in amman change of attitude american mainstream media now warn of the dangerous precedent being set by washington is intensifying pursuit of. us present triumph announces he's sending more troops to the middle east and. sales

to the region in order to keep iran in check. and the netflix show 13 reasons why about a teen who kills himself fresh outrage was quoted saying it should be pulled from the platform for romanticising suicide i guess weigh in. on the problem is that the kind of you know glamorized if they were kind of romanticized this idea behind it we have to give that you were false ability on this or put the onus on the parents i think parents have to be more involved in the wives of their children. it's 1 o'clock am most watching all to international line from last year with me today welcome to the program concern in the journalistic community is mounting after the u.s. filed 17 for the charges against you in an assault on thursday in what's being

described as an attack on media freedom and attacked a ration of war on journalists. and one who cares about press freedom and the ability of journalists to publish classified government information in the public interest should wholeheartedly condemn the charges against julian the sons the most dangerous aspect of this indictment full freedom of the press is that it would criminalize the encouragement of leaks of newsworthy classified information criminalize the acceptance of such information and criminalize publication of it that's criminalizing journalism so it's 17 new counts what american prosecutors are now stacking up against you in a songe is probably enough to put a whole basketball team behind bars as songe and we keep leagues have repeatedly sought and obtained and disseminated information that the us classified due to serious risk dragging big fat skeletons out of government clauses

once that was seen as top class journalism at its best those were the days remember the 971 pentagon papers release about the vietnam related ugly skeletons. i'm talking about exposing years of government secrets is that legal what is it you think we do here for a living those who dog all of it out or made to the secret info public were praised that was nowhere near the kind of media treatment mr saunders received the free process not responsible for the origins of any material that gets to us. unless of course we are responsible for it because we had something to do with how it was a live illegally obtained if someone's life was potentially at risk responsible media would not publish yes these are conversation hard conversations that are had

in newsrooms around the country and the world at the end of the day what would you say to those people who do claim that no. his activities did far more damage than good you are not allowed to help instruct you are not allowed to try to help somebody defeat security system even the most russian gating media people out there who would have all but destroyed weiqi leagues for getting the d.n.c. emails out are now feeling something's wrong with this new indictment this is to put it bluntly wrong unconstitutional and downright tyrannical is a pretty aggressive new move by the justice department the big deal here for a 1st amendment advocates the government is now trying to assert this brand new right to criminally prosecute people for publishing secret stuff and newspapers and magazines and investigative journalists and all sorts of different entities publish secret stuff all the time that is the bread and butter of what we do however for

all these years while julian a song had to hide in london's ecuadorian embassy and we all know why these folks pretty much kept on his fate dissolve the there were plenty of other real threats to american journalism i.e. the cornerstone of democracy like the president calling them bad things or cnn's jim acosta getting his white house pass revoked for causing trouble at a press conference this is a journalist who has spent his career doing what i think the great journalists do which is holding power to account i do think they're trying to to shut us down to some extent the reality is that this is could possibly be the new normal and that's what people are for that's not ok that's why the lawsuit is actually happening i think they're trying to send a message to our colleagues well if now finally the week at least founders fate was able to squeeze out a few 1st amendment tears on american news now it's probably too late

anyway. as long spent opinion and i guess it reacted to the latest twist in his tale. we're talking a lot about 1st amendment issues and 1st amendment rights and it is very important to look at that i mean we're looking at social media mass banning censorship of certain political party outputs certain media commentators the 1st amendment has come up a lot not just with twitter banning but with banning of other people and a lot of the people that are being banned are journalists are either freelance journalists or members of the media and some way the prosecution of fuel in the sand is part and parcel of trump's war on the free press full stop and i think the limited takers for that actually both i think the u.s. and here although the 1st amendment the reserve to be a news gathering and clearly where julian the songs go see united states of america assuming it goes that there would be a court case to the supreme court related to that but if you look at why bradley

