the u.s. president. park in washington d.c. . faces a wave of allegations. of violent criminal gangs. keeping all options on the table for venezuela and is ready to discuss the possibility of brazilian. military intervention. right through from. the president. very priorities facebook to slow to stop the spread of. christ church. to secretly silence. i put certain stories about certain political issues.

but my concern is when they continue to these kinds of this kind of stuff that's only going to perpetuate shadows. international news this hour first off the brazilian president has made his first foreign trip since taking office is headed to the united states has met with donald trump and currently given a joint media conference a key part of the talks from brazil participating in a military operation in neighboring venezuela on monday an agreement was signed allowing washington to launch rockets and satellites from brazil. the u.s. to reduce fuel consumption by thirty percent for its launch is also on the agenda was an apparent trip to the cia for who some has been active about the spy agency on twitter. back home the brazilian media's primary focus isn't on the u.s.

visit instead it's on reports of the presidential family's alleged ties to violent gangs let's get up to speed on that now live to new york our correspondent caleb maupin hi there quite a surprise all this isn't it. indeed at this point bolsa naro who is meeting with u.s. president donald trump holding a press conference apparently he's facing a pretty big scandal back in brazil a scandal related to his family and their ties to right wing militia groups that have engaged in both murder and extortion now we saw that earlier this month the arrest of two former police officers who have been sharjah with the killing of councilwoman marielle franco she was assassinated they're charged with the killing now these individuals actually live on the same street that both in our lives in in rio where his rio home is located and when the house was raided they discovered one

hundred seventeen automatic rifles in the home as well as computers containing a whole lot large amount of intelligence and surveillance of left wing activists left wing journalist as well as left wing political leaders now right wing militias and the terrorist activities they've engaged in have long been a scourge on brazil let's review some of what the country has faced.

now in addition to that there was a scandal in january when five members of a right wing gang were arrested and it turned out that the mother and wife of the leader of that gang was employed by the president's son flavio president also naro son flavio was actually employing the mother and the wife of the leaders of that gang in addition to that the president and his son were seen posing at a birthday party with members of the gang and flavio awarded a medal of honor a brazilian medal of honor on to one of the gang's leaders and now in two thousand

and eleven a judge was brutally murdered and prior to the murder which many suspected was the work of these kind of right wing militia operations many says noted that both flavio the son of also an r. and b. also naro made statements basically saying that this judge had humiliated police officers and could have anime and and it was it was quite harsh are referring to evil outcomes in the hunt for security agents so when asked about potential ties to these murders and his family's connections with these right wing paramilitary organizations up also now responded this is what he said the media has always criticized me they wanted to say was a clear connection but i never saw the gentleman in my gated community i don't read is going to have much time to you know you can gauge and social life with them. now it's important to note that this is actually both scenarios first international trip since he was elected president of brazil he is meeting today with u.s.

president donald trump however earlier he met with the u.s. central intelligence agency the cia at a closed doors meeting with paulson r.-o. and in addition to that he spoke to the u.s. chamber of commerce and when he spoke to the u.s. chamber of commerce paulson r.-o. remarked nowadays you have a president who is a friend of the united states and admires this beautiful country speaking glowingly of donald trump so people have their eyes on the white house where the two leaders the leader of brazil and leader of the united states are having their historic meeting ok we'll let you get back across that news conference and check in with you later finale though in new york a developing thanks. donald trump is keeping all options on the table when it comes to venezuela and says he knows exactly what he wants to open. well every options on the table with respect to venezuela in your life if you get involved or. if you so i don't know we haven't even discussed it we're going to discuss it today it comes

as the u.s. imposes a new round of economic sanctions on the crisis head venezuela this tuesday this time targeting the nation's state run mining company the move comes after venezuela denounced what it's calling the seizure of its diplomatic buildings in the united states they're now under the control of opposition representatives in washington and new york caracas described that as an illegal and forcible occupation with the crisis in venezuela deepening the russian deputy foreign minister met with the u.s. special envoy for venezuela earlier this tuesday to discuss the political turmoil in caracas last hour i spoke to the russian deputy foreign minister sergei riyadh cove on what they discussed. 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. was able to possess before i mean the rivers should be done in our view to us we are tearing difficulties for

all of the country and russia intends to continuously support the use in material terms through provision of humanitarian assistance 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 see it after today's talks to see that culminating in a military intervention. we strongly urge the u.s. side during the talks to be. any temptation to resort to military power it includes a warning against soldiers the 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. elements that could be described this problem military

as to you know stage up for occasions or otherwise involved and interfering into the affairs of the state. the republic of catholic stands first and only president national town not a bias has resigned after almost three decades in power rif a national told us more about the 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 the 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 that i'm a survivor has announced his resignation in a special televised address to the nation earlier into the 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 in other during 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 countries of pollen meant 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 on the survivor

