12:30 pm
so just what are these facebook moderators subjected to you may ask well not only do they get to spend their workdays looking at the worst of the worst post by all of the facebook trolls races and bigots but they also get to pursue all of the graphically violent perusal of the graphically violent videos and pictures posted on a daily basis on the social media sites and as a cherry on top of all of that that the oppressive oversight of work rate and accuracy leaves workers feeling under pressure to spend no more than thirty seconds on each item and a moderate hundreds every day without getting more than one in twenty wrong. not to mention that the intense oversight can also drive some workers towards revenge one quality assurance worker told the birds that he resorted to carrying a gun to work out of fear for is safety from employee reprisals so today my friends let us pull back the veil on the brutal working conditions spaced by the arbiters
12:31 pm
of facebook's morality and start watching the whole x. . to. get the. real deal it's really. hard to do. what they like you know that i got. with. the. welcome everyone the watcher the hawks i am i robot. that i don't work a face like plan for facebook or for any company that works for a face as a subsidiary. i mean it it's kind of unsettling and they don't get paid very much for that no no i was going to say i mean you would think the being tasked with the job of going over all of the really horrible content that people could post on
12:32 pm
facebook or do post on facebook where the video or you know troll laying a racist quotes or whatever it may be you would think that would be a big time job twenty eight thousand eight hundred a year is what the moderators words looked at this group of moderators in phoenix working for a third party company you know subcontracted out there making about twenty eight thousand maybe twenty nine thousand a year while the average base book employee living at like you know up on the hill up and up in the gods upon you know. found let us know. what you call a facebook employee they make about two hundred forty thousand. a year or so they're making six figures meanwhile the people who are toiling in the muck. they make and i'm certainly enough employer employees can be fired if they make even a handful of mistakes in a week it's brutal what are the most staid i mean it seems to be all sort of
12:33 pm
arbitrary it's the big problem is the arbiter so it's arbitrary how do you sorry i'm just using words and. facts it just doesn't make any sense to me you literally are asking these people to make a decision that can't be wrong. you can't make a wrong decision. and yet they're paying him twenty thousand dollars here and saying if you messed up and let the wrong thing through that's it one breast feeding video and your rabbit hair i don't get that doesn't make any sense so no training it's of no use your yeah i mean they get like this like little league. in the works is do is they show them like these ridiculously horrible videos in the training of course and then they act out and have it up right that's that's actually literally what someone one person so we show them these videos that then when they get here they have like rules of setting rules and confusion about over what your point is no and one of the worst parts it was like break time staff are
12:34 pm
allowed like maybe two nine to nine minute wellness breaks during the day to kind of not in their mind with everything that they're dealing with. but the. worst part about that is you're also given two fifteen minute breaks but this particular third party. contractor the bathrooms were so small that most people had to like wait in line for so long that they'd like miss about the broken limb but have to go on their wellness break and it's just a mess you know over and over again but all these things in fact that would explain the reports of what people do on their break. that's the other thing too is that people are going to lead traumatic bonding because i'm dealing with this and everybody sitting there watching these horrible things over and over like drone operator. and you know people who just aren't anything where you're seeing the same images like that if you find them unsettling so apparently after having said back to subjected to all of this traumatic images and videos it's they're saying that
12:35 pm
the moderators are they have you know very dark humor is how they cope there's coping mechanisms and it's like dark humor smoking weed on their break and having sex with each other and closets and stairwells which i think is the horrible group of things to do. at a job that's twenty eight thousand dollars a year and you have to look at the worst of humankind and have the amounts of p.t.s.d. woman like you said earlier you are suing them saying like look you didn't really prepare us for the post of p.t.s.d. if you didn't see all these things over and over again. what a facebook say yeah facebook's response to the justin facebook's vice president of global operations actually said that the company encouraged workers employed by third party contractors to raise concerns with their employers h.r. teams or to call facebook's dedicated whistleblower hotline but the company set up for this purpose so now they do have like a whistle blower a live like look that there are already i'm going insane looking at all these
12:36 pm
