In an emergency algorithm to deal with misinformation in the wake of the u. S. Election. Critics say the platform is giving preference to content that supports joe biden on the world pays final respects to the argentinian football icon. At the age of 6, the politicians have all been recounting their experiences with the legend and sitting former ecuadorian president rafael correa, who spoke to our team from a poor family. So he knew 1st hand what it was like, living in hardship. We saw it as he says, duty to change something. Thats what gave him a close relationship and sympathy from progressive leaders in latin america around the clock across the world. This is our Team International from the team, myself, you know, naval alone. Welcome to the program. We begin in france, where 14 years have reportedly been charged in connection with the brutal beheading of a teacher that shocked the country back in october, thought to be among them, the daughter of a man behind an Online Campaign against something or party. He was killed after using cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to debate freedom of speech in a lesson. Charlotte dubin ski reports from paris. Well, 3 of the individuals said to be 1314 years old, and they have been indicted for complicity in a terrorist assassination. And thats because theyre said to have been the teenagers who pointed out to samuel parties who he was there for allowing that beheading to take place. The 4th teenager who has also been indicted is said to have been the daughter of the man who is widely regarded as being behind the media frenzy surrounding that lesson when some of the party showed controversial cartoons of the muslim prophet that sparked anger in the local community she has been indicted for slander. Now all 4 individuals have since been released, but they are being monitored by controls. Here in france, lets take a reminder of whats happened. Leading up to the murder of samuel patty. One of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compassion. It was the victim of an islamist terror attack. A number of individuals have been hauled in front of the police. Some have been charged, some have been let free. Others have in fact receive sentences and condemned for their part in the surrounding storm regarding that, including one mother who was sentenced for apparently celebrating his death in a facebook post. And a man from algeria who is condemned for glorifying terrorism. Again, by referring to samuel pattys death, theres also been this huge fallout. President mcewan was clear following the death of senator patty, that france wouldnt roll back from showing controversial images when it comes to talking about freedom of speech that sparked huge protests in some muslim majority, countries. Needs a Mental Health treatment. Was that he is a case and therefore he really needs to have mental checks that have that were present. My corn has being inferior ated by some english language media saying that they have twisted his words over the last 2 months or so suggesting that he was attacking islam in some way rather than islam ism. And theres been a huge amount of fake news, too. Surrounding the new which is to crack down on separatism here in france. But the reality is that many muslims here in france feel that they are being singled out. They are being targeted, not just by this law, but by the forelock force happened since summit. Pattis murder, and its likely that this is an issue that is going to rumble on for some time. The pandemic is casting a grim shadow over the festive season, including in the u. S. , where the dealy death rate is now higher than back in may. Experts say that hospitals could be overwhelmed by christmas, and with american celebrating thanksgiving, this thursday president elect joe biden was asking people to limit their celebrations for our family, for 40 40, some really tradition traveling overseas this year. On the whole jordan used for grow family traditions but its so very important for countries and middle dramatics cases, the latest polls show that most people still intend to gather with their loved ones, though that figure has declined since september. While states across the u. S. Are ruling out measures to study me, celebration plans as double quarter reports. Thanksgiving is coming up in the u. S. And that means its turkey time, although maybe not because 2020 is trying to find yet another way to ruin everybodys lives. Theres a run on small turkeys, turkeys that are 10 to 14 pounds are in high demand right now. Even if youre one of the few privileged enough to have a smaller turkey on your table this year, dont get too excited. This thanksgiving is supposed to be especially dangerous, with more people staying home for thanksgiving. More americans will be cooking at home for the 1st time, and some of them are stressed and with more amateur cooks hitting the kitchen this year, one firefighters says it could be a recipe for disaster and case thats not enough for you to stress about new yorks governor andrew cuomo, capped the amount of people you can have to dinner at 10. I dont think you can get away with an extra straggler too. Big brother cuomo was watching while cuomo didnt seem to have any problem sacrificing other peoples thanksgiving day when he urged families not to gather for the celebration. He himself invited his mother and 2 daughters home for the holiday. That wasnt long before he withdrew the invitation. But many people still arent happy about that. Cuomo is the worst governor in america. Hes arrogant and he pull chrissy knows no bounds. Do as i say. Not as i do. Pennsylvanias gathering limit isnt as draco nian as new yorks but the states alcohol ban is a trip in itself. Bars and restaurants have already been ordered to halt all. d booze sales and some people just dont understand the relation. Pennsylvania bans, alcohol, oregon, legalizes hard drugs, 2020 is wild pennsylvania and just banned