Broadcasting live from moscow this is R T International and sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us our exit polls are from the u. K. General election are predicting it the conservative partys biggest victory in 30 years the vote count is underway and if the projections are correct Boris Johnson has won a new term as Prime Minister a quick look at the numbers for you there are 650 seats in the house of commons so a party needs at least 326 to hold a majority and if the exit polls are accurate the conservatives will be well clear of that number with 368 seats for more we can. Get through who is in london following all of the drama for us. So if the exit polls are correct it looks like an historic night for the tories and a disaster for the labor party what more can you tell us about whats going on there. Well this is being billed as the next generation unfold is the. Manos who were hoping for a 2nd referendum while on state they had it in 201620192 the people spoke and the people want out of the e. U. Up and down the country people wind rain and shine stood in the longest of queue some even waited 45 minutes in order to cost. Johnson was the fast Prime Ministerial full to cost his vote right now this morning and he was snapped getting good luck from his pet the polling stations have closed and the vote count is now underway while we wait for the official results we do have an exit poll which is a very reliable and solid indication of how things pan out and the exit poll is projecting a landslide conservative majority not only are they on course to get 386. 00 of the 650. 00 seats in the house of commons that gives them a 48. 00 plus margin it will also give them a lot paying 177. 00 seats in need over the labor party is really a wipeout. Of course this is a personal victory too because he took the reins simply by virtue of the fact that reason may resigned in july and since then hes been battling off accusations that he has neither the support nor the mandate to run the government so this will be vindication for him it will also apparently be a very festive gift. Lets be called a new drink as i say by 20 to be called the new. This 6 Week Campaign has not been short of and to taint none of the candidates have meant Jeremy Corbin the head of the labor party right out mean tweets about himself of course who can forget that Boris Johnson stole a reporters phone and then hid in a fridge bizarrely but really joking aside this election was crucial because it will tell. And the fate of it with a majority conservative find it very easy to pass legislation through parliament which means that finally we might see something other than deadlock. And westminster of course johnson over the past 3 years has faced accusations that he misled the British Public when he said that it would be easy it would be wonderful but it actually seems that its precisely johnsons dual died that that has led to a triumph in the polls showing just how fed up the British Public is but also how much june 26th he has changed british politics. Im fine im sure it is all over the country will be hoping to remain as cool for that 2nd referendum peoples vote will finally be put to rest thats how its looking at the moment the way it goes one thing is for sure the british electorate has been put through the wringer in recent times which is why i decided to take a look at how we came about. Pumping to the polls on a saturday afternoon has become a new tradition. The brits love that theyre also pretty partial to a best guess but it seems theyve also developed a new fondness for the next its thursday saw the 3rd general election in just 4 years so how did we end up on this roller coaster again it was well my friends its the usual suspect yeah you guessed it the. Works its to play it turns out that decision taken by those 17400000 people in june 26th exit the e. U. Set off a Chain Reaction thats led to this moment but im guessing ahead of myself lets start from the beginning the british people have made a very clear decision to take a different part of my view we should aim to have a new Prime Minister in place ok so now were down one Prime Minister lets see how the next one a couple of weeks later to resume a took on the an enviable role of finding a way through the press that wilderness and she was very clear about her goal bricks it means bricks it bricks it wrecks it wrecks it means bricks it and where were going to make a success of it the original deadline was set for march 29th teen oh those early days of optimism but this is possibly the most Divisive Political issue the u. K. Has faced in recent memory m. P. s have never felt so important all powerful so its unsurprising that may was thwarted at every turn by those less willing to cut ties with our european friends fed up she decided to go in and call a snap election in june 27th in we need a general election and we need one now i have concluded that the only way to guarantee certainty and stability for the years ahead is to hold this election but it was a gamble that just didnt pay off the conservatives. Lost the majority they counting on tide already me to also taught at this point every single. And of this i am absolutely sure you the public have had enough you are tired of the infighting your charge of the political games and the arcane procedural rounds but disappointment in the polls was really the least of mays problems the opposition tried to get rid of her own m. P. s tried to get rid of her and then she said shed get rid of herself if only theyd back deal which they didnt and it just ended up being too much from a who decided to finally hang up her lap it heels i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love ok so now were down to Prime Ministers whos our lucky introducing Boris Johnson former mayor of london a bit of a daft man just like his predecessor he was absolutely adamant that he be the one to get it done can you make a promise today to the British Public that you will not go back to brussels and ask for another delay to practice it yet and so you can and would you