Its good for but a lot of smiles i dont think personally i think you should study the stuff she was already seated he might individually like the piece or she didnt defeat above it but he just let me push touch of the robot you know just. A very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q and moscow thanks for joining us this hour. For years in germany a vulnerable young boys have been placed in the foster care of pedophile men a damning study by held in Time University also says the authorities either ignored evidence of abuse or were complicit in letting it continue cases are as recent as 2003 and they stem back to the 1960 s. It all over has been speaking with some of the victims who came forward decades of abuse carried out by those put in a position to protect the most vulnerable in society for 30 years starting in the 1970 s. But a little thorough placed children in the care of a convicted paedophile named priests a church i spoke to 2 of his victims to protect their right to anonymity will be named only spin and marco. Our daily lives were dominated by instructions we were shielded from the outside world like a sect most of the time we faced violence if we wanted to go out or meet someone else we were intimidated and told these people were bad that we should have nothing to do with them if we wanted to go anyway we were forbidden every day was mental and physical mistreatment and were only realizing this now we were forced to do things we wouldnt normally do because we were threatened that was our life the worse the treatment the more you felt this person was important to you every day with this man was a fight for survival and the fight to preserve yourself what makes this more troubling is that the lives of these men as well as others were essentially being toyed with as part of an experiment so venerated psychologist helmet even after his death in 2010 was regarded as a founder of modern. He was in effect a little more than a matchmaker putting neglected children into the care of predators. We learned about this experiment when doctor called in 2017 my thought was this cant be true i was not a mere product of chance i was deliberately selected by the Berlin Branch of the s. P. D. Party the ruling party at the time that hired a mercenary to destroy our lives in an experiment when we heard about it we felt anger and pure bewilderment what particularly bothers us is that the names of those responsible are missing but there must be a further investigation in my opinion this is one of the greatest crimes of the postwar era the fact that it was really an experiment is shameful and very humiliating it was tolerated for decades no one ever came along and asked how we were doing life with our foster father was going nobody ever came over to check. Those responsible are still sitting in offices or enjoying their pensions theyre trying to hide behind a statute limit. Patients to torpedo another investigation is shameful that the perpetrator the organization is hiding behind legal quibbles to avoid shedding light on it this criminal organization should not be behind the investigation the care system in germany has changed dramatically since scandalous time when it comes to who can act as a Foster Parent authors of a study into the kempler experiment of told r. T. That there is no way his crimes were carried out without the Welfare Office being directly involved in germany of course to care is the responsibility of the youth Welfare Offices still children and adolescents who leave and forced to homes always grow up on just 8 observation the things that occur in foster homes we examined could not have happened without the knowledge of officials in the u. Welfare authorities there has never been this state investigation into the actions of kempler and his experiment in senators told us they are pushing for a nationwide examination to look at the real scale of the abuse since we have nationwide connections further Research Going to bill in the dead only to berlin the center for education youth and family has said that she wants to submit an application to the conference of ministers to deal with Sexual Violence and foster homes the victims of abuse say the knowledge of the girl in government it makes them accomplices in the crimes then and marco of pushing for legal action today after having been failed by the authorities. The Berlin Senate is 100 percent involved the bird in senate initiated it and then tolerated it its already been admitted verbal leap but not legally from the very beginning the only thing that mattered to them was how to keep the problem small then criminal charges were put forward we file charges in the senate kept in touch with us since then theres been no contact with the senate its impossible to. Build up such an organization on this scale without state help. We expect justice our lives have been destroyed we are on able to work and we have become aware that we are just a pile of misery we were put in the situation by the government deliberately it was not an accident as we saw it until now it is a matter of course that the senate will make amends the senate has offered as 10000. 00 euros in return for us taking no further action against it the names of those responsible and the consequences for these people are still missing as long as it stays like that things are not over this is a particularly her ruling story of exploitation and failure to protect the state who is expressly directed to protect. The top court has rejected a data sharing agreement that allows big tech firms to transfer european users information to the United States after a privacy complaint was raised over far reaching u. S. Surveillance doesnt entirely mean an end to transatlantic data sharing though more on that we cross live now to our correspondent charlotte. What does this ruling mean. Well this ruling will be welcomed by many who for years of be concerned about privacy breaches with their information as european citizens being transferred to the u. S. What the top court has done today is say that that deal is invalid this is a deal between the u. S. And the e. U. Something called Privacy Shield now its been a longstanding issue and the case originally emerged over facebook but other Tech Companies also use the same mechanism now a privacy advocate was unhappy that his data could be apparently passed on to authorities in the United States and thats because when the data is