continue to call on saudi arabia to the conflict. facebook is looking to regain its users trust in the wake of the harvesting scandal involving cambridge. the social media behemoth is now introducing a number of changes to the platform including a personalized news filter. takes a closer look 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 muses to 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
2:31 pm
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 bertha's 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 wafted goals 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 and not break down polarization or brick 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 get them a christian church and correcting misinformation has shown that putting a strong image like a red flag next to an article may actually entrenched deeply held beliefs the
2:32 pm
opposite of fact to what we intended the big issue here is 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 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 facebook's also facing criticism over its filtering of news sources that some activists are calling a form of censorship one organization which is called us conservative leaders claims the suppression of right wing news on social media has reached crisis point
2:33 pm
they say i plates from both sides of the political spectrum should be respected and given equal waiting online but recent gains in major elections across the globe we asked 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 which 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 is far right mean here all the way but that be like a nazi stream we capitalist is probably a more militant version of right wing. media little more inner.
2:34 pm
anarchistic view on the world's. largest 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 a right 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 in the keys right of center 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. of fundamentalist leaders are far right. and. you think he's right yeah maybe puton but like i don't know you you want i'm not sure. he's considered far right
2:35 pm
dick durban may be. prime minister of austria perhaps. i don't know there might be a few others seems that in politics words can be rather hard to define caleb mop and artsy new york big changes ahead for the boy scouts of america and it's causing a major run over gender politics that details in ninety seconds. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going from station let it be an arms race is off and spearing dramatic development is only loosely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very
2:36 pm
critical time time to sit down and talk. shows seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days because atticus and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you're back with our team to national in the iconic boy scouts of america are about to undergo a rebranding of sorts softer one hundred and eight years and it seems the decision
2:37 pm
which will be introduced early next year isn't a wholly popular one. i take it. 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 a premier leadership development organization for 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 day goes on all
2:38 pm
supposed to be a part of boy scouts they have their own organization to go scout as a form of boy scout 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 she's losing membership and money feminists and nothing the boy scouts moves not realizing it may destroy the women run discounts. from being heralded as a long overdue into this city to claims that it's another move to demonize anything that's gender specific the sky it's move saw a fiery discussion here on our t.v. . 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 girls soccer like climbing trees and there are lots of knowing there is like baking cakes and to try to say to young people you have to only do this what
2:39 pm
we should of course do is give them a range of activities inside lebanon and actually encourage them to try new stuff because that's what they usually are it is what it is right how i found out what this is about and you know it 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 a helmet there was a time when if you were a red blooded american male that's not how they're always learned to have kids you know his right and cried i read here and there i mean 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
2:40 pm
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 environment what you're seeing is the would 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 most people think that this is absurd kids are not allowed to be kids. the more he 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 goals join in
2:41 pm
maybe takes away some of the sort of 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 evacuate their stake it's true. police body count footage has emerged of officers in the us tasing a mentally ill man eighteen times even tremelo was later pronounced did a warning you may find the following video upsetting. we're going to go our. why do you have. three officers arrived on the twenty two year olds apartment after a call from his neighbor which reportedly mention tremelo was threatening to hurt himself he was in the shower when police arrived and was tasered multiple times when he failed to respond to their commands in one instance for thirty four seconds
2:42 pm
. died this an hour later according to the medical examiner's report the manner all of his death is undetermined however it was also stated that the taser usage was a contributing factor despite that's a county attorney found no evidence against the officers over his death albums case is far from the first to have thrown the heavy handed use of teachers into the spotlight.
2:43 pm
we spoke to the founder of communities united against police brutality who believes taser regulation is a big issue 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 take their skin is wet much more electricity conducts through their body the sad reality is that tasers are verily very poorly regulated the united states we started out with them having some rules around using tasers now they literally stick a taser on people they don't want their answer to something and it's outrageous because these devices are dangerous in this case and in many other cases they've proven to be deadly more than fifty percent of the people who are killed by police
2:44 pm
in this country are in the throes of a mental health crisis so we can see that it's really a problem and we really really need to stop using police as a way that we address mental illness in this country. the head of iran's high council for human rights sits down with examine next to talk they are really in a nuclear deal worlds apart starts in just them. in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and
2:45 pm
better guarded than for knox swiss customs are here permanently all the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening time so it will come up with it it was abducted from his office the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe must to pieces by artists like pecan so and modigliani i can't boards and sold inside this warehouse so that's where the report comes in it covers up deals which are naturally discreet commercially discreet felt but also discreet because they concern fraud for some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the geneva freeport such a place like china you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the art business.
