u.n. security council fails to agree on how to investigate a chemical attack in syria. and the conflict. in such cases wrong. with the u.s. threatening military action against. any investigation mission by the international watchdog only set to arrive in syria. also. turns out though. support in the past meanwhile the social media faces a. few this week. i'm

being. a live from moscow for the latest global news headlines. a war of words has broken out over the war in syria three resolutions over the latest alleged chemical attack in the country was shot down in the u.n. security council. clearly explain to me what this alleged chemical attack was necessary for damascus especially for almost all militants were targeted because today they vetoed for the sixth time a resolution condemning aside for chemical weapons attacks on his own people the room only you have a radio point to guilt in such cases bush in the wrong. way we are not able to

support the text it would be like watching a fire and identifying the fire and doing nothing to put it out fortunately our merican partners and colleagues the real investigation. tensions reached breaking point following claims by the controversial white helmets group of a chemical weapons attack on the town of duma russian experts have been to the area and found nothing to show any strike has taken place in moscow to cry foul its called for international investigators to immediately visit the area but washington's calling for immediate action we are meeting with our military and everybody else. making some major decision. given that. we'll be learning you know pretty soon now the u.s. is reportedly deploying an aircraft carrier group to the middle east and europe replacing another already there raising the alarm the e.u.

their safety body issued alert saying all flights around the mediterranean in the next seventy two hours should exercise caution stating that a potential strike against the mask would be ungrounded russia put forward a resolution that would require experts from the chemical weapons watchdog to carry out on site investigations of all supposed incidents that's contrary to washington's proposal russia also rejects the notion they should be tossed with attributing blame. your gut says the sure you would never know us delegations if they made one more step towards confrontation as a pro draft the vote doesn't have the full support of the u.n. security council members this text is nothing more than an attempt to renew the joint investigative mechanism in syria which investigated a previous chemical attack jim became a puppet in the hands of forces and was disgraced as a judge the sovereign state spies of a lack of credible proof. of the obvious tension between the russian and american

envoys before the meeting they still exchanged a friendly hug and kiss and they also talked for a while the silly in the benazir seemingly unwilling to let nikki haley goes you can see their chat. with the head shape. let's hope they'll be some clarity on the situation later this week what a fact finding mission arrives in syria that's according to the un's chemical watchdog until now the u.s. is not even sure which chemical agent could have been used now we do know that some sort of a substance was used a chemical was use we're just not sure at this point today exactly what was what used this has nothing to do with the alleged use of chemical weapons this has everything to do with a geo political agenda that wants to put the iranians in a box wants to confront the russians and syria that is really upset over the thought that the effort that's been going on for seven years by western powers that

are local friends like like saudi arabia has failed and that the assad government will remain in power they've been seeking a pretext to try to change that so this really has nothing to do with the truth or falsehood of the allegations about duma and the french president has also been calling for a tough response on syria following the reported chemical incident it's not a view shared by all politicians in france the. everyone knows perfectly that in war time the first victim is truth what happens on the ground is almost unknown to us the chemical attack which evidently took place is abominable we must condemn it but we still have to find out who committed it so it sounds a lot like an excuse for the united states of america and their allies to get back in the game and to engage in an armed conflict i think that currently france is contributing to the creation of the we creation of a certain form of the cold war with russia and it's pointless because it doesn't benefit france or its economy or international relations to let the u.s.

seeking to stir up a conflict with russia to surround ziering tuesday's security council meeting the us ambassador nikki haley proclaimed russia's hands are covered in the blood of syrian children and added that shaming russia with pictures of those kids hasn't worked to try and go takes a look at the pictures of children the u.s. envoy chose not to show to shame the russians all the u.s. officials think they have to do is say one word kids russian regime whose hands are all covered in the blood of syrian children are not being streamed are pictures of a descriptor. for you see mrs haley said it out loud they're used to telling the world about kids russia's friends killed with the latest chemical attack call like always the american media were there to spread the word these images are so disturbing the children the families in such distress what you

see around them out of the phone that's a sign of a chemical attack hundred thick images of syrian children fighting for us accusing russian and syrian president assad ruined children's lives thousands of graves that weren't meant to be dug so early stories from war ravaged parts of the middle east will make you cry and all of them must be told but i can't help asking why for u.s. officials or journalists these agonizing stories from mosul iraq or rocca in syria don't exist. no on some channels you'll never see their stories maybe because there are scars or how america's top military man puts it a fact of life civilian casualties are

