i. can't believe. this is ratings. figures over facts america's c.n.n. news is apparently caught on camera saying that most of the channel's brushy related coverage isn't substantiated but appeals to viewers to come this hour a huge cyber attack hits firms around the globe with russia and ukraine bearing the brunt and. the latest u.s. threatens me with force against the assad government saying it is unacceptable it comes after the white house claims damascus is preparing to chemical weapons in syria.

i welcome good evening it's just turned eight o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international. our top story a producer for america's c.n.n. news channel is apparently being filmed saying the networks russia coverage is more about boosting ratings than offering solid facts investigative journalism group project barrett's house released a hidden camera video. hidden camera video conversation here's a clip of it. the point c.n.n. constantly away. with. this is radio. is free to raise or be right but honestly. it's just like. it's mostly the right no we don't. john. proof. we have

a duty to. present. to the sea you see it instead in our internal bleeding he said good job everybody covering the clinical words. but we're done with the let's get back to. what we have contacted c.n.n. to call mentallo is still waiting for a response and meantime though we can get more information from colorful he's covering the story for us. what more then do we know about this forty. well we have to be careful because as of now this video from project veritas is not yet fully verified but it appears that the person speaking in the video is jon bon a field he actually has a page on c.n.n. as weapons site now according to project veritas report c.n.n. has said and talked about russia over sixteen thousand times since the election

many instances of their reporting on issues related to russia are unverified their reports or rumors are unfair or fide claims however they continue to report on them and name them as breaking news the majority of the time in an attempt to kind of create a narrative in which they say that trump has been in appropriately collaborating with russia now not surprisingly this has led to a bit of a difficulty in their relationship with the white house let's take a listen. you know if you are not going to give you a question you speak out if you are sure you could use your network i just want to ask you sir i'm changing from news though doesn't that under very arch you. now project vera and james o'keefe have become famous for hidden camera videos in which they get people to open up in ways they normally wouldn't do if they knew that they were being video recorded now james o'keefe has gotten in trouble for

this in the past at the moment he's being sued he's facing a one million dollar lawsuit over the fact that posing as someone else he interviewed a contractor who was allegedly working for the democratic party now james o'keefe he says that this lawsuit is simply about intimidation now it's still on verified but if this video is as it appears it seems that the fake news label will stick to c.n.n. for probably quite a long time ok thanks come up it was in there for us in washington another development three c.n.n. journalists who were on they were trying to draw she related story to resign the network says they didn't follow it standard editorial processes president meanwhile has waded in again accusing c.n.n. of publishing fake news but we did talk to the communications director of the project very tass steven gordon. he's sitting in those meetings he's part of the decision making process or privy to the decision making process we're not sure

which what they air and what they don't air his own pieces were dry so they could carry russian pieces so he's right in the middle of that myth of what they are and what they don't care yes certainly qualified to speak to the issue the only way to get to the truth sometimes is with undercover video which has a very rich and long and proud tradition undercover investigations of obtaining the truth when other mechanisms fail people are not going to sit up there and brag on the podium that were corrupt we weren't specifically looking for this angle but we know i mean this is the general area we were going we didn't know exactly what would catch we caught it i'm not expecting a backlash from this particular video because we followed the law we followed what the letter and the intent of the law was how we have tens of a.t.o. we heard that c.n.n. said that they are going to put out any sort of statement however they're sort of tweeting out some stuff and we're tweeting back at i'm donald trump's tweet now and i'm we're right in the mix with them right now on twitter obviously we're not going

to tell you what's coming up or who it is that targets are but we have many targets in the mainstream media that we are actively working on and we'll have more on c.n.n. coming sometime very soon. so i want chat with him meantime let's hit though it's not a line of he's the media and legal analysts tell a cheetah i know you've seen the video today what did you make of it. loved it. loved it this was c.n.n. zapruder film this was the smoking gun now let me tell you what c.n.n. is going to do they're going to say their guy wasn't involved in any go any higher level stuff he was a medical correspondent are. not of turn that thing to see here no big deal it's ok but deep down inside do you know what's going on at c.n.n. i mean can you imagine this on the heels of this of this week when they pulled

