really warplanes called devastation in gaza in response to cross border rocket fire . are broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is r t international i'm john thomas certainly glad to have you with us. by the british prime minister's brags that plan came under fire this week with cabinet resignations and calls for a vote of no confidence theresa may unveiled her divorce plan on wednesday the choice before. this deal old leaves with no deal only all no bricks it will soon after announcing her draft to deal with the e.u. two cabinet ministers quit including the braggs it secretary theresa may also had to face a three hour grilling by parliament. does the prime minister us. they all intend to

put a false choice to parliament between her a botched jail or no jail and the labor party have only one intention that is to frustrate the trade. you are not delivering the brakes people voted for and today you will lose the support of many conservative voices i'm merely owners of voters across the country we can choose to leave with no deal we can risk no breaks it all or we can work. i. or 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 a 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 cohens 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 is in the national interest. and we can only secure it if we unite behind the agreement reached in cabinet yesterday it's been a series of cabinet resignations government minister resignations parliamentary 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 bricks deal which seems to be almost friendless this is that 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 their cards and taking photographs so this deal doesn't actually satisfy any body. in archie's online series in case you missed it paulie boyko takes an alternative look at events at westminster. there was something quick. if you read it because i have. in westminster as the cradle of britain's parliament free democracy trying to get to grips with something

to do with breadsticks. now this time the thing to do with records it is very serious and we know this because important ministers to do with gregg's it which they should all be including someone in charge of gregg's it was actually a display of confidence in himself. that it. was you. know anyone leave the ministry with. looking. at music. that brings a. lot of. the noise the way the backstop is you know basically we could. go given the e.u.

our backstop. will shrivel 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. political group isn't it strange. that. these guys. have of course tending to know all about it in fact there are two. about what's happening. we're not watching it it's fastest say that right now everyone's talking about it without having read it a little bit like the bible. or impedes. c.z. once the facts stop the bomb not so ray walston mike stone.

excuse me once will deny that. what is it you can only read you think to the my job to ask the questions you don't. well the aim of the so-called backstop is to prevent a hard border between the republican violent and northern ireland you can read more about that on r.t. dot com. newly declassified documents have revealed a cia program to develop a so-called truth serum involved drugging prisoners who were able to withstand other interrogation techniques. project medication was of 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 artie's what our guys have has more on the cia interrogation program and. what it involved. 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 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 progressed from attention flaps and walling to confinement in both large about five hours and small about one hour book says and finally 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 weren't getting results so they opted for something new something like a truth serum problem was and this is problem number three seriously illegal there were at least two legal obstacles approved bush and his 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 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 torturers 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 other problems here journalists activists and juice they kept prime kept sniffing around digging up details and publicize and have

a day 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 or a lot of information in it it's almost like two fingers to the press sometimes these court battles took year is but 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 that all the good stuff i know.

all right the leaders of the u.s. and france had a high profile falling out on tuesday donald trump turned on emanuel micron over his calls for a europe wide army. but it was germany in world wars one and two how did that work out for france. they was starting to learn german in paris before the u.s. came along pay for nato no. funds makes it very hard for the us to sell its wines into france and charges big tariffs not fat must change the problem is that emanuel suffers from a very low approval rating in france twenty six percent and an unemployment rate of almost ten percent. make france great again. one petition out but is it what we need a europe can defend itself along moreover with zero depending only on the us in

a way that exhibits greater sovereignty. and we ought. to take a look at the. weekly. as well as it taunting the president micron twitter donald trump claimed that america's wines are as good as anything france has to offer one to paris to find out if locals agree. good post. old school say to me you. know. where.

you don't you know. really think of it. i would say our pool room. but the only big. city mosul a bit more where you don't get much out of it. and the. vault. in the wake of. the verdict is in a hundred it's clear parisians preferred the wine from the us all her well maybe for once they don't rule towns being vindicated as the wine from his country seems

to have trumped that from france so on this occasion from paris we admit defeat but nevertheless we will always weighs a gloss and say so and say. it russian carrier has successfully doctor the international space station after a flight that is delivering two and a half tons of supplies including food water and oxygen. was the first since last month when a spacecraft failed to enter orbiter due to a malfunction is now preparing for the arrival of three new crew members a russian a canadian and an american who will be making the journey on december third space is cool. all right a deadly exchange of fire is continuing between israel and gaza that's right much more still to come you are watching the weekly right here on our two international .

thank. you. didn't this is the phrase that has become a mantra for many people but as more and more people get involved in visualizing the world around them always the story we tell ourselves. changes.

