And a Major International military exercise in central russia enters its final stage with china and india among partisan. Good evening out a warm welcome to you this is r. T. International. Has announced further sanctions on iran in the wake of the strikes. Last week the new restrictions target irans central bank. These are the highest sanctions ever imposed on a country never done it to this level and its too bad whats happening with the rand its going to hell now trump is calling it the highest level of sanctions ever imposed against the Islamic Republic of iran now the sanctions are being imposed in response to the recent attack against any aramco oil facility saudi arabia says that iran is to blame for the attack now iran vehemently denies that they are responsible says that they did not carry out this attack and that this is a deception from saudi arabia interestingly who the forces in yemen have claimed responsibility for the attack but saudi arabia says it doubts that the who the forces have the capability of carrying out such a strike now there was some anticipation of a possible military response from the United States but now donald trump has come forward and said that there will be an escalation of sanctions against iran this highest level of sanctions and sanctions imposed on irans National Bank but not a military response this is donald trump speaking to journalists easiest thing i could do if i could do it while youre here which say go ahead fellows going to knock out 15 different major things in around i could do that and all set to go its all set to go but i think the strong persons approach and the thing that does show strength would be showing a little bit of restraint now while saudi arabia maintains they are sure that it is iran was responsible on thursday we heard from the pentagon and they said they are still investigating and havent come to solid conclusions like yet this is the u. S. Department of defense our position on this has been were going to work through with the saudis as they make their assessment of what took place so were going to work with them but were going to allow the saudis to make the declarations on where they believe the attacks came from and the ultimate responsibility unlike the pentagon might pompei o who is. On a regional visit to saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates said he is sure iran was responsible. To gather any new evidence that shows who is behind the attacks and do you think it is a slam dunk case to bring to the u. N. Next week. I think its abundantly clear and there is an enormous consensus in the region that we know precisely who conducted these attacks was iran i didnt hear anybody in the region who doubted that for a single mom so it seems there is no hard evidence and rather than waiting for the u. N. Team to come to a conclusion after investigating it seems the United States has responded by taking these actions against iran and imposing these new sanctions despite the fact that no hard evidence seems to be presented and that the u. N. Team has not concluded its investigation and has not reached any conclusions about who is responsible now its also important to point out that iran has reacted saying that it will offer a response to the u. S. Plots political analysts have a house and only believes the sanctions will have no impact. Its very revealing that america things with all these weapons and everything it can go away and make all these sanctions against iran it doesnt really solve anything for america what does it achieve really its not going to make iran bend the knee its going to rob their bring all of the countries that america has currently in some sort of war footing with china russia etc its going to bring everyone closer against america so really this is isolating america more the sanctions against iran clearly have not worked have not you know stopped iran in its tracks sanctions will work on a country that is dependent on the country making sanctions on it if you look like iran has had this policy for you know close to 40 years now as something which they call the resistance economy this allows iran as a country to be relatively independent at least independent from america is it painful yes of course it is an unknown is going to say its not painful but is it going to make your on bended knee and fall over and you know bow down to the almighty trump not which not only place where it can potentially cause a problem if youre for example me someone in england wants to do business with iran i cant but of course there are ways around that as well it just makes it a little bit more inconvenient but it doesnt break it or doesnt make it impossible the sanctions are essentially america shooting itself in the foot while thinking that its shooting someone else thats a quick. Facebook c. E. O. Mark zuckerberg has met with President Donald Trump the social media platforms chief is looking to defend his company and it mounting criticism of the privacy issues and Data Protection recently the case facebook claimed that it is a publisher and is therefore allowed to ban who it likes but potentially that would also make it liable for what goes out on this platform responsibilities previously tried to dodge trying to look at the potential ramifications. So what have we got here. Thats better. Plaintive ultra right activist laura luma who was taken off pretty much all major Online Platforms defendant facebook one of the giants which kicked her out we carefully flicked through these court papers which the defendant filed to try and bury the lawsuit and heres what really caught the eye. To the extent miss lewis claimed targets facebooks decision to deactivate her accounts it is also deficient on the well established law made the facebook nor any of the publisher can be liable for failing to publish someone elses message 1st amendment provides absolute protection for such decisions what was it again either facebook nor any other publisher protection by the 1st amendment so in this particular case the lawyers of sucking co are happy to legally refer to their social network as up publisher digging a bit deeper will reveal facebook has done that in the past as well when last year an app startup was crossing swords with facebook in court this is what came from the network spent the publisher discretion is it 3 speechwriter respective what