i. i. my. headline story the only leader of rules right through. resignation of the president. but. political views it savory. if i put certain stories about certain political issues i am shadow so. my concern is when they continue to ban these kinds of things and this kind of stuff that's only going to perpetuate shadow.

to the world this international company. top story the republic. is first and only president. resigned after almost three decades in power. told me more about the shocking announcement. not assault on those above has announced his resignation after twenty nine year is in power a while serving his feet term as the country's president he had been in fact the first and only president how can i stop. since its independence from the soviet

union in nineteen ninety so this is something really big for eighteen million people for sure and that's not on the survivor has announced his resignation in a special televised address to the nation earlier in tears or simply saying i have made the decision to end my duties as president so no one can say for sure what this seventy eighty year old prominent politician key political figure for his country and around the world actually in the region definitely was driven by but it's done no they don't the start of. my status is the first president and leader of this nation i will remain the chairman of the security council which is vested with serious powers to determine the country's domestic and foreign policy i will continue as the chairman of the democratic people's priorities and as a member of the constitutional council as such i remain with you as a citizen of this country as a person who loves my people and my country. according to the country's

constitution speaker of the country's senate of the upper chamber of the country's palm and will act as the interim president until a new president is elected and as far as we know this man is coming from the same party is not sold on as a by of an expert say that most likely he will continue the policy. leaving the paste of president of cause i stand it is a special day for eighteen million population of cars i starve chorus but i'm pretty sure that he will continue to play an important role in the country's political life and kazakhstan will continue plain for them for as a regional player after the collapse of communism kazakhstan was set up for the first time coached and became a sovereign state for the first time in one nine hundred ninety and that period there were large twenty five years ago that's a generation ago and we could no look forward to critical to the bridge and the young if you can a generation a greater participation in politics in the way that because it turned good. so

therefore the new president would be confronted with that but of course at the back if you like at the back of the room will be. giving advice and so on and he will be saying we don't want any shocks we don't want it in rapid changes let's have gradual change but let's control change. living on facebook is facing sharp criticism for failing to prevent the live streaming of friday's mosque shootings in new zealand and the subsequent circulation of the footage the country's prime minister just send to our journey said that social media sites need to do far more to tackle the spread of extremist content 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's a lot of work that needs to be down. for around seventeen minutes think gunmen live

stream the must occur which there fifty people dead on facebook shortly after the video appeared another social media sites the platforms did try to block the content but reportedly it could still easily be found hours after the atrocity. in the first twenty four hours that 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 lose no we are working vigilantly to remove any violent footage. they know the response from the facebook point i thought it was only notified itself about what had happened twelve minutes after the live stream and now this is from police in new zealand the statement on twitter they warn people of spreading the footage is punishable by imprisonment well we've got the views of attorney jennifer braden media analyst lionel on social media giant should be addressing the challenges posed by their technologies. 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 is very well good because these losers need some form of acclimation out of just human decency without bringing in the government as laws and penalties and we're 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 public yes take it down i want facebook and others abroad to have exactly who you whatever and out of the algorithm now they have we're talking to you now and you're telling me about t.v. you know they're talking about arguing people will hardly blinded from these sightings will fellow lying dead but you're not talking about how will this prevent it nobody's talking about provide to the question or should be banned them say 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

hour and authority to social media platforms to tense that that is now 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 shouted down we'll 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 that i don't people being shot and whether this might include war coverage how many people would support me that while as we're debating this there's some kid somewhere which 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 in an interesting discussion there will the facebook is facing public scrutiny not just over its handling of hate content but also for how it actually treats personal data it's been a year since a scandal broke concerning political consulting firm cambridge analytical it reportedly bought personal data from facebook which had been sold on to third parties who use that to leverage political advantage but will quarter looks whether facebook's privacy policies have changed since the. 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. 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 mined from nearly eighty seven million facebook users the largest security breach in the company's history this is this is a challenge for mark out of companies so what is facebook actually done aside from zuckerberg saying sorry that is no 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. to see deeks very seriously recent bruce 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 scott in a round of censoring alternative media donald quarter r.t. . ok another story that we're closely following today the french armed forces minister the trump administration for putting pressure on washington's nato allies to buy u.s. made weapons she sees the integrity of the military grouping should not be dictated by america's financial interests. the alliance should be unconditional. otherwise it's not in the lines. nato solidarity close it's called