videos and these horrible thing is what do i do. the trolls and send them letters. it's there's so many i read about this is you can't you can. sit there and try to like factor everybody's life together and figure out the perfect when we're all happy that's the problem is people think it's like life you can't fix stupid. essential to the controversy about us well right now begins with the question of humanitarian aid should we accept it who will they accept it from but whether it's russia or america and their governments it certainly doesn't come without strings and as the international community continues to argue amongst themselves over what should happen to venezuela and its people are to america's dan cohen went to went down to colombia to see find out what the people who are fighting for trains really want as their voices are drowned out by billionaires and bureaucrat bureaucrats
12:37 pm
here stan cohen with their report. about the t.n.t. just bridge crossing on the colombian side of the border with venezuela behind me you can see ten trucks carrying six hundred tons of what the u.s. government says is humanity. hereon aid to be delivered to venezuela and the venezuelan government is refusing it saying this is actually not humanitarian aid the red cross and other major international humanitarian organizations are refusing to participate in this saying also it is not humanitarian aid since national assembly leader one declared himself president of venezuela on january twenty third he had been in the capital city of caracas freely denouncing that he called them a draw dictatorship had said february twenty third is the date u.s. government supplied aid would enter venezuela in the days leading up why don't call for a human wave to accompany the aid. the morning of the twenty third why don't himself
12:38 pm
appeared on the colombian side of the t. and did this bridge crossing urging his supporters to ensure they got across we don't know very soon this unity bridge will work to bring all of the venezuelan people together the humanitarian aid is definitely on its way to venezuela in a non threatening and peaceful way to save lives at this moment in venezuela. but after his public statement alongside the presidents of colombia chillin pair of why why don't was nowhere to be found former venezuelan opposition lawmaker pouliot board case now why doe's representative to the lima group in a brief appearance to i asked him about the involvement of the u.s. special envoy to venezuela elliott abrams who in the one nine hundred eighty s. used to manage tarion aid shipments to deliver weapons to the contras in nicaragua at the mundanities i am not a historian we're talking about news i'm talking about my country i don't care
12:39 pm
about anything else but venezuelans and i want them as well as to feel support from russia i don't want russia to support a dictator like manure and that's what we want right now and we're calling for a reason we support the people you do not support the dictator. hundreds of protesters outside the bridge crossing demanded the elected president of venezuela . you call us what duro be overthrown and the humanitarian aid pass through its borders well that's right oh ok my little foot down with my door down with the door nobody likes you door get up while marching to what the humanitarian aid and the duros not letting in into the country this is the closest point we can get to on the t.n.c. to bridge crossing directly behind me or the shipping containers and tanker that are separating venezuela and colombia a colombian police here under orders to not let anyone through until they received the order from colombian president iran do k. to allow these ten trucks of so-called humanitarian aid to pass through at which point they say protesters hundreds of protesters may accompany them it has all the
12:40 pm
ingredients for a potential clash venezuelan authorities and protesters are on the other side if you listen carefully you can hear the music coming from the other side. who venezuela venezuela venezuela that is interesting because what's interesting is when you hear the representative for quite a zero from the lima group he seems to be one of those people that sort of gets always gets caught up in the politics of and pageantry of these situations is that most of the people trying to bring in humanitarian aid really doing meth you know what are people like him who are like i don't care about politics i don't care about the story i'm here to make sure that they actually get food that they actually get supplies the people i care about that my my people are taken care of and i wish more people had that attitude instead of well we'll give it to you but only if you do something for us for running right you know that's a great point. all right as we go to break watchers don't
12:41 pm
forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter and see our poll shows that r t v dot com coming up our team murders on scouting don't use bringing us the latest from hanoi it's from been coming to prepare for a second round. talks of lead investigative journalist but this one joins us to find out. what was state to the water before. the big.
12:42 pm
chill seemed wrong lol just don't call. me. yet to shape our disdain comes to educate and engage equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. we came here where did you work before you came here when you live well death row in many us states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years waiting for execution but most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor that there are some people because of what they do have given up their right to live among us somebody even proven innocent is on death row and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about.
