for some markets thirty percent for one is your home with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit for sure and a rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars . but don't let the numbers over the world. the only numbers you need remembering the one you chose to miss the one and only. in with the old and the new washington announces renewed marriages all the wrong being called the toughest sanctions regime. after the fakes make it all to facebook as an independent test of the science

a new tool to curb misinformation discovers his fall from robots. and south korea orders japan to pay significant damage just to steel workers who were coerced into forced labor during the second world war we look at what's reigniting the country's cute. it's a level of all care in moscow and you're watching all the international live from last year with me and welcome to the program. enemy of being described as a tusk toughest sanctions regime ever the trumpet ministrations and the renewal of both new and old penalties on iran due to come into force on monday. has more on the implications. picture that trump tweeted after the statement on sanctions says it all really iran is entering a world of trouble in the mind of the us president so what will happen on monday

everything that was achieved under the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal will be no more piling on top of penalties imposed additionally by the trumpet ministration there were nineteen rounds of those these new sanctions will accelerate the highly successful effects of our sanctions that have already occurred the maximum pressure we impose is because the reality has dropped dramatically ronnie's cabin is in disarray and the iranian people are raising their voices even louder against a corrupt and hypocritical regime a lot of diplomatic achievement has been torn down by this back in twenty fifteen these so-called p. five plus one bloc of countries agreed to open global oil markets for iran's crude in exchange for to iran scrapping its nuclear program even though we run complied with all terms of the deal trump called a disastrous and pulled out unilaterally now with the final push the american leader has delivered while iran keeps abiding by all the demands of the twenty

fifteen deal makes while still shipping finance banking you name it really the u.s. hopes to put a damper on all keys sectors of iran's economy in total more than seven hundred entities including both individuals companies and even ships and aircraft will be banned from doing any business with iran bro if you exemptions here in their food or from a suitable industries but the list is not very long to be frank speaking of exemptions by the way the u.s. also seemed very concerned with the economic well being of its allies we want to achieve maximum pressure but we don't want to harm friends and allies from this you might assume bolton is talking about europe after all it likes to think of itself as america's biggest ally but up. just not the case and trump's advisor there was referring to asian and middle eastern countries we do know that the total of eight

states will be exempt from having to cut their businesses their business ties with iran and reportedly there's not a single european country on that list instead it's allegedly india iraq and other nations from those parts of the world another concern washington wants to allay a collapse of oil markets amid fears that prices will just skyrocket if iran's oil pipe runs dry iran's oil exports have already fallen by some eight hundred thousand barrels per day while america has enjoyed a comparable increase in its crude exports so according to the u.s. not to worry they're happy to fill in the gap putting out additional oil there in exchange for an extra buck. unlike the u.s. the european union has vowed to remain committed to the twenty fifteen iran deal in the brussels is working on like innocence to support businesses and to preserve the financial channels between the block and to ron we remain committed to implementing

the g c p o a as a matter of respecting international agreements and of our shared international security and expect iran to play a constructive role in this regard international relations experts have seen shall he says that many countries oppose u.s. measures against iran. they harmed the radian nation they have always been there for the past four decades and they've been harming the u. reigning nation all along their inquisition that's why many other. states that are under sanctions like russia like many others they are all against this move and especially because this new round of sanctions by washington it doesn't have the u.n. support it doesn't have the support of even the united states close allies like the europeans that have stated their opposition in defiance china turkey or russia and many others have defied the u.s. sanctions against iran and many are worried in washington that this could make

these sharp tool or weapon blunt and make you know take it off the menu even for future u.s. administrations if it goes ineffective closer to home but also being targeted with the firepower of american sanctions new matches have been announced against three latin american countries here's how the u.s. national security adviser described the left wing governments in chiba nicaragua and fantasy land. the troika of tyranny in this hemisphere cuba venezuela and nicaragua has finally met its match the press of regimes and ideologies forces of oppression to tallaght tarion ism and domination they worship a false we know their day of reckoning awaits a nicaraguan regime like venezuela and cuba will feel the full weight of america's robust sanctions regime we will no longer appease dictators and despots are sure

