medium polygamy is a landscape leads to poles in the first round of ukraine's presidential election so far he's taken thirty percent of the vote. facebook calls for global internet rules and for governments to play a more active role in regulating it. and the canadian prime minister is hit with fresh allegations of attempting to interfere in a major corruption scandal. midnight in moscow now tuesday the second of april i'm calling brain l.t.h. you with your well news for this hour first to ukraine is set for

a second round presidential runoff with almost all the votes counted from sunday's election comedian and political newcomer have a lot to me as a lens is well ahead in the polls with over thirty percent of the vote he'll face the incumbent president poroshenko who's. they counted on him gave him all kind of help and thought he'd take the x. soviet republic somewhere new the result roughly eighty five percent of ukraine voters want to show petro poroshenko the door the western establishment is baffled for them choosing between someone as hated today as the chocolate king pershing co and funny guy selenski aka is a president is a tough one backing the winner of round one who has no political background at all is like opening pandora's box well look at who he's been destroying with jokes for years the names are all they're way behind him now how's that for

a political background. and we did you know. we will bring back crimea. ok this is. what about his own sitcom launched in two thousand and fifteen selenski character just a schoolteacher on a fast track to be president turns the whole system upside down. just like maybe he never even thought of it and maybe his sensation came about because someone once randomly told the man why don't you give it a try in real life anyway world leaders should probably start watching out for comedy shows or at least avoid petro poroshenko mistakes like making a ton of promises you can't keep petro poroshenko came to power after the my dad

revolution he was loved in america and europe ukraine was then desperate for a strong new leader what did the people hope to get from mr poroshenko a country with no corruption less poverty a proper alliance with nato and the you and to the civil war in ukraine's east and hold men abroad he lost a lot of support by failing at all that with probably one exception ukrainians can stay in the you for ninety days without a visa the president did his best to cut off all possible ties with russia and that was the essence of his campaign but russia has been waging a hybrid war against a country for five years. under the threat of fools going to war with russia that the tactic didn't really work in the country where millions still speak russian and have relatives there it looks like it probably won't help mr poroshenko in the run

off either almost fifteen percent is just too big of a margin even in round one all the hugs and kisses from nato's most powerful people have a sell by date. well this year's ukrainian presidential elections seem to have gained less attention in the west than they did in two thousand and fourteen the country's also received less u.s. financial assistance for the vote than it has in previous years as well political analyst martin summers says that significant. open amounts of money that they've committed to the election suggests that they're losing face in the puppets in ukraine. is clearly a busted flush and they don't particularly want to waste any more time and energy trying to keep him in power no doubt they will be beating a path to zilinskas door this minute hoping that if he does win that they will be able to influence in the directions they would like to see but they clearly clearly if they don't see it was one of the candidates think that's hopeful for ukraine and

hopeful for the general situation because we do need their independent people they've got a bit an independent and maybe he's going to come up with some more sensible policies than we've seen in the last few years we'll have to see it's not clear. governments are being urged to play a more active role in policing the internet 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 mark zuckerberg demands represent 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 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 we. 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 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 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 ik media all for batiks paid it 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 fianna 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. an investigative journalist dave lindorff believes mark zuckerberg is only out for his own interests. wolves are getting 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 have been 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 it gets broken up the company gets smaller has less power. and to gets hurt in the competition with larger entities late google is 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. ok some developing news on the bricks if you're expecting

any progress from parliament think again m.p.'s have just rejected all four motions put forward to try to resolve the bracks it and pass the options before them they had four to choose from one was to remain in the european single market or negotiate a permanent customs union another would have seen the british people have the final say on any withdrawal agreements that was also a motion making sure that the u.k. doesn't crash out of the european union without any deal on april the twelfth all of those options have now been thrown out by and pays they were any indicative votes which means they were going to bind the government and anyway but it tells the reason may that none of those options are being considered by british m.p.'s abstaining stand britain will leave the european union on april the twelfth without a deal unless the reason may can go back to brussels and negotiate some sort of extension which could see the u.k.

staying in the queue for quite some period of time that would also mean having to take part in. mazie european elections so no further forward eleven days to the next breaks it date as set by brussels last week and when there are more details on this as to what to resume a plans to do there's no indication yet that downing street are going to say anything but presumably to reserve may we'll say something in the commons in the coming minutes when that happens we'll let you know what she plans to do to break the. impasse option so far have not worked. on to other news now videos emerged online purportedly showing a group of protesters attacking a convoy carrying venezuela's self-proclaimed leader. the opposition figurehead was reportedly on his way to speak at a rally in a deprived part of caracas. was talking to local media reports military police officers who went over to present

