i. can't believe. this is radio. but a c.n.n. producer is caught on camera saying the channel doesn't have proof from. covering the story for ratings. russia is the latest us threat to use military force against the assad government except. for the white house claims that moscow is preparing to use chemical weapons in syria. and more trouble for the british prime minister gets short shrift to. deal with a minor party to. shrug from brussels.

writes. just after three pm here in the russian capital this choose the june twenty seventh welcome to the program you know neal our top story a producer for america a c.n.n. news channel has a partly being caught on camera saying the networks russia coverage is more about ratings than offering solid facts investigative journalism group project. released a hidden camera video conversation here's a video although not yet able to verify its authenticity. the morning c.n.n. constantly like russia that's for sure that this is ratings this ratings raiser credible right now but honestly. it's just like.

it's mostly right now we don't have any. giant. proof they don't have it but they say it would he do. and so i think president is probably right to say. look who are we trying to to the c.e.o. of c.n.n. said in our internal meeting he said good job everybody covering the climate accords. but we're down with the let's get back to russia we've contacted c.n.n. the people who are released the video to get their comments we'll let you know as soon as we hear it back. explains more now about what's in the video on the group behind it. well we should be cautious here careful even we've you know been trying to verify what we what we can that there really is a stuff a called john boehner field a c.n.n. producer listed on their web site visually he certainly looks like the guy in the

video ratings trump all that is what this video says according to him c.n.n. has now mentioned russia sixteen thousand times just since trump was elected c.n.n. has really beat at the forefront of all these russian shenanigans they've gone to breaking news that the mere mention of russia you know one of the reports near rumors that unverified sources good enough to talk about russia they've been trying to tie trump and russia as hard as they can for a very long time now you know the results well that the people judge it is also salad cnn's relationship with the white house can you give us a question. that if you are not going to give you a question you speak out if you are shake dues back in our network i just want to ask you sir i'm changing from fake news though doesn't that under very fake arch

you. project there it ass and the guy behind it james o'keefe he's made a name for himself he shoots these candid recordings usually under cover where people are much more on this than they would be in front of the camera and he said you know from out of the democratic party in the united states he's targeted them a number of times and that has landed him in trouble because one company has sued him and now faces a million dollars lawsuit after infiltrating in alleged democratic consulting for posing as someone else and secretly secretly recording them he says that that is an intimidation tactic that they're trying to intimidate him and we've again we've contacted. i'm trying to verify this story but this as i said if this is true it certainly you know would certainly huge let's see how c.n.n. wriggles out of this one because if it doesn't than that very very think new.

zealand itself is going to stick well in another development three journalists from c.n.n. have resigned over the retraction of a russia related story from its website the network sais it was fallen to be in violation of its standard editorial process donald trump reacted to the news again saying c.n.n. is guilty of publishing fake news and all this let's bring in british m.e.p.a. from the u.k. independence party david coburn david thanks for taking the time to talk to us this hour in the video we just been watching parts of it the suppose that c.n.n. producer sees the channels russia coverage is mostly a ratings very direct language about what i suppose does that tell you about the editorial culture in big like that. well i think that says a lot about it really is terrifying the case but you know fake news seems to be running

around america a lot trying to nail president trump all the time b.c. clearly the media do not like president trump they don't like the fact that he's been elected by the american people and they seem to be doing their level best to trash him and this seems to be an example of that we mentioned the project is known for its undercover videos what do you make of that kind of method to to get information because i will put it to you that it's rare to get such a statement from somebody in an organization saying a statement such as that and people in very would say well there are no other ways to hold the media i coachable to get such an answer i suppose other than doing that what's your thoughts on the whole issue of iran. well i mean this is it happens a lot these days i i assume everybody's trying to recall me and probably not wrong

about that it's very difficult these days to avoid that you should always assume that whenever you're talking to anyone that it's going to be recorded but that's just the way of the modern world with technology the way it's going. many stories about the trumpet mistake russia they're based on named sources that's a term we've heard a lot over the past year is it really the case when they need to be protected when it happens so often it begs the question whether it's even ethical. well this is a question new year anyone could turn around and say oh another name source we get lots of it in the united kingdom. had the same sort of problem. and we tend to go after the policies they perceived to be right wing our parties not as a libertarian but anything that is not socialist or extreme wet liberal. we think is that is the devil so therefore they have the right to do whatever they like and

