that is what vox is reporting.ted nearly two months to reveal a virus already exploding, people fleeing china, five million left, that squandered any opportunity to get it under control and could have pushed it worldwide. china cracked down on eight health care workers and a whistleblower doctor now dead for first sounding the alarm. talk about the censorship and bureaucratic obfuscation being a danger in communist social health system. >> in a system like that, top heavy, inimical to federalist government, where you value local government to care for people best, come from local government, move out from there for the best health care for the people. in a chinese communist government, socialist government, very top down. in the case of china particular it values loyalty to party over competency. so if you start to have individual doctors speak out and offer anything that might smell like criticism, then they immediately are done away with or shut down. and so all of this time went by and the numbers were not being

let's have a look at vox, the headline is persecutors resigned from waterstone because ‘s case afterepartment ofjustice interferes. i was about waterstone and the background of this. is a really long running story and it is fairly shocking in terms of what it is saying aboutjudicial independence of the united states. roger stone, has been sent or has been found guilty of all sorts of illegal things. he is an advisor to president trump. i'm trying to beat a justice of my words here because it is obviously still a life story. he, along with... he was charged with making false statements, obstruction and witness tampering. he was convicted of all seven councils and has been convicted of this about sentencing. this is about about sentencing. this is about a sentencing. this is about the sentencing. it is pretty interesting to see this prosecutors or resigning en masse. you can't really get a stronger statement from them about how they feel political interference is coming from the white house and from the attorney general mr barr. donald trump which tweeted about acidity? yes, yes and yo

meanwhile, vox says four lawyers who prosecuted political operative roger stone have resigned in proteston was overruled and slashed by donald trump's justice department. the guardian leads with hs2, saying pm borisjohnson has staked his political reputation on delivering a new anatomy of british transport that will boost capacity and cut journey times. downing street has now seized control of the hs2 project and promised massive new spending on infrastructure. the ft reports the federal trade commission has demanded information from the fivebiggest us tech companies, alphabet, amazon, apple, facebook and microsofton their purchases of smaller groups as part of a review into possible anti—competitive behaviour in the technology sector. and finally in the times, with valentines day approaching fast you might not want to bother with mood lighting or fancy food and wine but invest in a linen table cloth. —— valentine's day. a new study has found diners were more satisfied with their meal, lingered over it longer, and ate more when nice linen was used on a dining table. who knew? with me is

. >> and so, now, vox tweeted about the firing of mcguire and a lot of questions. i personally once he stood up for the integrity of the whistle-blower, i didn't think that he had long for that job. but then the question is about this intelligence committee briefing where somebody in mcguire's office apparently said that the russians had a preference for trump and what intelligence that is based on and we will get to that in a little bit in the show. but alex ward wrote this on twitter, i asked a white house official if he really removed mcguire over the briefing, and he said absolutely why, and anybody from here on out who is opposing the president will be fired. and is it that bad? yes, he is not fing around and just because there is a briefing that was said something that the president didn't like. >> and so the firing there to bring in rick grenell, and so longer term and what is it telling us about trump psychologically, he has a re-election and he really wants to be re-elected and he is going to ask in my judgment and we have seen it various elements of the g

deepfakes, manipulation of video, dark patterns, vox and other technologies are hurting us in direct and indirect ways. congress unfortunately has taken a laissez-faire approach to regulation of deceptive practices online over the past decade and platforms have let them flourish. the result is big tech failed to respond to the grave threats posed by deepfakes as evidenced by facebook scrambling to announce a new policy that strikes me as wholly inadequate. we'll talk about that later, since it would have done nothing to prevent the video of speaker pelosi that amassed millions of views and prompted no action by the online platform. hopefully our discussion today can change my mind about that. underlying all of this is section 230 of the communications decency act which provides online platform links like facebook a legal liability shield for third party content. many have argued that this liability shield results in online platforms not adequately policing their platforms, including online piracy and extremist content. thus, here we are with big tech wholly unprepared to tackle the c
