international for a good morning for me the rest of t.v. this morning this is the weekly around to the big stories of the last 7 days and 1st that the united states is warning that airliners flying over the persian gulf could be misidentified and targeted amid a spike in tension right now between the u.s. and iran washington's been constantly highlighting the threat it thinks around poses to the middle east and the rest of the world. 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 here of international terrorism behind every problem is array and we've been trying to do is to get iran to be him like a normal nation. one of the fittest is opponents of the iranian regime is us national security advisor john bolton for the so keen on his job that according to an interview. he would lie in the name of national security could have moped looks

at his track record 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 continues to seek nuclear weapons and intimidate peaceful people is that true not. true right it's just that's false. so the one year period that we've talked about from the point where north korea makes the strategic decision to denuclearize is something that north and south

koreans have already agreed to is that true or false false that sounds like something that's not true doesn't seem. 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 very little. jackal to carry this effort to for it and to topple the elected government of iran 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 the violence that they're getting ready to perpetuate. it seems to trump administrations already briefed everyone on the growing arabian threat though probably not the us senate which looks like it's being kept in the dark over the plans. i would urge the state department to come down here and explain to us what's going on i've come to the fore in the law. and to demand answers by this administration about are wrong about its policy we need to understand what we're doing the hearings that are done in secret do not for inform the american people of what's going on i demand to know why we have

deployed. the american military assets we do not need another iraq weapons of mass destruction the tender box of the middle east is no place to operate on impulse or whim. that the appearance this administration has created by lacking a clearly articulated strategy for the american people to know and it's that mr president this behavior is not acceptable so while still about all the tensions between the u.s. and iran escalate some of the media seem to believe washington is being forced into action they cite a raw syria and venezuela as examples military analyst told us there is no real evidence that iran poses a threat. this is not complete surprise probably the real threat on the ground is no different to what it was a year ago or 2 years ago but the levels of escalation politically have been going up every week since the last year they're trying to link various activities of iran

undoubtedly iran is operating in the region at a heightened level but if you look at what happened in saudi arabia or the ships in the persian gulf the americans are trying to connect the dots and find a smoking gun which can say and iran responsible for all these but there is nothing official and that's why the british side of said this and all of the germans have pulled out their trainers and the americans are pulling some of their stuff out there is nothing concrete that say's iran is moving towards an action which would lead to war more big stories the last week the 1st woman to serve as the u.k.'s defense secretary pretty more than the score of 2 a controversial start she's drawn we are of amnesty international by proposing to limit the authorities ability to investigate and prosecute british veterans accused of war crimes while on active duty. it would be utterly disingenuous to have a presumption of non-prosecution for abuse yet at the same time claim justice is being served british soldiers who break the law must face just like everyone else

these proposals potentially sat a dangerous precedent human rights group isn't the only organization concerned about the proposal either particular is pretty moderate wants to extend the protections to troops who served in northern ireland to with more of the controversy ali boyo. the new boss in here has proposed a new law one that would presume soldiers innocent of any offenses committed throughout the course of june abroad more than 10 years ago although that rule could have exceptions for example if new evidence of alleged crimes were to come to light it is high time that we change the system and provide divide legal protections to make sure the decisions how service personnel take in the battlefield will not lead to repeated or unfair investigations down the line for the new defense secretary the new legislation is about making the system fairer and preventing what she called law fare repeated and unfair investigations against

former soldiers this is no surprise at preventing someone who's committed a crime from facing justice this is about stopping in industries that surrounds these processes which is not about the pursuit of justice i have the iraq historic allegations team spent 7 years trolling through allegations of murder torture wrongdoing at a cost of 60000000 pounds to the taxpayer none of the claims resulted in a prosecution and in 2016 the unit was shot down just because i competed 2nd term as you know or with the infantry or associated units i lost many men. and i was involved in fatality shootings i was investigated along with others. the investigations were. aggressive a bloody awful to go through so well former soldiers and members of the military

say that the amnesty doesn't go far enough that it needs to include northern ireland 2 human rights groups are concerned that the government's desire to better protect its former and current servicemen and women will effectively place them above the law it's reported that there are around $150.00 investigations looking into alleged abuses by british soldiers in iraq and afghanistan the question is how the victims of those alleged abuses will ever get justice if these new proposals become law because so many detained so many killed the troops are the reason for the total destruction the fate of those detained by them remains unknown. and of course some against an amnesty because of the systematic killing some of the blood they say since no one cares and we have to demand our rides through international

