sort of the state of affairs in in the middle east that it would be a step further towards what is in danger of becoming a regional war in the area so the stakes really are very very high here and you know it is one of the few. the deal with iran was one of the few successes of. foreign policy in the region it was one of the things that was actually served to kind of create at least the hope that some of the problems in the region could be resolved if that's broken we're in very very dangerous territory we're just fleshing out i frontier rounds point if you have how do you expect iran to react if come may the twelfth just over a week's time the u.s. pulls out of the nuclear deal. well i mean i hope they they respond with. with with you know patience and sort of understanding of the situation but i mean it seems to me it would be a real provoke a provocation to. the government of iran because they do feel obviously they
4:31 pm
demonized and it is a regime that is being put on the list of rogue states the regime has been vilified by the western powers and you know this would be a real they've they've made some concessions there has been a serious what appears to be a serious process of negotiation and compromise and an ending apparently to the nuclear program so you know i mean it's it will be very hard for them. the temptation for them to react in a way to you know get back on to the nuclear program to make kind of you know belligerent noises i can see is very very strong. chris thanks so much for your thoughts this hour kristie nine and find a member a national officer to stop the war coalition in new.

4:33 pm

4:34 pm

4:35 pm
just approaching a quarter of an hour in the program welcomed back at the iconic boy scouts of america are a bud to undergo a rip branding of sorts after one hundred and eight years and it seems the decision to drop the word boy from its name which will happen early next year as the organization welcomes girls to its ranks isn't a holy popular one. i
4:36 pm
think. 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 day goes on are supposed to be a part of the boy scouts they have their own organizing go scout as a form of boy scouts i say this is
4:37 pm
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 losing membership and money feminists and loving the boy scouts maybe not realizing it may destroy the women run against dallas. well from being heralded as long overdue inclusive it seemed to claims that it's another move to demonize anything that's gender specific the sky it's news so a fiery discussion here on r.t. . 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 we should of course to do is give them a range of activities on friday letting them actually encourage them to try new stuff because that's what they are they are what it is where i have found that what
4:38 pm
this is about and you know it there is 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 in some safe we've got the helmets 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 it's fine and there was nothing wrong with it i'm kind of concerned with the idea that it 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 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
4:39 pm
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 when 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 culture if you like people are afraid that there are genders and that boys like to do boys stuff and the girls like to do
4:40 pm
girls stuff it's not accurate mistake it's true. facebook is looking to regain its users trust in the wake of the data harvesting scandal involving cambridge on the it's become the social media behemoths is no introducing a number of changes to the plot form including a personalized needs filter take a closer look now jacqueline food facebook is working hard to revamp its public profile in the wake of the privacy scandal and the platform's 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
4:41 pm
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 bertha's may have cast their votes. we put that data into the system and is acting as a booster of suppression and we're going to dial up the intensity of 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 hopes a result that was seen with one of facebook's previous attempts at tackling fake niggas 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 academic research and correcting misinformation has shown that putting a strong image like
4:42 pm
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. 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 late 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. let's just stay with facebook a little longer it's also not facing criticism over its filtering of news sources that some activists are calling a form of censorship one organization which is called the us conservative leaders
4:43 pm
claims the suppression of right wing news on social media has reached crisis point they say are clips from both sides of the political spectrum should be respected and given equal waiting online but with recent gains in major elections across the globe we asked new yorkers what exactly they know 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 its prevailed polls in germany predict that a far right party will inter-parliamentary the term the 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 your way but that be like a nazi stream. capitalist is probably a more militant version of right wing. media
4:44 pm
a little more. an artistic view on the world's. largest is probably a more extreme viewpoint of far right 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 or 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. right 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
4:45 pm
dick durbin made me. 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 art see new york new yorkers sharing their views will former u.s. diplomat jim judge chris believes there's 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 concern 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
4:46 pm
that they try to d. 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. president mccrone has set off to french overseas territory now as he looks to persuade the people of new caledonia to remain a part of front. it was a sponsor do my thing that it will be essentially a symbolic a lot of responsibilities already low who managed by the government all the provinces.
4:47 pm
new caledonia already has other resources like tourism new caledonia is rich thanks to its culture and environment and slansky if one day there is no one nickel and can still make it. we already thought of every way to live without it it's mostly sovereignty expensive the army defense security justice cetera so we have asked ourselves this question for a long time in a country of two hundred thousand to two hundred fifty thousand inhabitants do we need all these structures the answer is no. to see the know when it will only be for the first referendum and there will be a second referendum and a third one so we have time to convince the people it's in their future interest to form this country he managed to share this i did with them they just need not to
4:48 pm
refuse it it's all polish to go as far as possible which is for others to close the corner chapters from. here we'll be keeping an eye on how that one plays but don't forget to up to the moment developments can always be found on our twitter page don't miss a thing this is r.t. .

a private jet for which he pays fifty thousand dollars a year. despite his tangles with the law he wants to be in the right places how does he fall something that will want to call out a bunch of sick people. say that money is the steroid and you had people go see it up because all the doing nothing else it would. look at your place and to be sensitive it lets you do something making up audio as you go but check in front of them before the switch was but they couldn't get. the set would set the p.t.b. to. i said. but this added benefit on one but because it's a metal. plate it isn't about. something. help us to step up somebody from a calculus but you know what's that been on the board to see it can't be. i didn't

4:57 pm
maybe the reason david no mudd prefers to be discreet is because one of the paintings he owns is causing him problems with the law. the story started here in the paris archives in two thousand and eleven with this man james palmer. even as a canadian private detective who specializes in finding art looted from jews by the nazis. one day while rummaging in the paris archives he came across a file on a certain stetson or a jewish antiques dealer the man was dispossessed of all his assets during world war two. after the liberation of paris he found a plane to recuperate his patrimony. the documentation is contained in this box
4:58 pm
it was here in the paris archives that we found a document that referred to the quest of mr oscar stettner for his stolen pate. the information that we found was that oscar stettner had been despoiled of a number of personal items carpet for example of portrait of him as a young man and also a painting by mostly any. and an important painting and that was looted from mr stener during the war. the canadian detective began his investigation he discovered that the antiques dealer staton or had made his claim for restitution in one thousand nine hundred six but well before the liberation the painting had already been sold by they've usually authorities. for the sum of sixteen thousand francs since then it disappeared. particularly because its description is
4:59 pm
so vague. the document only indicated that it was a painting signed by jani portrait of a man. the detective had no idea what the painting looked like. he had to find a photo of it at all costs. by consulting papers kept in the paris archives james palmer came across a clue this telegram. it states that staten or had sent the model jani to the venice biennale of one nine hundred thirty. i travelled to venice personally and went into the archives there and to the venice be an alley archives i saw mr stettner spray painting. in a photograph. james palmer was delighted he'd found it. this photo taken at the one nine hundred thirty venice biennale shows twelve paintings on the wall of the room dedicated to. ten portraits of women and two
5:00 pm
of men. the one on the right was already identified and well known. the painting in the middle however the one of a seated man is more mysterious. so now you've got reference to mr stener owning the painting you've got reference to portrait of a man. and you have a photograph that's the exact same painting that is now illustrated or described as the seated man. finally james palmer knew what the painting looked like. but where had it gone he searched everywhere activated his contacts toured the auction rooms archives and museums. and after a few weeks ago. he found a trace of the painting here in london in the catalogue an auction held at christie's in one thousand nine hundred six.
