facebook is arguably the most powerful company in the world 1400000000 people use it every day more than the population of any country on earth except china the story that you created represent the american dream you know that our mission at facebook is to help connect everyone in the world we take that responsibility very seriously but a series of recent scandals has exposed copeland's of the haunts of the social network of ministers that coburg i think we all agree that what happened here was bad you knowledge it was a breach of trust and i just want to be clear that you're going to take early action in this film we go into companies with facebook's content moderation is to reveal how facebook decides what you can see that. it's good for you to report them

so their birth for them go to school. so. it's pretty but. with billions of pieces of contents uploaded every day these decisions how far reaching consequences. of the woods on you is not necessary. but how they're made has been shrouded in secrecy until now you shouldn't be speaking of ever curvaceous topics ok you know just goes on probation docs not. from violence. to hate speech we reveal how facebook to use with extreme comes. from the furthest from. came through her on the roof of those schools with graphic videos routinely left on the sites she had battered change in at the station later in the face of

a selfless. and far right groups getting special protection over sort of looked for over switcheroo the reverses with his facebook putting profits before safety if you start censoring to your son to believe interest in the growth of fraud it's all of them it's all a big one of the. these had been a facebook the premier hotels that are at the meeting not the whole company this year facebook published a set of rules about what content is allowed on this platform. to be open i reserve the walls and it's been trust in facebook that's the meeting not going to break in department i want that we work for. moderators have told us there are serious problems with the way these rules are applied so we're going to company facebook to

launch a sense of the u.k. content moderation in something. facebook has outsourced a lot of this activity our reporter is working for a company called c.p.l. resources. and this piece of policy that you should be speaking about record basis of topics ok to be you know to just go for patient and got knocked off. facebook a highly secretive about the world so again no matter how strong you are measures that you don't actually reveal the information what you actually hear. so. give you the 1st call are going to see what you're going to do it was a call to whatever. the phone fiscal policies. or at least what we are. every week millions of pieces of

content to reports it's a facebook by users who think they should be deletions. these are some of these that these you know are the photos that we're going to defeat because these are the nipples yours are not covered by anything is put on the phone and i don't know a lot it's completely open so in that case we're going to go. unlike other media that there is little regulation restricting what can appear on the social network so the decision to delete or ignore is entirely up to facebook. and it started off and us colleges and then we launched in us high schools in a little bit and us corporations and since when we opened up the site actually last ember of sex. started exploding internationally when i 1st met zuck he was 22 years old and from that moment forward for

a period of about 3 years i was one of the people that he turned to for mentoring. venture capitalist roger mcnamee was one of facebook's early investors and a mentor to found among. he was absolutely convinced that connecting the world was possible and that that should be his mission we believe really deeply that if people are sharing more then the world will be a more open place where people can understand what's going on with the people around them and that's really what we want to get towards i was more proud of facebook than anything i'd ever done in a $35.00 or 6 your career. before i understood what was going. there for a good few glitches for the earlier months for. one of the most sensitive areas of facebook's content rulebook is the section on graphic violence just no good and so

look at it it's a feel good stuff and so i feel for whatever the books. we have our 3 auctions we have are no more there's no option to lease for move or for a very slow market the service is restrictions on place of you're going to see the condos and how it is presented it's when content is marked as disturbing a warning is added to make the content viewable users must click on this warning under 18 should not be able to view the coms and but it remains on the site and freely available to anyone claiming to be over 18 a video or so one volume is not necessarily going to you know 3041 of your markets to buy separate one you just could as well let the policy of mark's change for not basically birth of a few. critical items through

a war i'm going to respond and consider one also and it's been dissolved the. videos of people who don't do not show what the newbies who were just marketing through and through the book and still share those like raise awareness and work. so that was part of. the next policy discharging feeds this is video news for sure child abuse others find on one of. the repeated it can be easier for sloppy overshadowed by adults or monologue and there are also the conflicting o'berg book called the boy although or the coffee rotation or shooting or if it was too young to start by the wrists i goes right arms are not. always the mark of the surge

