Great to have your company you watching the weekly here on r. T. International. The iranian president says that he wants gulf nations to Work Together to provide security in the region comes after his countrys standoff with the u. S. Intensified this week or shinton accused iran of being behind a drone attack on an all refinery in saudi arabia and made this pledge of support to riyadh. The president has approved the deployment of u. S. Forces which will be defensive in nature and primarily focused on air and Missile Defense we will also work to accelerate the delivery of military equipment to the kingdom of saudi arabia and the u. A. E. To enhance their ability to defend themselves it is clear that even the saudis themselves dont believe the fiction of the rain involvement. Whether the drone a missile or tanks were claimed by the rebels in yemen on friday saudi forces launched several last strikes near the yemeni port city of data Saudi Coalition spokesman said that the goal was to prevent rebels from launching remote controlled assaults on shipping in the red sea the saudis and us will blame iran for the attack on the or facility. Has more. That is being decided that iran did it and that started opinion will find it will the result of an investigation its a decision guilty secretary do you 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 un 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 month. Rob is doing what trump does best signing pieces of paper bringing to bear a slew of new sanctions against iran if these are the highest sanctions ever imposed on a country weve never done it to this level. And its too bad whats happening with iran its going to hell the americans who werent attacked of already decided what happened then who is guilty the saudis who were attacked and have all the day bree and bits and pieces of the missiles are still working on technicalities like evidence and proof let that sink in. The attack did not originate from yemen the attack was launched from the move and was unquestioned be sponsored by iran its not in the range of yemens capabilities if it was them who conducted the attack this is one of the missiles we have recovered and we have information that leads us to the source of these kind of components were made in iran. So what they found is the weapons were allegedly made with iranian components they were fired from the north the direction of iran and its neighbors so cutting to the chase it was iran thats what youre going to say right not once during the presentation that the saudis specifically say that iran did it 1 may ask what on earth saudi defenses were doing at the time theyve got the 3rd biggest military budget on earth one of americas best clients the countrys livid with patriot and other anti Missile Systems 80000000000. 00. As a year should protect you from a score of drones and missiles no the only thing that might be iranian related is that maybe some of the equipment some of the technology that the who these have might have been incorporated into the attack but why why or why is anyone complaining especially the saudis since the us has been providing the bombs and the aircraft to the saudis to bomb yemen for 4 years so the who with these are just responding back then again to those saying its iran because their alleged iranian components in the day breach does not mean that the us is responsible for horrific massacre in yemen i mean sure saudi arabia dropped the bombs but those say made in the United States more likely than not has been clearing the shelves of american arms manufacturers recently by this logic is new need to investigate to collect evidence its american bombs it has got to be america. And. An entire country reduced to misery and pain untold thousands dead more to die but you know what its the oil refinery in saudi arabia the book was vengeance. And beijing activists in hong kong have staged another protest the samuel to the most chinese territories in the grip of a 16 consecutive weekend of demonstrations in a mess the protestors are been waving American Flags and destroying chinese ones in the sense of a place in the city used tear gas and rubber bullets riot is. Threw molotov cocktails and started fires on the streets. In mancinis de leading name in the Hong Kong Protest Movement appealed to u. S. Lawmakers in Congress Just one wants them to pass a bill that would see great to u. S. Support for Hong Kong Hong kong special status under american law that bans on the city being treated as a separate customs area beijing should not have it both ways wrapping all the economy benefit of hong kong standing in the world while erosion of our freedom that is the most important reason why the hong kong human rights and democracy act and just the bought some throws off hong kong civil society. One is a prominent Student Activist who organizes protests against the Chinese Government in support of hong kongs independence and 22 year olds also a leader of the prodemocracy party. Hes already served several jail terms for his activities used on of explains why warms plan for us supervision over hong kong might backfire. They are many theyve won the fight with the authorities by early submission but they are anything but done the American Flag waving taskforce among the hong kong protesters are sending their poster boy to convince us legislators to do Something Big on autonomy. Well for those of you having difficulty making out the absence of this boilerplate script its that human rights and democracy act and its meant to show beijing that the u. S. Is serious about fighting for hong kongs rights the United States must make clear to china that its interference in hong kongs affairs will have consequences this month we must possibly cameron bipartisan on Consumer Rights and democracy act the bill was devised in response to what the u. S. Has been calling a chinese infringement on the regions autonomy and requires for america to review own homes special status annually and if that status is ever revoked the regions autonomy would not so much been friendly to but rather new to dust since the early ninetys hong kong has been enjoying huge advantages for wearing washingtons special status badge. And some believe that a small yet vocal group of protesters is laying an explosive tripwire for the whole region which will not enjoy the konami