2:01 am
ahead. is really war planes only strong in response to hundreds of missiles being fired from the enclave. line from moscow with the review of the big stories these past seven days this is the weekly on r t international alone welcome our top story it was a tense week for the british prime minister to resign may now she fought to weather a break that storm marked by resignations and growing calls for a vote of no confidence the party melt on happened after she unveiled her. plans on whedon's they threatening her deal or no deal. the choice before us is clear this
2:02 am
deal all leave with no deal all the all no bricks it at all within hours of revealing her draft break said plan to a cabinet ostensibly to secure its full backing to members abruptly quit including the briggs and secretary that was just the start in total seven ministers from trees and maze government resigned she also had to face a three hour mauling by m.p. . does the prime minister's still intend to put a false choice to parliament between her botched jail or no jail she and the labor party have only one intention that is to frustrate backstage and betrayed. you are not delivering the brakes people voted for and today you will lose the support of many conservative m.p. i'm only owns of voters across the country we could choose to leave with no deal we could risk no breaks it is all we can say.
2:03 am
i. or we can choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated this deal prime minister comes before us today trying to sell us the deal that is already dead in the water the reason why the people of this country are so fed up he's because they've been made so many promises none of which have been delivered on because they calm to be delivered to them yes difficult and sometimes uncomfortable decisions have had to be made i understand fully that there is some who are unhappy with those compromises but this deal delivers what people voted for and it's in the national interest. and we can only secure it if we unite behind the agreement reached in cabinet yesterday it's very hard to see her staying perhaps even beyond the weekend it's been a series of cabinet resignation the government minister resignations and parliamentary
2:04 am
private secretary resignations even the vice chairman of the conservative party itself has resigned saw it's very hard to see how someone who is dug in behind a great deal which seems to be almost friendless this is a failure is an orphan and success has a thousand parents world this deal look very much like an orphan to me today she's come up with this withdrawal agreement and nobody wants it doesn't satisfy the remain as who don't want to leave anyway and it doesn't satisfy the leavers because under it we don't really leave so no one's going to be happy about this i don't believe she can get it through parliament and of course it also has to come for the european parliament ukip any piece will vote against it i think other groups will vote against it here so i'd be surprised if it actually got through this parliament either people are deserted the tory party i've seen on twitter people tearing up
2:05 am
their cards and taking photographs so this deal doesn't actually satisfy any body. hearing plenty of drama in parliament during maze breaks that maelstrom in our tease online series in case you missed the. look at the events of westminster. there was something quite. ready because i have. in westminster as the cradle of britain's parliamentary democracy trying to get to grips with something to do with rights it. now this time the thing to do with drugs it is very serious and we know this because important ministers to do with greg that. they should all be including someone in charge of gregg's it going to actually
2:06 am
a display of confidence in himself was. good. wasn't it if you. look at any one minister with. looking. at these images to. say. look at. the moment the backstop is. basically we could. go to given the e.u. our backstop. should go home over seven eight eight seven . there are five hundred pages of something to do with brags that that person elected representatives are hearing inside this called a masterpiece. politically correct isn't that strange.
2:07 am
that. these guys. have no. pretending to know all about it in fact. about what's happening. we're not watching it it's fair to say that right now everyone's talking about it without having read it a little bit like the bible. or in peter's. c.z. once the banks start the ball i'm not sure. what's the mike stone. scuse me what's known in either. the budget or what is it you can only really think of my job to ask the questions. asking the questions why in case you're wondering what the box top is it is to prevent a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland you can read
2:08 am
more about the. newly declassified documents have revealed a cia program to develop a so-called truth serum it involved drugging prisoners who were able to withstand other interrogation techniques project medication was previously undisclosed element of this program in which in addition to the physical and psychological torture that the cia was engaged in several doctors decided to try to figure out whether they could also find some kind of truth serum that they would use against people's will to inject them with and make them talk well morocco's day of house more known the cia interrogation program how it evolved. it wasn't an isolated case or to an accident or oversight was government sanctioned systematic or that they were manuals instructions on how to inflict pain that's not a secret in the immediate aftermath of nine eleven we tortured some folks see
2:09 am
torture isn't only frowned upon because it's evil vile it's also ineffective problem number one imagine the cia's surprise when those people that they were putting through hell resisted grew used to it enhanced interrogation techniques were begun within six hours these progress from attention flaps and walling to confinement in both large about five hours and small about one hour book says and friendly to the waterboard amazingly resistant to waterboard what happened was that the victims and this is problem number two adapted to suffering cia's own words the prisoners began to see certain torture procedures as escape a break from other harsher measures what a conundrum here having slapped beaten confined and water boarded these people they
2:10 am
were getting results so they opted for something new something like a truth serum problem was once problem number three seriously illegal there were at least two legal obstacles approved mission against medical experimentation on prisoners and a ban on interrogation or use of mind altering drugs the question became moot since the legal department did not want to raise another issue with the department of justice problem number four revulsion cia tortures according to the torturers themselves the doctors others who were present were horrendous to watch the whole. experienced responsible medical officer did was visually and psychologically very uncomfortable for all those witnessing it the problem was so widespread and so serious that employees had to be counseled and then checked to make sure they were
2:11 am
still all right in the head after everything they had seen and done and they began only hiring people who had a stomach for torture let me be clear on what the cia doctors role was here when the cia tortures were torturing a prisoner for example by bought by waterboarding him say doctors would medically resuscitate the prisoner when he would become unconscious from too much torture what they did was allow the cia to continue torturing people over and over problem number five a lot of problems here journalists activists and juice they kept prime kept sniffing around digging up details and publicizing everything over the government the cia they resisted see for example how the document that revealed all of these looked initially when released under the freedom of information act in two thousand and sixteen not a lot of information in it it's almost like two fingers to the press sometimes
2:12 am
these court battles took year is that they got it out eventually. ancient history you might say we knew most of this plus it happened in the early two thousand lessons have been learned and this torture will never happen again. you think they said what do you think about waterboarding i said i like it a lot don't think that stuff oh no i. know it seems the so-called bromance between donald trump on the money with my crown is hitting this skids after the u.s. president to lash french counterpart on twitter on tuesday they'd have been or could all meeting in paris during commemorations marking this and ten array of the first world war on this this turned over his intentions to create a european wide army.
