willingly to the nazi established warsaw ghetto during the second world war occupation. five am in boston five pm in perth day right here in moscow this friday afternoon march the twenty third welcome to r.t. international our top story britain's defense ministry being caught up in the scandal surrounding cambridge allo that's a go to the company accused of collecting personal data from millions of facebook members and then exploiting it for political goals it's been revealed that the ministry paid cambridge analytic is person company s.c.l. group for what's being described does human and social influence work on top of the firm was reportedly granted access to secret government documents it's also said to

have carried out research to see how people would interact with certain government messaging. the story. cambridge on a ticket is seemingly everywhere apart from helping the campaign to victory by using information harvested from millions of facebook profiles it turns out the company's services have been used by the british government to cambridge on the parent company is called the f c l group the whistleblower who on earth the facebook data breach calls the two entities as c.l. and cambridge on the one in the say s c l used to be on the payroll of the british defense ministry thanks to a freedom of information request from twenty six d. we know that in two thousand and eleven the energy paid to s.c.l. for the provision of external training and in twenty fifteen it paid s.c.l. for psychosocial research to top it all off s.c.l.

got the green light to hold british government secrets on its premise britain's information stating cambridge analytic over the facebook data breach but in light of the defense contracts with its parent company as c l the chair of britain's home affairs select committee is now demanding a why did government investigation into the company's activities there are now growing concerns about whether there should be a wider investigation into the. there are concerns about the implications for democracy about information being used in an illegitimate way and no one has the chance to counteract it and the traces real problems outside of the u.k.'s c l's and cambridge analytic his client list reads like a who's who of contentious elections and political hot spots cambridge on the it was hired by kenya's ruling party ahead of its elections last year the company is accused of stoking ethnic tensions and manipulating voters online prejudices to

help kenya's leaders stay in power the company's also accused of orchestrating political sting operations on the. clients political rivals and circulating the evidence online among s.c.l. is clients was ukraine it was hired by the kiev government to help recapture the self-proclaimed republic of donetsk. contract to deliver a data driven strategy for the ukrainian government in pursuit of their goal to win back control of donetsk findings replied to designed localized communications campaigns to erode and weaken the jeannette's people's republic this particular campaign didn't bear much fruit for the ukrainian government the website reveals yet another time to the british government the ukraine report it says was delivered to kiev and shared with the u.k.'s ministry of defense i don't really believe the ministry of defense should be involved in a company one arm of which at least is engaged in

a series of campaigns around the world of propaganda and manipulation apparently and political interference secondly i don't really see why the ministry of defense is in any case spending huge amounts of money. on a propaganda work and finally the question of secrecy i mean apparently this company was given access to top secret information and this seems to me to be an extremely. worrying revelation it's likely that the next chapter in the cambridge analytical scandal won't be its links to facebook but to governments around the world including the u.k.'s. the british defense ministry has reacted to the story saying it has no current relationship with s.c.l. group the company has no access to classified information.

revealed who will take over his new security advisor the mud being appointed as former u.n. ambassador john bolton who's known for his strong stance on north korea and iran the appointment was made in typical trump style on twitter of course the us president also made use of the very same social media platform earlier in the month when he fired his secretary of state rex tillerson killam up and has a look now at the new arrival through washington's revolving door we're. he is the third national security advisor to the donald trump administration in the last fourteen months and john bolton is a long time advocate of the use of force against iran and against north korea now those are two countries that are rather vital for the trumpet ministration in the coming months in may donald trump will have to weigh in on the iran deal whether or not it will continue and furthermore the usa is on the verge of carrying out the

historic meeting the first meeting between a head of state of the usa and the leader of the democratic people's republic of korea so at this point a lot of questions remain so the fact that john bolton has been selected is rather interesting i think they want to make peace i think it's time so it could be a long and unproductive meeting where it could be a short and unproductive meeting we hope that these new measures directed at the arena of dictatorship will compel the government to reevaluate its pursuit of terror at the expense of its people well i think he's on the verge of making a mistake i think his advisors are pushing him in the wrong direction you know honestly of the certification question is utterly irrelevant john bolton served as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations under the administration of george w. bush and his appointment was quite controversial at that time for statements he had made harshly criticizing the united nations can trail donald trump was quite critical of military intervention isn't by the united states saying that he wanted

