11:00 am
from sanctions to syria russia's security chief meets his american counterpart for talks in geneva but one topic interested journalists more than others. but there are you ever concerned that iran's president is a security risk of course not i mean that's a silly question. hundreds of pages groups and a cons linked to or run on russia for alleged political meddling also ahead on the program. video of a british policeman slapping a teenage girl during
11:01 am
a rant causes only to rage and triggers debate over what constitutes reasonable force. two grown place officers can find a way of restraining a fourteen year old go back to them. i tell those fourteen year old girls just like anybody else. this is our chief international coming live from moscow every hour of the day lines you know when you get your company our top story facebook is opening. its crusade against fake news hundreds of pages it claims are linked to iran and russia for allegedly trying to sway political opinion here. thanks for joining us i believe that franco with your latest. it is in the world
11:02 am
with social facebook and twitter got rid of suspicious accounts doing fakes and propaganda from iran the troll factories not only after the minds of the americans but users all over the world it's claimed to be run by iran's government media. not us that those by. them through. facebook already enables users to check if they've been exposed to russian valsin trolls how many trolls does it take to incite i've evolution scores of so-called russian bots took over twitter and facebook some stories never seem to die well this facebook slash twitter online police raid is an actual news story this week yeah you can take plenty of the earlier reports replace the word russia with iran and get pretty much identical stuff all right speaking of facebook this time it bad six hundred twenty five pages
11:03 am
traced to iran and an unknown number of pages linked to russia it just wouldn't work if russia didn't get mentioned and the reason for this verdict is we removed multiple pages groups and accounts for coordinated in authentic behavior on facebook and instagram what kind of sin is this in authentic behavior let's hear from zuck speedball they use similar tactics by creating networks of accounts to mislead others about who they were and what they were doing we ban this kind of behavior because we want people to be able to trust the connections they make on facebook. the issue of trusting what pops out at you from the internet it's almost as old as i am asking where we should meet. it seems like you're chatting with somebody just like yourself not only even if they show a picture of themselves it may not really be who they say they are it could be
11:04 am
somebody dangerous i'm not trying to say criminals who take advantage of online platforms shouldn't be banned or prosecuted but dear facebook the way the internet and social networks have worked for years is that users can be who they want to be online who said they must stick to what someone thinks is authentic behavior what if i want to be an elf or santa or a real news hound my now going to be blamed for an authentic behavior and get a red card sooner or later i. universe. will come to the us as for all the things they can do i. may stay because of all the things they can well looks like online platforms will force us to adjust to a new reality where
11:05 am
a step away from your genuine behavior may lead to a ben or some distinguished fact checkers will tell you who you should or shouldn't trust how's this for a policy update facebook's just announced it will assess how good or how bad their users are at flagging fake news we developed a process to protect against people indiscriminately flagging news is fake and attempting to game the system the reason we do this is to make sure that our fight against misinformation is as effective as possible i think it's political pressure i think it really comes down to that they are putting themselves. in the position of mediating human relationships which is first of all a very unhealthy thing to do and it's something that they really are grossly. incompetent to do the users primarily will not know what is being done to them and
11:06 am
they will be manipulated in all sorts of ways we don't know what kind of ways so next time when he choose to complain about a post online think twice what if the fact checkers disagree in fact whatever you do they're better think twice or some of the latest figures suggest the social media site may be losing some of its sparkle one ranking service has calculated the amount of time visitors spent on the platform saying that it's now down ten percent it also reveals that visitor interest is slipping facebook are yet to respond to a request for comment. the u.s. national security adviser and his russian counterpart have wrapped up more than five hours of talks in geneva but john bolton didn't give much detail away to reporters a short news briefing around an hour ago artie's peter all of our brought me more in this. well this meeting of national security advisors was well the groundwork
11:07 am
was laid for it when the president met in helsinki last month today they covered the whole range of pretty much what had been touched upon in helsinki they talked about a nuclear nonproliferation they talked about cyber attacks they talked about the situation in syria in afghanistan and in ukraine as well john bolton said that progress had been made on some of these issues but there was still certainly some work to be done and many others of than this meeting of course comes when relations between moscow and washington are at a particularly low ebb with sanctions from the united states against russia looming over the poisoning of said in the united kingdom earlier this year russia denies any role in the attempts on mr pyles life i whether these sanctions have come directly from president trump he said he needs these sanctions to try and normalize relations and they were certainly hanging over it seems the meeting that took place
11:08 am
between national security advisors of the u.s. and russia when it came to the iranian sanctions in the iran nuclear deal john bolton unequivocal who saying that the will be sanctions put in place against iran doing business with iran and that the sanctions are coming in november and he's in the russian side didn't ask for any exemptions during the meeting today that the u.s. side aren't expecting to give many exemptions at all they also talked about a rainy in troops in syria mr bolton saying that he wanted to see both as he put it regular and irregular rainy in troops removed from syria pulled back from syria the russian side going into this it already said that they were in support of this but that this wasn't something that was going to be happening immediately from the u.s. side they certainly seemed to be wanting to push that. through a little quicker than they were hearing from from the russian side but as with any
11:09 am
of these meetings when it comes to senior figures within the trump white house and within the trump of the trumpet ministration there were questions about russian meddling and this quote this time well it was no different whether you ever concerned that iran's president is a security risk of course i mean that's a silly question. and i just spoke to a morally a few minutes ago and. we have performed here in exactly the way i think the two leaders would have expected us to and you know i honestly have a little faith in the american people who elected him president thank you very much we waited hours in hours for mr bolton to coleman and speak to us it was very short not so sweet at the end there following that question from a colleague from the b.b.c. it's worth noting that after that one of mr bolton stuff came along pulled her to one side and told well the question was ridiculous and that they wouldn't be
