Claims for working conditions at the social media giant the disclosure comes by a group of employees who filter extreme content from the time. For what you see every single day you see pain and suffering and for days its in fact in my mind and it just makes you angry. Because youre not doing anything. Very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teaching and moscow thanks for joining us this hour. Iran has urged the International Community to stop washingtons destabilizing actions in the persian gulf it comes after tehran shot down an American Military surveillance drone over the strategic strait of hormuz on thursday the u. S. President has spoken out on the incident saying the Islamic Republic has made. Miscalculation. I made a big mistake and they made a very bad mistake ok im going to know how i think youll find out and maybe youll find out youll find me i believe you are obviously obviously you know were not going to be talking too much about it youre going to find out they made a very big mistake it is the 1st direct confrontation between the 2 countries amid the current tensions which began when washington quit the 2015 nuclear deal held up and reports. In terms of words he seems to have indicated it could have been a human error he pointed out that it could have been a general or some other official who made the mistake of ordering for the drone to be shot down i find it hard to believe it was intentional if you want to know the truth i think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid our iran is said that the drone did indeed enter their airspace and violate their territory and that they intend to go to the United Nations in order to prove this they say that it was in the southern part of their country that this drone entered their airspace and that they shot it down for violating their airspace at this point weve got the Iranian Foreign minister condemning the United States for what he calls economic terrorism the us wages economic terrorism on iran has conducted covert action against those and now encroaches on our territory we dont seek war but was jealous lead to fend off sky land and waters will take this new aggression to the u. N. And show you that the u. S. Is lying about International Waters now the u. N. Secretary general antonio gets here as is calling on all parties to remain calm and exercise restraint i strongly hope that. The situation will be contained because as i said and i repeat the world does not really needs any measure of confrontation in the russian president Vladimir Putin recently said that an attack on iran would be potentially disastrous which id like to say straight away that a military conflict between the u. S. And iran would be a disaster at least for the region it would be an outburst of violence with terrible consequences its very hard to predict what would happen in the case of military force being used now many observers have noted that it seems that the white house is powerless and toward iran has been rather consistent this is how the United States has approached iran during the trumpet ministration of their neighbors or spread instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east its a rare. Major destabilize. Influence in the middle east spread death destruction and weve been trying to do is to get the world to be able like globalization. Now the United States recently sent a 1000 new troops to the middle east region in response to a supposed threat from the Islamic Republic of iran now on june 13th when 2 oil tankers were attacked the United States blamed iran for the incident however iranian officials were checked at those accusations outright and said that it was actually their ships that were on scene to rescue the sailors who had been hurt and take them for medical assistance so at this point all eyes are on the middle east region all eyes are on the u. N. Where International Bodies will be hearing and taking up this issue and all eyes are on washington as a response from the United States could be very possible after withdrawing from the nuclear deal the u. S. Imposed sanctions on iran and it wavers for countries that import oil in response iran reneged on some of the deal commitments the tanker and drone incidents happened in one of the worlds most Important Oil routes the strait of hormuz iran has threatened to close it if sanctions prevent it from selling its oil. A top Iranian National security official only a sham connett told us iran has never attacked anyone but is ready to repel any u. S. Strike. Or have whose. You can find out from statements always different for example statements from yesterday and today he also contradicts white house officials such political memories devoid of logic and common sense we do not take seriously his threats and contradictory statements but in the end it must be noted that the Islamic Republic of iran is not iraq or afghanistan we are a big state and have strong Popular Support both during the present but also pasta on ships the Islamic Republic has been Standing Firm and never attacked anyone and will not do that if we are attacked the aggressor regrets it at the same time we strive for peace and security in our region that is the policy of sanctions and the economic war against the iranian people will not yield and the results this is a hostile policy that will be defeated as a result. Well donald trump is flexing americas military muscles and front of iran a pentagon document shows the u. S. Military believes a nuclear war in the world is winnable and could be a good thing more on that later in the program. The speaker of the Georgian Parliament has resigned after massive protests in the capital the Russian Foreign ministry has accused the georgian radical opposition of using the visit of a russian delegation to mount protests 240. 00 people were injured including a Police Officers in terror ministry labeled the unrest a massive coup warning you may find the following pictures to starting.

