Leading the charge even threatening to reduce and withdraw advertising from the social media platform if things dont improve. Unilever will not invest in platforms or environments that do not protect our children or which create division in society consumers do care about fraudulent practice fake news and russians influencing the us election they do care when they see their brands being placed next to ads funding terror or exploiting children now the message is clear no more deception abuse and controversy and a new era of positivity unity and includes everybody but a closer look at unilevers own p. R. Record reveals a contentious history from this infamous dove soap placed on facebook triggering a storm of accusations of racism to fair and lovely Skin Lightening Products marketed across asia spawning allegations of perpetuating racist colonial stereotypes to control us hes with me and sexism culminating in a damning report on chauvinists that marketing. Officer apologizing unilever has said its now to change its ways its released a new adverts advocating inclusive ety it wants facebook to follow suit or else lets face it though unilever probably wont drop one of its biggest advertising platform money talks but the story probably has generated some good p. R. The butyl uber as any company is primary responsibility is to make money for its shareholders too to turn a profit and sometimes p. R. Initiatives like this are part of it there are just an effort to elevate your brand i think it would be difficult for them as a company that makes Consumer Products to avoid advertising one of the most prominent platforms today but what about the central actor in the whole story. Yes book the platform has shown commitment to the battle against fake can use and abuse but the floodgates have now been truly opened under pressure left right and center to moderate to censor to sanitize and seems to have buckled under the squeeze well it has made itself very vulnerable because it has made these promises and its even done some things to try to filter misinformation out of its social network even though they have tried to do things it doesnt appear to be working were going to see a lot of pressure increasing pressure on facebook unilever things that could fix it by giving including marketplace pressure on facebook im a little bit skeptical that that will actually work facebook is tackling an ever growing list of calls and ultimatums first from politicians and Security Services now it seems corporations that shipping into facebook spending to dumonds could well backfire. Told Us Democratic lawmaker has called for emergency meetings on alleged russian meddling thats on top of the three major investigations already underway in the United States Jerrold Nadler thinks the Current Administration is not doing enough to address the threat which he describes as being equivalent to bombs and bullets we want to protect us so this is a very Severe Threat and this is as much an attack on the face as if there were bombs and bullets as an attack on our essential governing structure amid the continuing allegations of trump russia ties one of the investigators on the Senate Intelligence committee has found himself and brought in control to see exactly who has the details on that. In case you havent noticed the Democratic Party is very worried about big bad russia the film portals into our society the kremlin clan russia has harnessed the tremendous and quite frankly to me frightening power of social media truly troubling evidence of the scope and reach of russias interference in our last election and the top democrat on the senates Russian Investigation mark warner is no exception to the rule im concerned. But the president still does not recognize the severity of the threat but apparently warner does and he will do anything necessary to battle moscows reach based on leaked Text Messages between the senator and a second party it looks like when it comes to the russian threat the ends justifies any means and could in attempting to carry out some collusion of your own several of the messages show warner trying to arrange a secret meet up with Christopher Steel the former spy behind the now Infamous Trump dossier we want to do this right private in london i want to send less yet because if we cant get agreement would rather not have paper trail so who was warner depending on the set up the clandestine meeting with steel that would be one mr adam walton a lobbyist best known for acting on behalf of the russian tycoon i had to do pasta and according to the text while mine is also connected to julian asuncion another person accused of being a kremlin puppet now this is all under the table warner repeatedly refused to make the invitation to speak to seal officially in writing while at the same time telling weldon that the pairs efforts would be helping america and apparently in his mind the way to do that is to be includes with the confidant of one of the richest men in russia and according to republican senator marco rubio the whole Senate Intelligence committee has known about the contacts for months so if the other the democrats nor the republicans care about warners conduct is it just that collusion is a problem reserved for only one party or is the reality here that russia is just being used in a political game of chess one or said it one point we have to be careful of paraphrasing here i dont want a paper trail now if what he was doing was fine and dandy and innocuous and no big deal then why would he care if there was a paper trail he certainly should have or his staff should have known who he was communicating with who this lobbyist represented if youre going to talk to a lobbyist about getting a one on one face to face with Christopher Steele then you should know who youre dealing with in trying to arrange that need. The fix was in the ta is or between the democrats and russia more so than anything trump ever had to do with russia but it just shows what hypocrites they are and the American Media just ignores these things this is a sensitivity in poland over its nazi occupied past a senior president ial adviser come under fire for defending a controversial new holocaust