it live out of a boat on your car there anymore it is really incredible yeah and then when you look at it wasn't just this sort of ambiguous because i know a lot of times with these reports we've talked about these studies where the number is like all this thing at risk and it's really not it's pretty ambiguous no no they went down to the tiniest portion of this and they didn't just qualify quantify just the idea of risk they showed that reports that ninety percent nine percent of u.s. college students found themselves homeless and the past year that's almost ten percent of college kids and six percent were first forced to go at least one whole day without food now if you're going to set or a got while you can go a day without food you do it you know goes through your whole day don't have any food then go to work. and then come home and get up and do it again and see how long that last the idea of the you have these are young adults their brains are growing this is where you're supposed to be learning and it's at its big parts because it's expensive you have a choice do i pay my tuition or do i eat or do i pay the book costs and write about
1:01 pm
my books or do a yeah i mean i didn't go to college i'll admit it here on television i didn't go to college and i love coming out of this era when out of the closet under greek laws under. five to the school hollywood the. man when you when you look at this is really jarring because when you consider the fact that colleges and not just harvard yale but even the more wallace ones as well are sitting on like tax exempt development were billions of dollars billions are look what we just saw happen at howard university here in d.c. where you have all of this money that ended up getting shuffled off to somewhere else you know that would do you street like street. tyrone. i mean would you would you see like you know the money is there it's in the system there is a lot of you know in these there's money from all those jets and i don't you stack the deck it gives because if they're already broke trying to get the better
1:02 pm
education to try to better their life but then they're going to get out of school then they've got the great student loan hanging over their heads they're not going to be able to survive if you already don't have the money you know no and that's the thing it's you know we have one of these two situations and i was one of those people who had to work and put myself through college and i was still a paying off those student loan debts from from my undergraduate degree you know you do have to make the choice you make the choice whether to have a social life you make the choice whether to you know how many hours can i work how much how much can i borrow or how much can i pay now so i don't have to how much money can i put away for after graduation and what i thought happening is that you know a lot of people foregoing a decent meal for. you were going a social life or going the actions about college that sort of help you go learn how to enter and say you know the adult world and bags you know going to do what you don't get to be a regular person and have a life because you're worried about whether you're going to end up having to sleep

henry kissinger once said the brush on the united states went into the ukrainian crisis acting rationally based on mutual misconceptions with tensions heightened over the scruple case all the sides guided by misconceptions or didn't get rid misrepresentations. of the fight for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside gods. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch put a funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money just kill you narrowness and spending to twenty million fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else on earth because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy like great so what more chance with
1:06 pm
. a mix it's minute. it was announced the first book c.e.o. of silicon valley rock star mark zuckerberg himself will stand tall before congress on april eleventh her answer for the facebook cambridge analytic a data mining controversy but there's always more than meets the eye when the corporate worlds of big data social media and governments collide sean stone recently discussed these matters and more with journalist and author lefties are mad here is part two of their fascinating discussion. then towards this end of the obviously collecting information and ultimately creating sort of you can create essentially create false narratives you can create false dichotomies and antagonism
1:07 pm
as you pointed out we have this whole issue of cambridge analytic on whether or not it through you know the election towards trumpet with with a letter because it's strange because we're basically there there's the this discourse it's sort of attacking the idea of data mining as a whole which is just the nature of business and how businesses are going to target people whether you're running for politics or trying to sell a product right you're still trying to sell some things you need to know the consumer what they want but on the morning farias side they do they've done tactics or allegedly that they've done tactics like bribery and blackmail of politicians and others that sounds very menacing of cia tactics. well absolutely i mean the cambridge analytical what's interesting is we did a big investigation into facebook and cambridge analytical december two thousand and seventeen we published quite a long piece on our platform in search and we brought together a lot of things that are only now being caught up in kind of the mainstream press
1:08 pm