our next target reserves will never go or. so here's the example in the video. because forests are in bars for. you recognize those images and if i wanted to know. what video from they are from i feel that was sent to us from one of all supporters asking for help with. some d. i am in boxes on this facebook page without i am asking for help because they saw i thought they'd sin and they were obviously it was scared they didn't want to call. saw initially see a little tiny boy it was about 2 or 300 video with a man talking to him which are not safe. and then he was hit him and punched him

it was so him about and the newest stump and kid on him and then i'll be so the video call saul. l.f. if noise and absolutely nothing apart from a sickening feeling that you've just you've seen some autonomy little boy. i mean you know yourself from watching that video out. not just got a skipped off out there in the noise. you are so he called out your ass. you say and that's all you think about is a little why and why we say in that way we say was happening to him you're full of it you know it's a story so i am i did initial i and we received my message

box and didn't violate their terms and conditions. this is bizarre. there. wasn't a. gray area but this is so interesting to the mobster yeah because it's so obvious he is still technically on the on the go for all reporter asks another moderate so why he thinks some graphic content is disturbing rather than deleted then i will bet that raising is behind belief or rather user experience. like this people have all over the over all the years it's all for the kids which go on and on. through yeah you know it's all for free for the user the older you are budgeting issues be delayed and like i said. no because i don't assume of censorship them ok if you start censoring to her some people lose interest in the group but it's all good it's all

a big one of the work. in the 1st 2 days after it was posted on facebook the video of the little boy being beaten was shared more than $44000.00 times. on facebook point of view this is essentially. you know the crack cocaine of their of their products right it's the really extreme really dangerous form of content that. attracts the most highly engaged people on the platform. facebook understood that it was desirable to have people spend more time on site if you're going to have an advertising based business you need them to see the ads who want to say what facebook is learning is the people on the extremes of the really valuable. because one person on either extreme can often provoke 50 or 100 other people and so they will live as much extreme content as they can get.

we put the results of our investigation to facebook's vice president of global policy. shocking content does not make us more money it's just a misunderstanding of how the system works shocking content truly keeps people on facebook that means it's more likely that they will view advertising that makes you money that's why shocking content is good for facebook again i don't that's not our experience of the people he's also obvious around the world there is a minority who are prepared to abuse our systems and other internet platforms to share the most offensive kind of material by just don't agree that that is the experience that most people want and that's not the experience we're trying to deliver. this myself on as a couple of other options on that page so that with that we have is looking to see if you can find any time gaggle of fans through kevin and if you've been going on for a while with no idea where to go with ace and if you ports facebook not so

easy with their 3 of his just say to try and find out some information on that video and to tell you i say. you go. with. ringback the we do it. all. it's for life and you're always with your pockets because this is going to be videos that are not worth i'm not munching on person to people be all that you know it's all photos. so you just go for the coalition. for go for it for more but in order to move. our investigation found that unless they are streamed live videos of physical child abuse i'm not usually reported to the police. or soldiers destination price as a follow up price. and may be. off the mark so.

call me on on child because it will be a story. about dad hearing stuff like. carpenter's the stuff coming so herschel cards or art or otherwise just far as we're concerned of course research from current user. i know it's weird but i spoke to anything i would they possibly know and that's if you see something we're always going to read by the supers with a large preview and subverts to write you've heard a lot of make up different carbines i've heard of star trek a 3rd for video story getting rescued these days is not going to be reported by off to the police i think the reality is someone is going to it's going to be. more you know now about how you know boys we've found out and he says in malaysia that these child. sounds

a it was stepfather and been arrested on child for 12 months. how long ago was it that you 1st kind of most of it yeah i mean that was in the thick it was december 2012. songs and it's being sick you know it's almost. video still on facebook a nice yeah. this video is used in facebook's training as an example of the kind of child abuse that should be marked as disturbing and left almost silent. if that's being used as an example for motivators of what is considered acceptable to say what is tolerated on facebook is is is is truly shocking this is just