like. Ditch. To his credit hes really gone for it he was sick of parliament blocking his ideas so dissolved that got trouble for to solve it so then he went to the e. U. And negotiated a new deal which parliament defeated and then they forced to quest and not that brets that extension which he really really really didnt want to do but to do anyway and then he just decided enough so not so wasnt she taunted the Opposition Party into facing off at a general election in order to quote get it done which my friends i think brings you up today. Earlier i spoke to alan skoda. Excuse me professor of International History at the London School of economics he sees the election as a 2nd referendum on drugs. They predicted exactly this cut of a george to win the campaign started and then they loot to see if the polls would tightening up. And that labor was making some sort of comeback some polls yesterday was saying the borders might not get a majority it was only about 5 percent in it. Might be a Hung Parliament but the last poll that came this evening said that he had a lead in the polls would by 11 percent and he would get a big majority in the b. B. C. Exit poll suggests he made a good job with georgia of about 86. 00 which you know hasnt been seen for 20 years in britain this is more or less a 2nd referendum on bracks it and its been an overwhelming indorsement of blowers to get done and i think the remain is still in denial but this election result shows the true been and so little democrats have been crushed and the labor party is also being crushed its got the worst its all the poll is right since 935. 00. And escalating diplomatic row has stepped up another level russia has expelled 2 german diplomats this comes in response to a similar move by berlin all amid a spat over a murder probe what hes done a quarter picks up the story for us. The Russian Foreign minister has given the diplomats in question 7 days to leave the country in a tit for tat response to the German Governments decision when they themselves decided to expel 2 Russian Diplomats the german ambassador has received a note of protest over the grounds decision to expel 2 Russian Diplomats from berlin as a mere response to german diplomats must leave russia within the next 7 days now it was just last week that the German Government made this decision to expel 2 Russian Diplomats for the cut from the country and the official report said that russia was not being. Active enough in cooperating with and vesta geisha in to the murder of a Georgian National named zelin can congress feeley now the german prosecutors even say that russia moscow may have ordered the murder itself but russia denies these claims and even warned that there would be a mere response the federal Foreign Office today declared to employees of the Russian Embassy in berlin to be persona nongrata with this step the federal government reacts the fight to the russian authorities despite repeated high level and in fact requests to no sufficiently participate in the investigation of the murder of tony k. K. In berlin zoo you could if the unit was look it is incorrect to expel the 2 Russian Diplomats who had nothing to do with the murder thats put reciprocal measures as you know there are rules you expel our diplomats we expel ules thats that now president putin has said that russia has asked for the extradition of Congress Fairly many times which the German Government is now saying never happened but to bring our viewers up to Speed Congress really was killed back in august and the media immediately blamed russia for this he was living in germany since 2017 and had connections not only had ties to chechen terrorists but also fought against russia in the 2nd chechen war so its not hard to imagine why the russian government would be interested in arresting him on charges of terrorism. Middle when you put them on who was killed in berlin was not your average georgian he was a militant he fought on behalf of separatists from the caucuses he was on russias wanted list he was a very cruel man once he killed 98 people he was one of the organizers of bombings of moscow metro i dont know what happened to him as a criminal since everything can happen there so again moscow has always expressed its willingness to cooperate in this investigation but the initial expulsion of Russian Diplomats on germanys part doesnt exactly mark good faith from berlin. Hugh bronson from the alternative for Germany Party shared his views with us easy to divert from your own security failings and from your own optimal police work by blaming somebody else and looking for a scapegoat and i believe this has happened here it was a mistake to jump to conclusions and instantly to blame russia without actually knowing what has actually happened this is not the way Serious Police work so 3 years ago we had a radical islamist here the lead who took the truck as a weapon and killed 12 people at Christmas Fair now these are the real threats we are facing and not a diplomatic spat. Time magazine has unveiled its a choice for person of the year 16 year old climate activist going to turn berg or his Daniel Hawkins look into the tomb berg phenomenon. Last year she was just the regular swedish schoolgirl 12 months on and shes times person of the year rarely does the discussion on Climate Change today take place without her name being mentioned growth of the work has become a global sensation not just a prominent figure among climate activists but almost a messianic symbol to pulls no punches in schooling politicians about what they must do to save the planet the real danger is when politicians and c. E. O. s are making it look like real action is happening when in fact almost nothing is being done apart from clever accounting and creative p. R. She certainly does have a point but what about the growth of film bug phenomenon itself its on the noise quickly and loudly drawn attention to Climate Change shes got people talking and even been credited with influencing european and National Elections but wants more than just talking she wants action from politicians or