the douro can be seen in the video protecting why does convoy the protesters held insults of the country self declared leda demanded that he leave the most populous district in caracas to us mike blumenthal give us his thoughts on the footage. that's ironic to see government security forces actually protecting a figure who's calling for the government to be toppled and who's actually attempting to fragment the security services from within it's also ironic because we constantly hear about venezuela as some kind of ruthless communist dictatorship but here you have a situation that certainly would not be tolerated in the united states or other countries where someone who's leading it who is protected by the security services the government he's trying to take out what kind of dictatorship is this well apparently it's not a very effective one and what's happening here is really interesting though isn't it this is where nicolas maduro his base is this is where son actually lives why is

why don't they or why is he in a government stronghold because the u.s. wants him to get arrested to create a provocation that's why he's there. the canadian prime minister is facing renewed pressure to resign over a corruption scandal after secretly recorded telephone conversation between senior officials was leaked suggesting the just introduce trying to protect an allegedly corrupt company from prosecution the allegations surrounding the engineering giant s. and c. level and go back to twenty fifteen when it was charged with bribery and fraud to secure contracts in libya and since those allegations surfaced several senior government officials and also have stepped down and the leaks counted as a top civil servant is heard saying the trigger was firmly against the company facing prosecution on several occasions. michael i have to say including this conversation previous conversations that i've

had with the prime minister and many other people around it it's entirely inappropriate and it is political interference or kind of his prime minister denies any wrongdoing while stressing that his support for the country's largest construction firm was intended to protect jobs independent political analyst and the sundra bruno thinks the scandal is down to political incompetence. well it's certainly a mess in the office and i think the we haven't seen the end of it but not necessarily just because of the s. and c. scandal. which i think suggests more than illegality that the the prime minister is incompetent so far he hasn't gotten anything done and perhaps with a better political strategy he could have gotten the. s. and c. level and protected and wilson. placed in an equally important position in cabinet that she would not have spoken out or created the rift with the prime

minister so there is a level of political incompetence here because many prime ministers are called to do what to do it was called to do to protect jobs at a canadian company. an international chain off a tele to clinics has been slammed for helping hundreds of australian couples choose the gender of 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 out 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 i color and even kill certain illnesses about on editing human embryos is established in twenty nine countries around the globe the u.s. too has restrictive rules on research but gender selection is not prohibited scientists bryan how many explains concerns surrounding genetic engineering. the

risks are so high right now know that you know that's that's why the wired genetic engineering has been banned for humans because in animals you get you get situations where you get a 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 edge of being being ready to do that in a way that is reliable enough. for human use human rights lawyer jennifer breeden and money 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 that 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 that i just think the president this creates is very troubling. specifically in the science community and parenthood and in the family system as a whole. the authorities in california have released disturbing body cam video of

the police shooting of american rapper mccoy it apparently shows that the musician with asleep at the time of the next video does contain upsetting images and sounds . they're all there they're they're. exploring. into. the incident took place in february police were initially called to check on mccoy as 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 claims in the bigger picture police in the united states killed more than a thousand people in twenty eighteen and most of the officers involved did not go on to face criminal charges for african-americans and latinos are statistically

more likely to be shot by police than any other group michel groceries from communities against police brutality says the officers in the william a quick a 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 started screaming could have 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 that you know i understand but they were maybe a little spooked by the fact that he had it on loaded gun in his law the bottom line is that you know they should have attempted to wake you first in the united states you are an extremely for all small fraction and i believe these police officers should be charged with murder as well. turkish voters have dealt president

ones ruling party a major blow in local elections the electoral commission has announced that his aka party has lost control of the capital ankara and also istanbul thousands of opposition party supporters are paid out celebrating in both cities however the party is reportedly planning on challenging the results of the countries to vote population centers alleging there have been widespread voting irregularities despite the setback the ruling party and tell i still came out on top nationwide taking more than fifty one percent of the vote the turkish president welcomed the victory. it. should be. good the results show that in these elections as has been the case in the november two thousand and two elections we as the a.k.p. have once again come first by a wide margin. to poach all that turkish political analyst use of air and told us he believes the i.k. party's done relatively well given the country's economic woes. c.h.p. 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 selections we've seen them go out in imperious the conservative electorial you have to realize. is that the out party has been in power for seventeen years now it's a party that had up to fifty two percent of the vote at one time in we see at this election that their 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 everyone knew that this temple and her were going to be a very tight race 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 because actual news for this hour i'll be back to update you off the sofa and explore how to tackle the problem of radicalized. 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 let's.

conniff cuddyer former al qaeda member and had of active change foundation that deals with extremist views. while western governments have. 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 mixer. another terror attack can't stream just ideas and to be overcome by reasonable debate. kind of cavalier former old turncoat in had of the active change foundation welcome to the show it's great to have you with us so a ricin was a attack on a mosque by an extreme right winger in new zealand kill fifty people or so it is today so they say spotting potential jihadist that they actually have turned a blind eye to fire right extremism i think the problem has been developing for

many many years and i and i wrote about this in my book. look we always you've 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 narrative that doesn'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'd only 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 violent extremism in all its forms then i'm afraid these two monsters be it. based extremism or 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 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 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. eric.
