i. it's not in moscow time headline this morning 3 people are left dead after a saudi air force trainees opened fire at a u.s. naval base in florida authorities are investigating whether the incident was terror related. but majority of americans it seems want less political division in the country according to a new poll while some democrats are already lining up more impeach trouble for donald trump if he does win in 2020. people in the u.k. fail to see the funny side of a christmas card poking fun at old son must suffer. there are ways you can craft jokes in order to situate humor away from people's vulnerability my partner had alzheimer's before he died. and i funny ever.

and ever good morning welcome to the program such as a 7th of december here in moscow is kevin owen delighted you chose news for news update this weekend so 1st this hour a member of the saudi air force was fatally shot 3 people and wounded 8 others at a u.s. naval base in the state of florida unconfirmed reports suggest the perpetrator published an anti america manifesto prior to the attack says he's spoken to the saudi monarch about what's happened. king solomon of saudi arabia just called to express their sincere condolences and give his sympathies to the families and friends of the warriors 'd who were killed in order that the attack that took place in pensacola florida. thinking that the saudi people are very angered by the above very actions of the shooter and that this person in no way shape or form represents

the feelings of the saudi people who love the american people so much the shooter shot dead seen by offices he was a saudi military trainee was at the base to study aviation says we just heard the u.s. naval air station pensacola which is located on the florida coast it's got 16000 military over 7000 civilian personnel vicinity host many international students who are required to undergo background checks before training is r.t. america contributor molly barrows with more. the f.b.i. is now taking the lead on this which is interesting because a saudi national florida governor on the santas though told reporters that the saudi arabian government needs to make things better quote unquote for the victims one of the things that i talk to the president about is given that this was a foreign national in the employ of a foreign service is you know be time to do this but obviously the government of saudi arabia needs to to make make things better for these victims naval air

station pensacola bay security and local law enforcement got the call that there was an active shooter on the base local sheriff's deputies were among the 1st to respond and they're reporting that the shooting happened in a classroom building on the base covering 2 floors it's had a huge impact on the pensacola community this is a military town this base is the heart of this community and many many waves a lot of people either had relatives that were enlisted or they work for the base this has been a very very difficult day for us for our families for the navy family here there is some real heroism today this is the 2nd shooting at a navy base in 3 days there was one at the joint base pearl harbor heckman on wednesday a sailor opened fire there killed 2 other shipyard workers before killing himself they don't have that motive as well but it's all in their investigation just foreign policy executive director eric sperling believes the truck will have to try to downplay the saudi arabia connection in the incident. trump will try to downplay

the saudi role in this and that if it were yeah i think it's correct to say that if there was another country that president had not does not have such close ties with he would be strongly denouncing this as something he may even you could imagine trump seeking to cut off ties with the country if it was a different foreign national you could very well see him impulsively taking action to dramatically change relations so but the fact that one of his presidential is close supporters in congress matt gates is calling this terrorism could complicate things a bit for for the president. for the 2020 presidential election campaign spluttering to life an overwhelming majority of americans are saying that they are tired of the nation being so divided these days according to a new poll more than 90 percent of respondents said it's important to reduce political division in the country or more than 80 percent said the political

gridlock is a big problem with that in mind it seems that the democrats are using some questionable tactics other than pictures of the efforts ongoing against donald trump caleb maupin reports. time is running out and impeachment paths are coming to a dead end it's time for the democrats to roll out 2020 alexion is plan b. there is no limit on the number of times the senate can vote to convict or not a president no limit to the number of times the house can vote to impeach or not a president if the senate doesn't vote to convict trump or tries to monkey with his trial he could of course be retried in the new senate should he win reelection so if that doesn't work perhaps they can rely on the tried and trusted tactics of all let's review 2016 1st don't take your rival seriously or even acknowledge that they have a chance i'm very excited that the progress that secretary clinton is making i know she'll win and then the actual actions. trump is not going to be president of the

united states i continue to believe mr trump will not be present to the trump tower celebrations don't focus on summing up your errors or what you could learn or adjusting your message instead focus on intense legal maneuvers to try and impeach the president as well as shifting the blame to moscow i rise today mr speaker. to call for the impeachment of the president of the united states of america talking about a president who fired the f.b.i. director who was investigating the president for his connections to russian involvement in the presidential election and of playing the russia card doesn't work draw another card out of the pack ukraine he colluded with the craniums we were just a few miles off today announcing the house of representatives moving full hook was an official impeachment inquiry and if that doesn't work just try to do it over and