12:43 pm
it. for decades we've heard that every country that takes an adversarial view of america hates us for our freedom and yet and vietnam the people have an overwhelmingly positive view of the united states and our citizens which is in president obama's favor as he travels to hanoi vietnam for bilateral talks with the vietnamese and north korean officials scotty now here is of use with the latest from hanoi. u.s. president donald j. trump and north korean leader kim jong un have both made their respective journeys
12:44 pm
to hanoi vietnam for their second meeting slated to take place on thursday president made the journey from andrews air force base and kim travel via train from pyongyang north korea through it china and finish the trip through vietnam by car there's video of i know i i've chosen for this time it first several reasons to including the security that the location promises here and i know i was historic old quarter. things are operating up much differently than a normal day but the street they're lined with banners featuring the flags of the united states and vietnam and north korea vietnam and korea share similar yet very different histories with the united states following wars that waged on their nations to stop the spread of communism after the us ended involvement in the korean war the north and south remain divided vietnam were unified after the war in north korea there is still hostility towards the west and the idea of capitalism in one thousand nine hundred six vietnam adopted
12:45 pm
a series of reforms that moved away from state run economy to a more market oriented approach vietnam is now seen as the world's fastest growing economy with the potential in order to keep the growth of roughly five percent a great terrible time the time to be enemies people have embraced western culture this give me theme throughout annoy it is not uncommon to see american staples like burger king popeye's chicken and dunkin donuts. i read them here research poll even showed that eighty four percent of vietnamese citizens when i think of all opinion of the united states higher than any other foreign country survey now while the focus of the trip to hanoi is the sound met with north korea president travelled bilateral talks the president when truong and the country's prime minister went. tab of the entire there are a lot of similarities between hanoi and any major urban city america however there is a one major difference in it to regard to the traffic but that they can all back to game of progress i kid you not there not really any cost walk that if you avoid
12:46 pm
being hit by a car you have to worry about these a motorbike these motorbikes also don't just down the street as they see the sidewalk and seeing their traffic light but you know that they had already done with the city which keeps you on your toes reporting far to america and i vietnam i am. in twenty two in the federal bureau of investigation so british it's hundred tenth anniversary most mainstream pollack. from presidential contender democrat campbell harris to recently deceased republican god apparently on capitol hill john mccain they've let lavishly heaped praise on the f.b.i. over the course of their careers with mccain even declaring at one point that undermining or criticizing the f.b.i. is not in the best interests of america no one would think that such a vaunted u.s. institution well over a century old would have had no trouble filling its job openings and packing its hallways with the best and brightest of law enforcement but apparently that is
12:47 pm
indeed the case they are having trouble with the wall street journal reporting this week that quote a slump in the number of special agent applicants has forced the nation's top law enforcement agency to overhaul its recruitment so today investigative journalist bunce one joins us to help us find out why the f.b.i. has wanted the why they want so many want ads but what's going on at the f.b.i. right now well it seems like the f.b.i. is much less popular than it has been with young people who are looking to consider a career in law enforcement and i think it's surprising to a quite a few people especially since you if you look at the trend since two thousand and nine pretty much every year it's been trending down there's a slight change in that in two thousand and twelve where recruitment goes up but since two thousand and fourteen it's been a steady decline of applicants actually wanting to start a career with the f.b.i. and i think it says a lot about the general public's view of these agencies how they operate the way that they conduct themselves and the fact that they have become kind of deep state
12:48 pm
political organizations more than they have law enforcement. that's pretty incredible that one of the official excuse is there are reasons for this mass rise and i mean you know i think maybe it's i mean as you said i think younger people grow up and came of age as an adult in a time when they realize they're being spied upon and all of that but what did they say the reason that. well they say the reason is it comes down to money and the f.b.i. claims that it's because so many young people today who are the really the the applicants they want right it's always the making it sound like there's no one out there to choose from the applicants they really want are just being offered more money to go other places which you know i think is a little bit difficult because remember the f.b.i. and the cia recruit directly out of college and so they're not necessarily competing with the high end jobs the f.b.i. has been running that a series of ads you know trying to recruit different types of people into the
12:49 pm
agency including trying to go after people who are studying nuclear science going after people who are studying to become c.e.o.'s at some point and they're saying you know why not consider a career in law enforcement that's the official reason they're given it is it comes down to money and so they say well we really need to focus on minorities and women as the new focus which i'm not sure if that's necessarily good than if you're a minority or a woman when they're saying we don't pay anything so we'll go after you instead yeah i really have parity no women or minorities want to be c.e.o.'s are siding cleaner than i am now say that you know it and i have figured out some of the issues that the f.b.i. is having crazy let's think about that for a minute i mean it's not like the f.b.i. has had this illustrious history with minorities and women in the united states so but i have to ask you what do you know from what you've read and what you've researched what is the real actual reasons many believe you have to be i can fill these positions that they may be special agent positions so it isn't so much that
