for facebook in response to potentially the worst security breach in the company's history over fifty million users being directly affected. a warm welcome to our team international live from moscow every hour of the take. the top story russia's foreign minister has wrapped up his participation at the u.n. general assembly on friday with an attack on western foreign policy. condemned what he called a parochial self serving ambitions of a small group of countries and said those states are undermining the organization and its principles from new york with the reports. sergey lavrov saved all here in russia had to say to the rest of the world for his final day in new

york the foreign minister kept himself within the boundaries of diplomatic language however his criticism and told a war. the number of western states the seeking to preserve the self-proclaimed status of global leaders and prevent a natural transition to a multi-polar world order to that means including political blackmail economic pressure and brute force such activities lead to devaluation of international law the international community has paid dearly for the self-serving ambitions of these countries diplomacy a culture of negotiation and compromise have been replaced by unilateral restrictions like un security council approval such actions are not just illegal but also just ineffective like that long serious statement the press conference where a surrogate covered the same global issues happened to be an event where the audience

had a giggle a few times so there is a policy new policy now of the land express creation in south africa that that they're implementing is a parliamentary process people could lose their farms without compensation and there's talk that russia is trying to take the gap if you will and some of those described. the law in the election was. no time for this you know and so too far too far but what you're saying stabilize yemen iraq syria and iran it seems as if to bring peace to these countries you have to completely eradicate rini and influence there how realistic is that it's not for me to george but it seems to me you can't look at a country with such history civilization. and people inside its borders like in a cage saying you cannot be of the stick and expecting them to stay within their

own borders why would you support such expansionism and particularly the united states as you know that's cause for the us is born this is what you just said you just said no get on can't i said you can look the limits. i mean you can look around them its own borders and prevent that influence i would side with saudi arabia has its influence like caught the results of some things that's what those while the most awaited speaker and this building and also at the un security council was still president trump this year his pick for the planet's greatest evil was around but the rest of the world didn't fall for it and even america's allies in europe didn't. pointed that out once again and said that moscow will continue working with china and the major players to do everything to preserve the so

called iran nuclear agreement when i spoke to the person in charge of dealing with the media at the russian foreign ministry she couldn't help talking about how it all took president twelve months to make a complete u. turn when it comes to his take on a little rocket man kim according to marie is a harvard there's still loads of room for improvement for the u.s. administration for many years most of korea was in medieval and this country and. the leaders of this country and the country itself and the people of this country it was mentioned as the world's hugest problem and the evil was the world which was used to describe the country and now yeah and now i think that you heard mr trump think several times career so what hap. and to the city and eyes not not korea has changed nothing like that happened but united states changed

their position then their policy toward it and north korea probably the they can use this similar approach to iran and the things will go there yeah who knows what kind of twists and turns another year will bring about franco in new york well we asked former american diplomat jim judge chris what he thoughts about the remarks from russia's foreign minister noticed. mr lover of tends to be very diplomatic very polite very gentlemanly in his expression but i did notice a certain level of impatience today that he i think his patients has been tried one time too many yes we are talking about whether or not we will we will continue down this road of the united states seeking. in a very sterile way and destructive way to hold on to this notion of global hegemony or whether there will be a peaceful and national natural transition to

a more more multi-polar world so far we don't see the people making policy in washington willing to make that transition and i think that is something extremely dangerous and i think maybe that partly accounts for mr lover of sense of impatience but says we touched the poll most attention this year's u.n. general assembly was paid to the american president here donald trump's remarks went with the diplomats. less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any

administration in the history of our country. america hears so true. i. didn't expect that reaction but that so. many will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change course. but all nations of the world should resist socialism. and the misery. that it brings i am the first president ever to challenge china on trade. and its not diplomatic and they find it funny. they were laughing at me they were laughing with me we had fun.

old rivalries were reignited at the u.n. general assembly to be israeli prime minister announced he had knowledge of a secret iranian atomic us well to run it saying rather it was israel which was the only country in the region with nuclear weapons backing up the story rough guess the. the general assembly is never dull the drama threats ultimatums and i q's ations but few relationships are as heartfelt or as emotional as radioactive as the one between israel and iran and dicks disclosing for the first time. that iran has another secret facility into iran a secret atomic warehouse for storing massive amounts of equipment and material

for me secret nuclear weapons program with this now traditional back and forth you will never have to wait long for response no arts and crafts show will never of frisky that is really is only regime in our region with the secret undeclared nuclear weapons program including an actual atomic arsenal time for israel to fess up and open its illegal nuclear weapons program to international inspectors fair play to israel has a policy of nuclear ambiguity where it neither confirms law denies its nuclear weapon program and an arsenal of nukes yes no question for you does israel have nuclear capabilities and nuclear weapons yes or no. we've always said that we won't be the first to introduce who we have been introduced so here's what we actually know about israel's nuclear hobby it's one of only five nations not to have signed the nuclear nonproliferation treaty the cia

