For their work and so are the International Live from moscow. Thanks so much for being with us this. Hour the israeli Prime Minister has ordered the country to withdraw from unesco the un culture and Heritage Organization and follows a similar move announced by the United States in october over a perceived bias against israel that countrys envoy to the agency explained the decision. Has broken records of people crissy incitement and lies against israel and the jewish people while polluting its noble Core Principles with politicisation and diplomatic terrorism that sometimes bordered on semitism and with more on israels move. Comes on the heels of quite a bit of criticism from the United States and israel of you know asco is activities now you know asco 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 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. About. Recently we saw that the usa had withdrawn from unesco that happened in october and when the United States pulled out of the nasco they specifically cited what they called an anti israel bias now when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. Now you know World Heritage sites across israel comprising of a dozen places representing three thousand years of history israeli newspaper columnist i mean oren believes unesco is also a platform for diplomatic action and that israel may eventually reverse its decision. Every u. N. Agency. A 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 drawing 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 i mean while both gaza and the west bank have seen more clashes in a straight week in one rest in the region fridays demonstrations left two palestinians that more than sixty injured. Palestinian policy has called for christmas celebrations to be canceled following days of rage instead going on rest in the region comes in the wake of us president from decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel in the palestinian administered city of ramallah Israeli Soldiers were filmed pushing back paramedics who were trying to reach those injured troops used weapons and other forceful measures preventing emergency crews from reaching. On thursday the United NationsGeneral Assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn dont trump unilateral decision concerned that the dispute over the city status should only be resolved by talks only nine Member States including the u. S. Voted against the resolution even so the countries u. N. Ambassador remain undeterred she put the focus on the few friends backing jerusalem decision. This. Will make a difference on how americans look at the us and on how we look at countries who disrespect them and the. And this will be remembered. Its. A lot of german. Jewish communities in germany rothsay theyre facing growing it is a many say theyve been the targets of discrimination all harassment at a daily basis they believe the problem has been exacerbated by the us president s controversial decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital with more heres all your correspondent. That was a half 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 your dimensions and 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 its the typical. Israelis bed story trump is a burden they go to the gas chamber in five years. 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 you are 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 the youths who were surveyed who were from a jewish background said that they had faced until semitism. Saying that theyve been targeted or harassed in the. Attack. He told them that. From the government side we heard a strong response from the. Any kind of anti semitism is an attack on everyone is a must never be allowed to have a place in society again but looking at an uptick in the turks in germany targeting jews that may seem easier said than done peter all over. Now the u. S. Olympic committee on the countrys gymnastics governing body are being accused of helping cover up years of sex abuse and child molestation and a lawsuit filed by a championship last Mcadam Maroney just 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 more details now from. Mckayla maroney americas a live big 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 the sport it seemed when ever and wherever this man could find a chance i was treated this charismatic my leg happened when i was fifteen years old i had flown all day and night with the team to go to tokyo hed given me a sleeping pill for the flight and the next thing i know i was alone with him in his hotel room getting 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 into in sixty mchale as attorney at the time Gloria Allred approached us gymnastics requesting that the organization participate in a confidential mediation the process culminated in a system into agreements that included a mutual nondisclosure cools and a mutual 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 a man you know penetrated me in front of my mother when i was alive and 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 nasser who they insist must be punished but the sports officials who failed to protect the child athletes the olympics are something that brings people hope and joy sure from the outside looking in its an amazing story i did it i got there but not without a price and we discussed more on his claims with former gymnasts right shoulder and hollander she was the first to publicly accused former u. S. Team doctor larry not sar of Sexual Assault shes not surprised about claims of a big cover. You know i wish i could say that i was surprised but the reality with usa gymnastics is they have a decades long policy of covering up sexual abuse and of and of silencing victims some of the most prominent coaches in u. S. C. G. Who have trained olympians those coaches have been found guilty of sexual abuse too and again like like their member coaches they were allowed to continue praying on little girls and even their elite athletes for decades and usa g. s response to that was was to defend under oath testimony to defend their policy saying they wanted to avoid a witch hunt when you have an organization that has a decades long policy of supporting sexual predators a decades long policy of silencing victims by literally shoving reports in a file cabinet and then they can defend their 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. Well you know mckayla said that she had signed her agreement in two thousand and sixteen but just a few months ago in august the o. C. Register which is a local california newspaper did publish that they had been able to confirm that another case had been settled in twenty fifteen with another victim of larry nasser in the lead gymnast so yes i think its i think its likely that there are others that have been silenced. I think there needs to be an investigation into whether your legal activities occurred there are very legitimate questions about whether or not this nondisclosure agreement was even legal 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 have made it very clear that 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 how theyve handled sexual predators in the organization for decades when you have an organization like us to do 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. Just rachel done all of the on those accusations now in other news the red faces at facebook which admits that its fake news flags from the ring explain just why after this short break. So we want to press. You so. Thats why. This is what. People. Are still. So you got manmade Global Warming incinerating planet earth and causing an eco but the corporations feel like you know what that might cost us a penny at the end of the year so we do have donek adjustment to our algorithm it will take out the city and alaska that would flag us to take action appropriate first survival of the species and were going to instead rely on our Balance Sheet and our algorithm like a good g. P. S. Monitor your car thats pointing over a cliff i dont care if the cliff is there my god where the says its not there so i keep driving i do a film and always going to go right over the cliff because of the data tells me. Welcome back to our facebooks fight against the fake news phenomenon has resulted in a boomerang effect the sidespin trying to red flag articles that contain false information but it does seem forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest. Explains facebook sees itself on the front lines 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 at facebook and were committed to fighting it after all people want to see Accurate Information and so did we. That 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 context 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 and 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 dioceses they might not even be aware of their own biases was facebook and others struggled to contend with fabricated news stories that i had seen all the sights the u. S. Ambassador to the netherlands isnt exactly helping much as you described his very own remarks as fake news. Mentioned in debate. That there are no go zones in the netherlands. We would call it fake because i never said. Yes there. Are no other words. There are no goals no zongo knows no goes or. Not if you have a problem with evolution is your second language ok. Fake news obviously i didnt call that big news i didnt you. Know no. I think it has to do with. Said these words in the beginning from his stance as an politician and when he was the second time he was already elected as ambassador as an investor and just as the words hes words thats kind of weird of course i dont think there will be any problems i think he will be sitting just like all the other ambassadors and diplomacy. U. S. Intelligence chiefs are urging congress to reauthorize the National Security agencys far reaching spying program that expires at the end of this year they say that if lawmakers do not renew it the countrys security could be compromised if Congress Fails to reauthorize the saw authority the Intelligence Community will lose valuable foreign intelligence information and the resulting intelligence gaps who make it easier for terrorists weapons proliferated malicious cyber actors and other foreign adverse reste to plan attacks against our citizens and i lies without detection. The internet spying program was established in two thousand and eight 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 as well 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 contrary it would e
