5:02 pm
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 duty today 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
5:03 pm
an extension and we have seen in response to official to the official plea from theresa may 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 the positive vote on that was the moment in the house of well where this leaves to resubmit a really remains uncertain at this particular moment of course if you remember the . 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. a case of mistaken identity has forced facebook into making an apology now after a bound phone from social media director believing him to be
5:04 pm
a bot auntie's kind of more of the details. of 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 could be no 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
5:05 pm
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 balsa naro used 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 conservative lawmaker devon noone is his at this point suing twitter saying that it discriminates against conservatives that it hides the message of conservatives and highlights libel and slander against conservatives at this point there is widespread criticism of social media outlets
5:06 pm
for the fact that they seem to have a huge amount of influence in crafting public opinion not only in the united states but around the world and many of the conservatives who are now criticizing social media. they essentially argue that they are abusing that power. censorship concerns are also a big debate is in australia of the bomb and 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's what is considered the implications for freedom of speech and believes that the measures necessary given the circumstances . we have moved to temporarily block a number of websites that continue to host a 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
5:07 pm
community but with these sites continuing to host disturbing content we feel it is the right thing to do to block them move comes as pressure mounts on tech companies and social media sites to explain why they allowed the video of the massacre to appear on their platforms the authorities in australia are also investigating whether a number of national t.v. stations used the footage appropriately and in new zealand itself the three largest broadband providers have temporarily suspended access to sites hosting images of the atrocity. facebook's perhaps borne the brunt of the criticism though for around seventeen minutes the gunman live streamed to the massacre on the platform although it says it worked to remove the footage and could still be reportedly found with relative ease hours after the shootings previously activist and technology expert bill mears says that effectively policing content is an unwinnable battle. obviously we have need to have rules in terms of taste and decency in what is or is not offensive but what some people would argue is offensive other people can argue
5:08 pm
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 the messaging platform 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 so goal of rob's said he regrets america's willingness to undermine some cornerstone treaties on controlling weapons stockpiles and in turn washington questioned moscow's intentions in preventing an arms race here's artie's maria phenomena. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov i
5:09 pm
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 africa is 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 in. which we are now hearing is talk of the possibility of
5:10 pm
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 that 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 radio. one more time and he
5:11 pm
has brought among other things america's recent steps aimed developing space missile defense program alarm and 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. united states is being accused of possible war crimes in somalia in a damning new report the rights group amnesty international says it's on earth compelling evidence that fourteen civilians are being killed in just five of america strikes since twenty seventeen the civilian death toll we've uncovered in just a handful of strikes suggests the shroud of secrecy surrounding the u.s.
5:12 pm
role in the war is actually smokescreen for impunity. i'm just he says the u.s. military has carried out more than one hundred asteroids in somalia since twenty seventeen and the number of civilian deaths may be far higher than fourteen washington dramatically stepped up its anti terror operations in the impoverished east african country to gauge ago donald trump requested despite that the u.s. africa command maintains that it has not killed or even wounded a single civilian in somalia the u.s. says only taffeta concentrated on eliminating the al qaeda linked militant group al-shabaab the editor of the pan-african news watch told me last hour that the united states has failed to justify its military role in somalia. while africa has to justify a. war to. the horn of africa nation of somalia this is escalated since the trumpet ministration has been off in office for the last two years there's absolutely no results so on this other than turning more people in
5:13 pm
somalia against us now it's the and of course we've heard for decades now that these bombs our perception. was that they did not harm civilians we know that that is not the case these a methodology. to test out these weapons they can just label people as being al qaeda or isis and then therefore people should not question how many people have died on the ground but these problems in somalia have been the developing decades and they should be dealt with diplomatically is no military solution to the question of who is going to control somalia. the integration between the e.u. in hungary has now led to the suspension of far right prime minister viktor orban party from the european parliament's largest political grouping. feeder's will be
5:14 pm
suspended with immediate effect until further notice following today's vote of the members this is pension entails no attendance of any party meeting no voting rights no right to propose candidates for posts the final straw in that decision was an anti immigration post a campaign launched by orban and his party billboards hinted at a sinister link between he knew to be drunk or drunkard and billionaire philanthropist george soros which was captioned you have the right to know what brussels is preparing for you after a large majority voted to sideline organ's party from the e.u. sent a wide group to hungary and later openly agreed to a voluntary suspension i got reaction from a hungry based political analyst who believes that the party suspension could complicate the upcoming european parliamentary elections. we have seen it will lead to a good decision this just ensure is because he does cannot date by in any meetings or e.p.
5:15 pm
be allowed word decision and it doesn't refer. to do any activities in the ethiopian parliamentary group there are probably about feeders couldn't be stalled . decisions off duty. debt or blame it was all in the last ball and that means there during the suspension conflicts or sure there are factions happening in the future. german politicians have lashed out at the us ambassador for criticizing berlin's defense spending. any u.s. diplomat who acts like a high commissioner of an occupying power must learn that our tolerance also knows its limits mr grant always a total failure of a diplomat all of this behavior is rather boorish with his repeated clumsy provocations mr grenell is harming transatlantic relations since mr grinnell took
5:16 pm
up his pearls as invested in berlin he has on several occasions quote because bush has three interfered in the international affairs of the federal republic of germany his behavior in the host country is anything but diplomatic and rather ruminants and over the governor of an empire or ambassador richard grenell has been repeatedly accused of trying to pressure german politicians and businessmen he's or germany to pull out of the north korean gas pipeline project with russia and contribute more to nato former u.s. diplomat jim jatra thinks germany is starting to question it alliance with washington. mr grinnell does have president trump personal support now there was talk that mr grenelle might be moved to the united nations when nikki haley left but that didn't happen so i think it would be very embarrassing for the administration who would draw him the problem is is that we have now have an american ambassador who is on call ish about it especially with demands about spending more money on nato and you can't have five g.
