i am. to some of the big news of the week the united states warned that airliners flying over the persian gulf could be misidentified and targeted it. became one of the topics on the agenda of russian and u.s. foreign ministers to the russian grizzle city of sochi she described as productive in detail. and human rights advocates raise the alarm over the u.k. defense secretary the proposal for british better and immunity for. dangerous president. plus 2 the world's biggest tech companies pledge to crack down on. price church.

sunday morning. international this is the weekly a roundup of the top stories we reported to you over the last 7 days starting with this one the united states is warning the airline is flying over the persian gulf could be misidentified and targeted amid a spike in tensions between the u.s. and iran washington's allies have also joined in the latest front against iran saudi arabia's foreign minister says his country stands for peace but will respond firmly and decisively if necessary the u.s. stance has been clear for quite some time. 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 financial year of international terrorism behind every problem is iran 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 the u.s. national security adviser john bolton seems to be so keen on the job that according to an interview back from $22.00 and you would log in the name of national security caleb maupin 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 this 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 is 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 the rules alleged provocations to justify the violence that they're getting ready to perpetuate this into chump ministrations already briefed everyone on the growing iranian threat the party mil the us senate which looks like it's being kept in the dark over the plans . i would urge the state department and d. o. d. to come down here and explain to us what's going on i've come to the fore in a lot. 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 air rock weapons of mass destruction volman 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 that is the president this behavior is not acceptable while the tensions between the u.s. the run escalate in some of the media seem to believe washington is being forced into should they sites in syria or in venezuela to use examples military analyst

told us there's no real evidence that iran does pose 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 to words and action which would lead to war. or the loss of this around was part of a broader discussion too between the top diplomats of russia in the u.s.

which took place this week in the russian resort city of sochi the talks were described by both ministers as frank and productive both sides said they were ready to move relations forward although admitted to that they still don't see o.d.i. on a number of crucial global issues with more details of that meeting our senior correspondent . they've managed to talk about all their differences and they vanished honestly say to each other we disagree on this this is how we see it we disagree on this this is how we see it and booth have said that well that's good but we can talk 1st topic of course that is well up on venezuela we have disagreement i urge my russian colleagues to support the venezuelan people as they return democracy to their country. the united states and more than 50 other nations agree that the time has come for nicolas maduro to go he's brought nothing but misery to the venezuelan people. and we hope that russians who support. form a girl will and democracy to steal and use them on democracy can be imposed by

force the threats coming both from u.s. officials and the opposition leader. who is always reminding us of the possibility of military intervention have nothing to do with democracy. what both countries seem to agree on is that it's venezuelans that should decide what happens to their country also on iran much the same situation although not as radically opposed russia saying that it believes the iranian nuclear deal of 2015 is the best option going forward it's a system a platform a framework that's already established that will guarantee to the international community that iran isn't pursuing nuclear weapons the united states agreeing to disagree with most new mother we have many disagreements on iran now but the fact that we've started talking on this issue gives us hope that we will be able to achieve agreements if both sides show willingness to do that which i made clear

that the united states will continue to apply pressure to the regime in tehran until its leadership is prepared to return to the ranks of responsible nations that do not threaten their neighbors or spread instability or terror nevertheless both sides have said that you know they. we'll continue to work together on coming up with some sort of solution along with the other signatories of the iran nuclear deal the north korean front 41 that both sides have made progress that real progress has been made on making sure that the north korean the korean peninsula is denuclearized also we heard about meddling of course busy the russians saying that . one of the sticking by what they said was very very long. years that they still haven't been any proof of what it is that russia has done there's been nothing in writing nothing concrete that the americans have given russians and said

this is what he did and sergey lavrov said that the there will be no conversation serious conversation is grownups and until that happens might bump on the other hand saying that the united states is willing to improve relations with russia that the orders come from donald trump perhaps the more radical factions those that have trumpeted about collusion and meddling perhaps they'll be marginalized and sidelined so relations can finally improve. in all the headlines in the wake of the 1st woman to serve as the u.k.'s defense secretary probably more than scott a term of to a controversial start she's drawn the ire 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 solved british soldiers who break the law must face just like everyone else

these proposals potentially set a dangerous precedent human rights group isn't the only organization concerned about the proposal either particularly is pending world that wants to extend protections to troops who served in northern ireland with all the controversy part of a team in the u.k. . the new boss in here has proposed a new law one that would presume soldiers innocent of any offenses committed throughout the course of a broad 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 not about preventing someone who's committed a crime from facing justice this is about stopping and industries that surrounds these processes which is not about the pursuit of justice i have at 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 completed 7 tours nor all 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 and 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 is. back to every 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 that the fate of those detained by them remains unknown. of course some against an amnesty because of the systematic killing some of the blood they said since no one cares we have to demand our rides through international courts because we're just

simple people who just can't go by as selves to get our horses heard yani one article there is grave 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 year. for soldiers on the battlefield that's obviously really dangerous because obviously the back of the is one place that is not so very wonderful people civilians are and others who might not be arguing that it was human rights need to get those soldiers should have understood what they need to say just sr if you committed you or if we should you get punished if you haven't you don't so there shouldn't be any good amnesty or exemption for anyone anywhere couldn't find an easy way to say that we will now bring all of these veterans back into the war and it will be our intention from. 5 major tech giants have committed to combat in violent content online after

