trump the hacking the accusation of hacking involvement in dirty tricks and so on those situations got worse and worse and the diplomatic temperature dropped and now it's below freezing so therefore the situation in america is comparable to the situation in britain now where they're basically is no diplomatic relations with russia. people have called this one commentator said this was ectasia war not as a collision of war a declaration of diplomatic war and what trump is trying to do is support. margaret and mrs bay to resupply and obliging most of the native states if you look at both garia greece slovak and hungary have not joined the others in expelling russian diplomats so that say is that russia still has friends even though there being no e.u. members even though there's been no concrete evidence put forward by britain are

you surprised at the amount of support the tories are made as mates to garner here in europe and in the state. it's a great diplomatic effect refer her. and if you like she has shown herself to be a leader and able to get support because to start with bridgeton missouri president mccraw of france said where's the evidence and then he changed his mind and i grammatical she was very cool because germany didn't want to exacerbate relations russia she says i saw the intelligence so therefore perhaps there are some leaders. who have seen the intelligence and say right because the british government is not willing to publish or make make public the evidence they have they would just say we strongly believe this. and then not go any further than that

you know i mean america was willing to accept that the evidence the pressure intelligence evidence marcel you were presented with while you're on the line literally twenty seconds for this we don't know what russia's going to do back as a retaliation to this they say they will be something what to expect as quickly as you can. they will expel a hundred diplomats because that's proof or will automatically you do that and then they'll have to work towards others props consulates and things like that but they'll keep it at a diplomatic level at present because in those days was talk to maybe economics vegans the maybe other sayings of later and russia will wait for that but at present the action will be diplomatic or for russia as martin mccauley thanks to live on the program tonight. thank you. facebook's mark zuckerberg took a series of newspaper ads in the u.s. and britain on sunday apologizing for his failure to protect users data he says the company will now do its best to ensure it doesn't happen again

a poll conducted for reuters meantime in the us last week suggest that facebook is the least trusted major american tech company now only forty one percent of respondents said that they had faith in that social network following the recent scandal several i.t. specialist claim that facebook doesn't only store data which uses of posted on its websites or ups it also gathers contact lists call logs and even text messages some suspect the data's been collected for years is what internet law expert year cohen told us about the scandal now. trey's book is clearly in the wrong here because what facebook has done is it is given access to a third party to a vast amount of data or facebook uses we doubt those users consent and permission whilst apologizing for the breach of date. mr zuckerberg also made a lot of. the attention into political issues so what dream really.

was saying we'll follow gys for allowing facebook data to be used. for the purpose of manipulating political campaigning now this is not really the issue what he really needs to apologize is not for. taking. the looking steps that could possibly put the election what it leads to what a chance for breach of the stock any isn't done but getting the story we can exhibit to julius sounds many times and i've spoken critic of facebook he tweeted a simple guide to check if your personal data has been collected by the site the son found himself on the wrong side of the lore after leaking secret u.s. government documents course and the jackal virgo reports next there's pressure from some quarters for so to be treated in a similar way the theft of the personal data of around fifty million facebook members came in the shock to many but not for wiki leaks founder julian assange who

pointed out on twitter that if you're not paying for a product you are the product of sound has never had an account on facebook and calls the platform a giant intelligence database something that he also told us back in an interview in two thousand and eleven facebook in particular. is the most appalling spying machine that has ever been invented here we have the world's most comprehensive database about people their relationships the names addresses all sitting within the united states. excess u.s. intelligence and the sons hasn't missed the irony involved when it comes to the treatment he's received for publishing information on wiki leaks versus the virtual hero worship mark zuckerberg has enjoyed over the years now to be fair zucker berg was crowned the person of the year back in two thousand and ten long before it came out that he effectively sold user information to third parties but the comparison isn't without merit zuckerberg has been hailed as a visionary leader taking us into the modern world with rumors even circulating

that he could be a challenger to donald trump in two thousand and twenty and yet his company has been caught time and again serving up users' personal information despite sucker berg's promises to take privacy seriously you know in most other services the privacy is an important thing but on facebook privacy is central i mean we take our role really seriously i think it's my job and our job to protect everyone who uses facebook and all the information that they share with us but actions speak louder than words right back in two thousand and eleven the platform settled with the federal trade commission over charges that third party apps were able to access nearly all of the users' personal data unbeknownst to them and facebook promised to fix the problem sound familiar just a couple of years later a bug was found on the site that exposed the email addresses and phone numbers of six million facebook users and as a part of a legal battle running since two thousand and fifteen belgian courts order the social media giant in february of this year to stop collecting the private information of belgian users on third party sites

a decision that facebook is not accepting and continues to appeal and that brings us to today and to this rather amusing me julian assange has been living in the london embassy for over five years has had his life threatened by politicians and has been called a traitor for his work as a whistleblower and while it's like a bird may not exactly be sitting pretty at the moment what with the hit his company stocks have taken and the requests from both the u.s. and the u.k. to testify on the situation i highly doubt the guy will be facing life threatening consequences if any at all but only time will tell. i'm kevin zero in and they're the main news stories from russia this monday night the twenty sixth of march thanks for watching r.t. international.

