nation when you get trump has good reason to be concerned back in two thousand and sixteen twelve percent of bernie sanders supporters turned against hillary clinton and they ended up voting for donald trump donald trump wouldn't be sitting in the oval office without them and new polls show that history could repeat itself twenty six percent of bernie sanders supporters would not vote for elizabeth warren in the final election despite the fact that she has similar policies to her democratic rival and this growing overlap between trump and bernie's supporters seems to be a growing phenomenon i'm seventy eight and have been waiting for bernie oh my life if it's not burning my vote goes to trump out of pure spite no i can't believe it i have some trump voting friends who always said that if trump wasn't running they'd vote for bonus sound as easily they have a lot of votes are over the top even another democratic candidate in the race brought it up it just kind of turns you against the system in general and then you're more likely to want to vote for this which could lead to somebody like
2:31 pm
bernie and it could lead to something like we've been finding out of people here in new york have noticed this trend i'm sure a lot of people are fed up with our current dysfunctional government people are fed up with their traditional politics over the last twenty thirty years just think because he's an outsider and he's against the system and he was like here you know he was treated very badly during the two two thousand and sixteen election politics in the united states is taking an interesting turn seems that nowadays voters are less concerned about what you stand for and what you represent as a candidate but rather about how loudly you speak up against an establishment with many detractors a little up and r.t. new york i'm not sure off the international news for now i'll have your next update from moscow just on the whole for now see that.
2:32 pm
international memorial awards twenty nine c. the now open for entries all media professionals are eligible whether you are a freelance journalist what's real terms of media or parts of the global news plus . published works and video which. go toward. an end to now. ratings and sound so we are taking our signature back yes those were the six words spoken by us president battled from the national to the national rifle association crowd and sent them into a wild applause frenzy of emanuel summit in indianapolis on friday where trump
2:33 pm
unexpectedly been a pretty serious not that really expected we told the exuberant crowd and the world that the united states of america would not ratify the united nations two thousand and fourteen arms trade treaty you see according to the un the international arms treaty was designed to regulate the international trade in conventional arms from small arms the battle tanks to combat acar aircraft all the way up to warships all in an effort to help better control the widespread availability of misuse of weapons. former u.s. president barack obama signed the treaty back in two thousand and thirteen but the united states you see when we know there's really ratified the deal drawn one on the tell the crowd quote under my administration we will never surrender american sovereignty to anyone we will never allow foreign bureaucrats to trample on your second amendment freedoms and that is why my administration will never ratify the u.n. arms trade treaty yes dawdled those are strong words but very very little
2:34 pm
on how shall we say you know understanding of what the treaty covers and how it actually works you know mainly because the you know the u.n. arms treaty only regulates international international sales of weapons not domestic sales difference international domestic rachel stole the managing director of the stimson center at think tank and consultant to the arms trade treaty process decried trumps decision saying quote today the president once again walked away from america's leadership role in the world and undermined international efforts to reduce human suffering caused by irresponsible and illegal arms transfers. smell that air guns arms treaties broken promises and billions of dollars on the line i think it's a good time to start watching the hawks. wonder what. the big. deal with this with. the plot of.
2:35 pm
the day like you that i got. with. this. particular. welcome are going to watching the arc so i am tyrrell vinter and i'm happy and. some people don't understand how the second amendment works or the united nations rights or how treaty the work. order or this particular story in this trade and particularly international domestic two very different things well this is how this sort of political pandering marks that if you keep telling the same scare tactic oh my god the un is coming to get us all we got the u.n. is going to take iran all the un's doing this oh the ones doing that. that's where these theories become reality and then people are terrified of them and that's because we know we all love sovereignty we do know when no one here doesn't like
2:36 pm
a little sovereignty but we also understand we live in a global place and when you're talking about a global world where one hundred on average arms trade is roughly about one hundred billion dollars a year that's a lot of guns floating around in this world that's a lot of rockets that's a lot of tanks that's a lot of exactly just kind of letting the marketplace as they say i mean the u.s. sells weapons where the number one were the big dog when it comes to arms we sell weapons to least ninety eight different countries around the world with our largest client being. can you guess in a minute a while ago is the saudi arabia. where the saudi arabia compromising twenty two percent of u.s. arms exports that's incredible. from twenty four to two thousand and two in the us to go to put thirty six percent of all exports of arms so when you hear about you know the dog will telling this crowd of the n.r.a. oh they're coming after us it's not coming after us are going to arms treaties come
2:37 pm
after the dollars in new factories pockets you know the big dogs and all that they don't like these things because you know arms treaties could be cool peeps right but i don't think raytheon cares about your average joe sitting at home with a shotgun for protection or for you know critters the or whatever to be real like the big game when you when you kind of put these two things together that's when when the actual story of the actual concerns don't get raised that's what the issue is bennett the n.r.a. for quite awhile now is that you people who were members for many many years when they were still about education when they were about you know small towns or showing people these things and making sure you know hunter safety courses we took our hunter safety courses there was again right that's how we did it it was a very different culture and now it's not that culture i mean my are their concern is politicians their concern is big money their concerns are arms dealers to try to
2:38 pm
wrap up our personal liberties with corporate labor. very good but you know here's the thing about the n.r.a. the n.r.a. is not going to save your second amendment right even if it was being taken away because they're such a mess that's true they are there in turmoil right so just last week here's what happened so mr iran contra myself oliver north i know he got put in for him in charge of the n.r.a. he was it was an area president and i'm going to be shocked that that didn't go well so he was he's out so. he got into a battle with chief executive of the national rifle association long wayne la pierre is very well known in the circle of doing that so what oliver north alleged was that what's alleged is that north tried to extort la pierre in the stepping down by threatening to expose and release information about the n.r.a. his finances and apparently a story about sexual harassment of
