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 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 continue for the 3rd day in a right. 2. there have been massive nationwide demonstrations since thursday affecting schools hospitals and public transport offices used take out dispersal crowds of the most

changes donald trump and kim jong un have met 3 times since june 20th same but talks have made it'll progress former u.s. diplomat told us he thinks trumps trances of a breakthrough in north 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 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 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 rick reasonable vision where they will not make any concessions the united states basically controls his mouth and his twitter farms 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. a forum a facebook content moderated is taking the company to. alleging that he developed post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of his work and he claims that watching hundreds of violent and shocking videos every day without having received proper training has left him psychologically scarred daniel hawkins takes up the story but the 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

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 so 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 festive goodies packing the shelves adding to it all a cult comic could have created a seasonal called with what they thought was a pinch of humor the cold depicts

a grandfather who has outlined his disease being removed from a family christmas dinner after being accused of committing an obscene act which is linked to his illness it's been heavily criticized 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 representation of people living with dementia so did the card cross the line or is offense too easily taken these days we talked about this with britain equality law specialist linda bell also 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
9:13 pm
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 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 bring. on the basis of what i just heard that justified then the whole of course who rape or this list the number of things that
9:14 pm
could be if you were using this logic talk funny. 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 vulnerability in my case it was my father but when your your your wife will you pull your husband. how a condition like. alzheimer's what you're dealing with is very very difficult and it's not worthy of a joke. indian police have shot at 4 men accused of the gang rape and murder of

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 trying to obviously is a huge and important market as well as a supply of. many range of particularly that tronic goods particularly if
9:24 pm
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 holway 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 well that's your news update for now will be back here at the top of the hour would around the headlines see them. this is kaiser report coming here from an undisclosed bunker in the middle of

9:28 pm
utterly failed to curb their nation's greenhouse gas emissions of failing to that could doom us all and last week katie tar on m.f. n.b.c. correctly said that we've known about global warming for years you know climate change was coming for decades as late as the 1980 s. this was a excepted fact not just by democrats but by basically everybody this was presidential candidate george h.w. bush in 1908 some say these problems are too big that it seemed possible for an individual or even a nation is great is ours to solve the problem of global warming or the loss of forests or the deterioration of our oceans my response is simple it can be done and we must do it yes and thank you m s n b c for working solo ard. to never report on it until last summer.
9:29 pm
without you and us n.b.c. we americans might have learned something. then where would we be. well luckily m s n b c seems to have changed their tune they're covering climate change they're admitting that we've known about it for decades and that neither republican nor democratic administrations have done donald trump says it's not happening and barack obama had big oil so far up as he ran a tiger mart out of his ears. so i assume that means m.s.n. b.c. will have a gasp for this segment who will take to task both sides of our corrupt ruling elite a guest who is not connected to either of our failed political parties joining me former energy and climate aide to president obama jake. well maybe he's seen the air over his way and understand that this by
9:30 pm
a bunch of words obama spit out he also laid more oil pipeline than ever before he and his secretary of state hillary clinton ran all over the world promoting fracking which releases the even more potent gas methane i mean all obama might as well been run around shooting penguins in the face with a. difference he did the policy of quislings of punching endangered species in the . which is difficult for the rhinos because there's a former. liberal helmets. maybe this former obama administration official now understands this catastrophe is related to both parties we've had increasing emissions over the past decade those emissions are expected to continue increasing with business as usual it really suggests that leadership matters president obama brought the countries of the world together.
