the coalition has carried out a number of its own investigations into our strikes that led to mass casualties as human rights groups continue to call on saudi arabia to because. facebook is looking to restore some damage reputation after the data breach scandal involving cambridge a little. for the social media giant will introduce a number of changes to the platform including a personalized news filter artie's object has been taking a closer look at what's in store facebook is working hard to revamp its public profile in the wake of the privacy scandal and the platforms move to eliminate fake news from your feed is one such example i have your responsibility news is two things make sure people get trustworthy news and platform and the we're doing our job to help build a sense of common ground in society now who's to decide what news organizations are worthy the company's two billion users the social network has already started using

the results of the user surveys to determine what news publications will be popping up in your feed and which will be suppressed and the range of an outlet is based on two simple questions have you heard of them and how much do you trust them and that means what's to be believed is based on the opinions of the internet not necessarily facts even flat earth errors and burglars may have cast their votes. we put that data into the system and insights and is a booster of suppression and we're going to dial up the intense to that over time we feel that we have a responsibility to further break down polarization and find common ground some other wav to go off given that the internet isn't exactly known for bringing out the best in people there's also surely a risk that such a system will only cause people to further dig in their heels not break down polarization hopes a result that was seen with one of facebook's previous attempts at tackling fake news last year the company pulled the plug on its initiative which had third party fact checkers red flagging disputed articles as it didn't have the desired effect i

could them agree searchin correcting misinformation has shown that putting a strong image like a red flag next to an article may actually entrenched deeply held beliefs the opposite of fact to what we intended the big issue here is what what they mean is this credible or informative new source is it what fits mark zuckerberg political view is it what it's facebook's political view. in the terms of unbiased independent journalism i don't see a big success at all i don't see anything which puts a private corporation like facebook who has shown to be not the most trusting of sources of light i don't see anything that putting them in charge of this kind of responsibility could turn out to be successful in a way shape or form for independent journalism so here we are again watching and waiting to see how facebook's latest attempt at social responsibility pans out well that is not the only new feature facebook is working on the platform is also busy

getting ready to enter the online dating speer though not everybody is sold on the idea. this is going to be going to be. real long term relationships are not just talking .

facebook is also facing criticism over its filtering of news sources that some octave is circling a form of censorship one organization called conservative leaders claims the suppression of right wing news on social media has reached crisis point they say i plates from both sides of the political spectrum should be respected and given equal waiting in line but with recent gains in major elections across the globe we new yorkers what exactly they knew about the term right wing. sunday's elections in austria where the latest example of a shift to the right in europe's politics this this shows that the far right wing has won it's prevailed polls in germany predict that a far right party will inter-parliamentary the term right wing is being used pretty liberally these days we decided to ask americans what does far right or right wing

actually mean let's see what kind of answers we get what does far right mean you're away with that be like a nazi and your extreme lee capitalist views it's probably a more militant version of right wing. maybe a little more inner. anarchistic view on the world. but just is probably a more extreme viewpoint a far it far right means very far right. what does that mean on the right side very far ok donald trump is far right i think he's trying to come to the sent to because he has to administer right and he was more far right before he became the president i think he's all over the place to tell you the truth i don't know that he has an ideology other than donald trump no not necessarily and he's right of center dave definitely yes but i mean the fact is he's a former democrat he's not that far right any world leaders that you would consider

to be far right. but fundamentalist leaders are far right. and. i think he's right yeah maybe but like i don't know you you want i'm not sure. he's considered far right dick durbin may be. prime minister of austria perhaps. i don't know there might be a few others it seems that in politics words can be rather hard to define caleb mop and art see in new york a former u.s. diplomat jim believes there is a multifaceted effort by social media platforms to sideline views that don't fit with the company's political agenda i think there's a real concerns that the conservative voices are being discriminated against in social media not only facebook but twitter which i use quite a bit and google and the the idea would be to marginalize or stigmatize

