election comedian and political newcomer of a lot to me as an end as well ahead in the polls with over thirty percent of the vote he'll face the incumbent president petro poroshenko who's trailing on just fifteen percent looking at why the current lead to support appears to have plummeted. 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 the 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
6:02 pm
a political background. and we did you know i'm going to. bring back crimea. ok this is. what about his own sitcom launched in two thousand and fifteen selenski character just a school teacher 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 down
6:03 pm
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 at holdman abroad he lost a lot of support by failing at all that was 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 russia has been waging a hybrid war against a country for five years and crane is under the threats of fools going to war with russia the tactic did 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
6:04 pm
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 this year as ukraine. in presidential elections seem to have gained less attention in the west than it did in twenty forty the countries also received less u.s. financial assistance for the vote than it has in previous years political analyst martin sommer 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 at 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
6:05 pm
ukraine and hopeful for the general situation because we do need you know independent people have 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 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 also 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 very much 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. the different people get wrong we don't
6:06 pm
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 a. our mission and our philosophy not about just kind of some short term business decision i really very deeply believe that we're 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 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
6:07 pm
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 now 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.
6:08 pm
the saying goes the route to hell is paved. 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 embroiled in was its wholesale cleansing
6:09 pm
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 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. the messages are slick filled with graphics with graham. young left leaning americas 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
6:10 pm
a few friends and millions of enemies. investigative journalist dave lindorff believes mark zuckerberg is only out for his own interest. 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 get hurt in the competition with larger entities late 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
6:11 pm
just a free speech issue. within the past hour the british parliament just rejected all four motions put forward to try and resolve the bracks a deadlock and things held a second series of so-called indicative votes of the prime ministers you would draw a plan was resoundingly defeated three times i went out from the table today was to remain in the european single market that was turned down by a margin of twenty one a motion to negotiate a permanent customs union closest to winning a majority that was out by just three votes but m.p.'s roundly rejected giving the british people the final say on any withdrawal agreement finally a motion to further delay bracks it was the most unpopular of all so as things stand that a full legal position is that the u.k. will leave the e.u. with no deal in place and just eleven days time after the motions failed to pass up a zisha needed jeremy corbin calls the parliament to be given another vote on wednesday. if it's good enough for the prime minister to have three chances at her deal. then i suggest that possibly the house should have
6:12 pm
a chance to consider again. the options that we had before us today i needed to break on wednesday so that the house killing six c. where the prime minister has failed in presenting a credible economic relationship with europe for the future that prevents is crashing out with no deal prime ministers the other is cost me refuses to compromise it is crystal clear to us from scotland that i have put suddenness times not disrespect. but before the vote took place activists stripped off in the house of commons public gallery to raise awareness about climate change we all twelve people. make twelve people were arrested some was aimed at n.p. to remind them that there are other big issues other than tackling the bricks in us talking about.
6:13 pm
video has emerged online purportedly showing a group of protesters attacking a convoy carrying venezuela's self-proclaimed leader why does the opposition think ahead was reported on his way to speak at a rally and i deprived part of caracas. i . according to local media reports military police officers who were loyal to president the door open be seen in the video protecting what i was convoy protest as held insults of the country self declared leader and demanded that he leave the most populous district in caracas journalist max blumenthal who's recently been in venezuela give us his thoughts on the footage . it'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
6:14 pm
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 a coup is protected by the security services of 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 isn't it this is where nicolas maduro his base is this is where he. 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 a secretly recorded telephone conversation between senior officials was leaked suggesting that just introduced trying to protect an allegedly corrupt company from prosecution the allegations surrounding the engineering giant s.n.c.
6:15 pm
level and go back to twenty fifteen when it was charged with bribery and for old to secure contracts in libya a sense that a geisha is surfaced several senior government officials and also have stepped down in the leaks or you know kind of his top civil servant is saying the truth i 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 a kind of just prime minister denies any wrongdoing while stressing that his support for the country's largest construction firm which intended to protect jobs and dependent political analyst alexandra 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
6:16 pm
necessarily just because of the s. and c. scandal. which i think this is just 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 that 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. next the risk of racial profiling in tapping u.k. knife crime.
6:17 pm
chose seemed wrong. just don't call. me baby yet to shape out just they become educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so security council should have a mandatory one percent of all stock bonds for ex transactions to go into social security so that every individual let's say when they become eighteen they've got fifty sixty seventy thousand dollars in there that they can go spend on college if they want to that's a that is a that is an extra analogy of this economy that's being recycled repurposed regenerated into an ecosystem an economy that is like more mimics that of nature.
