great to have you with us choose day the ninth of april kevin zero in with the latest half hour world news update here from r.t. international moscow first the united states is iran's revolutionary guard as a foreign terrorist organization us secretary of state might be confirmed president trying to sit in on monday repeating like his ations that the elite force both finances and promotes terrorism the leaders of iran are racketeers not revolutionaries he really people deserve better than to be governed by this kind of. corrupt officials with this designation we are sending a clear signal a clear message to iran's leaders. including some sort of malim is band of thugs that the united states is bringing all pressure to bear to stop the regimes outlaw behavior we ask that our allies and partners around the world do the same the us

designation puts economic can travel sanctions on a military group then the measures also cover organizations companies and individuals tied with it the group considered as iran's dominant military force in fighting against icily in syria and iraq kellam opens got latest reaction and more detail for you about it. will be the first time that we've seen the u.s. government designate part of another country's government as a terrorist organization now donald trump on the statement he accuses iran of being a state sponsor of terrorism financing promoting terrorism as a tool of statecraft and we heard those words echoed by mike pompei o the u.s. secretary of state the united states is continuing to build its maximum pressure campaign against the iranian regime. i am announcing our intent to designate the islamic revolutionary guard corps including its good force as a foreign terrorist organization as a nation will take effect one week from today in response to this designation by

the u.s. government the iranian government has now declared the us central command the u.s. military to be terrorists and we've also heard from job to read the foreign minister of iran and he's spoken out and said this is another move by washington that could lead to further isolation of the united states netanyahu first who have lung. disease nation of the g.c. fully understand its consequences for u.s. forces in the region in fact they seek to drag the us into a quagmire on its behalf. should my bets have been to be conned into another us disaster the troubled ministration has particularly distinguished itself by escalating into rhetoric against the islamic republic of iran distinguishing itself from the obama administration that presided over the p five plus one nuclear negotiations but the trumpet ministration has escalated u.s. sanctions and hostility toward the islamic republic everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare or ran around spread death destruction and chaos behind every problem is

iran's the world's leading state sponsor of terrorists of iran's leaders so yes. death. and destruction however this organization that was key in defeating the ice will dyess. terrorist organization you know made great sacrifices in order to fight against i.c.l. has now been labeled itself as terrorists by the u.s. government care of mopin reporting the move to really recognize the revolutionary guard as a terror group has been welcomed by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. thank you my dear friend president donald trump for your decision to declare iran's revolutionary guards a terrorist organization thank you for responding to another important request of mine which serves the interests of our countries and the countries of the region and this decision by donald trump coming just hours before big polls opening in israel's general election benjamin netanyahu as good as mine right now over six

million people are eligible to vote at more than ten thousand polling stations across the country and abroad wrapping this one today. looking at the front runners . there is something for everyone in the israeli elections there are more than fifty parties competing although only two have a real chance of forming the next government is the likud party headed by prime minister benjamin netanyahu who fancies himself as a strongman among the successes he's talked up which is getting his ally american president donald trump to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital to recognize israeli sovereignty over the golan heights and also to label iran's revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization but that's not enough for the prime minister just before the elections he was asked if he would consider and mixing territory in the west bank yes we will go to the next stage in imposing israeli sovereignty in the west bank has made opponent is the same tryst with a distinguished military background for me israeli army chief guns he appeals to

voters who feel that netanyahu has been in power for too long i think benjamin attorney all have done a lot for the country you served in public life for more than two decades and thirteen years as a prime minister but is research enough is enough whoever wins will bring little joy for palestinians israelis in general are less inclined to compromise on the issues particularly interesting enough when it comes to young people according to a poll by the israel democracy institute we asked israelis on the streets of tel aviv what's his appeal to young people and their generation is much more violent. in the relieve like in the extreme everything is extreme nittany our own with that fear creates a lot of unity and humility a. kind of a feeling of togetherness it's not so surprising that to me younger populations

