one minute. 10 pm in sydney and 2 in the afternoon right here in moscow this saturday december the 7th welcome to our 2 international. a member of the saudi or 4 sons fatally shot 3 people and wounded 8 others are a u.s. naval base in the state of florida the f.b.i. has taken over the investigation there are believed to be looking into whether it is terror related the shooter was a saudi military training and was at the base to study aviation he was shot dead at the scene by officers on confirm reports suggest that the perpetrator published an anti american manifesto prior to the attack here's r t america correspondent molly barrios with more. the f.b.i.
6:02 am
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 for families for the navy family here there is some
6:03 am
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 will donald trump has spoken to the saudi monarch about the deadly event was told the shooter does not represent the true feelings that the saudi people have of for the u.s. . king solomon of saudi arabia just called to express our sincere condolences and give his sympathies to the families and friends of the warriors 'd who were killed and wounded in the attack thinkings and the saudi people who made me angry by the 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 trump will try to downplay the saudi role in this and that if it were yeah i think it's correct
6:04 am
to say that if there was another country that president trump 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 president drones close supporters in congress matt gates is calling this terrorism could complicate things a bit for for the president. ok moving the program on a former facebook content moderator is taking the company to court alleging that his work caused him to develop post-traumatic stress disorder he claims the psychological damage was caused by a few hundreds of violent and obscene videos every day without proper training and hawkins picks up that story. let's be honest we've all had one of those days at the
6:05 am
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 seen on video and it all escalated from there 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 and i before you my generation gets carried away things may
6:06 am
not be that bad to so let's not overreact. or a little. more . 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 anywhere i have to always look at it. you always see death every single day former employees allege of 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 of a claim they need facebook disagree but the job is tough they say and 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 systems seem to be a part of the solution but this hasn't come soon enough for those taking a giant to court. as christmas approaches there are all kinds of
6:08 am
festive goodies packing the shelves adding to it all one comic company created a seasonal order with what they thought was a pinch of humor the card picks a grandfather who has alzheimer's disease being removed from a christmas dinner scene after being accused of committing an obscene irked which he linked to his illness it may have been criticized in britain where more than half a 1000000 people live with the new generation of neurological condition. the content of this card is misinformed utterly inappropriate and actively damaging to the wider representing people living with dementia. so did the card go over the line or is offense taken far too easily these days to discuss we invited u.k. quality law specialist linda bell us a look get us from online political magazine spiked to the program. we have experienced a slight overreaction i think what we need to understand is that this is a card which is by more than a toss and if you know about modern toss the cartoonist's they specialize in using
6:09 am
crass and distorted expectations of what is expected of a particular situation i'm caricaturing them my father had alzheimer's 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 all 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 summers 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
6:10 am
about the holocaust should we i mean on the basis of what i just heard about justified then the whole of course who rape or this must the number of things that could be if you were using this logic talk funny. play than i and that the question is where the sight of the human lies now all 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 expenses. the victims of the holocaust or victims of rape but there are ways you can cross jokes in order to situate the humor away from people's vulnerability in my case it was my fault but when your you or your wife or your or your husband. have a condition like what alzheimer's what you are dealing with is very
6:11 am
very difficult and it's not worthy of a joke. indian police have shot dead the 4 men accused of the brutal gang rape and murder of a young vet in southern india last month the alleged atrocities sparked widespread demonstrations with calls for them to be lynched and executed while rights groups are accusing the police officers who shot the suspects of carrying out extra did just so killings. that's when the girl was on her way to see a doctor when a stranger approached to tell her that her scooter's trial was punctured she then called a sister to which mobile phone switched off. if. you

as much investment from countries around the world as possible so well as far as jobs is move a big 5 g. sic now china obviously is a huge and important market as well as a supplier of many range of particularly tronic goods 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 holloway so britain in a sense is caught in the bit of a pincer movement here wanting to boost trade with china on the one hand but a little nervous about this particular concern. with the 2020 presidential election campaigns spluttering to life an overwhelming majority of americans are tired of their nation being so divided according to

a new poll more than 90 percent of respondents said it's important to reduce political division in the country while 4 and 5 people said the political gridlock is a big problem and with out in mind it appears that the democrats are using some questionable tactics in their impeachment efforts against donald trump as a killer but the reports. time is running out and impeachment tasks are coming to dead ends time for the democrats to roll out 2020 alexion zz 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 old let's review 2016 1st don't take your rivals seriously or even acknowledge that

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 guy's bad. around the world for more news in brief this sunday protest torn iraq 1st where at least 15 people have been killed in a military scores more were injured when gunmen in cars opened fire on protesters in the capital the shooting followed a showdown between demonstrators and security forces near the country's government hub over 400 people have been killed since october in until government protest violence. let's bring it to greece as well where a run to 80 have been detained after clashes between protesters and riot police in
