facebook post on facebook sorry that the exchange was actually happening although there is no official statement or confirmation from the russian side as yet so let's get more details from you goes dan if he joins us again the studio. this story's moved on hasn't it since we last spoke now the ukrainian president's office has said yes the process is underway well indeed well this is a very sensitive story both for russia and for ukraine so most details that we have right now they exist in the realm of. speculation reports even rumors and the only concrete thing that we have to work with is that post or even rather every post by ukraine's attorney general what it does it is soon is that some ukrainian sailors and 4 other people could be on the way home from russia to ukraine now those 4 people mentioned by name in that post most of them were jailed in russia on terrorism charges and one of them got prison time for illegal possession of firearms and ammunition this is pretty much all the details we know so far we don't even have the official figure as to how many ukrainians russia is ready to give up i mean if you want an estimate to provide an estimate it could be right now it looks like it could be up to 20 people the 4 people mentioned in that post by name and up to $24.00 ukrainian sailors who jailed in russia when it comes to the russians in ukraine according to the information that he has they have not crossed the border between russia and ukraine just yet ok with regards to those people then ukrainians you mentioned sale is there is the resumption they are the sailors that being held over the years into the strike back in november yeah absolutely is that incident of those sailors just a reminder as to what happened back then last year in november on the 25th of november some ukrainian military vessels entered the coach straight it's a straight right off the coast of the crimean peninsula and of course russia says crimea is part of its territory ukraine disagrees so those vessels the nord warnings by the russian navy so the russian ships had to intervene and to intercept those ukrainian vessels there was a rough interception as well because one of the russian ships rammed a ukrainian vessel and the russian sailors opened live fire to stop the ukrainian ships i think 3 ukrainian sail. injured last year in that incident light injuries and they received all needed medical help as soon as they got on land since then they stayed they they stayed in captivity they were they were prisons they were prison as i should say and so since then ukraine has been calling on russia to release those sailors now in the wake in ukraine russian journalist carol he was released from pretrial detention again the people linking the yes indeed because both could be quite positive developments for relations between russia and ukraine right now we have this prisoner swap that is under way something that the 2 countries have been working on and on a very for a very very long time and just this week just a couple of days ago russian journalist the head of the ukrainian branch of the russian news agency ria novosti he released from prison after spending there more than 400 days without any sentence he's accused of treason by ukraine but he's not been found guilty of anything and russia has been adamant that this person is innocent until proven guilty he's just been doing his job like you or me do and that he should not wait for a verdict he should not await a verdict in captivity in prison and so this week the ukrainian court released him on bail ok all right well we'll keep across this story throughout the day thank you for that was legal she's done affair with the latest. now newly declassified documents to reveal the u.s. knew months in advance that indian easier would try and disrupt east timor's independence vote held 20 years ago but washington refused to act instead pushing for closer military ties with you carter any prank or is more details. one of the youngest nations on this planet will celebrate 20 years of independence now at the end of august east timor is remembering the referendum which made it possible among those on the guest list as america's assistant secretary of state but let's put that aside for a moment and dave there's lots to commemorate because the price that east timorese paid before and after the vote to be free of indonesian rule is immense or probably there's no proper word for it so many lives were lost. with this with. you susan this is due to the. blues. this was just. using. this brings me to the reason why i mention the top u.s. diplomat all those declassified u.s. security papers so many times they've led to red faces at some very uncomfortable moments in august 29th one release revealed american officials were perfectly aware of what the end unease in military was up to the cia notes said their methods were to kill you drive out or intimidate into silence independence activists and took out the general population into acceptance often leads to more on the. conscious control at the pentagon was at the time very keen to keep up with indonesia there's another document which shows a us admiral referring to the head of the indonesian army as a friend digging a bit further into the past has led us to more awkwardness or even ugliness how about this on the part of australian diplomats in the seventy's an embassy memo pointed at daily torturing raping and exit puting the captured population on the island of to more yes speck then that was also on the hands of indonesian troops the ugly part is this handwritten remark by an aussie diplomat it says sounds like fun another dark page in indonesian history was when the government got rid of hundreds of communist sympathizers throughout the sixty's guess who helped put together the lists of alleged communists the us embassy here's how one of its staff recalls that support it really was a big help to the army they probably killed a lot of people and i probably have a lot of blood on my hands but that's not all bad there's a time when you have to strike hard at a decisive moment so again there's hardly any doubt the americans knew exactly what the