down to any country's political agenda and who decides where to draw the line between freedom of expression and silencing the media this is inside story. we're . we're with all. hello welcome to the program has them seek a snap chat is blocking al-jazeera content in saudi arabia more than seven million saudis use snapchat every day it is one of the most popular markets for the social media platform in the middle east now the company says it's blocked the discovery channel that's after a request from the saudi government on the ground zero violates local cybercrime rules the al-jazeera t.v. channel as well as its news web site also blocked in saudi arabia and the united arab emirates in response to criticism of censorship snap incorporated responded by saying we make an effort to comply with local laws in the countries where we operate as a snap chat content was as popular in saudi arabia as sky news arabia and a lot of am i just that has condemned the band as an affront to free speech. unprecedented i mean. other countries such as china have tried with google and google you know what we're

a non-governmental organization fighting for rights to freedom of expression it's a it's pure business it's a commercial company and if they want to do business in saudi arabia the of course listen to the government and don't want to be closed down so i the problem is that as citizens we often look at snapped at facebook and all these wonderful platforms as if they're fighting for our rights to democracy but they are not their businesses and they make hard business calculations and that's obviously what snapchat is doing you can't even say it's kind of violating freedom of speech freedom of speech because that's what saudi arabia is doing a private company can really violate what is only as instantiate a party to that's dying or being true what the saudi government wanted yes they are but i wouldn't expect of snapchat to fight for our rights to freedom of speech i would never expect that from snapped out of facebook by anybody on any private company like that all right mohamed musri should should media companies comply with the individual governments or should they be complying with gl

so, did you have any experience as expressing minority opinions in your college? >> huntington college. great place. >> did you have any experience being a minority viewpoint in your college campus? >> well, yeah. i was a it was a methodist liberal arts college so there was no republicans then and somehow some body, an english teacher had prevailed upon me to start reading the national review and that i became conservative in my thinking but the establishment with the wallace machine dominated alabama. we started out our effort first time they'd had a republican club on huntington college campus and my wife was a member, too. we battled in campaigns, lost almost every time we campaigned but even in law school, not many republicans in the law school bunch, you can be sure. times have changed. it's amazing. now every statewide elected official in alabama is republican. i have a sense, i have a feel for what it's like to stick in there for what you believe and not kowtow to someone who has a different view, a majority view and people have a right to not have their mi

i think fundamentally, everyone has the basic rate to express -- right to express themselves. >> we got a speech-related question from students. and is and that is, it says this. as an advocate of free speech, how do you feel about the use of senate rule 19 to limit speech on the senate floor during confirmation hearings as was , done to senator warren when she was criticizing your nomination to be attorney general? mr. sessions: well, she certainly had the right to criticize my nomination and i think she really had the right to read the letter, but she was blocked, at least temporarily blocked from reading. the senate rule 19 says you you should not -- it's back to 1902 after a fistfight broke out on the floor of the senate -- it says you shouldn't personally disparage another senator. i was both a senator and a nominee. so it was a little different. i was not on the floor, i do not know anything about it. i would just say that i think in general, the senate is one of the most open debating forums in the history of the world. robert byrd said there are two great senates and one of the

men and their freedoms of expression and the way i view it is that check facebook and others are our core hard businesses but they are just platforms on which users can express themselves and the question is whether the governments allow them to express and the question is whether the users that are serving themselves and their rights and their needs to express that is something that's a larger issue than platforms i think. there are ways to get around this their i mean if your if your sad if you're tech savvy enough there are things like v.p. ends and all all the rest of it to get to access the content that you want yeah i mean there are but as you said that you have to be particularly tech savvy and i think that if we look at other cases what ends up happening is that people that were using snapchat or accessing older zero they'll find another way you know to to get around the restriction and to access. content one way one way or another but looking at it from another perspective in some ways you could say that the government has already won in this case that the saudi arabian gove

it also provides the right to free expression of religion. a little additional right there that is important. so we think that this case came up promptly because it's got a deadline. -- a deadline for us to file. we can file a statement of interest without being a party in the case. it's one of the unusual rights that the department of justice has. federal government has. to file a statement, a brief, without being a party in a case, and we think it is appropriate to kind of affirm what the proper parameters of free speech are in this -- at this college in georgia. >> we know you have to be at another engagement and we have to let you go, but maybe the last question can be about this particular event. as you know, there are many protesters, both in front of this building and in the hallway outside this hall, including members of our faculty, who are protesting. this event is being simulcast in a classroom that's outside this auditorium so that everybody else can come, who couldn't come in here, could hear it there. and i'm wondering if you ha

