3:02 am
that includes stars who capitulate their messages in the aftermath there's a lot of work that needs to be down for about seventeen minutes that live streamed the massacre on facebook shortly after copies of the video appeared and other social media outlets to the platforms did try to block the content but not before widespread public outrage in the first twenty four hours that removed one point five million views of the attack globally of which over one thousand content using a combination of technology and people clues no we are working vigilantly to remove any violent footage. facebook deleted the video after warning from the police actually authorities said that the distribution of such content is punishable by imprisonment we will read your legal counterterrorism expert to the supreme where the should and could have acted quicker to block the video. i respectfully submit that when you show violence against human beings it's a form of pornography we have to as
3:03 am
a society say no facebook you can do much better for kids for people who would see this not necessarily because it would inspire the next shooting which you very well could because these losers need some form of acclimation out of just human decency without bringing in the government as laws and penalties or hearing from officials government officials from the prime minister in new zealand talking about preventing future attacks like this and then going on to censoring when this attack happens how in the world does that prevent this attack we're spending so much time talking about we can have videos like this with as or so or think it might lead to more rather than answering questions that need to be asked i mean one of the main problems on the scene here is that we continue to put band-aids on gunshot wounds and we need to stop that we need to stop putting band-aids on we need to stop saying let's just stop everybody from there that he doesn't you know we can get rid of x. rated movies should it come down immediately yes should this be kept from the
3:04 am
public yes take it down i want facebook and others abroad to have a sack of you know whatever and out of the aisle here whether or not they have we're talking to you now and you're going to keep you know they're talking about arguing people will hardly blinded from these sightings will fly low lying dead but you're not talking about how will this prevent it nobody's talking about prevented the question is should be banned i'm saying yes what i want facebook to do is if i put certain stories about certain political issues i am shadow bad show fast and i want them to use that technology in their genius to figure out wait a minute. we're having somebody right now people are being killed this is going to come down from our platform what my concern is when they continue to ban these kinds of things can ban this kind of stuff that's only going to perpetuate shadel ban and that's something i agree should never happen but we're giving subject and our and authority to social media platforms to never run tent that that is allowed
3:05 am
so when to hurt us later we don't know who they're going to not like it's all subjective no matter what kind of computer algorithm at the end of the day it will be subjective now listen dr burke do me a favor if you see somebody shooting and killing people shut it down or talk about it later don't have a debate do you think that maybe we're giving one person die die die die die die the right to automatically and who's to say whether this could one day be done today people being shot and whether this might include war coverage how many people would support me that while as we're debating this there is some kid somewhere would you ever talk about watching this seeing real time slaughter or the families of these people or whatever of this is violent pornography yes this is horrible that i never want to see this i never want my children to see this i don't want any person to be subject to this kind of violence in this horrible obscene material these publications but this is what i have seen governments cannot stop this these

companies cannot stop this people who post something positive about donald trump are being taken off of social media because of social media heads and managers and so we want them to ban other things instead of us and that is my main thing is that they can't they will not. have another point of discussion for public discontent not just. hate cones and video but also for how we treat personal data it's pretty you know since the scandal broke political consulting from cambridge analytical it reportedly bore personal data from facebook which it then sold on to third parties used to gain political coverage an advantage donald cool to looks at whether nor facebook's privacy policies about some chains says that in the last twelve months. one might say facebook's had a productive year in its fight against fake news perhaps you've seen their war room . read the headlines.

