we. need. to see. their. facebook old school global internet rules on for governments to play a more active role in regulating it is. the media follow them as a lengthy lead to the polls in the first round of ukraine's presidential elections that so far he's taken thirty percent of the vote also this. police in the u.s. released body count video of the fatal shooting of a black american it was fired on twenty five times while citing his call. as very warm welcome to you you're watching r t international with me. a top story

this hour government thought being urged to play a more active role in policing the internet as facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg calls for more regulation online he says he wants international systems in place to keep harmful content to a minimum and measures introduced that will protect the integrity of the elections he's also pushing for improved frameworks to protect private data allowing people to switch services more securely the common stand in stark contrast to the vision mark zuckerberg used to have for facebook. i'm jewish and there's a set of people who deny the holocaust right i find that deeply offensive but it's the end of 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 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 innocently people want to go on the internet check out their friend someone at the website that offers that i am 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 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 in now wants governments to do it ministries to police 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 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 whose feeds it didn't like in full was alex jones even for a while artie's math ik media all four of the affix pages including the now were taken down for no reason other than pressure from pro-war think tanks and i'll

leave you with more from 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 heading towards having just a few friends and millions of enemies well investigative journalist dave lindorff. is looking out for 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. but most of the votes counted comedian followed him as a lengthy is leading the polls in the first round of ukraine's presidential election so i thought he's won thirty percent of the votes on this is likely to be up against the 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 old political elite and the liberals and then 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 in the sense that a great deal of his humor was always about the active political elite. and we didn't know. and you can use this law he had to. give if you could use that using evolution would you. please. which is. a doozy what you. mean minus a we don't know whether he'd planned it or not but a few years ago the dimmers in inskeep 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 well first of all we still have to be fair there is going to be the runoff so he must 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 craniums can now go to the european union without visas managed to give independence to the cranium orthodox 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 will bring those men and women who found themselves in the illegal turn of the tree we will bring ukrainian marines to we do not get 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. she was the 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 she was definitely expected to challenge parts work or shango for years while he was incumbent president and then three months ago selenski came out and said i'm running and again we can't predict at all what's going to happen in that case this is ukraine as i've said

where politics can really turn wild. party thing california have really thought body count video of the police shooting of american rapper willie mccoy it apparently shows that the musician was asleep at the time the next video contains disturbing images and sounds. thank. you. that's what you. were talking. about. it was a. true church thank you. the incidents took place in february and police were initially called to check on mccoy's wellbeing six officers shot him twenty five times claiming he leaned for his gun while he 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 now police in the us a killed more than a thousand people in twenty eighteen most of the officers involved didn't know to go on to face criminal charges african-americans and latinos are statistically more likely to be shot by the police than other groups which are gross from communities against police brutality says the officers in the william a court case it 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 started twenty five times and then they roughly twenty five times nobody knows for sure and then they started screaming one of your hits your up with bullets. 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 a loaded gun in his life it 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 charged with murder as well. and international chain a fertility clinic has been slammed for helping hundreds of australian couples change the gender of the 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 s. and you get down the slippery slope of does genetically altered designer babies includes designer babies with the gene editing procedure clinics can alter a child's d.n.a. that allows them to change physical features such as such as i color and even kill threaten to elicit a ban on editing human embryos is a therapist in twenty nine countries around the globe the us to house restrictive

rules on research births gender selection is not to prohibited find to supply and one explains concern surrounding genetic engineering. the risk services are so high right now that you know that's that's why the white genetic engineering has been banned for humans because in animals you get you get situations where you get say thirty rio's that are considered good enough to implant and out of those you get two or three that can survive for a few weeks and one that is considered viable or just on the on the air edge of being being ready to do that in a way that is reliable enough. for human use human rights lawyer jennifer braden and money how lost that 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 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 shaded 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 i just think the president this creates is very troubling specifically in the science community and in parenthood and in

the family system as a whole still to come this hour the u.s. rubbed his hands together closed brags that trade deal with the u.k. would have some reaction to the break. actually as a financial survival guy. let's learn. let's say i'm not so i guess. i'm

