5:02 am
done and they're simply not going. hello there it's midday here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now 2020 presidential hopeful bernie sanders has accused u.s. national security adviser john bolton of trying to push america into a war with iran in a way that is reminiscent of another american campaign the architect of the efforts right now to get us into a war in iraq is the guy who was the architect to go to go into the war in iraq and that is john bolton busy so you know i worry about provocations on the part of the united states while in recent days washington has taken many measures to counter what he calls a credible threat from iran the u.s. has ordered all mourn emergency staff out of its embassy in iraq it's also sent b. 52 bombers and carries to the region
5:03 am
a media report suggests to this intelligence images of missiles on a rainy boats in the persian gulf sparking fear is they might be used against american troops although the images have not been published despite the lack of clear evidence though for a heightened threat from tehran washington continues to make loud noises about what . threaten their neighbors or spread instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare or ran around major destabilizing in influence in the middle east spread death destruction and chaos the leaders of iran are record here's world's largest finance era of international terrorism behind every problem is a red and we've been trying to do is to get iran to behave like a normal nation when asked for john bolton and his approach to foreign policy we have unearth some of his old into these 2010 where he does talk about his professional. in the 9th of american national security in americans what
5:04 am
they think about it john bolton has a very important job keeping americans safe after all that is the job of the national security adviser and it's very important for americans to trust someone in that position john bolton wasn't always the national security adviser here's something he said before he got the job if i had to say something i knew was false to protect american national security i would do it so considering that john bolton has a pretty important position in terms of influencing the president on international matters you think it might be a concern if he says things consistently that turn out to be false we decided to ask new yorkers. iran's continues to seek nuclear weapons and intimidate peaceful people is that true not. true i guess that's false. so the one year period that we've talked about from the point where north korea makes to strategic decision to denuclearize is something that north and south
5:05 am
koreans have already agreed to is that true or false false this sounds like something that's not true doesn't seem to fit right. i'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities well it's just the other quotes pretty much speak for themselves that john bolton doesn't seem to have a golden record however that doesn't seem to put him in any danger of losing his job at least for now. you would lie in order to preserve the truth if i had to say something i knew was false to protect american national security i would do it bolton is the point man little. jackal to carry this effort to for it and to topple the elected government of iran and while we can see the history in record of john bolton as being in favor of the wars from
5:06 am
iraq the going is where a little wrong and he's always and so the root of imperial wars abroad so from a political perspective we have to see this as a reflection of the system itself the united states they want the oil in iran and whenever a bully wants to take something out of your position then they will allege provocations to justify that violence that they're getting ready to perpetuate. meanwhile the russian embassy in washington alleges that u.s. intelligence may have staged a provocation that after a russian games design it was detained on suspicion of trying to export he west fighter jet the man you wanted to show faces up to 10 years in jail for smuggling arms documents and processing against the u.s. government and hawkins picks up the story. conspiracy to smuggle classified
5:07 am
documents and undercover sting operation at a trail leading to russia. for a classic james bond movie but for a leg to shouldn't go it's playing out in real life not on the silver screen with no hint of glamour the russian citizen is set to go on trial in august in the united states the charges are serious conspiring against the us smuggling and violating almost export control laws and you know despite decades of stereotypes about russians mr titian co isn't a secret agent or a spy many would label him a computer nerd a guy whose passion and job was developing airplane flight simulators like this one . according to the manuals he wanted to obtain were to improve his knowledge of the
5:08 am
jets and build them into a flight simulation game the problem is that despite the clear availability of such materials online only those with government licenses can export such manuals and because of u.s. sanctions on moscow sending them to russia is a big no no honestly it's a very strange situation i don't know why the united states would allow these minerals to be sold in the 1st place if they were if they could be used against the united states so there's a contradiction there if you can purchase them in the united states foreigners come to the united states purchase them and read them and we so it really does seem that the statute has a huge loophole which would suggest that. someone at some level of prosecution is unfair so titian co was charged in absentia here back in 2016 although he was none the wiser and off the traveling to ourselves. festival in
