ah, ah ah ah, facebook admit sin court validates 3rd party fact checks are nothing more than opinions fueling further allegations of bias. sons, censorship on social media. also i had this news our i anger mine in the u. k. over new restrictions being brought in to combat the fast spreading all me chrome. cobit variant one m p even compared the proposals to nazi iraq. germany on the pentagon, said won't hold any will liable for a bolts drone strike. enough chemist on that killed 10 civilians including 7 children, one former

u. s. military drone pilot told us of his frustration over the decision to see that nothing has changed, even when it's blatantly out in front of everyone's face. how we operate and no one's being held accountable like we've been talking about this for 10 years now. ah, ah. oh, from moscow to the world, this is our t my names, you know leo, and you're welcome to the news our, our top story. in a lunmark court case, facebook has admitted validates 3rd party fact checks are just the opinions. the revelations came during a legal battle journalists are bringing against the social media giant, accusing it of defamation. after post related to their work were flagged. asphalt ortiz southgate taylor takes up the story. facebook might have got

a self and new name matter, but it seems that it's up to its old trick. the age old question of whether it's a free, an open platform, or in fact, a giant tech company that is to censoring anyone. it does like, has yet again, re and merge. now the latest revelations transpired from a neural suit, filed against facebook by john list. and not because one of his posts from about last year's californian wild fires was fact checked and labeled party false. so he said for defamation as he said, but the social media platforms response has been to lift up his hands and say when it can't be defamation. because these fact checkers were pointing out to rid the world of nasty misinformation are actually surprise 3rd party people who decide what is full so not based, not still styles, claims focus on the fact. check articles written by climate feedback. not the labels have fixed through the facebook platform. the labels themselves are neither false nor defamatory to the contrary, they constitute protected opinion. so facebook has essentially admitted that,

for fact, check as facts, opp, optional. and of course, it does have a right to do this. facebook as a private company, so it's policy is an internal matter. but the point is, is that it does have responsibility on accountability before it's roughly 3000000000 users wild wide. and actually speaking of then, undoubtedly who feel misled at best, and maybe downright night to it was they've been sharing that take on these latest developments. court filing, facebook admits it's fact checkers. don't check facts. is facebook admitted here that it's fact checks are not really fact checks at all, but merely pin im assertions also by facebook claims. look, your opinion piece is not exempt from being fact checked even when they are clearly labeled as o peds or editorials. also, facebook or fax labels can not be false or to pharma tree because they constitute protected opinion, even though we present them as fact. we don't facebook to put a whole section on its website dedicated to fact check as and it really does solid . while you know, a 2 organizations watching and 60 language as slice together. it's

a rigorous process and that process involves identifying the problematic post and then reviewing it and apparently, and wanted to decide whether this post is asked to whether or not it goes straight to the sun. will sit into these people consult data. and that on the basis of these findings, that determines whether that content needs to be filtered or allowed to socket 8. so really does sound like a thorough only scientific process, no way in all of that. and bleeping, i've told i've some tool through it, there's a lot of it, there's absolutely no use of why it's like opinion subjective. you know, personal perception, judgment is nothing like that. and speech more widely. you know, if you do listen to some of the top ross at facebook, you believe that they never really filter any content because that's such great champions of free speech. if your democracy can't tolerate the speech of people, i'm not sure what kind of democracy it is. i do believe in giving people more access to information and more access to connect with one another and not reserving those as tools for some small number of lead people. i don't feel comfortable at

all saying they don't get to have a voice because i don't agree with what they said. our ability to know what is misinformation is itself in question and i think reasonably. so why think many people would agree without a party sentiment from hand, but the question era is, is facebook trying to get us out out of a tight spot with this rule suit? by suddenly amending the job description of fact check. i want to to escape any liability or has it actually just been lying on its website for this time? by the way, it's not good enough for the company. and it's often does absolutely nothing to count all of those accusations for all these years that they have been silencing voice says arbitrary new belkin content. quite frankly, straying into the dangerous territory of censorship. just to tickle and celsius point. we spoke with social affairs broadcaster dave perkins. he thinks that facebook is desperately trying to avoid a barrage of further lawsuits. facebook has found themselves back against the wall and if they try to cling to the idea that they are fact checking in court, they're going to lose. and not only is it going to cost them big dime,

but it can open the door to a flood of similar lawsuit in the near future, and it could be more than they can handle. i think they're hoping that by admitting that fact, jack just means opinion jack, when facebook puts a label on there, hoping to get out of this lawsuit without harm. and then just sink the story into the daily fountain of news events and hope people forget about it. in due time and in the, in the future, you'll see changes in their labels. they'll stop using the word fact and they'll come up with some other way to express it where they still exercise their dictatorship right to control speech on their platform. but it won't be a false presentation like the word fact jack is the u. k has started to record only chrome cases in their sizes. the various. now a cons for 20 percent of all infections in the country and nearly half in london. one death in total has been confirmed linked to the pseudonym mutant st forest.