to stop toppling regimes however john bolton is a long time advocate for military interventions around the world so big developments on the horizon regarding iran and north korea plenty of reaction to the pick former u.s. diplomat jim just trysts he to list the appointment of john bolton could i get a fate the situation with tehran. lot of people mistakenly said that during the campaign trump said he would tear up the agreement because it was a very bad agreement he did exactly said that he said it was a very bad agreement but he likes to make bad agreements good i think he came in with the notion that if he was threatening and up we could get the europeans on board and pressure the russians and the chinese to say that we want to add missile technology and not threatening israel a lot of other things to the agreement to change the green meant to something he likes better maybe that's still their game plan maybe they think if they have somebody who is sufficiently bellicose they can scare the europeans into siding

with the americans on changing the agreement and not have to pull out of it but i have no doubt now that regime change is going to be a cardinal conscious goal of american policy and failing that there would be an attempt to do so by military means. protests are growing in the u.s. city of sacramento after the release of body video showing the moment u.s. police fatally shot an unarmed black man in his grandparents' backyard the incident happened last sunday when officers responded to a suspect breaking car window was in the area police say they missed took them a smartphone for a weapon and opened fire on him twenty times. nine one one what's ok some emergency . might. find it ok backyard. but if. i got

a guy at a backyard look at it when. i get up to try to catch up. and. let's get a normally thought him a couple times is that before we. let you guys want to go hands cover.

the victim is twenty two year old stefan clarke he was a father of two both his children are under the age of three his brother described him as an entrepreneur. well the overall picture is a bleak one more than eleven hundred people were killed in twenty seventeen alone by us police it was reported on throughout the whole year only fourteen days when with a fatal police incident in response sucker men to police place the officers involved in the fatal shooting on paid administrative leave while the cases are locals who are demanding justice demonstrations took place at city hall at the sacramento kings basketball arena a major highway was also blocked during rush hour the black lives matter movement is sculling the incident murder demanding answers we spoke to sonya lewis from the movement they don't take any value black life because we are collateral damage

we've always been when it comes to this history at the end of the day the motive has always been a lack of value for black life or black bodies and it's easy to shoot first ask questions later sort things out after the fact come up with near to the others that don't think what. actually was taken place during the time of the incident so when you come out with the story and say yes he had a good or at the in the next story where he had a tool bar or crow bar then the next story was he had a bridge to find out that he was shot with a cell phone in his hand we want to see those officers prosecuted for their decision to shoot their guns twenty shots we could no longer live with to be satisfied with officers being fired or given slap on the wrist for murdering people in our unit. debates over the history of the holocaust has reached a boiling point in poland the father of the current prime minister who is

a former politician himself sparked controversy with recent remarks do you know who chased the jews away to the warsaw ghetto do the germans you think know the jews themselves when because they were told they would be an enclave that they would not have to deal with those nasty poles the polish government was quick to distance itself from the comments but the interview was slammed in israel and by pools as well with many saying that such comments are offensive to the memory of those who died at the homes of the nazis. but the issue of the holocaust was again focused on in poland after a new law was adopt the very last month it made it illegal to accuse the nation of

complicity in the atrocity but of the use of the phrase polish death camp we spoke to professor israel charny from the institute for holocaust and genocide. i'm going to have the opportunity to make at least one pro polish position statement and that is that the concentration camps in poland i agree they should not be called polish concentration camps they were nazi concentration camps in poland but beyond that the insistence on the creation of the law there is it is illegal to discuss what the poles did in the holocaust is an insult to humanity the poles did. many things on both sides of the fence

