at night remembering the torture they hear the screams see on a minute i still have nightmares and suffer physical and mental pain as if it all happened yesterday 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 up because it makes me think of waterboarding. the way. the time i spend in the prison felt like a lifetime an hour or that pain humiliation and unchastity is stays with you forever. and iraqi and pay told us that they had first welcomed 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 of that the invasion to remove saddam hussein from power. and free people. but on the other hand. what followed after the removal of the regime as a disaster after disaster. because the american invasion immediately created. an absolute vacuum. in the security in the economy and in politics in iraq. and. and move turns for the country from absolute dictatorship to. through them with our limits.

through them without those false abilities. now users of facebook are questioning the credibility of the service following revelations over personal data harvesting artie's initial sethi has the details now on the tech giant data battle. deletes facebook it's the hash tag that's been trending on twitter the social network users off your reus facebook played a part in getting donald trump into the white house from fifteen million facebook users was harvested by a troubling analytic company and what appears to be the largest leak in the social networks history in two thousand and fifteen we learned that a psychology professor at the university of cambridge named dr alexander lying to us violated our platform policies by passing data from an app that was using facebook logon to s. you can which analytical firm that does political government and military work around the globe it all began with the cambridge university professor creating

a personality up and passing the information acquired on to a third party cambridge analytic a once facebook realised it violated their terms they wanted all data to be destroyed there has the potential to be a lengthy legal battle and the fuel to the fire is the fact cambridge and the liska say they were conducting separate work for the trump's presidential campaign surely the double trump campaign was the first opportunist in data gathering think back to a bomb as reelection campaign in two thousand and twelve is former media analytics director claims they managed to get a lot more personal information than their rivals if facebook users clicks on the democratic side it enabled campaigners to access a wealth of information all thanks the loopholes and facebook's privacy to facebook twenty five election we got people to opt in and the privacy policies of that time on facebook were that if they opted in they could tell us who all their friends were where this gets complicated is that freaks facebook out. so they shut off the

feature so that is out there you can take it back to the democrats have this information and with this information gathered they would know which one of your friends would implement the most in making a favorable voting decision davidson also says facebook allowed the obama campaign . to do things they would have allowed others to do simply because they were on their side is whatever information passed to the campaigns of trump and obama they have one thing in common victory another common thread was the involvement of facebook status both of victories whether in directly or directly and according to n.s.a. 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 our surveillance companies rebranding us social media is the most successful deception since the bombing of war became the barman of defense and while you're reading

articles on how to slate your data or facebook remember this a simple facebook mean claim to be posted by russia and thought to have caused chaos in the us elections perhaps trivial in the ground scheme of things as facebook looks into the nuts and bolts needed to prevent data leaking political campaign isn't their party's better tighten their belts. mr sethi there let's get the thoughts now chris bambery he's a political analyst and joins us from the u.k. good evening to you chris a lot of blowing we're hearing they're being placed on a cambridge analytic about how much do you think facebook itself should take responsibility for this scandal. on i think the blame is no shifting massively towards facebook itself while what was done in the obama campaign in two thousand and twelve which is reported in your package was not technically illegal it opens up a whole moral issue that you know you get as a consequence of getting their information about your friends they would then send

messages gives towards you from your friend or g. you for a vote for obama clearly breaching privacy that wasn't illegal morally i think is very question or indeed what facebook was doing alone as that happened very questionable fast forward to the trumbull action campaign this was all legal the information that came originally skill was given was obtained by fraudulent means but what's interesting about it is it didn't seem to be any checks and balances well as happened in this cambridge professor he got away with this facebook seem to know he done done this did nothing about it so i think facebook is culpable but also is opening up a much broader debate about how much information facebook is gods and as edward snowden has been quoted at how much it's been allowed to access to be honest for the obama campaign to get access through you curricula now to all your friends and then this week carry on with further down the road became john edwards because this is clearly open up a legal and

a moral quality in which i think facebook or begin to struggle and does it also weaken the narrative chris that it was russia but there were imprudent thing in swaying people's thoughts on social media when clearly you know you can point to something else. well i think it's open up a whole different a bit here of this company cambridge analytical koori trying to influence the votes no the feedback is our one so many voters but on the same time and if you look at trump didn't win by that many votes so any influence here and this was targeted so this is not just some sort of broad sweep intervention this was a very specific target where if you wanted to be our action you know small groups of swing voters are very important if you can find out what the likes or what you click on when you like on facebook whether likes or it gives you some indication of what you're where you're at if you can find out who your friends are and give you some indication where you're right in the context united states for instance you could probably work out that this person is latino and then you can begin to direct

