for mounting in moscow sunday april the first he had eight pm on call in bradley the world's news this hour first for you governments are being urged to play a more active role in policing the internet as facebook boss mark zuckerberg calls for more regulation online he says he wants mechanisms put in place to reduce the amount of harmful content on social media platforms he's also calling for measures that will help to ensure the integrity of elections and protect users personal data with books demand mark a radical departure from the original vision that he had 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 the worst thing was 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 the. you can say what you want this is really about our mission and our
1:02 pm
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 facebook 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 and 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 bought

1:04 pm
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 info wars 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 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 heading towards having just a few friends and millions of enemies. on investigative journalist dave lindorff believes mark zuckerberg is looking out for his own interests. wolves are getting
1:06 pm
closer regular lation 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 too because if he's the only one who's regulated it 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. i have most of the votes counted comedian voting as a lansky is leading the polls in the first round of ukraine's presidential election so fobbed he's won thirty percent of the vote on his liking 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 comedian who has already dug himself ziska
1:08 pm
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. and you can use this law he had to. give it to you but it's good yes but you still have to do. that. which is. a doozy of what you. see minus a 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
1:09 pm
a sudden became the president of the country what went wrong for petro poroshenko that. 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 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 again the most vital thing a country without civil war and portion called 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 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 crimea and we will agree 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 buying it so loosely people want to win to change this wish the younger people. 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 parts rocor shango 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
1:11 pm
votes were taken from yulia timoshenko again we can't predict out all what's going to happen in that case this is ukraine as i've said where politics can really turn wild. youth or it is in california have released a stabbing body cam video of the police shooting of american rapper when he mccoy and apparently shows that the musician was asleep at the time the next video does contain upsetting images and sound. of the word your. story. than originally. the incident took place
1:12 pm
in february police were initially called to check home mccoy's wellbeing six officers shot him twenty five times claiming that he leaned in for its 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 claims. the big picture police in the united states killed more than a thousand people in twenty eight most of the officers involved did not want 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 says the officers in the william a court 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 started twenty five times and then they roughly twenty five times nobody knows for sure and then they started screaming all of your hands out of your hands the 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 than rates
1:13 pm
you know i understand that they were maybe a little spooked by the fact that he had a 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 are an extremely far small fraction and i believe these police officers should be charged with murder as well. but it seems the united states can't wait for the u.k. to leave the european union the national security adviser john bolton promises that britain will be top of the queue for trade when the divorce deal gets 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 so now the tough u.s. negotiating objectives show that britain will be treated just like any other
1:14 pm
trading partner meaning that it has to provide access for u.s. agricultural products and it should also remove barriers to allow access in full for american medicines to but there's growing alarm in britain over the possibility of a post breakfast deal with the united states critics fear that it will open the door to things like chlorine washed chicken hormone pumped beef and also raise the cost of medicine say in the national health service as well we've been asking people in london what they think of the united states offer i think a trade deal with america sounds an awful there's no point in. leaving the e.u. and jumping straight into bed with the u.s. that's never we were never going to be negotiate for point a straight when we call even negotiate breaks it from a point of strength we should be striking deals wherever we can and if we're going to be opposed to the u.s. would definitely get more from not do it than we do i don't we don't. i don't want to hormones that might be you know they've got lower welfare standards for their
1:15 pm
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 tried to calm fears saying that the u.k. is not going to lower its food standards but former conservative party m.p. matthew gordon banks told us that 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 the u.k. are making a real mess of the. process assuming we were to leave this. we're going to be really struggling to fix our sign a lot of trade deals with other countries in the united states. and i
1:16 pm
personally am very worried that we may end up having food shortages shortages of prescribed medication and drugs and all sorts of other things after the break venezuela self-proclaimed leader has received less than friendly reception on a trip to a working class suburb in caracas it's among our stories still ahead.

party has lost control of ankara and istanbul thousands of opposition party supporters are a bit out celebrating in both cities however the party is reportedly planning on challenging the results in the country's two main population centers alleging that there's been widespread voting irregularities despite the setback in ankara and istanbul the ruling party and its ally still came out on top nationwide taking more than fifty one percent of the votes the turkish president welcomed the victory. you as a result show that in these elections as has been the case in the november two thousand and two elections as we as the a.k.o. . once you can come. to a little political analyst you told us that he believes the party has done relatively well given economic woes. c.h.b. had a very good strategy going in they changed it up a little they're normally recognized as a left party a bit took a step to the right during the selections we've seen them go out race the
1:19 pm
conservative electorial 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 party still a very good result everyone knew that. there were going to be a very tight race but we need to realise 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

of australian couples choose the genda their children the procedures 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 slope of does genetically altered designer babies includes designer babies. with the gene editing procedure clinics can also a child's d.n.a. that allows them to change physical features such as on color and even kill certain illnesses abound on the editing human embryos is established in twenty nine countries around the world the u.s. to has for strict rules on research but gender selection is not prohibited scientists brian handley explains concerns surrounding genetic genetic engineering . the risks are so high right now no. you know that's that's why the genetic engineering has been banned for humans
1:22 pm
because in animals you can you get situations where you get say thirty going to 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 we're just on the on the air. being being ready to do that in a way that is reliable enough. for human use a human rights lawyer jennifer braden. who's 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
1:23 pm
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 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
1:24 pm
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 new sort of all the global food thanks for watering your next update from moscow is in about thirty five minutes so you then.

very young. eight months of intensive school. rats. and they save lives. a welcome to. a deadly terror attack staged by a white supremacist in new zealand has sent shock waves across the world as a 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
1:28 pm
. while western governments have 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 words 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 can extract just ideas ever be overcome by reasonable debate. and if they are former 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 but an extreme right winger in new zealand. kill fifty people or so it is today so they say spotting potential jihadists that they actually have turned a blind eye to fire right extremism i think the problem has been developing for
1:29 pm
many many years and i and i wrote about this in my book. look we have always you got a problem of violent extremism probably just perspective and particular from within the muslim communities and because we haven't been addressing that effectively. it's no doubt that the narratives that didn't come out from within societies is going to give rise to white supremacy and fire right extremists know it 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
1:30 pm
to violent extremism in all its forms then i'm afraid these two monsters be it. based extremism all far right based extremism we 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 if you ever 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 i mean. the originals 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