manning released all they see information he was ultimately paul didn't by brock obama not because there's there's a process here what cannot be allowed to happen. a group of people in the military in the intelligence services. break the espionage laws i think it's a basic mark of respect to chelsea manning to get her name right and and give her due respect on that score in addition she was never part of the administration i wish she had been her sentence was commuted which means that her conviction her conviction stands which is something that she is still being appealed and i believe will go all the way up to the supreme court this could seem like a case where there could be some issues that he has to face and that he has to own up to but there also is the the facts that have come out that they haven't seen a lot of people who were who were either killed or damaged in the light of duty because of this so there have to look at actual damages and harm that this cause in the very extensive surveys the u.s. government did after the manning disclosures they could not find

a single person who had been harmed by this disclosure is the truth the monster was he has been afraid. making his case to a group of jewelry i'm courts actually properly constituted. i'm serious i think he needs to go to america and he needs to make his case in front of the american courts which may although he may not accept that he's a journalist but what you can't do is what he did when he ridiculed the united kingdom by hiding in the ecuadorian embassy i think it's going to be a fight but i think i think he can win it because what has happened with this superseding indictment it makes the issues absolutely crystal clear i think this is going to be a much bigger case than people imagine look at the end of the day i could scream and cry and insult others and just and just sit there and sob and baton being my feet like a baby in call conspiracy theory when i don't like something but there are facts there are laws and all of that is going to be assessed very soon. u.s.

secretary of state of mind pompei o has confirmed the approval of arms transfers to saudi arabia the united arab emirates and jordan totaling over $8000000000.00 as part of an effort to deter iran these sales will support our allies and hands middle east stability and help these nations to deter and defend themselves from the islamic republic of iran. in order to bypass congress and expedite the shipments an emergency was declared the transfer of arms will include a patriot missile to tie in intelligence assets and combat and the coniston the move comes hot on the heels of president trump's announcement on friday that additional u.s. troops will be sent to the middle east to maintain the status quo there only the day before though he sang a different tune. do you consider are sending troops to the middle east to go into iraq you know i don't think we'll need it but if we need it we'll have we'll be there in whatever number we need some very talented people are going to the middle

east right now and we'll see how i will see what. it will be about $1500.00 people earlier in the week and numerous senators expressed frustration about the current administration's bellicose rhetoric or worry very much not intentionally or unintentionally we heard them create a situation in which a war will take place a war busy that will go on and on and on and that's been our worry from the beginning that this is beyond escalation with the hope of good theory of yours who will come to the table and the best thing to happen is for everybody to calm down in iran to back off and i'm hoping that this show of force will result in deescalate you know escalate the iranian foreign minister has reacted to the u.s. troops saying it poses a threat to international peace political commentator. says washington should take

time out too much in life in iran's shoes. the u.s. is unfortunately going down a path of confrontation the trumpet ministration on the surface it has constantly repeated that it wants to negotiate with iran and trying saying that it wants to talk with the iranian leaders however in reality what we have been witnessing is that in the past 2 years the us administration is taking a very hostile act towards you want i mean for example the recent announcement of sending troops and the sending of a u.s. aircraft carrier towards iran if you look at it from the ukrainian perspective are seen very as as a very hostile act for example if we reverse the situation how would an american's feel if you're on started to send it back ships near the coast of florida and started to position so-called critic tekton troops in mexico i don't think they would like that and we have the same situation in iraq. shaming t.v.

show provided netflix is under fire for hosting content accused of romanticizing suicide the us parents television council has written to the platform demanding it justify hosting the series of 13 reasons why about a teenager who kills herself and that reports she was encouraging people to take their own life. settle in because i'm about to tell you the story of my life. more specifically why my life ended. and if you're listening to this tape you're one of the reasons why the council argues that the show should be axed in the interests of children's mental health and safety early activists started a petition also calling for it to be pulled however a 3rd season is poised for release the council points out that the 1st season reportedly helped drive a 26 percent increase in google searches for how to kill yourself and according to the us national institute of mental health since the show's release the teen

suicide rate spiked by over a quarter to netflix says it's examining the research and will address the issue we discuss the show's potential for harm with julia rivera editorial director for reactionary times dot com and mark rutherford a licensed psychotherapist. can a show inspire someone to commit suicide well yes and no maybe it would maybe it does but these are children that are probably obviously suffering. with a lot you know obviously they're very they're dealing with some personal issues in their life god knows if there's abuse you know sexual abuse bullying other kinds of issues you know and people are tying it to the program the problem is that they did kind of you know glamorized it they were kind of romanticized this idea behind it so even though the message was you know there is always help. it will get better turn to those who who you love. peace behind it was kind of you know kids when they

