little. man they know is bad wolf. facebook calls for global internet room designs for government to play a more active role in regulating its. media to follow them is a lengthy leave the polls in the first round of ukraine's presidential elections so far has taken thirty percent off the lows also this hour. at. least in the u.s. released body come video of the fatal shooting of a black american rapper who was fired on twenty five times while that is.

a very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me nicky air and our top story this hour governments are urged to play a more active role in policing the internet as space book 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 elections he's also pushing for improved frameworks to for sex private data allowing people to switch services more securely become and stand in stark contrast to the vision mark zuckerberg used to have for facebook. i'm jewish and there's just sort of people who deny the holocaust right i find that deeply offensive but if the end of the day i don't believe that our platform should take that down because i think that there are things the 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 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 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 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 grew dark gathering and selling people's personal information bought 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 now 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.

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 ease 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 a while artie's math week media all for math 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. 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 investigative journalist save lindelof believes long though 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. with most of the votes counted comedian follows him as the landscape is leading the polls in the first round of ukraine's presidential election so five

won thirty percent of the vote and is likely to be up against the incumbent president petro poroshenko later this month and 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 and 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. a doozy what you. see in my stomach is 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 not well first of all we still have to be fair there is going to be the runoff so he must still climb 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 important call failed to achieve any of that yes there were some other minor cheap mints to be fair for example ukrainians can now go to the european union without visas manage to get 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 greenback crimea we were three men and women who found themselves in the illegal turn of the tree we will bring ukrainian marines to. 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 buying it so loosely people want to win the change this wish of the younger people veteran. pm beulah to michelle she was the 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 she was definitely expected 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 image and 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. with or anything california have released body count video of the police shooting of american rapper willie mccoy and apparently shows that the musician was asleep at the time and next video contains disturbing images and sounds. the don't want your. story. to.

be answered and took place in february police were initially called to to check on mccoy as well being fixed officers saw 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 the big picture now police in the united states killed more than a thousand people in twenty eight most of the officers involved did not go on to face criminal charges african-americans and latinos are statistically more likely to be shot by the police than any other group michelle gross from communities against police brutality stays the offices in the willie mccoy case should be charged with murder. commission says the ruling policy and its allies won iowa fifty one percent of the vote nationwide the preliminary preliminary results were announced the turkish

president was quick to declare victory or go. as a result shows that in these elections as has been the case since the november two thousand and two election. as the. once again come first. let's go live now to political analyst yousif rooms discuss this welcome to the program great to have you with us now the old i'm still preliminary how unexpected would these results for president to do one's policy do you think. i don't think they were unexpected everyone knew that. there were going to be a very tight race when you look at the polls the candidates in both of these major turkish cities were neck and neck until the last day so everyone knew it was going to be a hotly contested race it's very important that there was eighty four percent voter turnout the turkish public believes that their vote counts and we can see that

their vote count so it was a very hotly contested race democracy won and right now we have to also realize that these are still unofficial results so what we're going to analyze right now is unofficial results until the turkish high electorial commission verifies them. the c.h.p. candidate has about a twenty five thousand vote lead but we need to realize that there's three hundred thousand votes that were ruled invalid last night that the party does plan to contest so we're going to see if these votes are going to be contested in kind of change the result who knows that remains to be seen absolutely well what it's looking like now is that the party is found to galvanize lotus in these two major cities if the. if that's the case them to what extent do you think take his economic situation is to blame. i wouldn't say they failed to galvanize voters you have to realize that the party's been in power for seventeen years now

it's a party that had up to fifty two percent of the vote at one time and we see at this election that there are votes around forty five percent when you look at the political conjecture of the country over the last two or three years you see a coup attempt in two thousand and sixteen the turkish lira has dipped over thirty percent recently in the last year the economy has slowed down after a period of high growth so there's an overheating of the economy when you take all these into account forty five percent being the top parties still a very good result now shifting over to what is this is going to mean for the economy we saw president add on take the stage last night around two am after most of the election results were announced and we saw him talk about reform especially economic reform he got the message from the voters and he seems to properly understand what the voters wanted even though this is a local lection there was

a lot of federal policies that were weighing on the mind of the voters as they went to the ballot economy being one security being another these were two very important topics that voters were thinking about giving this will collection a very general election feel and now that we've seen a period where turkey has undergone fifteen elections whether they be general local or referendums over the last seventeen years now we have a four and a half year period before the next election so this is going to allow the government and political parties to sit down and concentrate on the very pressing concerns of the government faces whether it be the economy whether it be security the war in syria the three point five million refugees inside turkey. there's a lot of concerns right now the s four hundred deal that's going to be a point of contention between turkey in the united states going forward as well so there's a lot of foreign policy decisions to be made and this election free period is going

to allow the government to focus on this rather than domestic political support and i think this is going to be healthy for the country president abdurrahman he once said that whoever wins this stumble wins talk. show he and his posse are more popular that by the time the twenty twenty three general election rolls around i think. it's them because obviously very important it's the cultural and economic social capital of turkey. c.h.b. had a very good strategy going in they changed it up a little they're normally recognized as a left party and they took a step to the right during the selection and we've seen them go out and embrace the conservative electorial that they actually ran a very. hard yes campaign when we look at their candidate in he's. generally a candidate that you would see as a right wing or center the center right wing candidate also many of their

candidates in the districts are former party candidates as well so we could see them taking a page out of the party playbook and trying to embrace the conservative voter base now party seventeen years in power it's allowed for a little completes and see in the party and present was very unhappy with his party's proportions in certain aspects of the elections and he's going to expect them to work much much harder. time in twenty twenty three twenty twenty three zambia a very important election not just the general election also the celebration of one hundred years of the creation of the turkish republic so it's a milestone in turkish history and it's going to be very important going forward but it looks like president is going to make changes not just economically in. forms not just security wise but also inside the party to add some refreshment and revitalize the party as well going forward ok and i know you said iran political analyst thank you for your time and sharing your thoughts with us. all foreign even

the canadian province of quebec are seeking to ban the government employees from wearing religious symbols such as the islamic headscarf and the jewish camp 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 the good of my using discrimination of our citizens based on religion they propose banning key banc which in recent decades has been promoting secularism would cover public workers in positions of authority that would include judges prosecutors police officers and school teachers 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 running a lot of manifestation resending petitions we're talking to the titians 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 they can work as they want to live if they want to know this they can see well no this state has to be secular you can wear a headscarf wherever you want but if you represent a state like the police officer or a judge 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 to believe that maybe you have some prejudice because of religion and religion this has to be something that belongs to the personal fear is not part of the state thanks for taking us

international way back at the top of the hour with the late. one else should seem wrong. why don't we all just don't call. me old yet to shape out these days you can't get educated and in detroit equals betrayal. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the biggest political hoax in american history russia is almost a thing of the past on the other hand only seems to drop into deeper levels of purgatory and what is next to russia's relations with the.
