and. as tensions in the persian gulf continue to build iran says it has no interest in going to war with the u.s. and its allies while president putin says he has been urging iran to stick to the trends of 15 you from the despite the west's withdrawing from it. and the world's biggest tech companies unveil new rules to crack down on the fine and content criticism of the handling of the christ church mosque attacks. but if this was an actual real live stream of child pornography nobody would be even debating this i would say you've got to fix this technology it's a very very. old border collie movies videos all.

4 hours a day 7 days a week at a time called the. international with meaning to me to death these are all top stories of the week on the latest up to date news of the day welcome to the program the iranian president has said his country is open to holding crisis talks with its international partners but will not respond positively to hostility and attempts at coercion hasan rouhani is comments come as tensions flare in the persian gulf and fears of conflict between iran and the u.s. growth. why are we welcome to go see a shrink because we do not negotiate with a party that behaves like a bully and takes a knife out of his pocket and forces and strong talks we do not hold such negotiations with anybody. ability everywhere we go in the middle east to.

meet. with the spread destruction and the leaders of our record here the world's largest financier of international terrorism behind every problem is around. the. world like. the us has been waging what it calls a maximum pressure campaign against iran since withdrawing from the j c p o a nuclear deal last year and has imposed crippling sanctions on the islamic republic earlier this month terror on responded by saying it would be enriching uranium at high levels and that's the remaining signatories to the landmark court take measures to shield it from u.s. penalties given washington fresh impetus to claim everyone is looking to develop nuclear weapons an allegation it's always denied with more now on the escalating to speak his. 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 why the sudden panic well this security alert mentions no specific threats or reasons nevertheless though officials haven't explained these recent developments somehow any sort of arabian threat would actually manifest itself to harm u.s. personnel tensions were wrapped up last week when the u.s. the poit an aircraft carrier group complete with bombers to the region iran has described all such moves as psychological warfare. stating that they're not looking for confrontation or war but they would. respond to anything may viewed as u.s. aggression that some. of you rather echoed by washington as well now the root of all of these recent troubles this recent escalation was of course troops withdrawal 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 hype you can't help it but you remember what the united states did men they wanted to attack iraq in 2003 coming up that bogus intelligence. issues that really. something that should be taken seriously the same people john bolton used to be working used to work for the u.s. government at that time heals u.s. national security adviser now and he wrote an article in march of 2015 calling for a military strike on iran iran is not interested in a military confrontation with the united states so when you look at the u.s. history you see false 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 are not seeing a repeat of this. part of the broader discussion between the top diplomats of russia and the last wish to place this week in the russian resort of thought change the russian president was also in attendance here to toronto stick to the 25th deal despite the u.s. pulling out. i mean again so wish me to go a little 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 and 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 you may have many disagreements on iran now but the fact is 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 nuclear deal. 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 the russians support. form a durable will and democracy to steal a new system of democracy can be imposed by full speed with the threats coming both from u.s. officials and the opposition leader won quite. it was 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 to succeed to each other we disagree on this this is how we see. 5 major internet giants have committed to combat violent content online after 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 her facebook. terrorism and violent extremism are complex or side to 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 these threats 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 flankers 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 christ church massacre or mind in march this year a gunman killed $51.00 people into the mosques the video was uploaded around one and a half 1000000 times on facebook in the day that follow the live stream. we discussed

who should to shoulder responsibility for removing extremist content platforms or use it with privacy activists bill new media analyst lionel and rights attorney jennifer brandt and. and 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 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 tenuously and i say 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 miami 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 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 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

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. and it's going to set to have developed a secret weapon that's a missile with plates nicknamed the ninja bomb is designed to be more accurate than explosives and that's right you said that in casualties in drone strikes. he tells . 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.

killing people by these drones basically sitting on a screen and eliminating people. dehumanizing them. as if you know from some other planet north giving them a basic right of proving their innocence i mean it but. 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 now to be fair u.s. leaders have long talked about their deep conviction over civilian deaths the architecture of the legal texture 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 plausible 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. because . so that i know nothing about it it's pretty awful actually we have this thing now called a 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 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 them limit civilian casualties you're going to do not 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. will reduce actually so i think this is

a. very sickly propaganda whatever you want to put it that way to make people feel that there is a kinder gentler way of killing people want to. throw assassination which. you my declaration of human rights are kind of perception that they're talking about. this is social you know possible and the notion of no assassination whether precise or generalized is so totally unacceptable if i asked the pentagon to comment on the reports and we'll let you know when we get a reply that tensions have fled to between the philippines and canada of a defunct garbage disposal deal that story animal still had on the weekly.

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sport i'm sure i'll see you then. 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 work one show you know a 2 state solution whatever these rising balloting is going to agree on i think that was actually a smart thing to say 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.

welcome back to the program united nations is 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 see bush's service personnel from repeated investigations into possible war crimes dating back more than 10 years. plans have also been condemned by. 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 set a dangerous precedent. any more than 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 party by. 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 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 just because 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 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 that 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 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 soft 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 to the soldiers of the battlefield that's obviously really dangerous because obviously the battle is one place that 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 resolutions you get punished if you haven't you don't so there shouldn't be an honesty 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 the. a feud between the philippines and canada over waste disposal has escalated with manila recalling its ambassador and staff on wednesday after canada refused to take back a 100 shipping containers of household waste it sent to the philippines back in 2013

. that recall shows that we are. very serious. asking them to get back their otherwise. severe relationships with them. it was later discovered that the waste had been mislabeled as containing we cyclable plastic in 2016 a court in the philippines ordered the canadian company to take the rubbish back but it continues to languish at a landfill site last month the outspoken filipino president gave canada a stark warning after more than a year of waiting for the canadian prime minister to get things moving. will declare war against canada we can take you down i'll return the trash just wait and see i will advise canada that your garbage is on the way prepare a ground reception even if you want to it is 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 however a foreign affairs analyst we spoke to in manila says justin trudeau has failed to make good on those promises. for a very long time to fill in size. unfortunately the recipient of tall seek ways including nuclear waste all from the united states and software western allies so this issue has been lingering for quite long time between 80 and one of those however i was a summer point for for dissoluteness for if you're president you go to target because with no plans or just introduce us here in 2 years you go for the odyssey and saw me you promise that they're going to take back the trash all the garbage top see the cars that was left here lingering sister 1030 and it to your scheme does not have been any comedian going to say that this was a private deal between a canadian company and it filippi that on their part of the 1st get it is also good say that you know it's not only because they get spoiled he's also whoever it was