hello and welcome to cross talk more all things are considered i'm peter lavelle with the appointment of john bolton is the new national security advisor to should we expect more stupid wars of choice since he wants success but everything associated with bolton's name is a failure the war party is again in charge. crosstalk in the war party i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have a he's a political analyst as well as a leading expert at the center for actual politics and of course we have dmitri bobbitt she is a political analyst with spook international right gentlemen as always crosstalk

rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it john bolton two words that i never thought would be associated with a position of power again considering his legacy victor your reaction to this news as it ripples through the foreign policy establishment and what we call international diplomacy five years ago everybody would be shocked if they were told that john bolton would get the respectable position in the government again that he was a fox news analyst commentator and that actually played a significant role in his new higher. life to acquire those people that say nice things. above him on fox news or of some other networks and at the same time in both bolton has it and trump are at odds on almost everything possible if you look at policy well it's certainly they're at odds with what trump in the kid he wanted his foreign policy to be when he was running his campaign now when he

spoke against regime change against nation building against democracy promotion. but the trouble that we've seen in office we've seen an increasing tilt not only towards war hawks as as evidenced by the cabal of generals running the government but now right into the the laps of the neo cons and this this is a neo con regime right now with pompei of the volcano and secretary of state bloody geno geno has both of them even supposedly in the cia because of her role hands on any of the torture of detainees they call her bloody gina and now the walrus is back john bolton the circle is look we were a neocon regime they could only mean they're going to be a little more specific. but ultimately isn't it neal conan and it what makes him more interesting more terrifying is that he doesn't care about democracy he doesn't care about human rights he doesn't say he doesn't use all of the packaging for

military adventures ok he believes he doesn't want to make america great again he believes in the military that's his it and he's very straightforward about it that's what makes him slightly different than his cohort go ahead oh well i just loved his cold. all international waltz into this to constrain american paul and of course he was the you have already presented the united states of the united nations i mean if anyone could explain to me the difference between no conservatives and the neo liberals i mean doesn't make any difference for a person in afghanistan or iraq or if he's killed by a missile that. someone could just believes in american. all it came from hillary clinton who believes in american power to service all of universal libral well yes ok if you defrost neo liberals in economic policy it has nothing to do with foreign policy ok well believe me this is specifically i mean we have trump

making an overture to meeting the north korean leader bolton is going to advise him against that and i mean is this could be the first test but i think when we started talking about this meeting proposed meeting between term. and. german we said one of the things we said was that the meeting may not even take place it may be a rhetorical exercise. for various political purposes and when we talk about bolton tampa well the were on the scene wavelength and with least one issue in that's the issue of dealing with iran and bolton and. have been very aggressive because syria and iran openly advocated attacks on iran military aggression against iran months ago he said it wouldn't be it would not be illegal under international law restrike against north korea in fact what separated tillerson macmaster from the rest of. the military and security team was that tillerson have

to actually believed that getting the u.s. he knew and he left it all with it all from the nuclear deal with iran would hear it to the american diplomacy in the long run because who would trust american diplomacy if when your communication could just reach that signature in then the very possibility and any kind of deal with north korea is off the table because if you make an agreement and you break it you break exactly you're not going to yes your world is going to be trusted here mark. trump is never i mean from what we've seen of him during the campaign and his presidency he never allow us anyone to outshine him is bolton's ego too big to fit into this position does he want to be a kiss. brzezinski well certainly he does have an ego. but i think we actually present more of his ego he presents a larger than life figure for us then he does he knows his place he is a bureaucrat he doesn't know his place he knows when to kiss who's but in order to

get to literally speed and he's very has a history of night on agree that he's not a neo con i don't think that the neo cons have ever believed in democracy or promotion that was simply. they you. know what that's why i don't call them in the oh come because the neo cons have their propaganda spin he doesn't have any pretense of that i think. he supposedly promised dropped by the c.n.n. is reporting. that he wouldn't start any new. obama's already got nine of them go into the bombing nine countries at least so i mean trump already inherited that but i find that extremely hard because of that and amazing i don't you i don't see the public i don't start a war of you know really upset george bush saying in a he's no in you know texas he's obviously through his career he has contempt for diplomacy and i've been saying this all along it's part of the genetic code of foreign policy right now is that you just needed to ministry you don't need to have a diplomat and the kind of options that bolton is going to be giving trump.

i have to believe it's going to be a reflection of his entire outlook on the world and it's a what would i think political call him you know he's a hammer in search of nails absolutely well are just picture this situation. room the negotiating room of donald trump and kim jong un and he says to kim i'm the person who just suggested killing your your but don't pay attention to that but i want to have a nice conversation here but you know the problem is whatever you call it liberal interventionism you know conservatism the bad thing about this ideology is that it doesn't value in any way the lives of the people who don't agree with it you know just recently at this. mosque has killed at marketplace thirty seven people you know the cush cool off.