rulers in charge in jakarta were like and so time magazine found no better words to describe their rise to power than the west's best news for years in asia so this friday do watch out for any redness on the face of the assistant secretary of state or perhaps you'll need some very powerful optics well i think unfortunately most countries including the us back in the 1990 s. and early 2000 would be guilty of engaging and political alliances for a geo political aspirations and for things other than preserving the rights of other people of course a stake. armaments 1st priority should be to its own civilians but unfortunately we don't see that in many countries now that being said what we're talking about in east timor in indonesia since the us had interests with the indonesian government and the military and were actions were taken alliances made and even violence allowed to preserve an interest to preserve an interest of the administration but it is true that countries all governments should absolutely make sure that the 1st priority is the maintenance of their people their own economy before they go into to preserve their interest in another place even if it's under the false guise of human rights. 10 us democratic 2020 hopefuls have qualified to participate in the party's upcoming debates in september another dozen hopefuls are still in the race for the party's presidential nomination but fail to meet the strict criteria for taking part in that round of televised june well among those failing to qualify for the debates is hawaii representative here that's a surprise though to some as she was the most searched candidate following the 2 previous debates she has the process by which candidates are selected for the main stage the whole process really lacks transparency. people deserve having that transparency because ultimately it's the people who will decide who are democratic nominee will be and ultimately who our next president commander in chief will be and when you see that lack of transparency it creates. a lack of faith and trust in the process a lot easier. to just time the d.n.c. chooses who to give a platform to. it's primetime television if you want to be anybody in the democratic party you better make sure you get on the stage at the presidential debates so what do you need to do to make it 2 things 1st get over 130000 unique donations to get at least 2 percent in a national poll but here's where it gets tricky not every poll is the same and if the democratic national committee doesn't like you they can reject the poll results that show things in your favor now tulsa gabbert has met the donations threshold he's got over 2 percent 126 different national polls however the democratic national committee says that doesn't count they have their certified list sure it's important of that information it's being provided but let's take a quick look at some of the polls that were rejected politico the economist reuters if these widely respected outlets and news agencies aren't credible in america then who is polling in the united states there is a club. a network of close associates and friends and they frown upon those polls that are either new or are now members of the club or the association so i would certainly speculate the has something to do with it it is a partisan organization the democratic national committee so any poll say that may have a tradition of leaning republican or not considered to be in the mainstream of democratic artists and ship you know would be would be ruled out even the polls deemed credible by the democratic party have a margin of error of between 2 and 6 percent and when the criteria for being in the debates is only 2 percent a margin of error like that is a pretty big deal so tell us again could have between 0 and 7 percent support among american voters now keep in mind there are over 200000000 people who are registered to. oh in the united states of america so what's the difference between 0 and 14000000 well whatever it is it is apparently not important to the democratic national committee there is a margin of sampling error so if the margin of error is plus or minus 4 percent what is 2 percent in the polls if if it's 1.51 percent that the candidate has that does get rounded up to 2 percent whereas the 1.44 percent which is meaningless one could argue the democratic national committee is a private organization we can establish our own rules but then they also have to be open to the charges by somebody like chelsea gambler who says this doesn't smell like it's fair and frankly i agree with the right of the smells that they're now the d.n.c. doesn't exactly have a reputation for impartiality and fairness leaked e-mails and 2016 show that the democratic party leaders were working pretty hard to defeat bernie sanders and make sure that it was hillary clinton who ultimately took on donald trump now after the outrage in 2016 the new democratic party chair tom perez promised to empower grassroots activists i am more committed than ever before to restoring votes is faith in the democratic process because even the perception of impartiality when unfair advantage undermines our ability to win that is unacceptable to that end the new d.n.c. under my leadership is committed to the task of making sure that all 2020 nominating process will be unquestionably fair and transparent so as the list of candidates gets whittled down to one final nominee voters will have to decide as to whether mr perez is living up to his promise. r.t. new york. the m s n b c news channel has retracted a bombshell report on donald trump and his supposed it ties to russia it alleged the us president had russian oligarchs cosign loans for him with deutsche bank on the basis of a single unidentified source. and this single source close to your bank has told me. that the trump doll trumps loan documents there show. that he has cosigners that's how he was able to obtain those loans and that the cosigners are russian. that would explain it seems to me every kind word donald trump has ever said about russia and vladimir putin. well the story did back. to the channel accusing it of spreading false and defamatory