and donald trump accuses iran of playing with fire after tehran exceeds its uranium stockpile limit of the 2015 nuclear deal. you're watching aren't international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 4 pm welcome to the program. social media platforms are preparing for the 2020 u.s. presidential election facebook has unveiled a pilot program to monitor hate speech and says it will ban ads that discourage people from voting but there are concerns about the company controlling just what people can see as often explains. yes the world is a scary place lots of different views and opinions out there but don't worry silicon valley is going to keep our mind safe from being contaminated by bad ideas they know what's best for you and me facebook has come out with its 1st major

announcement of 2019 and as part of its ongoing civil rights audit it's going to have a team of hate speech reviewers civil rights groups have been concerned about us mistakenly taking down compton meant to draw attention to and fight discrimination rather than promoted we're taking steps to address this including a u.s. pilot program where some of the people who review content on facebook only focus on hate speech instead of a range of content the can include bullying nudity and misrepresentation and it's not just those hateful nasty comments they're going to protect us from in addition as we have the 2020 us presidential election and the upcoming federal us census approaching they will protect us from inappropriate comments about them so you think the vote is rigged against say bernie sanders like it wasn't 2016 well facebook says you best keep that analysis to yourself to protect elections we have a team across product engineering data science policy legal and operations

dedicated full time to these efforts they're already working to burn ads that discourage people from voting and we expect a phone line as the new policy and its enforcement before the 20000000 teen gubernatorial elections and it's not just facebook that's concerned about what we might choose to read other high tech overlords are in on it too even donald trump has noticed he says that's an attempt to insert bias and hurt him in the upcoming election twitter is is just terrible what they do you saw what happened yesterday with google google is totally biased to trying to rig the election that's what we should be looking at now which and the phony which and which is proven to you oh and trump does have a point if you. look at twitter's new rules they say that they will now be hiding tweets from world leaders and politicians that have been left online despite violating the rules due to the public interest now these tweets will only be available in rare cases. there are certain cases where it may be in the public's

interest to have access to certain tweets even if they would otherwise be in violation of our rules on the rare occasions when this happens we'll place a notice a screen you have to click or tap through before you see the tweet to provide additional context and clarity we'll also take steps to make sure the tweet is not algorithmically elevated on our service now of course twitter did not mention any particular president but mainstream us media has read between the lines and they are overjoyed. to see lays the groundwork to finally some for trump but will executives at ever pull the trigger twitter won't sense the trumps rude breaking tweets but who will make them harder to find is this the fix to one of twitter's most delicate problems trump tweets have gotten so bad that twitter to my stunt giving the morning labels so in the lead up to a us presidential election we've got gigantic tech monopolies basically announcing

that they will be deciding for us what we are and are not allowed to hear and read and why well they've got to protect us from election meddling after all and make sure we choose to vote in the right way caleb mopp and r.t. new york. crowdfunding campaign has been launched for a conservative journalist after he was assaulted at a far left rally in portland oregon it quickly raised more than $160000.00 in donations more than 3 times the target and it was staged to counter a far right march in the same city organized by the group boys who are known for promoting violence the poison groups did eventually meet resulting in multiple clashes and arrests r.t. is it your style of look at how the gloves are off when it's the far left versus the far right. what do you think this is what you can get if you don't have a ticket to ride the leftists train for this conservative journalist it went from threats to violence pretty quickly it's. seems the attack on him had been planned

for them he wasn't a journalist he wasn't an equal diffuse into an islam of a white supremacist fascist because before trying to cover their rally no had covered one from the other side of the political spectrum and in goes the far right activist and blogger who writes bogus sketch pieces to incite hatred against muslims he is not a journalist and the capacity whatever your opinion on the far right activist getting punched in the face please describe his actual profession correctly until the 1st jigsaw puzzle is complete and if you are a piece that doesn't fit you're just not welcome. believe. me. we believe survivors there are chanting that was senator

ted cruz and his wife heidi being forced out of a washington restaurant by left wing activists in america in the u.k. and the rest of europe it's a discourse in which fists and kicks speak louder than words any opponent is painted evil regardless of whether or not they have any history of engaging in far right violence and if the left can deal with you physically they will discriminate against you as happened to white house press secretary sarah sanders last year when she was refused service at a restaurant they will publicly ostracize you like when eric trump was harassed when eating out the left will even track you down and come knocking on your door. used. the left is on

a search and destroy mission and progressive outlets will give plenty of outrage to announce the new rules when the goal justifies all means so when the day comes that the world feels return to its normal axis i expect we'll see fewer highly charged encounters making headlines in the mean time the new rules apply if you are directly complicit in spreading hate or pitcher waiting suffering maybe you should consider dining at home now showing a satire piece or nigel for raj where the braggs a tear gets a head shot from the sniper is fine well it's a joke after all except imagine a conservative channel joking around killing a leftwing i can for instance but as an undisputable force of good you don't waste your time talking with the enemy but all trump said that there are bad people on both sides and he was heavily criticized but i think he was absolutely right the

left they cry foul when there is any source or negative techniques used against them but when they use the same techniques and actually go further and employ violence to mitigation and harassment on a mass scale a lot of cases using social media. so that they believe that there is just if you call everyone a nazi then no one is a nazi or no one is or isn't is a genuinely legacy's force that she makes it more likely it's all horses like fascists to rise and challenged the left isn't forcing a new order and by the new rules the gloves are off when dealing with dissidents. practiced here i mean peers have shown their disdain for the e.u. at the opening session of the new european parliament by turning their backs during the playing of the black anthem they'd have an out joy.

