report claims paul working conditions the social media giant disclosure by a group of employees comes a year after one of its moderate since died at their workplace. always seem to up every single day. you see pain and suffering and for days in fact in my mind it just makes you angry. because you're not doing anything. good morning welcome you watching r.t. international where it's just gone 8 o'clock in moscow iran has the international community to stop washington's destabilizing actions in the persian gulf it comes after taran shot down an american military surveillance drone over the strategic strait of hormuz on thursday the u.s. president has spoken out on the incident saying the islamic republic has made
1:02 am
a major miscalculation. god made a big mistake and made a very bad mistake ok i didn't read it how i mean you'll find out and you maybe you'll find out you'll find. there are 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 well it is the 1st direct confrontation between the 2 countries amid the current tensions bush began when washington quit the 2015 nuclear deal with more his but. in terms of words he seems to have indicated it could have been a human error he pointed out that it could have been a general or some other official who made the mistake of ordering for the drone to be shot down i find it hard to believe it was intentional if you want to know the truth i think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid that did it our iran is said the drone did indeed enter their airspace and violate their
1:03 am
territory and that they intend to go to the united nations in order to prove this they say that it was in the southern part of their country that this drone entered their airspace and that they shot it down for violating their airspace at this point we've got the iranian foreign minister condemning the united states for what he calls economic terrorism the us wages economic terrorism on iran has conducted covert action against those and now encroaches on our territory we don't seek war but was jealous lead to fend off sky land and water as we take this new aggression to the u.n. and show you that the u.s. is lying about international waters now the u.n. secretary general antonio gets here is calling on all parties to remain calm and exercise restraint i strongly hope that. the situation will be contained because as i said and i repeat the world does not really need any measure of confrontation in the gulf now many observers have noted that it seems that the
1:04 am
white house is powerless in toward iran has been rather can see. system this is how the united states has approached iran during the trumpet ministration threaten their neighbors or spread instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare. major destabilizing in influence in the middle east spread death destruction and chaos the leaders of iran are record piers so as. death. and destruction behind every problem is and what we've been trying to do is to get the wrong to behave like a normal nation now the united states recently sent a 1000 new troops to the middle east region in response to a supposed threat from the islamic republic of iran now on june 13th when 2 oil tankers were attacked the united states blamed iran for the incident however iranian officials rejected those accusations outright and said that it was actually their ships that were on scene to rescue the sailors who had been hurt and take
1:05 am
them for medical assistance so at this point all eyes are on the middle east region all eyes are on the u.n. where international bodies will be hearing and taking up this issue and all eyes are on washington as a response from the united states could be very possible here's what iran needs to get ready for severe pain. inside their country if they're itching for a fight they're going to get what the provocation. the radiance is serious they're going to cause something to happen that could be very detrimental for this i can just tell you that shooting down aircraft international airspace is even demanded is an act of war it's a violation of international law and. there needs to be consequence for. the loft withdrawing from the nuclear deal the u.s. imposed sanctions on iran and then did this for countries that important soil and response iran remained on some of the deals commitments the tanker and driving incidents happened in one of the world's most important oil routes the straits of
1:06 am
hormuz soran has threatened to close it if sanctions prevent it from selling oil well it is the annual q. and a session the russian president warned the u.s. against any military conflict with iran. i'd like to say straight away that a military conflict between the us and iran but 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 all is you know as fate of accusations against iran have been unconvincing to the international community so busy i think the world has wised up and is a smarter now and is now going to adopt at face value their years wild allegations leveled iran gooding geisha and wiley round was all stating the story visit our japanese foreign ministry when an attack in japanese cargo ships anyone familiar
1:07 am
with iran's culture of hospitality alone would know that that's an impossibility and it's another false flag operation and that blaming iran and paving the way to an eventual war which hopefully will not happen and the international community will stand up to the us and its war mongering led by those hawks that have a clear record pushing for and this wars of choice instead of necessity. more than 70 people have been injured during a huge protest in the georgian capital tbilisi which the country's interior ministry has labeled a massive police used rubber bullets water cannons and tear gas against the crowds there who tried to storm the parliament they were outraged after a russian m.p. was allowed to address the hires a producer for our video agency wrote play along with a local journalist was injured you might find the following pictures disturbing. i was i was
