get up to do just admit day here in moscow the first of april my name is kevin irwin watching out international first that the internet needs more regulation and government should play an active role in policing it says crucially facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg further he says he wants international systems in place to keep harmful content to a minimum plus laws on protecting elections should be updated he says a new industry standard set is also pushing for a framework to better cover privacy and data protection and allow people to safely move data from one service to another a senior correspondent takes a closer look at the story. who would have thought that it could come to this face book begging governments to tame the wild wild web the police censor and control it to think it all began innocently people want to go on the internet check out their friend someone at the website that offers that i'm talking about taking the entire social experience of college and putting it
5:02 am
online it was so simple then a place for teenagers to share their relationship status for friends to share pictures announce parties keep in touch but somewhere along the line facebook group dark gathering and selling people's personal information bots fake news election meddling censorship and suspensions targeting innocent people at times and the videos streams mass murders the new zealand shooting rapes snuff videos it seemed facebook c.e.o. did nothing but apologize now it was a big mistake and i was a mistake and it was my mistake and i'm really sorry that this happened and i'm sorry and i'm sorry for it it seems zuckerberg is tired of keeping facebook his own platform clean he now wants governments to do it ministries to police
5:03 am
the net with rules and regulations. the saying goes the route to hell is paved with good intentions though something tells me. less interested in good intentions and more concerned about bad press and profit but hey who knows he talks so pretty. by updating the rules for the internet we can preserve what's best about it the freedom for people to express themselves remarkable he's actually saying that government censorship will somehow make the internet freer when has that ever happened before in fact one of the scandals facebook was embroiled in was its
5:04 am
wholesale cleansing of pages and news feeds it didn't like in full was alex jones even for a while artie's math ik media all for math expedient including the now were taken down for no reason other than pressure from pro-war think tanks and i'll leave the report from vienna the messages are slick filled with graphics with grand. young left leaning americans getting news from social media and the videos have been viewed tens of millions of times billions of times thank you apparently it's all for you your freedom your safety so here it is a corporate billionaire with dirty hands asking politicians to censor and regulate the web you don't get five hundred million friends without making a few enemies he once said but it seems circa berg is heading towards having just
5:05 am
a few friends and millions of enemies. your tolerance a small questions on why no verse to get a journalist over lindorff believes mark zuckerberg is simply looking after his own interests. wolves are getting closer regulation of his company there's a lot of anger and it's a growing call to break up facebook to regulate facebook and i think what's everybody's doing is recognizing that something is going to happen and rather than face it alone he wants to. call for regulation of all his competitors to because if he's the only one who's regulated he gets broken up the company gets smaller has less power. and to get hurt in the competition with larger entities like google he's trying to shape it but i don't think his argument holds a lot of water that is that he's been making all along that somehow facebook is

just a free speech issue. focused on ukraine big vote there with more than half of those votes counted comedian fellow demands and then skis leading the polls in the first round of the presidential election so far he's won thirty percent of the vote and will be up against incumbent presidents petro poroshenko later this month and in the second round. this is ukraine where anything can happen during the elections disses
5:07 am
a country that went through two revolutions in the course of just ten years and the nation right now it is fair to say is sick and tired of the familiar faces from the old political elite and liberals and then ski the comedian who has already dug himself ziska president well indeed has never taken part in any kind of election but has long been a politician already and the sense that a great deal of his humor was always about the active political elite for years and the years he was destroying his future political opponents and if you look back at the shows you can even make a video ballot out of them. and we did you know. and you can use this law that he had to. give if you could use that you.