2:46 pm
welcome to worlds apart u.s. president donald trump has until may twelfth decide whether to make good on his threat to exit the rand deal potentially a pending hears of international diplomacy and setting the ground for yet another conflict how seriously is that threat taken intact and should the american bullying be accommodative if peace is at stake while to discuss that i'm now joined by muhammad later jonny had of iran's high council for human rights and deputy off international affairs in the area mr larijani it's
2:47 pm
a great pleasure great honor talking to you thank you very much for your time thank you but let me start with the news of the day and this is a concern in many corners of the world that the united states is going to read meat on its obligations on that iran nuclear deal concerned grew even more acute following the appointment of the new secretary of state in the united states does it make any difference as far as iran is concerned in who has the state department whether it is john kerry rex tillerson or mike compare for that better. view right there's your view now of this the verses it doesn't matter to march the tactics or the articulation movie are different the. impact on the nuclear deal that was done and we are accepted that because you are going to approve of the mocha includes false rumor of mark following the. weapons
2:48 pm
at all but we have huge capability on the nuclear technology for peaceful purposes but no it is apparent that the americans want to use capability nuclear technologies as a pretext to exert pressure of a mouse it doesn't matter that we are barred by the private market i think it will definitely be not in the interest of you know this even america gets out of this part then the fact is this because it is five plus one parked now the current american president expressed he's dissatisfaction of of the oil a long before he took office and yet in more than a year since his inauguration there's been a lot of bellicose rhetoric but the very little in the way off action and your own calculus why do you think donald trump hasn't walked out of this deal already if he
2:49 pm
indeed intends to do that well there are two fires number one. don't know trauma's amount of bluffing not a man of realize actions so we know we are accustomed with american bluffing for over forty years and this is an extreme one secondly you know the decision is to extract more concession from the wrong on the regional issues he is absolutely wrong it doesn't and it was successful and now the american president doesn't exhibit their very reach for a cabbie larry in describing this deal he simply calls this very bad i wonder what words would iran use in characterizing the two thousand and fourteen agreement you spent a lot of man hours negotiating it did it come out as good or good enough for you was definitely we do not consider this pericope. a magazine more promote position. but definitely is not an ideal. the whole logic that we
2:50 pm
accept that these limitations on our own capability and development is to prove to the world or the american or their western allies claims an allegation against iran is wrong know that it has been proved that they are wrong and the atomic agency in more than ten reports endures the arraigning compliance you see that what the american are saying so this is a blasphemy this is corruption and the hypocrisy of the of the american foreign policy but on i want to say that. you know under this theory should not enter the will if they enter the will they would be the loser they would see that very soon as well as speaking about the potential loss perhaps for all of us president trump specifically mentioned that he and his soon to be secretary of state mike compare
2:51 pm
tend to see eye to eye on many issues particularly the iranian policy and back in two thousand and fourteen mr peo advocated military action to fully destroy the iranian nuclear capacity do you see it as a credible threat well our don't think the american are in the position to or saw another military engagement in their area already those who have a started before they are new both to manage to get out but to start them attack when iran may not be very difficult task but they won't be the one who will dictate the end of that they will receive a very harsh lesson which may be good for them for the historical. so we're indulging in a military duty against iran is not an easy thing for united states while they are facing ground failures in the region enough on the song in the persian gulf area another has now president trump employed
2:52 pm
a similar strategy all threats of blackmail with north korea only to announce last week that he is willing to sit down a bit the north korean leader do you think the iranian leadership would be open to a similar turn of events a personal meeting with donald trump to renegotiate oh perhaps simply reinterpret the terms of the standing agreement i think a standing argument should be complied fool by you know this that you know i do this news and also some of the european allies like the britain government are following the hypocritical approach to this this pact. both of them are most complying with. their obligations under the specs the first secondly we are in no way interested to talk with. the government you know the suit which does not have any credibility in his promises and his signatures so.
