5:01 pm
thanks for joining as you're watching on t.v. tonight. 2 congressmen one republican and democrats have tabled an amendment to block any strike on iran without the approval of congress comes on the same day posted perhaps his most threatening yet against iran and. american will be met with great an overwhelming force. obliteration. new york on the line. take us through this initiative then what do we know. well it was proposed by 2 members of congress one democrat and one republican and essentially it would prevent the president of the united states from taking any
5:02 pm
action against iran without congressional approval now essentially it's an amendment being proposed to the national defense authorization act and it would prevent the president of the united states from taking action against iran and not provide any funding for such a military action unless provided for with stacia tori opera's authorization this is how they put it last week we watched president schoen come within minutes of striking a room in the united states in yet another trillion dollar war in the middle east prison trump complained on ending costly wars overseas but given the advisors he chose and his recent risky actions he's not living up to that promise now the initiative comes in the aftermath of trump basically calling off a strike against iran 10 minutes before it was supposed to take place this was when with that point there had been washington accusing iran of shooting down their
5:03 pm
drone in international waters iran saying they shot down a u.s. drone in their own territorial areas that had violated their territorial sovereignty and now russia coming forward to say they have proof to confirm that and we have seen quite a reaction with many voices speaking up against the possibility of a u.s. war or a u.s. attack against iran now interestingly donald trump recently told the hill that he feels he would not need congressional authorization for a strike against iran this is trump. mr president new developments on iran you said that all options are on the table do you believe right now that you have the authority to strike iran without congress i do i do believe that but i like i like the idea of keeping congress abreast but i wouldn't have to do that now the issue of whether or not the president has the ability to engage in military force without congressional approval has been a longstanding disagreement in u.s.
5:04 pm
politics for example the conflict in libya began without congressional authorization there have been other instances and that point has been a longstanding disagreement the u.s. constitution lays out procedures for a declaration of war however it's not exactly clear about military strikes and interventions now interestingly among the voices that chrism criticized president we heard representative mo brooks of alabama saying that there are influences in washington d.c. that often push for actions without thinking about the consequences for members of the u.s. military and others who are affected by them so many voices very critical of the idea that the united states may attack iran it seems that 8 as trump appears to have called off a strike within 10 minutes of it taking place there are many voices who simply don't like the idea of the usa taking action against the islamic republic of iran a correspondent bring is the latest the line from new york thank you. i mean if is
5:05 pm
the situation might lead to war some in the united states could actually benefit from a conflict between quick splits. donald trump and tears on air i don't really remember any other american president squeezing that many out of us t.v. anchors by whatever he says or sides trump administration officials have been sending babies and other young children. i have muslim friends who are texting me tonight saying should i leave the country i have a family of immigrants that are terrified tonight his name was private emanuel meant and he immigrated from ghana a country donald trump apparently thinks produces very poor immigrant i am i don't know why the president doesn't know. if they loathed them so much for being
5:06 pm
inhumane and not giving a damn about people's suffering the story of how and why the president called off the strike on iran must have warmed at least a few hearts in those studios at least a tiny bit they came in they said sure we're ready to go we'd like a decision i said i want to know something before you go how many people will be killed. in this case arabians they said came back. approximately 150 and i thought about it for a 2nd i said you know what they shot down a manned. drone and here we are busy sitting with 150 dead people and i didn't like it well those who'd been painting mr trump with you know what kind of brush didn't only fall short of shifting their attitude their impression was the usual the president was failing the nation president trump was being urged by outside advisors not to carry out the strikes we don't know who they
5:07 pm
are or why he would share with them people not in the chain of command or in his defense circle north korea is watching all our enemies are watching. of course assad is watching and for 7 weeks nothing more provocations there's a price to pay for an action and that says a lot all in all it shows gross disorganization in a president who can't seem to make up his mind even on something as important as a military strike on iraq it was then the experts or columnist stern here's a part of the piece that came out in the atlantic magazine the president's reprehensible behavior makes it virtually impossible for him to bring the country together convince it is necessary and on the basis of that support persuade america's to join the fight not much of a surprise to hear that from a former bush administration member whose job was to make sure nato allies kept by washington side during the iraq invasion although that title doesn't get
5:08 pm
a mention on the page or here's how a c.b.s. correspondent was the eating into a thought by a former u.s. admiral and the channel's contributor they have to run shoots down another drone military officers so they intend to be ready to retaliate much faster and with fewer estimated casualties but the final go no go decision will still be up to the president we are in an interesting period of this crisis where it's possible the president has simply gone back to his military planners and asked for a better option that he might choose to execute any time now or at a later date let me point out though that c.b.s. doesn't say mr wenna filled is on the board of directors of raytheon one of the world's largest arms producers over at n.b.c. one of their experts stated that. trump is causing long term damage to the credibility of america's commitment to its allies and regional security in the
5:09 pm
strategically vital parts of the world mr rarely is quoted as a former u.s. ambassador to bahrain under barack obama but perhaps it would have been worth mentioning another title of his the vice president of mercury consulting one of the company's top clients is guess who the u.s. department of defense so maybe that explains the massive gap in perception a poor immigrant who's suffering at the hands of the racist president versus the lives of $150.00 iranian soldiers special interests will probably always set things straight the media is filled with all kinds of government and industry connected experts so-called experts who actually would benefit from war and and yes the media is very happy to give give them a platform because they all kind of benefit together from a from an international conflict there are some sectors of the media that are
5:10 pm
astonishingly irresponsible and shortsighted when it comes to middle east conflicts they disbelieve in pouring in arms into the middle east into the persian gulf they think nothing of engaging in a military conflict as extremely reckless and dangerous and it's pushing the us to the brink of war. conservative investigative group project veritas is posted a video that sheds light on the way google manipulates search results an interview with the whistleblower and the secretly filmed conversation with a company executive. just. a word to say to this great that. looks like my little bird would see it here even if i did like nothing better because it will be smarter for. the resources that we do it starts with the same techniques. i.