In that year of door again speaker is this something which is just creating a problem what stability of the country or something which is the just touching independence and sovereignty of that country and it was easy to predict from the side of the government. Excellently and be livable how im competent is the government and its absolutely sure for me that the government did nothing poorly implemented in relation during the last few years so there was no any kind of positive in this the direction 2 of political parties. Themselves as a pro western and that right now 2 years they seem. To say. The people in their Political Goals and to just strengthen the russian really exist in the serious part of the georgian population back to only one would be blamed for the recent shouldnt. Be responsible. Government and. Government. Facebook is under fire once again after a report by the Technology Website the verge threw the spotlight on the way it treats staff it details the death of one of facebooks moderators at his workstation and the revelations were made by staff from a facebook contractor in florida called cognizant who are paid to filter extreme images that appear on the site they disclose poor working conditions among other issues warning you might find the following accounts disturbing. All what you see every single day you see pain and suffering and for days it in fact in my mind and it just makes you angry. Because theyre not doing anything the army of contractors working for Facebook Worldwide contains about 15000 employees contractors described having to work through as many as 200 graphic videos a day including footage of animal cruelty and extreme violence staff claim they are forced to work in unsanitary conditions suffering from bed bug and friends stations they also face bodily waste at work stations on a regular basis as well as numerous verbal and physical fights another concern raised was Sexual Harassment cases facebook itself says it handles all challenges related to the working environment it will inevitably be employee challenges all dissatisfactions the cool our commitment to this what kind of partners the employees into question when the circumstances warrant action on the part of management we make sure it happens facebook has already come under pressure to clamp down on what it allows online one incident in particular was the circulation of extremist content after 51 people were killed in the christchurch massacre in new zealand earlier this year meanwhile the social media giant and the contractor have vowed to introduce changes including salary boost and health care for stuff we put the issue up for debate. I think i think facebook take need to take more responsibility for their contractors this is as much about the law around working conditions in a particular offices and around the responsibility that facebook takes for its supply chain of the day the issue here is actually treating them better giving them better working conditions paying them more and and possibly keeping on top of the supply chain and making sure the cognisant arent cutting corners and giving them enough budget to run it smoothly so that they dont have to cut corners in terms of freezing it is a matter for the Internet Companies this case for. Sufficient resources for the race but the other important thing is 2 first we need greater cooperation between social Media Companies so for example google may have a much better if usually intelligence to read the video contained because its experience reduced you. To Share Technology we trace groups and the 2nd thing is to create Greater Transparency so to allow for an external body to go into facebook and all the. Process in terms of moderation i dont think the technology is yet sophisticated enough to be the solution quite yet and the moderators themselves can identify the type of content that needs action to be taken and action has been taken in some cases it hasnt been taken in all instances and we need to understand what the level of investment is where the things of things are falling through the cracks whether that is the congress and then what its reported to facebook what its passed on to the authorities we need to have a password or a more quite means of doing this but were not going to get away intel or Technology Improves dramatically were going to go away from the need for human moderators the moderators need to be able to work very very and with great really great reels. So i think this is the scenario that would be to facebook to this much much more. Money. Into the recent protests facebook needs to be investing far more in the technology to assist some of these moderators and you could pixelate out faces you could do certain measures to make it more pleasant for all the employees are having to do this moderation still to come spying on a whistleblower a Police Recording reveals the Ecuadorian Embassy it was eavesdropping on join us sunshine that story and more after this short break. You know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. Make this manufacture consent to public wealth. When the ruling classes protect themselves. With the flame of merry go round lifts and be the one percent. We can all middle of the room sick. Real news group. Welcome back European Commission leaders have failed to agree on hold take up the reins of the blocks top posts a special summit for june 30th has now been announced well theyll be another attempt to break the deadlock the Commission PresidentCouncil President and 4 other top jobs were meant to have been chosen by now the cross live now to our peter oliver for more on this so peter why the impasse. Well the impasse put very simply by the irish Prime Minister leo varadkar is the process of electing people is tougher than putting a pulp empower that was according to the irish to shock. Top jobs are up for grabs these are serious positions theres a lot of thought has to go into whos going to fill these positions particularly Commission President and who will take over from john claude younger also the Council President current role the Foreign Affairs representative position which is currently filled by federico the reason its taking well so long in order to to try and put up with solutions to filling these places is that busy the system called spics and can do that in germany in germany it means basically top down that preferred candidates it goes in these type of stages basically whoever the parties the groups within a big part of the groups within the European Parliament each put forward their own preferred candidates whoever gets the most points the most seats out of everybody standing in the european elections well they start from them so it was month of the European Peoples Party who got the most seats in the european elections that means they looked at him 1st and they work down from there however did nothing to impress on thursday evening we understand he was rejected outright so the stages are they have to select somebody who gets the majority overall amongst heads of state thats then sent to the. To the European Parliament who then votes on it and if they get through well they become european Council President however if they dont the system starts over again and its coming its a system thats come in for some real serious criticism. And its really been the most prominent voice who spoken out against the spits and candidate system he has backed Michel Barnier the former i guess you can say former now chief of briggs that negotiation. Yes well hes backed him he said that the Current System doesnt allow candidates to come through from smaller parties interestingly enough of course mr representing and marche they are a much Smaller Party in the european the European Parliament or merkel here in germany she bucked a man for it verba which is understandable the european peoples bodies linked to her christian democratic and social Christian Social Union here in germany so she supported them however what we heard from mr mccollum was that he would have actually supported im going to merkel if shed gone for the position of European Commission president i have nothing against a german candidacy i said it and wasnt a joke had the chancellor been a candidate i would have supported her because i think she has the qualities the skills to be a very good
