A group of neighbors who are trying to see what can be done to stop this. Morning saturday morning the 7th of september just turned 18 am here in moscow now my names kevin now in this is r. T. International 1st the u. S. National security advisor john bolton has tweeted that the Iranian Oil Tanker the edra and daria previously known as grace one has been seen entering a syrian port previously to run declined to comment on whether that tank it would in fact be heading to syria washingtons accuse the tanker of breaking u. S. And e. U. Sanctions on the transportation of oil to syria it was briefly seized you may recall by the u. K. In gibraltar. Anyone who said the adrian daria one wasnt headed to syria is in denial terror and thinks its more important to fund the murderous assad regime than provide for its own people we can talk pretty irans not getting any sanctions relief until it stops lying and spreading terror more part of history here in august the tank was released by the u. K. Despite protests from the United States which is increasing pressure on iran it was last seen near syria and afterwards it said tracking device was switched off washingtons monitoring the whereabouts of the vessel confirming that it did attempt to bribe the captain of that vessel in a bid to detain that hawkins has got more. If at 1st you dont succeed try and try again so keen with u. S. Authorities to get their hands on a rainy and. They used everything at their disposal 1st came the stick accusing the tanker of moving the world to syria in breach of sanctions they went to the u. K. For help the british marines impounded the ship while it was passing through the strait of gibraltar the Spanish Foreign minister said the arrest came after a demand from the u. S. To the u. K. But on 15th of august gibraltar released the vessel its sail into the mediterranean a few days later after being renamed from grace one to adrian daria one then came the carrot weve all had one of those emails im writing to you with good news what might you expect a surprise lottery win perhaps a huge inheritance from a long lost royal Family Member in africa well thats exactly the email that the ships captain received but this wasnt the regular spam for the junk folder this came direct from the state department. This is bryan hook i work for secretary of state mike pompei oh and serve as the u. S. Representative for iran the offer millions of dollars for captain kumar to dock his own tanker in a us friendly port that would allow it seizure by washington after the possibly confuse captain failed to reply a 2nd email hit his inbox the tone now less friendly with this money you can have any life you wish and be well off in old age if you choose not to take this easy path life would be much harder for you what lay behind this thinly veiled threat was left to his imagination to ron was understandably riled having failed at piracy the us resource to outright blackmail deliver us irans oil and receive several 1000000. 00 or be sanctioned yourself sounds very similar to the oval office invitation i received a few weeks back it is becoming a pattern incredibly the state department confirmed to this unusual strategy even adding this was no one off we have conducted extensive outreach to several ship captains as well shipping companies taps and crew more meanwhile is only us naughty list how differently this story would have ended if only captain kumar had cashed in and just arent that good news email. If only were joined now by doctors for lunch only a professor and dean a gentle school of International Affairs those are joining us now this morning hi there so john boltons tweeted than about the iranian tanker entering a syrian port if it is confirmed how serious is this. Well you know all of the u. S. Establishment led by john borden have actually become the major problem in trying to resolve this crisis because they remember you know President Trump as authorized rand paul one of the republican senators to open a back channel you know negotiation with the iranians and drum in fact recently said that you know that you know our needs you know some kind of larger sanctions relief and on the other hand border and to some extent on bail and the pentagon ease of very keen to keep the pressure of maximum pressure still current on iran using all means you just mentioned bribery you mentioned blackmail in all contracts and then also trying to cause the u. S. Allies to comply with britain did not come right britain release the ship that they heard originally taken from the iranian saw the fact is that the europeans are still trying to speak of an independent position but the u. S. Establishments is hell bent. On this and the campaign and for r. V. s reasons because the one prominent military presence in the middle east and around the region are power projection and by creating iran that will be of iran as a major threat i mean what does this ship have to do with general activities more than me saying that. We are determined to stop their activities how is the ship headed to see if syria we are in on it going to war in order to get in step be ready so this is the kind of illogical you know hardline mentality youve got to be part of the us have and that im afraid is going to be you know neutralize any or them still find a peaceful resolution and theres another school of thought that maybe john bold could potentially be mistaken ere the reports another iranian tank in the sylvia one brought all the syria on fridays or any chance that john bolton is advisors could have mistaken the identity of the 2 vessels or not. Its quite possible but you know for these guys this is not rational or object of reality i mean for most of them its a vote using any pretext to try and squeeze. And to also be doing their bombing and our military presence in the persian gulf and beyond this is also linked to the domestic politics in the u. S. You know a lot of them are below the israeli line there whatever iran does is bad and is the stabilizing so i think this is actually as i said going backwards because if you look at the facts shipping of oil and dagger has nothing to do with terrorism