i. i i. in the headlines today different priorities was facebook too slow to stop the spread of video of last friday's matching to those mosques in christ church but at the same time too swift to secretly silence accounts of political views it deemed unsafe or. if i put certain stories about certain political issues i am shadow bad so. 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 shadow. house where the venezuelan government announces the so-called occupation of its offices in the us after diplomats for the opposition vie for control of the consulate. the story of a russian trader accused of money laundering appealing for at least eleven custody

in greece being held for more than nineteen months without charge. how many days are you in the hunger strike. you ate the day. and still no answer. to the. other good afternoon just one of the afternoon moscow time my name is kevin zero in this is r t international first facebook spring criticized for allowing video to be spread of last week's mass shooting in the well being quick of the same time when dealing with political content it doesn't like the country's prime ministers demanded answers from social media platforms over live streaming of the terror attack in two mosques in christ church that left fifty worshippers dead. i would

call on our social media platforms of all variety to demonstrate the kind of responsibility that both lead to these have been and that includes stars who pitch the messages in the aftermath there is a lot of work that needs to be done. as the horror unfolded for seventeen minutes the gunman live streamed the massacre on facebook shortly after copies of the video appeared on other social media outlets the platforms did try to block the content but not before widespread public outrage over it. in the first twenty four hour was removed one point five million views of the attack globally of which over one point two million were blocked and upload we continue to work around the clock to remove violating content using a combination of technology and people please know we are working vigilantly to remove any violent footage. facebook deleted the video after a warning from police authorities said that the distribution of such content is

punishable by imprisonment we are legal and also counterterrorism expert jennifer braden whether tech giants should and could and quick to block this video. i respectfully submit that when you show violence against human beings it's a form of pornography we have to as 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 way as or so or i think it might lead to more rather than answering questions that

need to be asked i mean one of the main problems i'm seeing here is that we can tell we need to stop saying let's just stop everybody from that it doesn't you know we can get rid of x. rated movies should it come down immediately yes should this be kept from the public yes take it down i want facebook and others simply to have us active you know whatever and out of the al gore world and they have we're talking to you now that you're going to keep you know they're talking about arguing people will hardly blinded from these sightings will fellow lying dead but you're not talking about prayer how will this prevent it nobody's talking about prefer. the question is should be banned i'm saying yes to what i want facebook to do is if i put certain stories about certain political issues i am shadow bad so no 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 we 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 tense that that is allowed 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 dead whether this might include war coverage how many people would support me that while as we're debating this there's some kids where 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. vote for you so. public discontent not just over the handling of content of video but also for how it treats personal data that's something for the past it's been a year now since that scandal broke around political consulting firm cambridge analytical ear reportedly but then brought personal data from face but which is then sold on the third parties are used to gain political advantage don't quarter next today looks or whether or not facebook's privacy policies have changed much in the last twelve months. or might say facebook's had

a productive year in its fight against fake news perhaps you've seen their war room . read the headlines. and heard the assurances we've deployed new ai tools that do a better job of identifying fake accounts that may be trying to interfere in elections or spread misinformation mark zuckerberg has gone after both sides of the political spectrum from alex jones to the russia friendly left it's also been a year since it broke that the social media giant had sold off the data of eighty million users to a political advertising firm transferred facebook data to cambridge analytic or personal data and mind for nearly eighty seven million facebook users the largest security breach in the company's history this is this is

a challenge for our cloud companies so what is facebook actually done aside from zuckerberg saying sorry that is not it was a big mistake that was a mistake and it was my mistake and i'm really sorry that this happened i'm sorry and i'm sorry for it spoiler alert and not a lot facebook promised a forensic audit of cambridge analytic but never delivered then they said they'd look into apps with suspicious activity and punish those who broke privacy rules the last we heard of that was august twenty eighth team and then there was the promise of a new option to clear personal information from the platform if the user wants facebook said that the changes would only take a few months back in may last year and we're still left empty handed but will facebook come out unscathed the researcher behind the cambridge analytical app is suing facebook for defamation alex did not lie alex was not a fool it's alex did not deceive them this was not a scam facebook knew exactly will this app was doing was should have known facebook

