space i'm going to be allowed and that if i went to work so why should i love to be paid that having a kid in my long day just listening to other people all day long but none of them. good evening welcome you without international is just gone seven pm here in moscow now our top story this hour from the mess the key issues to the consequences of a third world war russia's president has wrapped up his annual televised q. and a session with the public this time it lasted over four hours. breaks down the highlights some of the things that really stood out was what vladimir putin had to say about foreign affairs for example to me a putin recently presented a new of superweapons we're talking here about bigger more powerful far. nuclear

missiles but they stick missiles and one viewer challenge vladimir putin saying you know does this stuff really exist there are those who doubt new russian weapons are soon going to be put into service back in two thousand and four they were doubting the guard system but now we see it in syria and that's not everything that we're planning to produce and put into service as i said in my address it's too early to talk about it but we will speak out soon the president stress that this isn't about saber rattling or waving your guns around or measuring anything with anyone but this is about parity this is about making sure that russia has a deterrent that new enemy no potential opponent can overcome russia. here another particularly worried. me a putin how close we are to world war three most of us will need to change the in a moment don't because you know you can recall einstein's words he said i don't

know with what weapons world war three will be fought but world war four will be fought with sticks and stones with the understanding of the fact that world war three may be the end of modern civilization must deter us from extreme actions on the international scene all this war talk and fears is no surprise given current tensions between the east and the west people are you know when is this going to end when is this division going to end these sanctions these restrictions and let me putin said that they won't until we will treat each other as equals until nations learn to respect each other and to compromise that he pointed to the trade war that has just erupted between europe and the united states saying that the new tariffs that washington has slapped on the europeans which of made them very unhappy those aren't so much tariffs as they are sanctions you know i mean you sort of one of the. french governments ministers recently said that the us shouldn't be

allowed to become the economic policeman of the world and he spoke about it publicly the former german minister of finance publicly said that germany hasn't been a fully sovereign state since one thousand nine hundred five but everybody can see what's going on but probably our partners thought it would never affect them that kind of politics is counterproductive the politics of limitations and sanctions and let me putin also spoke about the upcoming world cup jus to kick off in about a week in all over russia really and the said that the russian team lately hasn't hasn't played as well perhaps as a somewhat expected and he said he hopes that now that the world cup is here they'll really show what they've got. now the u.s. congress is set to decide whether to widen the war powers of donald trump the new bill would let the president decide who when where to fight with critics warning

capitol hill is for many giving away its control the bill was met with face resistance on wednesday. we've gone through seventeen years of war. you would drop this proposal will have one hundred seventy more a loaded gun and a desk drawer of the president ready for him to take it out and shoot it whatever it wants and it will put war making on autopilot do i want my sixteen year old going to war against al shabaab in somalia my boys have never lived in a country that has not been for both of them my son probably can't find on a map and probably very few people even in this room know who all shabaab is came korver passes that there are no limits on war let it be known that there were at least some of us who warned. well the new bill does seek to replace the two thousand and one war authorization act among other things to it grants the president the right to include new groups on the terrorist list without informing

the public some have expressed surprise the lawmaker behind the bill earlier claim that congress had been granting a license to wage war for to long u.s. media scoff that legislators don't even know what's in their own bill and despite the bill extending the president's war powers is what the bill's authors think about donald trump the president has great difficulty for. the man he's proven himself. unable to so that you know who i don't run with. i wonder if you gonna throw up with donald doubted lee they like the idea of the president being some sort of a king go to war when he wishes would it disconnect here you have these two and many others in washington calling troponin mentally unstable and all sorts of even worse things and then you want to give him the authority to go to war when he wants it's crazy war is what washington is made of war is washington's number one export

. you know what we give it all over we're just going to. sit in front of a camera collect our paychecks and do nothing. now in a bid to win back uses trust facebook is splashing out on a series of news programs exclusively through its video streaming service. i i. i. i'm shepard smith on facebook was a proxy i will circle seen as live nightly newscast you on fees. i i. well as you've seen they're the shows we produce by u.s. based media outlets from different sides of the political spectrum from c.n.n. to fox news in this report it seems that the social media giants are set aside

a ninety million dollars budget for the project but spite is rapidly growing involvement with mainstream media back in april chief executive mark zuckerberg was reluctant to acknowledge the platforms pivotal role in the news industry. are you are you a tech company are you the world's largest publisher or do we feel responsibility for the content on our platform the answer to that i think is clearly yes and but i don't think that that's incompatible with fundamentally at our core being a technology company where the main thing that we do is have engineers and build products while facebook does claim the news outlets will have full editorial control over the programs which for now will only be available in the us the wallace media commentator and the former news editor of news of the world is think it's going to prove hard for the social media giant to navigate in the new field. i think it's very revealing whether zuckerberg realizes outside his u.s.

