I. Mean right now today on capitol hill 4 of the most powerful men in the u. S. Tech industry are being questioned on whether their platforms have violated antitrust laws in recent years as theyve risen to dominate the industry and the marketplace arties Rachel Blevins is monitoring this hearing she is joining us in studio to discuss it so rachel who is testifying today and what has led us up to this point well this hearing comes after a year of research that was conducted by the house judiciary is antitrust subcommittee and which they are looking at these 4 Major Tech Companies and trying to decide whether the major monopolies that they already have are being used to stifle their smaller competitors now of course we are still dealing with the coronavirus pandemics is a very unique situation in which these tests. The monies are being carried out virtually but they are being held from a lineup that includes alphabet c. E. O. Sundar Pichai Facebook c. E. O. Mark zuckerberg apple c. E. O. Tim cook and one of the richest men in the world amazon c. E. O. Jeff bezos so why are these Tech Companies in the spotlight right now each of them have been accused of going after their competitors and the number of ways that keeps them from growing specifically when it comes to these platforms now and we take a look 1st at apple they have been accused of manipulating their search results on the Apple App Store in such a way that they intentionally bury competitors in their search results and then they charge significant fees for apps to remain in their store for amazon they have also been accused of stifling 3rd Party Sellers through search result rankings and by charging large shipping in warehouse fees and it has even been accused of learning from the analytics used by smaller vendors to improve their own product then google has been widely criticized for the way they rank their search results and back in 2017 they were fined 2700000000 dollars by the European Commission for pushing their own products over competitors finally facebook has been criticized for its social media domination through the acquisition of instagram and whatsapp and various privacy concerns that have plagued the company for years now we did see prepared Opening Statements from each of these c. E. O. s and they didnt really address a lot of these concerns instead they tried to show ways that their platforms of help the country and what the timing of this hearing i mean is that important in any way it is and as a chairman of the subcommittee pointed out it is even more so important now because were still dealing with the lockdown from the coronavirus pandemic and that has really hit Small Businesses the hardest well at the same time making these big Tech Companies even more powerful take a listen what he said. Prior to the covert 900 pandemic these corporations already stood out as titans in our economy in the wake of covert 1900 were theyre likely to emerge stronger and more powerful than ever before as American Families shift more of their work shopping and communication online these giant stand to profit locally owned businesses meanwhile mom and pop stores on main street face an economic crisis unlike any and recent history. Now another major concern that is expected to be discussed today as this hearing plays out is all about the user information in the data that is being collected by these companies what theyre doing with it and why there hasnt been any kind of oversight were all about is concerned you know they certainly know all whole lot about all of us rich womans thank you for that update thank you.

Now the army has a Sexual Harassment Assault Response Prevention Program specifically designed to help soldiers report sex crimes however the report usually goes to a soldiers direct superior which in many cases these superiors are the known abusers but the new i am the nice again bill will allow soldiers to go to an outside party to report their case now President Trump is headed for home state of texas where he will tour the Double Energy oil rig and talk with those in the oil and gas industry that took a tough hit during the cold 19 pandemic reporting in the newsroom fair and fronsac are.

And as coping 1000 continues to dominate headlines day after day theres one medical story thats starting to get some well deserved attention new Research Shows that a simple blood test could soon be used to diagnose alzheimers disease in fact lab tests have proven to be 98 percent accurate heres arties Trinity Chavez with this incredible new discovery. Scientists that swedens university of london have developed a way to detect all simers with a simple blood test a promising breakthrough that could make the diagnosis process simple affordable and widely available all simers the most common form of dementia affects more than 50000000 people worldwide and according to the World Health Organization that number will likely triple by 2050 apportions quite common but the lot of people we have alzheimers disease to not get diagnosed and thereby do not get the symptomatic treatment that they should but now scientists have developed an experiment a blood test that was able to detect all same errors 98 percent of the time the lead author of the study has already carried out the test on more than 1400. 00 people enrolled in dimentia studies in sweden arizona and columbia the findings published in the journal of the American Medical Association indicates that a blood test can detect the tell protein one of the homework signs of all simers. There are. 2 or 3 minutes or so show higher concentration on the lower. Lower color considering the blood test which was just as accurate as more invasive methods including m. R. I. Brain scans c. T. Scans and spinal taps provides a much simpler and more affordable way to diagnose whether people with cognitive problems were experiencing all simers as opposed to another type of dementia sparking new hope for patients yet the ball is then a thought thats very good instead of taking spinal fluid you can just have a simple blood test it means you can learn about the condition before it gets worse and have support and help from people so you can live a socalled normal life even so normal day but no now the researchers say that the blood test was also able to identify symptoms of alzheimers 20 years before the patient was expected to start experiencing thinking and memory problems however they do add that more testing is needed and it could be years before this kind of test is available to the public however they do say these results are promising.