johnson has not brought in his plan b, new restrictions on an accelerated rule out of mr. jobs. but many members of his own party are not convinced it's the way forward. we are not a papers please society, this is not nazi germany. well, the prime minister lake is instruction to the nation is get to boosted and now the aim really is to get every single adult in the country vaccinated with that boosted job. by the end of this month, the is quite ambitious then really because that would mean i'm 1000000000 people need to be job every single day, and i'm outside saint thomas hospital here in central london. and as you can see, the queue is really piling up. now this morning in fact being a chances are telling people to stop trying to book their booth online. the system has totally crashed and why. 7 may you ask about the acceleration of this booth to program now? well, according to the how secretary the on the chrome variant is now the dominant one. no, very old code 19 has spread this fast. oh me pond. expect it to become the dominant

code. 19 parent in the capital in the next 48 hours. so the 2nd of this week is to get a boosted now and it's all part of a drive of the plan. b covert restrictions that include face mouse being made mandatory again cove. it possible it's coded i to nation rules, but also the most controversial one is trying to get the n h just to get vaccinated, making that compulsory now many people in the public se that's an attack on civil liberties. that's something that some m p 's agree with. and so we're expecting a huge tory rebellion. many people saying compelling the public to get immunized as simply a step too far. not to mention the temporary emergency measures that don't seem to be so temporary anymore. we were told these measures might be left before santa took to his sleigh, and suddenly, before half the country was pinged into the gulag, there seems no lead up to this kind of self defeating dystopian logic. well, just yesterday, then the government put the owners back on the public saying we must all be playing

our part. but that's quite a difficult message for the public to take, especially after the last few weeks of revelations that some politicians don't to be playing their part in trying to get on the other side of this pandemic. and yes, i'm talking about those downing street christmas parties of being the headline news here in the united kingdom. but to get that booster now, perhaps it allows ditch effort to save their christmas is on the spite u. k. efforts to ramp up testing to counter the new all me con variant. there is still plenty of questions over how potent deadly or otherwise it actually is. now, on that point earlier, the problem spoke to simon clark and microbiologist that reading university in the u. k. who is inevitable when you've hyman good to you have to change what's available and what's delivering that to that program. and i think that's what we need. i think that's a stable boy from the horse to bulk because that's what's happened before. and they

don't want it to happen again, much more transmissible. so that transmits ability, more than i would take any central drop in virulence and everything to another of a headline stories today. none of the u. s. military personnel involved in a botched drone strike in afghanistan. or respect to the august 29th here st. lou. busy busy ah yes, that last graphic just so demonstrably was mistaken for a terrorist. we heard from his grieving brother, that's the key. you're personally them. so this also, this news came as it faced justice. the americans claimed they can spot

a needle on the ground from their satellites to how could they not see the innocent family they were about to kill her then they found no connection between us in islamic states. so why didn't they do those checks before launching a bonus us so they promised us justice and compensation and that they would take us to the us little money, but it looks like no other countries forcing them to seek justice. there is no want to challenge them because they're superpower, me. that's why the americans failed to keep their promises. and here all our t we've been speaking with more people who lost their loved ones in the bombing raid on the eve of the us withdrawal from afghanistan, there are still hoping for justice. you can watch those interviews in on heard voices available at r t dot com or the pentagon initially defended the cabal strike, claiming it was aimed at a law make state members more than 2 weeks later. though, quote, tragic mistake was acknowledged. we discussed all about with form a u. s. military drone operator brandon bryan. you know,

it's been 10 years since i blew the whistle on the u. s. drone program will be 10 years in 5 days, actually. um and to see that nothing has changed, even when it's blatantly out in front of everyone's face, how we operate and, and no one's being held accountable. like we've been talking about this for 10 years now. when i 1st started talking about it, people called me a liar. people tried to defame me, and now that we see it for what it actually is, innocence had been killed. not just innocent and innocent aid worker who was there trying to help. i really think that the managed states has lost knowledge on how to conduct warfare. and it's now a business. they're not going to punish the people that make them money. they're just going to punish the people that are so the supposed enemies in the ones that they test this, munitions on who should be punished or the officers. they said that there is a breakdown in communication, but that is mostly

