isn't ruling out against a wrong following a u.s. drone being shot down in the strait of hormuz further escalation comes as a last ditch effort to save the iran nuclear deal. for the long 1000000 questions sent in q. and a lasting over 4 hours president vladimir putin his from the russian public. a raft of domestic and international challenges facing russia and its people. and the u.k. government suspends new. office of the court of appeals rules the previous. represents a significant victory for peace activists who say that is using british made

weapons to devastating effect in yemen. government protesters stormed the parliament building in the georgian capital tbilisi. it's 11 o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all the international live from our studio with me. welcome to the program. the u.s. president reacted angrily to iran's shooting of an american drone over the strait of hormuz on thursday saying to wrong has made a major miscalculation. well i made a big mistake. this drone was in international waters clearly we have it all documented it's documented scientifically not just words and it made

a very bad mistake. you'll find out and. you'll find out you'll find. obviously obviously you know we're not going to be talking too much about it you're going to find out they made a very big mistake. we've heard trump indicating that not only did iran make a mistake but also hinting that this could have been some kind of human error we have him saying i would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down now at this point we've got iranian officials saying that they intend to take this to the united nations to show that indeed this drone did violate their territory and the southern part of their country it violated their airspace and that it was not in international waters we have a reef the foreign minister of iran tweeting out will take that new aggression to the u.n. and show that the u.s. is lying about international waters he goes on to say the u.s.

wages economic terrorism on iran it has conducted covert action against us and now encroaches on our territory we do not seek war but will it sell us lee defend our skies land and waters now at this point we've got the u.n. secretary general antonio gutierrez saying that he's calling for all parties to exercise maximum restraint now many observers have noticed that it seems like the white house is policy toward iran has zigzagged and been rather inconsistent let's review some of what has been said from the trump white house toward the islamic republic of iran if american citizens who are facilities are threatened or attacked that there will be a very strong response taking all the appropriate actions both from a security perspective and well as. our ability to make sure that the president has a wide range of options in their mood that something should actually take place they should go and if they do we're open to talk to him we have no secrets and they

could be very very strong financially they have great potential now tensions between washington and tehran have been rising over the last few months we saw the united states sending a 1000 more troops to the middle east region citing a supposed threat from iran is the reason. we're asking leading their military presence we've also seen the united states blame iran for the attacks on the oil tankers that recently took place now we have iranian officials coming forward saying that they absolutely did not attack those oil tankers and that in fact it was iranian ships that rescued the sailors and was able to get them medical assistance and relief but at this point people are watching the situation to see what will happen next trump says there will be some kind of response did not indicate what it would be saying essentially wait and see and that iran made a mistake we got a ryan official saying that this drone did indeed violate their territory in their

airspace and that they intend to prove this at the international body the united nations so all eyes on this situation we've got eyes on washington seeing what might come next remember we've got our eyes on iran and their response we've got our eyes on the united nations to see how this plays out in the international arena many many questions about what could come next as this situation develops political commentator things washington has over reacted so far during this crisis with iran . well i don't see them going beyond that an all out war because i think the also our we're some kind of diplomatic 6 efforts to go without. losing 3 is by the sea on the other hand there really and always thought i was suffering great deal because economic sanctions are biting if the international. powers seem to be actually united in actually giving. the iranians

some kind of. a warning with an assurance. if you would be securely it would actually stop harassing this tank as we can perhaps i would with the american see what we can do what we must start. reducing your india and that's actually what the europeans not trying to do meanwhile europe has stepped up efforts to preserve the 2015 iranian nuclear deal the case france and germany are looking to unite in a diplomatic push to persuade iran not to pull out of the agreement well as lear has more. all this study is an effort by these european countries to try and salvage what they can in terms of the 2015 new kid deal that the united states withdrew from last year they're also stepping up efforts to try and de escalate the recent tensions that we've witnessed in the gulf region the japanese prime minister

was in the rain in capital recently for talks as was the german foreign minister and france has announced that it is sending a high level delegation one as they are committed to on the one hand trying to preserve the deal but on the other hand also trying to reach as the european leaders have said some kind of peaceful solution to prevent the situation in the gulf region from complete deescalating we want to unify all efforts so a process of deescalation starts there's still time and we hope all the actors will show more restraint there's still time but only little time before you'll be the most important mediator between the 2 is like. europe tried to do what we come to diffuse tensions open channels of communication to make sure doc snow and his completion is avoidance but the fact is that time is running out and one cannot discount the possibility of war breaking out. the rest and president has finished his mouth in q. and a with the general public after 4 hours for them input into questions on