see these kind of things they don't have the frontal lobe isn't developed into their executive function and they can't understand this idea of the gets better what it is in that moment is what they feel it will always be and so i think there were there were a lot of kids that kind of ramped on to the to the energy of that you know i also we have to give the responsibility on this put the onus on the parents i think parents have to be more involved in the lives of their children they need to communicate more i think kids are growing up nowadays with a completely different set of pressures you know the suicide rate did go up after the show that piece of the damage was done because this kind of glamorous product was put out there there their parents are there in the show the guidance counselors are there in the show and no one's talking and which is the way it is in the real world when i see teenagers in my practice it takes 23 sometimes 456 sessions for them to really open up and tell me anything these are all things didn't have to be monitored better by parents any decisions that they make you know for netflix to

take this show down will be their own internal decision and it will be driven. by the market quite frankly i mean if people start boycotting netflix because they have this show on then at that point it will become a financial decision and then they'll probably. we were for that and i see a lot of teenagers in my practice and in the in the couple of weeks after that that showed dropped on netflix it was all every teenager that sat on my couch talked about and some of some of the teenagers hated it some of them loved it but what it did is that it sparked discussion and it wasn't about you know the guidance counselors or teachers telling them about what you know what they should think or what they should feel the teenagers were talking with each other and they were kind of talking i call it teen speak they were talking to each other at teenagers to teenagers about a subject matter that you know oftentimes is just kind of swept under the rug so in my opinion that was the biggest value of that show it generated a discussion yes it's

a slippery slope it could go either way but i think we have to also put faith in our teenagers you know their wanting to understand this as much as we as adults are . automated systems like syrian aleck's can be a problem for example when they fail to do is that old or misunderstand what you say but you know things they're a bigger problem than a lot the educational body of the u.n. in a new 550 page report is raising the sexes of a lot claiming that these robotic helpers promote gender stereotypes. and the subservience of digital voice assistance becomes especially concerning when these machines on through more farms this female basic knowledge accompanies you deflecting like last year or apologetically sponsons to verbal sexual harassment.

because of the speech of most voice assistance it sends a signal women are a lie cheat. and to please help. as a touch of a. we carried out research and found that a woman's voice is more sympathetic and better received. users prefer gender to human voice surveys on the topic have indicated that people often state a preference for gender neutral. have to be kidding me. i swear i've heard good time to respond to that praised. for 6 weeks with in a confused told i'm. not human beings just

a computer algorithm these people get a life. and cue the well spaced gentlest voice assistant think of me like syria or alexa but neither male nor female. i don't see that being a problem on the other side of the software and really think that best go on a bit too far i really do and the people that are thinking that that is sexist or that there's a statement against women i believe that they have just overstep overstepped

a bit we're not going to stop people problems by changing machines is not a machine problem it is a people problem it is internal we have bigger issues on this planet than whether or not the voice on the phone is is male or female. we're back in a couple of minutes after this break.

historically to accuse opponents used to claim that there are 3 issues. is too big and too refused to muslim the fact that we are too poor is no longer correct because our per capita perch is very is higher than some of the cura do you remember a country. welcome back to the program people have taken to the streets of tokyo to show their discontent at a 4 day visit by the u.s. president donald trump.