5:11 pm
see. with you cheap which is owned by google has taken down the video but it can still be seen on the project photos website auntie's if you start off a small. it's a household name for everything searched online it hosts those stupid videos you watch when the boss is not looking and there's a new service coming in 2020 electing the u.s. president at least according to activists from project very to us who say they interviewed an insider from google. books in 2016 the couple did a complete one. what they thought was important for the. important. role the work there's a lot of because of there's a lot of. bruce and some thoughts. got a lot to learn so we. took stocks district police and your users because we don't
5:12 pm
want to have an. american or corporate good you sure can search on google but who said anything about finding according to the documents which are alleged to have come from the same anonymous insider the algorithms will move down those results they deem quote unfair and trust me google's algorithms on voting for trump this document is about algorithmic unfairness it reads quote for example imagine that a google image query for c.e.o.'s shows predominantly men even if it were a factually accurate representation of the world it would be algorithmic unfairness could be time to. slow. down or balances out. google secretly adding filters for
5:13 pm
its search is like a long shot adding interest points in the finest of prints at the bottom of a 100 page document except google does that in invisible ink but search is by far not the only tool in google's arsenal a web browser smart. phones tablets laptops p.c.'s an operating system for phones tablets and smart t.v.'s the world's best seller that as over 2 and a half 1000000000 active users monthly google can tinker with any of those any time at its whim and apparently it plans to do so including to their head of responsible innovation. that it was. good. was. nothing like it is. now
5:14 pm
how's that for innovation or how's that for don't be evil how's that for do the right thing actual slogans google promises to a bite to proudly but why not play god when it's totally the right thing it's pretty scary they they are also research results to match their definition of fairness because it just in a matter of a few people say is what they deem is dear and what they deem isn't fair really their fairness term is kind of a smokescreen like the person was seen in video the id etc scene is more about their particular political viewpoints google they are published in certain stories to curating news specifically for the actual goal of having a particular person in the white house that it's clear election interference what google is doing is way way way more damaging and actually legitimate compared to the rush of conspiracy theories that have been floating around. the google

executive film by project photos claims the video was selectively edited to distill to words and says that she has no connection to the projects discussed but did use imprecise language. joan in france are at loggerheads over who will take over from john claude young kittens european commission president peta oliver has mill. everything is not rosy in the e.u. garden when it comes to finding a replacement for john claudio e.u. commission president fact we're seeing paris and berlin certainly bumping heads over this issue angela merkel she has given her full support to her man lunsford the p.-p. candidate for the commission president job he's also a member of the german chancellor's conservative union however. the french president he's not happy with the system that's being used to put forward mr verver at all he says the whole system is biased in favor of the larger parties worth
5:16 pm
noting at this point mr mcbride of course represents one of the smaller parties in the european parliament his opposition to munford verba has prompted the head of germany's conservative delegation to accuse the french president of being on t. germany i don't see a franco german axis instead i see era vision ist mr mccraw doing everything he can to destroy european democracy well president macron says this isn't the case at all in fact he pointed to the constitution of the european union which said that he was well within his rights is one of the heads of government of the 28 member states to oppose whoever he thinks is not right for the job. if munfordville presented himself in front of the european people and they had said we want him to be the president of the commission the no problem but he presented himself as head of a list in germany nice try but no i know how much germans are attached to the constitution and rightly soon we have
5:17 pm
a european constitution and treaties also what do these treaties say the president of the commission is chosen by the leaders of the council and he is confirmed by the parliament just like the germans i love the constitution so we're headed for a situation whereby if the $28.00 heads of government of the. member states can't agree on one of the candidates that's being put forward it's pretty much anybody's guess who will take over from john claudio when he steps down on the 31st of october but now they translate last week at a european council summit to get a consensus they didn't get warm there there's going to be another emergency council meeting on the 30th of june that's this coming sunday what happens essentially is the heads of government they have to agree on who they would like to see be the commission president that then gets put to the parliament they vote on this if parliament agree that person becomes the next e.u. commission president however we're quite far away from that position at the moment
5:18 pm