news he also threatened seeing legal action if the story was not retracted and s n b c host lawrence o'donnell apologize for airing the claims but insisted that he may still be true. tonight we are retracting the story we don't know whether the information is inaccurate but the fact is we do know it was ready for broadcast and for that i apologize however this isn't the 1st time the channel has gone to with a story and hasn't fully verified. russia can just shut off the electricity they have that ability now and it is like negative 50 degrees in the dakotas right now what would happen if russia killed the power in fargo today and intelligence officials now believe with a high level of confidence that russian president vladimir putin was personally involved in a covert effort to interfere in america's presidential race the only thing we do know is that putin's enemies have a way of turning up dead and that evidence has a way of being meticulously covered up when you have a public figure in this particular case donald trump the president who is suing he has to show that the alleged defamatory statement was the product of actual malice either that the individuals knew it was wrong or they use it here's a word reckless disregard for the facts they are at the ratings basement there are baby monitors that have higher ratings than this they don't care and you soon as they're done with this lie they'll go to the next slide because they can drive as fast as they want through the street called mendacity and this is not even journalism it's not even remotely that it's i can say what i want and if it's wrong. oh ok will give a little bit of an apple owed you and move on not even a slap on the wrist nothing brushing off he still had to kiss our frenchman says he's going to have pale after a court overturned his ban on the use of pesticides near his home time we'll have a look at the story just after the break. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand down the news business you just need as the right questions and demand the right answers. question. seemed wrong wrong wrong just don't all. get to shape out these days to educate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. a comeback now frenchman has accused the country's government of double standards after a court overturned his ban on pesticides name his time he's now appealing that decision . as a story. this tiny breton village of language has found itself at the center of controversy in the battle over the pesticides in may the local mag to quote some saw as being a bold decision to ban the use of pesticides within 150 meter cotton over the village farming unions were furious on the matter ended up in court now the man daniel coeff had his ban overturned but the debacle is now shining a light on the deep political contradictions so rounding pesticides in france well president mike corn praised his intentions for tackling phosphates a burning issue over health concerns he said the solution was not to issue a decree that doesn't comply with the law for mag coeff that's a double standard. i don't understand what is happening in my craw and the ecology minister said that i am right and doing a good thing to protect my people but in the meantime i am facing court for a decision to keep pesticides at a distance of 150 meters i don't understand politics now it seems the decision by the court to take his ban on pesticides was illegal has also earned good residence in this usually sleepy village. shown to children with lots of fields around lung where and it's important health matter for on. especially for children we breathe the in the press the sites we did during testing the amount of best to sites with found was alarmingly high even though we eat organic and we grow some of our own food that is also organic. but it was a bad judgment and the mayor wasn't heard i think the government isn't doing its job there the 1st you see that there should be no pesticide but they do nothing or so i honestly think it was a bad legal decision by the court. which genes are coupons says we are in a small village that is close to a farm an area we need to protect people too we never know what kind of health issues could be created by pesticides so i think the decision by the mayor was intelligent and he needed to make a decision to protect the people but now he has difficulties with the justice system the world health organization has said gleich phosphate often used to weed killer probably causes cancer well gov phosphate has hit the headlines over health concerns much corn had promised to ban the use of phosphate by 2021 that provoked an outcry by farmers in unions who said they needed an alternative mark and then pushed the ban back to the following year when the current license will expire now across france the ban imposed by mcewan has gained traction he may have lost the 1st battling court but now around 20 other mayors have followed his lead banning the use of pesticides close to homes while farmers on the juris decry these bans as being politically motivated saying they are getting on the environmental bandwagon ahead of my oral elections. mayors are really thinking of the next election environmentalist's are wreaking havoc on our agriculture and our only factories floundering unless these mayors are outstanding scientists they are taking advantage of people's fear to make this kind of decision which is good for their image is protectors of the environment and the population but it seems the government has been backed into a corner there must be a minimum distance between residential areas and best decides brain i will advise in the coming days forming unions and the companies that produce pesticides are sure to have something to say about that but so too does make us who believe that these things all the only way to protect people who live in their farms which use pesticides otherwise he says their health is screwed so all it even ski for artie lange go it in pretty. u.s. president donald trump says that american troops will be withdrawn from afghanistan once the deal with the taliban is reached we're going down to $8600.00 and then we'll make a

