working as prostitutes in the u.k. . a very warm welcome to you you're watching r t international with me nikki airing in our top story this hour vladimir putin has offered condolences to the families of 14 sailors who died in a fire on the deep sea submersible in russia's north west. bank some of the 14 nor top rank captains 2 were heroes of russia this is a big loss for the fleet on our 1st sincere condolences to the families of the deceased everything must be done to help and support them that was at his emergency meeting with the country's defense minister sergei showgirl following this truly tragic incident and that is what a minister sure had to say about what happened. let's take

a listen. with the result of the examination and rushes to retore that was of scientific research. who died of the combustion products poisoning due to the software actions of the team the fire was eliminated currently the deep water parameters to. see and hear more from defense minister said again because at base maintain a president clinton came to go personally to the city of 7 more square it happened in russia northwestern region and to brief afterwards to president on what happened so it was a scientific submersible it is designed to explore the bottom of the sea or the ocean it is believed to be able to operate at the depth of up to 6000 meters deep in order to do kind of underwater map painting how boats and submarines in the area navigate safely so at the time when the crew of that some very simple has been

doing their research the fire broke out and they've been doing that for russian navy and no one can say why that happened in the investigation has admitted to be launched to find out what caused the fire and we only heard from a local acting governor also that the authorities on the ground are ready to provide any help needed this is a terrible tragedy we are all ready to provide in this is serious system to the northern fleet the moments region and the fleet always support each other in difficult situations eternal memory to those who give their lives for the security of our country for when such tragedies people get united you know and these time we saw the offices of the russian navy getting united we received pictures you can now watch it the offices in russia's southern port of sevastopol bringing flowers not only offices look there are ordinary people with flowers and candles in them at the . more. in that city to commemorate those who died so the investigation is under go

in probably going to hear more in the coming days. 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 artie's kellett market 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 jack dorsey lays the groundwork to finally some for trump but will executives that ever pull the trigger twitter won't sense that trump's rule 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 why do we need a set of self appointed. know length

a bunch of people from tweeter are to to decide what politicians can or cannot say i think it would be a much much better idea to make the public decide whether they like or dislike what difficulties and they say. and it isn't just facebook or twitter google is updating a special algorithm in order to find misinformation after the rise in mass shootings in the us. we have developed algorithms that recognize that a bad event to stake in place and that we should increase our notions of authority in groups the way to authority now ranking so that with surface high quality content rather than misinformation in this critical time here the rising death toll from mass shootings comes after 14 incidental already this year 72 people have been killed now shootings are classified as those with more than 4 fatalities however you are a koan again believes the new algorithm will not be objective. the risk of course

is that we are leaving google to decide what information google is considering to be true information about what information will is considering to be fake news and i think this is very dangerous a particularly because we know as a matter of fact the make up of google's employees is very specific they tend to lean towards one or one part of the political spectrum spoke to rather than another. after 3 days of disputes the e.u. summit has finally agreed candidates for the blocks top jobs and the nominations are not too many expected as artie's piece all of a report. 3 days later than we expected but the european council that's made up of the heads of government of the 28 member states of the european union put forward their nominations for the top jobs in the european commission now these nominations

will be put to parliament they decide whether they get the job so the nominations are for commission president taking over from john claude young on the line who's currently the german defense minister for council president to take over from donald tusk sheilds michel currently acting prime minister of belgium for high representative of foreign affairs basically the e.u.'s equivalent of a foreign minister it's currently occupied by federica marketing any it will if it's approved be taken over by your state bell who is currently the foreign minister of spain while christine legarde the current i.m.f. head will take over at the european central bank now if live on the line was put in as european commission president should be the 1st woman to take over that role now angle americal was speaking just after the announcement was made she said it was a great thing that a woman had been given a chance to take over one of europe's top jobs one stuff it was unable to reach an