they generally do but these people even on both sides questioning it because some members of the democratic party say that the focus on the trump russian links has actually damaged the party brand the democratic party brand do you agree with that . yes i do i think one of the reasons a president trying to get elected as people are sick and tired of being told what to do what to think by the liberal media. and the professional politicians that seem to spend all their time and lecturing us of what we should think and do and so i think that is a reaction against that they don't want the common people invading their space they don't like the fact that the only internet and on social media people can have the same sort of strength to affect public opinion as the main media broadcasters they're just trying to protect their jobs and they're doing it in the in an ugly way just finally with this. new video coming to light do you think that possibly

the big news organizations that aren't getting virg fired information will perhaps think twice. releasing information that they know is not completely right or cannot be proven is there going to be a sea change or is it just business as usual. and i think people will start to think about this and also people will rationally question if they say there's no source for the other source we have to keep. people ask themselves this fake news well i think president trumps and so that for an awful lot of us it's fake news so i think president trump is is a revelation for the well rather good thing he's been meeting it making it quite clear that we've all been duped by by big government media all tied together and they've been calling the people so no with the internet and the president trump.

you're able to see that we're we're bringing the facts to the people we are avoiding the usual mainstream sources i think that is as a good thing for society in general all right that's the thoughts of british m.e.p. from the u.k. independence party david coburn thanks david. russia sees the latest us threat to target the syrian government is all except of all the white house earlier claimed the assad leadership is preparing to launch a chemical weapons attack president trumps press secretary says the u.s. will take action if that happens the united states has identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the saddam regime the united states is in syria to eliminate the slum extent of iraq and syria if however mr assad conducts another mass murder attack using chemical weapons he and his military will pay a heavy price for mideast correspondent paula slayer has the international reaction to those claims. let's first look at the wording the statement says that they have

detected potential preparations that would likely result in mass civilian casualties particularly innocent children are that's quite emotive language obviously used to garner support for such a statement the statement also talks about a potential preparations but what exactly does this mean there are no details given other than that it is similar or seemingly similar to what the u.s. detected before the last chemical attack back in april the statement also says any chemical attack in syria in the immediate future will be blamed on assad and his allies now there is no investigation no due process just punishment and of course we have to ask the question about the timing of the statement now assad is making major gains in syria's especially against terrorist groups like islamic state so why issue a statement like that now now the kremlin has responded saying that it is familiar with the statement but it is not aware of its basis we categorically disagree with the wording another attack or to do so as you know despite many calls from russia

for an independent international investigation it never happened so we don't see that it's possible to blame the syrian government considers such threats to the legitimate government of the syrian arab republic unacceptable but at the same time it's important to point out what we consider an acceptable use of chemical weapons . the potential danger of repeated provocation with chemical weapons in syria still exists does force the damascus government goes they've denied the white house allegations that they may be preparing for a new chemical attack they insist again that they've never used such arms at the same time we're hearing from several state department officials who are typically involved in coordinating such announcements and they say that they were caught completely off guard by the warning which didn't appear to be discussed in advance with any other kind of national security agencies and then the united kingdom is weighing in it says that a hold back u.s. action against syria despite seeing no evidence on. office and major attack even

being paid we fully supported the last strike that took the air of planes and the support that they required to drop chemical weapons and if the united states is considering a similar strike then we'll support that too you have the united states promising punishment to have a side saying that he will defend himself and then you have allies of assad saying that they will back him so you certainly see in syria this mix that really presents a kind of time bomb that is ready to blow up at any time. international affairs professor surround thinks the latest allegations from the white house should be taken with a pinch of salt you know intelligence the so-called intelligence that many consultant were taught as a pretext for taking military action has often been politicized or needs not necessarily very accurate i don't think they have access to the inside of the syrian regime to be just going to find otoh are there determining you don't also we