2:39 pm
a staffer of though it wasn't by la pierre it was somebody it was a weird to me it was weird for a guy who did iran contra it was a pretty bad blackmail. but so this comes after this all came on the heels of a joint investigation by the trades in the new yorker that exposed hundreds of millions of dollars in questionable payments to and our executives contractors and vendors which i'm not surprised with what happens when you get around greedy money and all that stuff so now what you have is the new york attorney general the teacher james opened a formal investigation and vigors financial practices which if you're less that's what all over north was so i think the n.r.a. and sort of calling it a that is it's not as powerful as it used to be and i don't know where that's really going to help anybody in their software n.t. . not great. authoritarianism in the digital space has flourished in a time where comedy shows are news and news is considered propaganda time when
2:40 pm
award winning journalist work is questions because well too many people are noticing it when follower cowards are in matter of national security is it any wonder then that while big tech giants like apple are still refusing to take down saudi arabia's female tracking and travel control app abs for off their platform they aren't so protective of parents' rights in countries like the good ol us of a the new york times has reported that apple has removed a restricted at least eleven of the seventeen most downloaded screen time and parental control apps. r.t. america straight chavez has more. apple is cracking down on certain applications that help prevent i phone addiction now the new york times is reporting that the i phone maker has either were stripped it or removed so prone to control applications and now app makers believe they're being targeted two of the most popular parental control apps kids' locks and custodial have filed
2:41 pm
a complaint with the european union's competition office claiming that apple forced restrictions that damaged business according to the report over the past year apple has removed or restricted at least eleven of the seventeen most downloaded screen time in parental control apps and since apple controls the app store it has full control over what apps are allowed on i phones now many are accusing the tech giant of anti-competitive behavior since apple has its own tools to monitor screen time however app makers say it's not aggressive enough when it comes to limiting screen time and doesn't provide many options but apple says it's not about the competition but about security concerns with third party apps and insists that it only removes for violating its terms and treats app makers fairly a spokesperson for the company told the times are incentives to have a vibrant app ecosystem that provides consumers access to as many quality apps as possible she went on to cite privacy concerns as the reason that apple has forced developers to change certain features and that apple's actions were not related to
2:42 pm
the rollout of its own features kids locks one of the companies who filed a complaint against apple said business have plummeted since apple forced changes to its app that made it less useful than apple's tool apple also faces an antitrust complaint in russia from cats birds now we have reached out to apple for comment on this matter however we have not heard back reporting in new york turn it into others are to. well well well well whoa whoa i'm pretty bad apple knows exactly what you need and need well exactly so let me just go. the ray lives let's get a response to all of this craziness out the way in the press release apple explained itself saying quote we became aware that several these parental control are using a highly invasive technology called mobile device management or m d m.d.m.a. m.b.m. gives a third party control and access over a device in its most sensitive information including user location app use e-mail
2:43 pm
accounts camera permissions and browsing history. so that's their kind of excuses as to why this is out merits one which is. right it wouldn't be anything to throw it out there since all of the question now is is this is the issue of privacy now limiting the kinds of products will be able to use the kind of truck our own lives that of a parent says hey i'm ok with giving this third party control because it keeps my kid corner and i'm just throwing a mother phone rose that technology is absolute that is what that technology is the best use that you give them permission to go in and say i don't want this this and this you need to tell me yes i'm going to i want to track all that information i want to know where my kids' phone is where if you have a parent with dementia if you have you know there's a number of reasons why you would want to track that right well but if your the person giving permission to bad for your own device that's not as if they're going off and pulling it for you know anything there's a reason but one of the things i think that we will start to lose is the ability to
2:44 pm
find things that actually are helpful to ourselves because they're going and say well if you want to use an apple phone in your hand here's our child care for our child parental control app which by the way a lot of the new update i think it's like ten point two point two million seventeen whatever the latest update of the apple io asked for phones and for i pods the interesting thing is there's a lot of reports coming out from developers saying that they're alive in your world was able to get that you know so there's this you know we have to kind of look at this is a bigger it's a bigger. conundrum you know about privacy and what we're going to do and i want to there was an interesting quote i asked for gandy who is an emeritus professor of communication the university of pennsylvania told pew research back in two thousand and seventeen this he said i am hopeful that the public will become much more aware and less resigned to the fact that there are transaction generated them from asia is routinely used to shape their experience and then economic social and political markets and environments and i think this is where this is we really want you we
2:45 pm
really want all of this controlling we want this privacy and this idea like i don't want this to have this kind of technology this is invasive this isn't but we're resigned to this fact that it's all being used to make our experience better so if the experience isn't better we wonder why but we don't want them to have it unless we give it to them plus we always have to ask the big question we talk about earlier today do we really own anything anymore the way to a troll our technology and all of that from car leases house payments what do you know who actually owns it apple just comes and says it's ours are just there to now run to the bar on their technology are everybody as we go to break watches don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover and facebook you tube and twitter and see our poll shows that are two dot com coming up investigative journalist bias one joins us to discuss the her rise of the extremist attacks on places of worship around the world and that is a look at how it video game might actually be able to predict the early alzheimer's that's the state to watch.