facebook come out and say that they don't listen to their users' conversations. however, there is a subset of facebook users who use the transcription service on their facebook messengere. memof i send you a voice company would have the option to transcribe that memo. facebook has done, in order to make sure that the ai is transcribing that correctly, they have also sent those clips to hundreds of outside contractors who are listening to these people's conversations and judging the human transcription against the ai. emily: it is also not just to determine accuracy but also if they are violating standards. sarah: it is unclear about why but facebook says yes, they have doing this. they put in the same bucket as what google and apple and amazon have to in trying to use human -- have done in trying to use humans to make the ai more functional. if you ask facebook to transcribe your messages, you probably aren't thinking there is a person transcribing these. it is kind of the same if you have this message on your phone -- have a voice message on your phone that gets transcribed automatically. it is obviously from a bot, and they are trying to make that higher-quality by

we are at this point where you get on facebook and twitter and you get on facebook and twitter and youeet and you have no idea what kind of data is being gathered on you and what adverts it's being used to target. when we talk about the irish border in this technological solutions this is the sort of solution or one of them, when we talk about how can we just have everything done by technology and no border checks in “ no technology and no border checks in —— no borders and this is the side effect. the difference between this and the personal data laws last year is when you click on an e—mail and sign onto well let's say you are physically doing something or not doing something but when you walk down the street you do not know what cameras are on you and it looks like they are all over the place. daily mirror headline come and katz £73 holidays flight. they have taken a budget flight from norwich up to aberdeen in stark contrast to that of prince william's brother harry and meghan markle that took the private jet. for private and meghan markle that took the privatejet. for privatejets.