5:08 am
know i. like. this which is. a doozy what you'll. see in my stomach is another very important ingredient we don't know whether he'd planned it or not but a few years ago the dimmers a minsky began starring in his own sitcom where he played the part of an ordinary teacher of history at school who all of a sudden became the president of the country what went wrong for petro poroshenko the it was this expected oh well first of all we still have to be fair there is going to be the runoff so he must still call out on top but experts are saying that his chances are decreasing especially after the results that we're getting right now as the votes are being counted but it is very important to
5:09 am
remember how petro poroshenko got into power that happened as a result of the revolution five years ago when people were desperate for any new including the nation one to a country without poverty without corruption probably a country that's part of nato or the european union and the most vital thing a country without a civil war and portugal failed to achieve any of that yes there were some other minor t.v. meant to be fair for example craniums can now go to the european union without visas managed to give independence to bond with this anti russian rhetoric promises to bring crimea back let's take a listen to some of that. we were bringing back crimea we will bring those men and women who found themselves in the illegal tertiary we will bring ukrainian marines to we do not get them for one second. but it really seems
5:10 am
given the results that we're getting the numbers that we're getting that people weren't really buying it he still has three weeks though to change the course of that so loosely people want to win to change this which is the younger people veteran. she was there voting she was in the top three of this what forty people develop my own bitterly disappointed vote for her well first of all for a long time she was the symbol of ukrainian opposition if you remember she even spent a few years in jail under president called ridge so she was definitely expected to challenge proportion call for years while he was incumbent president and then three months ago selenski came out and said i'm running and i guess most of the votes work taken from yulia tymoshenko but she still wants to be in that second round because with mr poroshenko as approval ratings just
5:11 am
a few months ago being as low as nine percent experts and you did so much like herself were saying that the only way he could make it into the runoff was by reading the vote she's confident that the vote was being rigged and let's just see what happens again we can predict out all what's going to happen in that case this is ukraine as i've said where politics can really turn wild. and international chain of fertility clinics has been slammed for helping hundreds of australian couples choose the gender of the children the procedures banded astray or itself it was carried out in the united states instead outrage over the latest move toward designer babies the world's first genetically engineered baby and you get down the slippery slope of does genetically altered designer babies includes designer babies change physical features such as i color maybe even diseases. added seeing human embryos established in twenty nine countries around
5:12 am
the globe such as it's controversy same in the u.s. to the restrictive rules on research but crucially gender selection is not prohibited scientists brian huntley explains concerns surrounding genetic engineering. the risks are so high right now know that you know that's that's why the wired genetic engineering has been banned for humans because in animals you get you get situations where you get say thirty am rio's that are considered good enough to implant in and out of those you get two or three that can survive for a few weeks and one that is considered viable were just on the on the air edge of old enough. for human use the whole thing polarizes debate as well human rights lawyer jennifer braden and money had last or
5:13 am
a politician and activist exchanged their views on the issue. we're not talking about getting a vehicle or buying a car and be able to design your car we're talking about a human life a child a baby and what this opens up to the danger that this opens it up to where society now things that they can basically just pick and choose i mean it even said that the science was going towards a way not just of eye color and of gender but also of skin color of race and so while we could be afraid that there might be another area in society out there actually i have a lot of mixed feelings about this issue because you know on one hand a lot of this genetic testing has been used for women who can't have children i guess they do the genetic modification. and then in that case she's able to have a baby the other hand is what does open it up to and hand spins for you have this concept of designer babies not only does that create a dangerous precedent for motherhood as an example or for parenthood as an example
5:14 am
but it's now glorified glorifying and placing his glorification so to speak on and on the baby's appearance at birth what more is that going to create say a parent paid for something in the eye color wasn't quite what the parents wanted and now the child going to be forever shamed or living in shame that on the converse that the parent gets everything they paid for and the qualities of a child how is that child going to raise knowing that to treat others with respect and dignity based on their character and their personality because they're going to have been raised knowing you know we paid for you and we got you exactly the way we wanted you i don't want this issue of designer babies to come to fruition because i feel that would. it would essentially be what professor stephen hawkins argued that we're creating this super race which would add more inequality into the world but at the same time if this is a medically necessary procedure for a mom to have her child what's wrong with that i just think the president this