worldly desertions to do so at a summit in paris on wednesday 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 and violent extremism are complex societal problems that required all of society response for our part the commitments we are making today will further strengthen the partnership the government society and the technology industry must have to address this threats the tech firms including google microsoft have signed up to banning anyone who shares a violent or extremist content they've also pledged to follow up on material flagged as terrorist more probably 2 or new rules for live streams will be implemented as well they say in new zealand meantime 10 people now charged for sharing the video of the christ church massacre to remind you back in march a gunman killed $51.00 people into mosques there the video was uploaded some 1500000 times on facebook in the 24 hours that followed the lives story we

discussed who should shoulder responsibility them for removing bad content should it be the platform should have any uses with people previously activists build new media analyst lionel and rights attorney jennifer braden here 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 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 that a 1000000 copies were taken down effectively and we need to actually take a hats off to facebook the fact that it did take down so many different copy there would have been any number of different videos being all being shot 17 you slowly and i see 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 were filming atrocities in my am more they're doing genuine reports do you allow that if it appears to be atrocious attacks and therefore we actually have to be slightly more realistic than saying the technology could do it come on get you move get. there is 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 in 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 it 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 this is the weekly for most international live from moscow it's 90 minutes past the live moscow time right now is ahead a russian design of facing a decade in jail accused of smuggling manuals and relations between kind of the philippines literally trust. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy

confrontation let it be an arms race. theory dramatic to follow only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and. i am reluctant to give credit to the president trying for just about anything but by action in a way when he said at the beginning of his presidency that he'd be open to one state or a 2 state solution whatever these rising balloting is going to i think that was actually a smart thing to say a given the legacy of american support for israel the expansion essentially over the decades given the kind of political culture and political system that israel has developed there really isn't a way to negotiate something between palestinians and israelis.

and the russian embassy in washington alleges u.s. intelligence may have staged a provocation itself to a russian games design that was detained on suspicion of trying to export u.s. fighter jet money to faces up to 10 years in jail for smuggling arms documents and plotting against the u.s. government. so 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 of us 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 arsenal is a very strange situation i don't know why the united states would 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 here back in 2016 although he was none the wiser and after traveling to ourselves 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 where legwork 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 u.s.

is keeping a close eye on the situation surrounding the arrest of a 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. a feud between the philippines in

canada over waste disposal escalated with manila recalling its ambassador now and stuff this last wednesday after canada refused to take back 100 shipping containers of household waste it sent to the philippines way back in 2030. that recall shows that we are. very serious and asking them to get back they're going to be otherwise. severe relations with them this story said lots twists and turns gone by years it was later discovered the way to be mislabeled as containing recyclable plastic anyway in 2016 a court of the philippines ordered the canadian company to take the rubbish back but it continues to languish at the landfill site then last month the philippines president stepped in and 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 even if you want to back it 2017 the canadian prime minister said that he was ready to try to work on 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 analysts who spoke to manila says just in trudeau has failed therefore to make good on those earlier promises. for a very long time to fill in size being unfortunately the recipient of top seek ways including nuclear waste of time in the united states in software western allies so this case has been lingering for quite long time it canadian one of those however i was a summer of 0.4 for the philippines for if you're president you going to turkey because with no plans or just introduce here in the uk 2 years ago for the odyssey and saw me he promised that they were going to take back the price of garbage top 6 cars

was left here lingering it's a 1030 and you 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 philippine funk are part of the 1st get it is also good say that you know it's not only can they get spoiled is also whatever it was able to accept these back in 2013 in the philippines this is the greatest diplomatic crisis could get the president the new king to long term holidays philippines and canada. but don't strain to project a gas pipeline that's intended to pump russian gas to europe where the baltic sea passed a big milestone this week move 50 percent of the construction complete and we've brought the exclusive access 2 to one of the vessels laying busy the pipeline. there you have it what's probably going to be the longest spaghetti strength in the

world is making its way through the seawater and the cake is quite. a lot. so we're projecting from germany we're projecting the french were ok although the 1st and the numerous countries go out and make a pipeline here. to be honest if one of the fingers go to me we have probably all over the world political view shouldn't really remember the end of the deal if you will not supply or someone else will still work if you get. massive project is the place for she was warning us that we can just some of the

stories we brought out of the last 7 days you will see more check out our site dot com i'm kevin i would enjoy some. with more make this manufactured sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean real news real world. those who they are supporting cost but they have they don't care about me or they don't care about this the beneath you know libya. is about their own agendas. and so we might be

bugged here for a long time you can be really a civil war that continues for for a long time. over the years i've talked to you about the insects as a show of the economy where no humans are becoming like them call the of insects bees or dance and that's all enabled by this 5 year old surveillance pretty cool right. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the street. what happens to her family daughters in florida you know the mother daughter is very serious and terry is kneeling messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with