for those who are suing say facebook has not fixed the problem. >> well, speaking of facebook ads, have you looked for shoes online and suddenly shoes popped up on your facebook page? well, facebook says it's trying to fix that. it's rolling out a new tool that can limit what facebook can gather about its users on other websites. however, anything you search on facebook is fair game for advertisers on the site. right now the tool is only available in south korea, spain and ireland. but when it comes to the u.s. you'll be able to sign up for that tool in settings. >>>upnext here at 6:00, jurors held in contempt. others needing time off from the deliberations. the latest from the ghost ship trial included the chances of a mistrial. >>> plus -- >> then i had this instinct, i said bobby, there is a bear in our house. >> yup, the bear just walked in and raided the fridge. the bay area family's close encounter with that bear. >>> right now pleasant evening under way in oakland, big game tonight, a's hosting the new york yankees, temperatures around game time in the upper 60s, when 80s could return to oakland and 90s for the valleys when we come right back. >>> toni

facebook is no longer allowed to share. therefore it's good for facebook to have this rule in place. the facebook of five or seven years ago, the oneresulted in cambridge an lit ka, that's no longer how facebook works today. there aren't developers making privacy -- sorry, making personality quizzes or games that operate on facebook anymore that used to be necessary. in order to bring in more users. but in this current world, facebook no longer wants that. in fact, it wants to keep its entire network that it built mostly for itself. emily: it's interest, sara, you just came out with a fascinating piece yesterday about how facebook contractors are listening to audio of its users talking over facebook messenger. yet today the story about facebook getting stronger. why don't the bad news stories seem to hurt facebook? more? than they do? >> i think the reason why the bad news stories done hurt facebook is because the enforcers aren't making facebook change its business practices. so when it got the fine and the fine was just a fraction of its annual revenue and was able to still keep doing what it's been doing, mining users' data in a

on facebook is a bipartisan issue, in that sense. [mcnamee] i don't think it's about hating on facebook. beca? e i like the people, okm saying i think this is about pushing back on a culture a business model that lost its way, that basically treats us as a fuel source ead of as people. and the funny thing about this is that when you sit down and talk to people about it we don't h give up what we like about these products. what we ve to ask them to do is to give up the part of their business that har s us, that makes thridiculously over-profitable and harms journalism, media of all kinds, and will eventually harm the auto industry, the banking industry, the energy industry.ds, and [smith] well let's just stick with two people on the wrong end of this relationship. wo industries, journalism and the democracy part of all of our lives. on urnalism you actually call out facebook for undermining the free press. [mcnamee] for sure. [smith] explain in short form how it is you think facebook undermines the free press. [mcnamee] so facebook and google have the same thing. so what they did was they provid

you'll find us online and on twitter and facebook and we had a question for you too on facebook we asked. how much. time do you spend on your smartphone and what do you do. i don't even know what it feels like without a smart from mr google always answers all my questions. so it's either one terrible tear on also plenty of time online about 6 hours a day she reads messages and posts on what's up and facebook looks things up on google or watches videos on you to. meet you sophie who's also a fan he's on facebook a lot usually until midnight. but what's behind our craving for social media. catalina and phillip a typical of the social media generation she has an instagram account devoted to lifestyle topics here and he posts now and then and shows how much time they spend a day unless mark phones i mean 3 hours. i mean you know if you're with me it's between 4 and 6 hours. and trying to cut down a bit even if i just want to check something quickly i end up spending half an hour on instagram or wherever. my. question montauk is one of a handful of researches in germany systematically researc

it's possible that a lot of people are not going to turn it on. >> reporter: facebook will gather data on your non facebook activities but will disconnect them from your profile is won't reduce the number of ads you see. >> they just won't be tarted to you. facebook it will also make you news feed possibly less personalized because it won't be tracking what news sites you go to. >> reporter: as for businesses, the number of people checking on their ad will be tracked but they won't know who checked it out. the feature isn't available in the us. it's tested in ireland, spain and soaks before it is rolled out to other markets. the mat form not saying exactly when they will expand the program to the u.s. only saying it will be this the coming months. >>> dozens of celebrities taken in by a copyright hoax making the round on instagram. it claims instagram will have permission to take photos and messages and make them public and can be used against people in court. usher and julia roberts, the continue u.s. secretary of energy, rick perry reposted a ron statement that says instagram does not have permission and

opportunity to be told how facebook is a pertaining to data what type of data facebook is obtaining about em because what users don't realize is that they don't have to actually be on facebook in order to have the data being extracted used so misused on some occasions so facebook will simply allow you to say to to to see what websites share with facebook. then facebook is really goes. 2 to the show with advertises however. the control isn't going to be a complete control so even if you tell facebook look i don't really want you to share the state or my data any longer we does that by the websites stop sharing your data but facebook will will do is facebook will disconnect you name and personal details from the data which will continue extracting the data and showing the data. what we are not sure about what happens if you then change your mind and say you want to. you want to change again the default settings. how how that date that it had been previously obtained will be will be used again is it going to be going to be reconnected with your name reconnect with your details. look the the impression giving is that users will be giving some more information a little bit more