5:15 am
creates is very troubling specifically in the science community and in parenthood and in the family system as a whole. well the story's kind of hard to break you think you'd want to know about damning video evidence in the u.s. police shooting of a black rapper and a canadian province government employees wearing religious symbols. seem wrong well just don't call. me. yet to shape out. educate and indeed. trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
5:16 am
after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next. different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to suppressing. i'm going to talk about football not be or else you can think i was going to do. by the way ways of the flying here. this is arctic circle some two minutes past midday moscow time next authorities in california released body cam video of the police shooting of american rapper willie
5:17 am
mccool and apparently shows that musician was asleep at the time the next video contains disturbing images and sounds. the incident took place in february police were initially called to check a mccoy's wellbeing six officer shot him twenty five times claiming he leaned for his gun when he woke up in his car the video evidence suggests police did not try to wake him up something that his family also claimed the big picture here police in the united states killed more than a thousand people in twenty eighty most of the officers involved did not go on to face criminal charges african-americans and latinos us to to sickly more likely to
5:18 am
be shot by the police than other groups michel gross from the communities against police brutality told us the offices in the mccoy case should be charged with murder. it is in no way a best practice of police they should not have shot him and you know it was ridiculous they shot him twenty five times and then they roughly twenty five times nobody knows for sure and then they started screaming clip your hands out of your hands now a man was dead and the fact that they chose to wake him up with bullets and of course kill him is completely wrong there can be no other explanation that you know i understand but they were maybe a little spooked by the fact that he had it on loaded gun in his law he didn't have a clip of that but the bottom line is that you know they should have attempted to wake you first in the united states you know an extremely far small fraction and i
5:19 am
believe these police officers should be in charge of murder as. seems the u.s. can't wait for the u.k. to exit the european union national security advisor john bolton promises that britain will be tough with a q. and it comes to trade deals when the divorce is done people who worry about the u.k. crashing out of the european union that's the phrase they use they're going to crash right into the united states we're standing here waiting to make a trade deal britain will be at the top of the queue for us but was he going to mean for the u.k. tough u.s. negotiating objectives show that britain is going to be treated like any other trading partner what is it may well it means it's going to provide access for us a great cultural products and also should mean that britain has to remove barriers and allow access in full for american medicine's or good than or is it there's growing alarm in britain of the possibility of protests post breaks it deals with the us for these reasons for instance people fear it could open the door to chlorine wash chicken and hormone pumped beef also it could raise the cost of
5:20 am
medicine of the national health service we ask people under what they thought of the offer. i think a trade deal with america sounds awful there's no point in australia immediately leaving the e.u. and jumping straight into bed with the us that's never we were never going to be a negotiator for point a straight and we call it when the brics see it from a point of strength we should be striking deals wherever we can if we're going to be postscripts that the us would definitely get more from not deal with than we do i don't we don't curry chicken i don't want to hormones that might be you know they've got no welfare standards for their food system for their medicines so they're everything one of the reasons why i wouldn't go and live in america is because while the food is treat it would probably try to kill me a spokesperson for the prime minister to try to calm fears saying the u.k. is not going to lower its food standards someone else is worried here former london mayor ken livingstone he believes britain's weak position could lead to very serious consequences our economies are the slowest lever of growth in years
5:21 am
investment in our economy sh the lowest level since the end of the second world war all the uncertainty about it means big businesses aren't investing in great now modernizing. our economy and we are just could be in a very weak position i effectively negotiation with america will be by will be. slapping around like a little puppy dog just doing what we're told we will end up importing more american goods because we will be outside the you will be subject to the world trade organization rules which will mean a. quite bad increase in the prices of many of our food because the tariffs come. and that what you will we will be worse off there's no doubt. authorities in the canadian province of quebec are preparing to ban government employees from where religious symbols such as the islamic headscarf the job or the jewish kipper. it's
5:22 am
