to live with me. thanks so much for being with us this hour demonstrators across europe have been voicing their anger over modern day slavery in libya this comes in the wake of reports of migrants and refugees being captured and sold there for as little as four hundred dollars. i was doing was. looking. for the other issue of exploitation slavery and human trafficking were raised when the french president traveled to guinea earlier this week speaking to the press about all micron condemned the illicit activities while guinea's president noted

that libya lacks the resources to tackle such abuses and so. what has been revealed beyond everything we have said to know about the situation in libya definitely falls into the category of trafficking of human beings it is a crime against humanity to france denunciation has been immediately it is indisputable you know to look at question as if the european union cannot choose a developing country and ask their country to detain refugees when it doesn't even have the means to do so if the refugees are in terrible conditions sorry european friends were not great ask libya to keep the migrants the european union is responsible for france of course has been highly critical of the actions of the un backed libyan government in addressing the issue of slavery jacqueline verger looks at some of the causes of the human rights crisis in libya. some of the harshest condemnation thrown at libya over the appalling treatment of african migrants is coming from france it is called an emergency meeting of the u.n.

security council and has gone as far as to threaten libya with sanctions libyan authorities have decided to open an investigation into the fact we wanted to go fast and if the libyan justice system cannot carry this procedure through then we should open international sanctions those threats are being leveled against the very government that the u.n. endorsed and helped form after the fall of gadhafi let's rewind back to two thousand and eleven. thank you. western leaders of libya was on course to democracy yet it turned out to be a rather gruesome process here's what came next this video purportedly shows libyan rebels torturing groups of black africans they've been locked in cages with their hands tied behind their backs and many of them appear to have the all libyan flag stuffed in their mouths these men were said to have been targeted by rebels after rumors emerged that gadhafi had hired black mercenaries the national transitional

council seems to confuse black people with mercenaries or black people or mercenaries for them they're killing people ordinary workers mistreating them so huge section of the population was being singled out and mistreated or even killed and yet human rights groups noted at the time that the plight of those very migrants was being all but ignored unlike today you see. that they beat me with electric cable while my hands were cuffed behind my back and my feet were bound together with this suffered massively from slavery of about fourteen fifty fifty four hundred years between thirty eight million people were forcibly left the continent that was stolen from africa and now deceased slavery again inside africa. it's absolutely disgusting abhorrent and i think the efforts by some of the european countries now to say they want to do something

about it they have to recognize that they were part of the cause of the problem itself this film it would not be the kind of slavery going on in libya today if gadhafi had not been assassinated and the country had not been thrown into chaos by regime change the human rights abuses during the world outrage today a stark resemblance to what was happening in libya six years ago when western leaders focus was hailing about his demise and urging the country to pursue a democracy. projects against slavery have also taken place in brussels where they descended into vandalism and looting almost one hundred people have been arrested that's according to the belgian interior minister. the demonstrators disrupted the event and went on the rampage through the city's main shopping street it damaged property and police cars witnesses reported seeing police helicopters in the area as well and metro station near where the unrest

place was shut down for several hours. in other news now the american president has apparently agreed to stop supplying weapons to kurdish fighters who are currently battling islamic state in syria turkey's foreign minister says donald trump made the pledge in a phone call to his country's leader. you're saying that mr trump clearly stated that he had given clear instructions not to provide the way p.g. with arms and that this nonsense should have ended long ago. with a white house that was less forthcoming about the conversation confirmed the call did take place but didn't mention the kurds it simply said trump informed that one about upcoming adjustments to the military support being provided to america's partners on the ground in the country however whether those adjustments will affect washington's support for the kurds wasn't made exactly explicit now the u.s.

has been sending various types of weapons through kurdish forces and supplying their military operations as well with air strikes it's been a major sticking point though between the u.s. and turkey which of course considers some kurdish forces to be terrorists a journalist and kurdish affairs analyst fewer osmonds believes we're seeing a repeat of what happened in iraq. the coalition that the united states has put together the purpose of it was just to end i saw and the kurds proved to be a very good fighting force in this they have finished with them then they can partner for them go the this is this has been the situation in iraq has produced it was exactly the same the kurds were an effective force on the ground in the fight against i so when i saw disappeared they were like hot potatoes the same situation in the air in this city in kurdistan will be repeated i believe. now egypt is hunting for the militants behind what officials say was the country's

deadliest terror attack at least three hundred five people that's including twenty seven children were killed on friday at a mosque in the north sinai region over one hundred others were injured so far no group has claimed responsibility or thirty say the attackers were seen carrying an islamic state flag it's believed between twenty five and thirty mosques gunmen were involved in response and warplanes have been conducting air strikes on suspected terrorist positions. and.