a lie. i am must have been that there was there and there must been someone miscommunicating something but they have everything should be in a chat program like it's not just a radio call instantaneous. you spin up your mess when you shoot. it takes like 5 minutes to get ready to shoot a messiah. this was not an emergency situation. none was under spire. no one was under duress, no one was under stress. and so they had all the time in the world to make the decision on whether to shoot or not. a hard hitting testimony, isn't it? the cabal incident followed a long string of similar disasters. according to the bureau of investigative journalism, up to 900 afghan civilians have been killed by you, astro. and since 2004, including dozens of children, brandon bryan again thinks it's partly done to the extreme disconnect between thrown operators and what's actually happening on the run. there is no way that anyone who has ever done this job and sit there watching these people live their

day daily lives out. can not look at them and say, these are not people there. people because you go home and you go out into your own community. and you see the same keep same types of people doing the same thing. they're going to coffee shops there, go into bookstores, they're hanging out with their friends and family. there is no disconnect for a drone operator. there's so much connection. like if, if a drone operator were to go over there and to meet the people that they interact with, visually, they would probably have a emotional breakdown and cry because they would see that these people are suffering and no different than themselves. and that we're perpetuating that suffering because of our actions. we're doing it. the british government is planning to reform its human rights laws. by adding quotes i a healthy dose of common sense as the justice secretary put it. some of the proposals have long been called for including deporting foreign criminals, but the overall package has drawn

a wave of criticism from the opposition on rights activists. this bill represents the biggest legal assault on international refugee law ever seen in the u. k. a future where the u. k. brakes, his international law obligations, an ox out of human rights protections is a very bad future. these conservative governments attacks on the rural floor must top the human rights ad does not stop as depaul in serious criminals threatening to weaken people's ability to challenge the government. just because the core sometimes rule against you is the act of dictators and despots. not democrats. well, the proposed changes would apply to the u. k. human rights act, which has been in place for 2 decades. among other things that conservative government wants greater powers to curb foreign criminals ability to appeal deportation. and to give british courts more flexibility and interpreting rulings from the european court of human rights option returns a host of going underground. an rti told me the timing of the proposals may be

significant. viewers around the world are going to say, you know, i, this is just coming days after a british court accused of corruption by some overturned to previous judgment, that the julian assigns of wiki things can be said to the united states, to raise 175 years for revealing war crimes. so why, why so soon after we learn of that judgment and his stroke in a high security prison? do we suddenly hear a reform or consultation document on the human rights act, which will, which will and on the table is a reform of european human rights at court affiliation of the british system. one of the reforms, one of the main points of it is that the u. k. wants to make it easier to, to port foreign offenders. that's something that a lot of conservative voters have been asking for for many years. why should that

one be a problem? the numbers of foreign offenders that have been coming to britain. if you look at statistics, our minuscule entails of overturning the entire human rights act. one could maybe say that britain is acting quite intelligently about this britain. after all knows exactly the scale of the refugee crisis from countries that it participated in the annual bombarding of it was britain, of course, that destroyed africa's riches per capita. country libya on the mediterranean, there were thousands untold, thousands of drowned and ghosts, england, and france were involved in that. we have refugees drowning in the english channel . and of course, england and britain was responsible partly for the aerial bombardment of iraq. afghanistan off syria. britain knows where and why refugees seeking solace and asylum from countries whose economies and whose entire

populations have been destroyed. just approaching 20 minutes into the program, still ahead on archie. an american diplomats wife accused of killing our british teenager in a road crush is finally due to stand trial. we've got that story and more few short ah, all central banks, all banks, small, unfair bible committees, on verifiable centers that our, our, to run. some of them are very corrupt. some of them are extremely current here in el salvador. their money system is completely absence of any corruption because it's only dealing toward the pure monetary premium and truth of bitcoin. and on top of that bedrock of true, you can build a fantastic country. a fantastic culture is

driven by trainers shaped by center senators with dares sinks we dare to ask ah ah, hello again. the u. s. homeland security department is under fire now after it was reveal the agency had secretly obtained information on journalists,

congress members, and possibly even its own staff using data basis set up to track international terrorists. the associated press, whose reporter was one of those targeted is demanding answers where deeply concerned about this apparent abusive power. this appears to be an example of journalists being targeted for simply doing their jobs, which is a violation of the 1st amendment. what we have in question is a secret border patrol unit called counter network division. and apparently it had very few rules, very few guidelines. it operated and well abided by and according to the report that has well, that has made the headlines, bused a proudly some of the america's most sensitive databases to look into and to vet people. when i say people, i do not mean known criminals on poor people. charged with something or even people suspected of committing a federal crime. when i say that people, they were rather vetting journalists or world congressman or congress people or