alcohol for one night. Only before thanksgiving. What exactly are we come back to again and fire us alcoholism . Freedom nights before thanksgiving has historically been the biggest algal consuming night of the year, probably in preparation for the relatives. Since you cant have them over this year, you would be getting drunk just for fun. Oh, and it probably goes without saying political discussions at the dinner table this year might not be the best idea that a great postelection conversations, the stress of a hectic year and contentious president ial election could still cause dinas to turn tense. With all these new rules and restrictions, its likely americans will have little more than their safety to be thankful for this year. So should people be free to celebrate the holiday as they please . We discuss that up with a number of guests. It comes to, you know, personal responsibility and you know, individuals who want to protect their families. I think its a sign that people should step aside for thanksgiving this year and stay safe. I think bret realize asian is very important. I think freedom is very important. d and i thank our culture, you know, cultures very on a lot of dimensions. The United States is known as whats a very loose culture. Some americans feel that their own referendum is being taken away by, by these measures. But you know, your life is a fair, fair price to pay thanksgiving in your life. I dont know what i choose from what i choose. I think i choose life, but what were seeing now is so Many Americans not following the guidelines and not following the rules, is partly the fact that we do live in a loose culture where people are from a very small age, very young age sort of and courage to sort of make their own rules and force their own paths and life. Hey, im very tired of it. Ive been isolated. You know, i havent seen my mom since april. Yeah, im getting tired of that. But, you know, the bottom line is that there is this ranging pandemic out there. Its sad me actually i have tears in my eyes, seeing so many people being so irresponsible, you know, human beings will follow their emotions. And so i think theres a lot of people who are like, i know this isnt the right thing to do and you know and nonsense, but darn it, im doing it because i feel like i have to blot of people are doing compromise, were supposed to sit next to each other, you know, arm next on shoulder necks, the shoulder cutting through dying stock and warrants in concerts, conditions, and is in a lot of ways, very unnatural. And i would argue in a long term sense is very unhealthy. Its going to be the same next year. Traditions are disappearing. They, you know, because traditions have aaron grained in the, in the american psyche been going on for, you know, hundreds of years. Sacrificing one year is not going to make a difference. Theres so many ways that these, you know, these current guidelines and conditions might be good from a Public Health standpoint and they are. But i do think that there are many and you are emotionally and social and merely ill health. And i feel like thanksgiving is really just, im just like a really conspicuous example of that particular problem. Football fans, i run the world are mourning the death of argentinian legend, Diego Maradona. He passed away at his home in buenos aires after suffering a heart attack. He was 60 years old, crowds have been gathering in the argentine capital to pay their tributes to the world cup winner. The government has also declared 3. 00 days of national mourning, famous for his standing ability on the field. Ringback he was also infamous for his antics troubles off it. He will be remembered as one of the all time greats will be missed by fans all across the world. I never thought this day would come. My 1st title is gone. My only idol, hes the greatest of all the must of football. The one who gave me say everything on my letter, when i heard about it, i died with him. Thats what happened to me. Lot of people can empathize with him because you have because of the way he came from and the you know, the ability of so many people, especially those obvious time country of ours and say that the trade that you know, if he could do that, if he could come from that place and go all this way that, that we could as well. And the way that you said he wore his heart on the sleeve, i think giving that ability to have that connection, especially with fans of the teams he played for all is no doubt about that. And i think even, you know, some of maybe hes most that, you know, you could say odd and enemies if you like what he was like football, like fans of other teams or maybe of appliance managers. Why did i date down in a during that time, you know, would have not 9 times out of 1010. 00 times out of 10 would have heavy on their own team sheet if they could have. But thats such is the nature of football. But that, that relationship really do think it does come down to that such as something as simple as that. But the fact that you know football is the peoples game and that people love when they see their stars with their players. But with a hard on the slave and he going to play like that, but you have his life like that. Mark bosnich speaking to the program earlier, and it wasnt just in the world of sport that Diego Maradona touched hearts. Of course, he was also idolized by people from all speirs of society in his native latin america. We spoke to former ecuadorian president rafael correa, who became close with the footballing. Great. He described as a rebel fighting against injustice hypocrisy. It went ahead. This is a loss for the whole world for the entire argentinean nation. Its a catastrophe. You cant even imagine how maradona as adored when he did so much for the country at the 86 world cup in mexico. I wasnt at that world cup, but i was in italy in the ninetys when maradona played for napoli. He was adored, especially in southern italy, so much