bubble what he's doing here but he is actually putting his hands up and saying yes we are a publisher you know what it's difficult it's hard it's very difficult to strike balances and where is he going to find the expertise that he's going to get guide him through it that is not simply going to be a pair reflection of the classic north american politically correct soft left elitist metropolitan world i think it's going to be really difficult for him to do and i think it's going to be not a good thing necessary for the facebook audience. now in the u.k. members of the house of lords have been given a slap on the wrists over their behavior a memo has reportedly been sent out complaining about shouting order conversations and also falling asleep while in the chamber artist explains why the parliamentary

snoozes such a sensitive issue. most members of the house of lords which is the chamber of the british parliament have been around the block for quite some time the average age in the lords chamber is sixty nine and from the breadth of their experience the law job is to scrutinise british law and that can be pretty tiring so much sir that even the most hardworking and conscientious lords and politicians can get a little sleep paid. well rumor has it that the lords have now received a quiet telling off for falling asleep in the chamber according to the times

newspaper a conservative peers have received an email telling them that their behavior and that isn't up to scratch and it said that the other political parties are sending a similar reprimand to their lords but according to your established parliamentary convention perry is all allowed to quote rest their eyes so i mam with photos of sleeping lords all sleepy looking lords and i want london as to help me determine which of these are just resting their eyes and which all most definitely in the land of nod the definition so he might be resting his eyes they've just been told off the sleeping too much in the chamber guys lost control of his neck so he's definitely sleeping but i think he'd be asleep and he won't be resting but i don't know all right i'm just looking down his and i was just ok so you're not guilty not guilty what about what about these to. the.

rest of his eyes they should. be allowed to have a little camp in the chamber that's lots of. scrutinising there's. this place i would be let's have more than that if i went to work so why should i love to be paid for having a kid in my office think they should be allowed to have a little kip in the chamber you do over there well as far as i'm concerned they're old gentleman and deserve a little bit of a. long day they're just listening to other people all day long so. let them have. their will to be fair britain is far from the only country whose parliamentarians have nodded off from time to time although that could be one exception the moment france where lawmakers are complaining that a new president strive for reform is giving them a chance to rest. in recent weeks we've sat for eighty hours per week we've sat for the last seventeen days consecutively this is not how our parliament normally functions it is not allowing us to really carry out legislative work to make good

laws we are exasperated and for some of us exhausted this isn't the normal life of a parliamentarian staying night and day we're not trying to tug on the heartstrings this is not a good way of legislating. during his first year in office emanuel macron has introduced new legislation in everything from education to railways some of the national assembly sessions and even lasted far longer than usual and lawmakers do say that's not a good way of going forward despite that today french door makers of debating a new law on fire fighting fake news the bill has been criticised as an attack on freedom of speech but it's been heavily promoted by the president as r.t. charlotte dubinsky explains. the basic freedom is the freedom of expression which always comes with the freedom of conscience and of thought and that constitutes the basis for the counter power vital to our democracy this illiberal

temptation must be taken seriously. well the french president is of vocal defender of democracy and press freedom on top of that he's on a crusade against fake news the bill he initiated is aimed at protecting european elections from all kinds of this information spread in the media elections fakes media you have all of the key elements but one it seems is missing this voice that specifically russian media because of the time when the law was. thought the russian with responsible for what happened the united states since then there was lots of investigation very very few evidence concerning the russian of course no surprises here president is not a fan of russian media and of our channel in particular. russia today sputnik have not behaved as media outlets and journalists but as organs of

influence and false propaganda. this is. the missing six young woman so you should live. with. look at this it was like a madame would like only. this would be. the solution. if passed the bill would allow french judges to block the publication of any information deemed to be head of elections not definitely false but deemed to be but how efficient can these measures be welcome back because basically if you sense for something you're going to point everybody's attention to. and there is no way you can censor efficiently the internet so everybody will be looking for this news and because it's censured by the many people in france who believe that's the truth even though it's probably not the government just friends the initiatives saying

that it has nothing to do with reducing freedom of expression but vice versa it's only to protect it there is no foreign media in the country available to. what foreign media or news which is not really widespread in france let's be honest here . too internet providers. for those are the two major internet providers and in france for those of you don't know you have t.v. . with your internet provider i don't have a lot in use on my t.v. so i don't have access to news other than having access using the internet online on the web so it's not going to change much honestly there's nothing to be afraid of your international will have more than a couple of. we're

going to walk all you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battle. to do socks for the tell you that well because of the public works of. bach as they tell you on the cool enough by product. of the hawks where we along the board walk. through what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to lose is i don't see how that strategy will

