he tried to flee but could not walk he had to wait until ambulances came and garces dozen of the wounded are in a critical condition saudi arabia and its allies have been bombing yemen since march two thousand and fifteen supposedly to support the government against shia rebels and the saudis have repeatedly insisted that they do not target civilians and coalition has carried out a number of its own investigations into airstrikes that have led to mass casualties as rights groups continue to call on saudi arabia to the conflict. russia is urging israel to back up its nuclear allegations against iran that story much more still to come this is our two international. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be

an arms race is often spearing dramatic development the only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. with lawmakers manufactured sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round. the one percent. nor middle of the room sick.

russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov has told israel that if it has evidence that iran violated the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal it should hand it over to the international atomic energy agency such documents should be immediately passed on to the international atomic energy agency but according to the comments from experts taking part in the negotiations it's very likely that such documents refer to previous activity which has already been taken into account by the international agencies inspections. you're so if the us who announces exit from the iran. the international community will of course lose one of the most important instruments promoting the new kid nonproliferation regime the source that was on monday israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu gave a dramatic presentation he accused iran of lying about a secret nuclear weapons program he went to tehran continued its weapons research
1:33 am
after the two thousand and fifteen deal was struck netanyahu revealed fifty five thousand pages of documents apparently seized from iran in the highest by israeli intelligence we know from. the project on what. was a comprehensive program to design and look what. we're also. secretly story brought to tomatoes to use to talk about these troops to devote. we remain deeply concerned about iran's dangerous places the rest is rule of the region iran's vision to dominate middle east we're a. united states is with israel in this fight we strongly support israel sovereign right to defend itself. european leaders urged israel to submit all of the data to the un's nuclear watchdog but along with the i.a.e.a. itself they suggested that there was nothing new in the presentation and that there
1:34 am
is no credible evidence that iran broke the agreement the pact was struck in two thousand and fifteen it was brokered by the u.s. china britain russia france and germany after nine years of talks and hailed as a huge diplomatic success in exchange for some sanctions being lifted iran agreed to strict limits on its nuclear program and to top up its facilities to international experts the deals are currently in jeopardy though as the u.s. president who has been a vocal critic is deciding whether to walk away many analysts saw benyamin netanyahu as presentation as an attempt to convince donald trump that it should be abandoned anti-war activist chris nineham told us that he also thinks it paves the way for america to pull out. the only conclusion you can draw from that is that this was likely part of an operation to try and balance the u.s. to try and give credibility to donald trump efforts he's he's he's
1:35 am
a parent to. a wife from the treaty with iran so it seems it seems a reasonable assumption to make that that is actually what was behind this effort by benjamin netanyahu the stakes really are very very high here and you know it is one of the few. to deal with iran was one of the few successes of. foreign policy in the region it was one of the things that is actually going to. 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. facebook is looking to regain its users trust in the wake of the data harvesting scandal involving cambridge analytical jacqueline vogel 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 news is two things make sure people can
1:36 am
get trustworthy news in our platform and we're doing our job to help build the sense of common ground in society now who's to decide what news organizations are worthy the companies two billion users the social network has already started using the result of user surveys to determine what news publications will be popping up in your feed and which will be suppressed and the reagan 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 burgers 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 intensity of that over time we feel that we have a responsibility to further break down polarization and find common ground some rather 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 not break down polarization or break hopes
1:37 am
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 read flogging disputed articles as it didn't have the desired effect academic research 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 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 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
1:38 am
waiting to see how facebook's latest attempt at social responsibility pans out. with less than six weeks to go before the football world cup the russian president has paid a visit to one of the host cities where putin was joined by the head of the for johnny infantino forgot of course you're going to preparations for the football world cup which your country is hosting this year almost complete like russia is ready for the tournament which professionalism that they have seen in the organization of this world cup is unique because i've seen it because i've witnessed it because i've heard it. sochi is one of the eleven cities that will be hosting the world cup matches will be held at the fisht stadium built for the winter olympics four years ago and he's done hawkins went to the venue the sun the sea on this beautiful mountain view is likely to make forty one of the most beautiful host cities for this summer's world cup here in russia president putin
1:39 am
arrived today to make checks on the final preparations he was met by people president john infantile though both of them got their hands on their fan i.d.'s something every visitor will need to see the games. and all the action will be taking place just behind me at the fish stadium very close to the shoreline in fact.