so that even during the argentina, italy match. Many italians supported argentina because of the number 10 because of diego, armando. Without doubt, he was a leader, a leader that never hid his political leanings. He was in favor of progressive politics. But even if you lean toward the right, it wouldnt matter. Because 1st and foremost were his personal qualities, his honesty, his leadership, his habit of seeing what he thought, one way or another. It was a warrior for social justice. He was a rubble and fought against injustice and hypocrisy of the world order. He himself was from a poor family, so he knew 1st hand what it was like, living in hardship. And he always saw it as these duty to change something. Thats what gave him a close relationship and sympathy from progressive leaders in latin america. Like fidel castro, hugo chavez, ever more else . And the man youre speaking with right now. The overwhelming majority of the argentinean people in one origin, china very well. Not only love but worship diego armando. Theres even a church in his name. And if he was a legend while he was still alive, the now when he has raced past us and left this world, hes playing football up there in the heavens. With those who have also left us, the legend has become a myth. Understand the Diego Maradona is a mythical character for argentina and much of the world that facebook has made what it calls a temporary emergency change to its older rhythm in response to the u. S. President ial election. Be social media giant ses. Its trying to or rather kate misinformation, but while knock on effect appears to be giving a preference to content. The joe biden, a week after the election, some facebook stuff referring to the algorithm. The nicer news feed reportedly discussed the possibility of it becoming a permanent feature examines whether nicer means more honest or not. Election fraud 2 words you would never associate with the United States of america. Now a phrase that could send fists flying in the country allegations of cheating have also outgrown the issue of a vote recount, as some republicans claim theyve been called and elsewhere too on social media. You know, the people that, that i hear from, of course, believe that conservatives were wrongfully being silenced, while those on the left that were given basically a free rein of your platforms. And one of the points of contention that is often brought is that you do recruit, have a leave from california, which leads to your Employee Base skewing quite heavily to the left. At 1st glance, the allegations that facebooks nonpartisan algorithms have been tweaked to give biden an upper hand dont seem too old after all, biden, and his team have been rather unflattering towards the platform to say the least. I have never been a big fan of facebook as you probably know. Ive never been a big zuckerberg fan, but the latest report suggests that this could all be smoke and mirrors, and that facebook is already buttering up the new white house landlord from promoting content which rubber stamps joe bidens talking points to secretly screwing the traffic for publications by nonmainstream and pro republican outlets, it resulted in a spike in visibility for big mainstream, publishes like c. N. N. , the New York Times and National Public radio, while posts from highly engaged hyper partisan pages such as breitbart and occupy democrats became less visible. Facebook denies any bias explaining its strives to achieve balance to the best of its ability, but some actions speak louder, suggesting a mutual affection the supposedly facebook closing joe biden doesnt seem to have a problem hiring from their roster. d d d bidens Deputy Communications director also seems to have had a change of heart and deleted tweets, giving facebook a dressing down big check. It shows he had permission this country to control who sees what they censor. Conservative news, big tech. Its been working towards this for 4 years. And it will be bored to ensure that joe biden wins their party is the democrat party. And so of course, joe biden is going to be stacking his Transition Team with members of the Silicon Valley cobol. So of course, youre going to see former c. E. O. s from facebook from, from other technology companies. They are, these are joe bidens people. Big tax is for the democrats and look what weve got coming up now. Weve got 4 years of the media, which is going to be happy dogs are people no thing to criticize here. Were already gearing up in this country for a return to the swamp, as we call it a return to normalcy. A return to war mongering, a return to big pharma, a return to all these industries that love the democrats that love globalization, and they got their man and with joe biden. Previously, facebook has repeatedly found itself in hot water with the u. S. Authorities. It seems this time the giant has finally learned its lesson and is preemptively raising the hand that could very soon be feeding it. Russias top diplomat has cold, tell it the consul of europe, are drifting away from its purpose of promoting unity, calling the ball, the dangerously politicized arties dunya. Hawkins has more Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov is in the closing stages of a working visit to minsk where he met his but a russian counterpart, foreign minister and the 2 officials. This cussing both internal events in belarus over the past few months as well as of course relations between minsk and moscow. Now, mr. Lovell in the press conference after that meeting was very critical of his german counterpart, high call, muscle mass presented his program for the coming 6 months in the politicized fashion. Striking an unacceptable tone, i would even go as far as saying it was rude, not how a diplomat should act. He made quite a few remarks. Again, they were baseless accusations regarding crimea, abkhazia south, the setio transnistria and the southeast of ukraine. The level of there was referring