2:46 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday should we let it be an arms race is on very dramatic developments only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of the. i'm trying to sit. him.
2:47 pm
from pittsburgh to sri lanka new zealand to silicon valley and to the philippines and now after this weekend's tragic synagogue shootings sandiego joins a growing group of cities around the world who in recent weeks on violent attacks against places of worship in their communities on saturday nineteen year old suspect john r. insolently opened fire on a synagogue just outside san diego as worshippers were celebrating the last day of passover one woman was killed and three were injured police also said the suspect is being questioned about any possible involvement with an arson event at the local mosque as well these attacks on places of worship here in the new united states and abroad and across the world to target a diverse range of people from all walks of life some religions from judaism christianity islam and with these attacks have come important questions about the causes of this kind of violent extremism the safety of institutions of faith and what role social media plays in fueling religious extremism in our society here to
2:48 pm
help us sort through the tragedy in the questions is investigative journalist ben swan welcome bed. have a thanks for having me on ben it's an interesting subject matter when we get into this but before we really get to the beat of this i just kind of want to shift really quickly to what's the latest on the synagogue shooting in santiago the condition of the survivors of the state of the suspect were we out with that right now. so right now unfortunately i don't not have the latest for you on that but what i can tell you is that obviously the search continues at this point i do not know whether or not the shooter has been taken into custody at this point so unfortunately i can't answer that question for you i apologize for that but just in terms of this you know this latest. shooting it's going to raise a lot of alarms for people right because we've seen in the last few days last few weeks question after question after question about places of worship are they safe to be and why are they being targeted with such frequency because we are seeing that and as you were alluding to here in the kind of the. lead up to the story it's
2:49 pm
not one faith one particular faith that's being targeted right now it's people of all different kinds of faiths who are being targeted but i would remind people that historically that's not an unusual thing it's a sad thing and it's a tragic thing but in reality it. there have been conflicts between people over religious reasons as long as there have been religion which is really existed as long as people have been organized in any way so it's not a new thing to see it i think we're just seeing it in a way now that's alarming people because in modern history we haven't seen that with the frequency that we're seeing it is true very true then when you know it certainly feels like. as you said it certainly feels like we're saying a lot of it although historically as you said anytime there's conflict and we've seen everyone paying for and i am from every corner whether it was louisiana or sri lanka places of worship or share usually lead where people gather or places that you feel safe is there what are the statistics say about recently are those numbers
2:50 pm
backing up that concern that there has at least in the last few weeks or months has there been an uptick. so yes there has been an uptick but you have to put it into context as you guys do all the time right one thing you have to do was avoided kind of the mainstream narrative behind these shootings so what you would think if you would or these attacks if you if you were to believe mainstream media you would believe that this is all brand new when it's only happening in mass groups and that of course is untrue there's also a big difference between religious attacks in the united states and religious attacks in other places around the world and so for instance here in the united states obviously we have that you know the churches that were being burned in the south that's very different than what we saw in charleston when the young man walked into a church and shot people to death people who were worshipping there which is very different than what we saw for instance with the synagogue shooting in pittsburgh
2:51 pm
those are all very different kinds of attacks that happen and they're all happening for different kinds of reasons but those are what's happening in the united states the new zealand shooting that. the two mosques in new zealand certainly the man who led that attack said he was doing so because he was trying to create some kind of religious war right he wanted to war between muslims and christians so he said then we saw this retaliation supposedly isis to credit for it in sri lanka and even then the numbers are vastly different to what three hundred sixty christians killed in sri lanka and so part of what we're makes it. to talk about the subject is because it's easy to paint it with a broad brush when it's not really a broad subject these are very different kinds of cases with different kinds of motivations and yes they we can kind of lump them into a category and say they're all in the juice but i don't know that they're necessarily religious people fighting each other over religious reasons i think
2:52 pm