here's my a levels of support. for. many guns. that i know is way too much i'm going to. do. yeah and i'd like to be really don't trust them a little relieved our own eye for planting your own eyes i think and she's a successful now as it is and i'm afraid of changes i don't know if i one day someone has to be those been the several a geisha against in the last several years and those very good chances is going to end in prison in the next year or so except the faith in his own presidency hasn't achieved any significant achievements gideon levy is a columnist at the israeli newspaper her red sea breaks. those elections about an attorney oh yes or no it's almost the only issue at stake almost the only issue on the table and they're almost the only sure which is discussed and you know

here emotions are very high balls their actions those who believe in him go for believe he's a victim of the system those who believe that only him can secure the future of israel only him can stand visit the rabid new putin and donald trump and other leaders of the world and look at them as an equal partner and those who believe that these men have created enough for them agenda should go home the way the and you know all is going either way that brings israel's support from the united states this is something the voters might have in their mind but it will not be in their first priority so it's billed as one of the ties that tightest races there for years will be across those exit polls throughout the day as they start to come in you know is believed to be said to be on track to become the longest serving leader there because fingers crossed for there anyway but of course is not a done deal at all we'll keep you up to date with what happens there. the u.k.

government claims it's going to have the toughest internet laws in the world and a plan outlined in the online harms white paper it suggest penalising or even blocking websites that fail to take down potentially harmful content covering everything from child abuse to this information nexus polyploid who explains that there are fears that when this regulation there's also censorship. too much freedom can be dangerous that's the message from the u.k. government which has unveiled ambitious new plans to oversee the safest corner of the internet the country that's famous for bringing you mary poppins is aiming to be the world's best online nanny we're putting a legal duty of care on these companies to keep users safe and if they fail to do so toss punishments will be imposed. the era of social media firms regulating themselves is over it's time to do things differently it's time to keep our children safe so how is the british government going to make the u.k.

the safest place to enjoy the net well for starters there are going to be some strict new rules any company that allows online interaction will be responsible for their users safety as well as the content that appears on their services in the most obvious examples that will mean purging illegal material related to terrorist and child sexual exploitation and abuse and if companies fail to clean up their act the likes of facebook and twitter will be put on the naughty step by a new independent regulator for the internet companies will face substantial fines for failing to pull down dangerous or extremist materials if the fines don't work bosses of the offending firms could be liable to criminal prosecution and if that fails to websites could be blocked entirely for u.k. internet users and that regulator should have teeth so we're going to consult not

just on remedial notices on fines and that can be up to four percent of global turnover at the moment none of this is law yet they'll be twelve weeks of public consultation only after that draft legislation will be drawn op but there are already concerns over the prospect of tough new regulations there's so much come to know that you can just influence. well really anybody but especially the younger generation kids i would disagree i think the internet is something which is open and it was a good thing that it was always open and not any form of government or whatever i think it's probably a good idea i think this is enough regulate that i think it's. pretty. good idea i think it's a good idea to have some protection in there but its plans how stringent and how close they are to every day stuff internet needs better regulation most definitely

why. two three four one and then the government says it wants to remove what it calls harmful content but who will be the arbiter of what stays out up and what goes down so those social media companies will have to do two things first is to set out filters process to see just to show that they are doing whatever they can you know to to prevent material that could potentially cause serious harm to young children a lot of people in the second they will have to act in a speedy manner to any request to remove such material at the moment the government is still deciding whether the job of regulating should fall on the shoulders of a new independent body or an existing one like broadcast regulator off kong and when it comes to the big social media fams well like students craving more

stringent discipline facebook has tentatively welcomed the plan for greater and government oversight with a caveat or to. these a complex issues to get right and we'll look forward to working with the government and parliament to ensure new regulations are effective. the u.k. government says it wants to be a trailblazer but the question is how to implement strict a safety measure as without restricting freedom of the internet. a lot to juggle quick break but much more when we come back here out internationally including romania wanting to help stem the brain drain it's time to get skilled workforce to up sticks for better pay elsewhere within the e.u. is the catch we appreciate you watching.