have been looked at and what needs to be off of the show you know this was it i can even through again often manage to get me going back to center piece was going to be a one off thing a not really but since then the trends have not been encouraging it was on as you said becoming more and more dangerous and we have brought down a cd and now it costs every cent he may have been true to you don't you don't hear me out of drones that are keeping an eye on isis so in the name of chemical weapons what is going on these these you know they're sticking on a very telling city on sunday russians i mean audience studio i want to own anything i mean then we've used chemical weapons you. leave us allegations come despite moscow's latest call for washington to stay clear of provocations in syria russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov made that comment in a phone conversation with his u.s. counterpart the cole was initiated by washington and was the first time the

diplomats have spoken since the donning of a syrian military jet by the u.s. more than a week ago now the to discuss the need to consolidate a cease fire in syria as well as suppressing attempts to use chemical weapons by any party in the conflict and as mentioned mr o. stress the u.s. avoids provocations like shooting down syrian cruft. on the way more trouble for treason may haue she promises to spend a billion puns in northern ireland. all the food we go through. every the world should experience. and you get the old. the old according to just.

come along for the ride. in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around corporate corporations washington washington media the media the. voters elect the businessman to run this country business because. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . welcome back to the program there seems to be very little applause for the british prime minister's solution to propping up her weak government treason may is

spending an extra one billion pounds on northern ireland in order to get the provinces democratic unionist party to support her in parliament this is see a trip to reports on how it might not be the damage control mrs may's hoping it will be. i was writing something very very nice because you are hiring her right instead of stepping down the british prime minister had a different plan but it seemed like whichever way she turned there was potential for trouble the tories have penned a deal with the democratic unionist party of northern ireland which is opposed to a hard bracks it something may has accepted as a possibility on top of that the d u p have been criticised for their policies on same sex marriage and abortion as well as previously inks with violent paramilitary groups in northern ireland not a perfect ally but the attendee u.p.a. m.p.'s have been crucial for theresa may so much so she was ready to pay their

support came with a hefty price tag of one billion pounds to be spent over the next twenty years that's in addition to the previously announced five hundred million and funds to northern ireland and who is footing the bill you may ask as always the taxpayer taxpayer has resent politicians cooking up deals behind closed doors that invariably end with their cash being thrown wherever is politically advantageous rather than where it could be best spent to recently called it a good deal and the do you be are delighted if you think the same applies to scotland and wales think again this is the worst kind of pork barrel politics which trust rather the last vestiges of credibility over this what can prime minister it is outrageous that the prime minister believes she can secure her own political future by throwing money at north and island whilst completely ignoring the rest of the u.k. despite the british government having now plastered together a solution the question is for how long will it stick after all the irony is that a mere seven tory m.p.'s switching sides would potentially be enough for

a majority to slip away once they see a party funded. speaking donning st the d. u.p.a. leader echoed to reason may's claim that the agreement would bring stability to the entire country. the u.k. prime minister is also i'd learned a plan for citizens living in post breaks of britain after unspecified cutoff date they will be able to apply for permanent residency so that families quote will be split up i know there's been some anxiety about what would happen to citizens at the point we leave the european union. today i want to put that anxiety to rest i will despite reassurances this plan faced harsh criticism from opposition leader jeremy corporately will be os to fight prime minister still insists she's the best person to get a good deal for britain. i.

probably believe she is the best person to strike a deal with the very people she spent the last six months threatening to make during the truth is this country needs a new approach to brecht's it got a tory government simply cannot deliver. the german chancellor welcomed the offer furry you said the sins in the u.k. as a good start but she warned there would be many other issues to resolve the european commission president earlier described the plans are as a first step but added it will not be enough meanwhile the dutch belgian and austrian leaders this mystery's as me offers questionable vane. a jury. deliberates verdicts against follow you've been accused of killing high profile russian opposition politician boris nemtsov in twenty fifty or medina cochon of a has to do over