1:40 am
the message is the preparation the feedback from all our when experts are extremely positive what is done. for the security and for the fans is absolutely unique and this shows that russia is absolutely ready to host the world to celebrate a summer. of festivities here in this beautiful country safety concerns were a big issue for many before coming to russia that's why security has been made a top priority more than two thousand cameras you put on things plus a thousand volunteers and extra security to make much they safe and enjoyable for all but in this heat in this weather it seems the most fun stuff to worry about is
1:41 am
remembering the suncream. boy scouts of america are about to undergo a rebranding after one hundred eight years you're going to nation is dropping the word boy from its name and encouraging girls to join but not everyone supports the move. i say. oh you're right we wanted to land on something that evokes the bass 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 the young men and young women. the girl scouts is a premier leadership development organisation for girls we are and will remain the first choice for girls and parents.
1:42 am
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 jews are losing membership and money feminists and loving the boy scouts move not realizing it may destroy the women run kind of scouts. well we asked our guests for their views on the boy scouts name change. 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 obvious there are a lot of dr 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
1:43 am
course to do is give them a range of activities that he's letting them actually encourage them to try new stuff because that's what. it is now 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 that's not how they're always learned to have kids you know his writing large 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 her to fight and be super of tip super rough unsupervised with each other i think that this is two thousand and eighteen and the idea that it's somehow
1:44 am
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 in an environment where definitely arguments in favor of allowing them to do at least some of those activities 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. more if you look at the kind of science of it where 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
1:45 am
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 girl stuff it's not a backward mistake it's true and that does it for me i will be back in about thirty five minutes of the full news they would. back geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to access education its high education is becoming just another product
1:46 am
that can be pulled from the sold so this not just about education anymore it's also about running a business there where you good. luck with this also the kind of fellow we couldn't. want is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now i'm running stream or higher education the new global economic wall. street's seemed wrong but old quotes just don't hold. any old belief yet to shape out this day comes to etiquette and indeed from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. chance to look for common ground.
1:47 am
greetings and salutation. it's important to have a great bad guy watchers any successful television writer will attest that planning and setting the stage for next season's big bad is of vital importance as you move from one season to the next all your great dramatic t.v. shows operate this way by the end of season one after the good guys' bank which they're posed you got introduced the next potential bad guy for season two i mean how else are you going to keep folks you know bingeing steet his streaming and paying their monthly dues and it certainly appears that the same approach that has worked so well for netflix and h.b.o. also works for us foreign policy with tensions on the korean peninsula now appearing to kind of cool down and that dreaded military industrial prophet killing peace were being thrown around where oh where oh where will the warmongers and
1:48 am
profiteers look next for twenty eight teens big bad villain well thanks to a absolutely ridiculous court case that our good friend prime minister of israel himself benjamin netanyahu and his dunder mifflin style power point skills it appears that iran will fill the role of bad guy yes according to mainstream headlines this week not only is the run currently potentially maybe not really sort of kind of not so much in violation of the much maligned twenty fifteen nucular deal which prevents them from building or pursuing nuclear weapons but did you know that iran is also behind the nine eleven terror attacks as well yes this week a.b.c. news reports that u.s. district judge george daniels in a default judgment has ordered the country of iran to pay billions upon billions of dollars to parents spouses siblings and children of more than one thousand nine eleven victims. of course this comes despite the fact that the nine eleven
1:49 am
commission by a little run did not in fact open a direct role in those attacks at all unlike say the little u.s. ally saudi arabia where fifteen of the nineteen hijackers called home but you know what what little little things like contradictory evidence facts and you know common sense get in the way of a good propped up villain for the headline reading masses well ladies and gentlemen let's cut through the fairy tale bad guys and get back to reality and start watching the hallmarks. of. the. real thing. at the bottom. like you said i got. this.