to comments that high call mass made at the meeting of the committee of the council of europe, which germany is due to take presidency off shortly. In his speech mass was very critical of a number of points, 1st and foremost, crum years of reunification with russia, which the German Foreign minister described as a violation of international law. That event has, of course, been a huge bone of contention between europe and russia for quite some time. Russia views things very, very differently, stating that reunification took place democratically after a referendum on the peninsula. Germanys top diplomats was also quick to point the finger at other issues. Russias involvement in the conflict between georgia and South Ossetia as well as the presence of Russian Peacekeeping troops in the breakaway moldovan region of transistor trio. The lover of was very quick to return some of the criticism as well. Both Foreign Ministers in fact noted the amount of western involvement in other countries and affairs, most notably in belarus, following that president ial election in august and the political turmoil that ensued in the country thats carrying on until this day. Among other topics was the arms control treaties. That stating there wasnt a lot to be discussed and not a lot of agreement could be reached on those issues with the outgoing u. S. Administration. Just that music was the trumpet, ministration. Currently at the helm. I dont see how we could agree on anything in earnest regarding arms control. We dont know yet who the next administration will be comprised of. Well see how those people will mold us policies after the 21st of january. A lot of this rhetoric were hearing is neither new nor surprising, but with a lot of these issues in particular, arms control the open skies treaty, which the u. S. Pulled out from very recently, becoming salient over the past weeks and months. Its hoped that with the new incoming u. S. Administration, it is charts for both sides that take, a step back and have a fresh look at the situation to the u. K. , where the architect behind the freedom of information act is calling for a probe into what a new report has described as an orwellian unit within the british government. London is being accused of deliberately obstructing the release of potentially Sensitive Data and a partridge as the story. A storm is brewing in the u. K. About freedom of information with a new government. A new report by open democracy describes a socalled all well you. Its called the Clearing House that obstructs media requests, and even blacklist journalists Clearing House shares with a range of whitehall departments. A daily update containing the names of journalists and complain as the requests they have submitted and advice on how referring to providence should respond past in the year 2000. And the freedom of information act was meant to open up the workings of government requests for information were supposed to remain anonymous or applicant blind. And in theory could help keep the authorities in check. But according to this reports, the cabinet now rejects more requests that have in general more requests to turn down then responded to positively by the state, the Central Government departments. And indeed, the Cabinet Office here, which has kind of custody of the issue of free to get information in this country. There was bad as, as the others, if not worse, in many ways. And one of the key issues is that this is a regulated by something called the Information Commissioners Office and they have a huge backlog. Their resources have been slashed over the past decade and they dont know you really to keep up with the complaints as when they come in, off government promise failing to respond. And the irony is that the Government Department is responsible for its budgets. And for the a very scene, the agency generally is the Cabinet Office. Number 10 says the consideration of foia requests remains applicant and motive behind. And the Clearing House unit remains fully compliant. But there is growing criticism within westminster labor peer lord, clock of when dimia was instrumental in the becoming law and is now calling for a government investigation into the controversial yunis, along with politicians across the spectrum. This Clearing House is certainly against the spirit of that act, and probably the latter 2 ministers should explain to the house of commons precisely why they continue with this set up in view of the fact that it is contradictory to the whole purpose of freedom of information this is extremely troubling if the Cabinet Office is interfering in foia requests, and seeking to work around their requirements of the act by blacklisting, join the race. It is a grave threat to our values and transparency in our democracy. Yet this storm over the law has been brewing since it was past 20 years ago, under tony blairs government. After the then Prime Minister discovered that governments couldnt discuss any issues with a reasonable level of confidentiality. And freedom of information was mainly used by journalists. He cursed himself, you idiot, you know eve, foolish, irresponsible nincompoop. There is really no description of stupidity no matter how vivid that is adequate. I quake in the imbecility of it. For political leaders, its like saying to someone whos hitting you over the head with a stick. Try this in, stayed in handing him a minute. Now it seems, Boris Johnsons government is also trying to put the lid back on the pandoras box. That the British Public are legally entitled to open. Partridge party, loved it. Of others are 3rd world news is shaping up for an hour, but dont go too far because theyre going in. Washington are back and watching the hawks in moments catch the show after the shortest of breaks. Goodbye from max keiser financial survival guide. Stacey, lets learn about fill out. Lets say im not so i guess the fight. Thank you for taking on the story. Thats slavery
