tensions in the persian gulf. war with the. president. to the 25th. u.s. withdrawal. from the united nations the u.k. . independent investigation into.

what if this was an actual real live. child pornography nobody would be even. more. top stories from the past 7 days down right up to the moment developments as well this is the weekly on your r.t. international our top story the iranian president said his country is open to. talks with its international partners but will not respond positively to hostility the tense of course. tensions flare in the persian gulf and fears of

conflict between the u.s. . why we welcome to go we do not negotiate with a party that behaves like a bully and takes a knife out of his pocket and forces and stone talks we do not hold such negotiations with anybody around their neighbors or spread instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east it's around and iran iran major destabilizing influence in the middle east spread death destruction and the leaders of iran are rocketeers the world's largest financier of international terrorism behind every problem is around and what we've been trying to do is to get iran to behave like good nation. big statement so let's get some boxer on the us has been waging what it calls a marksman pressure campaign against around since withdrawing from the just c.p.o. way nuclear deal last year has imposed crippling sanctions on the islamic republic earlier this month tehran responded by saying it would begin enriching uranium

higher levels on less the remaining signatories to the landmark accord take measures to shield that from u.s. penalties landscape in washington fresh impetus to claim iran is looking to develop nuclear weapons an allegation it has continually tonight with more on the escalating the spirits the neocons. seems now although hostilities have reached new heights the u.s. has issued a security alert all its non-emergency personnel in iraq asking them to immediately depart from the u.s. embassy in baghdad and from the consulate bill that's an order that relates to all non-emergency personnel now why the sudden panic well this security alert mentions no specific threats or reasons nevertheless though officials haven't explained these recent developments and how any sort of iranian threat would actually manifest itself to harm u.s. personnel tensions were wrapped up last week when the u.s. the poison aircraft carrier group complete with bombers to the region iran as the

squad all such moves are psychological warfare. stating that they're not looking for confrontation or war but they would respond to anything they viewed as u.s. aggression that some. view of echoed by washington as well now the root of all of these recent troubles this reason this collation was of course trumps withdraw from iran nuclear treaty that was criticized roundly by the other signatories party to that agreement it was followed by threats of sanctions saber rattling and rhetoric on all sides certainly things are not slowing down and concerns globally are growing of just how far things could be pushed to the brink and you see this type of hype you can't help it but you remember what the united states did when they wanted to attack iraq in 2003 come and go the. bogus intelligence. issues that that's really. something that should be taken seriously and the same

people john bolton. working work for the u.s. government that he is u.s. national security adviser. and he wrote an article in the march of 2015 calling for a military strike on iran iran is not interested in the military confrontation with the united states so when you look at the u.s. history you see force flag operations you see different types of initiatives when the u.s. wants to attack a country they come up with excuses so i hope we're not seeing a repeat of this. well the run very much in the headlines this week was also part of the broader discussion between the top diplomats of russia and the u.s. which took place number of days ago in the russian resort of sorts the russian president was also in attendance he urged tehran to stick to the 2015 nuclear deal despite the u.s. pulling out. american so wished me to go if i was at all sure

that americans have withdrawn from the iran nuclear deal so the deal is coming apart european countries can't do anything to save it and can't really cooperate with iran to compensate their economic losses but as soon as iran makes its 1st steps in responding and announces its withdrawal everyone will immediately forget that it was the us who initiated the collapse and everyone will end up blaming it all on iran 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 is in the shooing nuclear weapons the united states agreeing to disagree 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 or mouse and 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 agreement if both sides show willingness to do that nevertheless both sides have said that you know they will continue to work together on coming up with some sort of solution along with the other signatories of the iran iranian nuclear deal. and 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 the russians support form a girl will and democracy to she'll even use them of democracy can be imposed by force the threats coming both from u.s. officials and the opposition leader won quite. who is always reminding us of the possibility of military intervention have nothing to do with democracy. what booth

countries seem to agree on is that it's very well and that should decide what happens to their country they've managed to talk about all their differences and they've managed not to c.c.t. each other we disagree on this this is how the. 5 major internet giants have committed to come bobbing violent content online after world leaders are urged them to do so at a summit in paris on wednesday that meeting was convened in response to the recent terror attack in christchurch new zealand which was live streamed and then widely shared over facebook. terrorism and violent extremism a 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 on the technology industry must have to address this threat yeah the tech firms including as you see there google microsoft except for have signed up to ban anyone who shares violent or extremist content they've also pledged to

follow up on material flying does terrorist propaganda more promptly while new rules for live streams will be implemented. in new zealand 10 people have been charged so far for sharing the video of the christ church massacre a reminder in march this year a gunman killed $51.00 people in 2 months the video was uploaded around one and a half 1000000 times on facebook in the day that followed the live stream. and we discussed who should shoulder responsibility for removing extremist content platforms or users with privacy activists build new media analyst lionel and 1st let's hear from rights attorney jennifer britain. 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 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 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 in 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 similar to asli 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 there 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 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 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. the pentagon is said to have developed a secret weapon it's a missile with blades nicknamed the ninja bomb it's the son to be more accurate

dumb explosives and thus reduce civilian casualties in drone strikes kill up and told us more. drone warfare has long been part of the us government's war on terror and it's gotten ugly on more than one occasion. killing. drones basically sitting on a screen and eliminating people. dehumanizing them treating them. as if you know from some other planet north giving them a basic right of proving their innocence i mean that it violates norms of justice