1:08 am
i. was only i i i i i i i i. police deployed rubber bullets in tear gas i tried to film everything and suddenly when the tear gas was deployed i turned to get some air to be able to breathe and suddenly i felt a strong pain in the liver area it was a rubber bullet i touch the area and there was blood on my hand when a storm broke police did appear to be in full control of the city center but the opposition has announced a new round of protests tonight on thursday protests as attempts to storm the parliament building an estimated 5000 demonstrators rallied to oppose this is a patient of a russian delegation touring a session to promote orthodox christianity during the event one of the visiting
1:09 am
deference and sat in the speaker's chair for the angering protest is georgian authorities have called on the demonstrators to refrain from illegal acts several protest peacefully detained in the georgian president has accused russia of what happened she called the neighboring country an occupier and said the protests benefit nobody but the kremlin russia at the same time has condemned the actions of georgian officials during the protests in a statement the russian foreign ministry cues them of using the protest to so anti russian sentiment but among course that has more now on the events of the past 24 hours. sirrah gas and rubber bullets have been used against the protesters on the streets here right outside the parliament the country. the police riot police one the ones they use that to push the crowd back old began once a russian deputy not willingly but he sat in the place of the speaker of the
1:10 am
parliament and nobody paid any attention to that except for activists from the opposition and this is where it all began the opposition a radical position as we had seen they stormed the building they had sacked the russian delegation with the water they tried to take away their documents and basically shouting obscenities at them in russian and asking them to leave the country as soon as possible so there was more provocation even before the russian delegate came through this assembly for those countries. opposition is our opposition forces they claimed that he poured in a local conflict so without pausing at the time what it did happen and they are saying that he killed georgians all this the the russian delegates he said that this is absolutely fake news he had never taken part in any conflict like that but we spoke to
1:11 am
a form our acting president of georgia and you know you can she believes the government in tbilisi has been fermenting and she russian sentiment. they're rushing toward generalisations are really very difficult and sensitive issue for us aside and most of the population now receive the same message the russian m.p. in that year of 2 i.g.n. speaker is this something which is just creating a problem what stability of the country or something which is there just touching independence and sovereignty of that kind and it was easy to predict from the side of the government had absolutely unbelievable how i'm competent is the government and it's absolutely sure for me that the government did enough people the improvement of crushing georgian relations during the last few years so there was no any kind of positive in this the direction of political parties.
1:12 am
themselves the problem is that right now 2 years of these. hard to say sincere prognosis of people in their political goals and to just strengthen these 2 russian really exists in a serious part of the georgian population back to only one would be bleeding for the east and shouldn't be absent then be irresponsible. government and stability of this government. now facebook is under fire once again after a report by the verge through the spotlight on the way it treats staff it also details the death of one of facebook's moderators at his work station the revelations were made by staff from a facebook contractor in florida called cognizant disclose poor working conditions among other issues a word of warning you might find the following accounts disturbing. the mother was
1:13 am
dropping the baby on the ground then chopped the baby and you hear the baby gurgling and trying to breathe and for days in fact in my mind you always see the up every single day. you see pain and suffering. it just makes you angry. because you're not doing anything with the army of contractors working for facebook contains about 15000 employees the contract says describe having to work through as many as 200 graphic videos a day clothing food each of animal cruelty and extreme violence stuff also claim they are forced to work in unsanitary conditions under tight controls with fights often breaking out between moderators another concern raised was a lack of paid sick leave and some reportedly forced to work while ill for fear of losing their jobs facebook itself says it handles all challenges related to the
1:14 am
working environment there will inevitably be employee challenges or dissatisfactions the call our commitment to this work and our partners employees into question when the circumstances warrant action on the part of management we make sure it happens well facebook has already come under pressure to clamp down on what it allows online one incident in particular was of was the circulation of extremist content after $51.00 people were killed in the christchurch massacre in new zealand earlier this year meanwhile the social media giant and the contract to introduce changes including salary boost and health care for staff we've put the issue up for debate. i think i think fans will take the need to take more responsibility for their contractors' this is as much about the law around working conditions in a particular offices and around the responsibility that facebook takes for its supply chain the the issue here is actually treating them better giving them better
1:15 am