so for example the fact that came with analytic a former major ministry of defense contractor that used to have list x. classification which means they had access to high level security so that a high level security clearance that gave them access to classified information i mean we had reported this back then and only now we've got the b.b.c. asking these questions but what these kind of issues show is that came with analytic and it's mek it's methods of the century trying to profile. population behaviors using online technologies and other types of technology building them into a predictable model these are techniques that were developed in the bowels of the military industrial complex in the u.k. specifically and they were also passed on to the united states and they've been fine tuned in that context and our investigation showed and again people have been asking questions now these techniques were used in iraq and afghanistan for example
1:09 pm
they had contracted out to private contractors some of these techniques so now they're being used in weaponized against our own populations in the united states and britain and it's very alarming and what we're seeing here is that these sorts of techniques and so on the one hand of course there's this question of law and finally now questions are being asked on both sides of the atlantic as to what extent when you use these sorts of tools do they really violate our election laws in terms of manipulating public opinion but the other thing of course is that these techniques are being used on a day to day basis by lots of different parties all. time business is governments. any kind of any kind of entity that essentially wants to reach an audience is are using platforms like facebook to kind of to reach different publics and to try and influence opinion and so we're always being subjected to this form of
1:10 pm
influence in some way except cambridge analytic of course had really fine tuned their techniques and now only now we know they actually did that on the basis of essentially. kind of illegally taking vast amounts of private data which they shouldn't have been able to do. and that of course is quite extraordinary but the question isn't really being asked i mean to day the narrative we've had is that these have some sort of nefarious connection to russia for example and there are legitimate questions to ask about cambridge analytical relationship to russia however the fact that came as analytical has been borne from the establishment in britain has only really been coming to the surface from recent reporting and it's something that really needs to be looked at much more closely and we're now starting to see evidence that we were reporting last year being discussed in the
1:11 pm
mainstream press about cambridge analytical connections to the conservative party. from front to the extent to which you know they had really establishment connections not just obscure military connections but connections across the party and huge and clear connections to people who gave very large amounts of funding to the conservative party over several years one of the connections that hasn't been looked at to date is a connection that we reported on related to. the hanssen asset management so one of the founding directors of s.c.l. election which is the u.k. incorporation of cambridge analytical is a guy called christian to road christian patrick to. who was a director and is a director now he was a director with s.c. election year and he's currently director with hanson asset management which is a. that was the excess of the hansen p o c which was set up by lord james hansen the well known industrialist who has huge connections to tobacco to big coal in the
1:12 pm
united states and so on and so forth what it was a major donor to the conservative party and also had very close connections to the vote leave campaign in the u.k. people who worked for hanson at the time went on like dominic cummings went on to run vote leave so we have all these sorts of very very direct connections to very powerful figures in the establishment and questions aren't being asked about why those establishment figures wanted to use an n.c. like him which analytical in order to manipulate public opinion this really raises the question with this massive shift to the far right that we've seen in mainstream politics in the united states and in europe wasn't really just this accident wasn't really just this thing the angry people being angry about the migrants that they were actually very powerful elites in the united states and britain people who outside the deep state the people who represented sections of the deep state who
1:13 pm
wanted this to happen they wanted to see this big shift to the far right and that is a very very alarming scenario. and the phase that's all time we have today but certainly your analysis reminds me of jeremy bentham zz assessment of creating a pent up to con this idea of basically completely all seeing eye that watching us move more sultan into been there orwell's big brother in a sense and potentially fairly potentially all this information their money from us could ultimately be serving towards some kind of artificial intelligence supercomputers but i think at this point we'll have to leave it for today and hopefully take up the conversation of the future date. when you think back to your grade school lessons about dr king you likely recall his most widely cited speeches for example i have a dream or i've been to the mountaintop there's a reason each of these works are important to teach to our youth and there's
1:14 pm