was going on and secondly we dont know the laws are broken economic sanctions wasnt initially. Yeah you know there was supposedly you use sanctions but the british decided the big socketed to return it so the point is that britain is still a member of the you are going to break that happened so its not of money it is also think you dont want you in regulation to stop it is not going to be at ok were just theres a life church or an attorney a professor and dean a gentle school of International Affairs will let you get on with your saturday thanks coming on they will follow this story closely of course and thanks for contributing to the show this morning. The lists truck was selling in south africa have been a lot of trouble there the last week and xenophobia riots continue there showed no sign of abating in the capital for a long businesses are being looted as tensions there escalate or monday the countrys minister of Police Describe the situation in the city as a National Emergency or sleep is there for us. You mean shifty in johannesburg which you did have seen some of the worst violence against foreigners south africa as you can see yes lets take kids what they can to stop that was owed by not because not where are you that it couldnt be any moment now but the entire building can come tumbling down because really hammering out the structure now the mood on the ground is the but if we dont feel 100 percent comfortable filming weve been told the photo is nowhere to be seen and no doubt he is trying to stay as far away from these kind of scenes as possible because one still gets to see that b. Situation thats not the truth and she competes cotton i know its hard to believe but this was a bottle store one of the questioners working there was you know who comes from zimbabwe what actually happens ultimately is that with them because they come to take. You to theyve taken everything so youve lost everything you know me. Do you think its going to get worse and we should attempt to stay. Across the road here is alan who owns a Hardware Store i mean did you ever think that you would see these kind of scenes happening so close to a business home for she will bring through the forwards in crews of them going through a similar experience to the chemist secret Company Already going through. For most of last 3 wonderful them and you what do we do with getting the large blue itll work for families with weve read from. Do you think showing your south african Identity Protect suit is going to give you this week or the why what happened are you going to go look close the emotional downloading a little are the police and the government doing enough given that theyre not doing enough or the nose and going with the lonely government were going to go to the will remove all the ones we both would lose all due to the problem its not just foreign owned stores that were targeted here you can see. A 2nd hand car dealership that was broken into and the cars say to light now the result has been an offer by the Nigerian Foreign Ministry for any nigerians living in this country who feel unsafe to be able to fly back home for free this is the worst spate of the violence that south africa has witnessed since 2008 police is to most adjacent some 8 people have been killed and more than 300 have been detained as we say the violence is a sad reflection on what where he is and and tenable situation. For every move of middle literally youre given to be given the blows and now you have no business no move this finish it is strange how you can now look after our family all the more over. Now this shop here which has been completely boarded up was owned by nigerians and very no way here to be seen of course theyre very afraid the shop is completely solid but this shop too has been looted also owned by nigerians lock on the door completely sealed up so people hear differently afraid that the violence will continue you welded up the shops why they mean there. And do they take everything. And where all the nigerian owners in the foreign owners are always on the roof are they thinking to leave the country ignore your book or to talk to a great group. Ever quest went out today for nigerians in the country you want to be free of charge im able to do so and there is at least one flight today leaving at this stage the situation is extremely tenable unstable and i continue being on the streets theres a lot of uncertainty so really what what will happen remains to be seen in our team johannesburg. Elsewhere this weekend residents of a jerusalem neighborhood are enraged by the u. S. Embassys construction of a wall around his terror. Tree which they say is going to block their view of the area originally the American Embassy received a permit to build a wall around about 3. 00 metres in height however they were also recently authorized to build a fence which would almost double the original height locals are urging the embassy to halt construction. Im. Very upset i come out my house and i want to be able to see the view over the desert i dont want to look at the big stone wall near im already the image i got up one morning and saw them doing demolition and construction work so i asked what was happening and they said they were making the wall higher why would they do that doesnt exist seymour high enough what was the problem the wall now froze entire view from behind it. Were very upset we were part of a group of neighbors who were trying to see what can be done i just stop this i. Like consult with us a bit about growing to remain last year the United States embassy was relocated to jerusalem you may recall after the trumpet ministration recognized the city as the capital of jerusalem the owner of a Jerusalem Post Construction Company says the fence is a blight on the city. I understand that the American Embassy is requested to build a wall 5. 8 meters high but the maximum height of a wall in jerusalem according to the authorities is 3. 2 meters 5. 