a haitian for why they allow content. in or they of the education and rescue of it into the physical abuse we may not immediately remove this content from facebook it's perfectly possible for facebook to take down footage of child abuse and for that to be passed to the author of 4 copies of the t.v. or to be retained if that will assist in a law enforcement in a police say investigation it's difficult to conclude why that material would need to stay on the site we know that for as long as that content command on a social media site then that exacerbates the trauma that children might feel not only has that child been subject to sustained physical abuse but unfortunately that child is being. the abused by the fact that that content is there for anyone to go into facebook and see unfortunately the child is being really abused with every

click. was passed on facebook. an individual showed it i want to be clear that's not acceptable that shouldn't be that material should have been taken down on the site that you went to the c.p.l. site you see part of the total system so those are the front line reviewers but behind them sits a team of child safety. expos there are actually facebook full time staff they will make an assessment of whether the child is at risk they will make a decision about what to do with the content including referring it to law enforcement agencies whether that's a program. after we made facebook aware of this child abuse video it was still available on the platform they told us they have now reviewed the material used to train new moderators. because this rule i'm always a bit just one car. so they were just saying basically if i

said to me i'm a pretty show that minus. it's kind of just to go fighting. over up at the very mention of a school for. our reporter was moderating a video showing 2 teenage girls fighting both girls are clearly identifiable and the video has been shared more than a 1000 times. one indefinitely more i don't want to. pay for the face. also for the fear she has said. there she is how she's very selfless. and i and. my friends. and i just saw a movie star you don't fare. as a video if you toss she thought you need to see it you say. start to fight.

in the throw each other on the flaw. the other girl saw. time on. just repeat. nice and kicks in and they had. and she looks she just looks out of control basically she looks like a wild animal. to wake up and stab. what should the whole world is watching as well to see that most of ben you know horrifying it was humiliating for. the video has been posted with a caption condemning the violence based on the new policy yeah but it's one of the foremost republicans are. really rather you know they're leaving if i'm going with my. effort like everybody condemning is of the use of not working before we go over the wealth. of a whole vocal. following

a recent change to the public see even experienced moderate says i'm not sure whether the video should be deleted well marked as disturbing i'm left on the song it's really hot hot. so anything on the video is the border of mourners sort of condemning of its ability. or was this one of them out of business about yeah. but some of them ok. because there's a caption condemning the violence the video gets mugged is disturbing i'm left alone the signs. are from we showed footage from our undercover filming to the girl's mother. should really have been a question about its take it. should have been a discussion those he said himself to soften. in a way

a parent. dition of being questioned and. when. you see they have injuries and. it's horrible. so why was it why was it the school should why was it discussion with its sad. i don't know. you know someone's child but. it's not fast spoken. so that's interesting because i i swear if there is like bullying between 2 humanity you can just delete or you sort of know where we go if there were truth if there were 3 bits of these groups for the world to look at when a fun new kid's room produces look for our daughter ok. to be on for the 1st

3 right i say overdue for if there was a caption saying brilliant she had taken really early for those motocross 3 and 4 from the. option is on the radio or. should have been taken down there all the west spread awareness with a. video we saw one star beamed. but was no emotion that almihdhar what's happening to the not think you know the bigger picture this is the thinking of the policies if they're watching a video of their own daughter what decision. they make. if a parent or guardian sees a video of that child in circumstances that they object to they do have the right to insist that we take it down and we do take it down where we're made aware that

so you're putting the onus on the victim here to complain to you why aren't you taking this material down before humiliates children and again if the content is shed in a way that praises or encourages that violence is going to come down but where people are highlighting an issue and condemning the issue even if the issue is painful there are a lot of circumstances where people will say to us look facebook you should not interfere with my ability to highlight a problem that's occurred as people watch these videos facebook's making money yet the money we make is by people using the service and seeing ads within the newspaper. when you have $40000000000.00 a sales and tens of billions of profit per year pretty much have an obligation to do everything in your power to make sure that you're not making the world worse for the users of your product.