technological means is used so is it just me or somethings wrong with how the platform we use every day identifies itself because when facebook bosses take questions in other places it seems they always try to distance themselves from the notion publisher which are you are you a tech company or are you the Worlds Largest publisher because i think that goes to a really important question on what form of regulation or Government Action if any we would take. Senator this is. A really big question i view us as a tech company because the primary thing that we do is build technology and products are you responsible for your content which made exactly the end of a publisher. Well i agree that were responsible for the content but we dont produce the content and thats been the message for quite a while. We are a tech company not a media company. I do think we have to be the publisher and we definitely dont want to be the arbiter of the truth now just imagine what kind of legal trouble the tech giant may put itself in if it becomes universally recognized the company Mr Zuckerberg is running is a publisher not just a tech platform are they really ready to be responsible for anything disturbing or outright criminal that gets posted under the blue logo the examples have been out there in abundance. The way or what if simply someone decides to lawyer and bully me with all kinds of offensive stuff right on facebook should i then also follow defamation suit against the network because they as a publisher a lot of its well known you cant have a cake and eat it at the same time will probably unless your last name is sucker berg when we asked facebook to comment on the story well bring you any response that we get legal analysts lionel in the meantime his opinion. What is facebook now when Mark Zuckerberg spoke before congress he said were just to check. I just made the platform available for people to say when they were done i am not publishing i dont put out a in the end im just like a bill and thats the way people get around the idea of of perhaps allowing defamatory or libelous statements and the like now theyre saying were publishers we have the right to have anybody on there we want well if youre a publisher under defamation law libel law you can be held accountable and liable for the longest Time Facebook was trying to have it both ways if i want a t. V. Station and i Say Something defamatory about you or organization the t. V. Station the magazine theyre liable to because they broadcast it they put this libelous statement out so whats it going to be facebook do you want the liability that comes with being a publisher or do you want to just merely be a tech platform and if you want to be just a tech platform here have to make up your mind because you cant limit speech you cant act like a publisher unless you are a publisher. To central russia with a Major International military exercise sent to 29 tvs in full swing in addition to the host nations like china didnt do taking part to take cooperation between the neighbors to a new level in the face of ice along terrorist threats one spectators is flooded with putin as well as what she believes the president is also meeting his kick his counterparts. This is a very loud if press of spectacle the simulated food terrorists have predictably been beaten back and just a few meters away from us we have military observers from all over the world i counted at least a dozen nato badges watching the show watching the spectacle glad to be a putin with the president in the stands as well 20 meters away from us but theres a purpose to this is isnt just a shoe for enjoyment to a spectacle this is an exercise to form a unity to Form Corporation between asian nations asian states that threatened by islamic radicalism and this is their effort to sort of get to get to know each other get to Work Together even india and pakistan and odds with each other open conflict working together here behind me as i reported earlier the story is radical islamist terrorists of come to power in a simulated Central Asian republic theyve formed a quasi caliph that if you will and the mission is to stop them to prevent them from seizing any more territory they come into possession of advanced weapons and being belligerent towards participating nations and participating 8 countries representing a good heart full of the worlds population china India Pakistan russia as well as for Central Asian republics their mission is to stop the terrorists and prevent them from taking any more territory to defend themselves the military contingency representing those 8 nations amanda 128000 troops as well as 20000 vehicles and tanks of all time. On tiller air defense missiles systems as well as 600 aircraft including drones the military exercises themselves are stretched over a 6 day period across a variety of different battlefields and today the grand crescendo the objective is to hold an enemy attack knock out their cruise missiles and at the end go on the offensive and crush them the point of these military exercises isnt to show off any participating nations to some degree will face the threat of radical extremism and the point of these war games is to make sure that if worst comes to worst and these people come to power that the participating nations can present a united front and to stop an enemy that has demonstrated it is remorseless merciless and capable of anything. Pakistan is also taking part political commentator and journalist jo white emphasized the importance of the country joining india in those tools. Its a growing trend of cooperation between countries in central asia and it makes perfect sense given that the common traits especially with regards to global terrorism hugely significant visible to subpoena of india and pakistan of course when changes over kashmir have been very very high and given newest article enmity that has existed between both countries who this is a testament in tribute to the difficult diplomacy of china russia and bringing these countries into into disagreement was fatally important in this corporation is that there is more integration that theres more between new countries because we dont know whats going to unfold in afghanistan its very important for the countries who are in the region to have some sort of brought against any and enjoyable to nothing which goes in some way to achieving that.