working conditions paying them more and and possibly keeping on top of the supply chain and making sure the cognisant aunt cutting corners and giving them enough budget to run it smoothly so that they don't have to cut corners in terms of freezing it is a matter for the internet company disgraceful phrase to. sufficient resources for the race but the other important thing is 2 first we need greater cooperation between social media companies so for example google may have a much better if usually intelligence to read the video contained because of its experience tribute to. the city and to share the technology we traced and the 2nd thing is to create greater transparency so to allow for an external body to go into facebook and all the. it's process in terms of moderation i don't think the technology is yet sophisticated enough to be the
1:16 am
solution quite yet and the moderators themselves can identify the type of content that needs action to be taken and action has been taken in some cases it hasn't been taken in all instances and we need to understand what the level of investment is where the things of things are pouring through the cracks whether that is the congress and then what it's reported to facebook what it's passed on to the authorities we need to have a password or a more effective means of doing this but we're not going to get away until the technology improves dramatically we're not going away from the need for human moderators the moderators need to be able to work very very and with great really great reels. so i see you do this is the scenario that would be to this month's much more. money. into the film of the recent protests facebook needs to be investing far more in the technology to assist some of these moderators
1:17 am
and you could pixelate out faces you can do certain measures to make it more pleasant for all the employees are having to do this moderation. international still ahead this hour the pentagon document shows the u.s. military believes a nuclear war is winnable but have a look at that story because of this take just after the break. you know world a big part of the 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 back 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 for watching closely watching the hawks.
1:18 am
manufactured. public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the final. week nor middle of the room. the u.s. military claims the use of nuclear weapons could create decisive results and restore strategic stability comes from a document recently published in public then became suddenly classified artie's
1:19 am
don't quarter except the story. bombers submarines and ballistic missiles the pentagon's triad of nuclear warfare usually atomic weapons are considered a means of deterrence but now classified documents suggest the war hawks in washington may have other ideas using nuclear weapons could create conditions for decisive results and the restoration of strategic stability specifically the use of a nuclear weapon will fundamentally change the scope of a battle and create conditions that affect how commanders will prevail in conflict the 60 page document came out in early june only to be classified a week later by the pentagon it's a surprise it wasn't a secret to begin with the fundamental principles underpinning washington's nuclear operations are laid out for the world to see and they don't exactly correspond to some of president donald trump's past talk of nonproliferation between russia and china and does. busy make. hundreds of millions of dollars worth busy of weapons
1:20 am
including nuclear which is ridiculous i think with that leader i think we're always going to be the leader we have to be the leader i think it's much better if we all got together and we didn't make these weapons so i think that's something that could be a phase 2 after this is done but then again trump himself hasn't been very consistent on nuclear posture either he called for talks with both the presidents of russia and china just last year to put an end to a so-called uncontrollable arms race several months later trump accused russia of developing missiles prohibited by the 1987 i.n.f. treaty although moscow denied violating the agreement signed to specifically prevent an arms race the u.s. withdrew the united states will therefore suspend its obligations under the n f treaty effective february 2nd and it's no secret the pentagon's long been on the anti russia bandwagon in 2018 its nuclear posture review accused russia of
1:21 am
producing more non-strategic and i n f banned weapons. but a recent article by the american federation of scientists about d.o.d. exaggerations pointed out something interesting that the nuclear posture review contradicts itself their own statistics indicate that russia had between 3 and 5000 nukes in 200-922-4000 in 20112000 are less than 2018 exaggerating the threat from russia only justify spending more money on weapons that can annihilate humanity and with the risk of nuclear war at a tie if since world war 2 there's no time for war games these seeming double standard is to present trump as someone who is reluctant to go to war despite his public statements. we need to look at is his actions and his actions are to pull back from any time restraint on the proliferation
1:22 am
of nuclear weapons the document i believe was a message unit was in fear not only to probe the current belligerent. rhetoric of the troubled ministration but as well to buttress is foreign policy which is aggressive aggressive in south america in the middle east aggressive in. asia. now the ecuador embassy in london spied on wiki leaks from managing a son during his refuge there after lennon rayno became president that's according to recordings of alleged extortionist spanish police have given the media the group consisted of spanish a spanish reporter and 2 computer experts who were trying to sell the footage of the sounds they say the embassy had microphones and the recorded material was
