1:03 pm
franco they were arrested and when their home was raided they discovered the police discovered one hundred seventeen automatic rifles now this home that was raided that had this huge cache of weapons was on the same street as balsa narrows home in rio furthermore when the police raided the home they did discover a large amount of computers in which they were they saw surveillance they were spying on left wing activists and journalists and political figures kind of keeping track of them and this right wing militia and gang activity sasa nations and such as the longstanding scourge on the nation of brazil let's review.
1:04 pm
now this house is not the first connection that balsam narrowness family have had to these right wing gangs out one of the latest examples was in january we had five former police officers arrested they were leaders of a powerful right wing militia and gang and the mother and wife of the leader of the
1:05 pm
gang was actually employed by the president's son by both the narrow son flavio and in fact there's actually this photograph that has surfaced of the president and his son posing with the gang members at a birthday party furthermore we see flavio the son of also in our own awarding a medal of honor to the leader of the gang now it's also important to note that in twenty eleven there was a judge who was brutally murdered and balls and arrows son flavio prior to the murder you know said that that she had humiliated police officers in a court session and that she had quote many enemies and similar statements were made by the president of brazil ball. so that was very very suspicious now the meeting between trump and balls in our zero is proceeding but prior to trump meeting with bolton r.-o. also our own men went and met with the u.s. central intelligence agency he met with the cia and during that meeting he is
1:06 pm

1:07 pm
on venezuela's crisis in your talks in rome today. i'm afraid not sir we have been able to discuss this in detail hole couple of hours with special envoy albums and he's team we were very frank discussion was i would say an example of how things can be done professionally but the difference is huge there fundamentalism aspects including on the aspect of russia recognizing used to haunt white boy as the interim president likewise the us was not able to sort of the stand why russia insists that. they're legitimate president before you sell a mist and you call us might do or. should be a respect. that as such an old problem should be resolved with respect to when you say hello with your involvement of the government illegitimate government which was voted into the power last year with recognition by many countries with full
1:08 pm
transparency and international observation washington continues to blame russia for the crisis in venezuela the secretary of state my pump calling russia and cuba for that matter bad actors who are starving venezuela how do you respond to that. you know we have further many blames on the part of the us in recent years the us deliberately tries to build up an image of russia as a bad guy in the classroom that's their choice we do believe that the only thing russia pursues internationally is the full respect to international law and the un charter we do remind our american counterparts that there are still such elementary things as sovereign equality of states and no one has ever dismantled the principle of interferes in domestic internal affairs of in the
1:09 pm
states likewise any problems that we may see enemies could and should be resolved. based on these and other principles of international law and through the channels available like international humanitarian is that usually we reject and we deny any reason to build up policies like the us press use on concepts like humean cherry needs mention which has been around for a while and was deliberately devise to you know build bases for something that was called early and still is being called as colored revolutions of talk about the human. terry night shortly first though the u.s. national security adviser john bolton reiterated that america's got all options on the table for venezuela as things stand as you say it after today's talks do you see that culminating in a military intervention. we strongly urged to your side during
1:10 pm
the talks today any temptation to resort to military power it includes our warning against so to say hard core message military intervention which cannot be excluded given that type of behavior we see on the u.s. side in recent years but it also includes what i would describe as low intensity conflict penetration into the sovereign territory of a new sale of from abroad a elements that could be described as part of military as to you know stage up for occasions or otherwise involved and interfering into the affairs of the state the u.s. also impose new sanctions on venezuela is tuesday why do you think washington goes to great lengths to highlight the humanitarian crisis in venezuela while simultaneously crippling the economy with sanctions. this is
1:11 pm
one of the most screaming elements of i would say political disconnect in the world is going on. in the policies or washington and some other states how can one blame the governments of some mismanagement on wrongdoing while simultaneously at the same time depriving these very government of huge assets may possess and was able to possess before i mean the rivers should be done in our view to assuage the humanitarian difficulties of the country and russia intends to continuously support. in material terms the provision of humanitarian assistance bilateral channels available for this also for other countries and i'm sure humanitarian agencies in geneva and elsewhere including charities of the church may
1:12 pm
well be used for these purposes we do not underestimate the gravity of communitarian the crisis but we are strongly against any attempts to use this situation for political reasons they are the big development we're reporting right now the representative of the venezuelan opposition. who says that they've taken control of venezuela diplomatic buildings and the united states to what extent is that legitimate given that they weren't elected into office. this is something that is completely illegitimate but we have ourselves experienced similar things were. russian diplomatic properties were deprived from russia when the russian diplomatic premises in the us were entered by the u.s. officers without any permission on the part of russia this is the we how we international law and normal practice is being looked into by the government of this country i think i'm tempted to say this is this is the very rules based world
1:13 pm
