for this hour on live from moscow this of course is on to you to national welcome to your news. u.s. court has refused bail to russian citizen maria after she pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to act as a kremlin agent prosecutors released court papers relating to her case the documents claim that it was in contact with the russian intelligence officials and the she offered to sex in exchange for a job at a u.s. special interests organization. twenty nine year old has appeared in federal court and entered a plea of not guilty contesting the charges against her and she's been denied bail so she will remain in federal custody pending trial documents presented by the
4:02 am
federal prosecutors have a lot of really unclear words in them for example it says appears to have ties to russian intelligence services they believe they said that was in contact with officials believed to be russian intelligence operatives furthermore they stated that they have a handwritten note that says how to respond to f.s.b. employment offers so this is what they have a lot of very unclear statements in the document and furthermore they went on to allege that she has been covertly offering people sex for favors and basically the charge is that she has been operating in pro-gun lobby groups and with the republican party and has been doing so on behalf of the russian government without registering herself as a foreign agent now a lot of the media reports are using words like spy and ask but none of those charges have been filed she is not being accused of doing any military related work
4:03 am
no classified information is involved in the case it's simply alleged misuse lobbying and behaving as a lobbyist without registering as a lobbyist on behalf of the russian government of the spokesperson for the russian ministry has come forward and said they are alarmed by the case and they are calling the charges groundless and politically motivated we've heard they are saying essentially the f.b.i. instead of dealing with its basic duties to combat crime is carrying out a plane political order her lawyers argued that she has been cooperating with federal officials in the united states for the last few months that she is not a flight risk but the judge didn't hear it and the judge said that she was denied any bail so she remains in federal custody awaiting trial on these charges of being an unregistered for. an agent lobbyist. for facebook moderators have been instructed not to remove content that violates the company's guidelines if indeed it generates enough revenue that's according to an undercover investigation by the

u.k.'s channel four the reporter attended a six week training session on facebook's content moderation policy and the role of fruit. for. your. so. one example is the page of jailed far right activist tommy robinson and this was given the same kind of protected status normally reserved for government pages and big news organisations tom robinson used to lead the english defense league ultimately a street based social movement opposed to islamists and islamic extremism after leaving the league he became a freelance journalist and robinson it was recently sentenced to thirteen months for contempt of court after live streaming over facebook a report on an ongoing trial artie's isa ali takes
4:05 am
a closer look at facebook policy. so this channel four documentary dispatches sends an undercover reporter to work for c l now they're a contract for facebook and they provide a number of services including moderating content for the social media giant and not undercover reporter he goes in and one of the things that he's instructed to do in his training is not to delete for example certain racist means or certain images also to do with child abuse the normal facebook rules state that should a page violate the rules or the terms of conditions five times or more than the entire page is to be brought down and not just the offending content but in the case of leaders like tommy robinson then that content wasn't brought down all those pages weren't brought down facebook they've apologized for the revelations which
4:06 am
have come out of that dispatches documentary and the valve that they will investigate we take these mistakes incredibly seriously and are grateful to the journalists who brought them to our attention we have been investigating exactly what happened so we can prevent these issues from happening again so it would appear that far right groups and leaders like tommy robinson it's not so much what they say or what they do which is important to facebook but how much money they can make for the social media in terms of deciding what is and isn't hateful and it's interesting that it comes as off the wall of the social media giants not just facebook but twitter and others that they need to do more to police their sites better. the russian defense ministry has unveiled video of its new generation weapons in action some of the world's most powerful arguments are now fully operational in the russian military r.t.
4:07 am
correspondent what i guess do you have takes a closer look at the new arsenal. when putin announced this new arsenal it came out of nowhere seemed like side five overkill to some but you know we now have videos of each. kindle or dagger and russian is a hypersonic missile and it's fast really fast flies at three kilometers a second and anything tries to shoot it down it dodges to maneuvering flying in an unpredictable trajectory world first by the way for the u.s. plans to test its own analog next year. saddam out this is the overkill bought a new nuclear i.c.b.m. that carries get this twenty nuclear warheads the real
4:08 am
a slow is its range which is practically unlimited where past nuclear missiles had to use the shortest flight path and fly through ed defenses this thing can literally fly to the south pole and back up to hit that stargate from behind. if for whatever reason you don't feel like flying through and. there's adam god and it's designed to literally ram its way through enemy anti missile defenses with the speed first it's lifted into space then its engines turn on and it enters the atmosphere at knock twenty that's roughly seven kilometers a second. poseidon the greek god of this she may be gone but he's got a no less terrifying successor a nuclear powered paedo that travels to deep and so fast it's in theory
4:09 am
undefeatable. brevets nick a new nuclear powered nuclear capable cruise missile it's literally powered by a nuclear reactor on board inside the misselling meaning it's got indefinite range so long as the reactor has fuel it can stay airborne fluids around and around until the opportunity to strike. combat lasers have always been a cool science fiction gimmick but they never really got doing the science and technical requirements were too great until now it seems it is yet named after a russian worry among a laser weapons system designed to deliver incredible amounts of energy in a small area so shoot down all melt down and incoming drew nor jet to
4:10 am