all of the truth should be broader. factually. turning our attention to the middle east where tens of thousands of civilians have mother age to escape this syrian enclave of eastern guten near damascus this month that's after the russian defense ministries reconciliation center struck a deal with some of the militant groups in the area these are exclusive draw pictures from a ripley video agency you can see buses which are reportedly carrying militants who used to occupy eastern ghouta to gather with their families it's part of a deal which guarantees them safe passage in exchange for letting fellows of civilians outs of the war ravaged area on thursday around four hundred militants left as well as one and a half thousand civilians who are mostly members of their families some of already arrived in the rebel held city of idlib in northern syria. hidden links to child person or graffiti or detective in the technology but the trip to currencies like

bitcoin i'll bring you more in-depth analysis after this. lots of countries in europe to end the stand that russia has and take part of europe and you cannot think about a prosperous europe and developing europe but if you use your head to. see russia being involved in the european process. that russia is royce. has to be taken into confidence on a small. one else seemed wrong. but all the rules just don't hold. me if you get to shape out just a constant that's ok and in games from an equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. welcome back cyber security. warned its customers about a highly sophisticated piece of malware doing the runs that can steal your private data however by highlighting the threat the firm is now being accused of undermining u.s. anti terror operations. and identifying who is behind the malware but a media company called cyber claims it's part of a classified u.s. program targets potential terrorists by revealing it centrally burn the operation

the antivirus explained it aims to protect people against such malware and gave its own warning out by the malicious program falling into the wrong hands. we detect and remain eate all forms of malicious programs regardless of origin or purpose furthermore the company does not whitelist any malware samples not even malware used for so-called legal sort of billions one can easily imagine the situation in which such malware falls into the wrong hands and can be used to launch attacks against law enforcement we're just regular users the cyber espionage program is allegedly code named slingshots and it's able to send large amounts of dating images and passwords from infected computers using internet writers now the sophisticated were is thought to have been online for over a decade already targets of the mall where i have been discovered in africa in the middle east with over half the attacks believed to be on yemen island kenya generally and is targeted the computers of individuals but in some cases it may

have breach government institutions we spoke with a security expert about the dangers of the so-called sling shot program so after examining it for some time we can confidently say that it is intended as a cyber espionage because all it does is collect data from your computer what makes this malware so dangerous is that it's they don't do the radar for quite a long time we discovered it last year we can't use this model when the operators of this matter where we're using it pertaining data and remaining unnoticed because this model is so good balanced and uses many tricks to avoid detection. ok let's stay with their things cyber security for a little longer here this is the story i was talking about a little earlier german researchers have discovered that the technology behind crypto currency such as bitcoin contains hundreds of links to child pornography essentially threatening the legal existence of bitcoin itself the system known as

block chain is a decentralized record of transactions across many computers that cannot be altered . block chain you've probably heard the word but aren't entirely clear on what it is blocking technology is like a digital accounting used for digital currencies like bitcoin transactions are recorded in blocks that are linked together in a chain each block has what's known as a hash a unique code that's like a fingerprint a block also stores the hash of the preceding block in the chain one reason this technology is so secure is that if you tamper with a particular blog its hash will no longer match up with the one on the next block that block invalid find each blog containing some data typically this consists of transaction details sender receiver and the amount of crypto currency sent there can be some surprise data finds for example the big point log chain was found to contain the mandela photo coin logo and the tribute to cryptographer len sussman

but some of the surprises a nasty german research is uncovered that the bitcoin block chain contains hundreds of links to child pornography as well as an indecent image of someone who looked under age having a copy of the pick coin block chain will be illegal now that's a bit worrying as another aspect of the way blocking technology works is that everyone who uses it gets a copy of the entire block. so users could unwittingly the breaking the law of course the problem isn't peculiar to the bitcoin block. crypto currencies use the same technology and their users are just as vulnerable a time we're talking about you know the abuse of a child child prodigy that's you know that's a serious issue that people should take serious regardless of what it involves this is an issue that should be looked at and i hope investigated and whoever's responsible for it can be held accountable this is a serious case but it's not an end hair problem in the block chain itself even if

