didn't rome to protest against refugee shelters in that country and. around two thousand people hit the streets in support of refugees. italy has been under huge pressure and is now asking for more decisive action from the usual story to tackle this crisis.

correspondent. to the italian island of sicily which has been one of the main points are of a rival for african migrants who told the locals who say they are fed up with the inaction of europe's authorities this is one of the many. brings rescue training seat to ports like this one here in sicily and for many of those might be the first time on u.s. soil but the italian authorities say there's so many coming here. that they might have to close the roads. like this. was. a truly size eight. but she. landed. on the city and people. they

silent say they feel abandoned by you. it is not just the responsibility of italy is the responsibility of europe there is far too much immigration italy cannot support all the arriving migrants. they do nothing because their policies don't work they just talk. they have to have italy where bearing the financial burden you know i want other states france spain and others to do their part in helping the migrants because as prime minister gentleman has said everyone turns away and pretends not to see to do nothing is wrong europe needs to help all that while the european union has provided financial aid to italy it says it's not enough and now e.u. may kiss of said the big bad cools by italy to open up the ports along the mediterranean coast such as in most say in france and in barcelona in spain but that is likely to be met with great resistance in both those countries and some

people suggest that what you repeat commission is saying is little more than hot. some countries need to do more to do their share in distributing the refugees poland hungary and the czech republic have not accepted a single refugee from italy. unfortunately we have no progress on the question of distribution of migrants within the european union and we stand in solidarity with the italian government and the italian people and we will make available all possible assistance and support it seems there's a lot of us who are very little action from the powers that be in europe i know meanwhile italy is continuing to sink under the strain of the michael crisis charlotte. r.t. sicily and while italy says it's tired of bearing the brunt of migrants french police have been using drones and dogs to her. those trying to slip over the border

from italy to france and history professor at an suv or a university says it's time for italy's european partners to do more to deal with the crisis. situation has been left alone. now is not is not able to deal with these and more these create and welcome among the local population and the local population who is we'll be with the government and we do you pm you. you know we asked the corporate leaders when they you should have done the more. i know glamorizing in system acceptance or. if you'll go and all of the african calls so we have to find the solution which might be radical solution to see it all the ports closed paulson people.

but un's chemical weapons watchdog has published a report into a deadly chemical incident in syria's province well that doesn't attribute any blame that's not stopped western officials from renewing the accusations against the syrian assad government it also turns out the o.p.c. w. didn't even visit the site of the alleged attack and washington reports we've been waiting for this for months invalid province back in april the chemical attack triggered all kinds of accusations and allegations but not many answers but now we have the seventy eight page report from the u.n. chemical weapons watchdog so did we get those answers first of all the investigators never actually visited the site of the chemical weapons attack in question the elite province where the attack took place is not in an area under the control of the government so it wasn't safe to go there and that raises another question u.n. officials said the report was carried out in. full compliance with the guidelines

but the guidelines clearly state they must visit the site where it happened so their conclusions were based on interviews they did with people claiming to be victims as well as samples they received from n.g.o.s like the white helmets a group with a dubious reputation now the report doesn't even give a hint as to how the chemical agent was dispersed this lack of information prompted a strong response from russia's foreign minister at the news that supposedly should he be organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has been absent unintelligibly it refused to go to the scene of the incident and did not provide any information yesterday the issued a report it says they're not convinced that sarin gas which was apparently found was dropped by a bomb from the air they don't know where the sun came from and yet throughout these months tensions have been inflamed now the report was never intended to establish who carried out the attack that's being left to another group of investigators but this hasn't stopped western leaders from reeling in their old

mantra i've got. the finger points at the sad regime and we've got a european council coming up where we will drive on with the u.k. campaign to impose sanctions on those responsible the us has already brought out sanctions on three hundred people as a result of this people who drop chemical weapons all innocent people should be held to account we know that assad has used chemical weapons on his own people and he's done that repeatedly including it states in the world that includes women and children destruction and we have all seen that we've all seen the video and there is no debate about that so once again we've got more questions and no definitive answer but for some people that just doesn't matter. r.t. washington d.c. we discussed the findings of the report with russia's representative to the un's nuclear watchdog. there are

expressions in the suit like the team was on the able to all the team they will. all of these. daunting force of all we were unable to will determine where. the feel to. leave. the. side the. fuel bills were. treated we can't books interprets. these missions is the mission so. just this serious and good if it was texans to smile. there is a mission and that is these are people that. it was impossible to implement the

chain not past the point the key. for samples from the schools and the users they really didn't. reach remains a bit of samples but you can see why somebody more. when somebody. just absolutely no evidence coal it will deal with. new german legislation branding both fake news and online terrorist propaganda as criminal activity has been hit with a storm of criticism not least in the country's parliament the green party for example says social media firms may overregulate violating people's freedom of expression to potentially avoid any threat of paying billions of euros in fines partridge reports germany has approved a bill to find social media networks up to fifty million euros if they fail to remove what's described as obviously illegal content hate speach. terrorist