certainly a reason those words have stood the test of time but while it's necessary to remember king's message of racial justice and equality there's a deeper more revolutionary king we rarely hear about m.l.k. was not concerned only with race he saw class struggle in economic equality as central to the cause of civil rights in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven report to the southern christian leadership conference he declared quote we must recognize that we can't solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power this means a revolution of values and other things we must see now that the evils of racism economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together you can't really get rid of one without getting rid of the others the whole structure of american life must be changed america is a hypocritical nation and we must put our own house in order. king recognized justice would never truly be achieved in the united states without addressing
1:15 pm
economics in one nine hundred sixty five address to the negro american labor council he announced quote something is wrong with happiness and according to tang that system which is responsible for economic hardship and war and one of his lesser known speeches king denounced the u.s. war in southeast asia making it very clear what he believed plagued american society most i am. the three giant triplets of racism materialism and militaries and these were the evils king sought to defeat in his book where do we go from here chaos or community being targeted the military industrial complex declaring quote a nation that can take. to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual do these views are consistent with what may be described as the heart of kings glossy we may have all come on different ships but we're in the same boat now when he was assassinated king was planning
1:16 pm
a march to take place here on the nation's capital dubbed support people's campaign its purpose was to unite americans behind the message of economic justice and the eradication of poverty regardless of race fifty years since his assassination the street giant triplets of recent materialism and militarism he warned us of our standing as tall as ever in this country and for that reason so should the radical message of dr king. five decades after a smarter on april fourth one nine hundred sixty eight martin luther king jr and his legacy continue to propel us forward to never slow down and most importantly to always remember that the greatest troublemakers and the most prolific peacemakers are most often one in the same and martin luther king jr is a legacy taught us to always keep our eyes open and to never assume the fight is over since one thousand nine hundred sixty eight and king's work that helped
1:17 pm
destroy jim crow laws the civil rights movement has done much to level the playing field of life for african-americans but what's particularly disturbing is how far we truly sit from a place of racial equality and the proof is in the numbers according to the bureau of labor statistics since one nine hundred sixty eight rates of unemployment were twice as high for african-americans meaning being poor and whites is twice as lucrative as being poor and black studies have revealed a job applicants with surnames that are perceived as black are fifty percent less likely to get a positive response than white sounding surnames but this is america right anyone regardless of race should be able to grow rich if they just try hard right or wrong the. urban institute come data from a survey of consumer finances and found that the average wealth of white families was over seven hundred thousand dollars higher than the average wealth of black families shortly before his assassination in one nine hundred sixty eight martin luther was in the midst of organizing the poor people's campaign which hope to
1:18 pm
march on washington d.c. to demand a standard living wage poverty programs and housing for the nation's poor the passion for helping less fortunate does not weigh in in the moments after king's death in fact poverty rates for african-americans have been declining steadily for the last decade however african-americans are still nearly twice as likely than whites to live in areas below the poverty line and this stems in part from the act of residential segregation can never has with higher medium poverty rates meaning over thirty percent black children remain about sixty percent more likely to live in those neighborhoods than white children but on a positive note it seems that the work of desegregation in the fight to improve public education has had some gains since the march in selma since nine hundred sixty eight the gap in completion rates in american high schools between white and black students has almost been closed and that brings us to tomorrow what will be done tomorrow and the next day and the next week to improve the lives of our neighbors our fellow human beings at
1:19 pm
a martin luther king jr said it best there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular but he must take it because conscience tells them it's right. powerful man powerful words of the truly amazing legacy that we have to honor and remember each year whether it's the fiftieth anniversary of the fifty first or the you know sixty seven or seventy fifth we have to always remember the work of dr martin luther king jr and carry on his work for him with a great great piece of what was it was good stuff all right everybody that i'm afraid is our show for you today remember because this is the world you're. told the real busted up so it's all your wall i love you a little bit and on top of a lot of people watchers walks over the bridge.