5:17 pm
from walk away and you must not be buying. russian gas in complete the north stream to pipeline that it's starting to get on their nerves and maybe beginning to dawn on some people in germany that maybe this american relationship is not all it's cracked up to be now some people want to say this whole question of style but i think it's becoming clear that it's really more a question of. so it's only now where a pact school bus was hijacked and set on fire by its drive on wednesday in protest against migrant deaths in the mediterranean the fifty one children on board did manage to escape as the driver and italian citizen of a senegalese all rigid douse the vehicle in petrol and set ablaze police say that he shouted no more deaths at sea and that no one will survive the incident happened in the suburbs of milan in northern italy fourteen of the passages a said to be receiving treatment for smoke inhalation italian prosecutors are investigating whether the hijacking had a terrorist motive. the president of brazil has been labeled as
5:18 pm
the trump of the tropics for both the likeness in his persona and also his policies so it is perhaps a little surprise that john bolton are as first official for a visit so him touched down in the united states this week and the real donald trump was keen to get their relationship off to a solid stop. they 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 factory. the meeting began on a cherry note with the two leaders exchanging football shirts with one another's
5:19 pm
names on but twitter was quick to pick up on what president of the real deal when it came to the shirt swap. and. this is the u.s. national team and so that's an honor to give that to you thank you very much for that. trump gave both summarily jury c. with paper taped on tate i'm howling. how does paulson oracular trump a legit jersey and trump gives him this. 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
5:20 pm
a printer some paper and good and. no doubt you'll be pleased to hear the doomsday has apparently been delayed some fact checking by a news agency has exposed flaws in claims made by us democrats there's just over a decade left to save the earth from global warming and you've been trying to report. even back when t.v.'s looked like that kids cartoons would portray those saving us from pollution as superheroes kept. coming to. see today you just can't be a successful democrat and presidential hopeful without being a bit of captain planet democrats be like how do i sound cool and make republicans look bad at the same time. thank god there is climate change the scientists are
5:21 pm
absolutely unanimous on this that we have no more than twelve years to take incredibly bold action on this crisis what the intergovernmental panel on climate change say is that we have twelve years twelve years and we're like the world is going to end in twelve years if we don't address climate change why this kerry deadline of twelve years a few months ago u.n. environmental experts put together yet another alarming report showing the earth is continuing to heat up it's bad for the planet and everyone who lives on it some interpret it the following way experts say that we have until twenty thirty to avoid catastrophe the world has little more than a decade time is running out to prevent global warming and he says the time's up andrea that the world has to do something we're reaching the cliff edge a little faster quite a bit faster and so it snowballed into a big trendy protest children have the impression their generation could be doomed
5:22 pm
. that we have twelve years to turn this around but suddenly there's that hoops moment the associated press checks what those who want to run for the white house after say for facts what was it that mr o'rourke said again the scientists are absolutely unanimous on this that we have no more than twelve years so a.p. actually got in touch with the scientists the panel did not say we have twelve years left to save the world this has been a persistent source of confusion the report never said we only have twelve years left well have a look at what they wrote on some liberal websites after the a.p. piece came out better is right on climate and the a.p. fact check is wrong it is the a.p. this is incorrect about climate change. no rule oh sure how can a democrat candidate get something wrong especially when his party essentially
5:23 pm
chose to rely on the so-called green new deal ahead of the election it's a set of proposals to address climate change you just can't lead down your next generation of voters does a matter of faith and belief by guys like bedo and others who will walk out and say the world is going to end in twelve years and not receive any pushback and there's no laughter there's no one going now you've got to be kidding me there's no one standing up to them and say you've clearly lost your mind which you have are a bunch of coreligionists of the room nodding in going yes it's terrible it leaves must do something elections and in this country anyway or are not about convincing middle they're about turning out your base and keeping the other guy's votes home and if you want to turn out your base and you're a leftist candidate preaching about climate change and how the other side is determined to see us all die horribly that's going to do get the job done for you. twenty years ago for a fantasy book to hit it big exceptional script work and
5:24 pm
a lot of marketing with perhaps only really needed but these days things are very different than you expected no need to write an enthralling story but also to address current political and social trends so what do you do if your old bestseller doesn't quite measure up to the new standards perhaps tweaking characters a bit. i can't you can. i can see. their relationship was incredibly intense it was passionate and it was another 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 revelation from j.k. rowling. j.k.
5:25 pm
rowling confirm some cuts in the books abuse ok everywhere except in the book so the movies there were scenes in the movie that look cut for time and had they remained it would have 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 my. white skin was never specified while the knobs block my. mind is why i say specifics now from behind a tree. you read that book yeah what a guy great yeah he's actually trying to gender. and i'm using a wheelchair help i have down syndrome what is going to church is actually i don't
5:26 pm
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 luck to us you know this is show business and she has the rights to do 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 lee 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 news for this hour next how to cope in a strictly male dominated society with a remand in one household with the afghan women forced to reject their agenda for the sake of their families.