what is brand—new here is the live rendering ofjethro's facial expressions.und the face and being able to capture the face at the same time as the body. and we can determine what expressions are happening each frame, and then directors can see that live and make decisions on if the character is working as a character, whether his expressions need to change in terms of the model. in order to process an actor's expressions quickly enough, only one face cam and a few mo—cap dots are used. this simplified live data is then compared to a higher—resolution 3—d capture of the actor's face that's taken beforehand on a rig called... ..the medusa. now, unlike other facial—ca ptu re systems we've seen, which take still images of the actor's face, here they're shooting video of my face moving into and out of each emotion. that means that the facial recreation and the animations will look a lot more natural. the live, high—quality rendering of both face and body can also become a magic mirror on sets, to help the actor to get into the part. and i guess it really does make

so did you have any experience expressing minority opinions in your college? what college was this again? i introduced you. >> huntington college. great place. >> and did you have any experience being the minority viewpoint in your college campus? >> well, yeah. huntington is a little methodist liberal arts college, so we -- there were no republicans back then. somehow somebody, an english teacher had prevailed upon me to start reading the "national review" and i'd become somewhat conservative in my thinking. but the establishment was a wallace machine. it dominated alabama. we started a little effort. the first time they'd ever had a republican club on huntington college's campus and my wife was a member too. we battled, campaigned, lost almost every time we campaigned, but even in law school not many republicans in the law school bunch you can be sure. but the times changed. it's amazing. now virtually every statewide elected official is republican. so i have a feel for what it's like to stick in there for what you believe and not cowtow to somebody who has

host: what about the idea people who look up of freedom of expression? caller: well, freedom of expression goes so far, but when it comes to the national anthem of the united states of america, that is exempt from that freedom of expression, which if they are true americans, where they are allowed to make millions of dollars only because they are in the united states then they should definitely stand when they play the national anthem. host: those are just photos you are seeing from the various games that took place yesterday. some kneeling, some locking arms some not showing on the field, that is some of the things that took place. we will show you those and continue on from open phones. michigan democrat's line. dave go ahead. caller: hey, good morning. first comment, it was misleading, the "washington post" representative, nobody is paying for my medicare. the one caller correctly stated, insurance companies and pharmaceuticals are the ones that have made the difference in our health care, compared to other nations and what do insurance companies do?

it is the daily express. 0k hardline view here. it is the daily express.ly telegraph, bbc winning the battle to ease public service role, this is because ofcom is now the regulator and a bit of lobbying from the bbc has meant now there are certain things we don't necessarily, i say we, the bbc does not necessarily have to do perhaps. to an extent it makes sense because for a long time the bbc has been told you need to step with the times and is... you've got to be competitive. so the bbc is now seeing if you want us to compete with commercial services you have to give us independence when it comes to deciding how we do our programming. this is the sort of proposal being put forward. fewer regulations on them and fewer requirements to produce a certain type of programme is what we are seeing. potentially not as much religion or science, all that stuff that perhaps you're not necessarily going to see on i don't know some commercial rivals. what they are worried about is that viewers are not going to commercial radio but they are going to digital music servic

i expect the express title will change a bit. some of its edges, and the express is the little interest in stories about the weather, house prices, princess diana, so it will be interesting to see that continues. i think a few changes could happen, but the trinity mirror group say they are very hands of editorial, but also this deal has not happened yet. it still needs shareholder agreement from trinity mirror, and it is also possible that competition will be interested. if you put the mirror and the express together they will have about 29% of the market. the daily mail already has about 23%, but it is also possible the regulators will want a second look. ina word, regulators will want a second look. in a word, do you think the deal will go through? more likely than not. that's four words, but there you go. we will take not. that's four words, but there you go. we will take it! not. that's four words, but there you go. we will take it! thank not. that's four words, but there you go. we will take it! thank you. let's check out th

how is that the right way to express such a view? you should be able to articulate your view, advocate your view, defend your view against people who disagree. that is what america is about, not demeaning the country for which we are all blessed to live, in which we are blessed to live. i think it's a big mistake. if they haven't bought it through, maybe they haven't been taught properly in their universities and colleges about what this means and why historically nations are important. they function. nations are how people are governed, how their lives are affected. we need to be loyal to the great nation that we have in my opinion and standing up for the national anthem is certainly not too much to ask. >> tucker: attorney general jeff sessions, thanks.

intellectual and artistic expression are stifled. and growing corruption reaches all levels of society. the soviet people respond with public displays of cynicism, but they almost never openly challenge the authority of the leadership. the soviet regime does not hesitate to enforce its role -- it's rule through the violent suppression of individual liberty, but it prefers to use less onerous methods of control such as various propaganda techniques. the use of propaganda from the cradle to the grave helps except -- has helped at least a passive acceptance of its people. the soviet regime disseminates its propaganda through a vast network, operating under the supervision of the parties central committee. this propaganda network encompasses over 4000 newspapers, a large book publishing empire, a nationwide radio and television system, and an incessant stream of public lectures. for example, about 15 million lectures are given each year by the knowledge society, a major component of the propaganda network. the regime also works through m