reported that israel had its first nuclear almost half a century ago well you know they got one nuclear weapon israel has what three hundred or more nobody knows exactly how many in one thousand eighty six former technician mordechai vanunu spilled the beans revealed the location and details of israel's secrets nuclear complex photographs of the control room and information about how a nuclear warheads were assembled in a covert six story deep underground complex there's troubles midst of a new new was kidnapped in room by israeli agents and taken back home charges included treason espionage intent to impair national security he spent eighteen years in jail eleven of them in solitary confinement israel wasn't happy. not very well to have to bomb everyone know if he said i have two hundred bumps i

don't. know a medic i know you don't know anyone know there's a ron have a point should israel come out of the closet with its radioactive little secret perhaps but while no one knows for sure the israeli prime minister can continue to log about thinly veiled threats that would give a geiger counter a seizure while standing in front of his nuclear weapons in a bar or research center. human whoever threatens us with destruction puts themselves in similar danger and in any case will not achieve his goal. is an absence of a sad and tragic absence of any movement toward a middle east peace process. yes and missed in it then you know instead of coming to the u.n. and that this scene dismayed g.e. should that he is responsible for more than anybody else in the world he just

zeroes in and focuses on iran demonizes iran and that's not washing in with anyone in the world community today and we saw that there was a very muted reaction to all the good reasons. for the vote donald trump's controversial pick for the supreme court has been postponed once again that's after the senate committee decided to give the f.b.i. one week to investigate the accusations of sexual assault leveled against brett kavanaugh a charge he strongly denies the president himself has ordered an investigation into the claims well it is yet another delay in one of the most divisive confirmation hearings in american political history fills our gallus from wonderland around here rather than working with us my democratic colleagues chose not to participate in this process and yet again and again their refrain has been the same delay delay delay i'm very disappointed that we are here today voting on this nomination this

supposed to be an independent equal branch of government we're no longer that we are now in a very we are of the trump white house is the beginning. of a process. that will tear this country apart the u.s. senate judiciary committee has been conducting confirmation hearings for brett kavanaugh nominated to be a supreme court justice by donald trump they took a vote to take the nomination of brett cavanagh to the floor of the u.s. senate now as the vote was preparing we saw kind of a last minute proposal from republican senator jeff flake he proposed essentially that a final vote on the floor of the senate wouldn't take place until the f.b.i. had been able to do an investigation i do think that we can. have

a short pause and make sure that the f.b.i. can investigate and i understand it is that some of us would have to and i'm prepared to do it make a request to the white house to ask the f.b.i. to do that investigation it would be short. and limited in scope to the current allegations that have been made i would like to support the motion for that investigation i've explained many times a mother if the investigation is not necessary the nomination of brett kavanaugh has certainly divided the united states of america both sides very fired up about it and it appears that next week we will have a final vote in the u.s. senate regarding his confirmation as a supreme court justice in the united states the highest court in the land but it has been quite contentious protests all around capitol hill lots of accusations on both sides lots of anger. well the scandal surrounding judge kavanaugh house

triggered a severe partisan feud in the us republican senator lindsey graham's comments in front of the senate judiciary committee hearing on thursday really captured the current level of the in washington in a bitter tirade he accused the democrats of a cynical attempt to do a real calvinist nomination what you want to do is destroy this guy's life hold this seat open this is the most an ethical sham since i've been in politics and if you really wanted to know the truth you sure as hell what i've done and what you've done to this guy well senator graham staunch defense of bread calvin all has drawn criticism as well american comedian chelsea handler even claimed that graham is being blocked me old by moscow it's the spike the graham is a are known for his antti russian stance in the senate they're trying to break the bad of democracies they're doing worse things in other countries they're trying to

get us to fight among ourselves and here's what we should do we should tell the russians in no uncertain terms you interfere in our elections we don't care why we're going to hit you in here too hard in russia. it's not a normal country where media and legal analysts lionel told us that russia blackmail claim against senator graham is nothing but absurd. the idea is so specious. they're suggesting that that the russians have this man through blackmail they blackmail senator graham one of the most staunch heretofore in some cases the russian senator to speak on behalf of the president trumps nominee who is a republican as he is this this is not the way blackmail works as easy as blackmail imagine me blackmailing you to say something or do something if you're going to do

anyway it doesn't make any sense this is an example of how people in our country here the so-called elite the intelligentsia the the shanty hollyweird the i guess the liberal if you well at your tame and arm of american entertainment factions all of a sudden they feel impelled then compelled and able to comment on issues they know nothing about. further protests something suborder has seen seven palestinians including two children killed by the israeli military on brit's more demonstrators were injured. yeah the role you're seeing here was part of the great march of return protests

campaign which began back in march demonstrators are calling for the right to take over territory big plane israel has seized they also want an end to a crippling it's really a gyptian blockade imposed in two thousand and seven after it is to miss militant groups must forcefully took over power in the and since the protests began earlier this year over one hundred ninety protesters are being killed more than a. and wounded one israeli soldier has been killed during the temple's. was really forces defended its actions claiming that bombs and grenades had been thrown out soldiers on friday. it did what was necessary to protect israeli civilians israel also alleges that hamas use the protests cover to breach the border fence. one rough day for a silicon valley's test on facebook as both the tech giants see a huge drop insurers overnight we've got the reason why after this.