just and your workers. they were vetting them as they were considering working with them this well counter network division and the sort of information they could get they could obtain from databases like for example, a terror watchlist is well, quite expansive. for example, they could get their financial logs, they could get their travel logs, they could even pry into their personal affairs. for example, the apparently used they're the most sensitive databases and all sorts of tools to look into well into a journal less than a political reporter who was well, romantically involved with a senior senate staff and they called the operation a whistle pig, apparently inspired by a very particular brand of whiskey and they used the information that they had obtained to ensnare said senate staffer. now these revelations, they have caused quite a stir and uh they have been condemned. these practices have been condemned by journalists by privacy advocates, and even officials if true,

this abuse of government surveillance powers to target journalists, elected officials, and their stuff is deeply disturbing. if multiple government agencies were aware of this conduct and took no action to stop it. then he's to be, is consequences for every official involved and department of homeland security and the justice department must explain what actions they're taking to prevent this unacceptable conduct in the future. official, as they have said, that quote unquote, they do not condone the investigation of reporters and one person who was singled out as a member of the secret unit. jeffrey rambo has also dismissed the reporting as sensationalized. he has said that they did not do anything out of the ordinary, that it was all common practice. this secret unit by the way, it is still operational to this day and a party operates according to the same rule book. or journalist on commentary chadwick murderer told us that the u. s. government, spying all its citizens, is nothing we've not seen before. deeply, shocking and chilling,

actually to put it more accurately. but this is also nothing really new. and this is something that. a transcends administration that transcend democrat and republican administration, and there's absolutely no reason why someone from a government should be looking at your bank records, who you're emailing your travel records, it goes funded mentally against everything that this country stands for and it's in our constitution. so it doesn't matter if you have something to hide or not, it's wrong and it should be probably legal. and it's not, it's the end of the values of this country and the people in journalists have been deceived. and this is all being funded by our government. it seems like congress should be able to do something about it. they won't, you put up quotes and congress people who are saying are deeply concerned. i don't think anything will happen. might be, i don't know if it's too far to say that maybe because they have every bit of dirt . they cannot members of congress. maybe people are frightened to come out against these agencies and adult services in any kind of meaningful way. that's possible.

but congress could absolutely do something, but they haven't, and i don't think they will. u. k, prosecutors say that why phone? my american diplomat charged with killing a teenager will face criminal proceedings. after all, answer coolers fled back across the atlantic. after her car collided with motorcyclists hurried done, i saw the u. s. military or a base in england. the tragedy happened more than 2 years ago. then mister cooler was accused of causing death by dangerous driving. she claimed a method community and was allowed to leave the u. k. the done family then filed an extradition request, which was rejected by washington. that's now been granted. lawyers acting force the coolest previously admitted that she drove on the wrong side of the road before colliding with teenager already done. they say that's because she had only been in the u. k. 3 weeks and took the right hand lane. quote,

instinctively seager an advisor for the done family earlier. so to the program, he thinks their long campaign for justice is finally making progress. we sort of feel this is a combination of almost 2 and a half years now of relentless, tireless campaigning. for this appalling decision by the us government should deny mary's family justice. we don't know why this happened. all we know was. ready that it was a, it's a terrible decision on the part of the u. s. government and supposedly, or our strongest ally. why you would want to condemn a totally innocent family to, to this torture. this mental torture is beyond me, but i were very pleased now that i'm with your help and your colleagues helping the media that they have now clearly been left with no choice other than to change their decision and allow justice in whatever form that takes to now take its, it's natural course. i think the attorney point was when president biden came into

office and we know he suffered a, a similarly similar family tragedy himself. and we, we learned from, from him that he was going to take a different approach to under president trump. took, i think my other theory is that inevitably, governments, when they make a decision, find it very difficult to change their minds. but the, the courage of this family and the help of the media all around the world. the americans ultimately were left with no choice other than to change their decision. these things unfortunately, do take a lot of time. another slice, all the casual report gets going and moments max and stacy tick over the ratings after the shortest. i'll break season with

with a happy hey, then we had said i, it had been done not allowed them to get them outside and by then coffee, thought she was an odd at a by then is a shift of on a foursome. so we're so much so it can, you know,

so it was if you had to move the po multiple, jim's or mom can connect to so that gives a few health most of the shows. oh yeah, my son can do that. the law a simple. so this is that yes, but i can the so button i was i, it's a philosophy on how i did finish. i hate to like a a humanity. maybe maybe we can oh yeah.

i'm max kaiser. this is the kaiser report. what have i told you hong kong in a box? what does that mean? let's ask stacy macs, a kind of sounds to me like el salvador is hong kong in a box. of course president who kelly himself is always saying, singapore, which kind of fits, you know, they a country that is a very hot, humid tropical that turns itself into a financial power house. well, would you believe me.