important for us that. all people in those thirty positions don't wear religious and i don't think a lot of people feel that in a free society we should be legitimizing discrimination of our citizens based on religion while this proposed ban in quebec covers public workers in positions of authority including school teaches we heard from a citizen journalist and a muslim woman who plans to become a teacher in canada but no she's having second thoughts. we're already having a lot of manifestation we're standing petitions we're talking to a politician's lawyers so that this can even come into law a lot of movements are going on right now so that disk can become a lot because it's it's going to set a very bad precedent however if this does become a lot then a lot of religious minorities will leave the province and we'll have to find more
5:23 am
safe and inclusive place where we can work as they want to live as they want to know this they can see well you know the state has to be secular you can wear headscarves wherever you want but if you represent a state like the police officer or jarvis or a teacher in a public school because people teach in private schools. but if you teach in a public school you represent a state you have to wear and you really have to sign you don't want the person who you are interacting with. that you have some prejudice because religion religion is supposed to be something that belongs to the personal fear is not part of the state. test as have clashed with police again in the venezuelan capital caracas demonstrators took to the streets against the constant blackouts and water shortages that have hit the south american country. in the city. filled barricades
5:24 am
again on main roads the opposition blames president for his inability to control the situation while the government says the power cuts that resulted. by their opponents the president's now announced a thirty day plan to russian electricity and all of the trying to deal with the crisis as venezuela reels in the political troubles that ongoing the u.s. mainstream media is telling its focus meantime to russia's presence there. bloody meter putin has made a career of intervening abroad and seeing if the world lets him get away with it eastern ukraine and syria and barack obama's presidency now he's doing the same on donald trump's watch this time in america's backyard in venezuela. these accusations came after russian military planes touched down in venezuela with around one hundred troops late last month according to moscow their presence in the country is allowed under a near two decades old agreement president trump and other u.s. officials weren't satisfied with that though and they say russia should leave venezuela or face the consequences. serious loss than the people who's using the
5:25 am
russians to support his desperate attempt to keep them in his own people from hearing into him president maduro calls for hands off on his way out while he invites security forces from cuba and russia so he and his cronies can keep plundering venezuela it is time for venezuelan institutions to stanford or sovereignty russia and cuba hands off and as well russia is that you now. see we'll see we'll see all options are out. just so you understand all options are off dan mcadams executive director ron paul institute told us he thinks the u.s. doesn't have the right to point the finger at russia well there's a reason why they call the wall street journal the war street journal because it is a rabbit the pro war the united states has some eight hundred military bases sort of orders i think the russians may have. the us has a global military empire and unfortunately it's what keeps washington running it's what keeps the people inside the beltway very wealthy at the expense of the rest of
5:26 am
the country so that is the issue of the united states of course just hypocrite as usual in the other issues the issue of sovereignty why can't a sovereign venezuela. ask for assistance from an ally the u.s. certainly has asked for assistance from its allies as a sovereign country and has come to be assistance of some of its allies sovereign countries why is sovereignty only a one way street when it comes to washington. and kevin i mean that's it for me so far here in moscow it's commit tony seven minutes past me day this april the first video first the day of a good. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want.
5:27 am
to go right to be close that's like the full story in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. sitting. in a 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. and shouting past each other it's taught for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. the biggest political hoax in american history russia gate is almost

a thing of the past on the other hand only seems to drop into deeper levels of purgatory and what is next for russia's relations with the west's. welcome to says. a deadly terror attack staged by a white supremacist in new zealand has sent shock waves across the world is it possible to contain radicalization no matter what ideology it is driven by i ask a former member and had of active change foundation that deals with extremist views
5:29 am
. while western governments have that ice fixed on islamist terrorism. and right wing white supremacist extremists in their heads while a vicious cycle of hate crime continues but if a person can be radicalized with. the process be reversed by talking can prevention of terrorism by outreach and engage might be more successful than just cleaning up the mess of another terror attack you can't stream east ideas ever be overcome by reasonable debate. and welcome to the show it's great to have you with us so a ricin was an attack on a mosque by an extreme right winger when new zealand kill fifty people or so were just today so busy spotting potential jihadists that they actually have turned a blind eye to far right extremism i think the problem has been developing for many many years and i wrote about this in my book. look we got
5:30 am
a problem of. extremism religious perspective and particular from within the muslim communities. because we haven't been addressed effectively. it's no doubt. the narrative come out from within societies is going to give rise to white supremacy and fire right extremists know what we've been talking about for .
