locals who say they're fed up with the inaction of europe's authorities. this is one of the many. brings rescue. to ports like this one here in sicily and for many of those migrants this will be the first time. that the italian authorities say there's so many migrants coming here to italy that they might have to close the ports ships like this. to me says it's illegal but the sheer volume of my claims to be landed and it's now having to be cheeky here on the sicily and people on this island 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 it's really cannot
7:04 am
support arriving migrants. they do nothing because their policies don't work they just talk. they have to have italy where baron the financial burden. i want other states from spain and others to do their part in how can 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. the european union has provided financial aid to it says it's not enough and now e.u. of said the big bad cools to open up the ports along the mediterranean coast such as say. in spain but that is likely to be met with great resistance in both countries and some people suggest that you. saying is little more than. some countries need to do more to do their share in

distributing the refugees poland hungary and the true. republik 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 poor but very little action from the powers that be in europe imo meanwhile italy is continuing to sink under the strain of the migrant crisis charlotte. r.t. sicily. is tired of bearing the brunt of migrants french place has been using drones and dogs to hunt down those trying to slip across the border from italy into france in super university history professor paolo bennett and he says it's time for its leaves european partners to do more to deal with the crisis. girl of all

7:07 am
renewing their accusations towards the syrian government it also turns out they. did not even visit the site of the alleged attack i washington correspondent caleb maupin has more. we've been waiting for this for months in live 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 that 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
7:08 am
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 is that it was of the 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 the not convinced that sun and gas which was apparently found was dropped by a bomb from 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 absent the finger points at the but sad regime and we've got a european council coming up where we will drive on with the u.k.
7:09 am
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 including 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 caleb r.t. washington d.c. we also discussed the findings of the report with russia's representative to the un's nuclear watchdog. there are pulling expressions in the suit like the team was unable to fulfill their own small believes the daunting force of all we were unable