2:13 am
but it was germany and world was one and two how did that work out for france. they were starting to learn german in paris before the u.s. came along pay for nato no. thanks makes it very hard for the u.s. to send its winds into france and challenges big tariffs not the fact must change the problem is that emanuel suffers from a very low approval rating it's twenty six percent and unemployment rate of almost ten percent. make france great to get. one petition out but is it will be we need to use whom you can defend it so little move without depending only on the us you know we did exhibits greater sovereignty .
2:14 am
and we. think you. prefer. well putting that touchy feeling is to one side as well as taunting the french president on twitter donald trump also threatened whyn war he claimed america's wines are just as good a local that left a sour taste for many in france so what other choice had way to puff the temples to the test in paris. compulsive. new road full soon you roll through live on nothing no we don't you just move to reduce resume the pulse a real skill worth it. if you don't do. it in yourself and really
2:15 am
the whole thing coming. for coming on october and say our pool room. would be up we would go to that club but the other big celebrity had to do most of it a little more where the lives of the dizziness don't get very much detail that is so critical. and then he got up. a little bit said no both could be. in the only girl. in the circle but the bank would use it which she did so the verdict is a kind of pushy clear parisians preferred the whining from the us all her well maybe for once the don't rule has been vindicated as the one from his country seems to have trumped that from france so on this occasion from paris we admit defeat but
2:16 am
nevertheless we will always weighs a gloss and say so and say show that you can ski auti paris more of the week's news in a minute and a half. actually as a financial survival guide stacey let's learn a salad fill out let's say i'm not sure i get here please grease tom thanks for the fight street spot thank you for taking. on the story that's right. slavery. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guest of the

world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. picks for didn't top this is the phrase that has become a montra for many people but as more and more people get involved in visualizing the world around them always the story we tell ourselves about it's also changing. let's go back to monday for his really fighter jets struck palestinian targets after militants in gaza launched rockets mortar shells it appears to be the most intense escalation of hostilities in the region since twenty forty i think seven palestinians oneness really were killed many more wounded.
2:18 am
it's really defense minister of the door lieberman quit. in protest danny gans a ceasefire which he described as a capitulation to terror the u.n. security council held an emergency meeting on the conflict the day before in which the is really representative on palestinian observer where at loggerheads. duty council must only condemn hamas we condemn in the strongest possible terms this aggression by israel there is no such a thing both sides. but that's in the fire that is of the splot good
2:19 am
which is it more illegal. inhumane and we will continue to take any measure to measure necessary. people this round of violence was created as a result of a botched. desert ideally military operation in the gaza strip it's very interesting for me to hear the israeli ambassador speak about the gaza collation all of the victims except one of this round of escalation where palestinian all of the victims were inside gaza and not outside of the gaza strip israel bombed a t.v. station it bombed residential buildings it leveled them to the ground those are acts that are acts of terror because they did terrorize to. the latest round of escalation started because of a botched israeli undercover operation three kilometers deep inside
2:20 am
gaza that's how the escalation started with the israeli forces killing seven palestinians. ukraine's far right freedom party has organized the children summer camp although to some it might seem like more of a boot camp journalist from the associated press news agency visited the sites where youngsters live under strict rules on learn how to be soldiers. explains. now that's what i call a legit summer camp. that. both of you know about early morning wakeup calls. oh yes right by our. chance that kids will remember for the rest of their lives. was
2:21 am
catching march. welcome to the temper of will summer camp and western ukraine it's pretty much a boot camp hidden in the forest the people who set it up are from the national socialist. or freedom party so who can get enrolled officially it's for teens but a.p. journalists who went there say they saw children as young as eight here are being taught how to kill. just listen to this you know they can still. see a limitless new call then out of system but it used to know what i was doing he should post pickle fun things when one of them and it was a moment see with his mostly. but not only do they get to learn how to take down those who adults are calling russian invaders the kids are also taught to stand up to what the instructors see as degrading trends in the west.
