international truly glad tadworth its. world powers have called for an urgent deescalation between the u.s. and iran envoys from the 2 countries addressed to the un security council and seemed in no mood for compromise iran's defiance of the security council and its reckless behavior threatening peace and security globally must not be downplayed in the name of preserving a deal the doesn't fully cut off iran's path to a nuclear weapon the international community should also does is against us and lawlessness if you want. to be governed by good will of law not by a good will of power the united states has made clear its willingness to engage in dialogue with iran to negotiate a deal that will better serve international peace and security we hear certain that nobody is planning a regime change in iran and at the same time we have threats about obliteration and new sanctions are being introduced there were calls that dialogue and then in parallel openly they declared the intention to increase military presence in the
7:02 pm
region such signals which even an experienced cryptologist would struggle to de code which can only bring the situation to a point of no return germany jointly with the remaining jason participants will continue. to work to ensure that iran can receive the economic benefits from sanctions relief i want once again to call for deescalation for dialogue and full respect for international rules earlier the us president threatened to obliterate iran if tehran attacks anything american that was after iran's president said he the white house was suffering from a mental disorder and donald trump later defended his aggressive tweets. message did you want to send your tweet a message you know ok with the messages when they're ready to have to let us know. when they're ready to let us know very simple are you going to hear me do whatever doesn't make any difference whatever they want to do i'm already have an exit strategy for iran if war does break. you're going to need an exit strategy. i don't
7:03 pm
need the exit strategy. meanwhile the president of iraq has said he will not allow the u.s. to use his country to launch any kind of military action against iraq the american troops the coalition troops in iraq again at the invitation of the iraqi government for the specific exclusive mission of fighting isis we do not want to be a staging post foot any hostile action against any of on neighbors including iraq former u.k. army officer charles schwab ridge believes america is isolated in its harsh stance on iran. what iraq has said today it's largely consistent with what the rest of the world is saying to other perhaps more pointedly what the rest of the world isn't saying even britain. the closest one of the closest u.s. allies hunting herself said today that he couldn't imagine or couldn't. the circumstances under which the u.k. would join in with the u.s.
7:04 pm
and that's act on iran it's an indication of the messaging that's going on that perhaps with the exception of maybe his route of countries such as saudi arabia the united states pakistan's pretty isolated in its campaign i think what could be fairly called aggression against iran at the current time so increasingly we're seeing america actually isolated from even its closest allies in its campaign against iran at present donald trump has also claimed that the real reason that the iranian people are suffering is because their government spends all of its money on terror and while the white house continues to insist it's not seeking regime change in iran that there is one group it would perhaps like to see take power there are trees but i've got the comments. sometimes i get the impression that trump knows what the iranian people want better than the uranium people he his government congress talk so much about how the iranian people want the said that this is good
7:05 pm
for them and matts bad for them it's almost like they knew each other obviously the people of iran are great people you know i know many of them i live in new york have been there very much less to have for years but i know many arabians living in new york and they're fantastic people personally i have my doubts about the iranians trump knows being representative of the entire nation but whatever there is one group of the rains that the white house and friends knew very well could even say that pounds were jad dean hutton or the people's mage idea of iran will make for sure they've been busy bees lately last friday they got together in washington protest the asli calling for regime change and the removal of iran's supreme leader.
7:06 pm
we've always been saying no war no appeasement but change by the iranians and they've shown that in uprisings that it's what the across iran where they chant just like you hear in the background we want regime change in iran and that's that never mind what moves the rain ians the ones actually in iran think on the matter but i digress american politicians love these guys mek they were almost called all of them you stand for free or iran where you stand for democracy you stand for human rights keep up your fight. those who love and cherish freedom and. our country and throughout the world stand with you stand. you're on the right side of history right in fact the united states has big plans for these mujahedeen great expectations they have destined to rule the
7:07 pm
declared policy of the united states of america should be the overthrow of the mahler's regime in tehran and that's why the 429 t. we here is celebrating in tehran thank you for. now that introductions are over let me tell you about them or just hygiene of iran it hasn't been 10 years since they were moved from america's terror lists still in plenty of others make killed anyone who didn't like shootings assassinations bombings targeting police iranian officials civilians just for supporting the government americans both in iran and in america and yet since they renounced violence they would taken off these blacklists the department does not overlook or forget the mujahideen had exposed to acts of terrorism including its involvement in beginning of u.s.
