absurd really harsh things that happened tonight. you'll find out. what you'll find out you'll find that. tensions mount in the persian gulf as donald trump considers a response to around the downing of an american military drone there on said it had violated a really interesting races which washington did not. the speaker of the georgian parliament resigned after a massive protest in the country's capital pumped out have accused the country's opposition of using a visit by a russian delegation to spark the protest $240.00 people including 80 policemen were injured in the closet. and facebook is under the spotlight again as the report

claims for working conditions at the social media giant the disclosure comes by a group of employees who filter extreme content from the time. for what you see every single day you see pain and suffering and for days it's in fact in my mind and it just makes you angry. because you're not doing anything. very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teaching and moscow thanks for joining us this hour. iran has urged the international community to stop washington's destabilizing actions in the persian gulf it comes after tehran 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.

miscalculation. i made a big mistake and they made a very bad mistake ok i'm going to know how i think you'll find out and maybe you'll find out you'll find me i believe you 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 it is the 1st direct confrontation between the 2 countries amid the current tensions which began when washington quit the 2015 nuclear deal held up and reports. 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 waters 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 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 needs any measure of confrontation in the 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 and toward iran has been rather consistent this is how the united states has approached iran during the trumpet ministration of their neighbors or 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 able 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 were checked at 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 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 after withdrawing from the nuclear deal the u.s. imposed sanctions on iran and it wavers for countries that import oil in response iran reneged on some of the deal commitments the tanker and drone incidents happened in one of the world's most important oil routes the strait of hormuz iran has threatened to close it if sanctions prevent it from selling its oil. a top iranian national security official only a sham connett told us iran has never attacked anyone but is ready to repel any u.s. strike. or have whose. you can find out from statements always different for example statements from yesterday and today he also contradicts white house

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 pasta on ships the islamic republic has been standing firm and never attacked anyone and will not do that if we are attacked the aggressor regrets it at the same time we strive for peace and security in our region that is the policy of sanctions and the economic war against the iranian people will not yield and the results this is a hostile policy that will be defeated as a result. well donald trump is flexing america's military muscles and front of iran a pentagon document shows the u.s. military believes a nuclear war in the world is winnable and could be a good thing more on that later in the program.

the speaker of the georgian parliament has resigned after massive protests in the capital the russian foreign ministry has accused the georgian radical opposition of using the visit of a russian delegation to mount protests $240.00 people were injured including a police officers in terror ministry labeled the unrest a massive coup warning you may find the following pictures to starting. it. was. the book. that.

has both political dog with the situation going there reheated and there was some brisk winds and then the crowd keep it up for another story stone sticks and both of us was thrown from the side of the crowd to miss russian forces fired rubber bullets and jim is going to take us along as dawn broke police appear to be in full control of the city center but the opposition has announced a new round of protests for tonight thursday saw an attempt to storm the parliament building an estimated $5000.00 demonstrators rallied against the participation of a russian delegation during a session in the house during the event one of the visiting deputies sat in the speaker's chair for the week for their angering protesters georgian authorities have called on the demonstrators to refrain from illegal acts because. the georgian president has accused russia over what happened saying the protests benefit nobody but the kremlin she's now cut short a visit to belarus to return home russia at the same time has condemned the actions of georgian officials during the protests in

a statement the russian foreign ministry accuse them of using the protest to so anti russian sentiment protests erupted after russian and pacer gig of real of open session to promote orthodox christianity and flared between russia and georgia following the conflict and a study in 2008 protesters are now demanding the interior minister also resigns he said he's ready to do so if needed but demanded the protests stop at the same time we spoke to a former acting president of georgia burjanadze she believes the government in the capital has been fermenting anti russian sentiment. the rushing toward generalizations are really very difficult and sensitive for you against a site and most of the population now receive the same message the russian m.p. in that year of door again speaker is this something which is just creating a problem what stability of the country or something which is the just touching independence and sovereignty of that country and it was easy to predict from the

side of the government. excellently and be livable how i'm competent is the government and it's absolutely sure for me that the government did nothing poorly implemented in relation during the last few years so there was no any kind of positive in this the direction 2 of political parties. themselves as a pro western and that right now 2 years they seem. to say. the people in their political goals and to just strengthen the russian really exist in the serious part of the georgian population back to only one would be blamed for the recent shouldn't. be responsible. government and. government. facebook is under fire

once again after a report by the technology website the verge threw the spotlight on the way it treats staff it details the death of one of facebook's moderators at his workstation and the revelations were made by staff from a facebook contractor in florida called cognizant who are paid to filter extreme images that appear on the site they disclose poor working conditions among other issues warning you might find the following accounts disturbing. all what you see every single day you see pain and suffering and for days it in fact in my mind and it just makes you angry. because they're not doing anything 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 bug and friends stations they also face bodily waste at work stations on a regular basis as well as numerous verbal and physical fights another concern raised was sexual harassment cases facebook itself says it handles all challenges related to the working environment it will inevitably be employee challenges all dissatisfactions the cool our commitment to this what kind of partners the 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 online one incident in particular was the circulation of extremist content after 51 people were killed in the christchurch massacre in new zealand earlier this year meanwhile the social media giant and the contractor have vowed to introduce changes including salary boost and health care for stuff we put the issue up 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 of 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 cognisant 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 freezing it is a matter for the internet companies this case for. 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 it's 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. 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 investment is where the things of things are falling 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 quite means of doing this but we're not going to get away intel or technology improves dramatically we're 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 i think this is the scenario that would be to facebook

to this much 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 faces you could do certain measures to make it more pleasant for all the employees are having to do this moderation still to come spying on a whistleblower a police recording reveals the ecuadorian embassy it was eavesdropping on join us sunshine that story and more after this short break. you know world of big partisan movies 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 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. make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flame of merry go round lifts and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. real news group.