more likely it is it seems to be individuals who are attacking groups of people who become in many ways easy targets because of where they're located when they're attacked that seems to be the case more really great great look at all of this and how this is going to go on and i have to say i agree with you completely on the idea that you know it's easy for a kind of mainstream media to kind of paint everything in a broad stroke i'm just going to keep pumping that fear like oh look out everywhere you go there's somebody's going to attack you and let's not look at this with a fine let's not get into the details of risk that's too uncomfortable you know one of the things that that i see talked about all the time is is security and like well how do we prevent these how do we stop this where do we stop it and what can we do and you know i can't imagine a society that would step back and say well let's put security guards at churches or mosques or synagogues or all that but is there any talk i mean is that something that is actually being consider thought of at this point of like actually you know
2:53 pm
treating or relive places of worship like banks but it well i think that again it's a very good question but it depends on where we're talking about right so in the united states that becomes usually the that's the typical response because we are such a a gun friendly as a society gun friendly nation in terms of people who are armed and private citizens who have guns obviously that's not true internationally worldwide people don't have guns as private citizens the way they do in the united states so anytime there's any kind of mass shooting here especially at a place of worship a lot of churches in the united states do have people who now have carry weapons with them to have security guards you know here in atlanta where. am there are a lot of churches and a lot of churches here have off duty police officers on their campuses the church that i attend actually has multiple georgia state patrol men who are on campus all the time and just kind of keeping an eye on it and they and they heavily protect the areas where you think children are not that anything's ever happened before but it's to prevent anything from happening in the future but if you look at that
2:54 pm
compared to what's happening again internationally you know the let me say two quick things about this number one the frustration i'm a christian i'm actually an ordained minister right and so when i see this happening around the world i my heart hurts for people of every faith or people with no face who are being killed as they are being killed and i think it's an incredibly tragic thing. you know when the attacks happen in sri lanka unfortunately a lot of people in this country specifically you know former president obama and hillary clinton only refer to those people as easter worshipers and i that upset a lot of people that they wouldn't call them christians who were killed and they felt like they were being you know kind of swept to the side but i think you can also become overly sensitive to those things and instead focus on what needs to happen next one of the best ways to to overcome this and i know it sounds tongue in cheek and it's not the pastor over the church and go where those bombs went off went publicly came out publicly and for gave the people who bombed the church this
2:55 pm
past week and i think that's significant and i know it sounds tongue in cheek and say well that doesn't save people in the future doesn't protect people but i think it has to have some bearing in a society where people forgive each other for doing evil things. that's where change comes from when you love the people who do evil things that's where change comes from it does not come from ok so you've killed three hundred sixty christians now we need to kill one thousand muslims right there that does not fix anything and it doesn't solve anything the other thing is when you look at what's happening around the world there are eleven christians a day killed internationally the most dangerous place in the world right now for christians is actually the country of north korea most people don't know that afghanistan is second somalia is third and christians are not tolerated in any of those countries and yet they're growing in numbers there's a huge growing movement in iran in iran of christians there simultaneously the united states has a policy of killing muslims indiscriminately around the world in what they call the
2:56 pm
war on terror and we know that muslims are not being targeted necessarily because of their faith in the war on terror and yet they're being targeted as a people group through this war on terror and so the only way for us to overcome and i know i'm kind of monologuing here i apologize but the only way we overcome that is to start changing it by by saying we we've got to insert more love into our dialogue more forgiveness into our dialogue more acceptance and understanding that wicked people will do wicked things and that does not mean that our retaliation towards it must be weak i couldn't agree with you more berman really everybody have something to do and i know there's a lot of talk when they say you know we if we just regulate the internet more social media more this is that thing out of every religion says this what you just sad i mean whether it's but as. anything it's it's about understanding where these things come from and loving each other as we sanish thank you so much ben for for talking as it is and having
2:57 pm
a different look at this. yes i think you guys in i know you have to go but regulating the internet absolutely nothing you have little talk about that sometimes goes well is that in the end. across the world an estimated fifteen million people are living with dementia in the case of all timers a video game is now helping them gain insight into those who are at risk for the disease developed in germany a game called c. hero quest is a virtual reality game in which users navigate a boat along a map in recent public in a recent published study researchers showed that the game indicated that those with a gene that sought to increase risk for all simers actually perform less than favorably on spatial navigation tasks now you'd say that there were three million users have played the game they gave researchers the equivalent of seventeen hundred years of research just for a game all to help people with dementia and different kinds of brain diseases
