You watching R T International this saturday morning where its just gone eight oclock here in moscow. Now the israeli Prime Minister has ordered the countrys withdrawal from the uns culture and Heritage Organization unesco it follows a similar move announced by the United States in october over over a perceived bias against israel his countrys envoy to the agency explained the decision. Has broken records of incitement against israel and the jewish people while polluting its noble Core Principles with politicisation diplomatic terrorism that sometimes bordered on. With more on israels move his. Comes on the heels of quite a bit of criticism from the United States and israel of you know ask those activities now unesco is the uns Cultural Agency now the Israeli ForeignMinistry Spokesperson specifically cited what he called the attempts to disconnect the history of jewish history from the land of israel now unesco has angered israel over the past year they passed resolutions in which they said that israel has no right to jerusalem they said that the temple mount and the old city are both muslim the holy sites now as far back as twenty eleven go actually granted palestine full membership in its organization now this is danny the israeli ambassador to the United Nations this is him touching on the recent decision no you knew. No empty speech you. Know didnt want to be revolution will ever drive out from jerusalem recently we saw that the usa had withdrawn from the nasco that happened in october and when the United States pulled out of the nasco they specifically cited what they called an anti israel bias now when that happened israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu called it a courageous and moral decision and praised the United States for doing that it stands for the United NationsEducational Scientific and Cultural Organization it has a number of tasks it fights violent extremism around the world it promotes female education it promotes Media Freedom it also protects certain cultural sites around the world now what is in question at the moment is what will happen to certain cultural sites now that both the United States and israel are no longer participants in this very Important International body. And reporting the us lists heritage sites across israel comprising of a dozen places representing three thousand g. s if history is ready newspaper columnist believes that you know esko is also a platform for diplomatic action and that israel may eventually decision. Every u. N. Agency. Battlefield in the Foreign Policy and diplomacy arena and you know no different than the Human Rights Council and others but whether or not israel should grow from it is another matter altogether because. Just we throwing just leaving the field to others is not acceptable to many israelis we have been through such cycles of un bashing. Eventually israel and presumably the United States too would come back having symbolized. Their displeasure. Is just a gesture one shouldnt read too much into it meanwhile clashes erupted in gaza or again on friday in the Third Straight week of them rest in the breach. The latest demonstrations have left two palestinians dead and more than sixty others injured in the wake of president trumps the season for the u. S. To recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital well in the west bank city of ramallah Israeli Soldiers were filmed pushing back paramedics who were trying to reach the injured there the troops shes weapons and other forceful measures preventing emergency crews from reaching the wounded. On thursday the United NationsGeneral Assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn Donald Trumps unilateral decision can see that the speech over the city status should only be resolved by talks with ninety nine Member States including the us to fail to the against the resolution even though the countrys u. N. Ambassador remained under putting the focus on the few friends backing the jerusalem decision. Make a difference on how americans look in the us and on how we look at country disrespect. And this will be remembered. Its. Its. Meanwhile jewish communities in germany said they are facing driving anti semitism many say theyve been the targets of discrimination or harassment on a daily basis and believe to the problem has been made worse by the u. S. President s recent policies towards israel is all your correspondent thanks for all of. Yeah. That israeli flag burning in the center of. The aftermath of the u. S. Decision on jerusalem but apart from protests its feared the backlash would overstepped the line into attacks against jewish people a Police Investigation is underway here in berlin following a shocking display of anti semitism outside of a jewish restaurant plus what i know from your i six me you wouldnt mention the possible information need much of. It because. The owner of the restaurant says he expects these type of attacks considering the current climate it was a typical latest incident thing against jews the typical. Israelis bed story is a burden they go to the gas chamber in five years he will be dead we have unfortunately a lot of cases different in this similar to do mostly its an anemic we get a lot of phone calls with. In fact the leaders in the Jewish Community say that these type of incidents a far more common than we may think think its a horrible incident but i think its something what happens sometimes on a daily basis here in germany i wouldnt say that its that its a bad feeling as a jew living in germany but on the other side there are things