1:50 am
week. to watch the dark side of the world and on top of the wallet and that lawsuit is silly silly for such a serious issue and i think it's silly it is silly because one this is a it's purely symbolic there's no way that they're they can legally make. ever or anybody in iran or an iranian or a reading bank pay this it's not it's not a buy there's no binding mechanism to make around pay for the us the other problem is that as you said there one is that the media is playing this is if it's this the judge and i was a court case they went over everything and he really wanted his case because he argued it as you said it was a default judgment and if you don't know what to do you fall judgment means is you sue somebody if they don't show up you when they will if they don't file some paper they would if they never respond you would it's not like there's another one that ever did. massive evidence that's being argued in your side's evidence one out to
1:51 am
prove that iran was behind nine eleven yeah i mean what's crazy in your example where this suit was actually filed back in like two thousand and four you know back fresh off the you know iraq has w m d days you know those days are great because i knew they were going to figure out who actually was responsible for nine eleven you know that somebody you know who was in new york city at that time i thought it was al qaeda and then when the twenty three pages came out were like oh they were saudi arabia so please explain to me how this wonderful new data that we got from that you know who says it's me i know right. and that's good at the power points but you know basically like when you look at it the lawsuit this was going to run came into being because of it back in twenty six we talked about on the shore the you know congress passed justice against sponsors of terrorism act or as many call it justice and that basically allowed sovereign states to be accused of terrorism to be sued for liability again like you're saying pretty much all surface it's not
1:52 am
like anyone is going to ever pay this jack where do you send the bill what's interesting is that the court you know this court in the you know in this deep hole judgment may have found because in the case they blamed the islamic republic of iran the islamic revolutionary guard corps the central bank of islamic republic of iran and other long name things are you know they said basically they're liable for these thousand deaths and the families who are suing this is the family brought a lawsuit. but what's interesting about that is that it all still kind of goes back to saudi arabia right i mean you're looking at him isn't it really just well he's got a very interesting because there is no wonder you know they had said there's no new material. in what he had said an iranian foreign minister to make point and foreign minister had said when he looked at it when he was looking at everything it was this idea. to put it in real estate terms what he said was when you buy a house and move your family and. or demolish it to build
1:53 am
a skyscraper you cannot come back two years later and read it go she is the prize. and this is where. even the attorney on the case ultimately pointed toward saudi arabia so you have a deal that has nothing to do with nine eleven that is post nine eleven that the previous administration and many other countries sat down at the table and said let's look forward and you have a case. that's being thrown around right now oliver is trying to demonize an entire country so even the attorney on the case so as he points to saudi arabia as as like the who's actually like central and fact a.b.c. news. he had told. how full of motley rice. to a.b.c. news but those finding out overshadow the mountain of evidence presented against saudi arabia which remain central to the plaintiff's case so here's a case where that really says so here
1:54 am
a view is more at fault but because of those one careless to the symbolic and i don't use it to go and say let's really reorganize a nuclear deal it's not a deal if you have agreement it's how we keep people from dying and that's what leaders are supposed to do yes yes. i mean that's it right there and as you were talking about to the reaction that netanyahu is well with there's a little cute little powerpoint thing is absolutely ridiculous and it's a good analogy to that there were no really as brought up there. just we don't need more villains we need better politics and the better for policy. if you eat blue crabs there is a fifty percent chance your purchase supported the crab industry in hooper's island maryland in fact maryland is the nation's leading producer and processor of blue crab meat with nearly six hundred. dollars injecting the u.s.
