8:01 am
a very warm welcome to you you're watching our international with me nicky air and our top story this hour the internet's needs more regulation and government should play an active role in policing it says facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg the facebook chief says he wants international systems in place to keep palmful content to a minimum plus laws on protecting elections should be updated and new industry standards said he 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 our senior correspondent lourdes garcia takes a closer look at the story. i'm jewish and there's just sort of people who deny the holocaust right i find that deeply offensive but if the in the day i don't believe that our platform should take that down because i think that there are things that different people get wrong we don't check what people say before they say it and frankly i don't think society should want us to freedom means you don't have to ask
8:02 am
for permission first and that by default you can say what you want this is really about our mission and our philosophy not about just kind of some short term business decision i really very deeply believe that we are best serving the world and best delivering on our mission to connect everyone by continuing to push in in these environments and push for as much expression as possible who would have thought that it could come to this face book begging governments to tame the wild wild web to police censor and control it to think it all began so innocently people want to go on the internet and check out their friend someone at the web site that offers that i'm talking about taking the entire social experience of college and putting it 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
8:03 am
facebook grew dark gathering and selling people's personal information bought new 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. 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 the net with rules and regulations.
8:04 am
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 politicians deciding what you can and cannot do or say will somehow make the internet freer when has that ever happened before in fact one of the scandals facebook was embroiled in was its wholesale cleansing of pages and news feeds it didn't like in full was alex jones even for
8:05 am
a while artie's math ik media all for a half expedient including the now were taken down for no reason other than pressure from pro-war think tank and i'll leave you with more from the messages are slick filled with graphics with grand. 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 is heading towards having just a few friends and millions of enemies investigative journalist dave lindorff
8:06 am
believes mark zuckerberg though 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. with most of the votes counted comedian followed him as
8:07 am
a landscape is leading the polls in the first round of ukraine's presidential election so far he's won thirty percent of the vote and will be up against incumbent president petro poroshenko later this month in the second round. this is ukraine where anything can happen during the elections disses 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
8:08 am
old political elite and the liberals and then the comedian who has already himself . president well indeed has never taken part in any kind of election but has long been a politician already in the sense that a great deal of his humor was always about the active political elite. and we did you know kind of. yes can you just love it if he had to. give it to you but it's good yes but you. know i. do which is the product is a doozy what you'll. see in my soul mate is we don't know whether he'd planned it
8:09 am
or not but a few years ago today was a man ski 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. was this expected or not well first of all we still have to be fair there is going to be the runoff so he might still come out on top but experts are saying that his chances are decreasing but it is very important to remember how petro poroshenko got into power that happened as a result of the revolution 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 civil war and portugal failed to achieve any of that yes there were some other minor team and to be fair for example cranes can now go to the
8:10 am
european union without visas managed to give independence to the crane in order to dr church from moscow but he kept on going on 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 were three of those men and women who found themselves in the illegal turn of the tree we will bring ukrainian marines to we do not forget them for one second. but it really seems given the results that we're getting the numbers that we're getting that people weren't really buying it so loosely people want to win the change this wish of the younger people veteran. pm. she was the voting she was in the top three of this what forty people the ballot my own bitterly disappointed vote for her well first of all for a long time she was the symbol of ukrainian opposition she was definitely expected
8:11 am
to challenge president bush and co 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 were taken from you the machine called 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. well far as he is in california have released body count video of the police shooting of an american rapper willie mccoy it apparently shows that the musician was asleep at the time and next video contains disturbing images and sounds. like your. story.
