currently around 120 kilometers an hour this is a category one hurricane now but as you mentioned it is also it is always the water that is of particular worry him in new orleans and we could see hoffa meta dumps on the city over the course all of the weekend the good news is that once Hurricane Barry does hit landfall it can lose some all of its strength by leaving the Gulf Of Mexico from where it takes its power from but then of course there is the storm surge which it dumps on the city and we have seen one levee states banks about an hour and a half away from here unleashing a flood surge there on posture is that we have also seen 12 people in the state of louisiana need to be rescued by helicopter the good news is it was a timely release of funds through the declaration of a state wide emergency in louisiana which meant at least Relief Efforts and money could be prepared in anticipation for this storm which will be going on through the

Regulators are set to find social media giant facebook a record 5000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars thats around 4 and a half 1000000000 euros this follows an investigation into Privacy Violations and the mishandling of user data involving up to 87000000 facebook users to have your
reporter Alex Forrest Whiting is with me in the studio so alex tell us more about exactly why this fine is being levied well its the u. S. Federal trade commission o f t c and that is basically the Consumers Protection Agency and they have been investigating allegations that a british political consultant cif Cambridge Analytic was accessing this facebook data and using it basically for its own ends and now Cambridge Analytical which now no longer exists had a special op that was linked to facebook where it could harvest this information and the company was also allegedly involved in Donald Trumps president ial bid back in 2016 the question though for facebook was when. It was violating its requirements to notify uses that it was actually allowing that data to be used by somebody else whether they had given their consent and thats what this is a little about this is a record fine 5000000000. 00 but presumably this is not
a record that facebook is too happy about breaking its probably not to know but i think the point is that within the commission itself there were 3 republican commissioners who are happy with the fine but 2 democrats who apparently are not happy and thats because they dont think it goes far enough you would think 5000000000 is a huge amount but look at facebook it is an enormous company its not like others revenues last year 56000000000 u. S. Dollars expected to top 70000000000. 00 by the end of this year so many saying 5000000000. 00 is just a drop in the ocean for the company where does this leave us in terms of the question of regulation because this is very deeply wrapped up in this news and the head of Public Affairs for Facebook Nick clegg was in berlin just a few weeks ago saying that governments need to regulate Social Media Platforms such as facebook because they cant possibly police all the content on them the
question is just how far the f. T. C. Will go and whether they will decide that actually facebook does need to limit the amount of information it has and what it does about targeting facebook users with ads will the f. T. C. Go further well probably not given who makes up that commission at the moment its down to the Justice Department to decide whether this fine goes ahead but for facebook theyre also facing other investigations not just in the u. S. But also outside reporter alex for his writing thank you so much.
