reason may further inflame tensions over by asking the e.u. to push back the rapidly approaching to full state. donald trump official or. facebook backs down apologizes after banning the accounts of the us president's social media chief. and scrapping treaties and weaponize ing space moscow once again spiraling into a new arms race in the twenty first century. a reality h.q. in moscow it's wednesday night at ten in the russian capital it's seven pm in the

u.k. that's where we're going to start because the mall there looks set to continue well beyond that fast approaching march twenty ninth deadline trees a maze now written to the e.u. to request a three month extension to the withdrawal process a move the prime minister staunchly defended in parliament. i have this morning written to present to us the president of the european council informing informing him that the u.k. seeks an extension to the article fifty period until the thirtieth of june as prime minister. i am not prepared to delay breaks it any further than this. just a wee over a week to go until that official broke the deadline is supposed to kick in here we are with the british prime minister requesting officially an extension to article fifty requesting that the deadline be pushed back she calls it a short one three months long until june thirtieth and of course she had

to make her case not just with brussels by sending a letter officially requesting this to the european council but also here in westminster where she is still battling on trying to convince her m.p.'s to support her but according to teresa mayes critics nothing about what's been going on has been reasonable or sensible all she's doing is running down the clock after a second heavy defeat to date was just marks one thousand days since the referendum and this government is led the country and themselves into crisis chaos and division well just to be clear for any such extension to actually be able to take place we need to see european member states to all come together and approve such an extension and we have seen in response to official to the official plea from theresa mean to have an extension a statement made by the european council president. believe the show to extension

would people should be. about to have the condition of all the polls to vote on that was the road we meant in the house of well where this leaves to research. a really remains uncertain at this particular moment of course if you remember this is the deal that has been rejected twice at the house of commons so here he is saying that we want you to approve this deal and then you can have the extension while this is a deal that you know is not getting approval here in westminster so the way things stand now we are indeed done nine days away from march twenty ninth then legally speaking this is when the u.k. or where britain is supposed to leave the european union unless some kind of magical new development takes place. a case of mistaken identity has forced facebook into making an apology after a ban donald trump's social media director believing him to be

a bot kind of open as the details. we have an apology from facebook for banning the account of dan scavenger the white house social media director they are confirming that it is indeed outrageous to claim that he was a bot that the account was definitely not a bot account it was a legit account and that he should not have been blocked in order to stop automated bots we count the amount of identical repetitive activity coming from one account in a short period of time such as mentioning people these limits can have the unintended consequence of temporarily preventing real people like bans convener from engaging in such activity but lift in an hour or two which is what happened in this case we've been in touch with him and have apologized for the inconvenience trump was quick to speak up on social media saying that it was a political move not motivated by alleged bot activity trump spoke up saying facebook google and twitter not to mention the corrupt media are so on the side of

the radical left democrats but fear not we will win anyway just like we did before he also attacked the media as he often does when speaking to reporters during his meeting with bowles and narrow use the word collusion very loosely all the time and i will tell you there is collusion with respect to that because something has to be going on and when you get the back scene back office statements made by executives of the various companies and you see the level of. in many cases hatred they have for a certain group of people that happened to be in power that happened to have won the election you say that's really unfair a conservative lawmaker devon noone is his at this point suing twitter saying that it discriminates against conservatives that hides the message of conservatives and highlights libel and slander against conservatives at this point there is widespread criticism of social media outlets for the fact that they seem to have

a huge amount of influence in crafting public opinion. and not only in the united states but around the world and many of the conservatives who are now criticizing social media monitor police they essentially argue that they are abusing that power . censorship concerns are also being debated in australia at the moment on tuesday the country's largest telecoms company blocked access to a number of websites that are continuing to display footage of friday's mosque attacks in new zealand telstra says that while it's considered the implications for freedom of speech it believes the measures necessary given the circumstances. we have moved to temporarily block a number of websites that continue to host of friday's terrorist attack in christ church when the stand this may cause inconvenience for some legitimate uses of these sites but these are extraordinary circumstances and they're required an extraordinary response we appreciate that it is necessary to ensure free speech is carefully balanced against protecting the community but with these sites continuing