plenty going on in stroudsburg in the parliament also plenty going on with the european council over in brussels will start at the parliament where this be by works inside and out outside of the politic there is a demonstration taking place at the back the capital on independence in the palace beautiful wasn't allowed to take up his seat as an m.e.p. in the chamber well inside well we saw that demonstration from the breaks that party led by nigel farage the 29. turning their backs on ode to joy the official anthem of the european union we also saw a demonstration by pro e.u. british any pieces well those from the liberal democratic party they wearing lip them t.

shirts that said no to break that on the back of parchment didn't use those words exactly used words i would get in trouble for if i used them here on at what we are seeing is a situation though in europe where these m.e.p. many of whom are starting for the 1st time that they're expecting to be able busy to vote on who's going to get the the big jobs in europe the commission president the council president the parliamentary president high representative for foreign affairs the only thing is is the european council who are currently meeting over in brussels they haven't decided who's going to be open for voting for in the parliament just yet until a miracle the german chancellor she arrived for more talks on tuesday said that they needed to have more energy to more have more impetus and to be willing to find a compromise even if we're going to get to work we need to teach and i believe that everyone has to understand if they have to move a little bit he you need is having to find a solution. had originally. manford verba she then seemed to change her backing

towards the dutchman friends timmons however mr timmins does not sit well with those in central and eastern europe a group led by poland the czech republic slovakia and hungry all say no to mr simmons we want a commission president who doesn't have negative views about a region so mr to months is not acceptable to us end of story we have a completely different view on migration he's always backed migrant quotas and this is a problem for us we could be set for a late night at the european council meeting because the wealth the options they have is they either find a solution or they have to call another summit. artists are reporting there but we now bring an independent journalist lucrative a for it live comment on the story now what message was that gesture by brigadiers meant to convey do you think well. as want to leave that and there are very good chances that they will leave after

all that britain leaves on the 31st october as. is probably the next prime minister crossed mrs main was there with 27 heads of state to try to find successes of the 2 younger at the european commission and for the other top jobs but she didn't want to meddle in european affairs anymore and breast is just said you know we want out of sorts so they said no to the old to joy by beethoven now do you think today's stunt could actually make bracks that talks even more tense than they already are. i don't think it'll be much more tense one boris johnson comes in 10 downing street probably he will come up with a proposal so that the zone there will be probably refused by michele bachmann and by the european commission has said repeatedly that there is nothing more to negotiate and so it's a hard breaths it that we will probably witness on the 1st of november the same

date it's on the same day new president of the european commission will be designated to fish again stop working if they find one by then but we can hope that they will the slide to 717 hours of negotiations that ended up in no result today. what do you make of the failure to fill the as top jobs this delay that we're seeing over and over. i mean that's of the sauce the for europe. disaster and public relations of course merkel and micro why have the summit last week the g 20 had decided between themselves that they had found the solution it was months the socialist guy he would be nominated full stop and then they realized coming back to brussels i mean mrs merkel is used to these negotiations the attic and michael is not an ethos that it took too long to notice ult because he's used

to having everybody following his have been in some cases you know 28 had state i mean kind 728 this donegan to to own to discuss and agree so they could try and enough people to agree to to 65 percent all for their representation and you to compile the one that is needed to designate somebody with mrs smokable strike to think that it's not enough in the present situation we have so many people against the present european commission the present european union as it functions they can have somebody asked him amounts with reilley grice if to a point that it's incredible to the people in central europe who is. very aggressive to. mr orbán for example he declared that. you see the methods of the with hitler he also true to. the future probably british prime

minister of a racist so i mean that this guy can run the commission. be the the head man for money le pen and european parliament told me last week that it was the worst choice for and so for all the people who are on the right of the spectrum in italy in france in belcher me in germany holland and all those months is not acceptable so if him and nancy. stacy it has a 65 percent but i don't think medical will go as far as that. then it would be all out war in parliament and the commission versus many of the states of central europe and. independent journalist thank you so much for your time and joining us on the program today your global news update continues after this short break.

