8:01 pm
live from studio where it's just a minute past 4 in the morning you're watching artie international with me whereas on a lot good welcome to the program. and the member of the saudi air force fatally shot 3 people and wounded 8 others at a u.s. naval base in the state of florida on friday the f.b.i. is investigating examining whether it was terror related the shooter was a saudi military trainee and was at the base to study aviation he was shot dead at the scene by officers and unconfirmed reports suggest the perpetrator published an anti american manifesto prior to the attack his r.t. america contributor molly barrows. 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
8:02 pm
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 there 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's 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
8:03 pm
they don't have that motive as well but it's all in their investigation. says he's spoken to the saudi monica about the deadly event and was told the shooter does not represent the true feelings that 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 who made me angry by the above that he is 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 does not have such close ties with he would be strongly denouncing this as something he may even you could imagine trump seeking
8:04 pm
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. it's been a tense saturday in the french capital as strikes against plans to overhaul the pension system continued for the thing that day in a row. 2. there have been massive nationwide demonstrations since thursday affecting schools hospitals and public transport offices used to take out the 1st crowds with the most violent rage occurring in paris by reports suggest around a 1000000 have been involved in the strike since it began protests also happening against rising fuel taxes with 10 major motorists blocked off by trucks those huge
8:05 pm
traffic disruptions is what people are saying on the streets of paris. it was that mccrone a stubborn that he's heading straight for the wall with this completely unfair pension reform which will once again penalize the most vulnerable which will still allow the ultra rich to contribute last we must not let up but you don't get that you do you see the state of the unions in france we said put aside your differences sit around the table and talk defend us that's your job it is the people who are on the streets like in 68 and like in 1789 it is that people who revolt over. now turning to some other headline news north korea's u.n. envoy has signaled the country won't go ahead with washington's plan to make it denuclearize while saying extended talks with the u.s. are not needed and simply a trick for americans to show that donald trump is putting in the hard miles we do not need to have lengthy talks with the u.s. now in denuclearization is already off the negotiating table. we have the most
8:06 pm
powerful military we've ever had and we are by far the most powerful country in the wote and hopefully we don't have to use it but if we do we will use it on the strongest warning yet over its nuclear program comes as the u.s. and south korea kick start talks on diplomacy building with pyongyang tensions have been building with america threatening more sanctions the next year north korea has called on washington to rethink its policy of demanding unilateral changes double ciampa kim jong un have met 3 times since june 28th talks have made little progress 'd former u.s. diplomat jim jatra saw this he thinks trump's chances of a breakthrough on move korea a fading their words come to bide one is dangerous of 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
8:07 pm
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 be nuclearized as a 1st step toward anything and of course that that was it was that was designed to be a dent and 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 for north korea now now i think north korea's new 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. a former facebook content

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 not be that bad to so let's not overreact but i was. already a little work to do and that is. what's going on. most of our. 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 when you have to always look at it you always see death every single day former employees allege
8:10 pm
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 the vague. 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. and automated systems seem to be a part of the solution but this doesn't come soon enough for those taking the giant to court. as christmas approaches there are all kinds of festive goodies packing the shelves and adding to it all a cult comic geo have created a sensational car with what they thought was a pinch of humor the car depicts a grandfather who had outside his disease being removed from a family christmas dinner after being accused of committing an obscene act which is linked to his illness it has been heavily criticised in britain where more than half a 1000000 people live with a degenerative 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 lot nor is offense taken too easily these
8:12 pm
days and we talked about that with british equality north besh listed linda battles of luke get off from online political magazine spiked. 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 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 simers or a family suffering with outsiders out there who are fans of modern toss and will
8:13 pm
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 work for me. must say that i am lucky the question is where the sight of the human lies now all the subjects that you just listed have been used as 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
8:14 pm
vulnerability in my case it was my father but when your your your wife will you pull your husband. a condition like what alzheimer's what you're dealing with is very very difficult and it's not worthy of a joke. indian police have shot dead 4 men accused of the gang rape and murder of a young vets in the south of the country last month the atrocities sparked widespread demonstrations with calls for the men to be lynched while rights groups are accusing the police officers who shot the suspects of carrying out extrajudicial killings. ok let's look at the show was on her way to see a doctor when a stranger approaches to tell how the trial was punctured all because you see she then called the system now to which i might go for the switched off. is that
8:15 pm
there. was a case with a view. that the police the police actions were justified if you tatties to killers can be punished then we are happy with that money that is what the money. while still ahead in the program the camera never spahis forestalls and spits falsely with a hallway small despite outlining security concerns about the only

8:17 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. welcome back now one of britain's most contentious all towards the much talked about turner prize is raising eyebrows for a different reason this year is usually because of the weight of wacky witnesses given to except this year instead of one triumphant artists it's now being shared among the top 4 finalists aussies online series in case you missed it takes a look. the winner of this year's turner prize goes to.

a base of canvas or knocked up some paper mâché i want to treat the other artists and especially the cash prizes well unbelievably the judges fell for it and gave the prize so all of them having looked at the selection of work i have to admit that it is very hard to pick one which is why they have a prize so now each of the win is will be sharing the $50000.00 prize between them earlier this year the literary booker prize went the same way and they couldn't decide on a winner either so they just gave it to me as i know that everyone winning needs a warm and fuzzy feeling if no one wins then everyone is asked for my time and the next year well. kerry is and at this rate i've got a 100 percent chance of winning. a
