6:01 am
comes by a group of employees who filter extreme content to the site. always see every single day you see pain and suffering and for days in fact in my mind it just makes you angry. because they're not doing anything. for the welcome just gone 1 pm here in moscow you're watching asking international now iran has the international community to stop washington's destabilizing actions in the persian gulf that 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 a major miscalculation. well i made a big mistake and i made
6:02 am
a very bad mistake ok sorry i misunderstood and i think you'll find out and maybe you'll find out you'll find me arguing 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 that is the confrontation between the 2 countries amid the current tensions which began when washington quit the 2015 you can a deal more pain as more details. 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 is loose and stupid now iran has 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
6:03 am
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 endlessly 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 as 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 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.
6:04 am
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 united states has approached iran during the trumpet ministration threat their neighbors are spread instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare. major destabilize. influence in the middle east spread death destruction and we've been trying to do is to get the world to be like globalization. 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
6:05 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 that it would after throwing from the nuclear deal the u.s. imposed sanctions on iran and then did waivers for countries that imported oil in response around renee don't some of the deals commitments and drive in incidents happened in one of the world's most important oil routes the strait of hormuz has threatened to close it if sanctions prevented from selling oil the top iranian national security official ali sham company told us saran has never attacked anybody but is ready to repel any u.s. strike. all have rules. you can find our troops statements always different for example statements from yesterday and today he also contradicts white house
6:06 am
officials such political memories devoid of logic and common sense we do not take seriously his threats and contradictory statements but in the end it must be noted that the islamic republic of iran is not iraq or afghanistan we are a big state and have strong popular support both during the present but also past hardships the islamic republic has been standing firm and never attacked anyone and will not do that but if we are attacked the aggressor will regret it at the same time we strive for peace and security in our region of the policy of sanctions and the economic war launched by trump against the iranian people will not yield any results this is a hostile policy that will be defeated as a result. shows long with him. while donald trump is flexing america's military muscles in front of around the pentagon documents to show the u.s. military believes a nuclear war in the world is winnable and could actually be
6:07 am

6:10 am
e has been fermenting anti russian sentiment. rushing toward your relations are really very difficult and sensitive for you i guess aside and most of the population now receive the same message the russian m.p. in the chair of door again speaker is this something which is just creating a problem for what stability of the kind of 3 or something which is there just touching independence and sovereignty of that country 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 the government did enough people improvement operad origin relations during the last few you guessed so there was no any kind of positive in this the direction 2 of political parties. themselves the problem is that right and right now 2 years of these. are hard to
6:11 am
say sincere pretty nice of people in their political goals and to just strengthen these 2 russian really exist in the georgian population back to only one would be bleeding for the east and shouldn't be absent then be irresponsible. government and stability on this government. facebook is under fire once again after a report by the technology website the through the spotlight on the way it treats stuff it also details the death of one of facebook's moderators at his work station the revelations were made by staff from facebook contract in florida called cognizant who are paid to filter extreme images that appear on the sites they disclose poor working conditions among other issues would have warning you might find the following accounts disturbing. always see every single day.
6:12 am
you see pain and suffering and for days it in fact in my mind it just makes you angry. because you're not doing anything with the army of contractors working for facebook worldwide contains about 15000 employees the contractors described having to work through as many as 200 graphic videos a day including footage of animal cruelty and also extreme violence staff claim they are forced to work in unsanitary conditions from from bed bug infestations they also face bodily waste workstations on a regular basis as well as numerous verbal and physical fights another concern raised was 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
6:13 am
partners employees into question when the circumstances warrant action on the part of management we make sure it happens facebook has already come under pressure to clamp down on what it allows to go online one incident in particular was the circulation of extremist content after $51.00 people were killed in the christ church massacre in new zealand earlier this year meanwhile the social media giant in the contract vowed to introduce changes including salary boost and health care the stuff we put the issue for debate. i think i think facebook take 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 working conditions paying the more and and possibly keeping on top of the supply chain and making sure the cognisant aren't cutting corners and giving them enough
6:14 am
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 companies this case for free to. sufficient resources for the race but the other important thing is 1st we need greater cooperation between social media companies so for example google may have a much better if you shoot intelligence to read the video contained because of its experience reduced you. to share technology we trace groups and the 2nd thing is to create greater transparency so 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
6:15 am
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 think things are falling through the cracks whether that is the focus 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 to go away from the need for human moderators the moderators need to be able to work very. and with great really great reels. accuracy so i think that the solution now would be to 1st do this much much more. money. into the dome of 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 now of police recording
6:16 am
has revealed that the ecuadorian embassy in london embassy eavesdropping on t.v. in a songe will have a look at the details of that story just tough. you know world 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 bats and shouting past each other it's hard 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.
6:17 am
when we all make this manufactured consensus public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room signal. room the real news is. now the u.s. military claims that the use of nuclear weapons could create decisive results and restore strategic stability it comes from a document recently made public but was then classified on quarter as more.
6:18 am
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 we're all busy making. hundreds of millions of dollars worth busy of weapons including nuclear which is ridiculous i think with that leader i think
6:19 am
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 producing more non-strategic and i n f banned weapons. but
6:20 am
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 the 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 his will to buttress his foreign policy which is aggressive aggressive in south america aggressive in the middle
6:21 am
east aggressive in asia. now the russian president's annual q. and i say to collect over 2000000 questions from the public this week the general public i'm glad to meet putin then spent about 4 hours on soaring more than 80 questions on varying subjects including international issues. is if the american side shows interest we are always ready for dialogue or what we see what is happening in us domestic politics the president will always look back on the race he's in right now some of the american establishment are speculating about our country's relationship with trying to find problems and telling lies if you. will be sure we're going to use if we. went to paris and said he would not talk to the separatists representatives of these unrecognized republicans if you can how
6:22 am
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 political will. and we do 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 in the deaths of the people on board which remain open to this is a tragedy and we mourn its victims through such tragedies are unacceptable. to you the 1st time if you like him or what was said there you can see the q. and a session in full on our social media pages. i could or embassy in london spied on wiki leaks front man during the sancerre after lenin merino became
