what he's called the highest ever level of sanctions on around in the wake of the strikes on the sympathies of the weekend yet in washington could have hit the country with 15 strikes of its own but instead chose restraint. i did see crisis facebook claims it's a publisher not just the platform in a legal case that could have a major impact on what's posted on some. of the major international military exercise in central russia enters its final stage with china and india among those taking.

place for joining us as we bring you right up to date with today's top stories this is r.t. and. further sanctions on iran in the wake of the strikes on saudi aramco facilities last week the new restrictions they target iran central bank. these are the highest sanctions ever imposed on a country never done it to this level and it's too bad what's happening with the rand it's going to hell now trump is calling it the highest level of sanctions ever imposed against the islamic republic of iran now the sanctions are being imposed in response to the recent attack against any aramco oil facility saudi arabia says that iran is to blame for the attack now iran vehemently denies that they are responsible says that they did not carry out this attack and this is a deception from saudi arabia interestingly who is the forces in yemen have claimed

responsibility for the attack but saudi arabia says it doubts that the who the forces have the capability of carrying out such a strike now there was some anticipation of a possible military response from the united states but now donald trump has come forward and said that there will be an escalation of sanctions against iran this highest level of sanctions that sanctions imposed on iran's national bank but not a military response this is donald trump speaking to journalists easiest thing i could do if i could do it while you're here which say go ahead fellows going to knock out 15 different major things in around i could do that and all set to go it's all set to go but i think the strong persons approach and the thing that does show strength would be showing a little bit of restraint now while saudi arabia maintains they are sure that it is iran was responsible on thursday we heard from the pentagon and they said they are still investigating and haven't come to solid conclusions let yet this is the u.s.

department of defense our position on this has been we're going to work through with the saudis as they make their assessment of what took place so we're going to work with them but we're going to allow the saudis to make the declarations on where they believe the attacks came from and the ultimate responsibility unlike the pentagon mike pompei o who is. on a regional visit to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates said he is sure iran was responsible. to gather any new evidence that shows who is behind the attacks and do you think it is slam dunk case to bring to the u.n. next week. i think it's abundantly clear and there is an enormous consensus in the region that we know precisely who conducted these attacks was iran i didn't hear anybody in the region who doubted that for a single mom so it seems there is no hard evidence and rather than waiting for the

u.n. team to come to a conclusion after investigating it seems the united states has responded by taking these actions against iran and imposing these new sanctions despite the fact that no hard evidence seems to be presented and that the u.n. team has not concluded its investigation and has not reached any conclusions about who is responsible now it's also important to point out that iran has reacted saying that it will offer a response to the u.s. plots. at least analyst joins me on the line i welcome as we've just heard the u.s. is talking around central bank with these latest sanctions what effect will that have do you think. well these sanctions new sanctions are largely symbolic iran is already under the hammer of various financial and other u.s.

sanctions so in terms of practical effects. the result will be minimal. on the other hand president trump has twined this new sanctions with hands of meter the action against iran and he is rattling the saber and is a great deal of media jingoism in america. these days with calls for some sort of retaliation against iran despite the fact that so far u.s. has not provided any credible evidence to incriminate iran on this matter and despite what we just heard from secretary pompei or there is no evidence that has convinced anyone in the international community japanese defense minister just this the other day said that we have not received any evidence showing that these

attacks came from iran in fact most most likely came from the who thief and you know similar statements from various european officials etc so instead of providing proof yourself put the cart before the horse 1st indicting iran and you know labeling it as as basically criminal and then fishing for evidence which has not been forthcoming and it's very curious that with all that sophisticated patriot missile et cetera there is no radar evidence of where these so-called you know missile attacks originated there are speculations that they may be self-inflicted. because the saudis who are a long time how wanted to use the us proxy in a war against iran in order to exercise unilateral hedge emani throughout the

persian gulf region so maybe they're trying to get their wishes granted after all these years we don't know there's a lot of unknown about this matter what we do know for sure is that there's a great deal of war mongering going on just a couple of days after president trumped this mysterious how kish national security advisor john bolton and you know showing some gestures an olive branch of hinting that he is leaning in the direction our microphones idea of giving credit assistance to iran and lowering the sanctions then this thing happens which had made the saudis very jittery so it's possible that president trump is allowing him self to be played by the saudis and he needs to be very careful because the consequences could be very dire for both the u.s. and its allies in the region and it could if there is a war it would be a lose lose scenario for both sides i'm just talking very briefly if you could

about the possible military action trump said going into iran would be a very easy decision typical hyperbole from the president very very easy easy thing he said would it be in any way easy. well you know we also are hearing reports that you know the pentagon is furnishing various options for military strikes against iran and president trump is escalating israel wreaking iraq against iran incrementally and they're also preparing the national mood for you know some sort of attack on iran so the possibility of war against iran has become more imminent and you know this is a danger for international peace and security that we need to be very wary of because this is a reenactment of the lead up to the. iraq war we're

