officials though of being more of

a fisher as in how they've condemned things. today's verdicts in poland cannot remain without consequences. the primacy of you law must be undisputed violating it means challenging. one of the founding principles of our union, we call on the you commission to take the necessary action. ease states must not stand by idly. when the rule of law continues to be dismantled by the polish government, neither can the european commission or money can't finance governments which mark and the gates are jointly agreed rules. or this, it could be a go a different way though, could be because these rulings from the courts only become law when they're published by the polish government. now, what could happen is the polish government could take this ruling from the constitutional tribunal and go, we'll pop that in a drawer for now, and maybe we'll look at it a little later because what you have at the moment is the situation whereby poland isn't getting over 70000000000 euros from the european union, in covey recovery money,

poland can look at other member states. you've already received their cash. you're already spending their cash. and wondering well what, how we going to make sure we get ours is also tens of mid air, tens of billions of euro's worth of loans and subsidies that the a, you potentially could cut poland off from. so we may well see this ruling from the court used as some type of bargaining chip to try and find a rapprochement between warsaw and brussels. but it certainly doesn't look good at the moment in some of the concern that's been shown from the european side. certainly justified, as poland says, essentially the rules and its country supercede those of the european union. i, peter, thanks for that. turkey has joined algeria in lashing out at the french president after emanuel mac. ron suggested there was no algeria nation before french colonial rule anchor, branded at microns words a populist move ahead of next year's presidential election and france. now turkey and algeria have joined

a growing list of nations that are now at loggerheads with paris. a charlotte dubin ski now reports france isn't having the easiest of times. it seems to be battling on multiple fronts internationally. and was that it's waging offer some foibles. take altieri, a francis form a colony. it's resisting president mack one's attempt to draw the line and it has an ax to grind that didn't go down well and then to add insult to injury macklin blamed hatred towards france. young algerians on the political military system, which had re written history based on lies when questioned. what is, how interior was there an algerian nation before french colonization? that's the question. algeria post 1962 is built on

a memorial rent that declares france is the whole problem. hugh, i recall done baset debt, while algeria also plays it as space to the french military. note, colonial presses are not to welcome the country, essentially set this amnesia which pushes process official relations with some of our countries into unfortunate crisis situation should be resolved through unconditional mutual respect. that's not the only trouble facing france in africa. marley has a summons. the french ambassador for explanations, it's the rear that as frog seeks to withdraw its troops, he can still think that he can hold the fort by sabre rattling. but if you go near the left hand to button, the situation arising from the end of operation back on puts molly in a fait accompli abundance of those mid flight to

a certain extent. and it forces us to explore alternatives and means to better ensure a security, mostly always other partners. and then there is this whole my t catastrophe. there was no way that we could have taken this decision without it having and causing deep disappointment. and hood to, to france with this, there's no way we could have avoided that if it wasn't bad enough that a stranger, a country which ranks a few more than several runs below france and military strengths. shocked it all for a rendezvous with the u. s. it also invited the briggs buccaneers alone for the jolly, the french what dears and found themselves crying out. which brings us to the u.

k. ah, my corn has often been compared to napoleon the will he get caught in the nets of his very own waterloo, francis so incense over the u. k. 's refusal to let ics fishermen troll they catch in british waters. it's even threatening to cut the country's electricity supply. surely it would make more sense to just pass on the increasing costs of energy to the bricks, making them pay double. but no macintosh government is forcing a battle of wills. who will though blink? first, all of this comes as the friendship president is set to face his stay 1st competition to date. as the presidential election hurdles, closer, many at suggesting the only person who blow a hole in mac guns hopes is well himself trans has lost its position for some

time already. i would say, since the end of a uh, shell to go as president trump has been lost, its position on the global staged france has decided to follow the steps of the united states and nato. and we've seen the catastrophe of that in an afghan ny rack . in extra saga, now we seen that france is totally lost. it macro is just living on the orals that france just to have. and now it's just finding out that this power, that france thought it had. he just doesn't have it. he's not the only one. he's just the one which is a he is the president wishes exposing this to the public that france is no longer the power. it used to think it was applied to more still to come in the program including while europe struggle to keep the gas flowing. that's also a supply problem with a shortage of drivers all the way across the continent. and of course, they're the ones responsible for keeping everything from petrol stations to all the shelves at the supermarket. totally supplied those supermarkets on the evaluation and analysis of the story coming up in just

a moment. ah, the by the administration's decision to leave afghanistan was correct and long overdue. however, the way americans longest war ended is a different question. it was a bond to pay, or the generals will most likely never be held to account, put a loan marine. lieutenant colonel does face court martial. is this justice for is your media reflection of reality? ah, in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being that some

with direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths. all remained in the shallows. ah, 20 pounds down here in moscow, and now it's rather inspiring story from the middle east of the lives of 3 women have been saved by an historic series of kidney transplants between israel and the united arab emirates. now as a major boost for medical cooperation between the 2 nations, which just established ties just over a year ago. ah

ah, we say was it gone? oh, she told me that she wanted to lay to the mother, but that was no match. knew that we asked for they discussed the dna and everything and books empty and our computerized program and it was great. in one minutes we found a good match with we se well and zoe. alien johnny. i waited in the airport to keep me from the house without great. well, the boat was 88 and then 870. we took off 2 minutes before i called to say lock those in our gabby and thought him this to start this tuesday. and this will affect, ah, we exchange the ice boxes and then i