messages say on the immigration question whatever it is to give you some influence and these messages coming from friends as well about how to vote have an influence so this is jumping on way beyond someone picking up a fairly obvious feet up on the edges of boards facebook will open up on the web this is serious business here were people are interviewing intel actions if you can do this and i keep saying this in all are just a few hundred thousand voters we don't know that it's that way the scale of it but our actions are often decided by relatively small numbers of people so if you can target in specific groups and think this is an issue which is going to influence them if we get their friends to say you should vote this way you should do this because this is an issue of your concern you know if you know someone's nervous about burglaries and you start targeting without votes for security security then you're probably going to get a chance of selling it this is essential what was happening here. we're going to get your thoughts on this we've run out of time now that was chris ambry political

analyst thank you. now and other news are donald trump is set to meet with the crown prince of saudi arabia at the white house later today to discuss the future of the iranian nuclear deal we'll have the details on that just after the break. dropping bombs brings me to the chickenhawk forced me to fight the battle. to do socks for to tell you the gossip but to. tell you the cool enough to fight. along the border with one. key american minutes one is the melting. and the second is the.

trap of anyone can see that america works hard so this is a whole group of people all generation in america is saying that there is no melting pot we're not being assimilated there's no opportunities we can't lose so their response essentially is to go into conflict and this is a major. welcome back now multibillion dollar deals the iran nuclear agreement the yemen war under also russia expected to be on the agenda as the saudi crown prince meets donald trump in washington a bit later on tuesday wolf for more on this let's go live to washington d.c.

he's across the story for us just bring us up to speed then them how is the visit going. well there's been a lot of criticism in washington over these saudi princes of visit as well as the saudi assault on yemen and just yesterday there was a rally held in front of congress protesting the latter but just for some background more than ten thousand people have been killed since the beginning of the conflict back in two thousand and fifteen and a saudi imposed a blockade has left the country at the brink of famine and the u.n. has deemed it the world's worst humanitarian crisis. there that you're looking.

at now even though there's been a public condemnation over it the u.s. has been supporting the campaign and they've been providing arms just last year donald trump signed a one hundred and ten billion dollars arms deal with the saudis about right now there's a bill in the senate that would put an end to u.s. support for the campaign and they even grilled us cent com over it let's take a quick look. tom track the purpose of the missions that it is refueling what targets it strikes and the results of the mission senator we do not ok. and apparently russia will also be on the agenda when meets the saudi prince senior u.s.

official say president trump of mohamed bin someone will look for ways to make russia pay a price for its aggressions. now the kremlin has expressed its regret over the demonization of russia but i honestly wonder how this meeting will go and if they come to agreement because if they do then it could potentially lead to very catastrophic consequences for the world yeah definitely looks talk about ok thanks samir that was in there for us there in washington thank you. before we go i think we can go back to our top story and look at those live pictures from london stansted airport because that's where twenty three russian diplomats are boarding a plane at the moment they've been expelled by the u.k. over this poisoning case be heading back to moscow and should arrive back here later this evening twenty three british diplomats incidentally were expelled by russia in a tit for tat response and they'll be leaving russia later this week. so that's how

things looking so far this evening will be back there and just. when you factor. public will. when the ruling classes reject them so. we can all middle of the room see.

the far right. isn't just on the march it's taking violent my daughter's action might. mean you know you see these organizations which usually split into which we differ how do you get. a. call. next wed i'll put your passion on. a plate for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch put the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill the narrowness and spending two

hundred twenty million on one player. pool it's an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance for. the base this morning. greetings and salutations while some believe money is what makes the world go round for many especially those in silicon valley and beyond it's 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 what are your friends political preferences for advertisers and marketers these cut this kind of information is gold gold for political campaigns manage vibranium yes pulled it from marvel you universe so of data is indeed the most precious of resources in today's world than 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 based book appears to share your goal with whatever university egghead or advertiser that comes a 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 analytic i hired a cambridge university professor to develop an app to farm the data which included 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 it on they can also see your stuff that they can base breakdown like that so this info was then paid for and used by the trump campaign to predict target and influence voters has all the information but is this really the trump campaign information high use 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. what. it looks like. it's like. the bottom. like you know that i got. this. week. well in the watch of the harks i haven't i robot and on top of the last thing came by then i want to go spend biggest story of the weekend coming into this week that was was the fact that fifty million facebook users information was hijacked room facebook back in like twenty fourteen twenty fifteen campaign used it to selectively go after certain sets of voters you know to