3:19 am
make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round. the one percent. nor middle of the room six. minutes past ten o'clock the morning mosco time good morning for me kevin zero in this is international so britain's prime minister is facing a new setback to a plan the speaker of the house of commons says that could be no meaningful vote unless significant changes are made all this with less than two weeks to go before
3:20 am
the u.k. supposed to leave the european union bullyboy to reports from the u.k. . if you got an f. for your homework which you take it back to the teacher and try to get him or her to change the grade simply because it was coming up to exam time and you really needed to pass and most people wouldn't but that's pretty much what to reason may was trying to do with her beleaguered brags it would draw all deal it's been rejected by politicians twice already and yet we've been hearing rumors ever since last week that the government was planning to bring the unchanged deal back for politicians to vote on for a third time this week the only difference of course would be that the risk of a no deal bragg's it or no brags it through a lengthy delay would be increased because we're so close to britain's departure date from the e.u. so that might have made m.p.'s change their mind and sort of choose to resign may's
3:21 am
deal as the least of all the evils available take a listen to what's happened in parliament in order for them to be turned around and for the motion to pass it would require a significant change what we've seen meaningful both one two three four five of them for night time would be their way of getting this book deal through the house won't do to leave the european union in eleven days and there is no. certainty the speaker of the house of commons has thrown a constitutional curveball into reason maze court the it has been strongly. though i have not received confirmation of this that stood even possibly for meaningful vote. will be attempted what the government can more legitimately do is to resubmit to the house the same even proposition or
3:22 am
substantially the same proposition as last of last week. which was rejected by one hundred. or so that he is told pierre in the idea of a nother meaningful vote on bragg's it unless to reason may change is what she putting in front of m.p.'s to vote on now he's based it on a legal precedent called us skin may the reason i'm telling you about it is you might be airing this phrase skin may a lot this week essentially it is a parliamentary mechanism a terribly old one it's been used as far back as the seventeenth century to stop parliament or rather to stop government's bullying legislation through parliament a lot of politicians think that that is precisely what to resume a is trying to do here but what does all this mean for the brags that well if it was possible this is made her job even harder than it was already and she's set to attend the council summit in thursday but now she needs to come back from that
3:23 am
with a substantially improved deal when the e.u. has said repeatedly that there is absolutely no way that they're going to reopen these negotiations or give the u.k. any more concessions. because watch this space meantime on the lighter side of this some people say you more lighthearted view the chaos of westminster for instance the french minister for europe and the big brics it because apparently it's got a habit of asking to be left with refusing to leave.
3:24 am
he wakes me up every morning meowing to death because he wants to go out and then when i open the door he puts undecided and then glares at me when i put him out. on tokyo from the eighteenth to say the weekend of protests there it seems the government said enough president says the central powers is now out of bounds to yellow vest demonstrators. if it's at the meet complete nonsense made this afternoon by the prime minister for public order response to the reality we face a whole of hooligans and not a protest by free citizens because we're giving ourselves the authority to apply and find inside the. city disowns elisei as well as other places that have been hit
3:25 am
by the crisis will be closed to public gatherings. those demonstrations were marred by violence with fires being set luxury shops looted and clashes with police french police will come to. the ban these things will not get to the root of the problem the. the problem is that we have had faulty social he said that we can speak to police. forces i don't want to never mention anything about all of you. he really did lost. the only concern about. this. being damaged and he's enjoying his people even more so it's east as sponsible for he and also going to the ski when he knows that paris is going to be in trouble everybody has announce it that's his is the question also why didn't the police prevent that
3:26 am
because it was in the newspapers everybody knew that the writer. a former british spy branded infamous trumped russia dossier has been further discredited cities now admitted using unverified sources for his report christopher still seems relied on a c.n.n. citizen journalism website active at the time which is not edited or even fact checked. controversial document of alleged. p.p.t. .
3:27 am
i report dot com is easy to generate. the stories submitted by using. the screen before they post. makes no guarantees about the content all the coverage i report. i forget the famous chris christie it's very broadest assertions a large percentage of it is actually accurate. revelation about christmas still sources came during a court case between russia and. the business when
3:28 am
companies mentioned in the dossier had been libeled ultimately we lost that case political analyst. told us his latest revelation comes as no surprise though. the dossier was false from the beginning it was based on just a guy just looking on google finding information to put in a piece of fiction to present to the f.b.i. and then they used it to engage in really kind of unconstitutional who waged against the president and against anybody that goes against their particular narrative. russia dashi a was just totally phony i mean it didn't make any sense from the very beginning and if you have more evidence come in now that. about it the fate is now proven but the media won't just try to totally avoid it if it's brought up that should i dance around the question and not because the narrative about russia being this big bad monster and i don't show being colluding in a bit with them is a moral poor narrative to push so they'll ignore facts they'll ignore any
3:29 am
information that goes against the narrative they've been running with for paris two or three years now. i'll leave you with that my name is kevin allen thanks for watching us international live from h.q. here in moscow the time is now coming up to half past ten in the morning this cheese day heavy choose day goes hope it passes that well for you. greetings and salutation. the week begins hawk watchers with many around the world across the entire web still mourning their epic tragedy that struck christchurch
