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. employ of a foreign service is you know we 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 are 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. says he's spoken to the saudi monarch about the deadly event and was told the shooter does not represent the true feelings of the saudi people have for the united states. king solomon of saudi arabia just called to express a sincere condolences and give his sympathies to the families and friends of the warriors 'd who were killed and wounded in the attack thinkings said that the saudi people have 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 to say that if it was another country that president trump had not did 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
3:04 pm
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 trumps close supporters in congress matt gates is calling this terrorism could complicate things a bit for for the president. it's been a tense saturday in the french capital has strikes against plans to hold the pension system continued for the 3rd day in a row. i. 2 repeated massive nationwide demonstrations since thursday i can schools hospitals and public transport officers used tear gas to disperse the crowds with the most violent rallies occurring in paris where reports suggest that around a 1000000 been involved in the strike action since it began the protests have also been happening against rising fuel taxes with 10 major motorways blocked off by

trucks causing huge traffic disruption. north korea's u.n. envoy signal that the country won't go ahead with washington's plan to make it denuclearize or saying extended talks with the united states are not needed and simply a trick for the americans to show the donald trump is putting in the hard miles we do not need to have lengthy talks with the us now in denuclearization is already off the negotiating table we have the most powerful military we've ever had and we are by far the most powerful country in the world and hopefully we don't have to use it but if we do we will use it north korea strongest warning yet over its nuclear program comes as the united states and south korea kick start talks on diplomacy building with pyongyang tensions are building with america threatening more sanctions early next year north korea's called on washington to rethink its policy of demanding unilateral changes donald trump and kim jong un have met 3 times since june 28th talks have made little progress last hour former u.s.
3:06 pm
diplomat jim jatra told me he thinks trumps chances of a breakthrough on north korea are fading. the words come to mind one is dangerous and the other the other one is sad to dangerous because it seems we're getting back to the kind of nuclear brinksmanship that we saw maybe in 2017 sad because i think that president trump really wanted to as he says make a deal that he he thought he could break the deadlock with a personal relationship with chairman kim he was undermined by his own appointee as a resort especially in the hanoi summit which crashed because people like john bolton according to all of the reports insisted that the north must denuclearize as a 1st step toward anything and of course that that was it was that was designed to be a dead end let's keep in mind of course trump is under impeachment threat here at home he has very little room for maneuver almost anything he does somebody accuses him of being a traitor he cannot make concessions to north korea no no i think north korea's new
3:07 pm
position where they will not make any concessions the united states basically controls his mouth and his twitter of bombs and that's about it and he cannot deliver on whatever it is he might have wanted to do based on what he said in 2016 and i think we're looking at a very very dangerous world coming. from a facebook content moderators taking the company to co-author alleging that he developed post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of his what he claims that watching hundreds of violent and shocking videos every day without having received proper training has left him psychologically scarred that holkins takes up a story but be aware that there is discussion about graphic content. 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
3:08 pm
me seeing beastie ality 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 so over 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 are 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 because i work for. are a little over. what's going on. most of our. former employees claim
3:09 pm
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 and you 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 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
3:10 pm
to graphic material as much as possible but 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 doesn't come soon enough for those taking a giant to court. as christmas approaches there are all kinds of festive goodies packing the shelves adding to it all a cold comic created a seasonal card with what they thought was a pinch of humor the card depicts a grandfather who has alzheimer's disease being removed from content and this is an . armed utterly inappropriate and actively damaging to do while you represent
3:11 pm
people living with dementia. so did the card go over the line or is offense taken far too easily these days we talk about with the british equality law specialist linda bell awesome new guitars from the online political magazine spike. we have experienced a slight overreaction i think what we need to understand is that this is a card which is by modern toss and if you know about modern toss the cartoonists 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
3:12 pm
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 without simon's 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 then the whole of course who rape or this list the number of things that could be if you were using this logic for me. must say that i am lucky the question is where the site of the human lies now are the subjects that you just listed have been used as topics for comedy but comedians have to be very
3:13 pm
careful as to where they situate they seem or it would not be funny to make a joke merely the expense of the victims of the holocaust or victims of rape but there. 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 will you all or your husband. have a condition like what our time has what you're dealing with is very very difficult and it's not worthy of a joke. indeed police have shot dead 4 men accused of the gang rape and murder of a young vet in the south of the country last month the atrocities sparked widespread demonstrations with calls for them to be lynched more rights groups are accusing the police officers who shot the suspects of carrying out extrajudicial killings.

i'm sorry but she was on her way to see a doctor when a stranger approach to tell her that her speech is strong it was punctured all because she then called a system not home to which i might vote for the switch. and then take. the offer. to put me on police actions were justified. to killers can be punishment god then we are happy. to be at the moment.

around the world in a single season. to be completely honest this whole project wasn't about me or about name or frame or that there wasn't any greedy or there was any selfishness about this pause again and i 100 percent believe in this because. just to give an example while i was in a special forces i had already 3 world records so that people didn't know about it since i had to save someone's life on everest and that's when i climb on my leave. and nobody knew about it so i was just so happy we all that but dispose it was about to start. in perception of human potential in parallel with that in a home of a 1000 meter prick and i don't feel like the climbing community over there got the right recognition they deserve so obviously this project you know highlight in the name of that it was glamorous as well speaking of the teammates you are going away

easier living in a failed state news about power outages in california brought this home obviously he's doing it with the power walls and solar roofs but not just those during the electric power outages the gas stations couldn't pump gas but someone with a tesla car could recharge from their power wall so 3 technologies for a failed state but there's another cheap rocket launchers from space x. do you see the relevance to failed states let's talk about america america is a country of rugged individualists i'm an individual sovereignty we all have our sovereignty as americans and ilan lusk is a prototypical american hero because he's giving people back in this country what they deserve and are entitled to by birth and that is individual sovereignty to have their own power their own car their own vehicle completely autonomous from the state autonomy from the state you don't need the federal gov. the federal
3:29 pm
government is a luxury that exists at our for our amusement essentially and our consent and our consent and right there's nothing central about it you have local government and state government you know they need that to some degree but you don't need anything more than access to the sun a solar powered vehicle energy powered vehicle electric battery powered vehicle and the technologies developed by a law must be law musk is a guy who's been to the abyss and back you know he made billions of dollars as a young man and he saw the future probably in some drug induced hazy kind of vision hallucination and he's come back from the future to deliver us americans to a state of our natural existence of individual sovereignty while all primates of course have evolved from south africa that's where all the great experiments and humankind has come from and it makes sense that he would be from south africa here
3:30 pm
in america to rescue us from our primitive ways that will kill us if we don't evolve and marginal revolution points out some of the other you know technologies he's developing on why they're so important to an individual and to a society how you can protect yourself solar panels plus the tesla give you mobility even if saudi arabia goes up in smoke and world shipping lines are shut down i mean that's how our federal government says our national governments and these giant militaries keep us in line they say well if you don't have us then saudi arabia's oil might not get to you and there's going to be apocalypse and you're never going to be able to get to wal-mart to buy your goods well here they're saying if you have solar power panels at your home and fresh water and things like that you can you can survive any of that stuff but i would talk about dig a little ization dollars asian right so this is a clue clearly dig level is ation on a micro level in this.
