12:32 pm
after i was released whenever i saw americans on the street i would be terrified they would send me back to that place and torture me again it still keeps me up at night remembering the torture they hear the screams of us young and yet i still have nightmares and suffer physical and mental pain as if it all happened yesterday yes i work night and day to try to forget it what we went through and what happened to iraq was a terrible crime it broke us even now i can't get inside a bafta because it makes me think of waterboarding. the time i spend in the prison felt like a lifetime an hour or that pain humiliation and unchastity is stays with you
12:33 pm
forever and iraqi am paid told is that they did first welcome the toppling of saddam hussein but then the invasion brought one catastrophe after another it's a mixture of feeling. feeling of happiness and joy. because that the invasion to remove saddam hussein from power. and three people. put on there and. what followed after the removal of the regime is a disaster after disaster because the american invasion immediately created an absolute vacuum. and the security in the economy and in politics in iraq. and. and move times for the country from absolute

dictatorship. to. freedom without limits. freedom without responsibilities. now the u.k. seeking a warrant to search the service of data mining firm cambridge analytic are accused of helping donald trump to win the presidency the date of some fifty million facebook users was allegedly used to predict the choices of american voters facebook claims though its information was used illegally and what some are already calling the largest data leak in the social media giants history. think back to the last personality quiz you completed on facebook what if i told you that data was allegedly sold to help trump win the presidential election it may seem a bit farfetched but that's exactly why u.k. data analytics company is in trouble with facebook in two thousand and fifteen we
12:35 pm
learned that a psychology professor at the university of cambridge named dr alexander kogan lied to us violated our platform policies by passing data from an app that was using facebook logon to s e o king which analytical the firm that does political government and military work around the globe facebook is now under scrutiny trying to explain how the data fifty million of its users was harvested by a trumped linked analytics company and what appears to be the largest data leak in the social network's history and in fact one cambridge university professor created a facebook personality app and then simply passed all the info quiet from its users to the third party the third party is the cambridge analyst company which many in the media suspect played at least a part in trouble success once facebook realized it violated their terms they wanted all the data to be destroyed it led both companies to a data feud which of course has the potential to become a lengthy legal battle but according to n.s.a.
12:36 pm
whistleblower edward snowden facebook is really a surveillance company in sheep's clothing businesses that make money by collecting and selling detail records of private lives but once plainly described as surveillance companies rebranding is the most successful deception since the bomb is the most successful deception since the bombing of war became the defense according to twitter more and more users seem to be clued up on data terms and conditions found on social media platforms. for the love of god everyone talking about facebook can bridge before you come and please learn how targeting works and that it's commonplace it looks like data might have been leaked but it looks a billion times worse if you don't understand how data targeting works i don't know about everyone else but the people i know don't blindly trust facebook with information their data was leaked and used against the whole nation you know they continue to refuse to protect the data their time is limited if i understood this
12:37 pm
correctly facebook has access to loads of personal data gives third parties access to the states and when the state is abused the major problem is that these facts were leaked shooting the messenger does not solve the problem so it should be no surprise to learn that when you next complete a quiz or pollen facebook there might be an all terry motive behind it for you watching r.t. still ahead feel this hour in austria a government right on the secret service headquarters there and the suspension of its head sparking political uproar we've got the details on that plus of the stories to just after the break. its. level was w one the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to buy the battle. to stop to try to tell you that would be gossip to have a. lot of talk about advertising tell. all and i like
12:38 pm
. all the hawks that we all walk the walk. american lives one is the melting. of the second is the. senior american who works hard so this is a whole group of people all generation in america that there is no melting pot we're not being assimilated there's no opportunities we can't so their response essentially is to go into conflict this is a major. welcome

back the future of the iran's nuclear deal is expected to be a key discussion points when the saudi crown prince meets donald trump in washington later on tuesday both a tip to talk tough on the agreement however mohammed bin sound man is expected to be met by protests as well as a senate vote on the u.s. support for the side led bombing of yemen a demonstration in front of the congress building earlier on monday called on washington to end its backing for riyadh's attacks reports are also emerging that russia's involvement in the middle east will be on the agenda to senior u.s. officials say president trump and mohamed bin selman will look for ways to make russia pay a price for its aggression. right now let's get the thoughts now third mohammad marandi politics professor at the university of tehran i'm pleased to say he joins us now good afternoon to you cite let's just talk about russia first then in
12:40 pm