12:50 pm
they can't fill them consider the fact that the f.b.i. only fills about nine hundred slots per year but they say they need about sixteen thousand applicants in the pool to get the nine hundred that they really want but nine hundred best and so when you're only getting about eleven thousand which is what they had last year levon thousand eight hundred or so it's a. difficultly low number and they say well we're not necessarily getting the pool of applicants that that we're really looking for the problem is this i think if you go back again to two thousand and twelve two thousand and thirteen it's not just the f.b.i. the cia the n.s.a. a lot of these organizations that years ago were legacy organizations and law enforcement are being viewed very differently by the public and a lot of young people look at those organizations as not as noble careers but as being part of a deep state or an intrusive government atmosphere and situation they don't want
12:51 pm
to be a part of and so when you look at like you know the revelations of edward snowden coming out in what twenty two or twenty thirteen and you start to watch kind of that decline in f.b.i. numbers i think you could draw a pretty strong correlation to how much disregard a lot of people have for these agencies and the kind of work they do they don't see them as heroes as much as they used to they now see them much more entrenched in this and you know deep state apparatus and i think when you look at like we've talked about it when you look at like the past summer when you have people like you know komi like all of the politics and all of this i don't people look at that and say gosh this place looks like this political boys club you know where everyone is trying to cash in on the next book rather than their job and if this thing there is to add to that point if i could just say guys to that point you know the f.b.i. has tried to use that as their excuse as to why this has nothing to do with what you've seen recently they say we've been declining for a year that's not because it's not because of these recent scandals but i think
12:52 pm
you're making a good point that because of the new scandals that have come along because of what's happened with comi and mccabe and the text messages and all the mess that russia russia russia collusion going on i think that there is now going to be an even steeper decline so i would agree with the f.b.i. that maybe it's not related to that it's there's a bigger story there but if you go back just four years in terms of the public view . people don't even talk about the way the f.b.i. has been you. know it's a couple of generations before us it was kind of a joke and our generation that was you know we watched x. files you know how things were we do know is this is the f.b.i. doing anything to recover and is it even realistic trying to convince the millennial generation that appears to be very fed up of the status quo both sides of total political spectrum that the instr. are they doing anything and can they do anything to make those institutions that protect the status quo seem cool to people
12:53 pm
who don't want to protect the pro that i i don't know how you do it how do you convince a generation of people who believe more so in freedom than maybe their their parents' generation of their parents parents because they're watching it disappear convince them to be part of the system that cracks down on them. it's a hard i don't know how you do that i don't know how you know how you go about this p.r. move that the f.b.i. is trying to do beyond just i mean what do you think beyond just what like sweeping out the old guard of the f.d.r. and saying hey we're starting over from scratch well i think you know i think the thing to do major problems with this is two major problems are. two halves of the f.b.i. going out and having press tours and speak in secret and i think that's what we've seen from military personnel of the f.b.i. it's everyone we talked to real like hard core old timers who really believe in what they're doing this that's not the old days you didn't talk about those things
12:54 pm
you didn't do that you were always your voice when something was wrong and i wonder if there's a lack of morality and i don't know that they can fake that. but it's a horrible horrible. but i got to say thank you so much for coming. in on this issue and it's definitely one the wife to kind of follow and see you. want to use. one by one i think guys thanks so much. around the globe coral reefs are suffering at a massive rate in fact due to global warming it's believed some more than ninety percent of the world's coral reefs will be dead by two thousand and fifty however the coral reefs in the gulf of aqaba region of the red sea are not only surviving but thriving according to scientists from the king of dili university of science and technology the university of texas at essex and the all of our university they found that after the last ice age the coral in the red sea evolved to handle
12:55 pm
excessive heat and acidification which is what's killing coral elsewhere but this doesn't just mean that the red sea could have corals centuries from now it also means there is a real possibility to reseed other coral reefs with the red sea variety so here's to the red sea choro that can really take the heat that is really cool that's like the first little bit of good news that we're coming out of things i mean apart from like the ocean clean a bill you wrote earlier this year it's like russell really nice but a good musical to hey there might be this coral but well there could be a reasonably there there really as it's doing so much was so well and the red sea you have a lot of issues with environment all of that because of everything from desalinization as are taking salt water putting the salt in there dumping it back in but this coral of good moves stuff good moves are like going to good news well what about it well we are not having enough jobs might be good to have people wonder how everybody thought it was the first over the very term for everyone who lives world
12:56 pm