desperately needed to scapegoat and alex was the scapegoat at the same time a british newspaper is reporting that some facebook shareholders may have been complicit in the data harvesting and the buck doesn't stop there either the federal government is now investigating how zuckerberg treats client privacy. very seriously recent reports raises substantial concerns to both the privacy broke to sophie's book it's been a year since the biggest privacy scandal in social media but at least facebook's got the round to censoring alternative media donald quarter r.t. . if you decide to sign the list of the armed forces in france a spoken over pressure being exerted on nato members by washington for them to buy u.s. weapons has got across this room difficult for busy in paris for a safety net so break that first a bit more detail that statement. while the french defense minister has trance that europe must move away from full dependency on an american weapon supplies speaking

at the atlantic council of the minister spoke on a long term u.s. commitment to nato slamming president trump conditional approach towards nato and he is european allies also expressing concern that trumps the idea of needles salad gerrity is conditional on allies buying that or if this equipment. the alliance should be unconditional. otherwise it's not in the lines. close it's called article five not article if thirty five. well here the minister was referring to us aircraft after thirty five and all these statements were made to quite a shortly after u.s.

national security advisor john bolton blasted turkish decision not to band and its deal with russia to buy russia's four hundred air defense systems he called it one of the major stumbling blocks and u.s. turkish relations very much. their purchase of the russian air defense system call b.s. four hundred deaths a big problem. well while some nato countries are moving away from a dependency on us a weapon supplies it really seems that washington is doing everything in its power to stop that from happening. so the reporting live from paris. now i will stay in europe for our next story to a court in greece is due to reconsider the case of russian bitcoin entrepreneur alexander vinick he spent nineteen months in custody exceeding the maximum term for detention without charge finnick was arrested in greece and twenty seventeen after the us accused him of laundering four billion dollars for

a bit called trading platform since then washington paris and moscow hold him on his extradition or see a correspondent more ghastly of those the latest on this story this lunchtime. this is alexander vinick two years ago three and healthy a pioneer in tech father and a husband this is beneath now literally a shadow of his former self for twenty months he has withered in greek jails without charge. yes i mean parable in. my soul but i don't have many leverage some insight from kindness you can shout at that kind of curse at them and greek everything that doesn't kill us makes us stronger in talking about myself and all of their the most you know you are you it's hard to believe but you're looking at the thirty nine year old man wrinkled aged

drained by his predicament the entire family has suffered. and then awarded our lives will never be the same the moment he was taken everything changed things will never be as they were but now we live differently only to hope that our family will be together again that our family will see its father its mother the children will be happy i hope. and hope is all the reason for her sasha may not have long left the day agreed court decided to extradite her husband to the us she reportedly collapsed and was diagnosed. the brain cancer triple chuma says she's being treated in germany chances are very very slim but she struggles on hoping to see her husband her kids one more time they all struggle on. how many days are you on the hunger strike. page here and eighty

today. and and still no answer. to the answer might be. on the verge of death alexander vinick was hospitalized according to the greek constitution he should have been released after eighteen months his lawyer says barring a court decision to prolong his arrest there was no court decision only accusations vinick scrotums says his lawyer was being too successful in two thousand and seventeen alexander vinick consulted one of the biggest bitcoin trading platforms in the world called bt she those days with the wild west in crypto currency he pioneered in the field before regulation arrived if it seems like it

was various business men began using the exchange sidestepping taxation in old countries. was that legal or illegal but that when you can look at money and it was legal at the time of his arrest as there was no government regulation of cryptocurrency use it was absolutely legal and it continues to be abused so i dense question is existing huge numbers and no arrests are made over them. but it may be more simple he was russian and he consulted a huge financial business that the us did not control if that's what justice is there to speak of when according to greek law international law he should have been released but what we all understand is that this is a political case for now been equal continue to serve a sentence he was never given and he will continue to watch his family being torn apart levels and here being treated once he's there. starving the children are just