of course apart from the scale of the object brutality of the assault many were also shocked by the choice of target is said to be the first time worshippers have been attacked inside a mosque in egypt it's the country's coptic christians as well as security forces who usually bear the brunt of such fine it does appear to follow a broader trend in the middle east the most. square the attack took place was the birthplace of a revered sufi cleric is frequented by the followers of supers and that's the mystical dimension of islam their followers are considered to be heretics by islamic fundamentalists and are as a result often targeted by extremist groups. we spoke to middle east analyst martin j. about the attack he thinks there will now be a concerted effort by the egyptian government to deal with extremism in the sinai region to prevent similar attacks repeating themselves it's interesting and it's significant that mosques may well be no a future trend in egypt or or in the in the sinai province i think this particular

mosque in the sinai which was known to be a supporter of sisi and susie's cc's crackdown on terrorism that probably put it in the firing line as an alternative strand of islam and i think that was another statement so a double whammy of four four eisel filleted groups and so i know we'll have to wait and see whether that program extends itself will see a much more intelligent a more focused campaign to deal with this terrorism of the root cause and also i think the injection government are working very closely with israel and they'll put a lot of pressure on hamas now to not have anything to do with this group there are still a few tunnels in operation in terms of transporting of arms and hamas will also be on the radar. of the states where regulators say their plans to revoke the so-called net neutrality rules have widespread public backing the move could lead to a two tier internet where some sites pay to get their traffic pro ties though for others it seems that not all the public feedback was genuine. seeing this is pretty

annoying and if net neutrality is rolled back in the us people we seeing a lot more of it here's how it works at the moment internet providers have to treat all online traffic equally that means that they can't block or slow anything down but all thirty's will matter and they think the private sector will invest trillions of dollars into web services if their plan goes ahead they even asked the country what it thought of the move people to submit comments and twenty two million replied the majority in favor of repealing net neutrality problem is some users started to complain that they didn't write the comments then approved by the new york attorney general revealed some feedback to the f.c.c. plan was actually fake hundreds of thousands of americans were likely impersonated to drown out the views of real people and businesses this was a can to identity theft on a massive scale. but the scale might be even bigger than that one data scientist

claims he's found at least one point three million fake pro repeal comment he noticed repetitive language looking as if it was generated by a computer program meanwhile the national tracking poll shows that the majority of americans actually support net neutrality as to who is definitely against it the telecom corporations who stands and huge profits by charging more for faster connections and by the way the current head of the f.c.c. used to work for the biggest telecom operators in the us or we have asked the federal communications commission to comment on the investigation into those allegations of fake comments and foreign meddling we'll let you know when we get a reply. an experiment simulating a mission to the moon has just landed in russia half a dozen crewmembers spent just over two weeks isolated and confined to a mock spacecraft was it serious was partly funded by the american space agency nasa.

now this is the first stage of the experiments next year participants will spend

about four months in simulated space then in twenty nineteen the isolation will last for eight months the final stages expected to last for about one here is so the results will help pave the way for anyone to travel into space in the not too distant future. soon normal citizens will be able to spend time in space it's going to be something that not just astronauts and not just highly trained personnel can go to so it's a very important that we take normal citizens are normal scientists that don't have an astronaut background we see how they're going to work on these environments there are a lot of qualities that people generally have that could be used very efficiently in space exploration so i think that it's a good thing to have these sorts of programs of space collaboration and exploration that do not require people to go through this kind of formal you know nasa or russian astronaut and cause much training. eagle kaufman is from nasa as human

research program he spoke to us what i think some of the benefits of cooperation with russia. so nasa has a long standing. collaboration with the research arena biomedical research with the russian space industry particularly with i.b.m. p. institute for biomedical problems in russia we have been doing that for years. we bring a great deal of experience both sides. a lot of experience and in this area both sides have been conducting this type of research studies as well as spaceflight studies op on the international space station for many years so it was only natural for us to join forces and the latter to take basically leverage each other's abilities and it's only eleven makes sense to increase or

efficiency in joining our forces and going further together. six is the most protesters are killed and nearly two hundred injured when riot police break up a demonstration over election rights in pakistan we'll have that story and more after the break. our.