there is some sort of problem on the big chain where perhaps they could come up with measures to prevent. sort of thing from happening alternately the technology can be used in any number of different ways and i'm sure there's somebody out there already who's think you know of how to use the technology for the good that it provides but also to provide some sort of security measures that can prevent this kind of thing from happening. the b.b.c. is under fire for its alleged bias towards opposition leader jeremy corbyn if you were just playing the channel is deliberately trying to portray the u.k. labor party head as two russian picking up the story of us to see a target. take a look at this image that the b.b.c. used in one of its news programs causing quite a stir in the u.k. and generally generally has been on the right side of history for the last thirty five years or from the right side of history and libya on the right side of history on afghanistan the right side of history in relation to iraq so which is which side

of history the picture depicts the opposition party leader jeremy corbyn on red square wearing something that strongly resembles a russian hat and here is the original image suffice it to see twitter wasn't happy nice impartial backdrop the b.b.c. news perhaps could be split with a picture of pm clutching fistfuls of roubles and laughing. that backdrop is some absolutely shameful shameful stuff asking for international cooperation and strong evidence before we ramp up war rhetoric is russian collusion now is it shameful columnist for the guardian and corbin supporter owen jones pointed this out to the b.b.c. on air yesterday the background of your programme you have jeremy corbyn dressed up against the kremlin. no no no it's cool to make a party and i'm dressed up as a soviet state was it was a real picture and i mean cause if you even photoshop his hat to look over should this part of the debate was left out of the version posted online something that

also didn't go unnoticed the b.b.c. denied photoshopping the image of the labor party leader but then joe rome a top u.k. barrister himself a corbin critic threw his weight behind the claims of b.b.c. bias my conversation which was conducted entirely in writing took place with x x is an individual at the b.b.c. whose seniority and work is such that it could not sensibly be suggested that x. is not properly qualified to speak on such matters x. stopped explicitly and unambiguous fully about how criticisms of korban that the b.b.c. could not voice were deliberately coded into imagery or to approach the b.b.c. for comment but the broadcaster said it would not release a statement as it hadn't seen the evidence it did say though that the views of its program editors as expressed in their tweets did largely reflect the b.b.c.'s own mom says he can swear on the truth of his tweets adding that lying in his position would be a very big deal. the storm of controversy comes after corbin called on the government

to take a more measured approach to the school poll poisoning case it could be argued we only take these days to be branded a foreign agent and if there's going to artsy london. stocks have plunged and fears are growing over global trade war after beijing. plans for reciprocal tara some imports from the u.s. it comes in response to donald trump hitting china with trade penalties the american leaders signed an order on the new tariffs in the white house saying it was necessary to kuntar on further competition from beijing. well the move targets more than one hundred types of chinese goods ranging from clothing to electronics it's estimated to be worth up to sixty billion dollars over the past year trump's predictable approach to china left many scratching their heads. money.

we can't continue to allow china to rape our country. and you can have. very much you know there's going to be conflict but we have a very good relationship people say we have the best relationship of any president president we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen president she was enjoying it i view them as a friend i have tremendous respect for president she. they have a great relationship what trump is doing now and saying that he thinks trade wars are great and they're easy to win i think poses a real danger of. economic consequences this is going to raise the prices for a lot of goods to people for people here and the whole presentation by the trump administration that somehow china is raping the united states is just ludicrous it was china of course that suffered from really horrible the horrible effects of.

intervention in domination for trump presents is the answer whether it's anti immigrant or tariffs or trade war i really only going to do damage to the same people many of the same people who voted for trump and were deceived by his message. r.t. is set to launch a large scale digital project called the romanovs one hundred through thousands of personal photographs it tells the story of russia's last royal family there for century reign ended with the revolution in one thousand and seventeen a digital music of four thousand photos with a appearing across social media from the all of april date is important because it marks one hundred days before the centennial anniversary of their execution.

the far right. isn't just on the march it's taking violent mother's action i don't like need to read that you know you know i see these organizations which are all usually split into which we form different names how do you view the. complex web which are. twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest. but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the beach but
