the middle east it's around our ran around and made destabilizing influence in the middle east spread destruction and chaos the leaders of iran are racketeers the world's largest financier of international terrorism behind every problem is around and we've been trying to do is to get iran to behave like a nation. the us has been waging what it calls a maximum pressure campaign against iran since withdrawing from the j c p a nuclear deal last year and has imposed crippling sanctions on the islamic republic earlier this month terror on responded by saying it would begin in witching uranium at higher levels unless the remaining signatories to the landmark accord take measures to shield it from u.s. penalties given washington a fresh impetus to claim iran is looking to develop nuclear weapons an allegation it has always denied with more now on the escalating dispute his daniel hawkins. it
1:03 pm
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. deployed an aircraft carrier group complete with bombers to the region iran has described 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 other echoed by washington as well now the root of all of these recent troubles this reason this collation was of course trumps withdraw
1:04 pm
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 can be pushed to the brink and you see this type of high 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 the military strike on iran iran is not interested in the military confrontation with the united states so when you look at the u.s.
1:05 pm
history you see false flag operations you see different types of initiatives when the u.s. wants that type of country they come up with excuses so i hope we're not seeing a repeat of this. iran was part of the broader discussion between the top diplomats of russia and the us which took place this week in the russian resort of sochi the russian president was also in attendance and here to rant to stick to the 2015 year deal despite the u.s. pulling out. american so wish 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
1:06 pm
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 agreements 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 use you and use them a democracy can be imposed by force the threats coming both from u.s. officials and the opposition leader one 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 easy whelan's that should decide what happens to their country they've managed to talk about all their differences and they've managed to succeed teach other we disagree on this this is how we see it. 5 major internet giants have committed to combat in violent content online after
1:08 pm
world leaders 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 in new zealand which was live streamed and then widely shared of a facebook. terrorism and violent extremism are complex or sides of 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 threat the tech firms including google and microsoft have signed up to ban anyone who shares violent or extremist content they've also pledged to follow up on material flight as 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 christchurch massacre a reminder in march this year a gunman killed $51.00 people in 2 mosques the video was uploaded around one and a half 1000000 times on facebook in the day that followed the live stream. we
1:09 pm
discussed who should to shoulder responsibility for removing extremist content platforms or users with privacy activists bill new media analyst lionel and rights attorney jennifer braden. 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
1:10 pm
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 facebook 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 similar to a new slate and i say 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 were filming atrocities in my i am more
1:11 pm
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 in the moment something that is violent that is agree just that it's 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 of 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
1:12 pm
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 pot is going to set to have developed a secret of weapon it's a missile with blades nicknamed the ninja bomb is designed to be more accurate than explosives and thus reduce civilian casualties and drone strikes. as the details. drone warfare has long been part of the u.s. government's war on terror and it's gotten ugly on more than one occasion.
1:13 pm
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 it's one 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
1:14 pm
architecture of the legal texture around 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 been 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
1:15 pm
order to reduce civilian casualties sounds plausible. anough 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 so in 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 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 you're going to do not
1:16 pm
that's not happening i think if somebody suggested that that. i had i don't think that is even real i don't think it really busy. room reduces who actually is i think this is a. propaganda whatever you want to call it that way to make people look there's a kinder gentler way of killing people want to. throw assassination which. you might declare if you are right kind of person they're talking about. this essentially you know possible and the notion of a sort of summation whether precise or generalized is so totally unacceptable without the pentagon to comment on the reports and then let you know when we get a reply. a proposal to protect british soldiers accused of committing war crimes has angered any leading human rights groups and i also always had one week.