they carried banners and signs criticizing the president and calling for the removal of u.s. military bases from japan trump in the u.s. 1st lady will attend a state banquet given by the country's new empress naresh and later on saturday he's the 1st foreign leader to visit japan since the abdication of former empress of content in late april. and many more there is a so-called collateral damage and that includes trade was china in the u.s. have been at each other's throats economically for half a year now reports on those caught in the trade war crossfire. the trade war between china and the united states is not just affecting the 2 countries take for example the dominican republic. the head of the u.s. government's development finance institution recently called them out for allegedly being too friendly with beijing the aforementioned u.s. government official claims to interfere in the current stable development of the

bonds of friendship and cooperation between china and the dominican republic we object to this comment dominican officials have remained silent on the matter. canada is also at this point kneedeep in geopolitical tension recently canadian officials arrested the chief financial officer of wow a china's telecom giant 2 canadians are being held in china and charged with spying john bolton says that it is simply retaliation. china is punishing canada for opposing its treaty obligations in the rule of law the u.s. stands with canada in efforts to secure the release of its citizens unfairly detained in china but how does the usa stand with canada the prime minister is certainly not happy with the situation any time the world's 2 largest economies are engaged in what is increasingly look like an acrimonious trade war there are going

to be unintended consequences to the global economy and to other countries countries like canada. the u.s. secretary of state mike pale says that the philippines is being kicked around and that the usa is with them against those power hungry chinese our obligations are real the south china sea is certainly part of an important body of water for freedom of navigation i think the whole world understands that the trumpet ministration has made a true commitment to making sure that the seas remain open as the south china sea as part of the pacific and the armed attack on philippine forces aircraft or public vessels in the south china sea would trigger mutual defense obligations under article 4 of our mutual defense treaty the president guitar day doesn't seem to agree he actually visited beijing a month ago and now he describes a glowing relationship and there's a little water over the evening news is with. the

food is leading but it isn't even a. good. deal of the negativity very. recently italy has signed on with china's belton road initiative to build infrastructure across the developing world and the usa was not thrilled. italy's a major global economy and a great investment destination indorsing the initiative to china's spread reproached investment will bring no benefits to the italian people but italy disregarded u.s. concerns and went all the way in with the asian infrastructure investment bank as the clash between china and the united states gets bigger it's likely also get messier many international observers have got to be asking themselves how many other nations are going to get caught in the crossfire unfortunately most of these countries the middle part of smaller countries they have all become collateral

damage in this mismanagement of u.s. china relations and the us aggravated korean war they know that they are dependent on board markets countries like the philippines malaysia. indonesia vietnam are not going to pick sides i'm fearful that the u.s. at this point of time is using every avenue possible to place pressure on china the u.s. is going to be hurt china is going to be hurt. creech and which is one of the most dynamic economic regions they're all going to be hurt so they're really know we're nervous but. it's just it's just a question of who knows loses more. 10 years now jacqueline in view that will take over 30 minutes with more playable updates so they stay with us.

this in 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 and vital issues. watch our special forum coverage on r.t. . they were going to see that happen to you it was most feet with a militia overthrow the previous governments the needs of the former president and c.e.o. court which to 40 years the country people wanted much more and they didn't want

just the travel freely with europe they wanted for it to become part of. this is very far way to go still in ukraine. this is a story about what happens austria stray bullets kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family and daughters in florida you know the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery in meaning messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court b b b b. shot after shot as far as society we feel. we don't know childress from. the end of this trial

unfortunately you too will still not know childress. the more i tried to understand friend as well and the more i could see the signs of all solitary unism emerging on my continent as well. as a. lot. however what venezuela's critics. didn't dare do was compare human rights issues to those in other countries on the american continent. civil and political rights have been violated in venezuela. but they are violated every day in colombia and they are violated every day in mexico and they are violated every day in brazil.

what i call human rights. what i call selective integration. you show enormous in the nation with regard to one country. to keep quiet with regard to many other countries where the situation is many times worse. in brazil the police kill 14 people a day on average. the colombian army killed 10000 civilians between 20022010. that doesn't include hundreds of political activists assassinated every year by power ability groups tolerated or even supported by the authorities. even in the usa the police killed almost a 1000 people in 2018. politicians

in some of those countries have called for military intervention in venezuela to protect so they say its citizens. we have troops all over the world in places that are very very far away venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering and dying we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary. i'm always careful when we talk about south and central america and the cia there's a lot of stories. we are very hopeful that there could be a transition in venezuela as i was just down in mexico city and in bogota week before last talking about this very issue trying to help them understand the things they might do so that they can get a better outcome c.n.n. can now confirm the president trump asked a number of his top foreign policy advisers.