8 meters is too much and they disregarding their neighbors there are many beautiful houses here in the center of jerusalem and a wall like that would be an eyesore. Well we reached out to israeli authorities for comment on that story i can tell you well share it with you if when we get a response coming up in the program the u. S. Is losing the information war to russia thats what a former state Department Official reveals in the new book be talk about that when we come back. That gemini that steve globalization came in and 2016 that he the idea of monitor as the global Central Banks cooperating to put out a currency unit of accounts that was better than gold is a 6070 year experiment that is now collapsing which is leading to dollars a synaesthete countries like russia move aggressively away from the dollar and buy gold and globalization simultaneously. In a world of big. Lot and conspiracy its time. To dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. Again good morning the u. S. Military join the ranks of fake news the pentagons Research Agency darpa says its seeking to develop automated algorithms that will detect falsified text or doing video the program able to identify the source the news the alleged intent behind it on the impact of its spread to Senior Correspondent takes a look at the potential pitfalls. Its no secret our Farm Machinery Artificial Intelligence have come recently face recognition cameras worldwide battlefields filled with Remote Control drones i even have a Good Authority that siri will soon be able to differentiate between lunch and launch that the forefront of this technological revolution is darpa the pentagons super secret research arm best known for being mentioned in farfetched headlines theyre working on a new program that will be able to differentiate between fake news and real news so long as there is no mention of the word lunch in it the semantic Forensic Program will develop technologies to automatically detect actual buttes and characterize falsified Multimodal Media assets to defending its large scale automated descent from a show attacks. Now i know what youre thinking and i agree that it can be difficult to think up new ways to drain the u. S. Militarys 600000000000 dollar budget but points for creativity on the other hand this may be an honest effort the pentagon out of the goodness of its heart protecting people from this information that is when it isnt spreading fake news itself like when the secretary of defense had to shut down an entire department dedicated to dis information and then there was the office of Strategic Influence you may recall that i went down the next day and said fine if you want to salvage this thing fine ill give you the corpse theres the name you can have the name but im going to keep doing every single thing that needs to be done and i have i also know your next question yes a computer which can shed tell apart whether thats a smile on your face or whether your crying in agony will now tell you whats real and whats fake scary and probably impossible Stanford University recently created an algorithm that tried to separate lies from the truth they said it worked 82 percent of the time and thats putting it kindly possibility of actually detecting fake news from the written word it is possible it is the spoken word it is a prince of words it will be very very difficult because if you do not have. The ability to write grammatically correctly then i imagine this system will then do chanting consistencies and resume it is machine written. And if this machine algorithms would they would take years to develop you would have to study the. Individual area and program thing in to these algorithms the difference between the northeast of the United States and the size of these states. Theyre almost different languages lets be honest this is darpa were talking about the people who wrote off billions trying to create such wonders as an army a virus spreading insects weaponized be robotic elephants and a live polio virus just for the heck of it apparently never cease to amaze when it comes to creative ways to get to the bottom of another multibillion dollar budget and who need stream the unlikely off chance that they succeed well our future could kind this suck and true you cant handle the truth and the fight against its information is a core of an upcoming book by a former state Department Official in the a bomb of ministration which is tangles messages that america is losing the information war against russia and its struggling to control and counteract the false. Its not enough to bust or false what is truth the truth does not always win but the scale of russian disinfo mation was beyond what we were capable of responding to or thora terry and governments have gone from fearing the flow of information to exploiting it they understand that the same tools that spread democracy can engineer its undoing lets face it democracies are not very good at combating this information which is to end it was managing editor at Time Magazine between 2006 and 13 moving on to government work in 2040 he served as undersecretary of state for Public Diplomacy in affairs for 2 years stengel views on propaganda of change though last year he openly backed it describing himself as chief propagandist. Basically every country creates their own narrative story im not against propaganda every country does it and they have to do it to their own population and i dont necessarily think its that awful. I would say theres a difference between propaganda and us telling people what our policy is so i dont think it was propaganda. You know my old job at the state department was what people used to joke as the chief propaganda is a job journalist and author done the things that the u. S. Has a selective approach than to dealing with the truth. Americans never a lie and even when they lie its not a lie because somehow its a its in pursuit of a higher truth and so are so stengel would never admit to admit to deceit to painting a false portrait remember though the worse the us does terms of Foreign Policy the greater the dissent from ation that that emanates out of washington the us never changes the us is always consistent always honest always forthright and anybody who says anything to the contrary must sad how it must be spreading disinformation in behalf of russia and one