propaganda and defamatory fake news freedom of speech and criminal law begins the initiative ends the internet law of the jungle fine flagging up terrorist propaganda is fairly obvious but determining what's hate speech and the truth behind media outlets accused of fake news is anything but ever wonder what fake news is i am not going to give you a question you are fake do is headlines and zero zero in the guardian very effective this whole notion of election or voting fraud this is take notes. does someone today fake sites blunt trolls can falsely find viewpoints the russian government also created and spread fake news and conspiracies across the social media landscape as for hate speech different countries have different laws what germany might consider hate another nation might consider opinion the german bill office this guideline social platforms have to ban what's obviously illegal but

obvious to him germany's bill is part of a wider trend an austrian court ordered facebook to remove hate speech posts against one of the country's politicians not only in austria but worldwide and canada's top court ruled google can remove entire websites from its global search engines following one complex case so it seems in this online age borders don't matter the boundaries still do and when some government seek to impose their own will or on the internet there disregarding other borders with their own version of what's obviously illegal the new rules mean companies will have twenty four hours to remove the content facebook is already hiring more people to check flag posts but with billions of users there are concerns that web giants in general may be overwhelmed by the complaints we reached out to facebook for comment the company told us the legislation is the wrong way to fight online hate speech with regulation threatening to remove content that is not actually illegal and we

discuss the issue with mateo but the meaning of the political activist group shout out u.k. he believes the risks leading to censorship everywhere you look on the internet there is how you treat hate speech for defamation of those kind of things but there is a problem when you start to try and tell private enterprise corporations to try and do it and then there's also this issue that you've got to find what it is you know for someone hate speech may be actually true for vice versa you know how do you define what actually is a reality in every single. newspaper a news network of the sun has a slant of some kind or another part of the problem where you've got a government which is essentially trying to do that for the people who are saying well this is this we don't regard as new so we're going to get rid of that for you we're going to get rid of that and you need to watch this kind of news and i look at it only fru fru this kind of lens now becomes quite dangerous to essentially censorship you can call it regulation you can call it whatever you want but the reality is essentially a ship because you are censoring

a certain point of view or certain set of knew when i was a she just because you don't deem them as as fair or or factually correct the establishment is worried about the internet you know the internet is this one place where everybody everybody in the world can essentially have a voice they see that as as the centralized they see it as almost anarchic and for that i think it scares them. another case of police brutality making headlines in america it's after video emerged over the officer in atlanta beating a suspect he claimed was about to smoke a crack pipe however no drug all paraphernalia was found on the victim i should warn you you may find the following footage distressing. the incident happened just over a week ago video shows the officer punching the back of the man's head while he's being held down with

a police report into the incident claims the suspect had resisted arrest for possessing a crack pipe atlanta's police chief says the situation was avoidable the officer has been placed on administrative leave for twenty days but activists say that's disrespectful to the victim. twenty days a suspension certainly kicks justice in the eye and definitely is a insult to the victim the officers alleging that they saw our our client but to smoke crack however during the altercation and even after there was never any narcotics or no crack cocaine found and i think it's important to note that this officer has a history and reputation on beating on people and he also resolved report he said that they tried to use a taser and so when you use a taser to be in it was dean non-effective what makes you think that your hands are sufficient that makes no sense and so there's a lot in consistencies i don't accuracies with the police officer's testimony and

what was in the report and so the video speaks for itself incidents of police brutality are increasingly being caught on camera. i. think right. you know you can see right here. this is a culture that happens in policing and it must be addressed a lot of times in law enforcement we have this them versus us mentality or we're above or better than most people like you know when it as it pertains to law and so long for some it officers are not the law they don't get to be so become the judge the jury in executer right that's not their job their job is to enforce the law the chief of police is their responsibility to come out and say hey we got it wrong but we're willing to correct the issue with leadership in china absolutely furious that trump is making

a billion dollar deal with taiwan we'll give you those details and. situation . the private company where sixty or seventy billion dollars. left including the c.e.o. who are going to parachute in. the c.f.o. . i'm sure will be another hundred million dollars he's already a billion. dollars for her regardless of where the company says she's or not there's a lot of people speculating that the underlying core business model. and this is

going to go the way of this. billion dollars. joining us today the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley has come to a school about the country's nuclear. the topic of iranian regime's compliance with its international obligations reminds me of the fable of the scorpion and the frog. the scorpion asked the frog for a ride across the river the frog quite rationally asked how do i know you won't sting me and the scorpion replies because it would kill both of us we'd both drown

