facebook calls for global internet rules on for governments to play a more active role in regulating it. comedian following them as alinsky leads the polls in the first round of ukraine's presidential elections but so far he's taken thirty percent of the votes also this hour. at least in the u.s. release body com video of the face so shooting of a black american it was fun twenty five times what he sat in his calm.

very warm welcome you're watching on the international with me nicky aaron the top story this hour governments are 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 measures and that in introduce that will protect the integrity of elections is also pushing for improved frameworks to protect private data allowing people to switch services more securely the common found installed contrast to the vision mogs a book used to have for facebook. i'm jewish and there's a set of people who deny the holocaust is 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 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 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 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 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 think media off for batiks pages including the now were taken down for no reason other than pressure from pro-war think tank and i'll leave the report from fianna 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 dave

lindorff believes mark zuckerberg 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. where 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 los and there's 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 didn't know any. and you can use this law he had to. give it to you but it's good use that you say would you. please. which is. a doozy what you'll. see in my eyes. we don't know whether he'd planned it or

not but a few years ago damer zelinsky 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 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 important call failed to achieve any of that yes there were some other minor t.v.

meant to be fair for example ukrainians can now go to the european union without visas he 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 were three 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 buying it so loosely people want to win the change this wish of the younger people veteran. vacs pm. 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 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. in other news now authorities in california have released 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. your.

story. the incident took place in february police were initially called to check on mccoy's wellbeing six 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 for the big picture now police in the united states killed more their thousand people in twenty eighteen 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 groups michelle gross from communities against police brutality say see officers in the way mcquay 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 could have your hands put up your hands the man was dead and the fact that they chose to wake you up with bullets a new course 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 law it didn't have a clip of it but the bottom line is that you know they should have attempted to wake you first in the united states you are an extremely small fraction of that and i believe these police officers should be charge of murder because. they seem to the united states can't wait to the u.k. to leave the european union the us national security adviser john bolton promised is that britain will be top of the queue for trade when the devil still 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 show britain will be treated like any other trading partner meaning it has to provide access for us agricultural products they should also raise barriers and allow access in full for american medicine's well there's growing a law in britain at the possibility of a post breaks that deal with the us people fear it will open the door to chlorine loss chicken and hormone pumped beef and raise the costs of medicine in the national health service well 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 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 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 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's trying to calm 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 a disorderly brags that 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 fast 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 the 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 out in a lot of trade deals with our 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. so they can buy as well if our claims leader has received a less than friendly reception a trip to a working class suburb in caracas we've got that story and more into us ninety seconds.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to be close it's like them before three of them or ten people. i'm interested always in the water. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next about different clubs on one hand it is logical to sort of go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to suppressing. what you think.

i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to do. by the way what is it that's like here. welcome back and international china fertility clinics has been slammed 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 and you get down the slippery slope of just genetically altered designer babies includes designer be beat. with the gene editing procedure clinics that can alter a child's d.n.a. that allows them to change physical features such as i color and even kill such an illness is a ban on editing human embryos as established in twenty nine countries around the

globe the u.s. to has a restrictive rules on research and gender selection is not prohibited scientists brian hanley explains concerns surrounding genetic engineering. the risks serves are so hard right now 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 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 by we're 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 mani who lost 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 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

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 in 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 trouble. in a specific way in the science community and parrot head and in the family system as a whole. fear has the most online purportedly showing a group of protesters attacking a convoy carrying venezuela south proclaims later one guy the opposition figurehead was reportedly on his way to speak at a rally in a deprived part of caracas i was. i was well according to local media reports military police officers who were loyal to president madeira who can be seen in the video protecting one quite as convoy they held insults at the country's softer clad leader and demanded he leave allow the most populous district in caracas journalist max blumenthal pointed out the irony of quite obeying protected by the fall of varian national guard i

was. i was. authorities in a canadian province of key back are seeking to ban government employees from wearing religious symbols such as the islamic headscarf on the jewish kippa it's important for us that. all people in authority positions don't wear religious i don't think a lot of people feel that in a free society we should be utilizing discrimination of our citizens based on religion they proposed ban in kickback which in recent decades has been promoting secularism would have a public workers in positions of all foresee that would include judges prosecutors police officers and schoolteachers as 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 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 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 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. hey with those on all of our stories so do get in touch by following us on social media and having only a comments that are back in thirty minutes with the latest headlines saying that. a a a. a. a was. a was. a was. i.

join me every day on the all excitement and i'll be speaking to give us the world of politics. i'm sure i'll see you then. same wrong. just don't call. me. to shape out just because that's ok and in games from. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. they're bred for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young.

they months of intensive school. reps. and they save lives. alone and welcome to cross talk we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle the biggest political hoax in american history russia gate is almost a thing of the past brags that on the other hand only seems to drop into deeper levels of purgatory and what is next for russia's relations with the west.

across talking some real news i'm joined by my guest here in moscow grandees and he is a professor at the higher school of economics as well as author of russia's geo economic strategy for a greater eurasia and in brussels we cross and i'm a show and she is a former m i five intelligence officer or across the uk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate any let me go to you first here i was look i don't usually read the washington post but someone sent me an article so i felt obliged to read it title as material confronts a crisis russia's footprint in venezuela grows and then there's a very bizarre paragraph and this is how i want to start this segment here in an era of generally warming ties between the trump administration of moscow russia is deepening its involvement in venezuela so when so and so and so. you know i didn't know relations were on the up and up and really what i want to talk about is that is anything going to change in the post. or world after this report that was

released on what i have called all along is a hoax here is there any future a positive future for russia's relations with the united states and with the western world of course including the european union as we move forward go ahead any. well i think post military is a chance and certainly many former intelligence officers diplomats military people around the world hope when trump was the president elect over two years ago was the fact that he won his recalibrate relations with russia and also try and work with them to sort out the mess in the middle east so whatever people in america might think of their american president to the rest of the world the chance of peace breaking out looked at its highest for a long time then of course we had this deep state hoax as you call it and i would entirely agree trying to show that there was russian collusion even the four president trump was actually inaugurated and this was multiplied time and time and time again by the american legacy press all based on unsourced intelligence on

quotes from unknown people and it was metastasized into the known new facts about russian collusion so i took a lot of hope from the fact that moonless report apparently shows there was no russian collusion what gives me a slight distress though at this point is that it appears over the last two years because of the pressure of this investigation president trump has to a certain extent have been corralled into any possible maneuvers he might have with russia in the future so i think there's a very delicate path for him to tread if he wants to try and free himself from the the hands of the deep state and of course one of the thing we need to remember is that even though the democratic party and the reports that came from that were funded by them by the former my six intelligence officer christopher steele now been debunked suddenly the democratic party is now trying to focus on trump's finances they will not give up so he's still going to be under pressure and there's still going to be reasons why the deep state will keep him in there.