seeing where a simulation an against by the western superpower and its allies with all these the state settings in order to prepare the ground war who are another war of choice not of necessity and you know despite the lack of evidence a lot of contradictory statements and so on nonetheless this war drums against iran are being being heard loud and clear in the u.s. these days and you know the rest of the international community must be very vigilant to prevent a reoccurrence of another calamitous iraq war this time against iran as police analyst cover for silva thank you. in other news facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg has met with the president on trumped the social media platforms chiefs looking to defend his company amid mounting criticism over privacy issues

and data protection in a recent legal case facebook claimed it is a publisher and is therefore allowed to ban whoever it wants potentially though that would also make it liable for what goes out on its platform responsibility it's previously been trying to dodge that he said take a look at the potential ramifications sure why don't we go out here. that's better. plaintive ultra right web activist laura loom or who was taken off pretty much all major online platforms defendant facebook one of the giants which kicked her out we carefully flicked through these court papers which the defendant filed to try and bury the lawsuit and here's what really caught the eye. to the extent miss lewis claimed targets facebook's decision to deactivate her accounts it is also deficient on the well established law made to facebook nor any other publisher can be liable for failing to publish someone else's message 1st amendment

provides absolute protection for such decisions what was it again neither facebook nor any other publisher protection by the 1st amendment so in this particular case the lawyers of sucking co are happy to legally refer to their social network as up publisher digging a bit deeper will reveal facebook has done that in the past as well when last year an app startup was crossing swords with facebook in court this is what came from the network spent the thought discretion is if 3 speech rights are respected what technological means is used so is it just me or something's wrong with how the platform we use every day identifies itself because when facebook bosses take questions in other places it seems they always try to distance themselves from the notion publisher which are you are you a tech company or are you the world's largest publisher because i think that goes

to a really important question on what form of regulation or government action if any we would take. senator this is. a really big question i view us as a tech company because the primary thing that we do is build technology and products as your sponsor for your content which make exactly on of a publisher. well i agree that we're responsible for the content but we don't produce the content and that's been the message for quite a while. we are a tech company not a media company. i do think we have to be the publisher and we definitely don't want to be the arbiter of the truth now just imagine what kind of legal trouble the tech giant may put itself in if it becomes universally recognized the company mr zuckerberg is running is a publisher not just a tech platform are they really ready to be responsible for anything disturbing or

outright criminal that gets posted under the blue logo the examples have been out there in abundance. the way or what if simply someone decides to lawyer and bully me with all kinds of offensive stuff right on facebook should i then also follow defamation suit against the network because they as a publisher alloted it's well known you can have a cake and eat it at the same time or probably what's your last name a sucker berg. ok we did facebook comment on the story when we get a response will bring it straight to you in the mean time legal analyst on he did share his opinion. what is facebook now when mark zuckerberg spoke before congress he said we're just

a tech company i just make the platform available for people to say what they were on to i have not publishing i don't put out of pinions i'm just like a billboard in cats the way people get around the idea of of perhaps allowing defamatory or libelous statements and the like now they're saying we're publishers we have the right to have anybody on that we want well if you're a publisher under defamation law libel law you can be held accountable and liable so for the longest time facebook push trying to have it both ways if i'm on a t.v. station and i say something defamatory about you or organisation the t.v. station the magazine they're liable to because they broadcast it they put this libelous statement out so what's it going to be facebook do you want the liability

that comes with being a publisher or do you want to just merely be a tech platform and if you want to be just a tech platform here have to make up your mind because you can't limit speech you can't act like a publisher unless you are a publisher and russia is hosting a lot scale military exercise with chinese and indian forces involved to bring you that story and do this after this break. the process for constructing this was to imprint as a biodegradable scaffold which is poor and when this is inserted beliefs the skin when the skin is suctioned over the scaffold over a period of about 6 months you have to shoot in growth and invest in occurring in other words the cells in your in your body grow into the scaffold it grows its own

blood supply so now this is surely integrated as part of my on it's own living part of my own. making of interest rates are telegraphing a drop in population if you look at forced himself from the present to feed the body's game that means you've got this generation will have to be sacrificed and so you know humans have not really psychologically evolved from the days or lead just outright. children for their gods or their books or a generation see the policy gods. welcome back millions of people around the world are taking part in a so called climate strike calling for urgent action to slash greenhouse gas

emissions all the 5000 events are being held globally from sydney to new delhi the largest event is taking place in new york the city will be hosting the un climate action summit over the weekend and demonstrates is the region world leaders to take immediate action to prevent world they are calling a global catastrophe that for many people going green is easier said than done as an american news network found out. every day and one stop because it's good i run my air conditioner 24 seventh's i'm not going to sweat to peace this climate of being scared of the dark comes with energy use consequences i just don't care about and hopefully i do plastic straws and i cannot lie as many as i can get before i die in such straits sotto with with

me yes i mean. these concession speeches by n.b.c. news about how he supposedly contribute to trying to change isn't so easy to meet he must confess his plastic confess drive a car confess there is a list of scenes climate change is a religion. and i guess not joined by his written several books about climate change claiming that humans are not responsible for global warming is also has a pasting in climatology. welcome to you can hear me 1st of all how do you make of these global protests now that you're seeing today is saying. that is total child abuse using a 16 year old to appear before the u.n.