the critics question what useful action grettir inspired movements have actually taken from strikes and protests which she herself says are unsustainable we cant go on like this it is not Sustainable Solutions that children skip school we cant go on like that so now we dont want to continue so we would we would love some action from people in power her speech is resonated across the world it wasnt long before her fiery indictment of World Leaders at the un Assembly Became a meme now they followed a clear structure grave danger bad government and the need for immediate action she soon became a target for opponents who said her ideas it lacks substance and slated her style but that was quickly knocked on the head criticism was often swiftly silenced with those critiquing her justifiably or no. Not labeled as massage honest hysterical or being triggered the climate hysteria movement is not about science if it were about science it would be led by scientists rather than by politicians and the mentally ill swedish child who is being exploited by her parents and by the international lair you. Markku knows of daily wanna just call gretz a phone beggar mentally ill swedish child she is mad and dangerous and shes causing the Young Children sleepless noise to move to the juicy gossip shes a she needs to go to school and show that i was fascinated by this school girl starting this strike for Climate Change awareness and i thought wow thats pretty gutsy it was all a little melodramatic it was all in the world of pocalypse i dont want millions if not believes of young people watching great to do that kind of speech and genuinely think the planet is literally about the way she is daring to express so many young people are feeling and actually i find it remarkable that she can speak in such an honest way its truth to kathy is he speaking some of her actions a ridiculed like her transatlantic boat trip having sailed through storms to avoid Carbon Emissions from air travel she sailed into a storm of criticism when a fellow companions jointer flying in by plane not to mention the impracticality of adopting such measures on a wider scale this brings us back to growth as words about politicians creative p. R. World leaders from merkel to micron among others were happy to humor the latest global trend with a photo opportunity while rebuking some of our ideas so what does this leave the person of the year at 2019 which is certainly sent a message taken center stage and brought people into the streets with a call it is now time for civil. Disobedience its time to rebel but will this have the desired effect the only thing you want to see is real action and reaction has not been happening so of course we have. A lot but. But if you look at it from. Far from a certain point of view we have achieved nothing like her all over she has created a stir it may be difficult to understand the method behind a person of the year awards one of good as runner ups was donald trump maybe we can agree to hope that this years award isnt just symbolic isnt Just Creative p. R. But will lead to the real change the grettir seeks to create you tube is tightening its rules on harassment and hed been storing much more of short break this is our internet. When the balance came in 2008 oh theres a lot of money printing going on people said well wheres the inflation the government says theres no inflation you know and then a lot of people say well actually health care and education are skyrocketing in value you dont count those and thats why youre misreading inflation and this has been going on for years and new evidence suggests. We found it police found the missing inflation. Each similar thing civilization would be able to run using a tiny fraction of its resources. Hundreds of thousands millions of runs through all of Human History almost all. Beings with our kinds of experiences with them to simulated ones rather than known simulated ones conditional and we should think we are probably one of the simulated ones. Which. Are welcome mechanisms are to international now you tube is getting tougher on users who insult each other on the basis of race gender or Sexual Orientation after unveiling a new anti harassment rules our policies will not only prevent explicit but also revealed or implied threats we will no longer allow content that maliciously insult someone based on protected actually views such as their race gender expression or Sexual Orientation. In florida and you tube became massive was you tube was having beef and drama the line between criticism and horace mint is now so blurred nobody knows where they stand veiled or implied threats vague language thats highly subjective that allows them to effectively silence anything regardless of content predictable you tube is not allowed to censor people like a public or going to station while also claiming the special Legal Protections given to platforms you can have it both ways media commentator gina loudon told us there is a lack of understanding between Internet Users and a video platform standards. I think the fact that these socalled rules are so very loosely defined therein lies the problem because when you dont have well defined rules what you end up with is subjectivity and thats always been the problem with you to entire groups of people have been deemed monetise ive had this happen on my own you tube channel where my videos have been taken down because something didnt meet their Community Standards and a lot of times i cant even tell what it is i didnt think anything was offensive it may be past the Major Network test in the United States but it doesnt pass the you tube test so it really makes you kind of wonder you either have free speech or you dont and if you have free speech then that should be exactly that free and it should be broadly applied and just because something offends me doesnt mean that you should not have the right to say it in fact perhaps its more important that you do have the right to say it as long as perhaps or not inciting violence which i think is where we would all like to draw that line some