the oppression of an ethnic minority and me in my. day intention was to make sure that rangers were no longer entitled to either basic rights or citizenship rights. al-jazeera explores the history. behind the systematic persecution have the right. exiled on not just their. as we embrace new technologies rarely do we stop to ask what is the price of this progress what happened was people started getting sick but there was a small group of people that began to think that maybe this was related to become if this was a job an investigation reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs we think ok we'll send our you waste to china but we have to remember that air pollution travels around the globe death by design on al-jazeera

. oh i maryanne demasi in london with a quick look at headlines now at least 4 people have been killed in the eastern part of the democratic republic of congo in clashes between police and protesters who are angry at what they see as an action by the government and the united nations of a deadly rebel attacks the demonstrations in the town of benny came off to 8 people died in the latest right by militias at least 70 people have been killed in attacks in the past few weeks the mayor's office and several buildings a longing to the u.n. peacekeeping mission what even set alight by protest is. hong kong's leader says she will seriously reflect after a landslide win in local elections for anti chinese parties there was

a record turnout in the poll which follows months of often violent protests against rule from beijing candidates including full mistreated protest leaders said the result showed the chinese government needs to allow greater democracy. i really impressive but hong kong has come out to vote to show that the man to stop the protests brutality coat the police accountability and the most important thing is we are or we are not only said this fighting electing that this or consul we need to have direct election to elected office the chief executive hopeful should be told by us. will have been protests in georgia as well people are keeping up their demands for a snap election after the government failed to introduce a promised electoral reform bill they've been protesting outside the country's parliament in tbilisi the measure would have made the country's electoral system proportional but was blocked by members of the ruling georgian dream party the opposition is saying the current system favors the ruling party rescue is

a continuing to search for survivors after a deadly landslides in kenya the total number of deaths is now 65 police say 5 people were killed when their call was washed away as they return from a wedding in tanzania the government of west palm beach in the hardest hit area is up to $120000.00 people have been affected and greenhouse gases hit a record level last year with the united nations warning that there's no sign of a slowdown in global emissions the world meteorological organization is now saying that gases including carbon dioxide and methane grew at a rate quicker than the average for the past decade will bring you more on that story in the news hour $2100.00 g.m.t. and about half an hour from now inside facebook continues next. an investigation of how foreign companies plunder africa's natural resources the terrorists is showing for them and the question revealing how new maybe as

officials demand cash in exchange for fey this. week confidential documents provided to al-jazeera by wiki leaks are going to save a new committee harmful so i will fight to the cops and i'm not denying it al-jazeera investigations the anatomy of a braai. with filming undercover in one of facebook's largest content moderation senses to reveal how the social network decides what you can see on its platform gastronomy. if a user finds a piece of film scent they think is inappropriate they can reduce it to facebook. the moderator will then decide whether almost it breaks the platform's rules that were referred to you know we referred to them so they were berthed was over in order to sort through this so for us it's pretty good says.

each of these reports is called a ticket and the tickets build up in the queues that the moderators work through after 3 and a half weeks of training all reports and is now working through his own queue of tickets. while we were filming on the cover. was cool before the u.s. senate and accused of not doing enough to protect facebook's uses we want to hear more without delay about what facebook and other companies plan to do to take greater responsibility for what happens on their platforms. it's not enough to just build tools we need to make sure that they're used for good or in the last year we've basically doubled the number. people doing security and content review we're going to have more than 20000 people working on security and content review by the end of this year. recently there's been a huge boom to spoil you good stuff getting reported. on it we have homes to book