hand yes the us is fear is being more openly propaganda stick the other hand when the us does it its not propaganda its simply the truth and anything to the contrary is fake information. This is morning students at a school in england are protesting the production of gender neutral uniforms. I was thank god. Was dated uniform of Primary School in east sussex banned skirts requires all students to wear trousers people who refused to follow the new rules face being sent home police were called to come protests then 150 pupils and their parents descended on the school over it the school defended the new uniforms saying its practical. Our uniform is designed to be a practical influence which encourages students to be ready to focus on their schoolwork and activities we spoke direct one of the parents who took part in the protest. I think the reason were protesting against the uniform change is because the school is being quite disingenuous about the reasons for changing the form is gone from one reason to another. The issue isnt necessarily about gender neutral uniform is discriminating against one section of the students being the couch because they can no longer west it would be like saying all the boys need to its a big financial pressure on a lot of parents to provide another School Uniform we are in a climate of stereotype parents dont have the money to fund another unnecessary uniform but i think there needs to be Better Process in dealing with their states to the students who are the parents and come up with a reasonable way to implement the uniform not just back on their initial word and now say everybody has to wear it for a full post the other sunday morning hi there well but cities are up so far this weekend here at our teams will do center of moscow is kevin though in the us the on duty news teams will use i think of as much watch and have a great rest of the week. Is this is a sticker from a water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the Cocacola Company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that lets tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litterbugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all of this waste become bonnie has long promised to reuse the plastic. Thats. Stay in your own hands at a special projects funded. On the line your best bet is yes. But for now the mountains of moist only grow higher. Compared to centuries of chinese history 2 years is nothing unless birgitte 2 years of donald trump with yet another round of terrorist being added to the u. S. Trade war this last week news chinas strategy of waiting out the unit me likely to work with the current american president. This is. One of the most important issues if not the most important issue that humanity needs to be talking about. And we had nobody wants to talk about it because everybodys scared to talk about it Everybody Knows that. You know an emotional issue in such a personal you know subject. And people are scared so people just dont talk about it and thats sad but. Our species. Survival is true. Really dependent on us addressing this issue and if we can even talk about it if we can even have a conversation about it then. Were in trouble. When i was studying biology at the university of california in san diego i had a bio chemistry professor that one day came into class and told all the students to close their books and said were not going to talk about biochemistry today were going to watch a film about population and i was probably about 20 years old and i remember just being completely devastated by what i learned in that film and i walked across the entire campus talking to my professor about human population and i really decided on that day that i didnt want to contribute to our rapidly growing population and really every environmental issue that we face Ocean Acidification and Climate Change habitat destruction pollution species extinction loss of biodiversity the collapse of ecosystems all of these things are accelerated by our rapidly growing population growing up i never really was planning towards having kids but i think somewhere in my mind i always thought i was going to have kids that i was going to find a wife get married and having kids when i 1st met lonnie she kind of told me that having kids wasnt something that she was really that interested in you know i thought thats fine im good not having kids and 10 years later 14 years later you know to me it was one of the biggest decisions that weve made no regrets really really happy to be childfree by choice raising a child can be stressful so for a mouse the. Point i think another one of the possible in our relationship we get to spend more time connecting with each other and i think that thats you know for us its really important relationship i dont know necessarily that one relationship or one style of relationship is going to be good or the other because i think theres you know some people that have kids and that is their whole life and that actually brings people closer together but then on the same instance theres people who have kids and it kind of drove drives a wedge between them because they dont get to have that quality time together and thats something which they valued before they had kids and i doubt that any kid to have that now so this is timbo tim is our 3rd child he was found by. My husband in a parking lot he was about 2 pounds skin and bones covered in fleas with a big hole and an abscess in one of his rear legs and so he scooped him up and we took him to the vet and he had emergency surgery he had a really rough 1st 10 weeks on the planet but its been pretty sweet ever since. Currently we were actually living through the 6th mass extinction of species so were currently driving species to extinction at a rate thats about a 1000 times faster than the natural background rate of extinction. And a lot of people are unaware of this. 5 major mass extinctions obviously the last major mass extinction on the planet was the one that took out the dinosaurs right now were living through what they call the Anthropocene Anthropocene translates to the age of man its where the human impact on her