say that it's their way to basically just did they knew what this person might be interested in and how to advertise to this person how to sell donald trump the republican party whatever to get them to vote donald's way. right there who is hack and you know again the that's the that's the thing i mean you saw the mainstream media just. chilling like oh ok we get this somehow tied to russia maybe this company met with the company a few times. they have really made those connections you know i mean i haven't seen anything yet that really makes that connection it really looks like this is you know data mining and russian war put her in 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 the company or the camera or strategic communication laboratories what makes the strategic communication laboratories

different than the internet research company well that's the thing i mean you know when you when you look at this it kind of breaks down like you know 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. the facts change. so much so what is different than the internet research agency and this which now we look at. it is so different you know i'm told they deny any wrongdoing but if you are scammers analytical is analytical and in 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 is everybody working so hard to make excuses for a little while demonizing something like internet research changes to the where

they both seem like something that shouldn't be there is somebody like data mining companies i got the two confused when you brought it up just now but oh yeah you know i was there and i don't know this one 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 advertising and trying to do that for years the arc that this idea that they were going to magically figured out was facebook is another one of the cons that the world of selling the internet is but they want to get this personality profiles of of users and then use that obviously to target their or their biases into who would be good for trump or good for breakfast it was another one they were involved in 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 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 not so 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 and all of this because yes this company was you know illegally got this because they told the user. the hey will share information within the app to make it a better app 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 it has that but you know how culpable is facebook because basically you know data mining and using the tools to be deployed forms to reach voters is exactly what most campaigns and all the obama campaign was allowed for it . sure you know that's what you do in elections these days right which it's also understanding about and before we were going i was 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 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. to. 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 williams who's 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 the never to 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 twenty thousand the b.b.c. contends that john and martina perform different roles in the team and john's role is of a different scale scope and time commitment they're simply not comparable 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 mcenroe should make about less than one thousand dollars and. lova 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 pe and gender equality becoming an issue whether it's w w wrestling finally figured out that female wrestlers sell lots and lots of tickets 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 cheating us today it is that the lack of love for females out of players in that way it is our two sports correspondent steve welcome great to be here steve that's a great interesting fascinating subject matter i think we all can agree on that and that one things i want to ask you is there's been lots of excuses for that kind of pay disparity over the years between men's and women's sports of see you know the women's play shorter seasons and they're not quite 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 in the in mcenroe he's a bit of a hot 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 in 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 and it is secure 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 basket. ball 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 weren't available to little girls to start playing either because they were seen as not as marketable and that's another problem where they're not marketed or promoted like they should be which gives you know men the advantage from from the get go basically so oh yeah and yeah and that and that you know and they're still trying to play catch up that way which is ridiculous because they're performing at the same level yes let me ask you this in sports journalism is there some because we've seen a lot of things happening whether it's related to rape tender things in the crowd is it is is a quality happening in the ranks for female sports reporters or do they also struck just of how many female sports teams to just step over to just about i don't know if you really want to. but yeah it is sports journalism there's a big you know any quality there as well i mean just from you know there's ninety percent of sports editors who are men and that's you know that's amazing so you know women do that all right you know i don't even care if that's actually so i

mean that's the stigma again starting from the beginning from behind the scenes meredith vieira and example she was the first woman to host the olympics and that was only four years ago two thousand fourteen so that's amazing and you know we haven't come very far in in that respect so regarding to women sports journalists they are at a disadvantage when they go to cover the games are rejected from even entering the locker room because there was an incident three years ago in the jaguars an n.f.l. team in jacksonville three sports journalists who were females went to go in locker room like they were allowed to and i sure who didn't know what he was doing rejected them from coming in and said no you're not supposed to be in here and so they were prevented from doing doing their job so it makes you it makes a really hard for there to be women's sports in this when they can't even do their job. and. you know there are nader's has talked about it she's been called sideline barbie you know that is the thing you know it becomes about your logs where are the

guys court of do you that i think with this is something that will keep talking about will define the show more if nothing else to let you guys know about great women sports of the times this very big news and i'm sorry a time thank you so much steve for helping us kind of understand all this and and i think we're going to go to little more thank you so much to get the prime minister as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think about topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our full shows at r t v dot com coming up sean stone talks the new secretary of state might come pale future of syria with former cia operative cia officer and intelligence analyst philip giraldi and then we celebrate the spring of the stay tune for the truth the whole. world will come twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers available to us but there was one more question by the way is going to be our coach. guys i know you on the.