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 plain for them for as a regional player. an option of their let's bring in the political analyst welcome to the program how surprised were you by this move and what do you think prompted this resignation. i was surprised and i think that everybody is surprised as this moves but. there are two aspects when i make this symbolical i mean needs to last soviet time a leader who is leaving his office and it's. it's the end of and era of what we can call both iraq and dr oz of course is symbolical important but i think also in your context and was under threat quite often after its

independence up to now it's basically there were different rulers of so-called color evolution and. thinking that maybe. now is are by ed did is. in case of some opposition would would do it arrived here he already changed. you know the direction of the country and to a certain next night i think it's a doctor move which is quite interesting. to open the way to to a new generation which lead the country anyway in the future and so what do you think the immediate impact for bay and psychotics dow thirty years is a long time to have wonga. yes i don't think that there will be much impact because obviously now is our by if he's not leaving every office he's leaving to of course the office of presidency but still he will be a very important man obviously and he's team will be still

on power so it's a rather i would say a costly thick move for the moment but preparing of course don't you generation to leave the country with such a new generation coming in then what do you think the geopolitical implications are going to move seeing kazakstan reorienting itself on the world stage i don't think i think that kazakhs time is very linked with europe. asian integration rose initially it was also good links with china and dieting. it will not be it's a big change i think that good enough r.b.i. of the right will rather reinforce. state. and really good to make it to a certain extent. but in the same place for nearly three decades playstyle he still has the power to pull surprises are right for that but i'd ask you thanks very much

for that. you're this is out say after the break the focus on facebook after the life streaming of terrorism. i didn't say the numbers mean something they've measured the u.s. with over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent in the world market goes thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three first second per second and fifth when he rose to twenty

thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know for them it's the one and only boom box. welcome back facebook is facing sharp criticism for failing to prevent the live streaming of friday's mosque shootings indeed seen and and the subsequent circulation of that 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 events 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 lifestream to 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 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 constant using a combination of technology and people blues know we are working vigilantly to remove any violent footage. facebook says that it was only notified about what happened twelve minutes after the live stream ended and police in new zealand have warned people that spreading the video is punishable by imprisonment we put to

lawyers head to head to ask how social media giants should address 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 a second you know whatever and out of the aisle here we're not they have we're talking to you now and you're telling me about keeping you 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 talked about prevent you 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 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. ject and hour and authority to social media platforms to tense that that is let us know 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 do 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 is 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 facebook is facing public scrutiny not just over its handling of hate content but also how it treats personal data it's been eight years since the scandal broke over political consulting firm cambridge analytical it reportedly both personal data from facebook which then sold on the third parties and used it to leverage political advantage don't call to look so whether facebook's privacy policies have changed much 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 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 more cloud companies so what is facebook actually done aside from zuckerberg saying sorry that is now it 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 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 teen 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 to for all its alex did not deceive them this was not a scam facebook knew exactly would 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's got the round of censoring alternative media donald quarter r.t. . the french armed forces minister has attacked the trumpet ministration for putting pressure on washington's nato allies to buy u.s. made weapons she says the integrity of the military grouping shouldn't 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 and 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's stressed that it is time 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 a 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 recent spat between the u.s. and turkey and the us a blast at turkey's refusal to abandon its deal with russia to buy russia's as four hundred air defense systems now it called 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 robel 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 four hundred missile defense system

calling for you were to become more and more independent from us weapons supplies is not something new just last year the french presence in one way and mccraw in the voice stay decades old idea to create a real 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 needle 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 that it seems the french minister's comments to shed in neighboring germany which from these to its budget plan on tuesday revealing that it will be cutting back its nato spending by twenty twenty three a former advisor to the french defense and interior ministers we spoke to believes he needs to leave nato to become more independent i would also the question all

the european. countries realizing that us are no more our allies that's a good thing and i would say i am rather happy that trunk has been elected because now i know he says. more abruptly more. in a brutal and vulgar way the real barely see of the us regarding europe and regarding france particularly my country unless we leave nato we cannot built we cannot go further in the construction of a european independence and european defense that's. the main point and i think the trial is helping us in realizing this fact which is a pure fact ok that's that is so far this tuesday or next r.t.
