illegal. what does that mean. i'm. doing it. with stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment of elements as well welcome to the week. our top story authorities in iraq say iraq. is injured for service personnel the facility which is located to the north of the capital also has as u.s. troops was previously targeted following washington's assassination uranian general . join me with the details earlier. yeah well we still have a lot of different reports in terms of figures of how many missiles or mortars hit
3:02 pm
the base some are saying that 7 mortar bombs hit the bases runway another says 4 rockets hit the base but we have heard from iraqi security officials and they say that 8 katyusha rockets launched were launched at the base and made contact across the board though we do know that at least 4 iraqi military personnel have been injured and are hospitalized now we also know with the base that's been in the news before because it had a sizable american presence that's where american troops where in that part of the country it's what about 50 miles. north of are they still there as an aside to that are american troops likely have been the target yeah well actually there are still some american military advisers left at that base but the majority of them have been pulled out since the recent tensions the recent spike in tensions between the u.s. and iran recently let's not forget that just last week a u.s.
3:03 pm
airstrike killed the high ranking coots commander qassam soleimani and iran retaliation for that and it came as 2 airstrikes against u.s. military bases in iraq and nobody was killed or injured but it definitely has led to a rise in tensions between those 2 countries in the region and to run actually also valid even harsher retaliation later on and we don't know who is responsible for this strike but that could be a factor in it perhaps they were whoever launched these missiles were trying to target americans but perhaps not because again there were only around 15 u.s. military advisers at the base at this time and none of them were hurt or injured now we have seen another report that suggests that the iranian backed p.m.s. militia was responsible for this but again there's no confirmation yet. the middle east analysts them are told me he doesn't believe it would be in the interest of iran or iraq shia militias to target their base. there has been
3:04 pm
a number of attacks previous to this of the same nature you know katyusha rockets whatever and some of them have been used as a pretext to launch attacks by the united states against the. popular mobilization forces and there is no one who's claiming responsibility doesn't fit with the strategy of the mobilization forces doesn't fit with the strategy of iran so it's highly unlikely that we would know without anyone claiming this when these are again attacks using weapons none precision weapons the margins of error are huge even if there were american forces in this base and this is not an all american base or solely american base there are iraqi soldiers there so most likely one could argue that whoever is targeting this space doesn't necessarily care about

a long path that must lead to the removal of america's military presence from our region in the middle east. meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state has been having a tough time defending the assassination of general here is mike pompei or being challenged on the alleged imminent threat from tehran that triggered the killing. do you have specific information about the threat and did you have anything to do with our embassy. we had specific emanation information on an imminent threat and those threat stream included attacks on the u.s. embassies what is your definition of the internet. this was going to happen and american lives are at risk if the intelligence community is not flawless we we get it wrong in this case the intelligence community got it fundamentally right there was an imminent attack that was active plotting is that right now gone with god threats are never going. to suss and they
3:11 pm
should know how sparked protests the hmong his supporters both in the middle east and in the u.s. where hundreds of people have been rallying demonstrators were shouting antiwar slogans and urging washington would draw its troops stationed in iraq however some american media pundits have been seemingly pushing for the u.s. to step all its charge against them on the scale of mop and reports there are those lucrative defense industry to say. there was compelling intelligence reasons of an imminent threat to respond i trust the intelligence assessment of what's on the neo is doing the kinds of actions he was preparing for i take it at face value what he is saying and secretary powell impale that this was a preemptive defensive measure now these are supposed to be just random smart people who are going to help us understand the situation except they aren't a lot of them have a particular financial interest in a specific outcome essentially they're tied to corporations that make profits from
3:12 pm
war the usa and iran go head to head they'll get a pretty nice payout and the viewers are kept in the dark about these ties the world is on edge since the u.s. to county raney entire restock of tents and codes force command a custom so they mani following the december 31st attack on the u.s. embassy in iraq. $979.00 iran has bullied threatened and coup and spread its reign of terror the president has made the right decisions on iran to this point including scrapping the iranian nuclear deal then hip jr works for a lobbying firm american defense incorporated that represents military contractors and who are one of the sponsors of his lobbying efforts none other than the manufacturers of the drone that killed solomonic so are we really shocked he's not singing kumbaya on urging restraint check out this guy they crossed a red line with this president when he when he exercised enormous going to story.