on their as an alternative vpn. it routed internet activity through facebook so facebook could see what apps were people downloadingtheir phone, what websites were they visiting, that kind of thing. it gives them a sense of what is popular, what is growing. it is a way to spy on the competition a little bit without spying on the competition. we have been told repeatedly this is not a surprise rac with that facebook used that data to figure out, what is the up-and-coming app of the moment? where should we be paying attention? and who should we potentially try to acquire? emily: ashkan, many of the people who worked at these companies still work at facebook. obviously the founders of instagram and whatsapp have left, but these committees are deeply embedded in facebook and facebook's culture. what would the remedies be if the ftc determines that there was an antitrust issue here? ashkan: right. i mean, there are many remedies. i know a lot of people thin jumd to things like breaking up the company permits certainly the topic of a political debate in the upcoming election, the 2020 election. the thing to think about i

apply to this new policy that twitter has put in place -- on the flip side, we've seen it with facebook and its fact checking program. facebookill put a label on certain news items that it may -- or the fact checkers they work with deem as false. look, again, they're private companies and they're able to monitor this content however they want and if they want to put a label on it, i think they have every right to do so. some people may disagree and challenge it. in the case of a "daily signal" article that we published shortly after the state of the union, we actually did publish the fact check and were able to address that matter head-on. in other cases, smaller players might not have that same ability to do so. patrick: what i think this signals is something that's really important, the different platforms are experimenting with different things in order to keep their platforms as accessible as possible to the widest possible user base. and ultimately, that is something that goes against these claims that conservatives have that they are being broadly censored. i can't think of any company that bases their business model on

on facebook. videos reach a ton of eyeballs. 3 billion views on facebook, twitter. anks every traditional news outlet. it comes in 11th, 11th among anybody creating videos at all, not just news people. it is really visible, really out there. it really likes president trump. epoch spent 11,000 pro-trump ads in the last six months. put that in perspective. that is more money on pro-trump ads than anybody other than the campaign itself and more than candidates spent on their own. that engagement has made the epoch times a key component of the president's re-election campaign. the president's own facebook page has posted content at least half a dozen times this year, with several articles written by members of the trump campaign. so who is behind the opoch times. ? it is a chinese spiritual community. they are to take down the chinese government. ben, listen, you have been working on this with our colleague for some five months now. you call it one of the strangest stories you have ever covered. >> reporter: yep. >> talk us through some of the other headlines here. >> re

on facebook most people are not using real accounts. they create fake ones. and we have a pretty good sense of what a typical new user on facebook looks like. i usually use my dad as an example. a couple tunes ago i got him on facebook and at first he only friended my mom and my brother. he did not post a lot right away he was figuring out how it works and they started using emojis and i regretted getting him on facebook. [laughter] but that's a typical new user. where somebody trying to create a phase account to spread miss information or spread information quickly will since people right away who don't have much connection to one another in joint a lot of groups and like a lot of pages in the activity that they are doing is not typical new user so machine learning is a place where we can use that to try to flag some of the things that might say, this may not be who they are. and then those will go through human review where we might have enough signals to reconstruct they're down right away and in fact we block both accounts at the moment of creation. whether we block that. but for those that might be a little bit harder then

it is the largest source of paid pro-trump content on facebook other than the trump reelection campaign. their pro-trump on facebook is larger than any facebook effort made by democratic candidate at all. the epoch group is doing all of this. they're all doing this and promoting them since they're getting the kind of promotion they want, too. this is as big as it gets in pro-trump media now. the people in 9/11 still living underground city or slaves to hillary clinton or something, something. >> abc news today, trump, qanon and i mpending judgment day. >> stay with us. judgment day. >> stay with us. do your asthma symptoms ever hold you back? about 50% of people with severe asthma have too many cells called eosinophils in their lungs. eosinophils are a key cause of severe asthma. fasenra is designed to target and remove these cells. fasenra is an add-on injection for people 12 and up with asthma driven by eosinophils. fasenra is not a rescue medicine or for other eosinophilic conditions. fasenra is proven to help prevent severe asthma attacks, improve breathing, and can lower oral steroid use. fasenra may cause all