out a story regarding this rush again and now pollard gys and expiated their their of their their shoddy journalism i they apologize of apple o.j. after apollodorus i mean this is ridiculous but to be quite fair this is like exposing professional wrestling or magic we know it we know when to hold to. but what this goes to show you and what it goes to show everybody is that this is not a nude organization this is targeted prosecution this is an organization who is out for ratings only ratings only money revenue and as a surrogate for an apparatchik for an eight and excess or review hillary clinton d.n.c. and others while it's fascinating to hear there's no way to know who they knew it

would be the ramifications the because as you say many people just think you know we need that anyway by the saying so you can write things that going up it seems that people like what c.n.n. is doing. well let me tell you this of the ratings may go up but i can also put a bunch of remember i mean this bad track and mass d.n.c. is i call it or m s n b c as you call it their highest rated program is about presidents and prison lock ups and showers and a sold a really read their tawdry stuff so yeah that's great ratings i mean i could show car crashes and video but that's not exactly what they want to be known for understand the legacy which still is a part of c.n.n. but what they are doing is this is target prosecution i'm a prosecutor by by profession we never targeted for example we're going after andrew and we're going to find out somebody somewhere who says you did something

wrong that's not the way to do it this is a shill this is a sham this is an ersatz fu gazey said that it organization and this on the heels of this week's apple load your goes to show you again but also let me remind everybody that the rush story is dad there is no more russian story why is that important the d n c chuck schumer and others are sending out memos eighty six the russian story it's dad rachel maddow on m.s. and b c has devoted her entire career to this that is out so this is a multiplicity the russian story is dead see it as dead and we knew it to be true the whole time that we have to leave it there always good to get you through it so that was a legal media analyst thank you. tonight

a huge cyber attack has hit firms in at least ten different countries from india to the united states who was first reported in ukraine and russia which have been the worst hit countries mico france to santiago joins us live now with more details what more then do we know about this attack. well yes indeed several major companies all across europe have come under attack major firm in the u.k. w p p a major logistics company in denmark major companies in the netherlands we're getting reports from spain and france france the united states and of course the most countries affected have been ukraine and russia in ukraine. he has brazil airport as well as the metro subway systems major ukrainian banks even the ukrainian government computers all have come under attack by another

ransomware virus now as far as russia the building behind me eros never teach you a major oil giant came under attack their servers suffered a massive onslaught but were able to revert to reserve systems keeping most of their oil production and shack on the line now the way this malware ransomware works is it locks the computer down and asked for a three hundred to five hundred dollar ransom to be paid in order for the computer to be accessible again and just to sort of understand the magnitude of this malware going across the world just a little over a month ago. major attack took place of the same type of virus called want to cry hitting more than one hundred countries more than seventy thousand computers worldwide. affect the major hospitals in the u.s. and the u.k.

not having access to their computers. business is one down you know causing major have a all across and it's funny that attack in particular russia happened to be the main target suffering the most attacks and taking in most attempts some very successful major russian telecom company a megaphone taking a hit and having their services disturbed for over twenty four hours now as far as this attack that just happened today spares experts confirmed that this malware has spread all over the world and it's really hard to. predict when and where it might hit next this is all we know so far we will keep you updated andrew thank you so much back to you like a thank you miguel that was me. in moscow thank you. for that russia has called the united states threat to use force against the syrian government unacceptable white

house earlier claim that the assad leadership is preparing a chemical weapons attack president terms 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 slow mixtape 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 on all of these correspondent paula sleek gauges the international reaction to those claims. the kremlin has responded saying that it is familiar with the statement but it is not aware of its basis a criminal spokesperson said that they categorically disagree with the wording and now the attack stressing that damascus cannot be held liable for the last attack because despite all of russia's demands an unbiased international investigation has still not been carried out moscow also says that it considers any threats to the

