so we correct the label. by the way, if anyone at twitter wants getting deeper, de learned that the canadian media is largely government funded and subsidized to an extent, far greater than meets the eye. but canadian prime minister justin trudeau hysterically played the class warfare card in defense of the public broadcaster accusing conservative party opposition leader. yes. why? yeah. law of cozying up to us billionaires. an obvious reference to must by the evelyn written the letter to twitter, drawing attention to the fact that the c, b, c, which canadian conservatives have long accused of cow towing to the left leaning establishment agenda. shouldn't be left out of there is who labeling spree which also hit other western outlets like britain's b b c. now label is publicly funded and and p r. so national public radio in the u . s, which has outright quit twitter in protest. but hey, must be $44000000000.00 for twitter so he can do what he wants with his own private company, right? that's the argue that wa

and that's fraudulent labeling. it comes from austria and luxembourg, have already threatened to sue the block if it declares nuclear power sustainable or for more reaction on this, we're joined now from stuttgart by macau bloss visa climate policy spokesman for the greens in the u. parliament. welcome to you. what is your fundamental problem with this? a proposal that potentially classifies nuclear power and gas, planters, environmentally sustainable. the fundamental problem is that we need a label that shows what is green, what is a sustainable investment? and with labeling gas or nuclear investment into gas and nuclear as sustainable. this is putting into question to whole credibility of this new and sustainable labels. so possibly it will be used and we need direction for the financial markets now to to put capitol into funds and renewables. and all of this is now it's take what, what this classification actually mean in, in practice. well, in practice it would mean that a new gas power plants, new nuclear power

again facebook's brought in a new label to some users pages to clearly highlight who it considers to be state controlled media including r.t. it plans to also ban them from buying ads in the u.s. head of the forthcoming november presidential election but there's a bit of selective it seems as to who gets flagged up as a senior correspondent more guest he explains next a new day a new facebook scandal they start it isn't about them selling out their users or allowing opposition activists to be tracked to establishing another censorship well it kind of actually is the start it's about facebook deciding for you who you should trust. several months ago we announced our plans to label media outlets that are wholly or partially under the editorial control of the government and today we're starting to apply labels to those state controlled media outlets were providing greater transparency into these publishers because they combined the influence of a media organization with the strategic backing of the state and we believe people should know if the news they read is coming from a publicatio

it is not true how much a label can change behavior. more than half of adults say when they're shopping they do look at labels. according to the fd food and drg administration, the biggest proposed change deals with calorie counts. here's the current label where the calorie count is tough to read. but on the new one there's no missing how many calories you're eating. another big change, the label will include the amount of sugars added to the product. make up 16% of the calories we school and considered a big contribute to the obesity epidemic. the nutrition-minded first lady leading the charge. >> our guiding principle is simple. you the consumer, and a parent, should be able to go into a grocery or the, pick an item off the shelf and figure out whether it's good for your family. >> they welcome the change. >> any time we try to get people to know what they're eating and look at what they're eating it's a good thing. just does it work? not so sure. >> anything that's increasing transparency and food labeling is a good thing, something

the amount of sugars also is on the label. they are considered a big contributor to the obesity epidemic. the proposal was rolled out at the white house, with the nutritious-minded first lady leading the charge. >> you, the parent, and a consumer, should be able to walk into a grocery store, pick an item off the shelf and tell whether it's good for your family. >> some people said they welcomed the change. >> any time we try to get people to know what they are eating, it's a good thing. does it work, not so sure. >> anything that is transparency is a good thing. >> another big difference with the proposed label is a change in surfing size to reflect how we are eating. for example, this muffin, under the label is considered two serving sizes. >> come on, you really are going to eat half. >> this is one serving size, a serving size would be 400 calories, not 200. >> a food advocacy group applauded the move. >> most of the changes are for the better. who can be against that. getting sugar on the label, added sugars is important.

the label read: the labelling law was part of farm bills in 2002 and 2008, and had support from some. ranchers. canada and mexico never liked the labels fearing they'd be at a disadvantage to u.s. product. with the backing of the world trade organization they are threatening to impose $3 billion or more on tariffs on a wide range of american goods unless the labels are dropped. consumer groups backed the labels because they help consumers under where the food comes from. >> consumers, the american people, the people we represent want to make purchases from a trusted source. >> reporter: canada and mexico many in the industry especially those that buy cattle from north and south of the border see it as a failed marketing tool that drives up costs. >> we have producers that will buy in canada and mexico bring them across the border, add value and market it as the united states. mandatory labelling wouldn't allow it. >> reporter: under the law canadian and mexican animals have to be segregated from those in the u.s. that's pricey. kent says if consumers want the labels. his industry wil