to host disturbing content we feel it is the right thing to do to block them and the move comes as pressure mounts on tech companies and social media sites to explain why they allowed videos of the massacre to appear on their platforms the authorities in australia are also investigating whether a number of national t.v. stations use the footage appropriately and in new zealand itself the three largest broadband providers have temporarily suspended access to sites hosting images of the atrocity of facebook's perhaps borne the brunt of the criticism though for around seventeen minutes the government live stream to the massacre on the platform though it says it work to remove the footage it could still reportedly be found with relative ease hours after the shootings previously activist and technology expert bill muse says that effectively policing content is an unwinnable battle. obviously we had to have rules in terms of taste and decency and what is or is not offensive but what some people would argue is offensive other people can argue speech and it's very difficult for regulations to define this for all circumstances

and therefore very difficult for some of the hosting providers actually to moderate accurately especially given the volume of content and the difficulty of this moment in time for any form of ai to differentiate in terms of what appears in the video it's very very difficult and then of course there's a lot of talk now about encryption and if more and more content especially messaging platforms starts to become encrypted you need an even game to be able to see what's there so any form of moderated imposition is going to be impossible. russia's foreign minister is warning against the emergence of a new arms race on an even greater scale than the cold war speaking at a disarmament conference in geneva sergey lavrov said he regrets america's willingness to undermine some cornerstone treaties on controlling weapons stockpiles in turn washington question moscow's intentions in preventing an arms race is artie's more of an option. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov i have

to say has been very critical and has in fact accused america of destabilizing world security lover of has expressed his dippers concerns frustration and fear is over the current situation in the field of nonproliferation of weapons and global arms control emphasizing that efforts designed to destroy global basic agreements that proved to be doing their job well in guaranteeing world security and protecting international peace are rising and this is a very dangerous tendency a lover of has particularly referred to america's recent withdrawal from the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty known as the i am after treaty signed between moscow and washington back in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven warning that the recent developments may turn threats of nuclear warhead into a groom reality. through which we are now hearing is talk of the possibility of unleashing a limited nuclear war for russia and i hope all the other countries represented

here such a prospect is unacceptable however such a scenario could become a reality if we together fail to find a sensible alternative to recent tendencies aimed at undermining the very edifice of arms control treaties should there be a new arms race a lot of countries will rely on their nuclear and missile arsenals as the only guarantee of their national security russia has responded by saying it will also suspend its obligations under the agreement but speaking of the conference in geneva earlier on wednesday minister lavrov has stressed that it wasn't russia's decision and wasn't russia's initiative russia has simply responded and russia remains open for the dialogue and is not interested in any way in arms race with a washington but as mosco can see right now washington is not ready for these dollars and this is what minister lavrov has read to rated. one more time and he

has brought among other things america's recent steps in developing space miss our defense program alarming steps as believes. the u.s. funds have been earmarked for the establishment of a space missile defense system as well as putting strike capabilities into orbit this is opening pandora's box as minister lavrov has said russia hopes and believes that its western partners colleagues are responsible for global security and at the end of the day the future of the mankind will hear russia's voice and follow the right path. tensions between the e.u. and hungary over immigration have come late in the suspension of far right prime minister viktor orban party from the european parliament's largest political grouping. feeders will be suspended with immediate effect until further notice following today's vote of the members this is pension entails no attendance of any

party meeting new voting rights no right to propose candidates for posts. the final straw for the decision became an anti immigration ban a campaign launched by organised party billboards also have photos of young billionaire george soros after a massive majority voted to sideline organs party gary leader said it agreed to a voluntary suspension right let's bring in negativity boy who's at the center for political analysis in budapest welcome to the program thanks for joining us how significant is this move that viktor orban party has been suspended from the e.u.'s largest political grouping the the center right group. it is a more because it is. can be seen at a party could be suspended from the european people party so yes this move is significant for the future of the utopian people party and for feeders

as we heard. after the election can board five t. sity side in which you do auction the day we had a move that means event of us can ring me or we'll he mean into european peoples party and the leadership of the whole pm people party can all sort decide after the election what they're doing dad will. exclude with fetus from door e.p. peel or not so death means that to do parties we didn't do enough p.p. head just gave in return time for them sans that means that the e.p. . don't we should too by door it's sad sad bourse free to us all we do issues so he does and that's. these decision of today

can be seen as a compromise but i think in the end time or bank can laugh. i just already read the article. of vested in you and you were spear very. important your space. was a poor and accordingly says that the said decision of the e.p. p. of course part tool we too were feeders so that means. seventy then stand. christ. one. more more. and more strong move x. exclusion of all fetus but what's this going to do for hungary in viktor orban standing in the european parliament then because last september there was an