the u.s. is trying to control the european banking system remember them post back that every single european bank had a record of every single customer every single transaction especially one through the u.s. dollar and the u.s. pows their u.s. dollar base had germany all over the world now european nation nations are saying no we're not going to be

a part of the some clarity more because we need the box we need the money we're not we don't believe in your propaganda we don't think that your sanctions on iran have merit for any reason so we're just going to bypass them because. twenty one minutes into the program welcome back facebook is facing a lawsuit over its apartment in the pilot's seat to keep its users personal information secure it comes in response to the company's worst security breach in which over fifty million accounts may have been compromised. our engineering team discovered a security issue affecting almost fifty million accounts is clear the attack is exploited a vulnerability in facebook's code does allow them to take over people's accounts

facebook admitting and choose day that their platform was breached fifty million accounts affected a further forty million also having their passwords changed so that's nineteen million people in total facebook releasing a statement saying that those accounts could have been used by people with the ferias tensions and that at this early stage of their investigation they don't know who these people are or where they're based who carried out this attack and naturally that's led to anger being expressed on other social media platforms oh my god someone besides through facebook was willing to sell your info to me have you in food herbal time i knew something was up last night when i signed there has occurred in line at clicked on to now been logged out of my accountant and contrapuntal my passport time to change it again if they refused to protect those dimona tice consumers clients should quit in possibly the should be put out of

business now it's been a tough year for facebook earlier this year they teamed up with the atlantic council of the american think tank to combat what they said was fake news but that's led to accusations by many that they're only cracking down on certain types of facebook pages and that that is an infringement of free speech also earlier this year facebook coming under attack and under heavy criticism for their links with cambridge the little where millions of facebook users data was accessed and used for political purposes by the company and that led to the founder of the company mark zuckerberg releasing a statement conceded that the company must do better we have a responsibility to protect your data and if we can't and we don't deserve to serve you. so it's been a tough year for facebook and what comes next is important if mr zuckerberg and his team want to rebuild trust in the social media giant facebook has fix the issues

both the company's shares fell on its c.e.o. mark zuckerberg net worth plunged by two billion dollars a security researcher we spoke to thinks the heart could in fact have been much worse and that facebook must keep working on both string it security. because an awful lot of infrastructure an awful lot of users to protect and watch the fifty million users impacted by this plus the additional forty million they've taken extra measures to protect us still only a few percent of facebook's total user base so whilst this is a very large breach it could have been a lot worse i think that any effort that they can point to bettering their stance on security is always good in terms of how effective that will be we can only really wait and see what the outcome of the eyes as we progress into the future. posting what the tech theme another giant of the industry tesla lost one of the half billion dollars overnight after funder was accused of fraud by the u.s.

securities and exchange commission. clearly made a mistake and is obviously one of the great entrepreneurs of our generation and they may call themselves wildly successful but they've never made a profit without even any sort of real knowledge important back so what's probably should get a lot more sleep and probably should be a lot more careful before he tweets i'm just saying this rolling the dice nothing wrong with the automobiles that are foreign but the business is a un mitigated aster well in a tweet dated august the seventy lawn musk announced he was considering to contest the private proposed a price of four hundred twenty dollars per share adding that he had secured sufficient funding to do so he also expressed high hopes for all existing shareholders to endorse that idea the f.c.c. whoever picked up on an odd expected and surprisingly take a look at this will age that must could have arrived at the price of four hundred

twenty dollars by assuming a twenty percent premium of tesla's then the existing share price and then rounding up to four hundred twenty because of the significance of that number in marijuana culture and his belief that his go for end would be amused by it well this really is the picture tesla stock has been falling since early august when musk posted his tweet shares were three hundred eighty dollars but on thursday the company's stock closed more than one hundred dollars done nothing the f.c.c. accused musk of fraud. if the odds are probably in your favor you should make as many decisions as possible within the bounds of what is executable this is like being in the house in vegas probability is the most powerful force in the universe which is why the house always wins be the house. stock exchange commission it's going to actually look at whether this was within the rules and regulations around reporting market sensitive information which is strictly not the way it should be

done but also i think they're going to be most horrified at the lack of clarity and possibly accuracy because sometime later it was found that they weren't going to be going private so he's got a lot of questions to answer here in the case of mr musk he is obviously a very well known charismatic personality but there is a some concern that he's a little bit erratic and some of the announcements that he's made either in relation to the firm or a recent tweet that he made about a cave diver. somewhat erratic and not what you would expect from the sort of stable management that most companies require making their big business world bites digestible next it's been boston twenty four seven r.t. international scene you and thirty.