various subjects including relations between the u.s. and iran. pressure for those who would like to say straight away that a military conflict between the u.s. and iran would be a disaster at least for the region it would be an outburst of violence with terrible consequences it's very hard to predict what would happen in the case of military force being used and the president didn't stop that as he then met with foreign and russian. interests who is almost like answering questions for hours here in this hole behind me was not enough for him but well one of the 1st things he was asked as he will showed up for a media conference was the 17 and the question was whether or not russia is ready to accept responsibility to bear the brunt of the blame for the tragedy that happened in 2014 well the question on this response came a day after the joint investigation team of the international dutch led

investigation presented their new report naming 4 suspects for the 1st time giving names and photographs of people they believe responsible for giving the order to down the malaysian boeing here's what vladimir putin had to say about that everything we've seen presented as evidence that russia is responsible for everything doesn't suit us we think it's insufficient evidence it doesn't say anything we've presented our version of the events but unfortunately no one wants to hear it until there is proper dialogue here we won't find any answers to the questions about the plane crash and the deaths of the people on board which remain open really people from all sides of the societal spectrum of view of the broad of the of russia have had a chance to ask their questions we've had questions from ordinary people from journalists from celebrities from bloggers from influences and while the focus was mostly on the internal affairs of russia which is quite expected something like russia's relation with the united states people couldn't help but mention it here's

how vladimir putin commented on the current state of relations between moscow and washington when these but if the. inside shows interest we are always ready for dialogue we see what is happening in us domestic politics. the president will always look back on the race he's in right now some in the american establishment are speculating about our country's relationship trying to find problems and it's. well when it comes to other instances other subjects it wasn't all that heavy hearted there were more like notes still with there were some jokes a bit of humor for instance there was a question as to whether or not vladimir putin was an alien to which he said no and that was one of the one of the final questions in that q. and a now this was one of the major one of the 3 major presidential level events here on par with pollutants address to the federal assembly and the annual also q. and a with journalists that happens late in the air so i mean we're still early in

this race and we're still there are still plenty of time and there will be plenty of opportunity to ask more questions to vladimir putin what i get from the president putin is a desire for the international system to function as it's supposed to a desire for dialogue primarily with his american partners as he calls them a dialogue for things to function according to rules of the world busy order as they've been established for a considerable period i also detect a slight disappointment that actually a lot of that is not happening precisely because of the attitude of his u.s. partners in washington who seem to prefer who seem to view agreements between contracting parties as matters of inconvenience to be abandoned as soon as another plan comes along and. instability in the global order as a result so i i detect a slight pessimism about the chances of this thing changing anytime soon certainly

on the basis of the current crises in the world which mostly seem to be being created by. unwillingness of these american partners to engage in dialogue. it's quite realistic to suppose that instability is the new stability. antigovernment protesters are attempting to storm the georgian parliament building in the country's capital tbilisi. and that's make it 5000 demonstrators a. patient at the russian delegation to parliamentary session fermenting orthodox christianity during the event one of the visiting to the chair of the speaker of the georgian parliament angering protesters children authorities of called on the demonstrators to refrain from illegal actions and to provide police to the area offices have reportedly been firing tear gas. i want to discuss this

joined by our correspondent. the pictures quite shocking actually that we've seen looks like we've mentioned 5000 really is filled with protests is a very angry and they we are following the situation live and i have various social media and from what they knew from the news that we have so far we have heard shots fired near the parliament building we have. gas be used against the protesters at the moment but let me just remind you it all began well began with the session. her parliamentary meeting from orthodox countries there are. delegates from the different nations there and one points to russian sat in the chair of the chairman off the ball and whether that was intentional or not we don't know what this point because this is what's going on. and he sold before the russian that you

get. to the. georgian capital for this assembly. there was news in the local media that this particular person took part in the war with the breakaway republic of points off. something that's the russian deputy denies he said this is fake news this had never had. this had never happened however that fell on deaf ears and the protesters. are still the members of the opposition are calling for the dismissal of the chairman of the of the parliament they're calling for dismissal of the minister who's already said by the way that he's ready to step down but that was about an hour ago now we see on the streets of georgia. has been used so the protests are becoming violence all the violence also. happened at the inception of this conflict when the

so-called radical members of the opposition threw water on the russians if he tried to take away the documents that he came to present with try to take it away from him they were shouting at him and insulting him telling him to go home but at this point said the russian delegation is out of the parliament building but the opposition. rally that we're seeing outside the georgian parliament at the moment still they are already calling for the dismissal of the government so there are definitely other motives here i don't think i don't know whether this points that they even remember thinking about the russian guy because right now they are talking about changing the entire government because of what happened whether they were angry at the fact that the russian a russian deputy was in fact inside the georgian parliament the opposition a certain anger about that remark let me remind you that there are no former