. so the frog is convinced he lets the scorpion get on its back and starts across the river but sure enough midway through the scorpion stings him with his last breath the frog asks why and the scorpion replies because it's in my nature. the secretary general's report is filled with devastating evidence of the nature of the iranian regime when we're talking about international agreements and enforcement and when we're talking about the potential of prosecuting through military means or the like these little metaphorical parable references lose their quaintness this is serious business here so when it comes to international diplomacy but it comes with the possibility of sanctions when it comes to the possibility theoretically of war

i would prefer lay off the metaphor in the parable and the simile and let's be very very clear and also never overreact always look for a peaceful peaceful interpretation and a peaceful outcome i hope the first time top american officials have used this type of rhetoric when describing other nations of the cia's former director james clapper as well rather outspoken about russians in the past and there are supposed genetics. the historical practices of the russians. typically almost genetically driven to co-opt. penetrate. to gain favor whatever is there any reason to believe that russia is not continuing to attempt to or to infiltrate us political organizations individuals all i'm quite sure they are. doing i think it's in their d.n.a. . but those critical of us policies that targeted with such rhetoric not only are

broad but inside america as well in fact one of the country's most prominent intellectuals i know i'm chomsky explain how the quote americanism label is used by politicians at this all in the latest episode of on contact with chris hedges on all of the america the full interview available that are on our website. because you tube is a quick preview suddenly critics of american am american capitalism got tarred with this and he american is you know any american is a very interesting concept it's a concept that only exists to filter in states in the soviet union the old soviet union you could be condemned for being in the soviet the brazilian military dictatorship you could be. put aside from the united states i don't know of any other. told her in order to earn country with the concept even exist it's

a very striking country concept if you're critical of policy you're an idiot american actually this is an interesting biblical or. who is the. ultimate also medieval of the bible he called the prophet as a larger. word he is hater of israel meaning condemning the evil that basic concept authority if you challenge authority you're opposed to the society culture community and so on. is all to international a new one point four billion dollar arms deal sealed by president trump with taiwan spot fury in china which argues that the moves contradict earlier pledges by the us administration don't want you to be taiwan is an inseparable part of china we

firmly oppose the export of alms to taiwan we stress that nobody can we cannot determination to uphold the territorial integrity and sovereignty we oppose any external interference in our domestic affairs we urge the u.s. to abide by its commitment to the one china principle and to stop sales to taiwan and all military contacts in order to avoid further damage to our relations and enable corp in other fields the new deal includes multiple types of missiles torpedoes and various forms of technical support as well it's much criticism not least because the u.s. doesn't even recognize taiwan as a sovereign state and although the current administration is no different from its predecessor and sending arms to taiwan experts say trumps honeymoon period with china might soon be out of the business of your approach every u.s. president is going to do that and china obviously will protest but it's business as it were does not mean that is

a fundamentally different problem policy i mean it's not a major shift of american as one china policy the u.s. is not an interesting thing was to keep. the power so there's nothing about that but what will be interesting are the moments will be i mean if you look back over a lot from said last year history is that they probably will challenge one china policy and they want to nuke we negotiate everything but the me of her few months later they come back to stick your person in the u.s. president is going to do with one china policy so what he's doing now i don't think there is a fundamentally shift from the. previous answer persecution over taiwan if you look at the. feel i think hours ago and the same is true last patients on china's help over sauce over the last korea issue so alternately that i think the wider question will be does this means the honeymoon between. the chinese president xi jinping.

the football confederation's cup bringing together some of the world's top teams has now reached the knockout stages here in our international recovering all the action both on and off the pitch neil harvey and stan collymore joining us from st petersburg one of the four cities of the tournament meanwhile football legend diego maradona has arrived in russia and on friday he shared his thoughts with journalists. now i meant for jarrod food both but if you look at russian nation will team i think anyone would want to be the manager. i think our will to defend our lands makes us strong and i don't think that the us can dominate the world anymore especially not with countries like russia china and north korea the us cannot play sheriff we have our own guns to answer there's nobody wants

a war but when you look at cartoon characters like donald trump you have to wonder whether he might get something into his hat and turn us into enemies to join us on a saturday evening moscow time with the latest from the confederations cup you can also head to our website www dot com for details and updates. coming up next door knocking international from the bad boys of bricks it to shady oil deals with dictators going underground is moments away but if you are joining us from the u.k. ireland sputnik will be here. you know big development is all about numbers really pleased to report this quarter we are one hundred six point two. but what do we know about the other figures. that are seen.

over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart associate. with all due respect. i have to say i don't think that's right. it is not just a free market works. people went from pretty simple financial lives pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly devalued society from the protests of the government try to do both nationally make. it mike. making things worse. by saying this is not how capitalism works. goes hopelessly designer rome.

i'm action or tense here we're going on the ground of the day the people's assembly protests u.k. roula tourism a olding the north one day more demonstration outside the headquarters of the state mandated b.b.c. coming up in the show notes one day more we speak to the people's assembly about how a revolution in the streets could reverse mainstream media spin and end just to raise amazing rain and we all scream democratic unionist party shadow treasurer.
