made a very big mistake well it is the 1st direct confrontation between the 2 countries that made the current tensions which began when washington quit the 2015 you can you deal with all these kind of baqubah. 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 our iran is said that the drone did indeed enter their airspace and violate their 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 is will 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 needs any measure confrontation with russian president vladimir putin recently said that an attack on iran would be potentially disastrous which i'd 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 now many observers have noted that it seems that the white house is powerless in toward iran has been rather consistent this is how the

5:06 am
familiar 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 do you worse and this war mongering led by those hawks that out of a clear record are pushing for and this is the wars of choice instead of necessity . donald trump is placing america's military muscles in front of iran the pentagon document shows the u.s. military believes a nuclear war in the world is winnable could actually be a good thing we'll have a look at this in more detail a bit later this hour. the russian foreign ministry has accused the georgian radical opposition of using the visits of a russian delegation to mount protests $240.00 people have been injured including

5:10 am
a good deal of that country and it was easy to predict from the side of the government i had absolutely unbelievable how i'm competent is the government and it's absolutely sure clear 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 2 of political parties who are calling them that are themselves the pro western and that right now 2 years of these. are hard to say so you see a pretty nice a people in their political goals and to just strengthen these 2 russian really exist in a serious part of the oregon population to only one can be blamed for at least then you shouldn't be absent and be irresponsible this is the government and stability

of this government. facebook is under fire once again after a report by the technology website 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 cognizance who are paid to filter extreme images that appear on the site they disclosed the poor working conditions among other issues we were buddies and see we were nothing to them talk. they said facebook is basically shoving all of the 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 to king intel 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 mine daddy went up it was hard to

get through it every day the army of contractors working for facebook worldwide contains about 15000 employees contractors described having to work through as many as 200 graphic videos a day including footage of animal cruelty and extreme violence staff claim they are forced to work in unsanitary conditions suffering from bed back in fenced infestations they also faced bodily waste workstations on a regular basis as well as numerous verbal and physical fights another concern raised for sexual harassment cases facebook itself says it does handle all challenges related to the 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 facebook has already come under fire to clark

or pressure to to clamp down and what it allows online 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 meanwhile the social media giant on the contract to introduce changes including salary boosts and health care for stuff we put the issue for debate. i think i think fans will take a 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 day the issue here is actually treating them better giving them better working conditions paying them more and and possibly keeping on top of the supply chain and making sure the coldness and aren't cutting corners and giving them enough budget to run it smoothly so that they don't have to cut corners in terms of resources it is
5:14 am
a matter of all the internet companies this case frees. 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 with officially teligent straight to video contained because of its experience tribute. to share technology we trace groups and the 2nd thing is to create greater transparency to allow for an external body to go into facebook and all the. other it's process in terms of moderation i don't think the technology is yet sophisticated enough to be the 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
5:15 am
investment is where the things of things are pouring through the cracks whether that is the cognisant and what it's reported to facebook what it's passed on to the authorities we need to have a password or a more cracked of means of doing this but we're not going to get away until we're technology improves dramatically we're not going to go away from the need for human moderators the moderators need to be able to work very very and with great really great reels. so you do this is the scenario now would be 2. months much more. money. into the recent protests facebook needs to be investing far more in the technology to assist some of these moderators and you could pixelate out places you can do certain measures to make it more pleasant for the employees are having to do this moderation so to come this a police recording reveals the ecuadorian embassy was actually eavesdropping on

a reason to calling it civil disobedience a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny it's just a new way of coming to consensus it's a game changer in the human history and this is columbus discovering a new world this paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo 11 landing on to the max and stacey. welcome back now the u.s. military claims the use of nuclear weapons could create decisive results and restore strategic stability that comes from a document recently made public but was then classified as artist on quarter reports. 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
5:18 am
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 us we're all busy making. hundreds of millions of dollars worth of weapons including nuclear which is ridiculous and 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
5:19 am
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 1907 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 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
5:20 am
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 the document i believe was a message unit was in fear not only to probe the current belligerent rhetoric oh the troubled ministration but as well to buttress is foreign policy which is aggressive aggressive in south america aggressive in the middle east aggressive in asia. the russian presence annual

q. and a session this week collected over 2000000 questions from the general public that made putin then spent about 4 hours on trying more than 1000 questions of varying subjects to including international issues. it's better if the american side shows interest and we are always ready for dialogue or what we see what is happening to us domestic politics the president will always look back on the race he's in right now because of the some in the american establishment are speculating about our country's relationship with trying to find problems and telling lies if we. were going to use if we. went to paris and said he would not talk to the separatists representatives of these unrecognized republic how will they resolve this issue but modern history doesn't provide a single example of a conflict which was resolved without direct dialogue between the sides we need
5:22 am
political will to live. and we did everything we've seen presented as evidence that russia is responsible for everything doesn't suit us we think it is insufficient evidence it doesn't say anything we've presented our version of events but unfortunately no one wants to hear it until there is a 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 it this is a tragedy and we mourn its victims such tragedies are unacceptable. and if you'd like to see more on what he said there you can see the q. and a session in full on our social media pages. that could go embassy in london spied on wiki leaks front man julian the sun after lenin that i know became president that's according to police recordings of alleged extortionists who tried