11:10 am
working with their organization in the future that shocked quite a few of the geneva diplomatic press corps. but this me thing between the two national security advisers it it didn't result in any major breakthroughs we weren't really expecting not but where they agreed they still agree where there's disagreement well there's certainly still discord between washington and moscow as it stands at the moment. britain's opposition leaders sees the public's losing cross with the news media and say he's got big plans to revamp the b.b.c. germy corp and broadcaster should be freed of government control now as he lambasted other media bosses for screwing the news agenda on and off line. prints too often serves the broadcast agenda even though it is worded so firmly to the tories politically and to corporate interests more generally the cozy relationship between senior press and broadcasting executives media owners and
11:11 am
indeed senior politicians b.b.c. could be and is i believe tacitly influenced by government u.k. opposition leader jeremy organs there presenting his views on the state of the media today and how exactly it should move forward now in terms of what he had to say about the b.b.c. despite praising this is a very important british institution he did go want to see that he believes it's time for some changes including the reduction of political influence and the b.b.c. being freed from government control he said it needs to be democratized more independent and more representative and this was part of the bigger picture he was painting about the state of affairs when it comes to the media and the press in the u.k. he did talk quite a bit about this relationship that he sees as a little bit too close for comfort he did see that he believes much of the press isn't very free at all the british press is the least trusted in europe including
11:12 am
normally you countries like north macedonia and serbia the worry about new forms of news and we've heard plenty of that we've ignored the fact that most of our citizens think our newspapers churn out what they believe to be fake news every day well apart from proposals about putting in place a revamp for the b.b.c. opposition leader corben also work talked about the need to increase the influence of public interest journalism as well as local newspapers that he sees as now being quite underfunded and not being able to properly function while they're an important part of communities around this country he also said there should be a creation of a british digital corporation and overall said he believes that the public should have more control of the press in the media as opposed to those in power in terms of a statement on the b.b.c. we did reach out to them for commentary and they told us they are not commenting on
11:13 am
this topic. rice thing in the u.k. video has emerged of a british police officer slapping a fourteen year old girl during an arrest the images soon spread online dividing public opinion please be aware that the video does contain scenes of violence. if your god was going to. get around it was sure it was ok pressure was mind you this was a guy that was your question. to my police say they were responding to a disturbance involving youths fighting down while attempting to get the girl under control a male officer struck the teenager in the face it's claimed that it was in response to her trying to grab his taser on police radio the girl and
11:14 am
a fifty two year old woman were arrested on suspicion of assault two officers had to receive medical treatment for bites on your cell little of the reaction there's been to be. why would a fully grown man police officer need to palm strike a fourteen year old girl the video shows nothing more than police brutality the officers in question need sacking the open palm head was to disorientate her so they could get her arms she was being very violent to my opinion i'm not force was very necessary agent john donne no excuses for resisting arrest there's no deserved or not about it he used adequate force to protect himself and detain the suspect or police chiefs justify the officer's actions saying the video does not give a full picture of the situation. we understand this fish man pier concerning however officers are trained to use restraint economics which may look shocking to
11:15 am
untrained on will curse you know a lot of people are coming down either side of the fence on this one earlier on r t four british police inspector peter kirk among social justice campaigner george barda they went head to head on the instant. clearly to many people like myself it seems that there must have been a better way of dealing with that situation than bashing that girl in the head in bashing the head into a metal shutter to grown place officers can find a way of restraining a fourteen year old girl back to them but i'll tell you what you say tell us i just tell us if that's why this is this is wise and tell us your the police officer you tell me the only alternatives available to the officer that i could see were allowed to keep a name and snatching his taser and radio which wasn't very good well take it to the ground and then you'd be moaning about heavy police officers on a four year old girl on the ground and if the officers use of force isn't right then he would be prosecuted or disciplined for it that act of bashing that will
11:16 am
bashing that girl in the head and i do think it makes a difference that she was a forty year ago if she was a you know six foot four man i think it be a different situation in terms of the place where i think if the police aren't trained to deal with fourteen year old girls that are being violent in ways that don't require them to bash them in their heads into metal metal shutters soon as any police officer uses any force whatsoever it's described as police brutality which it isn't you also keep saying for a girl like that has any relevance fourteen year old girls can calls are just like anybody else telling me that two grown police officers two grown police officers with four limbs to deal with on one person they can't restrain those four limbs and and the body without bashing the head into mental chatter and to go back to a point i made before and i don't for you this wasn't about having a hate to a man you should have talked about. this is about recognizing that if the police can respond to a video like that with a with period defensiveness i think the problems are only going to get worse
11:17 am
between sections of the public they already have a lot of doubts about the police black clothes matter in the us for instance it's not as if the police haven't been brutalizing people for many years it's that people now have smartphones and can record it you would be better off supporting the police into. going to keep older and questioning why full ten year old girls of brawling in the street with the children of that age instead of questioning the actions of the police doing their best to deal with that situation on the way the plan in europe to skirt around u.s. sanctions pressure by helping the banks break free they details when we come back. when lawmakers manufacture consent to the public wealth. when the
11:18 am
ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. nor middle of the room sick. in a world of big partisan movies. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.