unprecedented move to try and discipline hungary over some of the moves that viktor orban have made over and the immigration he's been extremely outspoken i'm about it and let's be honest he spent taxpayers' money blatantly lying about immigration policy what's it going to do for his reputation in europe. there is a legal and political i never asked for any good to eat decision has nothing to do all of it legal procedure so again so hung how guilty and government a specially hungry based on the saturn all of the usual. uni only treaty and this is the illegal. thing the political or is this an end to. the half c. in political decision regarding fetus membership in the you know at the end people

party it is. a good thing for fetus that fetus can remain in the utopia and people party parliamentary group that means that. the fetus members in the e.p. be a parliamentary group or they can we meaning in their parliamentary group so that means that the suspension is real because he just cannot take part in any meetings or e.p.t. however dead decision and doesn't refer. to the activities in the e.p. a parliamentary group and one small thing. yes of the side does this make things rather fractured than heading into the european parliament elections in may is not going to cause him and some to right group some problems come polling day yes it can have. fractions can happen because there are problems about

fetus couldn't be sort of. decision and off duty. yet all blame was all only. because the. excluded from their membership all he did to me is there during this is. gone fleet sure there are facts. in the future. ok i really appreciate your insights on that and i go to war from the center for political analyst in budapest really appreciate it i'm thankful. thank you for. a forty year war crime sentence given to a former bosnian serb leader has been extended by a u.n. court rather than carried it has now been sentenced to life behind bars for his role in the civil wars that gripped the former yugoslavia in the one nine hundred

ninety s. five judges held the verdict given back in twenty sixteen for the mass killings of civilians in the conflict carriage argued that there was no evidence of him committing the crimes now seventy three years old carriage has been had been on the run for twelve years before he was finally arrested in two thousand and eight he was found guilty on ten counts including overseeing the siege of sarajevo which is now the capital of bosnia and herzegovina the appeals court now confirmed his guilt in what's been described as the worst massacres since the second world war including these for brits a massacre which left thousands dead in one thousand nine hundred five. the yugoslav was the bloodiest conflicts in european history since the second world war. tensions between a complex mix of nationalities forming the state of yugoslavia erupted into a fit civil war originate yugoslavia included six republics with different

nationalities and religious groups. the communist revolutionary and statesman tito who established the federal republic of yugoslavia managed to suppress nationalism. to his death in the one nine hundred eighty s. relations among the republics quickly deteriorated with each of them seeking their own independence as soon turned ugly old saw in. the nine hundred ninety five genocide in tripper needs it is one of the bloodiest pages in yugoslav history the massacre of more than eight thousand muslim both the acts perpetrated by units of the bulls. resulted in that c'mon there ratko manage being jailed for life by the un special court in november twenty seventh. procedural cities happened over old sites in one thousand nine hundred three sixty nine so been civilians were killed by balls and herzegovina army forces in the

scale and a massacre to the north the docs church in a cemetery bugs in the ground. over all despite much evidence of war crimes conducted similar tenuously by different forces the cia eventually declared said militants were responsible but ninety percent of crimes including genocide. they took goes into action against yugoslavia it is indeed tragic that diplomacy has failed nato is now intervening in a war in a sovereign country. and. nato air campaign conducted a number of operations one to mind the military capability hold the ball seems to me. to this day the un special court is still investigating war crime cases from the conflict. we had from belgrade based research just i got to chair says it's many sabean's facing convictions despite all sides being party to the conflict and

its crimes. i think that he also feels you stay sickly for historical reasons so that there is a trace of him feeling and i think that he is still acting as a politician as the first president of. the hague tribunal was a political court that was set out to to convict serbs even if you look at the basic statistics more than seventy percent of all people who are indeed she were from the search site and sort of more all the political leaders were trials and convicted while the undersides were not there. the president of brazil has been labeled the trump of the tropics for both the likeness and his persona and his policies so it was perhaps a little surprising the job also not right first official for a visit saw him touch down in the u.s.