well its a new still to come after the break. But the war hard sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the Chicken Hawks forcing you to fight the battles that. The new socks try to tell you that will be gossip and public by. Telling me. By product. Of the hawks that we along. With one. Manufacture consent to the public will. When the ruling classes protect themselves. With the famous larry. King or middle of the room sick. Welcome back an advisor to the polish president is under fire for what some are calling anti israeli comment he was defending a new law that prohibits statements about poland being responsible for the crimes committed by the nazi regime against the jews in the second world war. And suppose sentiments in israel comes from the feeling of shame and the passivity of the jews during the holocaust the new law also makes it illegal to refer to nazi death camps situated in the country as polish ones those violating the law could face up to three years in jail and the president ial advisor went even further in defending the legislation the religion of the whole caused has become a symbolic shield for their country which is used by israel to create for itself a special position in many places in the world many jews in gauged in denunciation collaboration during the war i think israel has still not work to throw more than three million jewish people lived in poland before the war most of them were killed during the conflict the auschwitz birkenau camp which was built in poland during the nazi occupation so around one million jews lose their lives there usually magazine columnist mark shulman thinks the new law will affect polands relations with its fellow e. U. Members. The problem with the law is not so much the fact it says you cant say polish death camps but the fact the law says you cannot diminish the role of the nazis which means that if you say that the poles had some part of it you are violating the law and by all accounts while the nazis were the ones who are ninety percent responsible for the holocaust and what happened in poland clearly the poles who were involved include cases where the poles were part of the part of the problem and so its a real problem of course the question of freedom of speech as well freedom of people to study the holocaust to talk about the holocaust and not to mention the fact that thousands and thousands of israelis go every year to visit many of them High Schoolers and the question is when their guides go to poland do they have to be afraid to speak their truth and speak of what went on in poland i think this will have an effect on poles relations with the western europe at this point i mean its part of a series of actions that the polish government has taken their member of the e. U. And yet theyre testing the e. U. And its ability to accept a much more nationalistic government in poland. Later today u. K. Court is expected to announce the result of an appeal by wiki leaks editor Julian Assange she against an arrest warrant for breaching bail in britain hearing a week ago held up that warrant hes been stuck in the Ecuadorian Embassy in london for over five years after seeking asylum there and has to see a check and looks at his fight for freedom. When one door closes another door opens but not for julian a songe holed up inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in london for years on end he has heard all after hurdle to overcome to walk a free man without being forced to look over his shoulder but the seemingly Endless International saga could be about to turn a new page as a judge in london continues to consider whether the arrest warrant against the weak you leaks founder could be dropped last week amidst a media frenzy it was decided that the suspension of an investigation into alleged crimes in sweden that first led to his arrest was not sufficient reason to drop the warrant but asuncion and his defense team believe his freedom is long overdue new judgment on whether to lift the u. K. Warrant for my arrest two issues one cover up by the u. K. Government of its collusion to keep me to taint to already served over three times the max theoretical sentence even before seeking asylum the cover up of sondre first two is based on newly released confidential emails between prosecutors in sweden and the u. K. Seen and reported on by the u. K. s Guardian Newspaper swedish investigators who ended their inquiries into Sexual Assault allegations against the weak you leaks founder last year reportedly wanted to do so much earlier only to be told by the british side to hold on as costs shouldnt be an issue and that the case should not be treated as just another extradition the latter has always been a songes biggest fear he believes the United States want him for scandalous revelations weiqi leaks published about their activities around the world this case is and has always been about the risk of extradition chain United States and that risk remains real he needs an issue and so he will not be extra to the United States to face prosecution and those are assurances that wont come from inside a courtroom what happens there is significant in terms of potentially opening legal doors one by one but the end game is much trickier than that because its what. Happens even if a songe walks out these doors thats going to decide his future in the long run and. This all stems back to twenty ten when sweden launched a Sexual Assault case against him june twenty twelve the wiki leaks editor and to the Ecuadorian Embassy and asked for asylum a day later the u. K. Court issued an arrest warrant for breaching bail conditions but austria though sweden dropped the case against him so the u. K. Of arrest warrant is the last legal challenge the prevents a sound from leaving the embassy nowhere across that well let you know the courts decision as soon as its known. The vigils being held for the victims of sundays at his oscar outside moscows christ the savior cathedral seventy one candles were lit for the people who lost their lives in that tragedy that plane crashed minutes after taking off from Moscows Domodedovo airport he was heading to oscars city near russias border with catholics