11:19 am
nineteen minutes into the program welcome back now something you would have taken seriously only had number of months ago alternatives to the swift banking payments system has now become a legitimate discussion topic in the e.u. here's the german foreign minister floating the idea of an independent system where the us crosses a red lines we as a europeans must counterbalance as hard as that is it is indispensable that would strengthen the european autonomy by creating payment channels that are independent of the united states a european monetary fund and an independence we system. swift which stands for the society for worldwide inter-bank financial tamil communications is a global payment network it's designed to secure transactions between banks in
11:20 am
compas is eleven thousand financial institutions in two hundred nations swift claims political neutrality but has apparently caved in to american pressure in the past well since to washington withdrew from the iran nuclear deal and reimpose sanctions against tehran swith has been left with a choice cut off iranian banks from its network by early november or face an asset freeze troubled bombs and restrictions to do business in america a german m.p. from the f.t. party thinks that although the foreign minister's call makes sense it's come at the wrong time the one who controls finance controls everything so in this sense it was the key to goal of mr marson making europe germany a more independent by creating its own financial system its strategic goal that house its right to exist but please we have to to take into account
11:21 am
possible reactions from the united states won't be fond of this idea and we cannot afford to ruin the ties with the united states at the same time when europe itself has deteriorated his through relations with russia sold the baldness of mr mass it's not in the right time and not at the right place or the europe is one of america's closest allies the kind of treatment the e.u. has been receiving from the u.s. of late isn't exactly what you'd call friendly. the united states well with the draw from the iran nuclear deal that diminishes compliments of the international order in it is never good for us to
11:22 am
break the laws that we ourselves helped to create. we saying things to them they say no thank you we don't take you start free trade debt stupid trade so now we will also impose import tariffs we can also do stupid things we also have to be this stupid and. we expect that you are peons will see this business as a load seen the choice between doing business with a run a business with the united states. through people have been killed and another seriously injured in a knife attack in part this french authorities are not considering it an act of terror. they could have the attack it had serious psychiatric problems prosecutors are not treating it as a terrorist case of the moment till or brothers the spider islamic state claiming
11:23 am
it was behind the attack the incident happened in the western suburb of the french capital near verse the two killed were confirmed to be the knifeman mother and sister he reportedly shot a gold is greatest in or a brick and was eventually shot dead by police at the scene some french media are naming the killers come s. and was convicted of inciting terrorism in twenty sixteen and spent time in prison . prison inmates across the us are protesting against what they call modern day slavery they are demanding humane conditions under a wing peaceful sit ins on hunger strikes in the protest was organized to mark a deadly riot in a maximum security prison in south carolina in april seven inmates were killed more than a dozen injured in a riot which the media described as a senseless ah pricing prisoner say it could have been avoided if the correctional facility hadn't been overcrowded conditions were better only inmates have several
11:24 am
demands an end to prison slavery and a proper wage prisoners are put to work in rules such as cleaning cooking and lawn morning sometimes for as little as four cents an hour they also claim that black inmates get half your sentences and are denied parole because of skin color they also want more rehabilitation and medical services paul right from the human rights defense center thinks that prisoners are being deprived of essential treatment. but government this country has for the past forty years as a war upon a very anti human rights crusade against people who've been accused of crimes or convicted of crimes of this country prisoners routinely died from medical legal acts because they don't receive treatment for very basic medical conditions mentally ill prisoners languish in perfect conditions where they don't receive treatment for their mental health is illnesses you don't see such huge percentages of prison populations dying of preventable causes in the countries of
11:25 am
industrialized prisons even in third world prisons. you know such death rates are all but i've heard of in the u.s. now has the world's largest prison population two point three million inmates campaigners say the jails there have five times as many prisoners as other industrialized nations nearly one american adult in every one hundred has served time paul right again thinks that it's a government decision to deprive the inmates something rights. one of these that pervades the criminal justice system in the united states at the judicial level is bias in favor of the government and that comes your anything from people accused of crimes to preserve challenging their conditions of confinement that's one of the main problems it's very much a governmental decision that's been made to not provide adequate medical care to not provide out of that mental health care treatment to not provide educational opportunities to enslave the people within the system to brutalize them and to deprive them of basic human rights these are all government decisions that have
11:26 am