over and over again it's bound to catch on eventually if you can impeachment proceedings now against this president i believe congress should take the steps towards impeachment you could reach in a bag and pull so many things out that are impeachable of this president he is in water where he has got to move as quickly as possible now these tactics certainly look like they're failing politics is about different ideas competing ideas here's where i draw the line if you start using non political means to achieve a political goal you've crossed the line of the d.n.c. has pushed the idea that your political views are now part of your fundamental identity instead of seeing the other side as someone that that you disagree with the opposing political side is seen as an absolute evil what we're seeing over here is somebody who is they are people who are saying that they want less divisiveness but a lot of times especially professional politics that's just code for if you don't

agree with me don't speak i think it when your entire policy is based of all opposing somebody else. after a very short period of time you start to look like you don't have any ideas of your own you have no vision of your own except for that bad guys bad. form of facebook moderators taking the computer cool and. with his work caused him to develop post-traumatic stress disorder he claims the psychological damage was caused by having to view hundreds of violent and obscene videos each and every day that any proper training done in hawkins takes up the story. let's be honest we've all had one of those days at the office most of us have probably experienced stress but some jobs can make things much worse apparently being a social media moderator could be one of them my 1st day on the job i witnessed someone being beaten to death with a plank of wood with males in it and repeatedly stabbed day 2 was the 1st time for me seeing beastie ality on video and it all as school as you from the i've had to

go on antidepressants because of working on the job at times i was solving my problems with alcohol to get to sleep because at least i wasn't dreaming when i slipped after having a few drinks on me our diagnosis of p.t.s.d. is something you'd expect after tours of duty in a war zone working in the emergency services perhaps but not from a desk job yet after months working for c.p.l. solutions a 3rd party company providing moderation services for facebook as many as a dozen former employees are suing both companies for what they claim is psychological trauma well before you my generation gets carried away things may not be that bad to so let's not overreact and is a report. or a little over do you have understand. what's going on that most people are. not a lot but former employees claim a different picture while the lawsuits are new the problem is not and anyone would

think twice before applying for the role off to seeing this job feedback i have seen videos of a baby sitter choking a toddler to death in the giving bloody noses to baby anyone i have to always look at it. you always see death every single day former employees allege a climate of pressure hitting high video targets hundreds per day while maintaining pinpoint accuracy little time to make decisions and action plans for getting them wrong and even less opportunity to get the support and counseling they claim they need facebook disagree the job is tough they say moderators get good training and full support at work this includes 247 on site support with trained practitioners and on call service and access to private health care from the 1st day of employment we are also employing technical solutions to limit their exposure to graphic material as much as possible of the trouble is facebook are between

a rock and a hard place they've been criticized for years from failing to do more to prevent genocide and being too slow to stop streams of mass murder to allowing violent posts and not tackling fake news which lead to violence in recent years facebook's hired tens of thousands more staff to deal with increases in violent content ai and automated system seem to be a part of the solution but this doesn't come soon enough for those taking a giant to court it is worker abuse they are abusing their workers regularly they can't. nor do i think they can or will regulate. the only player to keep those of workers to a minimum in. training to a minimum and they were working. as it is now not to a minimum so they are trying to make

a profit and they are not really concerned with. a log community the larger social body right now. many. people who or so can't in modern. raters but it's not a lot of to actually regulate the well there's all. laws who represents is a question of bell whether a vase book should remain a privately held or company all or 'd is that invert a public utility which should be regulated by the government. as christmas approaches there are all kinds of festive goodies back in the shelves of course but i think about right now one comic companies created a seasonal card with a pinch of what they thought was humor but it's been heavily criticized in britain for mocking people without simas where there are more than half a 1000000 in the u.k.

who have to live with a disease the content of this card is misinformed utterly inappropriate and actively damaging to the wider representations of people living with dementia the card now removed from one website depicts a grandfather who has the disease being removed from christmas dinner accused of committing an obscene act linking it to his illness online shopping giant amazon was one of the 1st to stop selling it after serious concerns are put forward by the l some a society charity in the u.k. . we have experienced a slight overreaction i think what we need to understand is that this is a car which is by modern toss and if you know about modern toss the cartoonist's they specialize in using crass and distorted expectations of what is expected of a particular situation i'm caricaturing them my father had families before he died . and i didn't find it funny ever there were amusing things

that he was able to share and. if only we if we had a cure for alzheimer's i suspect we might relax a little but even funny taking it off for sale fails to recognize that people are complicated based there may well be people who are living without simers or a family suffering with outsiders out there who are fans of modern toss and will nonetheless get the joke and find it funny and i think by taking out the sail by and with the outside society pretending that everyone who has an interaction with outside this thinks the same way i think we're slightly underestimating people's capacity to find humor in even the most black and dark situations do we make jokes about the holocaust should we i mean on the basis of what i just heard about justified 6 then the whole of course who rape or this list the number of things that could be if you were using this logic work for me. must