Chain Reaction if its ever triggered in a way that is theyve just. To get a hold of the d the biggest economy in the World Without us this city will always just ordered. But was is going to hold a great deal but its not just the whole poorly there are thousands of United States dont believe it would likewise be affected of course its a political war because. It calls only or percent of charlus the problem he was the. Head of the deal years ago in me a call to all moral as far as equality is also. All but low is also sent on the other hand of course we law i would wish the one computers as the sea so as to help with the internationalization the religion with. All american legislators say the bill is designed to punish Mainland China specifically as protesters want sean not to but while the end goal may very well be punishing beijing in pursuit of a geo political supremacy washington my just overlook the collateral damage. The fate of these really Prime Minister hangs in the balance after the arab block the joint list gave its backing to form a new government to netanyahu main rival to the recent election resulted in deadlock the israeli president has initiated 2 days of crunch talks with parties to decide who will be the next leader. I know we usually did not indorse is ready p. M. s so without doubt there is an historical side to what were doing now we want to put an end to the era of Binyamin Netanyahu therefore will endorse benny gantz to form the next government we want to live in a Peaceful Place based on ending the occupation the establishment of a palestinian state alongside the state of israel true equality to civil and National Level social justice and democracy for all. This is the citizens of israel this happen just as we warned the arab joint list recommended by any chance for Prime Minister there are 2 possibilities now either a minority government will be formed that relies on those who reject israel as a jewish and Democratic State and glorified terrorists that murder all soldiers and citizens or a Broad National government will be formed i know what the answer is and so do you and therefore ill do whatever i can do for more Broad National unity government there is no other solution. On the block of arab parties known as joint list came 3rd this week getting 5 more seats than in the previous election is thought that that was spurred in part by netanyahu inflammatory remarks about arab districts and their potential for voter fraud led to a spike in arab voter turnout switch it around 59 percent the leader of the Arab Joint List Alliance to the outcome of the election was the price of incitement israel faces the prospect of a 3rd round of elections in less than a year if an agreement between the blocs isnt reached and against the center left blue and White Alliance won 33. 00 seat of the center right likud party was just behind but it seems israels destiny could now be determined by the leader of the years frail but taina party who came in 5th political commentator in the last respects planes why. Very important because what he is saying is it will probably mean that the president will turn to benny gantz to try and form a government having said that we know that the president of israel is very keen to form a National JointNational Government of likud and blue and white the fact that the israeli arab vote came out much more if it was about 10 percent higher than it did last time and the voices weve heard today is actually showing that israeli democracy is much stronger than the cause of hatred against certain members or parts of the population today the Israeli Arabs voted in strength to try and bring down the government of netanyahu and work as a democratic country for a better hope both parties both in that in yahoo and. Gantz dont have enough to make a majority even even when as the backing of the arab list the person who is the king bank is lieberman and he holds the balance of power in the lieberman has been saying that he wasnt going to recommend anyone to the president to be the preferred to form the coalition what we do know he has a personal dislike for netanyahu and actually was responsible for bringing down the government and cause and 2nd elections or the momentum that led to it at least so we really are in a stalemate i think we should be looking less at how these arab vote is but which way lieberman is going to actually be voting. Identity crisis facebook now trying to say publisher not just for the legal case that could have a major impact on what is posted on the site to bring you that story and others this break. What politicians do something to. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Some want to. Have to go right to the press this is what the 4 Korean People are. Interested in the why. Tensions between the masses and classes have existed ever since modern states came into being but often serve as a driver of political change with Russian Civil Society growing larger and louder against the excesses of the governing it leaks what does the future of the political system look like. Welcome back social media giant facebook is apparently undergoing an identity crisis and has changed the way it describes itself from being a platform to a publisher and that could have major consequences in a recent legal case facebook claimed that it was a publish insisting it has the right to ban whoever it wants but i would also make it liable for what goes out on the platform a responsibility of this previously tried to dodge. So what have we got here. Thats better. Plaintive ultra right web 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 could fly 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 need to facebook know 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 your 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 and app startup was crossing swords with facebook in court this is what came from the network spent the thought discretion is if 3 speechwriter respect to 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 make exactly on of a publisher. Well i agree that were responsible for the content 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 alloted its well known you can have a cake and eat it at the same time will probably unless your last name is sucker berg we have facebook to respond to the story so far they have not commented.