7:08 pm
citizens in the run in the ninety's seventy's and an attack on the us soil in 1902 the department also has serious concerns about the mujahedeen hynix as an organization particularly with regard to the geishas of abuse committed against its own members oh yeah they don't just target others they target each other to the best traditions of every crazy cult human rights watch says abuses carried out against dissident members range from beatings and imprisonment to torture and threats of execution according to each r.w. one guy tried to the mujahideen would you believe it for this scribe he was kept in solitary. meant for 8 years scientologists you've got nothing on these guys aside from maybe influence the recently released documents makers organize dozens of meetings with us politicians interviews features articles with big media
7:09 pm
begs the question of course where do they get the money it rain ians on donating make has almost no support in iran the answer is well they do the odd job according to this alleged conversation between make members released by iran. we did our best to blame the iranian regime for the oil tanker blasts the saudis have called maryam rajavi office to follow up on the results to get a conclusion of what has been done and the possible consequences look at it this way whoever's financing them isn't doing it because they're nice they aren't you know the saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend even if he's a murderous crazy cultist apparently unfortunately united states seems to be very fond of using terrorists i mean they meet to using terrorist this is a very very dangerous group not because it has any hope of ever being in iran and
7:10 pm
really there but they're very dangerous because they're a cult they are just they do not understand at 1st in human rights and their terrorist there's no way they can replace any government in iran and that i can i would bet on it it's not going to happen i don't think america plans but then america would like to tell them. so that they would continue their activities not because they have this group being able to we know with the iranians to their side. u.k. has suspended exports of crowd control weapons to hong kong this follows a recent police crackdown on protests against an extradition bill in the chinese territory the british foreign secretary explained the move in parliament are we remain very concerned with the situation in hong kong and i raise those concerns with the chief executive on the 12th of june today the hong kong i say our
7:11 pm
government to establish a robust independent investigation into the violent scenes that we saw and we will not issue any further export licenses for crowd control equipment to hong kong unless we're satisfy the concerns raised on human rights and fundamental freedoms have been fairly addressed the freeze on sales of police equipment to hong kong comes just 8 days after the u.k. was forced to suspend new weapons exports to saudi arabia artie's trial dubinsky takes a closer look at the 2 cases. becomes just a week after the u.k. government also announced that it would not be allowing any new licenses of exports of arms sales to saudi arabia and to its coalition partners in the war in yemen that followed a decision by the court of appeal here in the u.k. that said that those arms sales had been a norful again citing possible violations when it comes to human rights despite
7:12 pm
that decision by the court and despite the fact that the government says it will look at that decision the prime minister to resign made the u.k. government will look to appeal that decision we continue to operate one of the most robust arms export control regimes. take our responsibilities on arms export licensing very seriously we're disappointed that the court found against the government on one ground and we will be seeking permission to appeal this judgement so 2 cases of possible human rights violations let's took a look at the 2 together now let's start with hong kong 3 weeks of protests tear gas being used rubber bullets being used accusations of police brutality and dozens injured but not a single person killed as a direct result on the other hand you have the conflict in yemen which the society led coalition is involved in at the moment and what we have a close to 100000 deaths over 4 years the majority of them many say
7:13 pm
are civilians so what's the difference between these 2 different scenarios on the ground well some would say what you really need to do is to follow the money and when you look at what the worth is of those sales to hong kong it's apparently only around $1800000.00 pounds to the u.k. economy on the other hand in yemen arms sales since 2015 are worth more than 4700000000 parents it's a huge difference and some might question whether it's easier to take the moral high ground when there isn't much of an impact to the u.k. economy and that's what this comes down to a not really a stance when it comes to human rights violations. political analyst chris bambery told us that humanitarian concerns take a back seat for the u.k. government when it comes to selling weapons britain along with western governments is very selective about those that it seeks out the situation with arm sales to