a week ago the jury received instructions from the judge to answer a twenty six questions connected with the murder and a lawyer save the verdict is highly likely to be delivered this tuesday now all five defendants are accused of a murder for hire as part of an organized group according to the russian investigative committee this is suspected killers. were offered at least fifteen million rubles which is somewhere around two hundred fifty thousand dollars to carry out the murder now the killing of bodies took place on the night of february twenty eighth two thousand and fifteen he was the regional governor and deputy pm under the president by the sea yeltsin and. back in two thousand but he became an opposition politician so many in the western media now portray his killing as a political case however he was not the key opposition figure in the country he

called the opposition party part of nasa and he also held seats in the legislature of the central russia region from september two thousand and thirteen up until his death. well ahead of next month's g twenty summit in germany become trees foreign ministry's warning the turkish president not to bring his bodyguards but like busby. president arrow on is planning to appear in germany next month for the annual g. twenty summit and it looks like the red carpet won't be rolled out for the turkish leader apparently the incident with his security detail during his recent washington visit as put e.u. officials on alert saying please don't bring your bodyguards. i have reason to expect that these people who be incriminated by the american criminal justice system will not step on to german sold in the forseeable future

including during the g twenty summit and nother no no on the list for president on rallies major venue so far have declined to host a direct leader the reasons were quite interesting and ranged from renovations to sorry already booked magine the u.s. president coming to germany and failing to find a place to appear not very likely but then again should we be surprised tensions between germany and turkey have been building up for months now starting with germany pulling its military from turkey is airbase and sending it to jordan after ankara denied german officials a visit to the big house on the other hand you've got turkey angry with germany for granting asylum to turkish citizens who allegedly took part in the failed cool of twenty sixteen and of course girl and also stepped in to stop turkish rallies in germany to support or want to push for broader powers in a referendum back in april germany you have no notion of democracy your practices

are no different from the nazi practices of the past my comment that the nazi comparisons in turkey's part must and is valid without our butts and fortunately we see that this comparison is haven't stopped and we are not going to allow it. they would revive gas chambers in concentration camps if they weren't ashamed this is their mentality they are disturbed when we say that this is not semen. well it's no easy task piecing back together relations that have completely fallen apart once. side will have to likely admit its mistakes and at this point it doesn't look like germany or turkey are ready to do that you go francis and thiago r.t. we've got expert opinion on where german turkish relations stand right now. but everyone can see so weeks ago exactly these lifeguards misbehaved badly and this is exactly will generally don't want to see on its own territory ok in

turkey we have some you know mistakes related to democracy and some shortages but they should help us to improve it better than to you know to push turkey towards the east if you look at germany politics what's tricky over the last few years in germany has accepted every. inch of lightness in every the relations of the church. and this has gone too far and now a lot germany tries to set limits europeans are champions of democracy on home arise when we speak about the middle east but then. speak about the more eyes and move number ites in europe they are you know of some kind of double standards and hypocrisy is doing whatever it can still show its power and to be is doing what every can it's. to misbehave and i'll elias like

to like us they say start out on. you know on very far but no no you reach a limit i guess of that's a very good symbol to show everyone you can do a lot but you can't do everything we had a agreement between europe and turkey germany and turkey related to immigrations of me to free weezer and they. promised to the development of some kind of six million dollars for the syrian. moderators but they didn't deliver their promises and then when in turkey president are gone or the government twenty we're speaking about this kind of things. they are you know always saying different kind of things and accusing turkey of doing something but this is not fair. the strongest economy in the world and the strongest military

power i guess that both europe and the us have. to react in a proper way. to chookie if we want to be part of you accept the rules if you don't accept the rules you have to accept did we are a little bit harder that you see the elections are coming up in germany and they try to use you know this as some kind of islamophobia or to go for b. or xenophobia that's a very famous in order to turn your singerman these kind of things and they started again i think it will carry on up to the next election in elections in germany in there and zero four i think autumn then. the relations who will be normal after that. right ahead on r t international the fear in the philippines vigilante death squads roam the streets during the president's brutal war on drugs

. make this manufacture consent to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the middle of the room sick.

here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate just pull on. the only show i go out of my way to punch you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than food. and see people you never heard of love back to the night president of the world bank so take. it seriously send us an e-mail.