not taken a provocation but said don't kill americans and when they did he he acted and acted very strongly jack keane is represented as just a retired general giving his 2 cents but actually sent his retirement from the pentagon he's been working with military contracting companies like general dynamics and now he runs a venture capital firm that specializes in defense and security not exactly mr objective general saw money he was a lawful military objectives and the president had ample domestic legal authority to take him out without an additional congressional authorization jed johnson was in the department of homeland security under barack obama but now he's in the private sector working for lockheed martin that's the company that makes the war planes that are stationed across the middle east and who can forget david petraeus that's the military commander turned cia director who had an affair and leaked classified information to his mistress now you would think he wouldn't be credible
3:14 pm
after all this is what happened when he tried to teach classes at city college in new york. and. i mean if you don't know what it is going to break. you go but petraeus is back selling war on primetime it's impossible. to overstate the significance of the attack that takes cost and soul money this is bigger than bin ladin that's bigger than bud donahue the overwhelming majority of the american people believe that the invasion of iraq in 2003 was a big mistake so it's worth pointing out that these same people were on t.v. in 2003 selling the invasion of iraq are now on t.v. pushing a new war against iraq the exact same people it is important to understand the consequences of pulling out of iraq before our work is done and victory is achieved a bend in our iraqi friends would signal the world that america cannot be trusted to keep its word. was the highest ranking official in the quds force he has the
3:15 pm
blood of many american soldiers on his hands the u.s. public has voted for presidential candidates who promised less involvement overseas over and over again but the mainstream media seems to be working pretty hard to convince them otherwise and it's giving special attention to certain individuals who have certain shady financial ties and it's not disclosing those ties to the viewers many of the pundits the analysts that we see in us media are people who are either on the boards of military corporations or their lobbyist for the military industry and they have an economic incentive unfortunately when it comes to war and this is not disclosed when we hear them talking about how good term is doing in killing the general of another country
3:16 pm
in citing a new war we have to admit that there is a strong military industrial complex in the united states and that the news media itself benefits from war. a russian journalist an art to contribute or she heard her facebook account suspended after posting an article about the slain are really in general custom so i'm only here so you're using the scribe what occurred. i received a notification which said that my posts violated facebook's community standards that was it initially i didn't actually understand that my account had even been suspended and it was only when i tried to do something on facebook that a message popped up notifying me of an account suspension for 60 days it's worth noting that accounts typically get suspended for a shorter period of time usually a month my post was meant as a presentation of my article that had been published on artie's website in it so i
3:17 pm
tried to give the readers an idea of what role general somali played in iran and what consequences his death could bring about i made a point of stating that i didn't support the iranian regime i myself was arrested in to iran in early october last year as a zionist spy so i have no reason whatsoever to like this regime but this general was a big figure he was very influential in iran maybe even the most influential person there so this description with his photograph attached triggered this heavy handed reaction. will you lay is case is just one of many vote was reported in the days following solomon these killing users of instruction which is owned by facebook also complained of a current suspensions of the deletion of posts praising the iranian commander the iranian government spokesperson has blasted the suspensions calling them quote on democratic the international federation of journalists also the scribe the movers

all acceptable these are areas they'd all unfettered access to information. well facebook for its part has said that it is following u.s. laws regarding sanctions including those relating to runs revolutionary guard corps which is viewed as a terrorist organization by washington yuliya you sick again teams whoever about america's pressure on social media platforms makes a mockery well that's professed commitment to freedom of speach. it's just because charles i think what we see in might now is a case of double standards a very hypocritical policy because the u.s. prides itself on being a beacon of democracy for the whole world they are always trying to teach other countries how to be democratic and overthrow regimes purportedly to install democracy but in this case we see a blatant case of censorship political censorship when there's a purge going on targeting
3:19 pm
a person who's out of the current us presidents grace i think facebook had been handed down an order it very much looks like there is a ban on any mentioning of cilla money on social media there is writing about him in a neutral light or simply posting his photo get their posts removed straightaway and account suspended that's what censorship is isn't it. protests against pension reform in front of current over into the new year while the government has now made a concession and scrapping the raising of a full benefit retirement age on saturday rallies in paris another should be soft in force including the yellow vest movement in the capital things turn violent with police resorting to tear. was was

apparently your right to not suffer our poll revealed to its pictures it's a stick lumped on child sex abuse. we are utilizing subject only to help screen for child sexual abuse materiel. the tech giant was forced into making the admission after its updated privacy policy contain a line saying the corporation may collect information regarding customer activities no those are tiffany's will be included monitoring everything from high to. beyond the company also scan users all the data for illegal content we put the issue up for debate with a number of guest political come to chadwick but 1st let's hear from previous c activist stroke technology expert villainy. of course everyone is for stopping child abuse and that's not the issue here it's the i simply i'm not buying it at the company i don't believe that apple really cares about fighting crime they just
3:24 pm
entered the live streaming business where people may be concerned that apple is rifling through all of the photos and all of that data this isn't actually the case the type of technology that we're looking at here simply is used to take a fingerprint of a particular image once an image is known to include some child abuse imagery apple is not clear about that apple says illegal pot possible potentially illegal activity including child porn what does that mean that's terrifying language you wouldn't simply have the processing power and the computing overhead to be able to . scan full photos against each other in the kind of way that people imagine this is possibly the best use of the current available technology you know to crack down the posting of a serious child abuse images i'd love to know how successful is all of this

technology if you look up cases that photo d.n.a. has been used to catch people distributing kiddie porn there was one this year there was one in 2015 there's one in 2014 i mean there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of these images out there these take many techniques we use with the question technique where they offload it's a really violent video once they had that video they managed to prevent people real plugging that video over a 1000000 times it has been used effectively with violence with pornography and many many images of me prevent it and is the best way of doing it i don't trust these companies i just think it's ever encroaching more and more into our privacy into owning our data into finding out even more information about us i think it's scary and i don't think that apples to be in the business of law enforcement. the question is being green actually just making the mega-corporations wealthier it's a question or short documentary grapples with next their close.
