2:05 am
minister in fact when he was voted out by the deputies was in front of the senate. answering for what happened with these mercenaries so i think yes the whole mercenary story has played a role one from the questions everybody had about it and now that our story has come out and basically. torn off the lives or pulled back the curtain on this story i think that this is going to create even more outrage and more consternation. on the part of the haitian people. a ten million people marched across london on saturday calling for a second price that my friend in need is agreed to give u.k. short takes time that's all the time to parliament price check to imus ties raised

2:07 am
if you have a council they greased an extension until the. center for a true. radio . onto the very. i. think two to our poll. and there's still empty in the. it means that that a lot of space. because i when briggs it was first announced as an idea as a concept and there was no meat on the ball as to what the concept of what the process actually would mean and we start off in a place with such uncertainty is no surprise us to the situation room now so unless
2:08 am
the identity of briggs it is made clear that these disruptions and stalling methods will only continue i think the sentiment right now in parliament is that. it's almost an impossibility of this deal going through and if it does go through it will go through under very pressured measures which means peace in parliament won't vote with what they believe is to be the best way for forward but will do it because the time pressures are so tight which always holds parliament to run and saying this is the only deal we have and you better put it through because your certainties are too big and too widespread to even imagine. he zealand has announced it will buying all types of assault rifles and simulcast automatic weapons the pledge comes after fifty people were massacred in a mass shooting last. week the new legislation is set to be in place by april the eleventh the ban also extends to weapon attachments as used by the christ church
2:09 am
shooters such as high capacity magazines go with will be offered a buy back scheme as part of an amnesty period those in possession of a banned weapon after this period could face punishment prime minister just into our day and says the cost of the buyback scheme is the price that must be paid to ensure the safety of communities. he says spragg did attack a published a manifesto a few hours before the shooting describing his motives and plans. this is one of new zealand's darkest days.
2:10 am
the shooter stream the attack via facebook the video then quickly spread across the internet something facebook was criticised for especially given how quickly it can crack down on certain types of political content new zealand's prime minister demanded answers from social media platforms over the live streaming and rapid sharing of the terror attack i would call on our social media platforms of all variety to demonstrate the kind of responsibility that leads to these events and that includes stars who perpetuate the messages in the aftermath there's a lot of work that needs to be done. facebook responded saying the video didn't trigger its warning systems it has introduced steps to improve the way it converts hate speech we discuss this with our guests. 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
2:11 am
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 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 when you
2:12 am
have whatever attitude allowing your world or not 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 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 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 seven. ject and our and authority to social media platforms to content that that is allowed so when to hurt us later we don't know who they're going to not like it's all subjective no
2:13 am
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 shut it down or 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. how many pyramids apart meanwhile as we're debating this there's some kids where would 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
2:14 am

for future. day has apparently being. fact checking. has exposed was in claims made by us democrats that is just over a decade that. reports. even back when t.v.s. looked like that kid's cartoons would portray those saving us from pollution as superheroes i am captain planet. commentator. today you can be a successful democrat and presidential hopeful without being a bit of captain planet democrats be like how do i sound and make republicans look bad at the same time. thank god there is climate change the scientists are 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
2:25 am
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 a 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 . that we have twelve years to turn this around but suddenly there's
2:26 am
that hoops moment the associated press checks what those who want to run for the white house after say for a fact 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 that's right on climate and the a.p. fact check is wrong it's the a.p. this is incorrect about climate change not. oh sure how can a democrat candidate get something wrong especially when his party essentially chose to rely on the so-called green new deal ahead of the election it's
2:27 am