believe that the reason behind this is politically motivated and the problem is that when you dont have well defined rules that make sense to everybody regardless of Political Party youre going to have people feeling like this was subjectively applied. Donald trump has signed an executive order with of the goal of combating antisemitism on College Campuses the order threatens to withhold federal funding to colleges and universities if they fail to take action against the problem. If you want to receive federal dollars you must reject semitism and if they dont they dont get. Hundreds of millions of dollars to see the money that we pour into these colleges and then they do what they were doing so we will not permit jewish bigotry on our College Campuses and if they want to do that its going to be extremely costly itll be amazing how quickly they stop when the executive order expands the 1964 Civil Rights Act to specifically prohibit discrimination against the jews the act already outlaws Racial Discrimination in programs that receive federal funds President Trump also condemned a Global Movement boycotting goods from territories occupied by israel my administration also forcefully condemns the socalled boycott divestment and sanctions movement that b d s. My administration will not stand for these malicious attacks upon the state of israel discrimination against members of jewish faith and the jewish faith it has to be confronted at every turn and we will confront it at every turn. Code pink activist ariel gold to seize the executive order as an attack on free speech. This is a dangerous attack on our 1st amendment right to free speech and its an attack on students it will serve to silence dialogue 8 now its real and it will serve seeds i will eat its in let it move me one of the reasons that thomas doing this speaker hugged how great is he right wing in providence was good and evil its a. Bird its right yes legislation he does that look misplaced brierly statement made and so trump is using an executive order its here so were just getting violates the 1st movement and its in response to the reality that b. D. S. Will have the movement for ellis to be rights in general has been growing rapidly becoming or at or ocular especially on College Campuses this executive order really has nothing to do with it its about. Shutting down in the mood for l. S. D. And writes its not their president who writes. That does it for me i will be back at top the hour with more news this is Art International stay with us. The good. Good. Good. Good. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe from. Isolation full community. Are you going the right way or are you being lets. Dial in. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a made in the shallowness. Thats in the individual i think very much i have to do what i think is right i have to friend to defend my values have to defend my principles and if i feel the state is not doing it according to what i think is the right thing them i have to stand up and say its not good enough and if i as a human its. Feel that the next to me is not respected and treated in the dignified way that i have to also stand up in this regard so yes we have to do it despite that it is maybe a very long term fight and we are not necessarily winning. And we dont know what facebooks aims are in fact facebook doesnt know what its aims are because its going to be the sum total of all the people who are working on these algorithms a whistleblower someone who used to work for facebook came forward last year and said i was one of the news curators at facebook a bunch of us to sit around every day and we used to remove stories from the news feed that were too conservative and now and then we inject a story that we thought was really cool. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg says hes committed to giving everyone a voice hes from responding to an allegation that facebook edits conservative views out of its trending topics they can suppress certain types of results based on what they think you should be seeing based on what your followers are presenting now a new report claims that according to a former facebook employee the social media mega company sometimes ignores what is actually trending among its 1000000000 users if this story originated from a conservative news source or if its a topic causing buzz among conservatives. Facebook costly manipulates or users they do it by the things that they insert into the news feeds they do it by the types of posts they allow their users to see and the fact that they actually decided to do psychological experiments on the users is something that i think a lot of people need to really fully understand and they were doing it based upon the fact that Different Things that people posted they want to see how other people would react to it. On. Watch why your facebook friends posts can have a direct effect on your mood new Research Shows the more negative posts you see the more negative you could become. So if for example lets say somebody wanted to post something that was on the news feed that was a very negative story they wanted to see how their users would react via their likes by their statements for their posts and they would show people who already had a predilection to maybe having some depression or maybe having some other issues in their lives and they can figure that out based upon your like space upon your connections based upon where youre going and so what they want to do is take that information and then use it to basically weaponize this information against their user so that way their users could see Different Things that may affect their mood and may affect how they interact with others and thats something that is highly unethical it appears that some young people may have been so affected by this that they may have done harm to themselves based upon what they saw on their facebook feed and it was all because it is experiments and things that we have no standing with the spoke were not citizens of facebook we have no place but its not a democracy