happening and if youre a member of a community or an institution you get confronted with those kinds of incidents. Like really every day the u. S. Position on jerusalem has certainly added fuel to a backlash against israel but if you look at a study that was carried out just this year over sixty percent of those who were surveyed were from a jewish background said that they had faced until semitism. On a daily basis with almost thirty percent saying that theyve been targeted or harassed in the last year just this last month in the venting district of berlin a school boy was attacked by a group of classmates who told him that hitler was good because hed killed the jews from the government side weve heard a strong response from the German Justice minister months. Any kind of anti semitism is an attack on everyone anti semitism must never be allowed to have a place in society again but looking at an optic attacks in germany targeting jews that may seem easier said than done peter all over r. T. Berlin. Now facebook has admitted that its efforts to combat fake news arent working here has been trying to red flag articles which contain false information but the markers are instead it seems attracting even more views and chatting to get expects. Facebook sees itself on the frontlines of the fight against fake news theres a huge amount of misinformation out there on the internet its a problem weve been working hard on it for this book and were committed to fighting it after all people want to see Accurate Information and so did we at battle heated up in december two thousand and sixteen when facebook teamed up with Fact Checkers to flag stories it determined to contain socalled disputed content but when youre on the social media titans forced to admit not only is the method ineffective it may actually inspire the opposite of the desired reaction Academic Research on correcting misinformation has shown that putting a strong image like a red flag next to an article may actually entrenched deeply held beliefs the opposite of fact to what we intended apparently a fake news label actually makes people more interested for example facebook red flag this story by the new port buzz which claimed hundreds of thousands of irish people were brought to the us as slaves but the little red sign didnt stop its spread on the contrary traffic skyrocketed but facebook isnt daunted by the discovery that flagging stories has backfired coming up with a new plan to provide alternative articles on long side possibly false stories to give people more contacts but the question remains are those alternative stories definitely relevant and balanced and whos actually making that call the choice of the articles the choice of the outlets is going to reflect human bias he would bias is inevitable whenever human beings are involved theres always going to be a social political cultural and so on bias in the selection of those related articles is going to reflect that facebook obviously has an agenda the people who work at facebook have individual agendas and biases they might not even be aware of their own biases what is facebook into the struggle to contend with new stories circulating on their sites the u. S. Ambassador to the netherlands is not exactly helping matters after describing his own remarks as. I mentioned. Debate. That there are no go zones in the netherlands. We would call it fake which is why i never said. Yes there. Goes another ones. There and no go no zongo nose no go zone. Not that its you have a problem with english is your second language ok. The fake news obviously i didnt call that big news i didnt use the word no no. I think that to do with. Said these words in the beginning from his stance as an addition and when he was the second time he was already elected as ambassador as an investor and just as the words were so thats kind of weird of course i dont think there will be any problems i think it will be sitting just like all the other best interests in the diplomacy. Now the u. S. Olympic committee in the countrys gymnastics governing body are being accused of helping cover up he is of sexy peace and child molestation and i also think filed by champion gymnasts Mckayla Maroney she alleges to have been abused by u. S. Team doctor for years and then paid to keep silent she also names other sports institutions for preventing her from publicly coming forward with details now from some a recount. Mckayla maroney americas elliptic darling one of the worlds most famous gymnasts u. S. Household name and victim of childhood sex abuse that apparently took place over years and when she wanted to speak out both usa gymnastics plus the u. S. Olympic committee made her keep quiet rhody claims she was paid hush money and is now suing them for silencing her she hired a lawyer and asked for a settlement conference or mediation to get justice to what she didnt ask for was a draconian confidentiality agreement that prevented her from telling even her brother and sister about this and then i think even worse it said that you cant ever say anything bad about us if your masters ever for your whole life shes come forward with a horrific story of abuse by team u. S. A. s former doctor larry nasser it started when i was thirteen years old and it didnt end until i left sport it seemed whenever and wherever this man could find the chance i was treated this scariest night of my life happened when i was fifteen years old i had flown all day and nights with the team to get to tokyo hed given me a sleeping pill for the flight and the next thing i know i was all alone