a price to pay what could that mean do you think what would you expect from this meeting concerning russia. it's difficult to say the. deep state of the united states has been attempting to punish russia. extensively over the last year and a half two years at least part of it is because i think they cannot reconcile themselves with the reality. trump came to power and they are trying to use russia as a scapegoat and trump no matter how awful he is he is the product of the american political process. the part of the state that supports him they are responsible for bringing him to power. but i also think it's because of syria the united states helped to create. in in our region and
12:41 pm
the helped create the menace that cause nine eleven ultimately and they again use al qaeda with their regional allies like saudi arabia as they did in afghanistan in libya and then in syria and we know for example in yemen that al qaeda is fighting alongside the saudis so al-qaeda in syria of course turned into different groups including isis which originally was al-qaeda all these extremist groups were destroying syria taking the country and also moved into iraq and it was because of . the russians the iranians and hezbollah and the people of syria of course and the people of iraq and afghan the volunteers among others it was because of them that isis was pushed back in al-qaeda and this is something that. has made the americans and their allies very angry you mentioned iran there to rein in influence no doubt that's going to be discussed to you would you expect anything specific on that like
12:42 pm
the iranian nuclear deal. well it is possible that the united states will pull out of the deal we're not still sure because trump is so unpredictable the saudis and the moralities are pushing very hard for this they are also like trav very. irrational in their auctions and very unpredictable the saudis they just recently kidnapped the. lebanese prime minister they of course been slaughtering the people of yemen. for three years now then the yemenis have been resisting barefooted when you look at the footage but still the saudis have made no headway in the tower the saudis have basically eyes try to isolate the country they've occupied rein the alienated or mom of course the people of iraq and syria have an immense dislike for the saudis for their actions over there marty is
12:43 pm
of course as well and these are the u.s. allies in the region so these three countries have a the possibility towards iran and of course any country that is associated with iran so i think the meetings will be looking through in these meetings they'll be looking for new ways to put pressure on iran but at the same time i think it should be kept in mind that we are seeing a relative decline of american fortunes in this part of the world and i don't think that the americans have the sort of power that they used to and the balance of power across the board world is changing and i think the saudis which are rapidly running out of financial resources argument lee we'll find out that it is a losing wager to bet on the united states side so sorry we're going to have to wrap it up there we've been at a time but always good to get your thoughts on this outside mohammed marandi policy professor at the university of toronto. government raid on the secret service
12:44 pm
headquarters and the suspension of its head are sparking political uproar in austria at the moment austria's new right wing government suspects the country's intelligence agency the b.v.t. of holding data illegally and alleges corruption by the group's chief interior minister described the intelligence chief suspension as unavoidable. b.c. of this as you know we have taken legal action against several officials from the b.b.c. intelligence agency accused by the prosecutor in this case i can tell you that effective immediately pizza grid link is suspended as b.v.t. director until further notice. however the opposition social democrats claim the prize is politically motivated and they insist the government just wanted to seize data on writing right wing extremists and are now threatening an inquiry into the reeling party's actions if you listen one hundred days to cause doubts among the austrian people over the security forces your actions intimidated those officials
12:45 pm
who are supposed to foot the extreme right is the signal that wimbledon the right is seen where we address the opposition's concerns that are really reeling party m. pager hands. prosecution asked for this raid which was not actually a raid but it was there was a pending criminal investigation against some members of the b.b. t. the b.b.c. is a very sensible institution and police because it is the so-called bureau for to protect and of the constitution and the fight against terrorism that's what the abbreviations that stand for if the head of this group of this bureau is under investigation it's clear that the minister has no other choice but to suspend him for the time being because such. was such a sensible task can't be run by someone who is under criminal investigation himself
12:46 pm
. this search was done and as it was a sensible subject to sort of to ask for a unit which has absolutely nothing to do with crime against the state this was yes that is the group for the fight against street crime. and this group is headed by a man close to the freedom party which makes the saying now. easily to sell is a big thing they were only to help the prosecution in case they met resistance or the people did not cooperate so they actually didn't do the rate they were just asked by the investigators by the criminal investigators to assist. all information i got is absolutely untrue and unfounded so it was no raid to seize that have to do with extremist investigation all the da to remained in place if
12:47 pm
they took copies of these daughters i am not aware of i don't know but the fact is that no file was removed and in no way the investigation against certain persons was inhibits it or stopped or something like that so this is all the rumor that made around it to construct a big story as you have seen today in the parliament even had a special session dedicated to this matter this is of course something the social democratic party and the main opposition parties tries to exploit you know he wants the company to soften him a back with no use in half and. one else seems wrong. but i. just don't. get to see. how to. train.