courts because we're just simple people who just can't go by those selves to get our horses heard on the one article there is great concern here that the crimes will be forgotten many people haven't received any compensation for the damage those who lost their homes or became disabled what they're trying to do is create an exemption from europe here humorous or for soldiers on the battlefield so we see really dangerous because obviously the battle is one place where there's not a very wonderful people to billions on others who might not be part of that whose human rights need to. understand what they need to say just sister if you committed you or if we should you get punished if you are going to go so there shouldn't be nothing i missed your exemption for anyone anywhere couldn't find an easy way to say that we will now be in all of these very back into the court and this will be our intention from the. 5 major tech giants committed to

combat in violent content online after world leaders urging them to do so in a summit in paris wednesday that meeting was convened in response to the terror attack in christchurch new zealand which was live streamed and then widely shared of of facebook. terrorism and violent extremism are complex society problems that required all of society response for our part the commitments we are making today will further strengthen the partnership the government society on the technology industry must have to address these threats that firms including google and microsoft have signed banning any woman who shares extremists or violent content they've also pledged to follow up material flagged as terrorist more promptly when new rules for live streams will be implemented in new zealand 10 people have been charged meantime for sharing the video of the christ church massacre to remind you back in march a gunman killed 51 in 2 mosques there the video was uploaded some 1500000 times on facebook in the 24 hours that followed the live stream we discuss who should

children sponsibility for removing bad content should be platforms should it be uses with a couple of people previously activist build new also media analyst lionel and rights attorney jennifer braden they are 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 or moderating in real time what these videos are and what the content 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 the slaughter of human beings all 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 that a 1000000 copies were taken down effectively and we need to actually take the top to facebook the fact that it did take down so many different gopi there would have been any number of different videos being all being short simple tenuously and actually dealing with all those in real time would be almost impossible but those were the perpetrators do you publish 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 but if it appears to be atrocious attacks of the 4 we actually have to be slightly more realistic than saying the technology could do it come on get you move get a move over there as a formal complicated challenges 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 is not there or there's no way to monitor this because let me tell you something if this war is something that was contrary to the zuckerberg world view it. would be awful for anybody even thought so they're dragging their feet it's nonsense and they know exactly what has to be done and they're simply not doing it i'm here to do the morning here in moscow good morning or if you want to run the world coming up a russian game designer faces a decade in jail accused of smuggling fighter jet manuals will tell you about that and relations between canada and the philippines are literally trashed.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. and those who they are supporting craft and they help you don't care about the mere didn't kill them or the stability of libya the only thing the cure is about their own agendas and so we might be bugged here for a long time to be really a civil war that continues for for a long time. again

the russian embassy in washington alleges u.s. intelligence may have staged provocation itself to russian games design it was detained on suspicion of trying to export u.s. fighter jet manuals all of titian co faces up to 10 years in jail for smuggling arms documents and plots against the us government doesn't hawkins's got the story . conspiracy to smuggle classified documents an undercover sting operation and a trail leading to russia all the ingredients 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 is the 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 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. it's a very strange situation i don't know why the united states will allow these minerals to be sold in the 1st place it. could be used against the united states so titian co was charged in absentia back in 2016 although he was none the wiser and after traveling to our south a festival in neighboring georgia earlier this year he was swiftly detained and

extradited at the u.s. government's request eagle dynamics the software company were a leg work 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 employ . he who acted in a purely private context and his own personal interests the company develops all of its d.c.'s aircraft gain 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 us 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

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 air play money also 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. this made headlines to the week a feud between the philippines and canada over waste disposal escalated with manila recalling its ambassador and staffers last wednesday itself a calendar of used today by a 100 containers of household waste it shipped in from the beings i can 2030. that

recall shows that we are. very serious in asking them to get back their garbage otherwise they are in a severe relationships with them where there was later discovered the waste. been mislabeled apparently as containing recyclable plastic in 2016 of course in the philippines ordered the canadian company to take the rubbish back but it continues to languish in the landfill site last month and the philippines president stepped in escalated the standoff. will declare war against canada we can take them down i'll return the trash just wait and see i will advice canada that your garbage is on the way prepare a grand reception eat it if you want to more twists and turns back in 2017 the canadian prime minister said that he was ready to work to try to find a solution is now theoretically possible to get it back but there's still a number of questions around who will pay for it where the financial responsibility