this week the real donald trump was keen to get that relationship off to a solid stuff. i also know that we're going to have a fantastic working relationship. we have many views that are similar and we certainly feel very very true to each other on trade i think brazil's relationship with the united states because of our friendship is probably better than it's ever been by far. respect whatever the ballots tell us on twenty twenty but i do believe donald trump is going to be reelected fooling you up a little. thank you for a fact or meeting began on a cheery note with the two leaders exchanging football shirts with one another's names on twitter was quick to pick up on which president got the real deal when it came to the show. and. this is the u.s. national team and so that's an honor to give that to you thank you very much for.

trying to give us a narrative jerry see with paper tape tahn té it i'm howling. out of boston oracular trump legit and trump. this is humiliating. conversation between two of trump's aides they gave us a brazil jersey for our president but we didn't prepare anything for him what should we do now i know just get me a white short a printer some paper and glue and. twenty years ago for a fantasy book to hit it big exceptional script work and a lot of marketing but perhaps pretty much all you needed but these days things are quite different and you're expected not only to write an unfolding story but also

to address current political and social trends so what do you do if your old best seller doesn't quite measure up to the new standards well perhaps you could tweak the characters of it. i can't you can. liken it to. their relationship was incredibly intense it was passionate and it was enough relationship i'm less interested in the sexual side though i believe there is a section to mention to this relationship. wow in another great preparation from j.k. rowling. j.k. rowling confirm some cuts in the books abuse ok everywhere except in the books of the movies there were scenes in the movie that look cut for time and had they

remained it would clearly shown temple was gay i just received an hour from here who should not be. aware of this don't tell me voldemort has retained her don't phone demote jerry mike. white skin was never specified while the knobs block my. minds my face be sticking out from behind a tree. you read that book yeah why fake i agree yeah he's a transgender. and i'm using a wheelchair i have down syndrome what is going to churches actually i don't know all of them. she pokes notes about gay relationships that simply a fact but obviously what she does do is after

a few years you know where the ticket sales are down and what they sells the books with out there what she does is she just comes up. with a few little things to get out into the media and there's a saying look good looks well you know this is show business and she has the rights to deal with that but i don't think that most people look at our reports of coke and think if one of the great works of gay liberation that is ever existed in the world i'm not like so because it's intended for children i don't think that it's appropriate to explore very adult fables when you're dealing with children ok that's the way it looks from moscow this hour going underground on the way taking on alleged islam a phobia in britain throwing conservative party the chaos that i'm much more at as next only on r.t. .

you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up 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 bad 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. most of us are and believe we live in a society based on merit and equal justice the varsity blues college admissions scandal inform us that both are true the rich and privileged can buy access for their kids at the expense of families who are hardworking and on is the idea of marriage.

time after time they were going underground as u.k. minority government leader theresa may sound on the brink of resignation amid the continuing wreck that chaos coming out of the show ahead of the one year anniversary of the great march a return to that sort of a six thousand palestinians killed and injured we speak to the palestinian ambassador to the u.k. about allegations of british backed israeli war crimes and is britain just another e.u. member selling out its people's wishes we speak to a greek series. known for the economic hit men of the new liberalism plus some headlines why posturing pompei was too scared of war crimes inquiries while comic corp and seems to be gunning for more inquiries in the bloody sunday dollars or more coming up in today's going on the ground but first many statistics show so-called christian terrorism supplanting so-called islamic terrorism this after

successive attacks from nation states and lone gunmen on muslims and the left all around the world all so-called terrorist attacks last year in the usa were apparently right wing the head of christ church but the response to the new zealand massacre has been puzzling to those familiar with the founding of the former british colony take a recent new zealand t.v. investigation nearly two hundred years since the worst of the british settler genocides that appears to have suddenly discovered the meanings of kiwi statues and investigation by t.v. theories the nation has uncovered some unpleasant history behind many of new zealand's public statues as him across the reports genocide and racism can be linked to some well known and celebrated colonial figures there's a surprise then there while new zealand has arguably still not come to terms with its white supremacist past the country has been sending its soldiers to support nato actions in predominantly muslim countries afghanistan for instance this was originally a us. and the yearly dies. new zealand first came in here and took time

i think it doesn't matter we only need. missions kiwis have this and here and desire to continue to build and build and build new zealanders in iraq to date the astray a new one. this is a significant contribution to the iraqi four. and already we are now looking forward to trying to fill two thousand soldiers in the coming weeks and like nato nations do zealand's ties with israel are growing no surprise then that on syria new zealand policy is so close to that of israel and the u.k. is the kind of attack. given the veto power was used at the security council by russia which is something we strongly condemned view.