12:48 pm
oneself find themselves well it's a part. of the common ground. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. of the real need for. the far right than britain isn't just on the march it's taking violent mother's action i don't like it at gays you know again i see these organizations which are
12:49 pm
usually split into which we feel different names how do you view that. complex web of pictures. greetings and salutations while some believe money is what makes the world go round for many especially those in silicon valley and beyond its data personal data to be exact where you live what you like who you like are you happy sad mad glad at the world around you are you religious how often do you vote are you liberal or conservative why are your friends political preferences for advertisers and
12:50 pm
marketers these gut this kind of information is go go for political campaigns manage vibranium yes pulled it from marvel u. universe. so of data is indeed the most precious of resources in today's world the facebook has to be the new fort knox which would make camera journalistic and its parent company strategic communication laboratories a u.k. military contractor the bank robbers who stole fifty million gold bars worth of base book profile data and used it to help donald trump become president except unlike the actual fort knox facebook appears to share your gold with whatever university egghead or advertiser that comes in knocking which is put the social media giant in the political hot seat once again this week the alleged highest breaks down like this in two thousand and fourteen cambridge analytical hired a cambridge university professor to develop an app to farm the data which included
12:51 pm
people's location information jobs educational histories and page likes on facebook the professor paid some two hundred seventy thousand test subjects to install the app which then allowed him to harvest information off of some fifty million facebook users without their permission because at the time when you fill out the cute little quiz on facebook that was the app facebook's rules allowed apps to access the the app users friends info as well as their own your friend puts that on they can also see your stuff that they can base break them like that so this info was then paid for and used by the trump campaign to predict target and influence voters has all their information but is this really the trump campaign information heists that is being made out to be with steve bannon playing the robert de niro role or is this actually all just part of doing business in the information age and we just got to catch on up let's find out as we start watching the hawks.
12:52 pm
that's. the bottom. but like you that i got. the. wells on the watch of the harks i am tired robot and on top of the last thing cambridge and i want to go my biggest story of the week coming into this week that was was the fact that the million facebook users information was hijacked room facebook back and like twenty fourteen twenty fifteen trump campaign used it to selectively go after certain sets of voters you know so that was their way to basically just they knew what this person might be interested in and how to
12:53 pm
advertise to this person how to sell donald trump the republican party or whatever to get them to vote donald's way. so who is i can you know again the that's the that's the thing i mean you saw the mainstream media just room cheering like oh ok we get this somehow tied to russia maybe this company met with general company a few times. they have really made those connections again i don't haven't seen anything yet that really makes that connection it really looks like this is you know data mining and russian warfare him the twenty first century you know when someone question would be you know where the where the line is between what this company and what makes what was the name of a company or a camera or a strategic communication laboratories what makes the strategic communication laboratories different than the internet research company what that does that they i mean you know when you when you look at this it kind of breaks down like you know
12:54 pm
one is the parent company of like the other you know i mean it's just it's all that twisted game above that i mean what makes it different if this is a company that's a military or a tractor that is looking out for these kinds of things and going out and saying i'm not going to it's a british company going into a foreign doing business for a foreign entity and which to. facts change on the. center so what is different than the internet research agency and those which now we look at. how yes it is only different you know i'm told they deny any wrongdoing but if you are scammers analytical is analytical is on their part by a hedge fund billionaire robert mercer and so that's where i ask that question like where is the moral line that how why is this illegal or not illegal why are they working everybody working so hard to make excuses for tabor died a little while demonizing something like internet research agency where they both seem like something that shouldn't be there is somebody like data mining companies
12:55 pm
i got that you're confused when you brought it up just now though you know i was there and i don't know. but you know so they said that they were their idea was it promised to target voters what they were selling to their clients was that i would target voters unconscious psychological biases therapist and trying to be about fair as advertisers when trying to do that for years the act that this idea that they were going to magically figured out was facebook is another one of the comes the world of selling the internet is more but they want to get this personality profiles of of users and then use that obviously to target their biases into who would be good for trump or good for breakfast it was another when they were involved but what's interesting is that so now facebook has suspended cambridge and a little from the platform and what i think is strange although it's probably looking through what you know what it's going on is that they've also. suspended the page of whistleblower christopher wiley who brought it forward he was the whistleblower who told the truth about it so i don't remember the first worked with