so we do get 50 post reports today that the dog try to do maybe you can see maybe do a search through those she does move closer to rebook them such as more skeptical of . facebook aims to assess all reported contents within 24 hours but it's become clear that there was a backlog of $15000.00 tickets that have been waiting longer than it's. worth i just want to say i was a big hurdle for the aca factor when i read it and it's really recognized not just with a disease you have on a higher level in the mountains my facebook. i know the last couple of weeks have been really hard it is crazy i feel this sort of stuff and the 3 years. in the hunger and thus far. it's like 57 hours like over $660.00 looks like it's not one bar ok so our latest 5 is 18 hours and $45.00

that's a very good because our turnaround time for this q. is 24 hours. so that means we have to get everything done with 24 hours it's not going to have a lot of books so within the high risk kid with be anything by. someone saying i'm going to crisis in 10 minutes. yes i would yes. any reports that related to somebody at risk of suicide would not have gone into the queue where there was a backlog they would have gone into a high priority queue where we were meeting the standards we've checked since you brought this issue to us and we're very confident that even in that period where we had a backlog in the normal q we did not have a backlog in the suicide q so the c.t.o. moderation was rolled there were obviously instances yes right ok facebook told us this backlog was cleared by the 6th of april and they are doubling the number of people working on safety and security.

reasonableness here for home because we are a part time. life we are far from me very nice these i've weighed more than many other things. undercover reporter is being trained in how to deal with content relating to self home. so some examples all have 3 sides however often any material promoting self harm or suicide gets deleted in the 1st one we have 4 of the faults they are really your friends or my boss i'm ok you say wait so very funny so maybe maybe right so. is. i believe any material that shows self harm but doesn't promote says is called self harm

admission and gets left almost without a warning so. we are going to send a check for you if you go over monsanto resources who are like oh blinded by the spirit. with home admission the user who posted the contents of the sensor message called a checkpoint containing information about mental health support services. or means of research and light sources so. i think that probably around 65 percent of my scars tribute to the impact social media has had on me. there's definitely a bit of a rush of adrenaline. amazing in the blood was a relief because it reminded me that there was something inside of me and that i

wasn't as and as i felt one of these fine. totally fine so your recent checkpoint yourself. were. somebody that i met who had facebook she used to regularly post pictures of herself home and before they were healed and before there was a scar and i would look at her picture as and then there was also a group that i used to follow on facebook. it meant that i was surrounded myself with people that were south hamann it would encourage me to cut a lot more it became a bit of a competition in the afterlife i need it's a duty. and that i needed to have with self. the other person. for. the right k.

through over. was told racing our reporter comes across graphic images of self. over to the point mugu for those whose for no good i'll write it overnight. so for good news but he has. no promotion. first most immoral so what's that supposed to do is. it's not a private you can see the people of of a badly cut themselves as old scars this is this isn't just a one off and they're cutting themselves that's not appropriate that's not ok. misery loves company so if you can get out there and you can actually see people

doing the thing that kind of is a representation of their misery there might be something. attractive in that and no track to live to or a mind that isn't functioning how it should be. or more your. looks are most of. the hour nothing more toward little has gone to school work a lot of. praying for a year over year. do things have any justification for for you and your images of yourself it's not really no no there are healthier ways of doing that it's not that we don't want to listen to them it's not that we don't want to help them in the long run it's not a healthy thing to do you know this needs this level of of harm needs proper professional intervention and putting stuff out on social media is not professional

intervention. or one. of those with or don't drop school just barrel and. force it to. her aggression even the drugs. or the mother or. i just think it's something that's going to be hard for other people to down to have an experience there i think that self harm is something that's so complex that . it can't be characterized in a guideline or in a rule and it can't be understood by so. but he who doesn't understand how it feels to do that. in the future self know now i know.