right now russia calls for a u.n. security council meeting over the latest developments in the script investigation this is the british lab the test of the. able to identify the source. in the wake of british foreign secretary boris johnson is being called to account for his insistence that russia carried out the poisoning. the new facebook admits the tens
1:23 pm
of millions more people could be affected by the data harvesting scandal than initially thought the data research company that used the information disputes the numbers. plus the u.s. state of michigan approved plans by the food giant nestlé to extract more water despite widespread local opposition. headline news twenty four seven this is the international from moscow it's now three pm here in the russian capital first this hour russia has called for a u.n. security council meeting later on this thursday moscow wants to discuss the latest developments over the poisoning of former spice and his daughter in the u.k. earlier this week a british military to borrow a tree admitted that it could not identify the source of the nerve agent that was used where the government consistently claims there's a direct link to russia when i guess you have takes up the story. it's
1:24 pm
a right old kid on drugs on the one hand you skip the trial screamed guilty and jump to the punishment part on the other your own guys come out and say hold on there's no evidence and i was his by were living experts at the defense science and technology laborde to read at porton down made clear that this was a military grade novacek nerve agent produced in russia we have not verified the precise source you have not been able to establish that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide you know the scientific evidence that identifies what the particular nerve agent is but typically you're not able at porton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that well that's embarrassing alright keep calm first google back on your word and just to be sure delete any old tweets then riposte experts who say the opposite of what you
1:25 pm
said our experts have precisely identified in their region as nobby chuck it is not and has never been our responsibility to confirm the source of the agent now pretend that nothing happened which is hard to do in the into that really the brits ended up having to explain themselves and conveniently scapegoated the poor fellow who transcribed the briefing one of the tweets was truncated and did not accurately report her master's words we removed this tweet you remember what i said about scapegoating he really did but barge johnson himself had said almost the same thing said it's on video you argue that their source of is russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly when i look at the the evidence i mean the people from from porton dogs. they were absolutely categorical
1:26 pm
and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt wouldn't want to be in their shoes right about now yet they did find a way around it a simple statement saying that boris johnson didn't mean it like that what the foreign secretary said then and what putin donna said recently is fully consistent with what we've said throughout having taken things so far so far they can't afford to do a u. turn this investigation could end in two ways with proof of russia's guilt or with an uncomfortable silence and hope that everyone forgets until then boris keep doing what you do every day you're going to walk the finger of blame on. russian production. is that. russia.
1:27 pm
is not isolated case. of reckless behavior by the russian state the russians the russians the russian russia russia russia russia i'm afraid the evidence is overwhelming that it is russia under some serious questions to accept the claim from german television that this was a russian booster nerve agent porton down then examine it and said although that was not true they couldn't say where it came from. there's also been a tirade of criticism on twitter from britain's opposition labor party over boris johnson's assurances that russia was behind the poisoning one commented on boris johnson's notorious german t.v. interview asking if he wanted to delete that other stress the need to check evidence while labor m.p. chris williamson called johnson downright dangerous and says the incidents being used as a diversionary tactic. it seems to me that the government were indulging in political
1:28 pm
point scoring particularly boris johnson who raced ahead of the evidence and used this terrible incident not so much as a smoking gun but more of a smokescreen really it was a very convenient wasn't for the government to use this as a way to get attention from their own difficulties over economic policy and you know at the end of the day it's pretty clear that boris johnson did not tell the truth he told the german incipit. scientists and it said it was without doubt the agents come from russia so i think germany was absolutely wrong to. caution to ask for clear evidence before we start to raise international tensions but we need to get to the bottom in the evidence and jeremy said this seems to point towards russia but let's be absolutely clear before we start raising international tensions in this way this is huge implications for more sensible to take a measured approach and be clear about the evidence and all the evidence. on this
1:29 pm
to see a check and has more now on the growing anger towards the u.k. foreign secretary burns have certainly been unraveling rather curiously ever since those latest revelations from porton down that said they don't have proof that russia was behind the poisoning or they don't know the source of where the nerve agents had come from just to give you one example we've seen the times newspaper come out on april fourth with a headline that read mein struggles to preserve alliance against russia now obviously that is a headline that questioned some of the very vigorous narrative that the british government has been pushing through not just here in the u.k. but certainly throughout europe but that headline did not stick around or wait too long it was shortly replaced with a headline the exact same article that read johnson under fire after foreign office deletes porton down this week that we have just been talking about. and certainly
1:30 pm
that changes the story of course the pressure back on boris johnson and no longer questioning whether or not possibly britain has been moving slightly so quickly in this whole case and one question that arises there is whether it's mind of possibly falling under pressure from some of the ministers from their own british colleagues here in london because it's not like i'm fully going to cross into that we go live to west london now russia's ambassador to the u.k. is giving a media rethink so that's nice and all over the. corporation a warrior so good relation with britain on this group are the keys so basically two points and then the questions and answers so the first one is the yesterday the. emergency session you know that so i don't push through that most of you know this we called emergency session all the musician for provision of the chemical weapons so the c w.