john bolton olsen went on to accuse the three nations of violating human rights describing them as a cradle of communism sanctions have become a key foreign policy tool of the trumpet ministration with recent threats against several of the world powers as. brawn for many decades has been the world's central banker of international terrorism russia has been aggressive giant ah to driving us to take you know money they're rebuilding the european union of course was set up to take advantage of the united states to attack our piggy bank great and you know what we can't let that happen canada what they've done to our dairy farm workers is a disgrace for me us diplomat told us he believes the sanctions policy could backfire. i think sometimes people in washington especially in congress think of sanctions as something we can do that short of an act of war and i favor the

position of former congressman ron paul who believes that sanctions are an act of war and they're all hostile actions the damage another country hurt their people sometimes result in the deaths of their people and it's morally legally politically wrong we're in the process of sanctioning almost everybody in the world that we don't like include the russians and the chinese and the venezuelans of the iranians and the syrians and so forth this is the way we deal with other countries and we're even threatening to sanction our own allies if they do business with russia for example cooperated with the building of nord stream too or if they buy energy from iran this is not a way to increase americans america's standing in the world and i think it will come it will come back to bite us so i think this will end up burning a lot of bridges not only with countries that we have problems with but even with our closest friends. people posing as political candidates russian charles and even i sell facebook struggling to live up to its turn sponsored by continuing to print

fake and thirty minutes from fake silla says the tech giant introduced a new tool last month to curb misinformation on its platform dial holkins takes a closer look at whether it's working on not remember how the zucker vowed to protect your news feed from fakes all you believe the biggest problem of modern times we're going to take a number of measures from building in deploying new ai tools that take down fake news to growing our security team to more than twenty thousand people to making it so that we verify every advertiser who's doing political an issue well the issues but again we can't prevent all governments from all interference but we can make it harder we can make it much harder and again baseball is unveiling a new so-called war room facebook has created what it's calling the war room we're . teams of patrolling for fake news misinformation and meddling after multiple scandals and a big brain storm but also it was finally found that i'll no shady sponsor can post

political ads without proper vetting verification social media joy and even made this sleek video to make sure you appreciate their efforts there was never anything that delivered this same kind of visibility into who paid for political content on facebook until today ads really add to politics they'll have information about who paid for them with crucial u.s. midterm elections just around the corner surely no one would be allowed to get the upper hand out of round the new controls except they did big time facebook's not meeting that higher standard of transparency we received the report by the book and claim they were paid for by major political figures in just about an hour past base because of a process that's a little awkward while a few posts slipping through the net could be understandable some of the ads were just obvious the journalist took me was allegedly shared by russian trolls back in twenty sixteen like this one jesus arm wrestling satan published it on

a page called ratatouille for senate disclose the funding as paid by islamic state you couldn't make it up this me was published in mike pence his name the page ninja turtles p a c in fact the only time advertising was denied was when they posed as hillary clinton or mark zuckerberg himself when asked how this could have happened facebook said well it isn't perfect but we'll try harder in four students isn't perfect and we weren't so poor people trying to game the system but we have made it much harder and we will continue to improve since then a near identical experiment took place with a similar result journalists managed to get approval for ads paid for by cambridge analytic or the notorious political consultancy banned from the site after dragging the come. twenty into a huge scandal earlier this year so there you have it two years of investigations congress hearings and political battles against all blind trolls and smart well

funded adversaries the result even more possibilities for ridiculous trolling what can't help but ask what is the problem with the state of american politics was the really in the dodgy ads this idea that it is now their responsibility and they're qualified to take on this responsibility to determine what is in isn't real news to determine what is in isn't valid political information to determine what is in is in free speech that's just ridiculous i mean it's absolutely ridiculous to to assume that this company should be in charge of that this idea that facebook is going to tell us what our real political ads quote unquote and what aren't and what is real news and what is in and what should be free speech and what shouldn't be giving them this overreaching censorship power is absolutely ridiculous. and easy relations between south korea and japan have suffered another blow tokyo

is outraged at a court ruling that awarded south korean steel workers eighty eight thousand dollars compensation the forced labor in the second world war and one of the men is still alive. i'm very sad and i'm crying a lot because i'm the only one left it could be pennies for a big company or a whole country's budget but see tokyo is really going to happen at the trial went in favor of the only plane of who was still alive all the other south koreans eligible for compensation for being pretty much sent as slaves to japan during world war two have passed away and i wish the verdict had come earlier he should had my husband would have seen it was a lifelong burden of his and it's really sad thanks to this. but the nodding sixty five agreement on wartime claims between the two countries and did that