5:09 am
neighboring georgia earlier this year he was swiftly detained and extradited at the u.s. government's request eagle dynamics the software company where a leg worked for many years have distanced themselves from the whole story eagle dynamics confirms that it was not involved in any way in the actions of its employee who acted in a purely private context and his own personal interests the company develops all of its d.c.'s aircraft again modules exclusively on the basis of publicly available information and has never used nor tried to taint any classified information at least the computer whiz isn't entirely alone the russian embassy in the u.s. has been following the case accusing u.s. intelligence services of carrying out a provocation the russian embassy in the u.s. is keeping a close eye on the situation surrounding the arrest of russian national teaching crew who was extradited from georgia 5 charges have been brought against him including smuggling violating the arms export control act and conspiracy against
5:10 am
the interests of the united states there are indications that this is a provocation staged by u.s. intelligence agencies the claim isn't entirely without foundation after homeland security took an interest in titian co an undercover agent posing as a buyer of an airplane manuals contacted titian co to catch him out and gather evidence on his nefarious activities it seems that a software designer and play in the simulation enthusiastic warranted an undercover sting operation so while tisha go faces 10 years or more of prison both simulators and fighter jet miles are available online across the world just be careful where you post them and who you talk to online. it is allowing military documents to be sold they really should have a full notice of the statute violates so that there's no doubt that somebody who's buying them. fully understands the consequences the american was knowingly selling
5:11 am
something to somebody who was a russian i mean that's really something that's you know not be. loyal to your country if frankly anybody should go to jail if they could be the american and not you should. 5 major tech giants have committed to combating violent content online after world leaders are urged them to do so at a summit in paris that meeting was convened in response to the terror attack in christchurch new zealand which was live streamed and then widely shared over facebook terrorism foiling to extremism are complex sites all problems that require all of society the response from our part the commitments we're making today will further strengthen the bond with the governments decided to acknowledge industry must have to address this threat the tech firms have signed up to banning anybody who shares violent content without good reason they promise to follow up material
5:12 am
flagged as terrorist more promptly and to pay more attention to life streams in new zealand 10 people have been charged for sharing the video of the christchurch massacre just to remind you back in march a gunman killed 51 people in 2 mosques there the video was uploaded some one and a half 1000000 times on facebook in the 24 hours that followed the live stream but we discussed who should shoulder responsibility for removing bad content platforms or uses when previously activists build new media analysts lionel and also rights attorney jennifer brink. you have an army not just with facebook but with twitter there's an army of contractors employees and other people who are there to immediately get it off right away as has been stated this happens with people that espouse certain political opinions and other ideologies and so now we're talking about you know we're talking about getting off far more egregious things monitoring
5:13 am
or moderating in real time what these videos are and what becomes and is funding some research to try and improve their ability to detect this in real time with sort of automated means which is absolutely necessary given the volume of content but the technology simply isn't up to it yet the idea of somebody actually showing in broadcasting real time slaughter of human beings i make it even simpler what if this was an actual real time live stream of child pornography nobody would be even debating this i would say you've got to fix this technology and now this is nothing to do with freedom of expression nothing to do with the dissemination of ideas in no way does it violate and by the way very quickly safe book has the most incredible celerity what it comes to shutting down and immediately knocking somebody off who are spouses a poll a little opinion just by merely supporting somebody you need to recognize the fact
5:14 am
that a 1000000 copies were taken down effectively and we need to actually take a hat off to facebook the fact that it did take down so many different copies what do we do if there is a vent that is not necessarily being filmed by the perpetrator but it's already being filmed by hundreds of thousands of other people be it the olympics or the world cup or the whole joy any large gathering which is already being filled i mean we had a pipe bomb go off at the atlanta olympics that killed 2 people and injured a 100 if we had had small bones back then there would have been any number of different video. big shots of me tell you sleep and actually dealing with all those in real time would be almost impossible but those were the perpetrators do you punish them is that report told do you allow that what about people who are filming atrocities in 1000000 more they're doing genuine reports do you allow that if it appears to be atrocious attacks of the 4 we actually have to be slightly more