that. i do think the numbers. they matter to us is over one trillion dollars of debt more than ten white collar crime families. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich with six percent world market thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred first circuit per second and that one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one just showed you know for the one and only boom but.

again a crippling shortage of skilled workers in romania as president to join other small e.u. nations now to condemn the bloke's freedom of movement policy as professionals leave their nations for better paychecks elsewhere within the e.u. they hitting the growth of the home countries partly because got more. fears aspiring e.u. members the idea of joining the board is dream need european union membership if what they have in european states will also be present in macedonia who can embrace a completely new agenda today in order to meet deadlines kitch up with their neighbors and join the group of countries still be the first not last in line to join the e.u. states on this new e.u.

vision because we are the most europe music nation in europe but feel realize. that adding to their would lose there is the crippling brain drain part of the so-called prize of being a member state is freedom of movement you can move and what ever you won't see but according to remain here that comes at a price and when you go with me with the list one media list of which you keep the only one. with a bit of it is the euro is not the same we think you. can see this the procedure. of higher paid work is just too much it's not just romania that's

suffering either hungry has also warned it's facing an exodus of well educated people to take in the higher paying jobs elsewhere in the e.u. it seems the brain drain is actually one of the biggest worries that some countries have it's a problem that needs solutions according to hungry second largest parliamentary party he'll pick our talented young people who are skilled who are educated in our country believe after the. recent receive their university degrees and go to western europe to to search for better jobs and i think it is unacceptable that a doctor in hungary receives ten times less than a doctor in the in the u.k. if that you want to have a future and it wants to be a stable economy and competitive on the global stage it has to eliminate those structural differences but as the e.u.

expands further some countries might be asking where they can really afford to be caught off the club so it's even ski i see paris well told her leaving the club with a crunch day on the brakes it calendar britain's parliament passed a bill requiring the prime minister to see get another extension to exit the european union the move was aimed at preventing the u.k. from maybe crashing out of the block altogether without deal this coming friday which is may set to meet the german chancellor angela merkel and french president emmanuel mccrone related to try and get their support for a delay of the thirty of his juice she's then due in brussels for emergency summit on wednesday so that will go to the vote it's almost three years since the brics a referendum many in the u.k. have changed their mind on whether or not they should leave the unit all know or want turn in boston but one hundred kilometers north of london is home to thousands of migrants from eastern european countries now back then that voted overwhelmingly

to leave the e.u. so we went to find where the pendulum swinging these days. the people already voted . so they should lay we had a vote we do so much to leave stick to it. and let's get out now its price thank god they jumped on the land made news today their wife has these make it the job is now we have no tradition that we're not even set up right still for guys to pay paul. respect. you know to drink in the story it's not safe to walk around especially not time if you integrate in a community. where you pay your taxes so you try to you know get along with the others i think there shouldn't be any problems because we have people of the world we all put on we belong to each other we should help each other instead of like but there's that research fellow at the university of edinburgh dr kevin mitnick explains what's next them for breaks it now the prime minister is heading to

brussels once again. it's much more likely that. the rest of the want to keep the pressure on the u.k. government to make sure that if they are to be requesting an extension that there is some kind of purpose for it that there's a plan for why either extending it to them is always try to emphasize that these extensions are technical extensions are there to sort of the process in the commons and in the lords can go through the planning of these negotiations with the labor party go. to the end of the thirtieth of june has already been put out there so that's probably if the talks are going well that will probably be the case if there's nothing forthcoming from out there it wouldn't surprise me if there was a long extension was at least threatened to the rest of the conservative party to keep let them vote for this rather than to possibly have no the. prime minister of the breakaway boken state of kosovo we see we pledged total loyalty to the united states during an official visit to detroit. oppositions a

