day 7 days a week a time for the. international with me. these are our top stories of the week and the latest up to date news of the day welcome to the program the president of iran has the u.s. and its allies to avoid threats and hostile rhetoric hasan rouhani also called for crisis talks to resolve the ongoing standoff in the persian gulf. while we welcome to go see a show and we do not negotiate with a party that behaves like a bully and takes a knife out of his pocket and forces a stone talks we do not hold such negotiations with anybody threaten their neighbors or straight instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east it's a red car ran around made destabilizing influence in the middle east spread death destruction and the leaders of iran are racketeers the world's largest financier of
5:02 pm
international terrorism behind every problem is a red. bull trying to do is get the wrong like they should the us has been waging what it calls a maximum pressure campaign against iran since withdrawing from the 2015 u.k. day last year washington has imposed several rounds of sanctions and earlier this month tehran responded by saying it could scale up its uranium enrichment but more now on the dispute is daniel hawkins. it 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
5:03 pm
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 is the scribed all such moves are psychological warfare. stating that they're not looking for confrontation or war but they would respond to anything made viewed as u.s. aggression that some. view of that echoed by washington as well now the root of all of these recent troubles this reason this collation was of course trumps 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 the. bogus intelligence.
5:04 pm
issues that really is something that should be taken seriously and the same people john bolton. who work for the u.s. government that he is u.s. national security adviser now and he wrote an article in the 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. 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 here as turandot to stick to
5:05 pm
the 2015 nuclear 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 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 pursuing nuclear weapons the united states agreeing to disagree the united states will continue to apply pressure to the regime in tehran
5:06 pm
until its leadership is prepared to return to the ranks of responsible nations that do not threaten their neighbors or spread instability or terror 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. for majority will and the markets are silly and use them of democracy can be imposed by force the threats coming both from u.s.
5:07 pm
officials and the opposition leader. 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 to each other we disagree on this this is how we see it. 5 major internet giants have committed to combat in violent content online after world leaders 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 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
5:08 pm
google and microsoft have signed up to ban anyone who shares violent or extremist content they've also pledged to follow up on material flagged as terrorist propaganda more promptly while new rules for live streamed 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 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 discussed who should shoulder responsibility for removing extremist content platforms or use it with privacy activists build new media analyst lionel and rights attorney jennifer pretend. 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
5:09 pm
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
5:10 pm
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 it 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 so it will tell you slowly 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 are 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
5:11 pm
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. the pentagon is said to have developed
5:12 pm
a secret weapon it's a missile with blades nicknamed the ninja bomb is designed to be more accurate than explosives and thus reduce it in kushal to use a drone strikes kind of open to 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. killing people by. 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 but. norms of justice
5:13 pm
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 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
5:14 pm
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. ok with it 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 send the ninja bomb and fewer civilians will be killed
5:15 pm
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 are going to do not that's not happening i think if somebody suggested that. i don't think that is even real i don't think it really busy. will reduce actually so i think this is a. pretty sick propaganda whatever you want to put it that way to make people look there is a kinder gentler way of killing people want to buy this through sas a nation which is very rational. you want a declaration of human rights a kind of person you're talking about. actually you know also and the notion of
5:16 pm
assassination whether precise or generalized is so totally unacceptable if i asked the pentagon to comment on the reports on we'll let you know when we get a reply. tensions have been flooded between the philippines and canada over a nod to find garbage disposal to allow the story animal still ahead on the weekly .
5:17 pm
those who they are supporting craft and they have they don't care about the beer they don't kill or the stability of libya the only thing the cure is about your own agendas. and so we might be bugged here for a long time to be really a civil war that continues for for a long time. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back to the program the united nations as in 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 see
5:18 pm
british personnel shielded from repeated investigations into possible war crimes dating back more than 10 years many more dense plans have also been condemned by write scripts. 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. and mordant 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 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
5:19 pm
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 had at the iraq historic allegations team spent 7 years trawling 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
5:20 pm
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 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
5:21 pm
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 and 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 because 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 who are 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 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
5:22 pm
you don't so there shouldn't be a blanket 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 the. a feud between the philippines and canada over waste disposal has escalated with calling its ambassador and stuff on wednesday after kind of to refuse to take back 100 shipping containers of waste it sent to the philippines back in 2013 that the recall shows that we are. very serious. asking them to get back their otherwise. severe relationships with them it was later discovered the waste had been mislabeled as containing recyclable plastic in 2016 a court in the philippines order the canadian company to take the rubbish back but
5:23 pm
it continues to languish at a landfill site last month the outspoken filipino president gave that kind of 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 them 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 eat it 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. and while a foreign affairs analyst we spoke to in manila says justin trudeau has failed to make good on those promises. of very long time to the insiders being unfortunately the recipient of top seek ways including nuclear waste all from the united states and software western allies so this issue has been lingering for quite long time canadian waddles however
5:24 pm
a sour point for for the philippines for your president to go to target because with no plan these are just introduce us here in the last 2 years ago for the audience saw me promise that they're going to take back the trash all the garbage garbage that was left here a lingering sister 1032 year scheme does not have been any comedian going to say that this was a private deal between the canadian company and its filipino fans are part of the 1st get it is also good say that you know it's not only the canadian it's all these also whoever it was able to accept these back in 2013 in the philippines this is the group this diplomatic crisis could get the president to long term holidays philippines or canada. in the stream to pipeline project which is intended to pump russian gas to europe by way of the baltic sea past an important milestone this week is now 50 percent completed aunties and uncles can exclusive access to one of the festivals laying the pipeline.

football not the or else you can think i was going to go. by the way ways of that sliding here. in the lakes isn't she forms part of a high altitude nature reserve. it's one of the famous chito room internees years principle which a way starts its journey. but if you can be summed up at the top to bottom i've got to be an ox. it runs 300 kilometers from source to mouth and there are over $200.00 industrial facilities range limits bangs. i'm out on your muscle. to do 3 things. i saw myself with them and getting in. the chichen

room here again screw the 4000 rice fields and supplies drinking water to 25000000 people. that come in for yes or so made by so many of us about us a member of our people. you know world of big partisan. movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.
5:29 pm
there's. max one thing we learned on our journey from the genesis block to the moon is that 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 where this service and decline the system adapts it grows and becomes more resilient so we use the honey badger as an analogy because even though
5:30 pm
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 far because he showed to be a pretty good pretty good on you badger he resisted to any kind of attempt to take it over and change it 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 andreas antonopoulos a great speaker in the space as a great singer saying that because it is the sewer.