7:14 pm
saudi is very different because the decision of the hong kong was one mead by the british government in the question of the arms sales to saudi and it's called wish in our eyes in the war against yemen this forward a court case where it was brought by the campaign against the arms trade and in geale and what we have here is the british being forced to the british government force to seize these arms sales to saudi arabia and the others but not wanting to do that one iota i think the british will do everything they can to overturn the course the situation and or to find a way around it because this alliance with saudi arabia is fundamentally important to the british to bring great britain p.l.c. they will do everything to maintain it even at the cost of 100000 yemeni date. the german government says it has lost track of around 160 extremists who travel to syria and iraq to join islamic state or to appear oliver has the story. the best
7:15 pm
estimate suggests at least a 1000 people left germany to go enjoy an isis and following a question from a member of the bundestag to the interior ministry it's been revealed that in 160 cases those identified as extremists have disappeared without a trace occasionally such individuals could have succeeded in escaping and all disappearing in an attempt to alleviate fears of isis terrorists living among german society the federal government has said that they are convinced that it would be extremely unlikely that anyone who had traveled to join isis would be able to come back to germany and live or noticed however the m.p. that 1st raised concerns says she's not convinced considering the surest fragmented protection of the easy external borders it is particularly worrying that the federal government has a pattern taken no further measures to prevent the uncontrolled reentry of isis
7:16 pm
militants 2 thirds of those who have left the country have german citizenship this presents another issue what to do with those who want to return to germany well in the case of isis support a 5 day hard he's currently being held in a kurdish jail his lawyers are suing the german government they say has a responsibility to bring him home from our point of view the federal government is constitutionally obliged to bring fabien back to germany it has not fulfilled this obligation for political reasons the lawyers maintain that there is a german constitutional obligation for the government to protect the fundamental rights of their citizens even when they are held in foreign nations and his younger brother who's location is unknown traveled from the central german city of castle to syria to join isis in 2014 their father says he was assured that would be released if berlijn requested it however he believes the germans turning
7:17 pm
a blind eye to the. the german government would prefer it if my children on the other islamist would just disappear forever here's the thing it isn't that easy for the german government to intervene even if they wanted to and there is no indication that they really do germany currently has no diplomatic relations with syria and the federal government doesn't recognize the kurdish y p g group who is holding. in the case of the at least 160 people who travelled from germany to join isis and remain unaccounted for or berlin doesn't know whether they are alive or dead whether they remain in the middle east or whether they've come back here and if they've come back here whether they pose any potential threat to society the german government and the security of the secret service intelligence services seem to know exactly how many people left germany to go to syria and to iraq and to shy it with one of those armed groups and suddenly they
7:18 pm
say now we lost track of them germany seems to have been sleeping officially they didn't say a lot about this and certainly they have no real policy about us this is why nothing is happening now and that discussion is being put forward through the media are through the facts on the ground they will be forced to do one thing or the other eventually and our society is not really aware and cannot really imagine what these people are might be up to we need a public discussion about this without stigmatizing without being a racist or big but the german society and the politicians have to be more realistic about the threats facebook has agreed to hand over user data to the french government to crack down on hate speech after a much more upfront but this is our international.