similar to what the us stands for and most on the ground know its i am an american soldier on the ground he also told the media that washington must support kosovo in order to push back against russian influence in the balkans because of a prime minister is a staunch supporter of the us and nato and in march he was sacked a minister who was critical of the military's alliance actions in the former yugoslavia but despite the allegiance to the us he continues to maintain that kosovo was fully sovereign and pursues its own policy today kosovo's a partially recognize yet disputed state it unilaterally declared its independence from serbia in two thousand and eight after decades of bitter tension between albania and communities in the region when political analysts we spoke to says america is clearly pulling the strings in kosovo. he wants to give the image of being an independent country don't forget that today kosovo is not recognized by seven of humanity china doesn't recognize kosovo or india russia. spain the vatican doesn't have been recognized host of works and own country so you try to fight for

that but. you still remain in the capital of the americans and he says it himself heritage actually just coming to washington to suck up to washington and say we're stuck here we'll do whatever you want we want need or we want the european union we want to know you know where you are best what is important is that whatever it is you're going to be doing over there we see that the point for him is to show that they will always be the servants of the americans in the dark and this is the most important point. now the big story briefly on this lunchtime the government in libya has condemned monday's airstrike on an airport in tripoli as a war crime forces led by general khalifa haftar launched an offensive last week in the temper seize control of the country's capital the seventy five year old generals an american citizen he defected from the libyan army in one thousand nine hundred seventy unfold an opposition willing to overthrow their leader colonel gadhafi three years after that he fled to the us shortly after the national uprising against gadhafi in twenty eleven then have to return to libya now it is

watching the hawks delves bit deeper into the general's background. fax from the libyan military and pledges loyalty to the national front for the salvation of libya which is this u.s. cia saudi backed operation that's dedicated and planning to overthrow gadhafi he and his men are literally trained by the cia special activities division which is the cia's paramilitary arm in sabotage and these other guerrilla scales continues to train with the national front for the liberation for the salvation excuse me of libya in rural virginia he's very close to here in anticipation for another libyan coup attempt and are smarter audience members might notice this is quite close to cia headquarters so still having those ties there suddenly in twenty fourteen he's back challenging this u.n. backed libyan government in february he releases this video calling for a coup against gadhafi against excuse me against the u.n. backed government he rails against them for not doing enough to get rid of these

islamist groups so his goal is now to get rid of these is the missed militias that he accuses of terrorizing libya and what's funny here is the u.s. response according to one former state department official quote everyone was like is this a joke because he used to be a cia asset and now a sudden he's against the u.n. backed government so now at this point new america which is one of washington's think tanks says huffed are is threatening western interests and western media is kind of dismissing this as like oh this russian puppet this brutal dictators trying to make gains of course it's going to you know help them if they try to launch another offensive but at this point like they've taking key pieces of land when it comes to oil from the u.n. backed government on the washington post as you know now saying oh the cia asset has become a u.s. headache in libya. as you do produce stories which are always close to.

a great rest of this tuesday. kind of financial survival job today was all about money laundering first to posit this cash into three different. good this is a good start well we have our three banks all set up maybe something in europe something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in the act of congress to decide to give me a call and say hey i'm ready to do some serious injury ok let's see how we did while we've got home got a nice laundry watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury automobile again for max you know what money laundering is highly illegal to appear to. do this but ok so what's this you do. you do this for the first one to

shooter live stream that massacre on facebook and as in many other recent cases posted in extreme. missed manifesto cited online extremist influencers and then repeated their rhetoric. well meanwhile today the european commission's high level expert group on artificial intelligence published its ethics guidelines for trustworthy the commission's work attempted to establish ethical principles on human rights and really there were four ethical principles here number one respect for human autonomy number two prevention of harm three fairness and for explicit delivery but according to access now the european commission created a clear imbalance in the composition of the commission by appointing a majority of business representatives in comparison to really only a handful of civil society representatives thereby undermining and spend eight to give recommendations on future related policy development on ethical legal and societal issues related to