1:17 pm
you know world big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. and those who they are supporting craft and they have they don't care about the mayor they don't care what 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
1:18 pm
a civil war that continues for for a long time. back to the profound the qatar funded broadcaster al jazeera says it's taken disciplinary action against 2 journalists of a video claiming the story of the holocaust was quote different to how the jews tell it the controversial clip which was posted online question the number of jews who were slaughtered and accused israel of benefiting from the genocide sit down with the party who are now aiding there's a year if you will you turn to the next. well you could literally have. al jazeera says the video was removed because it violated the network's editorial
1:19 pm
standards the world jewish congress called the video horribly offensive the genocide is widely described as 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. dr efraim zuroff from the jewish human rights organization the simon wiesenthal center says distorting the facts of the holocaust is a serious and pressing danger. this is 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
1:20 pm
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 this 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 the latvia estonia ukraine croatia and others 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 suddenly had something to do with it and they tried to claim that communist crimes were just as bad as nazi crimes which they were that they too were genocide which it wasn't
1:21 pm
and we're seeing this you know all over the world i mean this is this is a very serious. united nations and the u.k. not to grant amnesty to soldiers accused of historical battlefield offenses it comes in response to a proposal outlined by the country's defense secretary this week which would seem. from repeated investigations into possible war crimes dating back more than 10 years penny morton's plans have also been condemned by science. 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 it just like everyone else these proposals potentially set a dangerous precedent. and a lot of added to the controversy by saying she would like to extend the protections to troops who served in northern ireland as well with more on the story his polyploid. the new boss in here has proposed a new law one that would presume soldiers innocent of any offenses committed
1:22 pm
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 not about preventing someone who's committed a crime from facing justice this is about stopping 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
1:23 pm
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 72 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 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
1:24 pm
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 to them. 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 sobs to get our voices heard on the 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 here. for soldiers on the battlefield that's obviously really
1:25 pm
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 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 a blanket 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 court and this will be our intention from this if you're watching the weekly here on our to international i'll be back with more world updates around 30 minutes time so stay with us.
1:26 pm
it. is up to us to see on his attorney for you to get help or anyone who knows a little. bit more which of. those i mean will you take him. just to know people you see post notes with me to see what's good. that's the time to get. this finished if you give. me.
1:27 pm
all the years i've talked to you about the insects troll is a show of the economy and world humans are becoming like the call the of insects. and that's all enabled by this 5 g. enabled surveillance pretty cool right. max one thing we learn on our journey from the genesis block to the moon is that
1:28 pm
honey badger don't care and 2014 is definitely a year from honey badger not to care honey badger don't care is the meme of the best describes the antifragile nature of bitcoin unlike for example a banking system that is fragile whenever you have volatility shock stress or any kind of impact or disturbance and because the system adapts it grows and becomes more resilient so we use the honey badger as an analogy because even though he might be small and might look at offensive you get back a lion that attack a honey badger and he's not going to care they're not going to be able to do anything he's too strong so it's kind of like a bit conspiratorial since it cannot be stopped and you cannot be change significantly about any single party so basically even if some kind of a user or a union wants something different even if some regolith or one something different even if a city sees one something different from it going because he doesn't care and so
1:29 pm
far because he showed to be a pretty good who pretty good on the badger he resisted to any kind of attempt to take it over and changed fundamentally you can just keep attacking and attacking and attacking and it will not care and in fact it thrives when you attack it be quaint as a grown up on the internet you know andrea sentinel plus a great speaker in the space as a great saying you know saying that because it is the sewer rat because between is born on the internet and has been attacked 247 every single 2nd of every single day for the past. 10 years and it is still here which is a testament to both the original code that's a toshi put in there and the community that continues to shepherd the continues to to take out things like 0 days to fix exploits do anything that needs to be to fix anything needs to be fixed so that the rest of the world can continue transacting with this so honey badger doesn't care it to me just means that the power of the centralization of decorum and the fact that nobody controls it.
1:30 pm
remember we ended 2013 with the us government being one of the largest holders a big coin in the world thanks to their seizure of ross all brakes and silk roads coin it ends up being over 50000 between that they then auction off in 2014 but january 2014 we start the year with a friend of kaiser report january 26th 2014 instant c.e.o. charged with money laundering charlie shrem c.e.o. of bit instant is arrested over allegations of money laundering in connection with silk road he is arrested at j.f.k. airport for charges filed and in manhattan federal court right i remember meeting charlie outside of the office of bit instant near silicon alley in new york city meeting with roger bear as well who was very active in the space and a friend of ours matthew mellon was also active in the space and an investor in bit instant and he was very excited about this didn't.