6:18 pm
back police in england and wales are being given more powers in a controversial scheme to combat a knife crime epidemic that compares according to move regressive in a concern that the powers could be abused but i'm secretary says officers need protection to. the police and on the frontline in the battle against serious violence on his voice a week give them the right tools to do that job. the so-called stop and search method will be tried in seven hotspot areas in england and wales and will be allow police to search any person or vehicle without reasonable suspicion and change comes in response to at least forty nine people being fatally
6:19 pm
stabbed this year alone families of the victims have expressed their support for the measure but say it should have been implemented years ago critics argue that the powers will give the police the opportunity to racially profile individuals we also for people in london what they think about the stop and search measure i think if you look at the. communities we talk you'd rather obviously stop and search but i think with a little north probably lou we got a moment to really go do something so. it works. i think is quite intimidating as he would be a target here i think he's not always essential and you have no reason to do you say. he isn't always. something it just. looks how to present in the end of the day for nothing to hide. problems that can come and so. you know discussing the problem with me earlier on r.t. were formal london police officer peter cook and social activist leigh jasper who
6:20 pm
is a former qualities advisor to the mayor of london. i'm afraid discrimination is a fact of life disproportionality and racial profiling is part of the culture of urban policing in large inner cities there's nothing to say that if there is any disproportional sooner probably assume that it's due to the racism of police officers than officer of the law with out any reasonable cause. you can stop and detain you is a fundamental breach of our civil liberties you can't do the public health approach without establishing peace on the streets in the first place and the only way of doing that the only way of stopping someone getting stabbed tonight tomorrow next week next month or maybe even next year is policing that's the only chance we've got of stopping knives that around the streets being used so i think a bit like the flat earth society people are just making stuff up to justify their political position is very clear the prime minister has said that stop and search
6:21 pm
is on just looking to the police to sort it out and that's what they've always done in the past and the police have always had some contingency capacity in the past but that doesn't mean there's not a role for police in that absolutely isn't class go. to show that they need to establish peace on the streets for these are the things to take a chance of taking root and having the longer term effects but i think that partly politicians are under pressure because of the media reports of the killings of young people in all sorts of age groups really who've lost their lives on the streets of london and we see this repetitive cycle of media commentary police on the pressure call for more powers more heavy enforcement approach well people are criminalize situation doesn't get any better. the authorities in california have released a stirring body come video of the police shooting of american rapper willie mccoy and apparently shows that the musician was asleep at the time the video we're about
6:22 pm
to show you does contain upsetting images and sounds. it was. there were. three. thousand three hundred. that incident took place in february police were initially called to check on mccoy's wellbeing six officers shot him twenty five times claiming he leaned for his gun when he woke up in his car the evidence suggests police did not try to wake him up something that his family also claimed. on the bigger picture police in the united states have killed more than a thousand people in twenty eighty 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 to show gross who is from
6:23 pm
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 practices they should not have shot it here and you know it was ridiculous they started twenty five times and then they started screaming going to your hands out of your hands and a man was dead and the fact that they chose to wake him up with bullets and of course kill him is wrong there can be no other explanation than rates you know i understand that they were maybe a little spooked by the fact that he had an on loaded gun in his life so the bottom line is that you know they should have attempted to wake you first in the united states you know an extremely for all small fraction and i believe. police officers . turkish voters have dealt president ruling party a major blow in local elections the electoral commission has announced that his aka
6:24 pm
party has lost control of the capital ankara as well as a stumble thousands of opposition party supporters have been out celebrating in both cities however the party is reportedly planning on challenging the results in the country tonight population centers alleging been widespread voting irregularities despite the setback the ruling party and its ally still came out on top nationwide taking more than fifty one percent of the vote the turkish president welcomed the victory. the results show that in these elections as has been the case in the november two thousand and two election. as the a. once again come first by a wide margin a. lot of turkish political analyst use a fair and told us he believes the i.k. party has done relatively well given the country's 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 and they took a step to the right during the selections we've seen them go out and embrace the
6:25 pm
conservative electorate 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 in 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 is an overheating of the economy and when you take all these into account forty five percent being the top party is still a very good result everyone knew that. there 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. as if from
6:26 pm
6:27 pm
to the right to be close to slightly before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. first sydney. with goal make this manufactured consensus instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. that's not going the whole middle of the road signals. being real music is really. a good thing something they've mastered us is over one trillion dollars in debt
6:28 pm
more than ten white collar. i'm happy he did. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent in world markets boast thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and that one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know bored in this one and only boom but. 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.
6:29 pm
6:30 pm
like a stick at the so you know i got like what i needed when i was a baby but i had a bad childhood from first grade i was a cool kid i mean i really was a first grade to middle of third grade just when i left my childhood which was bad and live with somebody else i was a family my mom's friend and from like. every since i left the house that i like and i went to another person and i swear i started doing bad stuff you know it's being sneaky and i jot down a line down the remember i like tenth grade so i'm on say you don't have to go to school if you don't want to so i said i'm down that never wore my school and i never want to go back to school i guess is in my blood so. i mean i was always.