2:53 pm
this is the third important point americans are afraid of the influence of iran in the region. oh influence is not military influence for this is a more political influence it cannot be destroyed by bombs it can not be destroyed by military action i think americans should redefine that interest in the region their interest in the region is defined in a very strong and not feasible way mr larijani just mentioned that you believe teheran has no interest in organizing this presidential meeting between. the leaders of the two countries but i don't know trump is a very particular character he i think he is very easily influenced by his emotions and your neighbors for example israel is making a good the use of that i know that the reigning diplomacy has
2:54 pm
a very very good tradition of being very very skillful negotiators don't you think that a meeting between mr trump or let's say mr rouhani could be useful not a new way of renegotiating the terms but simply. trying to establish number for while first of all as you mentioned how diplomacy is basic feature is consistency your not absolute around different issues when doing time we have a vision and we can follow that vision which is corporation and peace in the region consistently yes we are capable to negotiate to negotiate hard stuff on hard matters but the point is who is the other side. the other side is a country which does not have any credibility you cannot you cannot put your finger room any promises. they commit to that so we are think there is
2:55 pm
no need to this there is no fruit to this negotiation now it is well known that other signatories to the j.c.b. away including russia are eager to preserve these deal in the in its current form is there anything that they can do to encourage iran to respect it even if the americans under the current leadership walk away while one if americans walk away this pact is there but how this that is you can truce with the russia and china no number of other countries definitely we will have our own solution for the problems that we face this corporation want to stop with the parent or without the pact it will continue but mr larijani i think there are lots of people in moscow who would share your disdain for the way the americans conduct their foreign policy but i think that does know that solve russian or ranee and responsibility to being
2:56 pm
committed to both regional and hopefully global peace should we give it so easily today americans to rag the result of you know several years of negotiations should we allow mr trump to kill this deal no different than flu. we should prove to mr frum that he will be a loser and they won't get into march why walking away from this pact we have we'll known as dr to is you we have very much calculated the strategy we can come from the situation very powerful and i think the russian policy both in the region and international community especially reserve you the nuclear project is very rational we support the position we have various close collaboration with the government of russia now speaking about the russian regional a policy there is some concern in moscow that the trumpet ministration may choose
2:57 pm
to try and turn the course of the syrian war by launching yet another unilateral strike on damascus and the russians have already sad that bob would meet retaliation i'm sure that we'll see a unilateral strike by the united states as an act of a russian but i'm also sure that you have little interest in seeing a major clash between nuclear powers in your on your own borders or what is your understanding of what a proportional reaction to american aggression in syria could be i think americans and love the european allies of united states is very much watching observing that this that that you totally failed there was a cynical a strategy. of this integrating a sovereign country like syria has faced brutally i think the collaboration between iran and russia definitely proved both internationally acceptable more or less
2:58 pm
support of who and very successful one we are we won't be afraid of this type of activity definitively we want to see that as much as possible the number of involvement of americans in syria. we should be decreased also should bestow american. presence in syria northern part of syria is illegal it is against international law he scored different from the russian collaboration with the syrian government which is based on mutual acceptance reliance. america's war one good and the thing by bombardment the selective targets they face is better to mind. rather than to advance gresham but mr larijani what i'm asking you about is not so much about the american actions but about what actions should russia take
2:59 pm
in response to this potential act of aggression you you mentioned that you believe and i think again this assessment is shared by many in moscow that the american strategy in syria has failed but an argument could be made that that would make the united states even more predisposed to desperate actions or. actions that could attract the attention of the world because i think we would both agree that donald trump has a propensity towards showing off so if indeed he proceeds with a delivering and not a strike on syria how do you think russia should respond why. none of you wrong or russia they have interest in expanding the military conflict. very determined is supporting the russian people and the russian government to differ.