on top of that it's all classified so leaking the methodology behind what human rights groups have called a method for extrajudicial executions can get you in a lot of trouble for daniel hale an n.s.a. officer and now suspected whistleblower that could mean up to 15 years in jail that echoes chelsea manning she's just recently been released from jail for refusing to testify before a grand jury but she could return soon as she's already got another subpoena now to be fair u.s. leaders have long talked about their deep conviction over civilian deaths the architecture of the legal or. around to the use of drone strikes or other committed strikes wasn't as precise as it should have been and there's no doubt that civilians were killed but shouldn't have but apparently it was u.s. president barack obama who ordered the creation of a new missile device that would increase the percentage in accuracy of these predator drone strikes and minimize civilian casualties it's apparently called the

ninja bomb now it may be the pentagon's worst kept secret they have not officially confirmed it but so far several military officials have said that it's being used it's argued that the new missile might enhance the image of the united states in the countries that are already subject to u.s. military drone strike operations unlike a regular missile it doesn't explode instead it deploys 6 blades that fan out of its casing moments before impact blades are so sharp they can cut through vehicles and slice their target into pieces so we've got blades flinging through the air in order to reduce civilian casualties sounds. as a bill enough apparently the new ninja bomb has already been used in iraq libya syria somalia and yemen so is this new missile the answer will it improve the image of the drone strike program in the eyes of the american public what do you think of the drone strike program. ok with it i know nothing about it it's pretty awful actually we have this thing now called the bomb right and what it is is it and when

it detonates it sends blades through the air and the idea is this will minimize civilian casualties we can pick the terrorist we want to kill send the ninja bomb and fewer civilians will be killed you know that the blades kill the. terrorists and not the civilians it doesn't seem like that you can target maybe specific people with that seems like you'll just. spread out a lot of. a lot of damage i think that's also did a pretty good program number limit civilian casualties are going to do not that's not happening i think if somebody suggested that that. i don't think that is even real i don't think it really. room reduces actually so i think this is the. greatest propaganda whatever you want to put it that way to make people look there's are kinder gentler way showing. through sas nation where.

you want their courage their viewer writes the kind of person you're talking about . actually you know possible and the notion of no assassination whether precise or generalized is so totally unacceptable what we have asked the pentagon to comment on the reports and let you know when we get a reply. a proposal to protect british soldiers accused of committing war crimes as i'm good leading human rights groups that's among our stories i head on the weekly from marty.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see if. those who don't are supporting cast and they have they don't care about the. libya . own agendas. and so we might be here for a long time to be really a civil war that continues for for a long time. just

approaching 1000 minutes into the hour welcome back they could tara funded broadcaster al jazeera has taken down a controversial online video which claimed the holocaust was quote different from the jews tell it the clip and question the number of jews who were slaughtered and accused israel of benefiting from the genocide. he will you turn to the. al-jazeera ses the video was removed because it violated the network's editorial standards the world jewish congress called the video horribly offensive the genocide is widely described as a human history's darkest chapter around $6000000.00 european jews were killed by the nazis during the 2nd world war victims were rounded up and sent to extermination camps to be tortured starved and face a gruesome death in the gas chambers. of dr a-frame 0 from the jewish human rights

organization the cmon vice until the center sees the storing the facts of the holocaust as a serious and pressing danger. this is a common currency in the arab world in the muslim world where we face a very serious problem of holocaust denial holocaust distortion very often with the support of government the authority of government funding of government so this is not at all surprising. please that it was taken off but i have to say these this these are the stock arguments of moslems who acknowledge that the holocaust even took place and has a certain level this is actually progress because in in many parts of the arab world they don't even admitted the holocaust took place but in any event is obviously a totally distorted picture of the events this is definitely a very serious danger and we see the very negative results already in certain

places today regarding the holocaust in eastern europe there's been a systematic attempt to distort the history of the holocaust so in other words in countries like the through way in latvia estonia ukraine croatia and others in poland where the locals played a very important role in the mass murder of jews they don't deny that the jews were murdered they simply deny that those responsible partially responsible had some had something to do with it and they try to claim that communist crimes were just as bad as nazi crimes which they weren't that they too were genocide which it wasn't and we're seeing this you know all over the world i mean this is this is a very serious problem. and living on the united nations is urging the u.k. not to grant amnesty to soldiers accused of historical battlefield offenses it comes in response to a proposal by the country's new defense secretary this week which would shield british soldiers from repeated investigations into possible war crimes dating back

more than 10 years penny mordant have also drawn the ire of rights groups. 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. to the controversy by saying she would like to extend the protections to troops who served in northern ireland as well another big topic with more on the story here is polly boyko. 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 devide 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 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 trawling through allegations of murder torture wrongdoing at a cost of $60000000.00 pounds to the taxpayer none of the claims resulted in a prosecution and in 2016 the unit was shot down speaker i competed $72.00 is not only 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 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 that the fate of those detained by them remains unknown. and of course some against an amnesty because of the systematic killing sin 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 those selves to get our voices heard. 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 european human rights or for soldiers of fighters on the battlefield that's obviously really dangerous because obviously the battle is one place where there's lots of very wonderful people civilians armed others who might not be after that whose 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 market amnesty or exemption for anyone anywhere the government couldn't find an easy way to say that we will now bring all of these veterans back into the court and this will be our intention from this. it's one of the deadliest conflicts in recent global history but why did it happen in the 1st place our documentary ukraine on fire explores and it's next. there's an 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 a vital issues. watch our special forum coverage on r.t.

. 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 what to one state or a 2 state solution whatever these rising dolphins going to agree on i think that was actually a smart thing to say given the legacy of american fulsome 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.

over the years i've talked to you about the insects troll is a show of the economy where we humans are becoming like call the of insects bees are. and that's all enabled by this 5 g. enabled surveillance pretty cool right. to do that. then if we're going to. do that what can i do with more about that.