. president i'm son and the reason for washington's latest plan to solve the israel palestine conflict jared cushion a spoke at a peace conference in bahrain. economic growth and prosperity for the palestinian people are not possible without an enduring and fair political solution to the conflict one that guarantees israel's security and respects the dignity of the palestinian people. however today is not about the political issues will get to those at the right time good to the white house the project would pump $50000000000.00 into middle east economies the us says that the news will cut poverty help life quality and create millions of jobs the plan also includes some more controversial points that have been leaked by the israeli media or the ones in new palestine have no army serving the nation and a vast part of settlements will be controlled by israel which is a major point of concern of palestine is not even attending the conference and is
5:19 pm
strongly criticizing the plan. 1st lift the siege of gaza stop the israeli theft of our land resources and funds give us our freedom of movement and control over our borders and space territorial waters etc then watch us build a vibrant prosperous economy is a free and sovereign people. thousands of palestinians are taking to the streets of gaza to protest the plan demonstrators burned american flags and the u.s. president's portrayed was mocked with the words deal of the devil demanding a complete boycott of the barring conference of former palestinian education minister somebody sidearms says trump simply doesn't care about palestine's interests former israeli ambassador to the u.s. down the aisle on thinks the deals a chance to finally reach peace. the main concern is the surge believe the fact that is bypassing the wishes of the palestinian people is bypassing the u.n. resolutions and is imposing the american and israeli reason for peace in which the
5:20 pm
palestinians will be should used to accept a formula and which there is no state and they would really just simply be built of . the occupation that has lasted for years on and options to the palestinian people the palestinian leadership makes it difficult for any plan to exist where are the palestinians where are the main partners of the event that are absent so it is ludicrous for anybody to feel the. americans are very easy in any way going to be workable trump comes with a kind of out of the box approach this is a breath of fresh air and i think all of us should give peace a chance we should take what is possible now in this. summit or workshop i think is very important because it's going to really enthused a lot of hope into the region and the palestinians need
5:21 pm
a lot of economic projects in investments we cannot. get into a quick solution it has to be somewhat gradual and in order to be gradual i think it economic based is could help a lot and then bring in the political arm as well. facebook's head of communications is spoken out to dispel the rumor that the kremlin and i handed briggs it nick clegg before me served as the u.k.'s deputy prime minister said a full analysis on the social media giants data uncovered no evidence for us to meddle in the campaign of 2016 he has a story. the narrative in the mainstream media has been crystal clear over the last few years the twists the turns of bragg's it's the tribulations of the ultimately votes have been played on many things but what keeps you hearing high time again. it's

a fear. the idea that the majority of brits could actually vote to leave the e.u. in the referendum 3 years ago was met with such a full mint i mean it just wasn't possible of course without someone else pulling the strings and rusher is and remains an easy target to blame democracy is it risk from the malicious and relentless targeting of citizens with disinform ation and post lies dark adverts from an identifiable sources to live it through the major social media platforms we use every day much of this is directed from agencies working in foreign countries including russia the kremlin has long aims to undermine european integration and the e.u. in addition to its aims to sow confusion and undermine confidence in democratic processes themselves making brags that a potentially appealing target the accusation is that this interference mainly came

5:24 pm
supporter isn't the 1st to categorically rule out russian interference into the brakes it referendum last year you tube to be looked at all advertisements with any connection to russia and we found no evidence of our services being used to interfere in the referendum and actually this isn't the 1st time that facebook has said that there was no russian interference last year it was slammed by bush m.p.'s for claiming exactly that m.p. said facebook just didn't carry out a detailed enough investigation and demanded that it tried once again well it uncovered something pretty stark are you ready for this because it was a whopping 71 pence yes that's right just enough to buy your favorite chocolate based snack so if russia isn't behind believe both walked is according to
5:25 pm
nick clegg it's pretty simple i'm afraid the roots to british are a skepticism go very very deep and candid of the last 40 years have been much more influenced by traditional media than they have by the new media or courts the question now is how many denials rebuttals or more investigations are needed for the mainstream media to stop fixating on russia being the force of the fever breaks it actually needs to do something different to look at their own media and question their own role in that result. in ski r.t. london. massive fires engulfed a petrochemical plant on the southern tip of spain plumes of black smoke been seen billowing from a factory near gibraltar because of the fires so far no people have been evacuated from nearby homes and roads in the area are closed no injuries to so far been reported. australian public broadcaster a.b.c.