12:56 pm
ted cruz in the presidential campaign they didn't originally work with him so trump so there's a lot of sort of connections and what that's all very interesting and what really i think what's really interesting to me is you have to ask the question just how culpable of space book at all of this because yes this company was you know illegally got this because the app itself told the user. they will share information with the app to make it a better not that will turn around and sell your information which is what happened to this the odds of this vote you know there's a lection company. but if. you know how kobolds facebook because basically you know data mining and using the tools to be deployed for streets of voters is exactly what most campaigns and all the obama campaign was lauded for sure you know that's what you do in elections these days so i guess it's also a understanding about and before we run out west and one thing is that snowden edward snowden actually tweeted out a really interesting part which kind of answers your question a little bit and said facebook makes some money by exploiting and selling intimate
12:57 pm
details about the private lives of millions far beyond the scant details you voluntarily pose they are not victims they are accomplices this is a business taking your using that information and selling it is the only way they're going to make money so i don't see them not selling our information. the only woman on the forbes list of the world's one hundred highest paid athletes for twenty seventeen was serina williams a number fifty one in twenty seventeen eight of the ten highest paid female athletes were in tennis gets rid of williams who has won about thirty nine grand slam titles for an eighty one billion dollar fortune while the highest paid man novak djokovic took home one hundred eight point six million dollars for only twelve grand slams like its grand slam titles and martina navratilova discover that the pay and quality in tennis isn't relegated to the court in an interview with the b.b.c. programme had around the never told of her shock when the b.b.c. published the salaries of their top personalities and it turned out that never to
12:58 pm
load was being paid ten times less than her fellow wimbledon commentator john mcenroe who is earning over two hundred thousand dollars for two weeks' work compared to the average at all those twenty thousand the b.b.c. contends that john martino performed different roles in the team and john's role is of a different scale scope and time commitment they're simply not. parable he is a defining voice within the b.b.c.'s coverage he is widely considered to be the best expert commentator in the sport highly valued by audiences his pay reflects all of this gender is a factor of course if this really was just about skill and expertise then it is never too low though with eighteen grand slam titles who edges out mcenroe who only holds seven grand slam titles by the b.b.c.'s own standard mcnamara's to make about less than one thousand dollars an hour to load should be making over half a million dollars if it's based on titles for the sports they're experts on and it isn't just tennis that's the pay in gender equality becoming an issue whether it's w.w. wrestling to finally figure out that female wrestlers sell lots and lots of tickets
12:59 pm
to the women the olympic hockey team demanding the pay and respect they deserve all the way to the women who write and talk about sports joining us today discuss the lack of love for females out of players a map waves is our two sports correspondent steve welcome steve great to be here steve that's a great interesting fascinating subject matter and i think we all can agree on that and i have one things i want to ask you was is there's been lots of excuses for that kind of pay disparity over the years between men's and women's sports that see you know the women's play shorter seasons and they're not quite as as mark of the bowl and like every excuse under the sun i mean even even mcenroe himself said quote and twenty ten said quote the women have a better in tennis than any other sport thanks to billie jean king but you shouldn't push them to play more than they're capable of so you see these kind of like you know this ingrained indoctrination our female athletes really given that much an advantage in sports or is mcenroe just kind of bitter about his eighty four loss to ivan lendl at the french open where does this all sit around the neck or oh
1:00 pm
he's a bit of a hot hit on the court and off the court obviously so i mean i think i don't think they're given an advantage at all they put the same blood sweat and tears they practice they prepare the same you know they should be given equal pay for equal work you know just like in any other profession so but they definitely are getting you know i think. the short end of the stick here in terms of you know for me it's a systemic and a cultural problem i believe because from a young age you know women as girls are told you know play with dolls if you play sports you're a tomboy and that kind of as a stigma so from a young age boys play sports girls you know are told to do that and that that's the problem i think where it all begins so you know stuff like basketball and you know the sports like the popular ones tennis basketball hockey golf you know we see men dominating those because a lot of times from a young age they were unavailable to little girls to start playing either because their.