say that i am lucky the question is where the site of the human lies now the subjects that you just listed have been used as stock topics for comedy but comedians have to be very careful as to where they situate their humor it would not be funny to make a joke merely the expense of the victims of the holocaust or victims of rape but there are ways you can craft jokes in order to situate the humor away from people's vulnerability in my case it was my father but when your your your wife who you or your husband. a condition like. alzheimer's what you are dealing with is very very difficult and it's not worth the other junk 24 hours a day this is about international law from russia thanks for choosing us 915 here moscow up next the people you see in the spotted with a well way smartphone despite security concerns surrounding the chinese for talk about that.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of

the world of politics or business i'm sure business i'll see you then. again morning welcome to the weekend well next as hussein before the break i'm going speculation about whether tech giant well way will play a pivotal role in the u.k. 5 g. plans are back in focus this saturday prime minister boris johnson was spotted taking a photo using one of the chinese firm smartphones just days after talking about security concerns surrounding the company but its close ally the u.s. has already placed harsh trade restrictions on while a washington previously suggested to that the so-called 5 eyes international intelligence coalition between america the u.k.

canada australia new zealand would be at risk if london gives china a role in its 5 g. infrastructure well he's been constantly accused of links to the chinese government something it constantly continues to deny shoddy edwards dusty reports. while way a massive distributor forcing its way into the west tech industry and shaking up relations between china europe and america when it comes to trade security and surveillance telecom giant vodafone found security flaws in one way british intelligence post in that building behind me has warned of serious risks to you carry operators while we can create a back toward china for years it and the chinese government have been accused of intellectual property theft a number of reasons why they say huawei it is not to be trusted the u.k. prime minister boris johnson is trying to strike a balance when it comes to wall way in its 5 g. network or huawei and 5 g. . i don't want this country to be unnecessarily hostile to investment from from

overseas on the other hand we cannot produce all vital national security interest but a day later boris johnson calls instead when he visited the set of a british morning television show that's not selfies with the 2 hosts using. the television host said that the phone belonged to boris johnson leading to some to speculate whether the fact the prime minister uses a chinese model represents some sort of security vulnerability however johnson's a it's sad that the phone was borrowed from staffers and casually put into his very own pocket but whatever the truth is while they vote mind the extra free public sphere tool and they and other chinese firms are making quite great strides in western markets as for november this year huawei has become the 3rd most popular phone in the u.k. with almost 10 percent of the market share with the u.k. planning of course to leave the european union all attention will turn to securing

as much investment from countries around the world as possible so well as far as jobs is move a big 5 g. signal china obviously is it is a huge and important market as well as a supply of. many range of particular lek tronic goods and particularly if briggs it is going to go ahead then certainly britain will be seeking to increase trade with china and the chinese have made it very clear that if that is going to be the case then they cannot exclude hallway so britain in a sense is caught in a bit of a pincer movement here wanting to boost trade with china on the one hand but a little nervous about this particular concern. in hong kong authorities there have given the go ahead now to what could be the 1st major rally in the chinese territory since pro-democracy camp scored that landslide victory in last month's local elections place of war though that they will not tolerate any violence and

the balls and the hold the line and. more self control on the face of radical violence. last month police claim to have discovered around $4000.00 molotov cocktails. hong kong polytechnic university which had become a focal point of the unrest a further 1000 explosive devices were also found as well as hundreds of other weapons protesters on their part so that police used excessive force and they had to fight but they say they pledge to keep the upcoming rally peaceful avoiding direct contact with law enforcement because protests a bit of background just to recap for you began in response to that proposed extradition laws and gradually morphed into a movement calling for election reforms demonstrators have also been demanding an inquiry into allegations of police brutality along the way political commentator underhill chick believes that despite the violence offices have been exercising restraint. pongo police has. been like in much stronger way because.

protests recovering riots holy call that are becoming life threatening some people died or that i don't really believe in one second of the police brutality in hong kong i'm talking to you from some get a chill and i bought 2 hours ago i learned through bolivia so i saw what the real violence. in homegrown police is actually receiving it is the rioters who are using extreme violence this is all getting in or plaited it's basically the west is trying to harm china just possible chinese authorities are very cautious because they know that all this is done in order to provoke the ones they have provoked once they interfere that there will be enormous backlash from the united states and from the european union calling china that will grab what if this political game these protests are basically about to be you know ejected to hong