is where the consequences are of foreign affairs analyst spokeswoman ellis' justin trudeau has failed to make good on those earlier promises than. for a very long time to fill in size. unfortunately the recipient of top seek ways including nuclear waste all from the united states and saw for western allies so this issue has been lingering for quite long time canadian waddles however i see a sour point for for the philippines for if you're president you're going to tear them because with no plans or just into do what's here in the last 2 years ago for the ozzie and saw me promise that they're going to take back the trash all the garbage topsy was left here a lingering it's a 1030 and it to your scheme does not happen i mean you can even go over to say that this was a private deal between a canadian company and if filipino fans are part of the 1st get it is also good say that you know it's not only can they get spoiled is also where everyone is able to

accept these back in 2013 if the libyans this is the greatest diplomatic crisis president the new change the long term holidays philippines and canada. the old stream to project a gas pipeline that's intended to pump russian gas to europe where the baltic sea passed a big milestone this week with a 50 percent of the construction and i completed we got exclusive access to one of those vessels laying the pipeline out there in the baltic. there you have it what's probably going to be the longest spaghetti string and the wall that is making its way through the seawater and the pace is why so i mean a lot. so

we're projecting germany we're going to take friends with thank you. although there is 1st and numerous because there was a pipeline thank you. to be honest. i mean we have played all over the world you should really come in at the end of the day if you want someone else will. get. a truck in this story happening right now or still trouble in the haitian capital port au prince violence breaking out on the streets there is protesters demand the resignation of the country's president. but. police deployed tear gas to disperse the angry crowds and clashes that left several people injured accusations of government corruption and fuelled frequent protests

in that cupboard country. of the morning here in moscow that runs up just some of the stories we brought you over the last 7 days you can always find so much more of course what's happening right now on our main site dot com i'm kevin now in for me the rest of the team this weekend have a good sunday. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw one on t.v. . i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to go.

by the way ways and such like in here. in 2040 you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know lawyer here i mean your list put video through to me in the new bill is that i mean you split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. of those who took. it invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. polity years i've talked to you about the insects troll is a showing of the economy morally humans are becoming like the colony of insects bees are announced and that's all enabled by this 5 d.n.a.

surveillance pretty cool right. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. the welcome to worlds apart the 2 state solution may still be then mantra in international circles but it's increasingly hollow and deceitful promise for these

release and palestinians alike according to polls the majority on both sides find it either undesirable or unfeasible thomas more of the status quo will it take to finally change tack well to discuss that i'm now joined by. professor of political science at the university of pennsylvania professor list akins good to talk to you thank you very much for your time glad to be here now i know that you personally started out as a supporter of the 2 state solution but then you changed your mind completely and i think for the majority of of our audience 2 states between the river and the sea still seems like the most optimal and the fairest option why do you think it's good in theory and not so good in practice i put it this way you're correct back in need late 9600970 s. i was i began to be interested in the 2 state solution and became very active both as an activist and as a scholar and studying it and i believed until maybe about 10 years ago that it was

not only the prettiest picture of the future that i could imagine as plausible but also one that could be achieved through negotiations but as a result of the processes that i and others have been warning about for decades of de facto annexation. us bank in the credible. ization of the entire process polarisation and so on i no longer think that it's an achievable picture so is that there is one thing to discuss what's the best solution as far as well what would the prettiest picture of the future that you can imagine be the fairest one the prettiest one the most attractive but if you can't figure out a way to get there then it's not really a solution it's just a picture so i'm not really saying any that there is a one state pretty picture either yet but i can tell you that there is no way to get to a negotiated 2 state solution from where we are now and the continued attempt to do so is is retarding the process of actually making progress toward

a democratic solution for all the peoples who live between the sea in the river now about 2 years ago soon after president trumps inauguration you wrote that by anding this almost obligatory fixation on the 2 state solution trump may be opening the door for something more realistic do you still feel that way by accident i am reluctant to give credit to the president trying for just about anything but as the saying goes a broken watch is right twice a day and by accident away when he is at the beginning of his presidency that he be open to a 21 state or a 2 state solution whatever the is or isn't a balance going to agree on i think that was actually a smart thing to say and it recognized and in a way the position of the white house that the 2 state solution is no longer achievable through negotiation is correct there is no way to.