7:19 pm
you know world 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 smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad 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. hearts of jared questioners deal this century have been made public and the reception has not been good focusing on aid and infrastructure the deal is silent on the most contentious political issues and for all intents and purposes the long proposed 2 state solution appears to be dead is the deal of the century dead on the
7:20 pm
right. welcome back this is our team international now donald trump has lashed out at facebook google and twitter claiming that they deliberately restrict his reach online because people are all democrats it's totally biased toward democrats if i announce tomorrow that i'm going to become a nice liberal democrat i would pick up 5 times more followers twitter is is just terrible what they do they don't let you get the word i had they should be sued because what's happening with the guy is. meanwhile investigative group project very toss has released a probe which also accuses google of political bias a video of employees discussing policy was posted on that you tube but was quickly
7:21 pm
removed from the platform it includes an interview with a whistleblower and secretly filmed conversation with a company executive. about fairness there's a have to manipulate the circus olds so that it gives them the political. look they want and so they have to borrow to steer all the rhythms so that they can they can get their agenda across i think they were to say that it's a great. thinker lingard would see a period like that to see that or think that they were all these other. people or that he did it's hard for them to take the next. couple of i. think that's. the google executive filmed by project veritas says the video was selectively edited to distort her words but the revelations chigger to a heated debate in u.s. congress due to removed
7:22 pm
a video from project which appears to show senior google executive acknowledging politically motivated search manipulation within a 10 to influence election outcomes none of us here want on this side of this i appreciate the concern and the desire to foster a robust debate and it look like they're talking about a very serious political bias and it and their intent to implement that bias in their job let me be clear this employee was recorded without her consent i believe these statements were taken out of context but the statements that i quoted from were full complete statements that were not edited so it is concerning when you see somebody who is an executive with google and you are more than one in that video by the way we do not allow anyone lower level our level to manipulate our products in that way in this project varied. this video which i did watch last night they allege that there are internal google documents which they put on the video and
7:23 pm
this is what it's sad it may be desirable to consider how we might hopes this guy and the eat reach a more and equitable state via project intervention what does that mean every robust set of guidelines to ensure that we're providing relevant for us for the information we work with a set of readers around the world around the country to make sure that those search trader guidelines are followed those are transparent and available for you to read on the web all right well i personally don't think that answered the question at all we heard from benoit kept mark a senior lecturer at the melbourne university of technology he says google has become more powerful than many countries google has and this is the great paradox that it's a system as a company it's bows it's transparency to information but of course the reality is we do not know. the nature of its algorithms function and open sense it's not
7:24 pm
entirely transparent with us because of course in a certain level of google's influences grace in many ways than states governments themselves and that's rather dangerous if you believe in the notions of better and accountable of accountable public institutions and so forth but that is the nature of information management it tends to produce interests of a specific type and that's what google tends to through its own rhythm system employ. the role of tech giants is also under scrutiny in france where facebook has struck a deal to crack down on hate speech artie's possibly or ports. facebook has agreed to give up daughter to the french authorities in cases where it will help identify those uses on its platform that are engaging in hate speech this is the 1st time that the media giant has of me to hand over identifying information regarding its uses that are not related to violence or terrorism cases now france's digital
7:25 pm
affairs minister has applauded the news this is huge news it means that the judicial process will be able to run normally it's really very important they're only doing it through france now it follows a number of meetings that were held earlier in the month between the french president emmanuel necron and the founder of facebook mark zuckerberg and also these things between facebook's global affairs head and french ministers however a spokesperson for facebook says that this does not mean that the french authorities are being given carte blanche and that the media giants will scrutinize each and every request from the french authorities for the basic information in criminal hate speech cases he also says that in those situations where they feel that the authorities request is too broad or inconsistent with human rights or in some way is legally and sound they will push back at the moment facebook uses artificial intelligence to identify hate speech and it defines hate speech as
7:26 pm
a direct attack on a person based on their ethnicity their national our region their sexual orientation their gender they religious affiliation and they race. our sister channel our 2 friends and spoke with the co-founder of french media outlet who says the definition of hate speech is open to interpretation. the whole problem is about how we understand the terms hate speech and offensive content that's the problem if they want to include racist anti-semitic content content which is offensive to a certain sex or religion they will need to define it and understand what's behind it otherwise blasphemy will be included as an offense which is not so you need to be extremely careful about what will be included in the concepts of rhetoric that incites hatred and offensive content and who will decide this is a money micron said this will be a working group in which there will be a french controller and representatives from facebook they will work together to
7:27 pm

7:28 pm
only thing they did. in. the lead a shoot on between washington and tehran there is no regional ally to restrain the u.s. is worst tendencies with barbs treated and sanctions imposed what can stop the u.s. from sliding into yet another middle east war. this is boom bust broadcasting around the globe uncovering the world of business and finance and the entire upon us all i'm daniel and i'm christine why in washington here's a look at what's on deck today as
