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 does 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 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 as we mentioned the future of the iranian nuclear deal is expected to be a key point of discussion at the meeting between the crown prince and trump in

washington both are expected to take a hard line we discuss the chances of washington pulling out of the agreements with the how to run do politics professor university of tehran. well it is possible that the united states will pull out of the deal we're not still sure because trump is so unpredictable i think it's quite obvious that the united states is discrediting itself the nuclear deal came after was it the result of the years of negotiations the united states by signing up to an agreement that the russians and the europeans and u.s. allies have been a part of the chinese as well by pulling out the americans are showing that they have no credibility whatsoever in the future no country in the world should take the negotiations with the united states seriously because they may come to some sort of an agreement with the americans and then ultimately the americans they will be demanding new concessions and they may pull out of the such an agreement.

users of facebook are questioning the credibility of the service following revelations of a personal data harvesting and he says he has details on the tech giants data battle. deletes facebook it's the hashtag that's been trending on twitter the social network uses off feel reus facebook played a part in getting donald trump into the white house from fifteen million facebook users was harvested by a troubling anonymity 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 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 bar miss 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 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 state in 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 to make money by collecting and selling detailed records of private lives but once plainly described as surveillance companies rebranding us social media is the most successful deception since the bombing of war became the barman of defense the information that came originally skill was given was a teen by fraudulent means but what's interesting about it is it didn't seem to be

any checks and balances were always happen in this cambridge professor he got away with this facebook seem to know he'd 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 is being quoted out how much it's been allowed to access be honest for the obama campaign to get access through you click you on up to all your friends and then this week carried on with further down the road became john it was a go this is cool we open up our a legal and a moral quagmire and while you're reading articles on how to slate your data on facebook remember that's a simple face that mean claimed to be posted by russia and thought have caused chaos in the us elections perhaps trivial in the grand 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. a police officer in germany has

been fined a thousand euros after refusing to shake hands with a female coworker citing religious reasons the officer was also made to sign a document where he acknowledges women as in. calls while also promising not to discriminate in the future the incident in question took place at a staff party last year after which a disciplinary action was initiated many followers of islam refrain from certain forms of physical contact with people outside the family as a sign of modesty and humility there my colleague dana hawkins opposing views on the issue. maybe frankly i myself was very glad to see muslims saying that i don't want to shake the hand. but it was his decision and there is a lot of other cultures like the japanese they don't shake even some of the orthodox jews but i myself i think if he is a police man and he's working as an official. person for the government this

shouldn't be the way he has acted to do x. million as a similar case in sweden with. a police officer again. believed refused to shake hands. sided with the officer they said we need to embrace diversity. what's the problem with embracing diversity that is the big debate and germany has to decide what it wants to become do we want to accept that islam is part of our every day's life and every day is cultures or do we want to accept the wail on women's heads and faces do we want to accept burka do we want to accept gender inequality as part of. religious and cultural traditions if you say germany should change its culture and change its identity. i think it's a legit. opinion i don't share it with

a new german interior minister mr hoffa that islam doesn't belong in the country the muslims of course who live in germany they're a part of the country a part of the nation but he said doesn't that's not olds with mrs merkel isn't it what do you make of his comments there is big problems mass immigration from islamic countries and so he tries to to bring such a statement to women voters back european culture what do you see as europe what you see as european architecture culture music literature is not formed by islam islam hat so. influence but it you can say that islam is one of the sources of fuel in a culture while i think is neglecting historical. facts that europe is a huge mistake it has a great history and a long history there is that the christian part is the jewish. muslim acquired just saying islam is not part of germany is just playing on and trying to. look to the

right wing voters and trying to satisfy them. it is exactly fifteen years since the start of the u.s. led operation iraqi freedom more commonly known as the iraq war started out as a promise to liberate a country from a dictator turned into years of conflict right across the region is a reminder of how things unfolded. less than a teaspoon full of dry anthrax in an arm below shutdown the united states senate arac declared eighty five hundred liters of anthrax. 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