order that we should us and others advocate for to step in so others diplomatic premises just one example of these rules based order. and why do you see this heading of the future for venezuela if the united states keeps up its pressure. i will tell you that i'm very sure that with considerable sufficient degree of political will and reason. this situation could be over a common result what is what is needed most is political dialogue intravenous well and dialogue based on. constitution and international. able to offer good offices like the montenegro story most wanted to do mechanism and the holy see eventually as well may well play a role that would facilitate each of in
1:14 pm
a so on that alone there is no alternative to eat otherwise we will face further difficulties and the international system will suffer if this continues we urge everyone to consider how much this dialogue is needed to rather needed right now and we welcome the readiness of the government of nicolas maduro to confirm its openness for such an aisle and without him i know what diplomatic steps is russia going to take to help stabilize the political situation in venezuela. we intensify contacts across the board with everyone who is ready and eager and prepared to listen to us and we do not limit our dialogue only to those who look with concern on what the us and others like minded nations are doing and we have just talked to the brazilians we intend to continue talking to others at lima group. i think we will talk to the european union further on to others and we will
1:15 pm
continue our efforts with the u.s. i don't believe it's hopeless i think we have here a number of reasons to focus the explain what we believe is right we keep our mind open for counterproposals for criticism if you wish but the only viable we. away from the further deterioration would be that that all of. engagement and dialogue with all parties. showed that there's no progress made in rome the stuff today but it's good to end on that note of optimism thank you very much for your time sir. russian deputy foreign minister thanks for your time. thank you thank you. next the republic of catholic stance first and only president nursultan nazarbayev has resigned after almost three decades in power for national talks more about the
1:16 pm
unexpected announcement. as above has announced his resignation after twenty nine years in power a while serving his feet term as the country's president he had been in fact the first and only president of kazakstan since independence from the soviet union in nineteen ninety so this is something really big for eighteen million people for sure enough not on the survivor has announced his resignation in a special televised address to the nation earlier on tuesday 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 another during the start of. my status is the first president and leader
1:17 pm
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 countries of 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 bio of an expert say that most likely he will continue the policy. leaving the post of president of kazakhstan 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 played an important for as a regional player after the collapse of communism kazakhstan was set up for the
1:18 pm
first time coached and became sovereign state for the first. time in one nine hundred ninety and that piers or without twenty five years ago that's a generation ago and we can now look forward to a greater participation the younger educated generation a greater participation in politics and the way that because it's time goes so therefore the new president will 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 any rapid changes let's have gradual change but let's control change he says r.t. after the break the focus on facebook for live streaming terrorism. you know world's big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up
1:19 pm
to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufactured consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick.
1:20 pm
again 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 prime minister says 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 perpetuate their messages in the aftermath there is a lot of work that needs to be done for around seventeen minutes the gunman live streamed the massacre which left fifty people dead on facebook shortly after the video appeared on other social media sites as well the platforms did try to block the content but reportedly it could still easily be found hours after the atrocity
1:21 pm
. 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 constant using a combination of technology and people lose no we are working vigilantly to remove any violent footage. of facebook says it was only notified about what had happened twelve minutes after the live stream ended police in new zealand of warn people that spreading the video is punishable by imprisonment we put two lawyers had to head to ask how social media giant should address the challenges posed by their technologies. i respectfully submit that when you show violence a good human being 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
1:22 pm
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 that it doesn't 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 allowing your world and they have we're talking to you now and you're doing about t.v. do you know that talking about arguing people will hardly blinded from these
1:23 pm
sightings will fellow lying dead but you're not talking about how will this prevent it nobody's talking about provide to the question that should be banned them say yes and what i want facebook to do is if i put certain stories about certain political issues and 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 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 hour and author already to social media platforms to never run tent that that is 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 shouted down we'll talk
1:24 pm
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 or rep or 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
1:25 pm
thing is that they can't they will not facebook facing scrutiny not just over its handling of paid content but also for how it treats personal data it's been a year since the scandal broke over political consulting firm cambridge and it took a hit reportedly bought personal data from facebook which it then sold into third parties who used it to leverage political advantage going to court and whether facebook's privacy policies of change since then. 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
1:26 pm
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 foreign companies so what is facebook actually done aside from zuckerberg saying sorry that is that was a big mistake and 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 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
1:27 pm
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 to for all its 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 press reports raises substantial concerns to both the privacy broke to sophy's book it's been a year since the biggest privacy scandal in social media but at least facebook's gotten a round of censoring alternative media donald quarter r.t.