legitimate leadership of syria unacceptable. we consider such threats to the legitimate government of the syrian arab republic unacceptable but at the same time it's important to point out that we consider unacceptable the use of chemical weapons the potential danger of repeated provocation with chemical weapons in syria still exists while the white house a statement on the threat of a new chemical attack is interesting indeed 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 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 this side and

his allies now there is no investigation no due process just punishment now as far as 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's a. said it will back u.s. action against syria despite seeing no evidence of this alleged attack even being prepared i want to leave you with no doubt we think it's absolutely right if we can to prevent the use of chemical weapons and we will fully support any u.s. action poor leslie reporting the u.s. allegations to come despite moscow's latest call for washington to avoid any

provocations in syria russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov made the request in a phone conversation with his u.s. counterpart in fact the call was initiated by washington and was the first time the diplomats have spoken since the downing of a syrian military jet by the u.s. just over a week ago the to discuss the need to consolidate a cease fire in syria as well as suppressed attempts to use chemical weapons by any party to the conflict as mentioned mr lavrov stressed the u.s. must not carry out hostile actions against government forces we discuss the latest with jamil working he's a professor of history and international relations at the lebanese university in beirut and he believes the u.s. is looking for an excuse to attack the syrian government so i believe the this is mainly. by the united states to have a pretext because i believe that it's planning to. have an eye on the syrian army at the time when this army is achieving major success in the field.

it was able to reach the rock you board of spite of. all obstacles by the united states and against all odds it was able to reach our. city on the freighters and at the same time it's heading towards a date which will be at the end of the united states to have. influence in syria and the north eastern part of the country. meanwhile cattles top diplomat is in washington for talks at the moment as the clock ticks down on an ultimatum set out by its neighbors in the middle east we'll have a look at that story plus of the two in a couple of minutes. the stock market has see cuz companies don't need employee g.'s companies don't need

wage earners the government doesn't need the government on this so by having the social bank money for itself the top one percent has access to the central bank the prince money for them at zero percent interest rates and they have a limited supply of money like all those interest rates are tied.

foreign minister is meeting with the us secretary of state later on cheese day as part of efforts to resolve the diplomatic crisis on the arabian peninsula qatar is currently facing a blockade following accusations from saudi arabia and other and a number of other arab states that it is backing financing terrorism they have given our series of ultimatums it must meet for the embargo to be lifted including that it distances on iran's top diplomats also met with his german counterpart early to discuss the crisis peter all of has more details on the result of that meet. the diplomatic snafu that's taking place in the arabian gulf spreading over to europe in some senses we had heard from gabriele the german foreign minister saying that he felt that some of the demands being made from the saudi led group

that includes saudi arabia the united arab emirates bahrain and egypt been placed on guitar that they were far too harsh now he's been discussing this and other issues with the iranian foreign minister mr gabrielle had said that some of the points that have been put forward by the saudi side were negotiable however some of them went too far now what was included in this list of demands were things like the closure of an air base. of turkish air base that was located in qatar also the shutting down of the al jazeera news network and all of its affiliates mr gabriele saying that in the eyes of his government well this just goes too far in the list of thirty eight points some of them of course. able to negotiate some others would. the. challenge to the national serenity

of the day the list is more or less very provocative this is difficult to answer has been suggested that the whole idea of this blockade backed by saudi arabia was to try and isolate iran in the region but also bring qatar under control bring it to heel well what it seems to have done is that it's well brought. together and it's also you see from what we've just heard from the german foreign minister there it's involved to europe or european nations on the side of guitar against these demands that have been placed. this summer's festival of football is entering the knockout stages in russia and we're covering all the action both arm on and off the pitch of the twenty seventeen confederations cup with neil harvey and stan collymore.