to will determine where fans of. the real tool are serious the. teachin all the. folks i. suppose to call speak those. who treated we can't vote in job creates. these missions is the mission so. just the serious and put it in sections or two mile. there is a mission and that the in this report did. it was impossible to implement the chain not drastically point the team. for samples from the schools and this is very good but. which remains
7:11 am
a bit of something's. going to work somebody a boarding school has been brought by somebody and there is absolutely no evidence cole it was a deal with. new german legislation branded 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 has warned that social media firms may overregulate on the anti establishment alternative for germany party describe it as a dark day for journalism a european digital rights groups even issued an open letter before the legislation was passed claiming the bill reaches the in-laws. partridge has more on the consequences of burdens. 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 speech terrorist propaganda and defamatory fake news freedom of speech and criminal law begins the
7:12 am
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 headlines and zero zero in the guardian very effective this whole notion of election voting fraud this is take notes. does to day fake sites vaunts trolls can falsify viewpoints russian government or the creator to spread freak. across the media. as for hate speech different countries have different laws what germany might consider hate another nation might consider opinion the german bill offers this guideline social platforms have to ban what's obviously illegal but obvious for whom germany's bill is part of
7:13 am
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 but boundaries still do and when some governments seek to impose their own lore on the internet they're 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 with billions of years as 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 legislation is the wrong way to fight online hate speech with regulation threatening to remove content that is not actually illegal we discuss the issue with my broken meenie political activist group shout out to u.k.
7:14 am
he believes that all risky leading to censorship. everywhere you look on the internet there is how each beat beatrice or defamation slander 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 all vice versa you know how do you define what actually is a reality and every single newspaper or news network on 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 are going to get rid of that and you need to watch this kind of news and look at it through this kind of lens and that becomes quite dangerous is 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
7:15 am
a she just because you don't being 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. hundreds of people have come out in the british capital for the not one day more anti-government launch they're protesting against austerity spending cuts and private supported by the ruling conservatives well to get more details on this will cost lives. that the demonstration. high last year i know the sound is pretty bad it's very loud where you are so can you tell us what's going on way well. well we're gathered here outside the b.b.c. headquarters in central london where thousands of people have come out onto the streets to protest the government this test was organized by the people's assembly
7:16 am
against steroids and it's going to. a day of action it's clearly going to be quite a loud change here with thousands already popping this particular square we are expecting people to later probably walking to parliament square and continue protesting there throughout the day and this is so clearly just an anti-government protest it's yet another in a series that we've seen here in london over the last couple of weeks we have to keep in mind that of course recent made hasn't had the best couple of months here in the u.k. with this snap election that not many people were very happy with that she came out of an embarrassment the austerity measures that the tory government has been putting in place the bricks that uncertainty the ground swell tower tragedy that's been bringing people out onto the streets and of course last but not least this deal with the g.d.p. that lots of people are not to decided about so all of these reasons are bringing people out onto the street here today we do know that there's going to be
7:17 am
a minute of silence for ground felt our victims later on today there's going to be a minute of applause for emergency services there is going to be lots of marching and speeches and all of these people really here with one message they want the tory government out yeah certainly a lot of happy people we can see there behind you on this to see a choking our reporting there from the north one day more protests in central london friends last. right they'll be more stories right off the short break so don't go away. thanks.
7:18 am
in case you're new to the game this is how. the economy is built around. washington washington media. voters elected businessmen 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 another case of police brutality has been making the headlines in the u.s. that softer video images of an officer in atlanta beating
7:19 am
a suspect who claimed was about to smoke a crack pipe however nothing was ever found on the victim just to warn you now you may find the following footage rather distressing. the. law was. wrong. 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 the police report into the instant 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 insult to divert them the officers alleging that they saw or are our client are but
7:20 am
a small crack however strongly altercation and even abdu'l there was never any narcotics or no crack cocaine fall and i think it's important to note that this officer has a history and reputation on beating on people in the also as our report he said that they tried to use a taser and so when you use a taser to be in it was deemed not effective what makes you think that your hands are sufficient that makes no sense and so zlata inconsistency i don't accuracies with the police officer's testimony in what was in the report and so the video speaks for itself incidents of police brutality are increasingly being caught on camera. no you can see right here.
7:21 am
this is a culture that happens in policing and it must be addressed a lot of times in law enforcement we have these young versus us mentality will ball better than most people like you know when we as a potential all in so long for smith officers are not law they don't get to be become the judge the jury an executed like 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. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley has compared iran to a scorpion in remarks about the country's nuclear disarmament. 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 asks how do i know you won't sting me and the scorpion replies because it would kill both of us we'd both drown
7:22 am
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
7:23 am
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 this is not the first time top american officials have used this type of rhetoric when describing other nations the former director of u.s. national intelligence james clapper has been fairly outspoken by russians and that's supposed to genetics the historical practices of the russians. typically almost genetically driven to coopt. penetrate. to gain favor whatever is there any reason to believe that russia is not continuing to attempt to or to infiltrate u.s. political organizations or individuals or are true or do we think it's in their
7:24 am
d.n.a. . those critical of u.s. policies that targeted with such rhetoric not only abroad but inside the u.s. as well one of america's most prominent philosophers name chomsky explain to an ati america how the anti americanism label is used by politicians suddenly critics of american empire or american capitalism got tarred with this at the american ism and american is a very interesting concept it's a concept that only exists and to filter and states in the soviet union old soviet union you could be condemned for being the soviet the brazilian military dictatorship you could be brazilian but aside from the united states i don't know of any other. none to overturn authoritarian country with the concept even exist it's a very striking country concept if you're critical of policy you're anti american
7:25 am
actually this is an interesting biblical origin. who is the ultimate ultimate evil of the bible he called the prophet. elijah to him and asked him why he is hater of israel meaning condemning the acts of the evil that basic concept authority if you challenge authority you're opposed to the society culture community and so on. and the full interview name chomsky touches on a multitude of topics the program well as late on saturday i'll to america and after that will be available com. germany and cheney will face off in the final of the football confederations cup in
7:26 am

thank you thank you thank you and. we start. with the health care debate which i don't believe exists i do not believe there is a health care debate sure there are red faced politicians screaming about one make believe side of the other but that doesn't mean there's a legitimate debate it's kind of like alex jones radio show like i get that it exists somewhere and then a certain number of people who don't watch properly listen to it like. i know it's out there but i don't really acknowledge it's a thing that matters. not even alex jones believes what he says matters no seriously seriously in court recently his lawyer said on his behalf he's playing a character he has a performance artist. yes he's impersonating an internet troll who.