a locksmith and perhaps more importantly receiving the blessing of the u.s. state department they destroying everything so that's what they have done here that basically they destroyed this house and again this is a nasa does belong to the venezuelan sun day instead of preserving preserving the assets that just just i mean you saw what they did and so imagine the they do these here in the u.s. you can imagine what they are doing in this way that. outside the military attachés building vecchio raised the venezuelan flag pounding out code being protesters chanting hands off venezuela inside the building vic you replaced a portrait of elected president nicolas maduro with one of the it's not the first time the u.s. has recognized alternative figures in place of an existing government in two thousand and eleven washington did the same in syria and seven years later bashar assad is still in power i don't have any doubt that their benefits are ready for

a change the change will call he hasn't come because we haven't they don't cheat in this way that we have taken that. people used to be prudish but that would be the end meanwhile vecchio was setting his sights on the venezuelan embassy in may he sees that building is early as wednesday in washington r.t. is certainly a story keep an eye on we got the thoughts from michael maloof former pentagon security policy analyst he says actions by the venezuelan opposition here go well beyond diplomatic norms. we're seeing here is a is a diplomatic posturing a diplomatic dance if you will that and in which the united states is carrying on in a way that is not nor normally allowed. in with diplomatic norms in international law it sets a precedent anything like this could send a potential precedent and especially if the united states did it then everybody

else can point to say look the united states did it it must be ok now you know it's only only laws the international law is only as strong as the countries that abide by it and if you've got fifty other countries that are recognizing. over or over more duro that is in effect setting up a de facto recognition and also another level of diplomatic approach that heretofore has not been done. britain's prime minister is facing a new set plan the speaker of the house of commons no says there could be no meaningful first vote unless significant changes have made all this with less than two weeks to go before the u.k. supposed to leave the european union playboy here is the story. if you call it 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 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 change 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 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 and would be their way of getting this book deal through the house went 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 it has been strongly. though i have not received confirmation of this that good and even possibly for meaningful vote. will be attempted what the government can more legitimately do is to resubmit to the house the so even proposition or substantially the same proposition as last of last week. which was rejected by one hundred. so there he is told piece airing the idea of a nother meaningful vote on bragg's it unless to reason may change is what she's

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 governments 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 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 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 made some of the continent's more mobile museum and some people to get a more light hearted view of the rollovers national teeth in westminster the french minister of europe most noted current brics it because of his habit of quote asking to be let out but then refusing to leave.

he wakes me up every morning meowing to death because he wants to go out and then when i open the door he good undecided and then glares at me when i put him out. serious mothers from says well away from the. consecutive weekend of protests there it seems the government the chief of police of paris has been sacked after violent demonstrations of the weekend taken saturday and the president. in the center of the french government out of. protest. i think if it's at the meet made this afternoon by the prime minister or a public order response to the reality we face. and not a protest by free citizens we are giving ourselves the authority to apply in certain. as well as other places that have been hit by the crisis will be closed to

public gatherings just to remind just saturday's demonstrations sort of being set lists luxury shops clashes with police again french political commentator. will not get to the root of the problem. the problem the depth of the problem is that we have had forty years of social interaction cutting social services that didn't just sleazy. and so people are fed up with respect to police mccloy's not responsible but my point is still i hold them in never mentioned anything about older people or didn't really need lust eyes etc the only concern about reality is. being damaged and this infuriates people even in law so it's easy to sponsor and also going to the ski when he knows that his is going to be in trouble everybody is announcing

that space is the question also why didn't the police prevent that because it was in the newspaper everybody knew that the writer we have small questions on this channel thank you for watching us to this is out international is now twenty nine minutes past one of the afternoon you did say for coming six hours for me kevin i would have a good day. you know world break part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. 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.