israeli fighter jets are continuing their bombing raids in gaza in response to cross border rocket fire this comes after a week of the deadly hostilities in which at least seven palestinians and one israeli were killed. i.

i mean while israel's prime minister. netanyahu has announced he is taking charge of the defense ministry that comes after his defense minister quit on wednesday in protest at the ceasefire in gaza which he described as a capitulation to terror the un security council held an emergency meeting on the conflict the day before in which the israeli representative and a palestinian observer were at loggerheads the security council must only. we condemn in the strongest possible terms this aggression by is that there is no such a thing both sides. that's in the fire but is a display which is illegal. in humane and we will continue to take any measure measure necessary to pull people this round of violence was created as a result of

a botched. does that ideally military operation in the gaza strip it's very interesting for me to hear the israeli ambassador speak about the gaza skill ation 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 two million palestinians the latest round of escalation started because of a botched israeli undercover operation three kilometers deep inside gaza that's how the escalation started with the israeli forces killing seven palestinians. around ukraine's far right freedom party has organized a children's summer camp although to some it might seem like more of a boot camp

a journalist from the associated press news agency visited the site where youngsters live under strict rules and learn how to become combat ready and start easily a potential comments. now that's what i call a legit summer camp. oh you know about early morning wakeup calls. oh yes drive by off. chance that kids will remember for the rest of their lives. was 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 svoboda 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 they're being taught how to kill good just what is good you know they can still live there it seems limitless new coal then out of since it but it used to know what it was sizzling he should post pickle fun things when one of them and that was the only two of his more. 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. of us this. should make you. feel that what you will feel you have taught us the. first that was. your should have but. what may seem as an ugly display of far right saw 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 a national patriotic education some of these projects are run by the stream far right. even the nato backed atlantic council think tank tried to raise international wariness with this article and indeed we didn't write that amnesty 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. in january crane passed a law recognizing russia as an aggressor state and last week the ukrainian vice prime minister accused the kremlin of supporting nationalist movements journalist brian mcdonald who has covered the ukraine conflict since it started believes we are now at a turning point i'm just shocked that it's finally been reported in the west i mean associated press have gone in there obviously a syndication agency so obviously that you know their company that has to be reported in other mediums but 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 doesn't

surprising but it's good that for the first time you know many readers in 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. 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 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 would it supposed moral leadership you know lashing out against this where the british embassy about thirty five and a half minutes that's when i'll be back with more of the weekly you are watching our two international quote have with us. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics school i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going foundation let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. i don't think the democrats very much moved to negotiate with the republicans or president so i think people are going to have to acknowledge that the united states over the next couple years is going to be consumed even more so by our internal our total bickering in affairs and. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that in this population of all the converts if you had any interrogation out there what you'll see is promise

threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said if i were. say i stayed there i would be home by that time the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with solving their crimes.

welcome to worlds a party pics or it didn't happen that phrase has long left the confines of internet forms become a live dictum for a vast areas people young and old housewives to prime ministers as more and more people partake 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 level one the rich a professor of computer science at the city university of new york though it's good to talk to thank you very much for your time because 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 and that in any other time in human history when anyone with a mobile for an organ smartphone contributes how does it change the overall discourse. proposed for you in charge.

when they were had so many people creation culture and it was actually before social media took off and what i'm interested in used to expose was great to reach you because often this to assume with people people who create if i feel artist special artist living in places like more scribbling new york in my face is red right millions of creative people often these people are more collegial for me being a very small places in siberia even china you can believe it everywhere so how do we make it visible how they were being creativity we're products religion ations the surface how do you make this new cultural world visible now from what i understand for a very long time human 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 for 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 assume 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 right says so it's possible with which knowledge is going to make a world more diverse illis there were some same time. that's an interesting and somewhat paradoxical statement but if you took the most popular apps i assume that they're still playing by the numbers rather than the quality of the content so

don't just think about focus on the numbers the numbers of likes the number of. let's and promotions don't just think that it's going to be a driving in the overall direction towards something less original rather than more original you know we'll hold these unlikely cultural is you slip eleven years ago as i said that's exactly the kind of questions we'll have to talk about and often the whole difference and sometimes observations sure to be wrong so ideally i would like to study with would like to measure it of course how do you measure traits you each year it was billions of images of billions of you do with every hard question so only too much of a level i tend to give you but ideally i would like to check that i heard you say that your work involves a lot of steerage tie busting what are some of the. most memorable stereotypes that your work managed to defy.