several months ago we announced our plans to label media outlets that are wholly or partially under the editorial control of the government and today we're starting to apply labels to those state controlled media outlets were providing greater transparency into these publishers because they combined the influence of a media organization with the strategic backing of the state and we believe people should know if the news they read is coming from a publication that may be under the influence of the government so we'll skip over the irony here of someone who is under the influence of a government which is facebook which regularly censors what the us government tells it to censor telling everyone else that you shouldn't trust those who are under the influence of the government you following and facebook takes great pride in making sure that what you read is approved by censors in the u.s. only 53 percent of americans trust the news sources that use so we're making it easier to learn more about an article right in your facebook news feed what it has done this start is remarkable even by its

labels are fine but that this bill won't give the voters the labels that voters want the no side has focused on perceived to have probably made up exemptions and loopholes that don't actually exist in the law and they also kind of focus on extra costs that will burn these companies us right so you take the cost of what it would cost for every company to take the g.m.o. ingredients out of their products and they say that's what it would cost to label the product labels are virtually cost less so most of the most of the money that's coming from the opposition side is is funneling misinformation base oh yeah this issue because they can't win by thing they don't support consumers right now and as a result of the citizens united and other elections that have allowed all this money to flow into these elections it's really hard to kind of speak through a lot of the misinformation that's coming out california tried to become the first state last year to to require g.m.o. labeling washington now is trying to become the first state to do it how important is it for that first state to break thr

it's only now that the same labels are being applied to them that the cdc says that it represents an unfair attack on the integrity of. busy individual journalists working for them, so the cdc, which by the way, last received $1240000000.00 with a b of annual funding from the canadian federal government has now paused its twitter account and pointed out little guess 30 percent of its funding on its own thank you very much, which prompted, elan must to amend the label. canadian broadcasting corp said they're less than 70 percent government funded, so we corrected the label. by the way, if anyone at twitter was getting deeper, de learned that the canadian media is largely government funded and subsidized to an extent, far greater than meets the eye. but canadian prime minister justin trudeau hysterically played the class warfare card in defense of the public broadcaster accusing conservative party opposition leader jeff, while yella of cozying up to us billionaires an obvious reference to must by the evelyn written the letter to twitter, drawing attention to the fact that the c, b c, w

labeling mostly these g.m.o. companies like monsanto and dupont have spent twenty thirty million dollars in this race to defeat it they did the same thing in california what's behind this why are they so adamantly opposed to something just as innocuous as labeling their products well i think it goes to that question of whether g.m. us are safe to eat if they're not safe to eat based and feeding us poison essentially and they're not going to want to admit that. the money is having a profound effect though i mean in i remember last year we value on to talk about this issue in california and the polls show that this was going to pass overwhelmingly and then monsanto into part of the rest and coming down tens of million dollars and in the polls just suddenly shipped like that you know what i just mentioned in the in the intro today here that the polls were similar. overwhelmingly people supporting jim are labeling all this money gets dumped and in the polls change why why is money having such an impact on this issue

elon musk says this change is around bringing in these labels, it is to bringing in these labels, itd what it links to. but when you click on that ban of government funded accounts, it takes you through to the page that explains it and it talks about state affiliated media, which is something totally different. that is the kind of media we see examples of in russia and china, where the governments have sometimes control of the message that is on those platforms. so once again, a confusing situation. and once again, elon musk having to try and defend what he is doing in real time, as it happens. what he is doing in realtime, as it ha ens. ., ., ., what he is doing in realtime, as it ha ens. ., . ., . happens. how have the other media organisations _ happens. how have the other media organisations reacted _ happens. how have the other media organisations reacted to _ happens. how have the other media organisations reacted to this - happens. how have the other media organisations reacted to this you - organisations reacted to this you have had their label changed for them? , ., ., ., ,

intended to keep who apply it to the label. and i think more in general i mean does the i think a wider crack. amongst people which i think is probably increasing now that you know information is being censored we've seen it in so many different round so many different issue areas and of course you know code 19 remote control to see you know scientists being blocked from you shoot and so on is just creates an overall sense of distrust in media and yeah well what on the other 11 other one was that highly publicized case just there earlier this month when a new york post article on hunter biden's business dealings was blocked by twitter there's been no comparable action really taken against anti trump articles in fact if anything there's been an uptick as we got closer to the election what's your what's your take on consistency here. well i think that's the big problem i mean we know little communication scholarship tells us about biases across mainstream media alternative media your etc you know this is a very very well establis