join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. much of mushy misuse down some context used in the wrong way carrie carrie potential arms like any any psychoactive substances. but used in the right way they seem to have quite a. profound 32 potential and quite a good safety play song as well. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is also a spearing dramatic development that only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and

talk. welcome back to the program the british home office has sparked outrage after insisting that nigerian women traffic to the u.k. to work as prostitutes can enjoy a wealthy life when they return to africa and the wake of the scandal the home office says it will not rewrite the advice the reports. it's been described as at crisis level the number of nigerian women trafficked into prostitution across europe thousands of women and girls every year forced into the sex trade often in

a bid to pay off the debt that they think could in paying transported to the continent according to the when these women are sexually exploited they're raped. they are subject to all forms of human rights violations including torture rape extortion forced labor sexual and labor exploitation amounting to trafficking and contemporary forms of slavery paid they were turned home there is also the risk of violent proprieties the un has described that we have been a taishan in full social inclusion of trafficked persons back in nigeria as being particularly challenging however the u.k. government appears to be painting a very different picture one that's crazy trafficked women who return from europe wealthy from prostitution enjoy high social economic status and in general are not subject to negative social attitudes on return they're often held in high

regard because they have improved income prospects this is part of an official policy and information it's used by the home office decision makers who handle any protection and human rights claims that includes trafficked women who may be seeking asylum that's sparked outrage this is a face by the thousands of people who are trafficked from my injury to the u.k. i'm one of destitution i'm a they are brought by traffickers to have a copy of their free will and imply that on their terms back home they'll be welcomed back with open arms and community and from the hardworking people it is difficult to return back there are cultural stigmas behind the few people. i'm under itself because of the society in which religion plays a big part of it and put aside by your family or your biggest division the community also struggling i'm sure these are negative ingrained aspects of african society i mean which the home office doesn't seem to forget on the stand there is

also a huge issue for those who do return to nigeria and getting access to the support that they desperately need percent of people who are trafficked to europe from nigeria with i'm 53 to 500 of them actually face such a future fashion assault. p.t.s.d. . mental health issues all the time but me the local authorities and government itself do not have the required for the teachers to teach to help ingrained issues within the population to have these issues it's not the 1st time the home office has found itself questions sized over the way that it deals with victims of trafficking lawyers have accused each of showing disregard for this safety after it emerged victims were being released from immigration detention back to the addresses where they were in slaved in 2018 it also emerged that under the hostile

environment policy victims of modern slavery and human trafficking had been jailed in breach of legislation while others had been deported in a statement the home office said victims of modern slavery shouldn't be prosecuted for criminal fast as they were forced to commit as a result of exploitation just months after backing a campaign urging nigerian women and girls to find jobs at home instead of risking a life of modern slavery in the u.k. some might argue that this latest advice that prostitution can essentially equal wealth could actually encourage more women and girls from nigeria to try their own luck and risk their own lives. r.t. london. donald trump has lashed out at iran after it exceeded the amount of low enriched uranium it's allowed to stockpile under the 2015 nuclear deal. managed it up to as i have been informed iran has crossed

a 300 kilogram limit based on his earlier we had announced our plan is to exceed the limits and therefore based on our previous announcement we made it clear what we were going to do we see there's a right. way that about you know what to do with you know what they're playing with i think they're playing with fire. the trumpet ministration has vowed to apply maximum pressure on iran over its nuclear ambitions it's also suggested that iran was already producing high amounts of enrich uranium before the deal was signed the iranian foreign minister responded with a simple tweet the one word question seriously he also said the latest nourishment was justified by the fact that america pulled out of the deal the u.n. nuclear watchdog has since confirmed that iran has breached its limit under the agreement it's the latest twist in the iran's long running difficulties with the west. iran's done with dialogue at least it seems when it comes to

washington. the useless sanctions imposed by the desperate u.s. government on iran's supreme leader and foreign minister has the effect of blocking the path to diplomacy for years iran has attempted to rebuild relations with the u.s. without any tangible results in 1988 u.s. military shot down a rainy and passenger plane that killed 290 civilians including 66 children and the incident was considered an accident the pentagon never apologized. i believe that given the operating environment. his nation expected of him. and the president. shouldn't. the united states of america ever i don't care what the facts. iran helped organize

the release of u.s. hostages in lebanon but this goodwill gesture wasn't reciprocated by 995 even harsher sanctions were. formally announcing. all trade and investment with iran the 2nd round of came shortly after 911 i was. ready and. as a muslim and. again express my deep. we. all great. candlelight vigils were held in the victims but the diplomatic progress didn't last long for months. came president bush's axis of evil speech which included iran

this is a regime that has something to hide from the civilized world. states like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil. finally in 2050 iran signed a deal with the international community including the us agreeing not to pursue nuclear weapons the united states together worth international partners has achieved something the decades of animosity as not a comprehensive long term deal with iran will prevent it from the detaining of the earlier what it was celebrated was shortly dubbed a bad deal by don't trump he walked away without any confirmation turned around was a violation so perhaps it's no great surprise iran is tired of talking. you know out of the states does not seem to be very much willing to talk to iran otherwise they would've kept the nuclear deal and built up on that at least they could have

given to try but they've not done that they have ruined the former deal and this shows they reimpose sanctions to the harshest level possible this shows that they are after iran so run that if the united states removes the sanctions gets back to the nuclear deal to show that it shows respect towards the action the case could be different until then there couldn't be any kind of talks with the us no matter who is in office. that's all the news update for this hour but don't forget you can always had to our website r.t. dot com for the details on all those stories and many more.