5:15 am
realistic than saying the technology could do it come on get you move get a move over there as a formal complicated challenge and they have i do believe and i know that they have this technology not only do they have that they have hundreds upon thousands of employees of contractors of people whose jobs it is to sit there and to see what's coming up and the moment something that is violent that is agree just that is horrific the horrific thing about this is that we are now given social media giants like facebook and twitter a very very severe amount of power that was supposed to only be a spouse of the us government federal government and state governments under the 1st amendment and now it's as if social media giants and platforms like facebook or twitter have taken over the you know what you guys have your 1st amendment governments you can't do anything we're the ones who dictate your speech now that's dangerous and that's something that needs to be consistently watched i don't want to hear anybody tell me that the technology's not there or there's no way to monitor this because let me tell you something if this war is something that was
5:16 am
5:17 am
put themselves on the line big deal except the reject. so when you want to be president. or something want to. get it right to be close this is what it looks like 3 of them or kampuchea. interested in the waters of the. last question should. welcome back now the chinese telecom giant huawei has issued a statement warning us authorities their latest move won't make america quote more secure or stronger adding that washington could end up having to pay more for lower quality 5 g. equipment that's after the u.s.
5:18 am
department of commerce place while away on a trade blacklist that decision comes hard on the heels of donald trump declaring a national emergency to protect national computer networks from what he described as foreign at 1st cerise. foran of the series are increasingly creating on exposing vulnerabilities in information and communications technology and services which store and communicate vast amounts of sensitive information the executive order says that these foreign adversaries are a major national security threat of course china has said that there has been no evidence that that huawei worked directly with the chinese government which is what the u.s. is a very much concerned about this comes days after the u.s. and china failed to meet a trade deal now the u.s. has threatened time and time again countries who continue to use while way products and have said that they will row back on sharing intelligence with these countries australia and japan so far have been to countries who have it here to the u.s.
5:19 am
and not using a while way however just recently the u.k. and germany said that they would allow 5 g.'s a huawei with limited access into their countries and the u.s. has already been angered by this information now the u.s. bans this chinese company from doing business here in the u.s. and this can also delay then 5 g. in the race for attack meanwhile hallway has expressed its willingness quote to engage with the u.s. government and come up with effective measures to ensure security here as your expert who was muson told us the latest move by washington against huawei could affect ordinary consumers on the humor. basically you potentially could see it slow down in 5 g. woman taishan. better. to not go along with the hallway buying.
5:20 am
that could that impact impact of different things a lot of different new innovations and things like that could be could be impacted and it just creates a big mess as far as trade goes and i think that consumers overall will wind up paying a price that some some point in time whether where they're not getting the type of industry and innovation that they were expecting or do stop or kennedy in the area or focus you need to deal with this company and that's it and so really will shut down the competitive nature that we're advocating. with the trade will between the 2 countries because you have to take a tumble for the last few. days by beijing and washington on each other and american phone this are apparently among those who are losing at. the price that we could get for our soybeans has put as. close to $2.00
5:21 am
a bushel below breakeven which is you know. nobody can make that last very long and stay in business. at this point we are definitely not seeing any benefit. it's just pain. however you feel about the chinese market and the way that dave treated. trade wise in the past it's it's a fact that the chinese market is is has what has made us profitable again growing soybeans hopefully in the end that the trade agreement is something that is very
5:22 am
beneficial to me as a producer here in the united states but also to the people in china. the trade agreement has to be win win or it's not going to happen well last week washington hiked tariffs on $200000000000.00 worth of chinese goods beijing them responded with similar can to measure is from claims that america is actually benefiting from the trade war with china by cashing in on import taxes however the head of the iowa soybean association says that chinese tyrus will have a severe impact on the u.s. soil beings are really been at the tip of the spear if you will in the retaliation from the chinese on the u.s. trade and chinese trade dispute but it certainly impacted the corpsman up products from the u.s. as well as livestock particularly pork kultury and of course a host of other non agricultural products so you know this you know the any disruption in trade between the u.s.