i'm strong enough for it not to affect me but i'm not strong enough to take the rest of it i believe that it wouldn't affect me completely believe that but i'm not prepared to take a chance. there's actually a very strong valid interest from that person if they're expressing distress to be able to express their distress to their family and friends through facebook and then get help when we see that happen every day the individuals are provided with help by their family and friends because the content stayed up if we took it down the family and friends would not know that that individual was at risk. so workers were. it's good because you do pretty good we will do

jewing the training session on self home the issue of child uses comes up so we don't actually on her account or not is there a meeting you know great facebook's rules state that no one under 13 can have an account you have over the lot but i think they are the way to know this photo so yes over the airline we'd be more ok i remember if you go she would go. yes. so poker book so you throw them somewhere in this hole that we both know her. yet let people have what. i haven't been very serious aldridge don't we just like with and now we're going we don't know what the underage. facebook told is they only investigates a user's age if someone has reported them as being under age. much

of the content reported to facebook's u.k. moderates as relates to hate speech so i'm sure they're playing. out what's right not to pay for your health for over 40 robot while our personal opinions are really hot for. one month zuckerberg appeared before the u.s. senate he was questioned on facebook's hate speech means our goal is to allow people to have as much expression as possible and i don't want anyone at our company to make any decisions based on the the political ideology of the content facebook say their rules are intended to protect certain groups from being abused or attacked on the platform or through their or harm more of them with her who are 2 or 3 but we found moderators were sometimes told to ignore. standing content

before. we voted for of course who you're going to run for our water. in 2000 ignore your wife along with your correlation you don't overcook cigarettes are good for you go for your 4 use force more golden rule to do through thought it was your form to call in service to go. so for this one issue for this is a revolt for those who go through her. facebook told as the picture does in fact violate the hate speech rules and they're reviewing what went wrong to prevent it happening again in order to create a service where everyone has a voice we also need to make sure that people aren't bullied or or basically intimidated or in the environment feels unsafe for them but on facebook most

everyone gets the same level of protection i kind of instinctively think today but that is really. all reports are is moderating the comments that says back to your own countries. it's been posted beneath a video with a caption the film to muslims in the winds. and on to their. doctrine on 3 sides of the same boat immigrants muslim immigrants if you do that most of them you should take the suction but it doesn't so as a proxy for. facebook allows users to say more abusive things about muslim immigrants than it does about muslims. they are still muslim or even i say it is mostly men of their system muslims this is was an example there are. so lucky other exactly like makes them 100 times it was you. who for 3.

you're just saying that there's thinking we're. physical inferior to the concert like most women who go to school for talking go to. people are debating very sensitive issues on facebook including issues like immigration very currently and that political debate can be entirely legitimate that's why you allow people to say muslim immigrants get out of britain but not muslim get us britain we're trying to distinguish that between hate speech which is against a class of peace you don't think muslim immigrant get out of britain is hate speech you get there this is something that we've looked at in a lot of detail these very hot it this is right on that line is a hate speech right on that line we've not defined it as hate speech if you are again expressing a view about the government's immigration policy. we discovered that some far right pages receive special protection on facebook. very same feel think this casting by

saying that they write the british children. the christian 1st facebook page had more than 2000000 followers when it was deleted in march while we were filming after its leaders were convicted of racially aggravated harassment. really got taken down. the wrong group or your. form the more bloke we've been tracking that page since it had 3 100000 followers it ended up with up to 2000000 followers at one point before that page was polled the question to me else why did it take so long about the brain trust. it was pretty much work for you just so beautiful to see. more for lucian's with very little for if. you look forward to her revert to its work if a page has 5 pieces of content that violate facebook's rules our reporter was told it should be taken down. the britain 1st was

a highly popular facebook page these pages a shield it and can't be deleted by ordinary content moderators at c.p.l. . it was never met rochelle before it was taken down. oh i think. it is just up to me from the feel good. to me. what does that actually mean. but when he said i shared it to go to another you have to use the image oh ok. sometimes. you know just depends on what it is britain for if it's very very hard because. when shielded pages have contents that breaks the rules they're put into the shielded review queue so they can be assessed by facebook itself what does shooter of you actually main jury. will be doing computer from her go through the front pages or a lot of followers you don't want the reader you just. going to be going to sure

they're together for reuse or show her for friends here because the argument for them feel called to open source because her yeah looks like other prefer stuff you're talking about if it is a large page sure because they get so special consideration or defer. facebook's special consideration appears to also apply to follow right thing it's only robinson but children are being killed they're being killed if they're not being bright destroyed in books now well from their being but shouldn't i mind and see said there's now so i can't soaps that's the future project of my shins in march this year robinson was permanently banned from twitter but his facebook page is still active this may he was jailed for contempt of course following a facebook live video he posted outside a course in leeds. one of these places comes a time out of someone's is there any point me looking for the content. you know.