1:55 am
economy cheer from the crowd of industry which is why it's so important that only five of the eight seafood companies on hoopers island were able to get visas for their migrant workers due to a lottery system installed by the new administration in hopes of creating more job opportunities for americans but it's proving nearly impossible to fight american workers willing to make less than five hundred dollars a week with no overtime or wage protection in seasonal jobs that can lead to skin infections lesions and more which is why the maryland blue crab industry relies so heavily on migrant mexican women who travel north to work under the age to be visa program but this year the visas were given out in a lottery not on the first come first served serve basis they have been in previous years meaning forty percent of the labor the crowd industry needs will not be there which leaves the interdependent economy in maryland at risk since each unfilled visa leads to two and a half jobs lost in the area as the president of the chesapeake bay seafood industries association jack brooks private quote it devastates our community is our
1:56 am
local markets the people who make our boxes right here in our county the people who service our equipment our truck drivers our truck repair people the local markets it goes on and on and on so the question remains if us natives aren't willing to enter the job market to fill these less than desirable jobs why are we discouraging legal migrant workers whose labor keeps these rural communities like reapers i've learned driving. because they take. yeah this blows my mind like when you see stories like this is like your you have a system set up keeping business is a employees doing all those people are agreeing to do what sounds like some pretty terrible job i mean you know it was a lesion is an infection is over there is just disk you know shock some crabs of that's the right terminology i don't think crabs but well. but you know but what they do they literally are taken by these pigs are seriously are breaking up are pulling all of the meat out of these crabs by hand these are called three d.
1:57 am
jobs around the world and the reason i called three d. jobs is that they are dirty dangerous and demanding although sometimes they also use degrading or demeaning we do have records i want to. they have to do some of the things they have to do is they have to purchase a lot of their own safety equipment so that when you see people with cut up hands they don't have gloves safety gloves are like the metal does is because they can afford them this is what gets under my skin was when you told me something like that because that's those moments for a full out there who are complaining about people stealing jobs out of jobs well years old senator jobs for you to do now granted could definitely you know maybe use a pay raise and a job at a few others but it just goes where much because there are jobs americans regularly don't want to work piecemeal and that's what a lot of this migrant set is it's piecemeal. and it's only an eight month job so that was their big and then it was and is the stage to be program the right stuff so so the age to be a program is what allows us employers or u.s. agents to meet specific what they call regulatory requirements to bring for
1:58 am
a national see united states to fill these temporary naan at the called out of her cultural positions. and what happened was congress had set the cap for the age to be program at sixty six thousand per fiscal year so thirty three thousand for half of the year thirty three thousand for the second fiscal twenty team. but what happened is there weren't enough to go around because it became a lottery instead of first come first serve these employers you know went at the normal amount of time and applied for these visas for all of these workers a lot of them didn't get it that's a five out of eight didn't get out they just didn't get lucky in the lottery despite the fact that they went in early they did it now they don't have people to work those jobs and then they're and i'm hearing that this really is an immigration issue it's not this is an i mean there's this idea that it's about immigration but this issue is is
1:59 am
a lot bigger than that when you talk about that morgan is the general manager of a.g. phillips or eighty philips and son one of the many producers on hoopers island said this is not an immigration issue they come here abide by the rules pay their state federal taxes their social security taxes and they send the majority of their money home to support their family their very important part of our local economy is and that's something i think a lot of people forget is that under these visa programs they come here they pay taxes they are paying into a social security system they will probably never get anything out of it we probably won't but they definitely will be there maggots and they're not asking to stay here but they're going they're coming back and they're doing it every year but you're forgetting about one of the major talking points about all of us that is the great example last year d.h. our secretary christian nielsen told representative bill keating quote the concern was that the visas were being given to those who are not seasonal workers will fortunately have seen an increase in for odd see the people there given out these
2:00 am
abuses under the guise of being seasonal workers were really they're not they're here to state that is the argument that you hear you know and that's the same argument that left a lot of people in the rust belt with no decent support from their own government with the money they were paying in their taxes because this is exactly what happens if you don't shut down an entire program that feeds millions and millions of dollars think about this every one of those people who didn't have a visa to that's. and a half jobs lost by americans in that rural county that only has few industries to keep it alive so no you don't shut down an entire program just because a few people misused it you enforce it better you do your job but you've got to put you've got to put you know you actually have to do good policy over just your you know your instincts to just make a few quotes on t.v. and say that you're tough on something like that with national whatever art as we go to break watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the top of your cover the facebook and twitter your full shows that are t. dot com coming up we uncover some rather start.