diplomatic relations between russia and georgia and the 2 countries are communicating the geneva platforms and this is certainly what happened today is certainly this is the same blade destabilizes situation for the russian georgian relations and we actually have the statements form the russian foreign ministry who blasted the process saying that the radical opposition in georgia had. exploited an important international forum aimed at uniting the orthodox nations of the world to unleash its anti russian sentiments these are the words of the russian foreign ministry so they're also following the situation very closely. we do know that the russian delegation had already let's parliaments where they are of this point i cannot tell you just will find out about their situation soon enough let me remind you that there are delegates from 20 other orthodox nations in georgia at the moment. we also you're also getting use that the

protesters are provoking special forces also georgia for conflict and has already said syria gas had been used and we media at the scene are saying that they heard shots fired i mean it's very tense we can see that. it seems to be seems have days stabilized the georgian government itself at the moment but we have yet to see what happens and how this department develops and whether it will calm down and sunny thank you rym on refactoring us an update. thank you. according to britain ruled on thursday that the u.k. government broke the law by authorizing weapon sales society arabia the judgement comes in response to a legal challenge challenge by peace campaigners who claim that the arms supply to riyadh have been used against civilians in yemen the british government has suspended export licenses but says it intends to appeal that decision with more on

the story is. a significant victory for the cooch of the field after u.k. arms sales to saudi arabia could be used in the war in yemen a move follows the quashing of previous decision by the high court back in 2017 but those sales would move for the court of appeal specifically the one element where it said you. were wrong in the war in a significant way and the judge went on to say that that's because the u.k. government made concluded assessment of whether the saudi that coalition had committed violations of international humanitarian law in yemen in the past and had made no attempts to do so this was the reaction following that judgment this goes to the very top of the conservative party we now made

a judicial review in the whole licensing system parliament has been shown to be totally broken we had 4 years to sort this out and the committee failed to meet the 2 years we now need a public inquiry on this matter the government should not waste time in appealing this judgement the government should fix our system all the sales to saudi arabia by the u.k. government significant amounting to around 4700000000 pounds since 2015 and the u.k. is the 2nd biggest exporter of all to riyadh the united states it. aircraft for an aids holmes and missiles well we've been speaking to cat 2 brought this case against the government and also to its solicitor who's told us that they will review now not just of the u.k. government arms deals but also on the seals to saudi arabia from other countries this has been a brutal condemnation of u.k.

foreign policy business been a very strong judgment against we want to see action from the government the court has done its job it's time for the government to do its job the decisions that took in relation to existing licenses and make the decisions they took to continue to grow on licenses those decisions are unlawful and they have to go back and reconsider well in regards to the war in yemen it's estimated that the death toll direct deaths attributed to the war is now closing in on the 100000 people while half of the country's 20 $2000000.00 strong population is said to be in food insecurity let's have a look now at the conflict of the last few years and the impact it's having on the crowds.

well in the coalmines following who decision we heard from the secretary of state for international trade liam fox who has said that the government will now review its licenses to sell all of this to saudi arabia but the u.k. secretary of trade did also decide to fend for previous decisions to award those arms contracts don't. about google the government has made the right or wrong decision about granting export licenses but it concerns the rationality of the process used to reach decisions as i said earlier we disagree with the judgment and the secret mission to appeal this judgement won't immediately stop the whole the export of sales to saudi arabia but it is a landmark case for cats it's

a big day and a big result and they say that they will continue the fight to stop any further sales to saudi arabia. u.s. government documents have raised questions about the f.b.i.'s conclusion that russia was behind. the democratic party service and 2016 the agency never received a final report from private security company crowd strike which was hired by the party to investigate the hack the report with the evidence for the pressure hacking investigation with more on the story his. faith is a remarkable thing it can move mountains if you believe something hard enough heart and soul it doesn't actually matter if it's real or not faith in god in family or in russian hackers russia also now after having hacked into the d.n.c. russia hacked into the pillar of our democracy russia is hacking and harry yes

currently she did not mention exactly that did occur nobody is debated that that did or did not happen it did happen faith no need for evidence proof friends exhort facts but as with every religion there are the tracks is because one of them is roger stone former advisor to the tribe now indicted for alleged with stamper and making false statements all related to wiki leaks as part of his defense he has requested evidence. that russia was behind the d.n.c. hacks of 2016 so the government gave them all they had a redacted draft report from a cyber security company it is clear that the government has relied on the assumptions made by a source outside of the us intelligence community that the russian state was involved in the hacking and that the data taken from the various servers were given