8:12 am
the incident took place in february but if you were initially called to check on mccoy's that well being six officers 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. well big picture now police in the united states killed more than a thousand people in two thousand and eighteen most of the officers involved did not go on to face criminal charges african-americans and latino's lost a typically more likely to be shot by the police than other groups michel growth from communities against police personalities things the officers in the william equate 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
8:13 am
ridiculous they shot him twenty five times and then they roughly twenty five times nobody knows for sure and then they started screaming all of your hands put up your hands the man was dead and the fact that they chose to wake you up with bullets. is completely wrong there can be no other explanation that he had a loaded gun in his lap he didn't have a clip of it but are the bottom line is that you know they should have attempted to wake you first in the united states you know an extremely small fraction and i believe these police officers should be charge of murder. and international chain of fertility clinics has been flounder for helping hundreds of australian couples choose the gender of their children the procedure is banned in australia itself and was carried out in the united states. outrage over the latest move toward designer babies the world's first genetically engineered baby else you get down the slippery
8:14 am
slope of does genetically altered designer babies includes designer babies. with the gene editing procedure clinics can alter a child's d.n.a. but i loused them to change physical features such as i color and even cures that's an illness it's a ban on editing human embryos the system and it is established in twenty nine countries around the globe the u.s. to house restrictive rules on their search but gender selection is not prohibited scientists bryan how they explained concerns surrounding genetic engineering the risks serves are so hard right now know that you know that's that's why the large american jew nearing has been banned for humans because in animals you get you get situations where you get say thirty going to bring those that are considered good enough to implant and out of those you get two or three
8:15 am
that can survive for a few weeks and one that is considered by we're just on the on the air edge of. being ready to do that in a way that is reliable enough. for human use human rights lawyer jennifer braden and a politician and activist exchanged 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
8:16 am
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 enhance beenz 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 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 did 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 no 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
8:17 am
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 i just think the president this creates is is very troubling is specifically in the science community and in parenthood and in the family system as a whole. still to come this hour the u.s. rep says hands together out of a post breaks into a trade deal with the u.s. u.k. we'll have some live reactions that off the bright. break said countdown tonality. i've been
8:18 am
saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich the six percent world market blows thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and if we rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember one one business you know for the mid one and only boom but.
8:19 am
welcome back well as things the united states can wait for the year case exits the european union national security advisor john bolton promises that person will be top was a kid who for a trade when the divorce deal 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 tough u.s. negotiating objectives so britain will be treated like any other trading partner meaning it has to provide access for u.s. agricultural products they should also remove barriers and allow access in full for american medicines there's growing alarm in britain of the possibility of a post breaks that deal with the us people fear it will open the door to chlorine
8:20 am
most chicken and hormone pumped beef and raise the cost of medicine in the national health service we also people in london 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 good never going to be a negotiate for pointed straight and we would call even negotiate bricks it from a point of strength we should be striking deals wherever we can and if we're going to be prosperous that the us would definitely get more from not do it than we do i don't we don't currently i don't want to hormones that might be you know they've got lower welfare standards for their food system for their medicines so that 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 try to come fears saying the u.k. is not going to lower its food standards but former conservative party m.p. matthew golden banks told us he's concerned that
8:21 am
a disorderly briggs's could result in food and medicine shortages. we're a very tiny country that small of the many us states. i'm surprised that there's such a fuss in the united states at the moment i'm not even sure whether we're going to be leaving the e.u. at the present moment in time our politicians in u.k. are making a real mess of the brics process assuming we were to leave this summer we're going to be really struggling to fix up and sign a lot of trade deals with other countries and i personally am very worried that we may end up having food shortages shortages of prescribed medication and drugs and all sorts of other things. or thirty's in the canadian province of quebec are preparing to ban government

employees from wearing religious symbols such as the islamic headscarf or the hit out and the jewish. it's important for us that. all people live in a position where religious i don't think a lot of people feel that in a free society we should be good i'm icing discrimination of our citizens based on religion the proposed ban in quebec covers public workers in positions of authority including schoolteachers we heard from a citizen journalist and a muslim woman whose plans to become a teacher in canada are now under threat. we're already having a lot of manifestation resending petitions we're talking to politicians 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
8:23 am
a lot of religious minorities will leave the province and will have to find more safe and inclusive place where they can work as they want to live as they want to know the state and seeing well you know the state has to be secular you can wear headscarves wherever you want but if you represent the state like a police officer or a jar or a teacher in a public school because people teach in private schools. but if you teach in a public school we represent the state you have to wear and you really have to sign you don't want the person who you are interacting with. that maybe you have some prejudice because religion and religion is supposed to be something that belongs to the personal fear is not part of the state. well i would honestly love to hear your thoughts on all of all stories so do get in touch by following us on social media i'm leaving all your comments that we're back in thirty minutes with the latest