with him in his hotel room getting a treatment i thought i was going to die that night but one would naturally have expected usa gymnastics to support its crown jewel but the Organization Claims that she herself chose to settle this all quietly in twenty sixty mchale as attorney at the time Gloria Allred approached usa gymnastics requesting that the organization participate in a confidential mediation the process culminated in a settlement agreements that included a mutual nondisclosure cools and a mutual norm disparagement moronis case is just the start over one hundred and fifty women have now accused the same doctor of sexual abuse i dont want to be in a courtroom telling about how. You know but. Me in front of my mother when i was eleven the fact that he just thinks oh i pleaded guilty and now you guys can start healing is ridiculous to me i dont think. I dont think he truly understands how many people are hurting and how bad people are hurting over this now dr nasser admits to exploiting his position to abuse his patients and he was recently convicted and sentenced to sixty years in jail but his victims believe justice has still not been served and its not just nassar who they insist must be punished but the sports officials who failed to protect child athletes years say gymnastics chairman vice chairman and treasurer have focused their attention on money a matter well your say gymnastics is attempting to cover up the largest child sex abuse scandal in the history of sports they must be replaced by people who pose the health and safety of Athletes First now the olympics is all about celebration and success but this scandal exposes the other side of the medal billion pixels something that brings people hope and joy sure from the outside looking in its an amazing story i did it i got there the not without a price some miracle report what we did discuss moronis claims with former gymnasts rachel dan holland she was actually the first to publicly accuse former u. S. Team doctor larry nasser of Sexual Assault and isnt surprised about the claims of a big coverup. You know i think theres plenty of evidence that there is a cover up not just because of the way usa g. Has handled Larry Nassers case but again because this is their longstanding policy they have been covering up sexual abuse in the organization literally for decades you know some of the most prominent coaches in usa do you have trained olympians who have worked alongside bella and marta curley those those coaches have been found guilty of sexual abuse too is that when you have an organization that has a decades long policy of silencing victims by literally shoving reports in a file cabinet and then they can defend those actions by saying they want to avoid a witch hunt it shouldnt come as any surprise to us that theyre treating their elite athletes the same way theyre treating the youngest gymnast in their member gyms so i think we already know that u. S. C. G. Has a longstanding policy of covering up sexual predators larry nassar is not an exception by any stretch of the imagination. More than twenty thousand people have now signed a petition to replace the leadership at usa gymnastics in the wake of what is being called the biggest child abuse scandal in sports history is demanding all of the organizations chiefs be replaced by those who quote put a fleet safety first Children Home and are again thinks the allegations could impact the u. S. Olympic Committee Just as the winter games in south korea draw closer. I think there needs to be an investigation into whether illegal activities occurred there are very legitimate questions about whether or not this nondisclosure agreement was even illegal under California Law because it did involve felony sex offense crimes and i think there needs to be a complete board change from the top down because these Board Members have to have made it very clear that the safety of little children is not their priority that they see nothing wrong with how they have handled not just the larry nassar situation but with how theyve handled sexual predators in the organization for decades you know when you have an organization like u. S. C. G. That is in charge of our libyans that is in charge of the entire sport from the top down and they cant handle Something Like sexual abuse against little children yes i think it is time for the u. S. O. C. To look at simply removing their authority to run our Gymnastics Program in the United States because they have proven that they care about something more than the safety of their athletes and thats inexcusable. U. S. Intelligence leaders are urging congress to reauthorize the National Security agencys far reaching spying program which expires at the end of the year they say that if lawmakers do not renew it the Country Security will be undermined if Congress Fails to reauthorize this or forty the Intelligence Community will lose valuable foreign intelligence information and the resulting intelligence gaps will make it easier for terrorists weapons proliferation is malicious cyber out says and other foreign adverse reason to plan attacks against our citizens and our lives without detection the internet spying program was established in two thousand and eight and it gives an authority to intelligence organizations to collect data from foreign targets but it also allows for the interception of Americans Communications in certain cases to critics and social activists say they fear the renewal will actually lead to increased levels of surveillance. The proposed bill is not a reform measure on the contra