stop. Just see what they truly believe but it did they did it. Can leach the condition well it. Was. Huge it. For troops to see people. Listening. To. Especially. The english people still works. Really sort of her first serious and her. Last nearly one year when the other side of the stalinist is terrible because your family was around the surface there are also this hostility out of place around the city not just those who want to preserve a certain style or taste. Around a thousand people are now involved in the recovery operation thats already covering around thirty hectares of Land Specialist lifting vehicles are expected at the scene later to remove some of the larger parts of the wreckage while work continues to recover and identify the remains of the victims both the planes flight recorders are in the hands of investigators right now but they get to give any indications as to the calls of the crash. Thanks for choosing r. T. To update you this hour ill be back with more world developments in about half an hour see them. Tens of billions hundreds of billions probably a trillion dollars of u. S. Government subsidies a seat on the Energy Industry yes government can subsidize mining of big brother crypto currencies and put those into while its called american citizens going to each have an automatic wallet tied to the Social Security account and they can get a daily weekly or monthly air drop of crypto coins that they can then years to boost economy with the government can easily do that. For most illusional me spokesmen can. Just use it just didnt remove them which is mission. For a. Little bit so. Yes i must try. To get through some are. Just. In the. League. Ok but i think they also think something. About a cause. Meek little bit can you step see. The. Ratings of salutation who doesnt love a good spy story arc watchers and boy oh boy oh boy oh boy did we get a doozy this week or both the intercept and the New York Times released competing stories featuring one hundred thousand dollars cash drops shady Intelligence Agency middleman the promise of trump russian compromise that and the danger of stolen n. S. A. Hacking tools you know tom clancy couldnt write it any better. Ian fleming could but i digress writing for the intercept james risin outlines how the n. S. A. Was desperate to recover documents that intelligence officials believe russia had obtained through a Mysterious Group known as the shadow brokers but once the Communications Channel open the russians on the other side offered to sell documents related to trump along with these stolen n. S. A. Documents risin goes on to write how the cia was wary of accepting the trump documents initially worried about not only the motives behind the offer but the potential political blowback as well meanwhile over of the New York Times Matthew Rosenberg reported that after months of secret negotiations a shadowy russian built american spies out of one hundred thousand dollars last year and that the episode ended this year with american spies chasing the russian out of western europe spy story told well rising story didnt mention the hundred grand both stories all timidly concluded that the russia russian go between offering all the info could not be relied upon or trusted but i guess that didnt stop us from handing over a hundred thousand grand to him in the process the cia has come out firing telling a fee that this is a fictional story that the cia was built out of a hundred grand is patently false the people swindled here were james rising and mad rosenberg. Journalist versus the cia the cia versus credibility the n. S. A. Still left wondering whether hacking tools under the up and the russia gaiters all of the russia gators once again disappointed that reality just does not reflect their fantasy i guess its time to start watching the hawks. What. It looks like. Its like. At the bottom if you. Like you know that i got. This. Weeks. Welcome on the watch of the hawks i am a robot throw and im taffeta while thats a lot of spies this weekend to have big spy was spying novel here go along and yet somehow we dont seem to get more information about this by that suppose the reason were investigating spying and the first. Its too hard to keep an eye was too hard to keep up now that was a fascinating think as you saw like the intercept story came out like earlier on friday and then suddenly out came the New York Times and i had first to think like oh we were negotiating for information to get like these hacking tools then we got like russia gate to trump russian collusion the russians themselves wanted to sell the us and then suddenly the New York Times story comes out undercuts all of that and says no they were built out of one hundred grand and that like all these people seem to be kind of ponies and not really who they say they were and not really representing what they said they represented which is begs the question and said we believe the cia when they come out today you know saying that they never paid the russians off for they are in. Im asian or anything that we didnt pay anybody but the cia literally has a policy of not confirming or denying so them saying its not is odd to me it is because they wouldnt normally speak on this sort of stuff they wouldnt have any they would say theres nothing i mean that would mean the guy from the gong shows they still havent confirmed that he thats true is or isnt and wasnt a cia or was a spies so how do you know. Its very bizarre is a very strange story this idea they wanted to pay for information that was theirs but it got stolen but they wanted it back yes. Yes it is an odd one it is and because of that it begs the question of why would the you know n. S. A. Pay for mation compromise hacking tools you know when the question would be you know its not like you could just make a copy of it right away its all a photocopy right because we dont know they have an answer to that but there was an answer to that right one of the things that they did say about that was arise and reported that the shadow brokers theft of these us but the fact that us officials wanted to see how deep it went how much they actually have but then my question is again what youre