a fact of life civilians will get caught in the crossfire civilians will get hurt civilians will get killed if you want to liberate your towns and cities it comes at a price the responsibility for civilian casualties in iraq and syria lies with isis that is on them not on us we are the good guys and munitions people on a battlefield know the difference kids lives in another arab country yemen have turned into a disaster that's a fact so say humanitarian groups and it is a fact of life in a sense that washington is pretty much at hand when saudi arabia is bombing civilly . across the border the saudis have spent billions on what sam has to offer and donald trump loves selling guns to riyadh in terms of dollars very very you know of five hundred thirty three million dollars five hundred twenty five

million dollars for you. besides in case someone forgot the americans themselves have for years been taken away innocent lives in afghanistan must have when the explosions happened i was with my uncle and cousins american soldiers opened fire and a bullet flew by my face when you heard you say this is my younger brother. he was killed by u.s. troops this is my brother shot of fats. and this is my father's it grew he was killed as well i want the government to avenge my father and kill his killers immersing reasoner who three arms are all covered in the blood of theory and. not be esteemed by pictures of its victims return for a million franco in moscow. the man who led his own country into a war under questionable circumstances tony blair has weighed in over syria it seems he still believes military interventions are

a good idea this would be action in support of of military intervention by the the us if you don't respond to this too to the use of chemical weapons against civilians then obviously you know we're ignoring what the international community has said which is that this is unacceptable than those that use such measures methods should be held to account i gave the order for british forces to take part in military action in iraq this threat is real growing and of an entirely different nature to any conventional threat to our security that britain has faced before. the program in the form that we thought it was did not exist in the way that we thought so i could apologize for that i could also apologized by the way for some of the mistakes in planning and certainly our mistake in in our understanding of what would happen once you remove the regime. for all of this i

express more. sorrow regret. and apology that you may never know or can believe just to remind you the iraq inquiry known as the chilcote report was published back in twenty sixteen and uncovered mistakes in the u.k.'s six year long campaign in iraq revealed there was no imminent threat to the u.k. from saddam hussein but also highlighted that blair's certainty iraq was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction including chemical and biological agents was unjustified. other so-called russian bots seem to be behind many news headlines in america lately and the media is increasingly branding any opinion it doesn't like russian despite the organization which monitors internet activity dismissing multiple claims of blocked activity. picks up the story. everyone seems to love

a good russian story shadowy russian troll farm used a number of fake accounts russian bots attempted to use this tragedy to russia when bots are hyping terms like russian linked trolls are at it again trying to sow discord in america votes are apparently to blame for trending hashtags or pro-gun campaigns after a shooting look a little closer when you find this site one source in particular for all that bought information how ten sixty eight. the snag is hamilton sixty eight doesn't specialize in tracking quote russian balls it's a recent shaken say that monotheism around six hundred accounts they simply believe may be linked to russian operations regardless of what even means we don't track bunts we've tried to make this point clear in all our published reporting yet most

of the third party reporting on the dashboard continues to appear with some variation of the headline russian bots are pushing x. this is inherently inaccurate said the mole hamilton sixty eight admits they suppose it russian into counts on seoul even based where people might seem they are not all in russia we don't even think they're all commanded in russia at all we think some of them are legitimately passionate people that are just really into promoting russia one news outlet with that red faced retracted its russian claims and was forced to clarify what kind of accounts the group actually tracks that most media simply ignores the facts and runs with that conspiracy theory but who can blame the mainstream media off to rule russian bolt sounds so much more menacing then the account of just quote someone who really likes russia it's the worst journalism it's criminal journalism there is such a thing the journalist to. this dashboard is an aha there's

a twenty eight hundred per cent increase in and i paraphrase laura ingram references based upon bots m.a.d. atlee upon which the dashboard company said no this merely did tax changes in reference or in reference to the particular name and that can be misleading you could have a six thousand percent increase and have four tweets or five tweets from nothing that's number one and number two it said there's no way to determine if these are russian bought which is the absence the gravamen of the story facebook's boss is grilled by the senate over election meddling and data breaches we'll have the full story in a few moments. but

politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want to be preached. to the right to be close it's like the flag tree in the morning and people that i'm interested always in the waters of.

the program us social media sensations diamond and so say facebook still hasn't inform them why it suddenly restricts the viral pro trump hates. yeah. that's the media forcing your idea that we thought people would. want to think about this here. and i see these two on talent. i say they are the greatest.