article five not article if thirty five while in the statement that you just heard the french defense minister was referring to u.s. combat aircraft which is after thirty five an hour the minister was expressing concern over u.s. president donald trump's a quite as she said conditional approach towards nido and say european allies she was speaking at the atlantic council where she strasse that it is steinem that europe move away from full dependency on us weapons supplies and she also spoke on long term u.s. commitment to nato this is how the french minister slammed trans idea of needle solidarity europe has the single most open

markets. and i'm personally more concerned at the notion that the strengths of nato. might be made conditional on allies buying this or that equipment the french minister's words are highlighted by the wrists and spats between the u.s. and turkey and the us a blast that turkey's refusal to abandon its deal with russia to buy russia's as four hundred air defense systems now it cooled to one of the major stumbling blocks in the relations between the two countries but we're concerned about their purchase of the russian air defense system called b s four hundred that's a big problem you know it goes against our policy to have a nato allies such as turkey use an ass four hundred system part of the problem with that is that it is not in iraq for a bull with other nato systems we've also made it clear to turkey that we have very serious concerns with that stated plans to proceed with the acquisition of the

russian s four hundred missile defense system calling for europe to become more and more independent from us weapons supplies that is not something new just last year the french presence in one way and mccraw in the voice stay decades old idea to create really european army which would be independent from its a partner on the other side of the atlantic but the us president donald trump harshly criticized that so idea he even called it insulting so it's really saying is that what's happening now is that some nato countries are willing to move away from being fully dependent on u.s. weapons supplies while washington is doing everything in its power to stop that from taking place where back with more global news. seconds cutting.

join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next. different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. if you think. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to do.

by the way what is the punchline here. seventy minutes into the program welcome back the brazilian president made his first foreign trip since taking office to the u.s. joe europe boltzmann r o is expected to meet with donald trump later on choose they to discuss a range of issues including american investment in brazil the political crisis and venezuela on monday on agreements allowing washington to launch rockets something like it's from brazil was signed off it said val to allow the u.s. to reduce fuel consumption by some thirty percent for its launchers making a much cheaper essentially also on the agenda was an apartment trip to the cia for

both whose son has been knocked about the spy agency on twitter. but back home the brazilian media's primary focus isn't on the u.s. visit but reports of the presidential families alleging toys to violent gangs instead and interesting developments to bring you up to speed on the ups let's say good new york and our correspondent is standing by kill them up and kill a pretty shocking reports that last part i was talking about. indeed as both in our own meets with u.s. president donald trump he's facing a pretty serious scandal back at home essentially ties of his family to right wing paramilitary groups that have been involved in murder and extortion now earlier this month we saw two former brazilian police officers arrested for the murder of councilwoman marielle franco she was killed and apparently the individual who

pulled the trigger actually lived on the same street as balls and arrows family in rio and when his house was raided the police discovered one hundred seventeen automatic rifles inside the house they also discovered a number of computers and on these computers it was documented that they were engaging in widespread surveillance of a lot of left wing activists journalists and political figures now a right wing paramilitary violence is a longstanding scourge in brazil these right wing groups have been involved in a lot of terrorist activities that let's review some of what's gone on.

now back in january five leaders of a right wing militia paramilitary or gang were arrested and it turns out that the mother and wife of one of the leaders of the gang is employed by president ball scenario's son now he's there's actually a photograph of the president and his son posing with these gang members at a birthday party furthermore we have the son flavio the son of balsa naro he even