facebook's offering. i just would like to know who your competition is. it's not readily apparent. facebook's terms of service maintain that users on their data come yet facebook has repeatedly prevented users from transferring their data to certain rival platforms, including twitter, boxer and message me. how do you reconcile facebook's stated policy that users own their data with facebook's repeated refusal to allow users to transfer their data to rival platforms? >> we do offer data portability product and we offer that product for a long time. it's called download your information. we have improved product in the wake of the gdpr in europe we are actually a member of the speedy you can actually transfer the facebook data to another platform? >> you are able to take your data out to facebook to another platform, yes. we are also members of the data transfer project along with several of the companies to to look for ways to facilitate better data portability. our ceo mark zuckerberg has called for regulation in this area, , because of many of the difficult technical and privacy issues at stake. it's one we're hoping to look to work with congress on to improv

facebook announced a breakthrough in its mind—bending plan to create a device that allows people to type just by thinking. a ucsf study funded by facebook uses electrodes on the brain. facebookhe way for a non—invasive wearable device that can process a hundred words a minute. if at first you don't succeed... hoverboard man franky zapata is to reattempt crossing the english channel. his previous efforts saw him fall into the water halfway across while trying to land on a refuelling vessel. nd the heatwave may have passed but it does not make this device any less cool. sony have developed a wearable air—conditioning device that, using a method known as the peltier effect, will cool you by up to 13 degrees or heat you up by up to eight. all on a single charge. and, finally israeli developers have created a device to help you find mosquitoes in your room, even in the dark. the wonderfully—named bzigo uses lasers and some fancy optics to identify and then point out, literally, the location of the pesky bug. you will still need to get your swatter out — the device doesn't do that... yet. to make the whole food industry more sustainable, we are also going to need to broaden our di

facebook works through this election? >> there have been two kind of storylines in just the last week. one is the s.e.c. thing. it has been ongoing, but it is really the idea that facebook doesn't want to be viewed as a security. it doesn't want to be regulated in that way. there is kind of a debate on where facebook's birch ra should fall. the second is facebook has 28 partners with them on this, none of which have said anything over last few months. they are now asking them will you please speak up and support this thing? those are the issues facebook is fighting right now just for get this off the ground. it seems like it is going to be a long road for them for sure. emily: david, what is your take on this whole libra thing? >> well, first of all, they probably shouldn't have announced it when they did. they have way too many other problems, p.r. and real, to deal with. this is not the time for them to be trying something so fundamentally new, so landscape altering, when they haven't address other issues like we were discussing before. on the other hand, the problem they say they are trying to address, in particularly to help with remittances, one of the biggest money sources in world. people working outside of their home country, sending money back. it it would be a major service to the world ec

facebook will probably face questions if there are any plans to somehow connect. to some of facebook's services like for example or also the messenger services but this is really only one of many regulatory issues that facebook is facing with libra and with its other services in general as well now staying on tech giants french president and model and urged the u.s. to get big tech to pay more taxes now is washington washington under any real pressure to do so well i mean if you look at the united states there is old soul that trend and there are some movements here specially when it comes to trust the behavior the market power that some of the big companies companies have but i do not see any pressure on the u.s. side to really go on board with the french or government at this point why should washington have any interest to help europe to collect taxes from us corporations and culture there on wall street for us thank you very much flying is a dirty business literally the environmental impact of flights is huge german chancellor angela merkel told an inaugural national aviation conference in the city of leipsic that germany should be a world leader in climate friendly aviation. the heavy hitters from the g

on the flipside we seen it with facebook and its fact checking program. facebook will put a label on certain news items that it may deem or the fact checkers that it works with making is false. look, again they are private companies and their able to monitor this content however they want and if they want to put a a label on it i think thy have every right to do so. some of us may disagree with that and then challenge it. in the case of a daily signal article, which was published shortly after the state of union we did challenge the fact check and were able to address the matter head-on. in other cases smaller players, individuals might it have that same ability to do so. >> guest: what i think the signals something that's really important is that different platforms are trying an experiment with different things in order to keep the platforms as accessible as possible to the widest possible user based and that is something that goes against these claims that conservatives have that they're being broadly centered. i can't think of any company that faces the busine