5:23 am
and any of its major trading partners will certainly have an impact on farmers from a soybean perspective keep in mind that china currently buys spots 60 percent of all the soybeans traded in the world 60 percent so when the u.s. does disruption in that relationship to china it certainly has a major impact on soybeans about one out of every 3rd row or about a 3rd of the 12 the u.s. oil being brought to prickly would end up in china course today that's not happening. the rise of nationalism was among the most discussed issues during debates ahead if the upcoming european elections with a report from paris now his shot at the penske. a polite debate which some described as being a little bit dull by the 6 candidates all vying to be the next president of the european commission they tackled some of the big issues dividing europe at the moment including migration taxation youth unemployment and of course the rise of if
5:24 am
you were a skepticism or nationalism as they describe it saying it was possibly the greatest division in europe at the moment people who used to fault for my party and many parties here are now faulting from nationalist parties sometimes even extremist parties that's our fault we see that nationalism and echo dismiss back on this continent and what we have to do over the 26 overall of may for this year's elections you have to find against those who want to destroy our europe ordinary people in european cultures that do not care about reduced politics are somehow tired from european integration well that's because there are signs in many polls that euro skeptic parties are likely to make a big gains in this next election some polls suggesting that they could actually double the number of seats which would mean if that's the case they would hold around 15 percent of the seats in the european chamber
5:25 am
a lot and many people of very concerned about that particularly the centrists and the liberals and all of the candidates urged people to do whatever they could to get out and to vote next week and some even suggested that they could be a prospect in the future of changing the mechanism of voting within the european union today we have in our external affairs the idea of unanimous vote that's for europe cannot act europe is not quick enough but after all of it who was watching suggestion that many of the big broadcasters in the larger nations across europe actually relegated that debate to be less so watched. smaller channels all online channels meaning that perhaps only a fraction of the 427000000 people who are eligible to vote next week actually saw who could be their potential next president of the european commission.

san francisco has banned the use of facial recognition technology by police and other agencies saying it endangered civil rights and liberties the move makes the city america's 1st to block it despite the fact that much of it was developed in the local tech hub of silicon valley we all support good policing but most of us want to leave you know police state. there is a recognition technology uses video to identify a person from large databases of facial imagery it can be used for marketing purposes too for example to deliver targeted ads on hoardings is also it is already being deployed for security at many american airports and large stadiums and by a number of police departments the wider state of california has also taken measures to protect people's liberties from new technology in particular from surveillance last year improved legislation bolstering people's rights in this area
5:27 am
it came after the data harvesting scandal involving facebook and cambridge analytical we spoke to chris keates he's a founder of unseen an encrypted internet server he thinks that it's hypocritical vote to produce and sell racial technologies but restrict them in your own country . ality is that this is very powerful technology and the question is do you need safeguards for it or not if the police are going to use it to find criminals and then the question is what rights do people actually have to keep their face from being used it's only a matter of time before they abuse it and use it turn it into a police state and turn everyone into a criminal if you're selling something that's used to persecute people in some other place. you know and yet you you you make it illegal to do that in your own home country it's definitely a double standard to give you an example we caught cisco doing exactly the same thing with the communist chinese they were taking they were actually helping
5:28 am
persecute people using their technology to identify people in china who are meditating who are being persecuted and yet they sell that same hardware all over the world so it's against the law in the u.s. to do that kind of thing but yet there this giant multinational corporation ends up doing it in places like china it's completely hypocritical and that brings you up to date him or not he will back again with the headlines and more stories at the top of the. this and petersburg international economic forum is a unique event in today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has become a leading global platform for discussing the key economic issues facing russia emerging markets and the world thousands of business community members attend a forum to address today's vital issues. watch especially foreign coverage on r.t.
