live there. and 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 one of the biggest in history and reportedly the u.s. is hoping to make more profitable deals with the country now there are some voices in the senate that oppose it and they've put forth a bill that would end u.s. support to the saudis and that is set to be voted on tuesday and the senate has

even grilled the u.s. centcom over the use of american weapons but the pentagon doesn't seem to have that many answers just sit com track the purpose of the missions that it is refueling what targets it strikes and the results of that mission senator we did not ok and apparently russia will also be on the agenda when trump meets with the saudi prince senior u.s. officials say president trump and mohamed bin someone will look for ways to make russia pay a price for its aggressions now the kremlin has responded expressing regret over the demonization of russia but with all the protests and the senate vote that's coming up it doesn't seem that the meeting will go as planned or as smoothly as trump would have hoped. users of facebook questioning the credibility of the service following revelations of a personal data harvesting he said he said he has details on the tech john's data

battle. deletes facebook it's the hashtag that's been trending on twitter the social network users often feel 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 kogan 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 this 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 analytical once facebook realized 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 his reelection campaign in two thousand and twelve is former media analytics director claims they managed to get a lot more personally information than their rivals if they spoke users clicked on the democratic side it enabled campaigners to access a wealth of information all thanks to the loopholes in facebook's privacy terms facebook twenty five election we got people to opt in the privacy policies of that time on facebook worried 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 size and 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 and 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 defense and while you are reading articles on how to delete your data or facebook remember this a simple facebook mean claimed 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. now to martin

summer's independent journalist and commentator joins me on the line good evening martin we've heard a lot about cambridge analytically are there in the crossfires of the media for sure at the moment but how much blame should facebook be getting over this scandal . but it's still developing story isn't it i mean the existence of facebook does allow you know darker forces like cambridge analytical to paranoid to parasites on what they're doing. cambridge analytical of course were also involved heavily in the briggs it campaign here targeting to keep key swing voters there are questions about who funded that. and you know the whole question of how elections are run how you know the claims of hacking and so on this is a great big bullets there isn't it that that's. creating a lot of fuss. given that we it's not just the term campaign also the obama

campaign back in two thousand and twelve has been revealed pretty much did the same thing using facebook to try and influence voters when votes does that have any effect upon how we view the so-called russian box that allegedly tried to influence voters. i mean it's there's no secret that there is a massive amount of money spent on trying to win the election campaigns in the us and elsewhere that involves of course harvesting data in targeting messages that people and so on. you know the conservative government here of course has been very keen to push the idea that the russians have been fiddling with our elections and so on but except of course for the briggs's vote which went the way they wanted and cambridge analytical were involved very much in once as has been exposed by karel cadwallader here in the guardian newspaper and it's a sting operation by channel four. which is actually exposed to all of the recent. skullduggery as it were. it is going to be an outcry over this does not

mean this have to be the same over president obama's election and with the help of information from facebook. well i think the fact of the matter is that there's faulty much money in western elections there's the rules about it on incredibly lax especially in the us where private corporations can chuck any amount of money at an election and done enough to say that they spends it or account for it in better run countries that are in scandinavia there are very strict rules about how much money can be spent on elections and who can spend it effectively elections are funded by the government and people and the political parties get funded according to their level of support that's certainly not the case in the us and you know that but we're looking we're talking about the interface between politics public relations and psychological warfare and i met a son pretty expertise on the psychological warfare of the some years ago here in bristol. and he said well i don't work for the army anymore rim i own company i

won't name him. said will and he said i get paid a lot more for doing the same business i used to do for the army or now do for myself or rather privately. and he said and i said well what do you do we said want to go around the world and fix elections and i said does it work is that the course it does the last people wouldn't pay me this is you know i train psychological warfare officer martin downs a fascinating final comment you came out with there many thanks for your insight and analysis not as some as my guest independent journalist and commentator thank you now u.s. president on trumpets congratulated putin on his election when you might be a bit surprised we'll bring you the full details after the break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. want to. have to be right to be first that's what will make for three of the more people. interested always in the waters of our age. bracket should.