agreement today which is that we've nominated for the very 1st time it will as the president of the european commission that is underline. this wasn't an easy process though. verba from the european people's party was thought that he would be a shoo in to be the next commission president and all the so friends timmons from the socialists would he be the next one he seemed almost anointed as well no he said particularly those from central and eastern europe we have seen this see a process whereby a lot of people have started to question this this nomination procedure that goes through particularly big voices as well the president of france of money will say he was far from happy with it this by this fight this. rockey lead in to these nominations then all to screw the now i guess we can say outgoing european council president said he was happy with the way it had gone we have a great the whole package before the 1st session of the you feel parliament. 5

years ago we needed 3 months to decide it and still some leaders were against. this year 2 or 3 days and know about divorce against 751 that's the number of m.p. any plays that will be voting in the european parliament to the side if it's live on the line because the commission president but the m.e. peace themselves were busy on tuesday they were sitting for the 1st time in the european parliament in strasbourg and it wasn't without incident itself there was a number 29 in fact from the break that party from the united kingdom they decided that they were going to stay to the protest while ode to joy the anthem of the european union was being played in the chamber they decided to do this

ready. it's a very strange situation because you can chart of all the british and the use of just moment and we don't know if they will be in b.c. in one year's time are asked to look if they will look for a real withdraw from the parliament in indicators of the great seats obsidian finally so it's a very difficult situation for the parliament. commissions that you have been a member of commissions on a nobody not exactly what we have to. put a time office has sparked outrage after insisting that nigerian women traffics to the u.k. to work as prostitutes can enjoy a wealthy life when they were. turned to africa in the wake of the scandal the home office says it will now rewrite the advice. 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 a debt that they think could have been transported to the continent according to the new when these women are sexually exploited their 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 also the un has described that we have been attention 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 grazier 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 are often held in high regard because they have improved income prospects this is part of an official policy and information gets 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 the issues are faced by the thousands of people who are trafficked from my injury to the u.k. is one of destitution i'm a they are bought by traffickers do have a copy of their free will and imply that on the return back home bill be welcomed back with open arms and. we're going to be here for the hard working people it is difficult to return back there are cultural stigmas of the few people among them is a sufi fighting in which religion plays a big part of it and put aside by your family or you because even the community

also study them so these are negative aspects of africa society i mean which the home office doesn't seem to fully understand 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 it and 50 to 500 of them actually face if you felt you felt. their p.t.s.d. . or mental health issues over time by slight injury or felt need the local authorities and government itself did not have the required for the teacher to teach 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 of showing disregard for this safety after it emerged victims were being released from immigration detention back to the

addresses where they were enslaved 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 command 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 the jury are 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 is allowed to stockpile under the 2050 nuclear deal man a little bit as i have been informed iran has crossed the 300 kilogram limit but based on his earlier we had announced our plan to exceed the limit therefore based on our previous announcement we made it clear what we were going to do we see it as a right based on the use of be aware you. know what to do and they go with the airplane with i think they're playing with fire the trump administration has vowed to apply maximum pressure on iran over its nuclear ambitions it's also suggested that iran was already producing high amounts of enriched 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 enrichment was justified by the fact that america pulled out of the nuclear deal the u.n. nuclear watchdog is there is concerned that iran has breached its limit under the

agreement is the latest twist in iran's long running difficulties with the west. iran's done with. at least it seems when it comes to washington. the useless sanctions imposed by the desperate us government. has the effect of blocking the path to diplomacy for years iran has attempted to rebuild relations with the us . results in 1988 u.s. military shot down a 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 captain rogers. expected of him. and the. president. should. never apologize for the united states of america ever. the fact

still ready to reconcile iran helped organize the release of. reciprocate 1995 even harsher u.s. sanctions will be. i am formally announcing. an investment with iran the 2nd round of came shortly after 911 i was. ready. to again express my deep. all the great. candlelight vigil.