Feel like we to Pass Committee review this week and soon hit the floor aims to box President Trump into forced sanctions against russia and turkey over the ongoing power struggle in libya House Democrat ted deutch and Senate Democrat chris coons 1st floated versions of this bill last year but now it may become a reality they claim russia has somewhere between 8022500 mercenaries in sirte a group called the wagners backing Khalifa Haftar are and are also seeking to blunt russias influence in north africa so joining us for a deeper dive our panel today former u. K. M. P. George galloway and investigative journalist and author dan lazhar gentlemen good to see you both george i will start with you u. S. Lawmakers seem to be ignoring americas role in the destabilization of libya in the 1st place now trying to blunt russias efforts in the region how do you read this bill what do you think is the real reason for this action. Well that would bring to 40 countries that the United States is going to be sanctioning more than 2000000000. 00 people one in 4 human beings on the planet is under one form or other of us sanctions so the more you sign or widely you use this weapon i would have thought its efficacy began to diminish and i think those lots of evidence about the impact on talk it will not be what the United States would wish it to be on the contrary it will push turkey and russia closer together but i must see if youll forgive me if youll allow me the notion of the United States lecturing everyone on how to put libya about together again when it was the United States britain and france which destroyed libya in the 1st place is really quite hard to date president obama least small consolation described the invasion destruction of libya as his most serious mistake during his 8 years of presidency but it doesnt seem like his successor who normally runs us fast from Barack Obamas policy positions has learned anything from obamas mistake yeah how about that dan i mean george just touched on this a little bit the bill would hit both russia and turkey but given the more recent disagreements between washington and is it wise to impose these mandatory mandatory mandatory me sanctions on the turks because it would be counterproductive and push closer to moscow when it. Yeah but 1st of all it makes no sense because the 2 sides are the 2 countries are backing opposing sides of the libyan civil war so washington of course commit a complete mess at the. Spying by overthrowing gadhafi and especially bringing qatar into the to the the effort and cutter probably spent about 500000000. 00 backing various sunni jihadi groups once it entered into the fray so so but this makes no sense to ricky and russia are opposing one another theyre backing different factions the us seems to be to be leaning towards the faction thats now in power in tripoli unclear because u. S. Policy is so quickly confused i would also point out that this bill is being put forth by 2 democrats and its major purpose is to embarrass trump trump does probably does not want to get involved in libya at all and this is just part of the whole political gamesmanship thats going on in the run up to the election these games go on all the time on capitol hill its completely irresponsible and completely nuts but that seems to be the latest development and george it is being called the libya stabilization act do you find any absurdity in that george i mean can you refresh our memory on how libya became destabilized in the 1st place. Well lets listen wanda lund words mean exactly what we decided that they mean to call an intervention such as this an aid to stabilization is simply absurd as i say not least because it was us that broke the stability and done makes a brilliant point russia and turkey are backing 2 different sides but that implies there is a 3rd side so weve got war going on with the competing armies at least weve got 3 parliaments 3 prime ministers and about 100. 00 different warlords and different gangs are fighting out in libya libya is a country without borders not the least of which is the border are the use to police entry from africa across the mediterranean into europe and of course blew the doors off libya in this really ill can. We open the door of africa to europe with all the consequent political ramifications the has had so libya was a stable country we broke it and now we are backing one faction over 2 other factions and this is not likely to lead to any kind of stabilization at all its a very sorry mess i must say and one of our problems existed in libya before backing jihadists isis and alqaeda certainly wasnt the way to fix them and dan you brought up qatar a moment ago but what about egypt theyre weighing on whether or not to enter this quagmire right now they backed the tripoli government which is recognized by the u. N. They have characterized general crieff to have tar as quote a warlord of the allen a but given have ties ties to the cia here at langley having been a long time resident of Northern Virginia himself would it be wise for egypt to get involved and would in their involvement tacitly be a fight against the cia then. Oh have to our ties to the cia go very far back its not at all clear when the cia is still backing the have to are the us is so d confused to self and as george says it so thoroughly broke libya itself it has no idea what to do at this point its completely chaotic a social conditions in libya have kludged backwards you actually have slave markets in tripoli its astonishing. And this is this is this is this is what america course democratisation but but but everyones playing it very dangerous game theres a huge. Power vacuum Everyone Wants to plunge in russia turkey egypt etc no one even knows whos there on it gets more and more dangerous and the the flow of refugees gets more and more uncontrolled. And clearly what this is about is about oil i mean i mean libya is the source of this its a huge oil exporter a potentially very close to europe so therefore europe could get its hands on on cheap oil that would with very low transportation costs so thats what the interest is in libya although no one knows what to do d and which is why everybody is opposing opposite sides and just making things worse yet certainly a political grand bag right now and real briefly at this question before both of you george will quickly happening just this morning secretary of defense mark asked for announced mass troop withdrawals from germany and south korea what are your thoughts on that. Well im always happy when u. S. Troops are withdrawn from abroad the u. S. Has more than enough problems on home to fix the bug relations now between the u. S. And germany over the north stream. May be a factor in this but donald trump said hed be withdrawing forces from foreign fields im glad to say this is one Election Campaign promise hes keeping all right dan ill give you the last word there. Well according to esper the the there are only pulling troops out of germany in order to redeploy them in poland and in the in the Baltic States as well and the valving us polish alliances is very dangerous poland is in the storage area and country vehemently anti semitic castle at fundamentalist. Really are far right wing hard yet this is americas newest friend Eastern Europe and also polled of course d is fiercely hostile to russia so i think that in the end we actually may see a ratcheting up of tensions with russia right and lowering all right well keep our eyes peeled for that dam is our George Galloway gentlemen thank you for being with us.