we go. to the there's this goes people's lives use it the way you do you do the other you have to the topic of this is video just goes through this shield to truly . you know anything there. with 900000 followers robinson's facebook page is so popular it's been given the same protected status as governments and news organizations when they say freedom of speech what they're really saying is we really want to permit people to do whatever they want to this platform and we will do the bare minimum to make that socially acceptable their business model is really tied to being able to publish whatever they want and it once you understand that the nature of large internet networks is that the harshest meanest voices are going to dominate but you realize that the more open you make the platform inherently the more unpleasant

inappropriate bad content you're going to get on. what you just told me robinson get a shielded account the same as the government or the b.b.c. high profile organizations that are respected if the content is indeed violating it will go because they are very valuable to counts these all but you've got hundreds of thousands of followers again i want to be clear this is not a discussion about money this is a discussion about political speech and i think people would expect us to be careful and cautious before we take down that political speech. we didn't come if you click thank. thank news and data misuse that's not going to. which is why facebook is changing from the facebook has launched a high profile campaign to improve its image. we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a big mistake and it was my mistake and i'm sorry. i started facebook

i run it and i'm responsible for what happens here i understand why it's been hard for people to come to grips with all this but the incentives to do so now are really compelling and i just hope that as a consequence of this film that the tone of the debate becomes sharper more focused more persistent and that we stop accepting their excuses we stop accepting very sure answers c.p.l. told is ensuring our trainers and employees are always fully trained and up to date on facebook policy changes is critically important to us so we are investigating this matter as a priority and taking immediate steps with facebook this is included conducting extensive refresher training within the last week for all the train is where one of the most heavily scrutinized companies in the world and that's right we have a lot of reach to people in many different countries it's right that we held high

standards we also hold ourselves to high standards you've identified some areas where we failed and i'm here today to apologize for those failings and make it clear that we do recognize that they were weaknesses that we should not be in this position all i can say is that we are committed wherever failings of brought to our attention to taking them seriously to addressing them and trying to make sure that we do better in future.

how i was saying some hidden mashal is across australia recently but some useful right just to the north of sydney you can see the shower cloud just cropping out here wanted so they spot say 20 to 30 maybe $35.00 millimeters of rain the heaviest rainfall for around 7 or 8 months not some of the system would make its way through the southeast and cold over the next couple days will be this cold front that will drive some cooler air into the southeast cold enough a touch of snow a flake will to the snow over the mountains and set a cold after a frosty one of 2 spots is that the melbourne and for adelaide further west it's a good deal woman that we're getting up to around 26 and we'll see a few showers into northern parts of the way as we go through wednesday when it's easing into northern territory as well and by that stays eastern half of the country dry temps just recovering down towards the southeast at $22.00 or $23.00 that's the melting and for adelaide we will see creeping into the twenty's across these even over the next dial so increasing cloud just piling its way in to the

south aldous and what's the weather just making its way through here as a result of that popping up as we go on through the next day as i further north we do have what remains all tropical rates heading towards a van what's the. new talk an alaskan village rapidly losing ground to the road falling permafrost its inhabitants forced to move to safer ground below the west pacific the 1st the barmitzvah one at risk planet as a witness finds people struggling to cope with rising sea there and asked whether those who have the power to stop it appreciate the true cost of failing to act on al-jazeera. the only thing the prime minister blair mission is to deliver british on the 31st of all turns out