come back the united states president donald trump has told putin to congratulate him on his election win on the sunday let's bring it all to correspond around guns in across this story for us not see many people world leaders dead to make that call as i understand from the dead but he took his time getting around to it. well there had been a lot of speculation about whether the washington donald trump would call vladimir putin and congratulate him on his reelection in fact earlier today russian press bugged putin's spokesperson about that and he sort of he shrugged and said they'll call or they won't don't read too much into it it wouldn't be an unfriendly thing to do not to call but it appears that trump did call and congratulated guided me a putin on his reelection they also discussed

a number of issues apparently syria the situation in ukraine there's well as the what the donald trump called the developing arms race between russia and the united states the this you can question given that russia's military spending has been falling for years putin yesterday said that it will continue to fall and america's only been rising but don't trouble also said they may meet in the near future to discuss the various issues that have that have come up ukraine syria as well as this potential arms race and thanks for that day rigas the bring is the latest. next is exactly fifteen years since the start of the u.s. led operation iraqi freedom you probably know it better as the iraq war started out as a promise to liberate a country from a dictator turned into years of conflict across the region is

a reminder of how things unfolded. less than a teaspoon full of dry anthrax in an audible open shutdown the united states senate arac declared eighty five hundred liters of anthrax cut i mean iraqis can hear me tonight in a translated radio broadcast and i have a message for them the tyrant will soon be gone. the day of your liberation is near . i. cut them tonight i am

announcing that the american combat mission in iraq has ended. it will take time to eradicate a cancer like i said we will conduct a systematic campaign of airstrikes against these terrorists. the touch . what's concerning his people who pop up those innocent people of mosul are the ones who get our humanitarian assistance.

one of the darkest pages in the war was the exposure of the torture of iraqi detainees that was at the abu ghraib prison the jail was originally used by saddam hussein for political prisoners but after the u.s. invasion of two thousand and three it became a military prison for thousands of captured iraqis are there many of the iraqis suffered torture sexual abuse rape and humiliation the horrific images of soldiers posing next to tormented prisoners shocked the world when they were released led to the convictions of eleven american soldiers the story received a massive public outcry in the u.s. r.t. has spoken to former abu ghraib prisoners who described her as their ordeal and i must warn you may find some of the images coming up now disturbing. when the americans arrived with their tanks we thought they would readers of the harsh regime everyone would have their own house and car just like in the wealthy arab

countries or in the west but it turns out to be the opposite. which was they would hang a prisoner on the metal door of the cell and subject them to electrocution or you're a nation they would stick a rifle into sensitive areas or they would use a broken broomstick causing internal bleeding prisoners would need surgery. 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.

that is. the time i spend in the prison felt like a lifetime an hour or that pain humiliation and unchastity is stays with you forever. i'll be back with more news for you and often i'll say that. you know when you don't. see the teachers who are. dead equipped to do. what they need not through only ten space you. may be. left alone kelly said. claiming to know somebody did that to.

you speak french. most. of the family bank here then send them all to new impose morning. exposing them to accept a false. light for many clubs over the years so i know the gunman so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spending to get to the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy but great so what chance with. the base

it's more nudes. the most expensive fish in the world each one is selling for tens of thousands of euros it continues to grow its entire life if it was thirty years old you might have a two ton fish out there and yet they don't get that big today because we're way too good at catching. it's only when the inside of a much larger mission was once there was much more widely distributed we have politicians that are in office for a few years they have to get reelected everything is very very short term our system is not suited and is not geared toward long term survival and that's why we have the catastrophes.

my soul the jolly roger sighing all have piqued my interest so i went. to ask somebody what is this is somebody is going to. come they tell me all of this is to suffer and today i believe in waiting the little fishing oh my god old that's kind of interesting. well you know the part they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long but. really. the world is changing over tactics such and things we are working to look to give the

government needs to thailand for them to wait like i'm sure they've all seen what's happened in the i'll go fish is gonna be at mt biggest mt the quad collapse there was just nothing to catch and now the european lead to the east africa is already in a very bad state like then they got told us to have been there there's still a lot of his name being below shows and if you look at the situation in somalia the pirates can be argued that they used to be fishermen and by then foreign told us came from fish they have no income so i think it's just common sense that the country is so waking up.