Several 100 people are gathered in the in the far does it in the us under the rallying cry storm area 51. 00 started as a joke campaign to break into the secretive military base standard of attracting around 2000000 supporters on facebook when he claimed the American Government i think you have photos that 1st of all known as alien stock that was due to be held in a nearby town was Council Bluffs we stopped u. F. O. Enthusiasts from descending despite warnings from the north or a to the other a space has also been shut down on friday to protect the facility. To the story.

All joking aside were taking it very seriously on nation has secrets and those secrets deserve to be protected secrets well theyve got to be important because extra security and barricades have already been prepared in anticipation of the horde it also doesnt help that several videos have surfaced in recent years of supposedly u. F. O. Sightings all captured by u. S. Navy pilots. Could be. And the navy only added fuel to the fire of speculation when it labeled those objects and identified aerial phenomena the navy does ignatz the objects contained in these videos as identified aerial phenomenon the unidentified aerial phenomena terminology is used because it provides the basic descriptor for the sightings observations of. Objects that have been observed entering operating in the as space various military controlled training ranges government secrecy always will fuel all kinds of speculation when you have a government that is not transparent its going to lose the confidence of the people this was the lesson of the soviet union its the lesson of the United States today where there is a lack of transparency where people know that theyre not getting the truth from their government on a large number of matters area 51 and u f os in general have never gone away in the public imagination certainly not in the United States. There have been many sightings of apparent u. S. Those in the vicinity of area 51 and people know about that and theres always been the stories so. I think it has captured the imagination of a lot of people we might not know how many people are really going to this area 51 of em but one things for sure. U. S.

Court has changed previous decision and part of a listing of has been released under a travel ban russias general Prosecutors Office as well as the countrys own woodsmen all had been calling for softening the initial punishment for these young men but many believe that todays decision is not about that but rather about a victory of a Civil Society and 100 percent result of unified actions and afterwards and solidarity of people who simply believed that pavol osteen of had been convicted wrongfully and that was exactly what puddles sr and his mom talked about after the decision was announced yet blood that that in the absolute and thank everyone for this the media the public ordinary people and actors and even the prosecutor who finally heard us today i was sitting in the hearing with a new film because everything is different now it was obvious that after so much support from the public the decision would change now he can be at home its a victory for all of us possibles case caused an unprecedented wave of defiance and support from celebrities to ordinary people we saw them lining up for what is known as one man protest this is the easiest legal way of protesting demonstrating here in russia and there was also a Massive Online Campaign with actors and other public figures publishing their video statements in support for. Demanding his release the gist of that which will since we have just finished a performance of Jesus Christ Superstar and we actors from the mall. So if youre theater expresses support for a colleague travel stina receiving this. Im joining the freedom to brother you know job russian yes to justice as for this tragic case.

We spoke with the brother of a sandy hook shooting victim a things of the fashion miss capitalizing on the tragedy. I dont think it empowers anyone to show bullet holes and to show the names of the schools that have experienced shootings you know this is a very raw subject for a lot of people i think that the best way to get back at this company is not to sue them its to let them sell the clothes and let them find out for themselves and no one is interested in this i really think if you decide to wear a clothing item that is. Exaggerating the shooting trying to bring it into society and trying to bolt holes in your clothes and exploit the shooting that you know i lost my brother in 25 other families will forever be changed from i think that shows what type of person you are but i think if theyre smart theyll decide to take this life out of production and they wont try to sell to the public to save face for themselves frankly i think what they did was a p. R. Stunt and again its just a group looking to capitalize on tragedy. And i think staying without International Jimmy for updates at the top of their.