. 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 is people who pop up from hostile those innocent people of mosul are the ones who would acquire dollars humanitarian assistance. i want of the doggies pages in the wall was the exposure of the torture of iraqi detainees at abu ghraib prison. the chain in question was originally used by saddam hussein for political prisoners but after the u.s. invasion in two thousand and three it became a military prison for thousands of captured iraqis there many of the iraqis suffered torture sexual abuse rape and humiliation and images of soldiers posing

next to tormented prisoners shocked the world when they were released and led to the convictions of eleven u.s. soldiers the story received a massive public outcry in america r.t. has spoken to former abu ghraib prisoners who describe for us their ordeal and i must warn you may well find the images coming up now disturbing. we'll know more when the americans arrived with their tanks we thought they would read us 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. 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 on a million 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 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 justice stays with you forever. a government raid on the austrian secret

service is headquarters and the suspension of its head have caused a political uproar in the country astri's new right wing government suspects the country's intelligence agency the b.v.t. of holding data illegally it also accuses the agency's chief of corruption has now been suspended a move the interior minister describes as unavoidable busy. as you know we have taken legal action against several officials from the b.v.t. intelligence agent something accused by the prosecutor in this case i can tell you that effective immediately pizza grid ling is suspended as b.v.t. director until further notice. however the opposition claims that the probe is politically motivated the social democrats insists that the government just wanted to seize compromising data on right wing extremists and they're now threatening an inquiry into the actions of the ruling party. it took less than one hundred days to

cause doubts among the austrian people over the security forces your actions intimidated those officials who are supposed to fight the extreme right is the signal that will embolden the right is seen we put the opposition's concerns to johannes quote no and then pay for the main party in austria's ruling coalition. prosecution asked for this rate which was not actually rape but it was a search there was a pending criminal investigation against some members of the b.b. t. the b.b. g.'s of very sensible institution and police because it is the so-called bureau for the protection of the constitution and to fight against terrorism that's what the abbreviations that stands 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 a bureau was such

a sensible tuscumbia run by someone who is under criminal investigation himself. this search was done and as it was a sensible subject to search for a unit which has absolutely nothing to do with crime against the state this was the g.s. 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 thing now. easily to sell is a big thing it will 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

data that have to do with extremist investigation all the data remained in place if they took copies of these daughters i am not aware of i don't know but the fact is that no file was written removed and in no way 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 the main opposition parties strives to exploit. into is this even here in our teens or national don't forget if you enjoy your news on the go we will help you there we're on facebook or on twitter and plenty more stories available by heading to our website us r t dot com.

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 are your friends political preferences for advertisers and marketers these cut this kind of information is gold gold for political campaigns manage vibranium pulled from our well 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

facebook 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 kaymer general let it go 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'd fill out the cute little quiz on facebook that was the app facebook's rules allowed apps to act . says the the app user's friends info as well as their own your friend puts that

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 their 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. get the. real thing it's like. at the bottom if you. like you know that i got. this. week so. well on the watch of the harks the entire robot

and on top of the last thing came by then i want to go biggest story of the weekend coming into this week that was was the fact that the the million facebook users information was hijacked if room facebook back in like twenty fourteen twenty fifteen campaign used it to selectively go after certain sets of voters you know so that was 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 or whatever to get them to vote donald's way. right there who is are going to go against the that's the that's the day i mean you saw the mainstream media just room sitting like oh ok we get this is somehow tied to russia maybe this company met with the general company a few times. they have really made those. elections again i don't i haven't seen anything yet that really makes that connection it really looks like this is you

know data mining and russian warping her 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 strategic communication laboratories what makes the strategic communication laboratories different than the internet research company what that does that there 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 contractor 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. facts change. so much so what is different than the internet research agency and those which now we look at. how

yes it is really different you know i'm told they deny any wrongdoing but if you are scammers analytical is analytical is on their part by hedge fund billionaire robert mercer and so that's where i asked that question like where is the moral line that how why is this illegal or not illegal why are they working so everybody working so hard to make excuses for 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 i got that you're 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 advertisers are 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 when they were involved but what's interesting is that so now facebook has suspended cambridge and a lot of guff in 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 them so trump so there's a lot of sort of connections and what that's not 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 and all of this because yes this company was you know illegally got this because the app itself 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 media platforms 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 a understanding about and before we run out was 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 make 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 hold seven grand slam titles by the b.b.c. is own standard mcenroe should make about less than one thousand dollars and. aloha 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 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 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 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. 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 and the advantage from from the get go basically so oh yeah and you know and 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 gender things on the ground is it is is a quality happening in the ranks for females.