2:22 am
of the us this. should make you. sell the walk if you will feel. so out of the. west that was. what may seem as an ugly display of far right shaw the brainwashing appears to get full support from the local administration well earlier this year kiev splashed some of its bug. youth projects the goal is to prop up what they call national patriotic education some of these projects are run by the stream far right. even the nato backed atlantica council think tank tried to raise international wariness with this article and indeed we didn't write that amnesty
2:23 am
international's pointing out the issues more than just critical ukraine is sinking into a kill sort of uncontrolled violence posed by radical groups and the total impunity practically no one in the country can feel safe under these conditions and if you're wondering if any of this could actually spill beyond ukraine well just lately and f.b.i. agents criminal complaint said ukrainian neo nazis were believed to have trained white supremacists in america just wait till some of these youngsters grow up. some background to this in january ukraine passed the law recognizing russia as quote an aggressor state and last week the ukrainian vice prime minister said his country is trying to build a strong democracy whereas the kremlin supports populist nationalist movements but journalist brian macconnell who has been monitoring the coverage of the ukraine
2:24 am
conflict since a rap did four years ago believes we may have reached a turning point. i'm just shocked that it's finally been reported in the west the main associated press have gone in there obviously a syndication agency so obviously that you know their copy then has to be reported in other mediums i'm pleasantly surprised that you know outfits like the washington post notably have covered it although some of the usual suspects you know the guardian and how close i doubt if ignored the story once again but that's not surprising but it's good that for the first time you know many readers. when western countries are finally learning something about what's really going on in western ukraine particular with these nationalist groups the way things work in the west is that you need pressure groups you know think tanks to kind of get on these bandwagons and kind of you know almost force the agenda and what's very interesting is here we've got children you know schoolchildren minors being trained to hate being trained to kill as being trained to fight and where is amnesty international where is human rights watch i mean they're not interested i mean where is the american embassy what it's supposed moral leadership you know lashing out against
2:25 am
this where the british embassy. pharmaceutical giants in focus next on the legacy of a knowledge drug in brazil no limits starts in moments. you know world of big partisan movies a lot 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 back and 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 for watching closely watching the hawks.
2:26 am
blushes and thanks to the cica total more than the beach he cut a hole close to senor he said it's not that he shouts that's that only shooting against. let him into. the utopia because you know sucky included a cliche you're a loser that i was called but i'm counting that in the scheme to show. for what you believe you shall use. in the us not to the south koreans you just tell them not to be some corn summed up all. the money which of the british mr worst level is your biggest.
2:27 am
nobody could see coming that confession would be in this population of people. is. probably a stretch. the process of interrogation is designed to put people in that frame of mind make the most comfortable make the want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept. she said therefore we. set the stage where i would be home by the next day there's a culture on the countability a police officer's job. that has nothing to do with.
2:28 am
the welcome to worlds apart pics or it didn't happen that's praise has more the confines of internet forums become a lot of dictum for a vast area of people young and old housewives to prime ministers as more and more people parts take in visualizing the world around them how is that changing the story we tell ourselves about ourselves to discuss that i'm now joined by a professor of computer science at the city university of new york. good to talk to thank you very much for your time thank you so much when you were into big data long before it became a household name and you use it specifically to analyze contemporary culture which i think is far more visualised and far more egalitarian that in any other time in
2:29 am
human history when anyone with a mobile phone or get the smartphone contribute how doesn't change the overall discourse. you're right around two thousand and five i have insight that. when they were had so many people creating culture and it was actually before social media took off and what i'm interested in is to expose was great. it is often this to assume that people people who create if i feel artist special artist living in places like most probably new york in my face is as red right millions of creative people often as people are more creative and maybe in a very small places in siberia even china in bolivia everywhere so how do we make it visible how they were being creative each year where products religion ations to surface have to make this new cultural world visible now from what i understand for a very long time suman visual culture was or at least the visible part of it was

defined primarily by the talent and by the artist as you said rather than the masses and the direction was. essentially turning their original into the mainstream is that still the case so there are multiple processes going on right if you look at but all of artificial intelligence for example in contemporary digital culture search engines recommendation systems you know which is building became very thick for those it's very easy to price you with this is going to lead to less cultural diversity but also mechanisms which perhaps can make it more they were resample spotify rights were largest music's the services as it is the study really showed with every month when number of different music artists were wishes and is listening to is increasing by a few percent wright says so it's possible.
