well. this weekend for saudi arabia to fully revealed what it knows about the dissident journalist disappears and. despite the growing controversy surrounding the case he's got no plans right now to stop sending weapons to riyadh i don't like the concept of stopping and invest one hundred. billion dollars into the united states . elsewhere facebook's investigating that left millions of users data vulnerable a day after launching a. hundreds of accounts. this is clearly a political move when you have these major tech companies supporting themselves as the gatekeepers of political thought we've been experiencing censorship throwing.
8:01 am
everything you need of. back to back thirty days times also germany's biggest state heads to the polls sunday with a right wing party predicted to get its first see the party members accused various leaders of. playbook. this is very well known among the journalists and also among the. kind of copying. of the weekend with me kevin no one welcome to thanks for joining us for this news update first then the u.s. is finding itself charting a tricky course this weekend over the disappearance of a dissident saudi journalist in turkey while president speaks about protecting america's multi-billion dollar business with the saudis the u.s. national security and. there is cautiously pushing for riyadh to swiftly share the
8:02 am
facts i think the saudis themselves are being damaged because we don't have the facts out there's obviously been historical animosity between turkey and saudi arabia we have our own difficulties with turkey at the moment jamal khashoggi was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul on october the second no one's hope for him since turkey is not officially accused of being involved but multiple reports claim its intelligence services have evidence that not only was kidnapped but also killed saudi arabia vehemently denies any involvement meantime there are several reports emerging that the u.s. reportedly knew of alleged saudi plans to capture because shogi news outlets are claiming the saudi crown prince ordered an operation to lure him to tell you name correspondent jacqueline bouvier discussed the allegations on the program earlier bullishly the trumpet ministration was rather slow in responding to the disappearance and this really may indicate why earlier in the week reports surface
8:03 am
that the u.s. had intercepts of saudi officials discussing a plot to lure him back to saudi arabia and detain him there now he's of course been living in the u.s. for about a year now at this point and he writes for the washington post he's a journalist and a lot of his articles are rather critical of the saudi government now it's unclear when the u.s. may have intercepted this intelligence and if they may have acted on it but it does raise quite a few questions not least of which being whether or not they had a responsibility to warn the journalist that his life might be in danger in some way shape or form now on wednesday a state department official did come out saying that they did not have any prior knowledge of the incident though again it's gone. i can see the united states had no advance knowledge of the show his disappearance. so while these reports are based on you know again unnamed sources more than one says to have confirmed them at this point and then one has to wonder whether or not this is
8:04 am
a situation where the left hand just doesn't know what the right is doing then in the u.s. government because at the same time we have a group of almost two dozen senators who are up in arms about the situation if we find out that they were complicit or the rest of the city is way. over the edge of like that is appropriate this is serious and if this did happen it is increasingly likely that something bad happened to this man at the hands of the saudi government has contempt for us. disrespectful to say i think it's important in this situation that we we don't overreact or on the react we need to get the facts and i know that's a startling proposition for the united states congress that we should get the facts before we act so we're pressure on the white house mounting to investigate can show his disappearance senators from both parties say it's time to stop selling weapons to saudi arabia the business sector is joining in to several firms have pulled out
8:05 am
of a saudi investment conference to be held later this month but donald trump yet anyway is an evil thing is caleb maupin reports. if you thought that the disappearance of a saudi journalist in turkey would hurt ties between riyadh and washington wrong military and diplomatic ties are closer than ever and donald trump recently spoke up about why that is i don't like the concept of stopping an investment of one hundred ten billion dollars into the united states. because you don't think that it is they're going to take that money and spend it at russia or china or someplace else the media was pretty shaken by his honesty if the saudis are responsible and this is the bully that everyone elected to push around world leaders said it would not be a good thing at all look at the messages he sent we don't mind dictatorship we have no interest in human rights in your country saudi has been a client of the united states close relationship for a long time the administration and saudi arabia figure that they were so
8:06 am
comfortable in their relationship with donald trump that that they can give the green light time seems to be admitting that u.s. policy in the middle east is not really about some moral impulse to spread freedom or humanitarian concerns he seems to be admitting that it's about money and selling military hardware the human rights record of saudi arabia has remained the same for decades but that's never stopped u.s. presidents from swooning over the saudi royal family. has a way of launching into truth tantrums unloading unspoken realities about international
8:07 am