shelve for example other than that not much known yet. now one might ask isn't all that is just begging for an arms race is russia each in for a fight no says putin it's all about balance balance means peace the four things were even russia and the us had nuclear parity mutually assured destruction then after the u.s.s.r. collapsed nato began to expand began to field new weapons that could destroy russian nukes what putin unveiled is russia's a return to military equality status quo a return to balance. ten pastorate moscow a french court has rejected a case brought by survivors of the twenty fifteen battle plan terror attacks
4:11 am
against the state over its handling of the tragedy the lawsuit looked to be actions of a group of soldiers ordered not to intervene despite being armed and posted outside the concert hall in paris as the assault unfolded our paris correspondent sheila do pinsky has details. these claims were brought in front of the court just about a month ago and they were brought on relation to the victims and the families of those who didn't survive the battle plan attacks. so what they claim to basically is that the french state failed to assist those in danger by not intervening and what was happening that night at the vatican because the soldiers were not only given orders not to go in intervene they were also given orders not to give their weapons to the police who actually wanted to go inside and to troy and assist those who were being injured in the century that small to that
4:12 am
was taking place now the court documents that were put in also alleges that the terrorists were able to freely move within the european union because of the showing in area and the final major claim that was made is that the security services actually let them slip through the net and that's because many of the perpetrators of this attack were actually known to the security services before that terrible night back in november two thousand and fifteen now the court rejected those principles saying that the state there was no evidence that the state could have known that the battle in particular would be targeted in this event now we've also heard from one of the lawyers of the victims today who saying that she just doesn't accept this ruling in november thirteen attacks are not inevitable everything was now degree of danger was known deceived really or to draw conclusions from previous attacks linked to the lack of surreal and and vigilance by the security services of the french state many of the questions that the
4:13 am
families wanted answered still haven't been answered not by this case today nor by the parliamentary inquiry which followed those attacks just a year or so ago but we do know is as those answers remain those questions remain unanswered they will be something that those. families will continue to think about and wonder whether in their minds they could just being moved on to save their loved ones and help more people survive this attacks back on the phone the thirteenth two thousand and fifteen are still to come in the program here on international thousands of white farmers in south africa have their eyes on a pig in russia it's a case of violence against them rising in africa a story off to. the music with your anderson even here in the week even your did for you so this is
4:14 am
a good idea but i think a lot of americans this understand the extent to which the ways in which we use to communicate for example where there are military operations in syria or even about the baltics lewdly as they do they make. a bunch of misunderstandings at the end of which you could be in a catastrophic war which would be crazy for russia would be crazy for us. where there may not be any maybe bacterial life and may not be anything but if you think it's probably there is some intelligent life out there and certainly from now we can you can send. a robot to interact with some other species out there.
4:15 am
all right quite a pos here in moscow the israeli parliament has passed a controversial law that bars any activists or human rights groups critical of the israeli defense forces from entering schools. bans activists who actively promote illegal or international political actions to be taken outside israel against soldiers of the israel defense forces or against the state of israel anyone who wanders around the world attacking i.d.f. soldiers will not enter a school opponents of the new law fear that its vague language could stifle any criticism of the israeli state altogether and there are several organizations in particular that been more targets or less clear explains. the buck stops with the
4:16 am
education minister himself it's up to him to say which organizations and which individuals can address students in a school or in a university and he's already picked his targets the reality in which organizations that undermine the legitimacy of the state of israel and the i.d.f. soldiers gets to school children has ended today breaking the silence cross the law and a long time ago of legitimate dialogue when they chose to slow the state of israel in the international arena breaking the silence is an israeli non-governmental organization of army veterans who collect and publish testimonies of soldiers who served in the west bank east jerusalem and gaza they tell their personal stories and eye witness accounts of abuses to palestinians. by company commander card one kid in a daring operation i remember he brought him up to the outpost and beat him up he

slapped him around and the kid was detained until his father came to get a very passionate and they just remember how the parents came to the church point and bed it was dark they begged us to release their kids. and now the target of the new law is the best celeb human rights group. during the discussion of the new legislation one of the lawmakers surely your form of each chord the initiators of the law cowards for trying to keep students away from different opinions and particularly n.g.o.s they don't like breaking the silence is not against i.d.f. soldiers breaking the silence are i.d.f. soldiers i.d.f. soldiers who return from the territories and tell us the reality of military rule.
4:18 am
proponents of the law say they did it for good cause and the only intention is to cherish its weighty values israel's very kishen system does not only aspire towards his students coalesced to get cheap mints and greet but rather is also responsible by virtue of the law for the values it instills that breaking the silence into a more alarming picture it's their greatest restriction on freedom of expression for political grounds or on political grounds or a political reason for existing israeli law this is the end of a great exercise i've been open society and it's all being done for one reason for silent criticism of the occupation and. they've been grassroots protests from some schools and the principal of the school in north tel aviv to one it says that the new law will not stop him from telling his students both sides of the israeli palestinian story as a principal as an educator it is my duty to stand up and say no more these laws are