very good evening to you thanks so much to every single one of the joining us here on r.t. for our coverage of the confederations cup alongside me my cohort stan collymore pleasure as always to be working with you let's just soak up just for a moment the beautiful sides of magnificent cars and i'm not overstating this behind us we can see the cars and you can see that the blue onion domes of because the docks two is just behind it the minarets of the show reef mosque and slightly further along i think we can see them on the street i should be now behave impeccably on this trip the great. cities again going back to couple of hours ago we were moving a little bit which is the world cups of it to bring people together culturally and sporting events of course the biggest every four years in two thousand and ten i was at the world cup in south africa the first world cup in continental south

africa and i came from all over the world to ensure that event will be the first predominantly muslim city to host the world cup which is quite incredible considering the world cups i've been going since nineteen in europe why so really looking forward to seeing what all the same funny story no particularly the music in the background lots of chileans lots of portuguese expected tomorrow to come to this fantastic city let's talk a little bit about the football and so that's what you want to know so let's start with the game is going to taking place here you know it's going to portugal against chile portugal know all about winning european champions chile the copa america victims so see it seems that a battle hardened they've got both got match winners it's a tough one to call isn't it it is a regional i was going to offer chile to win the tournament was because the champions of south america that means they were better than the likes of lee you know messi argentina and i. mauls brazil you have to be a very good thing to do that we're in this tournament they've been a little bit flat that played a hell of a lot of football over the last twelve months continually i'm shown that when the

one group guy in the confederations cup so paul won't you know i thought i mean christiane we're now that was the peter pan the full hole he plays going here when you hear right first to go fifty five goals you schooled in the deep hole guy and he's still the fastest player on the pitch outside without today and for many he's already won three out of the match awards in the three guys that was played two goals a game that he will be the difference that he will take portugal to the far north let's catch up with a bit of tape news hopefully now because our correspondent in a patrol car he's close by to the cars on the rainy was attending some of the press conferences if you have we learned anything about who will be involved and who would be good evening to you from the event of said his honoring all behind me well as you guys were saying tuesday is the day when the head coaches and some of the players say their final words to the journalists before the game now first we heard from chile and definitely these guys are going to have

a cleese one advantage because at the press conference their manager won and tony o.p.c. has confirmed that all twenty three chilean footballers will be fit for the game on wednesday portugal though is a completely different story pepe is suspended too many yellow cards for one of portugal's lineup stars and real madrid defender speech cites this at least one injury maybe that's been made clear at the press conference by the portugal head coach for and onto song two but that doesn't mean team portugal are down there are glad to be back here and cazan in disses something that they told the fans about on twitter important thing they did that in russian and that is perhaps a great trick to win the hearts of the local crowd well why not and when at the press. friends i asked adrian silva about it whether that meant team portugal like

playing in cars on most here's what he told me so post all of this. we didn't have much time to see the actual cities most of it we spent at the stadiums and all of them were magnificent in the three cities we visited but hopefully off the wednesday's game i'll be able to say that this one is my favorite. well in any case both teams i can tell you are hungry for the final and then of course they're hungry for the conversations call itself and all of us here. can't wait till that semifinal kickoff which is now about twenty four hours away. they've been coasting and the been rotating the squad a lot mexico salvaged a draw against portugal who do things got better here incredible things germany are always competitive there isn't a nation on the planet earth has got to most i mean falling off finals. the german national team brazil come close and there was more world cups bring terms of consistency. in terms of bringing through younger players that then go on to be

world superstars i watched the likes of mom well noir measure. toni kroos mario good get caps for the first time before the two thousand and ten world cup four years later they want to it will be exactly the same with the likes of team over in a two golds already but it's not why germany never won a confederate because they using this as a chance to blood play it is the main the most important producer and nice to win the biggest prize of them all and that's the one from a it's going to be a portugal and germany for north and it be very very tough to pick a winner because you've got a very youthful german soil against that man christiane i would although this is again how do you mean credible incredible thousand and sixteen just as those we've said before it is the top four rang to defeat the rankings they've made it this far so pay for it should be very close no guarantees and you know red card could turn it anything could happen on the day. just remind them that semifinal kicks off tomorrow night will be across that. you're watching r t on back

in half an hour before that. manufacture consent to the public will. when the really close is protect themselves. with the famous. certainly the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. really.