to wiki leaks the government does not have the evidence and it knew it did not have the evidence when it applied for these search warrants crowd strike the d.n.c. the cyber security contractors what is amazing is that the draft report was redacted by crowd strike itself they gave the f.b.i. a rough document with parts blacked out the government does not possess the information the defendant seeks and that's all they gave them neither the f.b.i. nor the government gordon unredacted version why for the security of the d.n.c. of course can't have the f.b.i. knowing everything at the time of the voluntary production counsel for the democratic national committee told the government that the returns of material concern steps taken to remediate the it's arkansas harden the d.n.c. and democratic congressional campaign committee systems against future return so

here's how it is a private security company that was hired by the d.n.c. writes a draft report never getting around to finishing the final one crosses out and read that a bunch of stuff because they're worried that letting the f.b.i. know things might for some unexplainable reason hurt their security and this is the chief evidence of russia's role in the hack of course dows has might ask why on earth a private security company was carrying out the investigation in the 1st place. why it wasn't the f.b.i. forensics folks would always prefer to get access to the original device or server that's involved so it's the it's the best evidence were you given access to do the forensics on those servers we were not we were a highly respected private company eventually got access and shared with us what they saw their remarkable faith really can move mountains transform

believes politics countries you don't need prophets and miracles all you need is a private cyber security company to blame russia the new democrat testament russia did it of course that will be doubtless and beulah may be one of those heretics you 26165 year you officers appear to have stolen thousands of emails and attachments which were later released by week or weeks in july 26th seen now odd hate to be accused of blasphemy but perhaps a little more investigating would be helpful alternatively russia did it so it is written blessid be the word of crowd strike men. ray mcgovern told us he believes the d.n.c. invented the russia hacking story as a distraction to the wiki leaks revelations. and there's no factual basis for the

russian hacky it to the d.n.c. computers and now we know that the f.b.i. went or went along with the very serious evidence evidence with no chain of custody evidence incompleted redacted the game was this so assume as the democrats realized that chillier signage had these messages they composed a cover story plants julian a signed release those e-mails went to the press the press was a willing a car pools and they said look the russian to the russians did it and so the headlines were not close in steele's nomination from sanders but rather the russians had waited the russians had white this attack the war it worked like a charm i call it that magnificent distraction. there facebook has once again facing accusations of stall for mistreatment article perth moderators claimed they were exposed to poor working conditions the revelations

were made by stahl from a face but contractor in florida court a cognisant has some of what they claim. we were bodies and see we were nothing to them at all they said facebook is basically shoving all of that graphic violence content to us that they didn't want to anymore so they had to move more people to cover it and that's all that we saw every single day at 1st it didn't bother me but after a while it started taking a toll i got to feel like a cloud of darkness over me i started being depressed i'm a very happy outgoing person and i was withdrawn mind when up it was hard to get through it every day. the contractor described having to go through as many as $200.00 graphic videos per day including for to of animal cruelty and extreme violence staff also claim they are forced to work and silently conditions and to tight controls with fights often breaking out between moderators another concern

they raise is a lack of paid sick leave at their offices with some allegedly forced to work while ill for fear of losing their jobs. facebook has already come under pressure to clamp down on its online content one incident in particular was the circulation of extremist content after $51.00 people were killed in the christchurch massacre in new zealand earlier this year both a social media giant and a contractor have vowed to introduce a series of changes including salary boost and health care for a start. well we're joined live now by social media lawyer cohen and bill me a pretty campaign and see of the cyber communications from crisis team dot co dot u.k. thank you both for coming on to the program now the revelations are indeed shocking and i'm sure you've both read them. as we said before dirty office environment.

all sorts of conditions that really disgusting actually if any of us found ourselves in that situation we would be deeply unhappy are you surprised bill by the revelations made by these moderators. i think the big problem here is that facebook is incredibly sophisticated in the way that it can pass text communication and it can interpret what we're doing with our posts see hidden meanings and interpret them in a very sophisticated manner it's actually quite sophisticated in the way it approaches voice communications and all the oh but when it comes to video it is incredibly difficult to do and they can't automate it they have to have people to do that sort of and given the nature of the continent it is going to be a particularly unpleasant job i have an enormous amount of sympathy for those are going to do it it doesn't mean that you have to make the working conditions poor as well.