laws to. americans. the. support of some. for making unsafe feel. welcome back to the program american tech giants are being asked to help the country's immigration authorities report said they're planning to vet the social media accounts of people who want visas with more on what's proposed here scale

a mormon. the information revolution and the boom of social media have put the world at our fingertips but they've also created some very convenient tools for the government so is the i.t. sector still what the users want us immigration and customs enforcement has asked tech companies microsoft included to help them screen the social media of people holding or applying for american visas in order to make that happen the government is asking them to develop special algorithms we have millions and millions and millions of people coming every year and subsequently departing so we have to be smart about it and i'm sure there are tools out there that can help from microsoft this won't be the first experience they've had working with u.s. authorities last month microsoft released a program called as your government a cloud service of classified information customers with secret requirements can expect to gain access to technologies that scale including services such as cognitive capabilities artificial intelligence and predictive analytics amazon will

also be helping to stock the government's tool box last week they released a cloud computing region that will be helping the cia and other intelligence agencies they double you and secret region is a key component of the intel communities multi fabric cloud strategy and u.s. senator mitch mcconnell has blatantly stated that the i.t. sector should be working to serve us foreign policy goals and of course he mentioned the russian what we ought to do with regard to the russians is retaliate seriously retaliate against the russians and the these farms could be helpful and having those give us a way to do that the tech sector is private it's supposed to only serve its users and its shareholders but recently more and more it's starting to look like silicon valley is a wing of the u.s. government kaleb mop and artsy new york. yes journalist derrick bros says

that people should be more aware of what can be done with your personal details it's worth noting in understanding that when you search and you use google when you use social media tools like facebook and these other softwares and these other types of apps that they often are very forthcoming with your information they're willing to give your information over to the u.s. government without much of a fight some of them do put up a fight occasionally but for the most part they work with them very regularly and that's something you should take into consideration and perhaps pursue alternatives google is not the only search engine that exists there's better alternatives there's better alternatives to facebook there's better alternatives to all these different companies and at some point people should say if you want to support the u.s. government's surveillance and the u.s. government's push towards a police state that i'm not going to buy your product anymore i'm not going to use your product anymore it really will and could be problematic especially with the social media monitoring of immigrants and really the social media monitoring of all americans and in foreigners and people abroad it has implications beyond you know

just whether or not the u.s. in these private industries are working together they're definitely working together whether it's for profit over something more nefarious we don't know at this point but i would say this is something more people should be paying attention to there's always been private industry working for governments that's kind of a standard practice but i do think that what we're seeing is this relationship between big business corporate america and the u.s. government it's getting further and further and mesh in till they're becoming just one single entity. signed a new piece of legislation that will require some media outlets to register as foreign agents in russia and this comes in response to seven of moves against r.t. america and in the u.s. here because it. the russian law is similar to the american foreign agents registration act or faroe and requires the outlets to disclose the details about their activity and financial information and this is all in response to the united

states in the acting there a law against arts in america who was forced to register as a foreign agent in the united states just last week answer months of pressure from washington now our channel was accused of serving as a tool off alleged russian influence during the twenty sixteen presidential race however no evidence of that has been provided arms of the new law in russia and the media outlets funded by foreign states operating here may be designated a foreign agent by the justice ministry and they will have to put a disclaimer on all of his publications including online that it comes indeed from a foreign agent say they refused to do that and they're too busy in russia will be stopped now earlier russia's ministry of justice warns us on that outlets the voice of america and radio liberty all for the possibility of them having to register as foreign agents here in russia. now the pakistani government has ordered the army

to be deployed to the country's capital islamabad that's office six people reportedly killed in clashes the violence erupted when police forcibly dispersed a group of islamist protesters the activists had been blocking key roads in the city for nearly three weeks. was. it was. it. was was i. was was thousands of police officers took part in the operation to disperse the demonstrators the hard line islamists were opposed to a legal move that would have allowed non muslim candidates the stand in elections

they were also demanding that the current justice minister step down. you may think you've come across some interesting military innovations but how about the soviet battle most certainly got the media in finland fired up although some basic fact checking might have saved them from the war. at the bank. the in the bank the with the.

thanks. published in the russian magazine popular mechanics the man behind. but i think of the photos used in this article partially rio the photo of the moose was taken by a friend of mine at a moose farm one of the red army soldiers is me i'm standing with my but it was the camera on the right having taken this photo we later combined it with a photo of the moose i mean has been opened in fill in this year which is dedicated to the winter war and there is a hole there featuring the combat moose i was really taken aback at because there is a line at the end of our article saying this is a joke and the story was disseminated on the internet with no mention of this this is not even about fake news this is just an april fool's day joke. that's all for