conservative voices as somehow being beyond the limits of legitimate discussion and we also have practices what they call shadow banning where there are there are ways to downgrade content if it's politically not correct so that it has fewer viewers that they try to deem monetize conservative voices so that they can't actually support their platforms in the way that voices on the left are able to do it which evidently is more acceptable in the circles that in which the managers of these platforms operate. the iconic boy scouts of america are set to undergo a rebranding of sorts softer one hundred one and two years but it seems the decision to be introduced early next year isn't a very popular will. i

say. oh you're right we wanted to land on something that evokes the best but also conveys the inclusive nature of the program going forward we're trying to find the right way to say we're here for both young men and young women. girl scouts is the premier leadership development organisation for girls we are and will remain the first choice for girls and parents. let's be honest the boy scouts as we knew it is now effectively dead goals are not supposed to be a part of the boy scouts they have their own organization called go scout as a form of boy scouts i say this is a terrible idea boys need to be with other boys at times without girls being

present to be boys the boy scouts raping the dualistic girls g.'s losing membership and money feminists and loving the boy scouts move not realizing it may destroy the women run kind of scouts. or we heard both sides of the argument from political activists kates more thwaites and legal and media list lionel. there isn't a great deal of evidence to suggest that only boys want to do traditionally male activities and only girls want to do traditionally female activities there is very very obviously there are a lot of dr like climbing trees and there are lots of way there is like baking cakes and to try to say to young people you have to only do this what we should of course do is give them a range of activities on sunday letting them actually encourage them to try new stuff because that's what they hear shows are that is what it is or i have found that's not what this is about and you know if there was an absolute determined effort to destroy whatever was left of this thing called the jones or

it's now considered almost like races or inappropriate to do anything to distinguish boys from girls who are playing it so safe we've got the helmets there was a time when if you were a red blooded american male let's not have alway's lines or have kids you know his right arm and cried i read here and there he means fine and there was nothing wrong with it i'm kind of concerned with the idea that it's somehow great to encourage boys to to fight and be super of super rough and super violent with each other i think that this is two thousand and eighteen and the idea that it's somehow good for young men to be thrown into some sort of boxing ring i think that we should offer young people boys and girls a whole range of activities and there are definitely arguments in favor of allowing them to do some of those activities and violent marriage definitely arguments in favor of allowing them to do at least some of those activities mixed environment

what you're seeing is the woods sophistication of just boys and girls and how we are just turning their men to just these these i don't know these hominids or these kids who don't play who don't enjoy doing things like i did like we did being a boy and roughhousing those people think that this is absurd kids are not allowed to be kids. the more if you look at the kind of science of it where do young people do best it turns out perhaps surprisingly perhaps unsurprisingly that goals seem to thrive better in single sex environments for things like that but boys actually seem to thrive better in mixed environments it seems like having some girls join in maybe takes away some of the sort of lottie coach or if you like people are afraid that there are genders and that boys like to do boys stuff and the girls like to do girls stuff it's not of that chord there stick it's true all right we're back with more in ninety seconds.

we're going to work hard sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings me to the chicken or forcing you to fight the battles they're going. to do socks for the tell you to the beach gossip the public the. public on advertising telling you are not cool enough to look like your product. these are the heart that we are born with one.

you're back with the r t international police a body count has emerged of officers in the us tasing a mentally ill man eighteen times. was later pronounced dead a warning you may find the following video upsetting. well there are. a lot of you have.

three officers arrived the twenty two year old's apartment after a call from his neighbor which reportedly mentioned was threatening to hurt himself was in the shower when police arrived he was tasered both times when he failed to respond to their commands in one instance for thirty four seconds. died less than an hour later according to the medical examiner's reports the manner of his death is determined however it was also stated that they taser used was a contributing factor despite a county attorney find no evidence against the officers over his death and adams case is far from the first to have thrown the heavy handed use of tasers into the spotlight.

well we spoke to the founder of communities united against police brutality who believes taser regulation is a big problem in the u.s. . the police violated a number of policies first of all they broke into his home without probable cause to do so and secondly they taste him multiple times eighteen times in fact while he was in the bath tub where the person is. if their skin is wet.