meaning all disputes are in the past boom it took the storm fifty three years to break out with the precedent the anti japan sentiment in korea has been brewing for a while to juneau japan's even lost to communist china in a favor ability poll taken by south koreans last month tokyo was meant to take part in a naval event put on by so but the host said there was no way japanese ships would fly this flag associated with japan's military past so the sabur eyes navy cut loose and pulled out ever heard of k. pop now that's the kind of territory where you don't really expect to run into that kind of conflict. well after one of these girls sang the japanese anthem in front of the japanese

military koreans want to shut her down on t.v. there was even a petition for that on the president's website back to the nine hundred sixty five treaty ironically just three years ago the two countries leaders celebrated its fiftieth anniversary just so you know this woman then president. as the daughter of someone who signed the agreement she's now in jail. clearly changed. mistrust that exists between the countries and the still pain that exists throughout korea both north and south for the years of brutal occupation by imperial japan which was from one nine hundred ten to nine hundred forty five still linger and they there is not trust there is concern about a lot of past grievances and issues. with the u.s. midterm elections just around the corner new poll shows people believe both the

national media and the president all trump are responsible for dividing the country the numbers show sixty four percent think the media is to blame while fifty six percent say is the man in the white house the poll was conducted in the wake of a spate of attempted mail bombings and a shooting at a pennsylvania synagogue their cell came out just after the latest trying to condemning what he called the true enemy of the people. there is great anger in our country caused in part by inaccurate and even fraudulent reporting of the news the fake news media the true enemy of the people must stop the open and obvious hostility and report the news accurately and fairly that will do much to put out the flame response from america's mainstream outlets wasn't long in coming c.n.n. analyst john avlon compared trance rhetoric to a term used during the reign of terror in revolutionary france the enemy of the

people is a phrase you generally hear from u.s. presidents but it was used during the french revolution by radicals to describe their enemies who they often accused of get this spreading false news to divide or trouble the people. now it was live to chris but christopher chambers i mean to studies professor at georgetown university thanks for coming in to the program christopher now. do you believe the us media really has such a defies siv impact on american society. well it's we have to we have to differentiate between blame and responsibility here what we have with the american media the corporate media in the united states is a failure of responsibility they are not generating the hate the racism the division a lot of that is indeed coming from the white house and some of president trump's more extreme republican supporters the problem is that the american media rather

than defusing that rather than reporting accurately and quiet and calmly and educating people is inflating it into basically a circus atmosphere to get more ratings that's where we have a failure of responsibility they are creating it they are just fanning it so it becomes worse because of it i think he they mentioned a circus atmosphere if we look at the polling the recent poll numbers show sixty four percent think the media is to blame but still a high percentage fifty six percent say it's a man in the white house saying you know it's caught a quiet kind of haunted different shade his instigating this circus act that you talk about isn't it. well it is and it also depends on who you ask if you were to ask a lot of the people who answer these polls are older people who probably would favor the president if you asked younger americans they would probably say it's the

president however you know when you though those figures can move back and forth the problem is again everybody agrees that there is a failure of the mainstream media in this country to provide a rational calm and intellectual discourse you know to diffuse these these sentiments rather than put them center stage it's almost like if you have a crying. credibly bad child and. public row that take the child aside and explain to them what's going on the discipline the discipline that child behind closed doors you yell and scream and cry just like a child and everybody starts looking at you. here is that is the american mainstream media not doing its job making things more sensationalistic so more people will watch so it doesn't make things any better if what we have been watching this are going to chime fake news to send some verses mean mainstream

media saw there since almost the first day he took office and before if we recall that far back. in your opinion would it have been different if another person had won the elections and you know the closest we got was hillary clinton. well i mean she has her own bizarre relationship with the mainstream media in this country i think what you have here in the president is somebody who for decades before he was president had a very strange relationship with the media there was almost a rivalry yet they could not live without one another and i think that that's what you're seeing played out here in american politics now sadly are two entities that are rivals yet cannot exist without one another and. that is why you have a failure of responsibility on the media's part because the media is supposed to be