relations for example this is his take on the u.s. invasion of iraq old expression to the victor belong the spoils you remember. he always used to say keep the oil if we kept you and you probably wouldn't have isis because that's where they made the money in the french place so we should keep the oil but ok trump recently acknowledged that south korea is not completely sovereign in its actions like one south korea rolled over the possibility of easing relations with the north well they won't do it without proof. they do nothing without proof so to be clear donald trump is not changing u.s. foreign policy he loves the saudis he loves bossing south korea around and he is not talking about cutting the huge military budget however he's getting rid of a lot of the smoke and mirrors and telling things as they actually are caleb mop and r.t. new york american rapper kanye west isn't someone to shies away from publicly saying what he thinks. and he stayed true to form when he got to meet his president in the oval office. i mean he's been a friend of mine for
8:08 am
a long time it was some of the time but it is how it made me feel like superman made of superman our favorite superhero oh this guy right here let me get this guy . i love this guy right here. ok i'm doing this for everybody who's watching us or trying the volume down if you can put back up against that one if you think you're wrong which that was what happened when negroes don't rate and then we have this now and kanye west is hardly a political philosopher and i've always believed that entertainers should first entertaining keep their politics separate from their art. i know before the white house did you also then smoke it up
8:09 am
a little bit in the bathroom when you were there i was trying to do it so you have to say i hate c.d.'s so. whenever you go to somebody's house you have to give them something old don't come empty handed so i. dream that states want to put your first wife. i mean. it's really really i. those books on the revealing some details about how can september the compromise millions of jews. the social media giant says it's working closely with the f.b.i.
8:10 am
to find out who was behind it the attackers already controlled a set of accounts which were connected to facebook friends they used an automated technique to move from account to account so they could steal the access tokens of those friends and for friends of those friends and so on totaling about four hundred thousand people originally fifty million users were estimated to have been affected but today that number was reduced to about thirty million now the hacker started with a group of about four hundred thousand people and then use those accounts to expand it to about thirty million people so one can imagine how alarmed users must be after in trusting their private information to facebook now the hacking resulted in fifteen million users having their names and contact details disclosed and dish and fourteen million had all their personal info disclosed but this isn't the first time this has happened to facebook of course earlier this year millions of users
8:11 am
were hacked by cambridge analytic a tech firm it's worth noting that the f.b.i. who is investigating the incident asked facebook not to discuss who could possibly be behind the attacks so it'll be interesting to see who they find responsible hopefully not the usual suspect they see corresponds because region where the government tomorrow sunday the right will turn into germany parties expected to into bavaria as poland for the first time according to polls looking at how the political landscape currently lies in the shoes of the. time is ticking away in the key german states of various states election campaigns come to a close even the polls say it's time for the. system party to angela merkel c.d.u. c.s.u. looks set to lose the dominance it held in bavaria to the second world war even taste and tradition is apparently losing its appeal.

8:16 am
you need to let the audience you need to let people decide what is the relevant to them you don't need to filter the self censoring so john author self censored himself he believes he knew better he believes he do with what the needs were of these folks and that self-censorship which is such a step in this is completely wrong and this is why we have been sleepwalking into the. crisis how john author's been a gonzo journalist have you been a proper new age journalist he not self-centered himself as this next crisis unfolds people would be better prepared to deal with it but they won't be because the failure of fake journalists like i. do cannot operate as united nations this is not just wouldn't but you n.d.p. world health organization and in fact other international organizations like the

8:18 am
evacuation capsule and powerful engines attached to it the engines are active fifteen minutes before launch if the flight gets out of control they propel the capsule away from the main body of the rocket that enables the crew to reach a safe distance in about four seconds parachutes then open to slow the capsules descent and ensure a safe landing this is the only system of its kind that is so deeply integrated in both the spacecraft and the launch vehicle the emergency system has been deployed eight times over the history of soyuz launches three of them were manned missions and the crew survived every time i get most of course i want to thank the rescue was and those who designed this cape system thanks to them came back to earth so i don't think it was a miracle i think it's professionalism i think it's optional technology tested and proven over many many years and also the actual humans just the the
8:19 am
emergency crews as you heard the only to get there in time and i'm sure what was happening in the council was was very professional the soyuz is. you know the ground now that it's been around forever it has proven itself repeatedly. and i think it's probably one or if not the safest human spacecraft in the world that the european space agency told us the agency will continue to use those rockets to and are ready to help in the ongoing investigation. is no change of plans so we are looking forwards to not only using so use for the next astronauts but also how some of our satellites so we do not see there is a change in plan the most important thing is now to find out who course and i hope that this can be done quickly and then we go just on. who was cross