doing is relying on stolen information from people who stole information from you and youre youre paying one hundred thousand dollars it wasnt going to just be a hundred thousand dollars apparently not they would have kept going it was a million well you sort of already know you started at ten million immediately drawn to him and then you got this weird hundred thousand dollars that no one wants to take responsibility for that apparently there they were using the whole negotiations where they were using like an american businessman to like act as proxy of the sort of go she ations and the other guy was supposedly acting as proxy for like you know Russian Intelligence Services i mean to me it really at the end of the day tab it really does this big this question because theyre trying to say well what was it like a. But it hang out where they try to like get us to buy Bad Information thats easily disprovable of like trump russian meddling so that way the intelligence agencies look bad so the question now is was the bad trump and so designed by russians to make the us agencies look bad or was it just really just like a shady character in europe who figured out a way to build goble u. S. Intelligence agencies for some money because then when theyre like you know do we dont trust the information the guy just took a drink walked away you know hes like oh ok im out you know you were saying like which is it those is which was somebody who was trying just trying to make you know shady russian making a off of idiotic americans. Or who was an idiotic americans. I say yes to both i think it is a little of both honestly i think its odd that we would be spending resources and time and not realize that this is how this works you send out Bad Information in order to make them look bad and truthfully but its worked there even if it was just so you know. National who wanted to just build some people and make the americans look bad either way it just looks ridiculous so it starts getting stolen all the time we cant even keep our hacking tools safe i wont we get our hacking tools stolen we use lots of money and resources to get them back even though now theyve already got them and all that stuff is out because its been leaked so why are we and its not a secret anymore is it is before we accepted one good note is that n. S. A. Was communicating like theyre heard like the guy you want to know if the u. S. Government is truly doing this to the n. S. A. It was using their tweets from over the summer about like morse code as code to this guy to let them know that it really was the u. S. Government you know interested in what he had to say so what does this tell us more were dont trust what the n. S. A. Tweets thats probably code for something. Lisa lucas a lifelong resident of West Virginia is planning to run for the states house of delegates and one of the reason shes running as her discussed with big money buying power that belongs to the people at a recent public hearing for West Virginia bill age before two six eight an oil and gas industry sponsored bill that would allow companies to drill on land without the owners permission lucas pointed out the hypocrisy of the public airing this. Short simply because the public only gets a minute forty five while lobbyist can throw a gala at the marriott with whiskey and wine and talk for hours to the delegates. But when locust begins reading off the donations members of the committee had received from the very corporations who would benefit from the legislation those members felt she was making a personal attack eventually silencing with lisa lucas first stating those facts. In the. First place. Whats even worse she wasnt just being comical when she mentioned whiskey and wine the Shale Energy Alliance literally you had a whiskey wine and policy winter legislative reception at the Charleston Marriott hotel two days before the public hearing lukas attended the purpose was according to them for legislators suppliers and other supporters will attend the event to network a Discussion Energy alliances legislative priorities so if she is simply spokes facts why were these little legislating snowflakes feeling so darn attacked well as lisa lucas put it quote if they feel attacked by mentioning their donors to me they shouldnt be taking that money and quote facts were. True fact this is this is great because what this points out is exactly what everybody is harped on government across the land for doing especially here in the states on local national bedroll the whole bit because here you have achieved a great point you guys can go of one cigars and hang out and talk about shale energies legislative priorities for hours on end but citizens get about a minute forty five in the morning each to get up there and just say where they are yeah they are like this bill or not yet and if the facts are a little too like uncomfortable for them they know and lets her know attack telling people where i get my money from this guy who was sitting up there said that she was doing personal attacks thats what the drug are way they said well youre down there youre getting personal you make it explicit of course and would say that person should just go up and say oh this dude you know. I dont like him but she was a she was no not at all saying fast she was some what lobbyists these Guys Campaign she wasnt stating like this guys a jerk face i dont like it was you say well theres Oil Company Gave x. Amount of money to this Guys Campaign this Oil Company Gave x. More with it that its Public Record its not theres not ill do something thats not known these things are facts and the legislation shes talking about benefits they business you know not the little guy and thats this this whole thing in West Virginia as they keep pushing this like well if we could just get coal back because you know black lung hasnt been popular in the last couple of decades you know it was a bill that they were trying to vote on that sparked all this so this was a bill forty two sixty eight so what it what it says is that a majority of seventy five percent of the owners of shares of a single piece of property could determine whether the property could develop for our