welcome back european commission leaders have failed to agree on hold take up the reins of the blocks top posts a special summit for june 30th has now been announced well they'll be another attempt to break the deadlock the commission president council president and 4 other top jobs were meant to have been chosen by now the cross live now to our peter oliver for more on this so peter why the impasse. well the impasse put very simply by the irish prime minister leo varadkar is the process of electing people is tougher than putting a pulp empower that was according to the irish to shock. top jobs are up for grabs these are serious positions there's a lot of thought has to go into who's going to fill these positions particularly commission president and who will take over from john claude younger also the council president current role the foreign affairs representative position which is currently filled by federico the reason it's taking well so long in order to to try

and put up with solutions to filling these places is that busy the system called spics and can do that in germany in germany it means basically top down that preferred candidates it goes in these type of stages basically whoever the parties the groups within a big part of the groups within the european parliament each put forward their own preferred candidates whoever gets the most points the most seats out of everybody standing in the european elections well they start from them so it was month of the european people's party who got the most seats in the european elections that means they looked at him 1st and they work down from there however did nothing to impress on thursday evening we understand he was rejected outright so the stages are they have to select somebody who gets the majority overall amongst heads of state that's then sent to the. to the european parliament who then votes on it and if they get

through well they become european council president however if they don't the system starts over again and it's coming it's a system that's come in for some real serious criticism. and it's really been the most prominent voice who spoken out against the spits and candidate system he has backed michel barnier the former i guess you can say former now chief of briggs that negotiation. yes well he's backed him he said that the current system doesn't allow candidates to come through from smaller parties interestingly enough of course mr representing and marché they are a much smaller party in the european the european parliament or merkel here in germany she bucked a man for it verba which is understandable the european people's bodies linked to her christian democratic and social christian social union here in germany so she supported them however what we heard from mr mccollum was that he would have

actually supported i'm going to merkel if she'd gone for the position of european commission president i have nothing against a german candidacy i said it and wasn't a joke had the chancellor been a candidate i would have supported her because i think she has the qualities the skills to be a very good president of the commission it is not what she wants i respect that very deeply well angler merkel has dismissed 80 chance of her running to be the european commission president she was speaking on friday she also tried to calm down rumors that baena a serious rift between burley and paris over who should get the european commission top job. in ny and i still say no and i want to add that i'm a little bit sad that my words which accent so often and apparently not respected at all respect each other i do not want to make a decision against france and i believe that france doesn't want to make

a decision against germany. of the very latest it does seem that money isn't getting the amount of votes he needs from heads of government to be put forward as the next president of the european commission that hasn't stopped the german chancellor though for saying that she still bucks her mom. repeat what i said and to avoid any unnecessary questions we stand by our lead candidate the p.p. candidate manfred weber others stand by their lead candidate obviously. was a quite tired looking young who addressed the press after this meeting broke down he's searching for his own replacement however he did allow a joke his own expense saying it was a little bit too difficult to replace it seems. i know it with satisfaction amusement and yes pleasure that it seems is not easy to replace me. of office

so deadlock in brussels they're going to be back again on the 30th of june to try and put forward a candidate who will lead some of the european european union's top jobs in the future artie's peter all over the queue for bringing us that report. the ecuadorian embassy in london spied on wiki leaks frontman julian assange after london murano became president that's according to police recordings of alleged extortionists who tried to get money from us on just team by threatening to release the material the group consisted of a spanish reporter and 2 computer experts their information hall included video and audio recordings his medical reports and even legal documents a founder's lawyer asked them where they got pictures of his documents they allege extortionist said it was from someone on the inside they also said the embassy had microphones and the recorded material that apparently been handed to the ambassador wiki leaks editor in chief believes the ecuadorian authorities were gathering the

the surveillance for the us. who are you so we may well be the exclusive what leads. you to the. order ready that if you. ready only want to read it as it was or to the. ongoing series of this is cold. fusion research you should. just days after songe was forced from the embassy in april footage from inside the building was leaked to the media he's now currently serving a 15 week term in the u.k.'s high security belmarsh prison for jumping bail in 2012 that's when he sought refuge following rape allegations in sweden which he has denied arguing they were a pretext extradite him to be u.s. the u.s. has indicted on 17 counts of spying for publishing documents and one of conspiracy

to hack a government computer if extradited he faces up to 175 years in prison back in 2010 released military and diplomatic cables leaked by former u.s. army soldier chelsea manning detailing alleged u.s. war crimes in iraq the editor in chief of wiki leaks again believes the u.s. charges go against journalism. we do not in the long view that is a crime is being a partnership. this work surface in the orange juice and mental this is what just an indictment against you we must answer to an indictment of all afterwards ready we are serious to the text of it and so to have an extra territory made sure all the people who discovered part of the very damaging report by the special rapporteur on board throughout the united nation which was formed seasonably condemnation of 4 of the role of the united states you know the king of sweden and

ecuador and basically making the life of the whole. 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 artist al carter picks up 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 the us were all busy making. hundreds of millions of dollars worth busy of weapons 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 busy 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 contradicts itself their own statistics indicate that russia had between 3 and 5000 nukes in 2000 and $92.00 to $42011.20 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 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 of the troubled ministration but as well to buttress his foreign policy which is aggressively aggressive in south america in the middle east aggressive and asia that's a global news update for this hour that's for tuning in. good food descriptions sound appetising even for the owners so how to choose just pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they

want to sell us then was necessarily good for the pet turns out pet food may not be as healthy as people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes and arthritis they have auto immune disorders these allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of. diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making it a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. so what is it calling. magic the new type of digital currency decentralized digital scarcity chancellor. of 2nd for