transferred to the unite. It states to these companies a u. S. Law requires that they hand over that personal data to agencies such as the n. S. A. To the f. B. I. And it is used by thousands of other u. S. Tech companies now this ruling today has been welcomed by Digital Rights champions. We have repeatedly highlighted legal and policy developments that called into question the validity of the arrangement including enhanced u. S. Surveillance the chill disregard for human rights globally. So originally this all started back in 1995 when the e. U. And the u. S. Came to an agreement that was then called safe harbor for this transfer of data to take place and it was at a time when perhaps many people werent using the internet or were not concerned about their privacy being shared now an austrian called max rems was really concerned about this and brought a case all the way in 2013 and that followed revelations that were made by the whistleblower former n. S. A. Employee Edward Snowden who talked about the scale of surveillance that was taking place and the leaks now after that thought im not happy about this im going to take it to court and he did and he actually won back in 2015 with the top court overturning that agreement which was called safe harbor but what happened then is that the e. U. And u. S. Came up with that new agreement called privacy sri old now max rams was with this new agreement saying it was pretty much exactly the same all but in name. The one side the government surveillance our presence shield doesnt change anything on the. Moment you can address but shes only going to tell you that everything is fine or not which is not going to tell you anything about your case or not even going to tell you if you were even subject to surveillance. So now Privacy Shield too has seen the end of it days with this ruling by the European Court of justice to now is deemed to be invalid so is this a big win for max sram well according to the court it would be because they were concerned about the privacy of data of european citizens but the reality is there are already other mechanisms in place between the e. U. And the u. S. For the transfer of this data that is already being used by. Companys so a win for now but it seems that the fight for trends and of the Digital Rights campaign is is far from over. R. T. Charlotte him and say thank you for bringing us that report. And im going to cross live to privacy campaigner and Technology Expert bill meehan for a live analysis on this how significant is this ruling is it a big when. This is a massive rebuke for the u. S. Surveillance activities on a scale that weve never seen before this is a far bigger ruling potentially than say all that went before it because this is the 2nd time its been struck down and i dont think theres any way back here. To put another arrangement in place that would be similar in fact they tried that before proves he shield was very much just putting lipstick on a pig that was very different little difference between Privacy Shield and save all the before it and there is no rights of appeal here for those in the u. S. That want to provide this and i dont see a way forward in doing so so proceed sealed is just about dead but there are standard contractual clauses and other better job sharing data but in doing so youve got to be really really careful what states your sharing and whether your opening up any potential 1st surveillance and therefore while the data sharing can continue theres going to be a great deal more scrutiny about what data were sharing and potentially a lot more data is going to be returned on shore in europe and held here where it doesnt really need to be taken to america when what this comes down to is the e. U. Wants a guarantee from the u. S. That its citizens wont be snooped on but how realistic is that is there really any sort of rock solid guarantee that could be given. Well you need to look at the different types of tapes where youve got sort of transactional data where youve got a Companies Find that jol or production data this doesnt apply because its not private information that the ruling here is only about private information about individuals and even where thats applies there are certain times when we need to share data with the u. S. Lets say what emailing somebody in the u. S. We need to include our name and our email address otherwise they dont know who its coming from and they dont know who to reply to and he did have similar information for the recipient or the email will never get through oh and also if were doing a Hotel Booking or Something Like that we need to provide some of our own information in order to book a hotel in our name but when were actually sharing information on messaging applications or on facebook where we just communicating with friends and family here in europe is there really any need for that data to leave the european shores go to america no there isnt and safe harbor was a very broad agreement with little allow that to happen under the they strike down of this arrangement standard contractual clauses have to be drawn up and they would be in a political in areas where surveillance is going to go home and somebody wants is commonplace for almost all large communication indices Information Service providers in the u. S. The likes of facebook Amazon Google and others where they frequently hand information over to the n. S. A. Or the cia the f. B. I. And thats exactly what this ruling is seeking to prevent. Technology expert thank you so much for your time and your comments. New York Police Officers endured a vicious attack by a protester on wednesday while they were supervising a mostly peaceful march against gun crime they were assaulted when marchers met counterpart testers on the Brooklyn Bridge officers were making arrests when an unidentified man is seen running towards the officers and then being met with the n. Y. P. D. Says 3 of its officers officer sustained injuries including a police chief who only last month showed his solidarity with other protesters by taking the. Beautiful moment of calm there as chief Terrance Monaghan of the new York City Police department kneeled in solidarity with protesters. Retired Philadelphia Police captain ray lewis says hes worried that officers are now seen as the peoples enemy. Theyre obviously much more concerned nowadays with being attacked due to the actions of other officers because theres such the same called the halo effect and that is now every officer it is being asserted on a brutal and an enemy of the minority population the fact is these officers were attacked totally unnecessarily what disappointed me with this is none of the other protesters even pushed this guy away to come to the ground focused weapon you want to win over. Empathy for your movement. Do the right thing 0 justice is for everybody the solution to violent protest is to confront the reason you have violent protests could from the economic disparities can confront the job like a job opportunity to confront the lack of education for black people these are the so yes that go into these protests. Still to come up remember when bristol got brassed off with its bronze of a slave trader heres what briefly went up in its place but not everyone in the city seems ready for a black lives not a monument just yet as are reports after this short break. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Place. Nation community. Are you going the right way or are you being led to see. What is true what is right. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. For a mate in the shallowness. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Ill come back to the program and the statue has briefly appeared on the plinth in the english port city of bristol where a few weeks ago it was standing monument to a slave trader was thrown into the harbor the statue of Edward Colston was torn down during a major antiracism rally last month and later was retrieved by the authorities and taken away now heres what went up in its place on wednesday its a statue of campaigner gen reid recreating the moment she stood on the plane after the rally and raised her fist in the air as youre more than a few onlookers to hear what some of the people thought about it. I think you say absolutely fantastic is good for the people bristol is good for but logs i dont think personally i think you should study this stuff she was a wreck too did he. I think it was a democracy you should be able to vote for whats by choosing the right and those who disagree with the way that the college the statue was taken down trying to change in the exact language is going to be individually like the piece what weve seen in bristol to see that the 1st that she was so you can down that started all of these things overruled people are happy the statue was gone there should have been to defeat about it just to put out there let me just push touch of you i want to know. That new sasha who has since been taken down and put in a museum the citys mayor says there needs to be a democratic process for the people of bristol to decide the future of the plinth park their party cofounder katherine blakelock says people taking it upon themselves to install a statue thats a dangerous precedent its on to democrats i think the fact that they didnt apply for Planning Commission and they. Put it up in the middle of the night shows you ashy well this movement is about this movement isnt about the people crystal the people up if they really wanted to they could apply to have planning permission to put this out they didnt. Trust to do and that a few people can decide that democracy does not matter anymore. Russian media is facing a resurgent me to chapter with a number of current and former journalists being accused of Sexual Harassment and other abuses taylor has the story.

Facebook insists it works flat out to take down offensive content but when it comes to tracking down for more sinister counselling to eisele there seems to be a problem a study by an anti extremism think tank has found hundreds of accounts have abated detection by exploiting technologies and loopholes allowing them to stay active for months. One technique was content masking by mixing up pro i saw material in videos with genuine content from real news outlets like france 24 the b. B. C. And a number of others some videos were edited to begin with content that on the face of it seemed innocuous or bland i still sometimes theres also infiltrated Common Threads to share links to known jihadi sites and the coronated raids on other facebook pages including the us military report says the accounts also gloated about being able to play the system researchers found almost 300. 00 pro eisel accounts managing to slip past facebooks moderators the site says it has 0 tolerance for terrorist propaganda and has now removed all of those accounts internet law expert near cohen says it doesnt take much for harmful content to achieve its goal only indoctrination is extremely dangerous there are people who are addicted to the material in the more they watch it the brainwash they become and it is effectively a vicious cycle there so it is extremely dangerous and you only slightly susceptible to being brainwashed which is pretty much every teenager or every every growing out will to have you know. Few problems in issues in life it is enough for them to watch a couple of those videos to start becoming brainwashed and after that they just keep watching and watching and watching. Then you end up. With young people being indoctrinated and. Effectively become the next generation of isis fighters. With millions of active users capable of reaching an audience around the globe sites like facebook struggle to stay on top of harmful content over the weekend it failed to stop a man in the u. K. From Live Streaming his suicide despite many people desperately trying to alert moderators its thought that up to 400 people watch the live stream which was later deleted and i statement facebook said it had provided the man with support documents following his initial post about his intention to take his own life youre going again things facebooks attention is more swayed by a policing of political content and protecting users from harm. Done a matter of priorities the question from facebook is where that its where does it place its own resources and that facebook seem to be extremely busy at the moment. Content moderating in relation to political views political affiliation socalled fake news. Because these are popular subjects that they feel will enable them to score some points. Thats our round up of the days top news for now as always thanks for tuning in ill be back at the top the hour with more. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offense very Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical of dying time to sit down and talk.