greece tom thanks for the fight. thank you for. the story that's right well if you looked at slavery. welcome back well it seems the united states cohen waits for the u.k. to leave the european union the u.s. national security advisor john bolton promised is that person will be top of the queue for trade when the devil still goes down. 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 show burson will be treated like any other trading partner meaning it has to provide access for u.s. agricultural products it should also remove barriers and allow access in full for american medicines there's growing along in the brute in the growing alarm in britain at the possibility of a post breaks that deal with the us people fear it will open the door to chlorine wash chicken and hormone pumps beef and raise the costs of medicine and the national health service well we asked 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 jochen straight into bed with the us that's never we were never going to be a negotiator for pointed straight and we would call even the brits see 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 we

don't currently either want to hormones or 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 trying to calm fears saying the u.k. is not going to lower its food standards but it's careful the conservative party m.p. matthew golden banks told us he's concerned that a disorderly breaks it 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 in the united states. 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 parties in the canadian province of quebec are seeking to ban government employees from wearing religious symbols such as the islamic headscarf and the jewish care. it's important for us. all people. religious and i don't think a lot of people feel that in a free society we should be judged on my sink discrimination of our citizens based on religion the proposed banning key bank which in recent decades has been

promoting secularism would cover public workers in positions of all that would include judges prosecutors police officers and 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 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 will have to find more safe and inclusive place where we can work as they want to live as they want now the state is seeing well you know the state has to be secular you can wear headscarves wherever you want but if you represent a state like a police officer or a jar or a teacher in

a public school because people teach in private school will be allowed to but if you teach in a public school you 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 religion is supposed to be something that belongs to the personal fear is not part of the state when he went on. on all of our stories so to get in touch by following us on social media and even comments that we're back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines. the end was the end of it

was. the arab. league little league at the and. at least. seemed wrong. just don't hold. to shape out. and in again it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've mattered the u.s.

has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent world market rose thirty percent somewhat four hundred to five hundred three first second first second and fifth when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's 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 show you know bored to miss the one and only boom box. the biggest political hoax in american history russia gate is almost a thing of the past brings it on the other hand only seems to drop into deeper levels of purgatory and what is next to russia's relations with the west's.

desperate for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young can. take months of intensive school. rats. and they save lives. but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to. have to try to cross the saliva before three of them or can't. interest always in the lives of.

a deadly terror attack staged by a white supremacist in new zealand has sent shock waves across the world is it possible also 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 . while western governments have that ice fixed on islamist terrorism. and right wing white supremacist extremists are rearing their heads while a vicious cycle of hate crime continues but if a person can be radicalized with can the process be reversed by talking can

prevention of terrorism by reaching gauge might be more successful than just cleaning up the mess of another terror attack. ever be overcome by reasonable debate. here for we're all qaeda turncoat and had of active change foundation welcome to the show it's great to have you with us so a ricin was an attack on a mosque by the extreme right winger when new zealand kill fifty people or authorities today so they say spotting potential jihadist 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 always got a problem of. extremism religious perspective and particular from within the muslim communities. and because we haven't been addressing that effectively. it's no

doubt that the narrative that doesn't come out from within societies is going to give rise to white supremacy and fire right extremists no but we've been talking about it for many many years i don't think i don't know as a matter of not having the time i think being ignorant to the development of far right extremism which has been happening right under our noses not just in the u.k. but right across europe and across other parts of the world as we witnessed in new zealand. and if we don't if we don't take stock of our approaches to the violent extremism in all its forms then i'm afraid these two monsters be it . based extremism all far right based extremism will consume all societies so the new zealand attack has been staged by a white supremacist you've been working with islamist extremists for a long time but it's never work with this side of radicalism i mean would you

expect the mentality of a white supremacist to be so different from that of a jihadist fighter that there are similarities in the way that they are recruited and there's an ideology behind this and we saw this in new zealand when some people would say oh there's no ideology behind far you know far right extremism or white supremacy of course that is i've not come across you know any any individuals that i've got to work with from a far right extremist background but i've met many people from that kind of an ideology and it's the. narrative is a kind of similar to what would. what would you know affect.