if. you. expect to see him wanting to come to it then you must see him do the time turn posted a few times costs in the name of goodness do not do consume come from good news. to men married to god wouldn't it be for him to. show be nice to the leftist p.c. not exactly nothing but even a good kind of magic to look down to piss him. to turn him in. to. see if.

it's about poker or. if. the money comes from the same song. just your. job if that's all you have at it if the money just to see if it's still there so you keep probably. filed but if you. think it. will be fictional instruments. you ought. to come up and sleep till you well give up. well. comes well up. and i just feel it as it was.

most of all i think it's an awful lot like minute. please see because you. leap completely please intentness i'm still coming to you i'll stick to my daughter. wants to be cut cut cut cut cut cut the fuck was. going to. let. live. live live. live. live in the coming world we change the chamber to make sure there is

no bullet in the chamber. so when there is told they are safe there in the bullet and then when we give them which is the temple again and when they come back to check the champus will make sure that when this told there is no will that night and many more and again so i'll still separately have the. heavy lifting to go so that it. doesn't lead it to what led police to the. day i will tell you something. that no one. the center of the list also nine hundred fifty of us below that's

a waiting ship the harbor pulling back used to be over here. these will be one of the harbor for its needs. and i think that's the sweetest thing it used to kill whales now it's protecting them. to see show book the threatening to worry also in the southern ocean and so the japanese were those go down to the royals to see schimmel was the only one window on there. and. it was too close of story was how the sea shepherd stood up to that and got in the tween you know the. loose lips the processing stands and prevented him from being able to transfer the whales onto

in the process instead. of being there in the small boat next to the harp warships and it's just yeah it's gary it's new friend but then again throwing paint balls to burst just physically stopping illegal fishing vessel and taking them out of the action to save millions hundreds of thousands of lives. we would get very very close to when we've been able to basically block them from transferring that way to be able to physically go to them by. putting defensive lines into the water not only nesting bombs to ensure that they can only pay into them to symbolize the bloody dismissed but they are doing i think the walls impressing the campaign called. all the way through the. fuel tanker to come together the need to get fuel

and this is what we do. here in between. to stop these review immigration procedures they cannot have fuel they won't be able to deal with chile if you let's see two ships need to come together like so the nation tried to come alongside the fuel tanker and we had all worksheets there in between them to stop them from. five days still being in that situation but we read tents. through the water barges in general. for the last all sneering look at all engines to stop it he. just kept there and then extremely bring. mayday mayday mayday call it was told by have no engines and all knew then the nisshin maru pulled away and before that they had already crossed the main mast. crush the hill

a day. or so to the boat. but it was very very close. now after we had the injunction. that we cannot go five hundred meters close to an injunction from the u.s. court and that's the weird thing how the u.s. courts have jurisdiction in the international waters to accrue that it's international to a ship like the netherlands but still we are respecting. the do not engage in illegal activities this flag. at the moment we don't use it in africa. because there is a piracy situation and it's not very tactful unpolitically correct to fly

a pirate flag of course part of me always looks back to these days. that we had legs your old toller and saved the life of seven hundred weight of course you always look back to the people who you work with these accomplishments and think. that's nice but then i'm also stream we have been the directions these are but has taking for me personally fishing and overfishing has been my thing i've always hope i hope it would do more for the cost of fish they don't scream when they die and nobody knows what's going on with them like they are the underlings of the planet in no way so for me to see these collaborations with governments putting more. work into fish dream come forward in.

the morning. so we're still here really crucial. for. what you. do. with its first. word was. that you. know you just you shift gears a bit so you research and it's been interesting here for days normally you would expect the first ship to go from the work to the words it's believed possible from those frozen food that we journey but just to sit offshore with a bunch of frozen for speed.