months later became 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 green not to push nuclear weapons the united states together worth international partners has achieved something that decades of animosity as not a comprehensive long term deal with iran will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon it was celebrated but shortly dumped a bad deal by donald trump he walked away without any confirmation turned around was in violation so perhaps it's no great surprise iran is tired of talking. the

united states does not seem to be very much willing to talk to iran otherwise they would have 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 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 the respect towards the action the case could be different until then there couldn't be any kind of talks with the u.s. no matter who is in office. iran will keep its exemption from opec will increase production to wrongs oil minister has announced the talks with the great they all producing organization agreed to extend production cuts for other member states for another 9 months we spoke with members salomé of international oil economist he

says the deal is a needed boost to a fragile global crude market. however iran was anxious by the fact that it played nor all of this agree about in fact it was russia leading the number 0.0 and produce service and saudi arabia the leader of all be agreeable outside opec before they come to the meeting they have been calming iran to accept the extension and iran accepted it all go all its production or love to be affected since it is exempt from the program agreement the suspension of the above that is m.s.s. if the 2 ensure that oil prices start to rise again bought a peculiarly if there is a break it all ended today

a war between china and the united states. thought tom says he would like to withdraw all u.s. troops from afghanistan leaving only enough to deliver what he dubbed strong intelligence. i would like to just get out the problem is it just seems to be a lab for terrorists it seems to i call it the harvard of terrorists i would leave very strong intelligence there you have to watch. there are currently around $9000.00 u.s. troops in afghanistan over the last 18 years that the u.s. has lost thousands of personnel and nearly a trillion dollars earlier i spoke to author and veteran of the conflict roger hill who argues the rules of engagement to be changed. the rules of engagements are outdated and when i say rules of engagement i mean the law of war the law of armed conflict don't necessarily account for an enemy force that doesn't reciprocate them the geneva conventions concerning how we fight in that in how we conduct ourselves

in warfare are written. under the idea that the enemy will reciprocate how we fight and how we conduct ourselves in combat and the enemy does in fact reciprocate and find that's that's one thing all together but however we're fighting in a situation that's unprecedented for example with isis and the enemy. does not fight according to those conventions and so we're trying to force an undue burden on our military service members to conduct themselves when there is such a deficit or disparity between how they fight and the enemy forces are fighting for you and finds the u.s. and allies in afghanistan responsible for most civilians deaths in the 1st 3 months of this year then the taliban and isis together. even you will call to further relax pennsic and rules against enemy combatants highly irresponsible i think the

idea the ideal behind why we're overseas in iraq and afghanistan is what needs to be questioned i think a lot of times we get fixated on individual instances of civilian casualties and persecuting military service members for the collateral that's created however the type of fight that we've been forced to engage in there is a large possibility or risk for inevitable collateral to include civilian casualties so you can't place an undue burden on the service members on the ground when that collateral is created and if you do then the people that you need to bring alongside them when you do prosecute them needs to be the politicians in the senior military that sent them over there to begin with i you said how you'll book you don't company it was redacted i can you tell us how and why yes so the pentagon has an office a security review. and they claim on their website that they can turn a manuscript around in 2 months and that is to review it for sensitive material and

then get back to the authors with their recommendations on what material should be removed or changed they kept dark open for a year in the content that they redacted 95 percent of it according to the experts that we hire to review the manuscript outside of the pentagon was actually on federally sponsored websites that's us going to government federally sponsored by cites. a crowd funding campaign has been launched for 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 targets the ante for rally was staged to counter a far right march in the same city organized by the group proud for its through a no for promoting violence the opposing groups did eventually meet resulting in multiple clashes and the rest aren't easy cause don i've looked at how the gloves are off when it's the far left versus the far right. 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 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 the far right activist and blogger who rides bogus skip this is the incite hatred against muslims he's not a journalist in many capacity whatever your opinions on the far right activists getting punched in the face are bullies describe his actual profession correctly until you 1st jigsaw puzzle is complete and if you're a piece that doesn't fit you're just not welcome.

i believe. 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.

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 farrar should wear the braggs a t. it 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.