in the united states is supposed to be the watchdog that is the tradeoff for the protections that our first amendment gives the media the trade off is that you act responsibly and they're not doing that just because the president can say what he wants while he very often has been a creature of their own creation they provide him with the stage and then when he gets on the stage and says things they complain that he says things that they provide him the outlet for and this is been going on really for decades. with the president in new york locally and now that he's president on an international stage so they're the ones who have failed in their responsibility the president is the president he's going to do what he wants to do and we had fair warning of what kind of a leader he might be like the media was the one that created this atmosphere and should be the watchdog and should be the educator but they are not doing this they're

basically throwing gasoline on the fire and i mean you're only is describing a count dependent dysfunctional relationship there on christopher and yes yes i am if we look at the u.s. government obviously we know it's pointing the finger at the u.s. government and they've also put the blame for divisions in american society. on russia and china how credible as those. those comments to you. well i mean they're not credible i mean i think what the what the what is going on in american politics whether it's the white house or not is that you know americans have always needed other others as enemies other symbols as enemies. we don't like to look inward at ourselves we don't like mirrors me for example with the civil rights movement in the sixty's with african-americans the anti civil rights people

were always saying that it was russian communists who were backing martin luther king it wasn't you know they didn't want to see what was in front of them there always had to be an outward sneaky enemy out there and there isn't an outward sneaky enemy and again you know this is the mainstream media's fault they are supposed to be the educators this is their responsibility and they have not been ripper vibing that that service to the american people came when leave it and i'm sure we could talk about violence krisna chambers media studies professor at georgetown university saying to come on a five am. now four teenagers who are inmates at a u.s. juvenile detention center have won a near one hundred eighty thousand dollars settlement offer it was revealed gods forced them to take part in so-called fight nights the little suit says two guards let elses out of the cells and into a lodge of him to fight each other friends attainment but he didn't want to do

battle forced into pilots with tougher inmates while the guards watched as claimed the clashes took place weekly during a three month period in twenty sixteen altie more from the boy's attorney. there was a tradition that went back several years we were told and it was called fight night and on friday nights in particular two guards would let various young men out of their cells and pit them against one another in a particular room and let them take their shirts off and box in one would emerge from the room victorious and one would not and then there were several rounds on any given friday night the videos that we saw would show the the guards would be laughing and keeping watch so predominantly it was for entertainment of the guards ages of our clients were approximately sixteen and seventeen they were in the car with county juvenile justice center for various crimes nothing to outrageous or

horrific cuyahoga county authorities apologized. to each and every client except for one who didn't want to partake in this and we hope that there will be a policy change in this particular jail and hopefully jails across the united states. but just months to go before the european union's parliamentary elections polls are making easy meeting for the blocks ruling parties votes a preference seems to be very radical courses in what could lead to an unprecedented shake up in european politics. europe's political establishment is set up for a beating in may during the. mentary elections and with support to win doing for both the center right and the center left the big winners euro skeptic an anti migrant parties the feeding is that there's a kind of the extortion among voters because they feel that the traditional have nothing new to say they feel contempt from those voltages that it's not exactly always making them vote for populist but is making making voters do to anybody who

looks you french president emanuel macron took it upon himself to warn europe of a nationalistic menace comparing it to leprosy europe faces a risk that of being broken up by nationalist leprosy and of being pushed around by foreign powers and thereby losing its sovereignty but it seems like the french don't see eye to eye with micron right now a majority of people in france apparently would prefer an unelected technocratic government while over forty percent even say they would rather support and off for a terry and political power so this could be a wake up call for micron as his approval ratings hit record lows to move away from traditions and embrace public opinion so just a minute in the coal he did come from those filters but he had created his attitude and he was a change of face in the shape of generation but now that he's become president he's

got a slightly different style but in terms of what policies you again it sounds more and more like the policy is that everyone is as you age and they do not know how to express their discontent except have. sponsors again with mainstream parties and leaders who championed modern liberal values losing popularity we could have an electoral power vacuum but that won't stay empty for long and so for now i'll be back at the top of the hour with more but in the meantime check out our website that's on t. dot com not so next up on the air on our teams are still if i feed and care.