gave the medal of honor to a member of this gang now in two thousand and eleven there was a judge who was brutally murdered many suspect by right wing paramilitaries and this came after statements from both the president and his son basically alluding to the fact that because she had quote humiliated up police officers in court rooms that she had enemies so at this point we have both in our o. in the united states meeting with u.s. president trump in the aftermath of this scandal kind of breaking out in brazil but it's interesting to note that prior to his meeting with trump he did meet with the u.s. central intelligence agency the cia has had a meeting with balls in our own at the meeting he said quote nowadays you have a president who is a friend of the united states and admires this beautiful country so we'll be waiting to see what happens as the meeting proceeds donald trump and also our should be speaking to the public shortly but it is quite quite

a background as scandal grips the brazilian president as he makes his first international trip yet certainly is thanks for taking us through all of came about and live in new york. one of the topics i'm sure to be discussed between those two leaders has been a sweet but the u.s. has today imposed a new round of economic sanctions on the crisis hit country this time targeting the nation state run mining company the move comes after venice we are led to know it's what it is calling the seizure often. diplomatic buildings in the united states there are no under the control of opposition representatives in washington and new york caracas describe it as an illegal forceful occupation well after washington recognize self declared interim leader one venezuela broke off diplomatic relations with the u.s. and withdrew its stuff here's our taste on court. this quiet street is the latest

battleground for venezuela a country thousands of miles away and opposition leader why does representatives are planning to seize control of this building the military attache carlos vicki it was one guy goes so-called ambassador to the united states before entering the military attaché is building he took control of another nearby building owned by the venezuelan government he was able to do so simply by calling a locksmith and perhaps more importantly receiving the blessing of the u.s. state department and 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 to 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 venezuela. outside the military attaché is building vecchio raise the venezuelan flag pounding out code being protesters

chanting hands off venezuela inside the building vecchio replaced a portrait of elected president nicolas maduro with one of white bill 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 but is still in power i don't have any doubt that their benefits are ready for a change the change will call. income because we don't shoot in this way that we have taken that he's willing to kill the people he's not. but that would be the end meanwhile the queue is setting his sights on the venezuelan embassy in may he sees that building is early as wednesday in washington dan cohen. former pentagon security policy analyst michael maloof say the venice will and opposition go well below 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. normally allowed or are you keeping 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 it only 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 and 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 ok more great programs right ahead and then collins here with all the latest global updates from our news hates

q life. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family were unemployed. and it wasn't it was bed much worse subject and listen today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shaped my the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo damage engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles

according to no on. one set of rules for the rich officer said. that's what happens when you put her into the. sector of wilf which will is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. gets oh. we've been a real good shots people get. a life. but sometimes last minute young people are deciding if they want to not like their parents not like them liberals. always

struggle. you always have problems but you're not able to focus a lot it's the most ubiquitous going on out there most police departments use it almost over stores in the school they could get their hands on guy. some twenty four hours. through it she chinese kids about racism about police brutality taking pride in they are these kids are a part of all history. max kaiser this is the kaiser report that's right pamela anderson is a fan she just dam to me on twitter this morning said she'd love to be

a reporter talking about saving the whales and some other cool stuff so you know it's just a matter of time now to be fantastic yes that will be fine i think we have to go to malibu for that the beach we're going to be in malibu very soon couple next couple weeks you know one thing about max keiser that many people don't know is that you started i guess very very early teenager early twenty's working at a magic shop and you work for an illusionist and illusions are in our headlines today so i think you as an expert on allusions there who did you work for the max mill you know i worked in a magic factory that made magic tricks for mexico ya know la. is the famous south american magician this was back in the seventy's late seventy's there are times like the deuce near the deuce that's right near times square actually on forty

second street not far from bryant park they had his factory and i made that we made mouth coils very famous by maxwell and a lot of other kind of cheap plastic magic tricks until one day i showed up to work and he had disappeared cheap plastic magic tricks is actually a good headline for this episode because the first headline is a tweet the pool of negative yielding debt has risen to a new post twenty seventeen high of nine point two trillion dollars mind boggling at a time when the global economy is supposedly still recovering this is the market value of bloomberg barclays global aggregate negative debt index as you see negative yielding debt. is rising rising rising which suggests that in the real world outside of all magic that the central banks are the brilliant illusions they're putting forward for the population that the real people behind their curtain the bankers are terrified and they're willing to lose.