became a web sensation for their comments on the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election it's not the first time though they've been blocked online you tube d monetized almost all their content a year ago yourself facebook commented on the issue we have communicated directly with diamond and filk about this issue the message they received last week was inaccurate and not reflective of the way we communicate with our community and the people who run pages on our platform we have provided them with information about our policies and the tools that the ripley people to their page look forward to the opportunity to speak with them all the claim a social media giant cut their notifications to the millions of subscribers without explanation the company claimed the content was unsafe before clarifying it was because of inappropriate behavior we spoke to use facebook of discrimination. i didn't understand it and when he said that our cottage and our right hand is unsafe

to the community our grain is that i'm going to still die i mean the circus to black chicks that's down with politics right now only of that we are conservative we love our country we love our president affair so when i said i was offended by it we was apart by it we look at this has been certain issues of discrimination defamation of character and even a byelection of our civil rights being too black women as if we are some type of animal or limbs or somebody just out there just get out and say that is appalling to me your face book is going to have the answer to that why what was the reason because we don't know that's right and we can appeal that they said that we could not appeal it and this was final but it's because of a very huge entity ok that is an entity that people from around the world join facebook so we don't want to get into this here our our our our lane where you have one person dictating what people can see and what people can hear on this platform

when a star has millions our round the world not just in the united states but millions around the world because that's where it gets dangerous that's right do not die for our silence people's free speech that's where i stand is that you've got to be balanced and we know that they want to say that they are private entity but you are open to the public that are you are open to the public you cannot discriminate. five hours of friendly chat that's what facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg face that he answered questions from the very senators who previously donated money to a committee a program on personal data misuse the alleged russian toys to the u.s. presidential election were these people eighty seven million people users concentrated in certain states are you able to figure out where they're from do you think we need consistent privacy protections for consumers across the entire

internet ecosystem have you heard of total information awareness you know i'm talking about you know i do not ok this is not what is facebook doing to prevent foreign actors from interfering in u.s. elections as we discussed in my office yesterday the line between legitimate political discourse and hate speech can sometimes be hard to identify and can you discuss what steps that facebook currently takes when making these evaluations would you be comfortable sharing with us the name of the hotel you stayed in last night. no. i think you're genuine i god since conversing with you you want to do the right thing you want to enact reforms. it was a move designed to eliminate discrimination in the u.k. but it seems it's having the opposite effect job out of it switch state only

minority groups can apply and they were tutor looks at the story. positive discrimination is not a new concept but once again it's sowing discord this time the body preserving the english heritage is at the center of the dispute our inheritance our legacy. to stick to macleod. laid out. a law that has stirred up the question of how acceptable it is to replace an entire internship speaking with one of the targets minority groups so there are thirteen saw to all the placements all along but only to that across the u.k. a graduate training scheme can be hard to find so there's been a particular to it's a backlash over the offer only to black asian or other minority groups i would love to have applied for this have you got any more heritage training

placements available for those who are not an ethnic minority i'm a minority immigrant and i still believe this is racist whoever decided on this should be investigated and fired understand that these opportunities are aimed at being me community and the reasons why however paid entry level placements in heritage sector and a gold dust. some are even going as far as to cancel their membership of the organization historic england introduce the scheme as the government toss them with improving the ethnic makeup of their workforce but some might question whether or not they should be the cost of not i think graduates having a stab at climbing up that career ladder too for example they could have split the number of placements offered a set number possibly to ethnic minorities only and opened up the floor for the rest here's how they responded the initiative aims to inspire. number of people

from black asian minority backgrounds to consider a career in heritage their response unfortunately won't help those who are a little perturbed at the lack of placements in the industry the debate for positive discrimination is unlocked once again and firstly can you describe how you felt when you first read it i think. a little bit i think when i gave it a little bit. at it all i quite a large portion of the population were being excluded from applying for the job and i think i think probably supply severely angry with was my first thought when the company itself has explained that the government had tossed them with the job of increasing the number of ethnic minorities within their workforce well i would

say my was actually in a minority i think i would be insulted that i was having to have the opportunity to make with a load of people because i'm quite sure there's a lot but in my aunt it would be a wonderful job in those roles and on merit and i think i would be equally insulted as part of that community as i would be trolled the community that sex related. new safety records have appeared in the netherlands that contain special rumble strips that recreates a local motorists are travelling at the correct speed it was hoped it would encourage drivers to slow down to peer the song correctly over the moves driving the locals around the bend do you think incessant noise.