get back to me as well. 6 and then ambulance waited for me. example ah, is a beast const out we sat there maybe go see stems. m a bridge between house. i was really special for us to blue such experience with our country . i think it's very yeah, special. and maybe they will be there the 1st and then we will continue with other countries. the british government is using the army to keep petrol stations supplied amid a huge lack of truck drivers. now it's a problem that's causing havoc throughout the supply i chain and isn't just limited to the united kingdom. as europe emerges from various locked down to now needs an estimated 400000 more heavy goods drivers. holland has the biggest shortfall and

it's relying on his neighbors to keep fuel and goods moving. while germany has at least 50000 driver vacancies. we heard from a yen pavlov ski who heads a transport company in berlin. he says truckers are severely undervalued and losing any incentive to get behind the wheel feeling, but even the number of drivers from eastern europe is declining. it is already obvious that many transport companies in central and eastern europe, which are very active here in germany, can no longer find drivers in eastern europe because no one wants to do the job. we need to be careful that this spiral does not continue, but finally stops. society should put more value on truck drivers. we all know how good it feels to sit on your sofa at home and order something online with next day delivery, preferably with free shipping. often you can't have it both ways fallen prestige for the job can be felt by the drivers, and many young people are asking why they should go into this profession with such

a low social status. we also spoke to a truck driver, jeffrey summers who thinks that wages should be increased in order to actually attract people to the job. now before earthy in the seller is the most important thing. if it's not good, the know wants to do the job or the other reason is that training costs have risen, and independent drivers have to pay for it by themselves. i have a colleague who's training has cost him 12000 euros. the military used to train many drivers who could use their skills in their professional life, but that's not the case anymore. and as her, as well as the training, there are also paul working conditions, especially in the long haul transportation. my colleagues don't want to be away from home for weeks. these days you can end up spending 14 days away from home, and many young people don't want to spend that long on the road for lately we've seen a lot of drivers coming from outside the u. they get paid between $4600.00 euros, and only the daily allowance makes the job attractive enough to take it. now to solve this problem, i think there should be more regulation of the industry. for example,

the minimum wage should be based on the drivers country of origin. this law the russian foreign ministry has filed a counter request to the global chemical weapons watchdog. this after the united states and 44 other countries, submitted a list of questions to the o. p. c. w, demanding moscow. give details on last year. alleged poisoning of kremlin critic, alexey no. val name. now we spoke to moscow's ambassador to the o. p. c. w. alexander a shogun, who says that russia's viewpoint is just being ignored. ah, there's a feeling that something else, other goals are driving them judge for yourself to day. i was not allowed to speak for more than an hour. the pretexts were different. for example, the absence of the bulgarian representative, he should have been reading the appeal of 45 countries. i asked the ambassadors of the united states, great britain to britney not want to hear the answer from russia. there was no

desire to listen to us. apparently other goals are being pursued. it is possible that this whole story is connected with the escalation of sanctions prussia, uniglobe. ah, we wanted to do a joint investigation and what do you think the technical secretariat began to drag out the whole thing? one of the excuses was that there were no similar incidents from the u. k. all the u. s. were putting forward a counter request within the same framework and expect that france sweden and the technical secretariat will never less on the same questions that we asked earlier. we close this subject with a request from 45 countries and sent a counter request. the bowl is on their side. in august, last year, alexis valley fell sick on a russian domestic flight. after an emergency landing in siberia, he was taken to hospital and put in an induced coma. he was later el, if the germany at the request of his family, doctor's in berlin, said in the valley, hoping exposed to the nova chalk nerve agent and ultimately blame the russian

government while their russian medic street treated nev alan. the claim that no poison is substances were detected in his body. after making a full recovery election of ality returned to moscow where he was then arrested and sentenced to 2 years in jail for breaking his parole conditions in a corruption case. now the russian representative to the o, p. c, w alexander shogun, again says western countries themselves work with toxins, including that of nova chug. it took a whole lot of kids to romance, some nato countries, a working with substances called navi chalk. i recall the statements of the check president who said in his country there were laboratories where work is carried out with the substance called a tooth trio which can be attributed to navi chuck, the pretty side admitted that in their porton down laboratory. what was carried out with substances from the family of navi choke the united states is the only country that is not freed itself from chemical weapons. 140 peyton's have been developed there for the use of ammunition that contains chemical warfare agents such as navi choke. you could look it up today just about wrapped up

a news program for this half hour here on our t international that was turned into such a busy friday. we got a big program for you again at the top of the next hour. that'll be noon moscow time. hope you can join us that ah long no one else. so the wrong one i'll prove, just don't hold any rules yet to see how does the become the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will to part, we choose to look so common ground. these

are the full people who pulled the trigger and survive something on survival worth law. harness things that i had to face was not having a face at a low expectation. a life i accepted death, accept the fact that my dad's work. we had no fears. dal changed pre fast. 4 shots . different stories behind the bullets. join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. but i'll be speaking to guess with the world politics sport. business. i'm show business, i'll see you then. mm. ah, ah.

hello and welcome to cross stock. we're all things considered. i'm peter lavelle, the biden ministrations decision to leave afghanistan was correct in long overdue. however, the way americans longest war ended is a different question. it was a botched affair. the generals will most likely never be held to account, but alone marine lieutenant colonel does face court martial. is this justice croft sucking military accountability? i'm joined by my guest, madame b. benjamin in washington. she is an author, as well as co founder of code pink in charlottesville. we have david swanson. he is the executive director of world beyond war dot org, an campaign coordinator for roots action dot org. and in managua, we crossed his air flounders. she is a co director of the international action center or