be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. hello again now the u.s. secretary of state has taken a swipe at what he described as modern day tyranny the foreign policy message came in a tweet by mike pompei about the seventy fourth anniversary of d.-day during world war two that's when u.s. and allied troops landed in normandy to liberate western europe from nazi forces or the secretary of state referred to d.-day as the turning point in the fight against the nazis not mentioning though the soviet union's immense contribution to the victory also chose not to elaborate on what countries he sees as terra nicol in the modern world earlier state department spokesperson who now it also made an awkward

comments he's in the d.-day landings as an example of the longstanding relations between the u.s. and germany. but when you talk about germany we have a very strong relationship with the government of germany very strong relationship looking back in the history books today is the seventy first anniversary of the speech that now announced the marshall plan tomorrow is the anniversary of the d.-day invasion. we obviously have a very long history with the government of germany. ok let's get the thoughts now of an independent journalist who's with us this evening. i'm not sure if you heard that comment there from the state department spokesperson but she basically underlined the relations are so in america and should have been a using d.-day as an example a strange example to use. well it's should review courses in geography and above all in history and in the plot mostly because of

course on d.-day the germans were on the wrong side and the americans on the good side but what strikes me in comparison iraq and her remark to is the fact that they seem to believe like we do in the west very often that we've won the war full stop forgetting the red army if you look at the number of victims of soldiers who were killed during the war it's eight point seven million for the red army while the americans as a whole for the whole war lost only four hundred thousand men so it's twenty one times more than the american casualties and of course you had ten million russians who died in the war so it's terrible and the real victory of the second world war is clearly the soviet union and of course the americans helped the second. pillars of the allies but the second one not the first sorry folks that's one thing by the way heather as it is the charming name of that spokesperson for the state

department got one thing right it is that we also have the anniversary of the marshall plan which was a balloon of oxygen for western europe that brought the economy back you know in shape after the terrible war we had gone through so. clearly she has to review our things and she should not be the spokesperson for the state department for god's sake one thing that might also said he was a modern day tyrannies but he didn't sort of go on to expand who might that include why you think that wasn't perhaps any guesses who he think he was referring to. while you don't have many words on the tweet or his boss knows that mr pompei was new with tweeting so maybe he didn't really want to say what he said. of course he doesn't tell us what are the present day tyrants iran we guess so yes but are the

european cities allies against iran i'm not so sure today since the europeans sent a letter to washington saying that they disagreed and that the sanctions should be reviewed. and you don't know maybe the tyrants of today for mr pompei will include russia why not all china so it is really unclear and not welcome i think because his remarks at least the right i mean it was the american sickens the germans on the day. it is strange that we have three states donald trump does it a lot but now the second state is taking to twitter to make these sort of remarks you don't see them from other politicians so much from other countries is this just an american thing you think. i think it's an american thing though of course you see a whole another source starting to to treat as well and sent messages. on social media in a much more relaxed way much more than before so i suppose it will spread around the

world but the language of diplomacy is also changing because of mr trump's nominations i mean she also mentioned heather the charming lady of the state department she mentioned mr grinnell the new ambassador to to berlin of the u.s. to berlin in his remarks about boosting conservatives in germany i think that's also undiplomatic you know it's it shouldn't be that like that i mean diplomacy should be neutral and you can be influential with a few words like for example the king of sweden or the king of belgium or the british royal family are also those folks persons that can defend the country without having to sate plainly brutally as mr grenell just said a few days ago in germany ok interesting stuff we're going to have to leave it there but nice until there is independent journalist thank you.

greetings and salutations just a few short years ago during the height of the black lives matter protests and police brutality and aggression toward civilians was shined bright in the media spotlight a new piece of technology jumped to the forefront in the conversation on police reform body cameras politicians activists police reformers nationwide hype the use of body cameras as the twenty first century big stone age old law enforcement problem of just who should the public believe when interaction with the police goes bad the cop or the citizen we were all told that with body cameras the all seeing digital i would tell us the truth version of events without judgement or bias but the question is our body cam is really the be all end all of police reform take the

recent events in milwaukee wisconsin involving the police and be a rookie sterling brown back in january brown was confronted by a group of police officers after illegally parking in a handicap space he was then wrestled to the ground and tasered by the officers for refusing to take his hands out of his pockets brown was eventually given a two hundred dollar ticket for the parking violation and officers had pushed for an obstruction obstructing an officer charge but that was overturned after body cam footage was reviewed body cam footage that only now six months later is finally being shown to the public and walking police chief alfonso morales publicly apologized to brown in may five months after the incident occurred stating i'm sorry this incident as collated to this level the department conducted investigation into the incident which revealed members acted inappropriately and those members were recently disappointed. but are after the fact apologies beg