on a subject she knows nothing about to influence the world on climate change is child abuse and i have all the children out there being told that they've only got 12 years left is further child abuse it's the most disgusting thing i've ever seen and as i said if. it's really frightening and the adult should be held accountable for what they're doing what do you say though. that climate change is real and it's something we should be concerned about. well of course climate change is real that's like saying women have babies tell me something i don't know what isn't real is that humans are causing climate change or or before that humans didn't cause global warming either do we produce c o 2 of course we do but the amount we produce is so small relative to the total amount that taste completely insignificant and further c o 2 is only 4 percent of all the greenhouse gases nobody ever talks about water vapor which is 95 percent of the greenhouse gases they don't talk about that and

the reason they don't talk about it is because when the un intergovernmental panel on climate change was set up to investigate climate change the public were led to believe they were looking at all climate change they were not they were told to only look at human causes of climate change therefore their results were pre-determined the whole thing is the biggest scam in history so it seems everyone agrees that the rising levels assail of let me say it's not the human cost if that's the case what is causing it. to the sun but they don't look at the sun because humans don't that's not a part of human caused climate change but by using that definition they did they predetermine the outcome and the sun was part of it i mean if i say to most people c o 2 is only 4 percent of the greenhouse gases they don't know it most public don't know that and what further they don't know is that in the in all the records that we

have including the 800000 year antarctic ice core the temperature changes before the c o 2 in other words c o 2 is not driving temperature in any of the records that we have but that's a myth that's been created through the united nations if we put climate change the world side for a moment what about the police in itself destruction of natural habitats around the world would you say that we are dealing with a crisis in the situation. no i'm saying i would say that what we're dealing with is that humans are acting as an animal and are perfectly entitled to behave behave they way to the way we do if you look at a city and the way that you look at a beehive same thing now are can we define things as pollutants studies something that shouldn't be there or potentially harmful to our briefing yes but but to talk about global warming and climate changes as air pollution or ice pollution is another of the deceptions that was deliberately created. if you will the bigger

problem everybody always falls back on when you show them all the facts of the science being wrong they fall back on the overpopulation issue the world is not overpopulated by any stretch of the imagination and in fact the countries with their most wealthy and most successful and have the best living conditions have the highest populations in the world and you can look at netherlands has an example. appreciate you speaking to is my guest symbol public speaker right he has a ph d. in climatology thank you thank you. major international military exercise center 2019 that's well underway in addition to the host nations like china and india are also taking part to take cooperation between the neighbors to a new level in the face of ice a light terror threats among. putin as well as watching the maneuvers the president was also meeting his cagas counterpart.

this is a very loud press of spectacle the simulated food terrorists of predictably being beaten back in just a few meters away from us we have military observers from all over the world i counted at least a dozen nato badges watching the show watching the spectacle. with the present in the stands as well 20 meters away from us but there's a purpose to this isn't just a shoe for enjoyment to a spectacle this is an exercise to form a unity to form corporation between asian nations asian states threatened

by islamic radicalism and this is their effort to sort of get to get to know each other get to work together and even india and pakistan odds with each other open conflict working together here behind me as i reported earlier this story is radical islamist terrorists of come to power. simulated central asian republic they formed a quasi caliph that if you will and the mission is to stop them to prevent them from seizing any more territory they come into possession of advanced weapons and being belligerent towards participating nations and participating are 8 countries representing a good heart full of the world's population china india pakistan russia as well as for central asian republics their mission is to stop the terrorists and prevent them from taking any more territory to defend themselves the military contingent

representing those 8 nations amanda 128000 troops as well as 20000 vehicles and tanks of all time until or air defense missiles systems as well as 600 aircraft including drones the military exercises themselves are stretched over a 6 day period across a variety of different battlefields and today the grand crescendo the objective is to hold an enemy attack knock out their cruise missiles and at the end go on the offensive and crush them the point of these military exercises isn't to show off any participating nations to some degree will face the threat of radical extremism and the point of these war games is to make sure that if worst comes to worst and these people come to power that the participating nations can present a united front and to stop an enemy that has demonstrated its remorseless merciless

and capable of anything and the commander of the india entity division who came to observe the drill says he now expects more such events in the future. jake sais is being conducted by all the countries in coordination against the. common. element and challenges octet of them and such late things is a very good the promise of everybody has been very good if you wish that beyond of both agreeing to have 1st making says more and indeed i would be happy to participate in the text so you're watching out international appreciate company this saving us from a fun outing stay with us my colleague was on a local behave with updates enough that.
