the 2020 u.s. presidential election facebook has unveiled a pilot program to monitor hate speech and says it will banner ads that discourage people from voting but there are concerns about the company controlling just what people can see as artie's qaeda more than 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 the 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 it 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 do you row 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 were 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 will place a notice a screen you have to click or tap through before you see the tweet to provide additional context and clarity will 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 that ever pull the trigger on twitter won't sense a trump through breaking tweets but who will make them harder to find is this the fix to one of twitter's most delicate problems trump's 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 leg to 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 would it be like this like would to pollute the should we say. and it isn't just facebook or twitter google is updating a special algorithm in order to fight misinformation after the rise in mass shootings in the us we have developed algorithms that recognize that a bad event is taking place and that we should increase our notions of authority in groups the way to authority now ranking so that with service high quality content rather than misinformation in this critical time here the rising death toll from mass shootings comes after 14 incidents already this year 72 people have been killed mass shootings are classified as those with more than 4 fatalities however yet cohen 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 particularly because we know as a matter of fact the make up of google's employees is very specific they tend to lean towards $1.00 to $1.00 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 r.t. is peter out 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 younker 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 i'm glad miracle 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 would be unable to reach an agreement today which is that we've nominated for the very 1st time as the president of the european commission that is wonderland. 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 not so much a day in france to moments from the socialists would he be the next one he seemed almost anointed you know said particularly those from central and eastern europe we have seen this 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 with saying he was far from happy with it this despite this. rockey lead in to these nominations then all to 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 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 $751.00 that's the number of m.p. any peace that will be voting in the european parliament to decide if those live on the line becomes the next commission president but the m.e. piece 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 they were going to stage a little protest while ode to joy the anthem of the european union was being played in the chamber they decided to do this. it's a very strange situation because it would start all the british an abuse of do smallman

. we don't know if they will be and be soon one year time to look at all the if they will look. they will withdraw from the parliament in indicators of the bracks it's absolutely and finally so it's a very difficult situation for the parliament for being commissioned so you have been a member of commissions on i'm nobody not 6 actually what we have to. the british home office has sparked outrage after insisting that nigerian women trafficked to the u.k. to walk as prostitutes can enjoy a wealthy life may return to africa in the wake of the scandal to him up a south will now rewrite the advice charlotte depends reports. it's been described as at a 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 new 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 people they were turned home there is also the risk of violent price the u.n. 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 the issues are faced by the thousands of people who are trafficked from my injury to the u.k. if one of destitution they are brought by traffickers to have a copy of their free will and imply that on the return back home they'll be welcomed back with open arms and community of the hardworking people it is difficult to return back there a cultural stigma of the few people. a minder a software mover because of the society in which religion plays a big part of it and you put aside by your family or even just leaving the community also show you i'm sure these are negative aspects of africa society i

mean which the home office doesn't seem to feel the 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 i'm 53 to 500 of them actually face actually the confession of fault from p.t.s.d. . a mental health issues over time but found me the local authorities and government itself did not have the required for the teachers 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 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. altie london. iran says it succeeded the times of the agreement meant to cup its nuclear program on the us president has reacted strongly more or not at all the news after the break.

big claim made hard money fashionable again and that halo effect spilled over to gold if it weren't for big oil there would be no current rally call. much of mushrooms used on some contexts used in the wrong way kerry kerry potential arms like any any psychoactive substance. but used in the right way they seem to have quite a. profound 32 potential quite so good safety noisome as well. as what politicians do something. to put themselves on the line they get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press this is what the 43 in the morning can't be good. interested always in the water using the. first sip. welcome back donald trump has said he would like to withdraw all u.s. troops from afghanistan heaving only enough to deliver what he dubbed strong intelligence. i would like to just get at the problem is it it just seems to be a lab for terrorists or seems to i call it the harvard of terrorists i would leave very strong intelligence there you have to watch their current iraq $9000.00 troops in afghanistan over the last 18 years that the us has lost thousands of possible i

mean a trillion dollars on to walk to best on iraq veteran. and believes that little reason remains a continued american presence. the u.s. doesn't actually really have any influence in afghanistan i am majority of you have got a status to trial by taleban and. so the u.s. forces there is literally just being present there for military industrial complex some contracts for different ideological reasons of different hawks who are in these administration and the administration of a bomb we're not going to stray sions that came before us so yeah i mean i i hope i hope the us pulls out a book aniston and i hope they find means to figure things out but then the question stands as well like well what what happens what happens afterwards are we going to we're going to assist the afghan government in any way of trying to rebuild it and provide the necessary its services in the country for people to try

try to recover from from the damage that the soviets inflicted as well as united states military inflicted in the past while it's been 80 years i mean that's pretty crazy i mean 18 years. and sticking with. the u.s. president donald trump has lashed out at iran offered exceeded the amount of no enriched uranium for allowed to stockpile the 2015. minute of it as i have been informed iran has crossed the 300 kilogram limit but based on his earlier we had an ounce. our plan to exceed the limits therefore based on our previous announcement we made it clear warts we were going to do we see it as a right based on the disappear way. they know what to do with you know what they're playing with i think they're playing with fire. the trumpet ministration has filed 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 quote seriously he also said the mate to richmond was justified by the fact that america pulled out of the nuclear deal the u.n. nuclear watchdog has since confirmed that iran has breached its limit under the agreement it's the latest twist in iran to 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 apologize if i believe that given the operating environment captain rogers acted reasonably and did what his nation expected of him this regrettable accident and it was an accident was a byproduct of the iran iraq war and saddened all americans and if past presidents are anything to go by to rand shouldn't hold its breath i'll never apologize for the united states of america ever i don't care what the facts are still ready to reconcile iran helped organize the release of u.s. hostages in lebanon but this goodwill gesture wasn't reciprocated by 995 even harsher u.s. sanctions were being lined up for iran i am formally announcing my intention to cut off all trade and investment with iran the 2nd round of reproach men came shortly after 911 i was. born.

and. as a human as a muslim and as an iranian for you to once again express my deepest sympathies we define. and beat all the great american people across candlelight vigils were held to mourn the victims but the diplomatic progress didn't last long 4 months later came president bush's axis of evil speech which included iran this is a rich. that has something to hide from the civilized world. states like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil. finally in. iran signed a deal with the international community including the us agreeing not to pursue nuclear weapons united states together or international partners has achieved

something the decades of animosity as not a comprehensive long term deal with iran will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon it was celebrates a short lived. deal by donald trump he walked away without any confirmation to iran 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 tehran otherwise there 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 their former deal and this shows of their be reimposed 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 iran

even 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 rules cutting creep production or minister has announced after talks with the group but oil producing organization agreed to extend production cuts for other member states for another 9 months we spoke with monte an international oil economist he says the deal is a needed boost for fraud child market. however iran was anxious by the fact that it played nor all of this agree about it and in fact it was russia leading the and none open on producers and saudi arabia the leader of our great mood reach agreement outside opec before they come to the meeting they have been calming iran to accept the extension

and iran accepted it although its production or love to be affected says it is exempt from the production cut agreement the extension of the approach that change is m.s.'s city to ensure that oil prices started to rise again but a particularly if there is a breakthrough in the trade wars. we cross now to libya where about 40 people have been killed and 80 others wounded in an ass strike on a migrant tention facility near the capital tripoli that's according to a local health official a warning you might find the following pictures to stopping to jura where the strike happened is home to several military camps or forces allied to libya's internationally recognized government there is so far no one on who may have carried out the attack opposition general kony for have to launch an offensive to
