it's a drug and who runs the blood business. claiming to show a chemical attack in syria. a smear campaign against president. promoting violence against journalists saw the president. video showing him taking. down seventeen. germany.

but using us this. the russian foreign ministry has condemned what it calls a smear campaign against the syrian government ministries spoke. to videos circulating online claiming to show the chemical weapons attack ordered by president assad. the social media smear campaign under the banner assad used chemical weapons has now started just as we predicted you'll see more of this fake videos over the following days the complain this planned to be on a grand scale of videos purporting to show victims of a gas attack by the syrian military flooded social media on saturday that was after the white house accused the syrian government of were preparing to use chemical weapons syrian journalists thought it was him says the accusation makes little sense to survey the amount of the sarong issued a statement denying any use of chemical weapons saying that this actually is a well known tactic used by dong terrorist groups according to the statement of the syrian army when these groups feel that they are on the fallback they try to stage

chemical attacks to stop them from advancing we're going to discuss the circumstances surrounding these attacks and it doesn't make a lot of sense for the government when it's winning mentality in achieving actually substantial most regaining more than one from that it would do something that would enable the rebels to benefit from international support which would actually forestall me to bring its operations into a complete halt when washington was asked to back up its allegations that the mask was preparing a chemical attack it failed to provide any evidence as i know bush explains though the u.s. doesn't seem to need proof when it comes to accusing. russia alice said there's one hundred bad habits and that's how it is and he only does this when he's winning he ruins everything but doing something really stupid for no reason at all. take me now they crushing islamic states liberating vul swathes of syria

and out of the blue comes this. the united states has identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the saddam regime that said knows the pro-ball consequences of a chemical attack it's the only thing really right now who could ruin him by giving his enemies pretext to attack him why would he do it because he's evil the murderous syrian dictator bashar assad has been a brutal dictator bashar assad's a murderous regime in syria assad is the worst kind of brutal war criminal a classic super villain both stupid and evil beyond any logic the kind of villain but man would go off and america is batman. if mr assad conducts another mass murder attack using chemical weapons he and his military will pay a heavy price britain is already on board if it does something really dumb for no

reason again the u.k. will join the us in punishing him 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 and if you've been following events in syria recently you know they'll hitting the united states has attacked and said point in time and what they say is self defense. problem is justifying the true long conflict isn't easy western voters don't want another gung ho ho mean campaign they learned their lesson all for the first few times the international community sick of reckless interventions the only thing left is to wait for assets to give them a cools and since he's a comic book supervillain that's just part of the script. johnno burke who has written extensively on the war in syria says the western media campaign against

assad is verging on farcical the mainstream media the learn much media that are influencing the western decision making process and a citizen's opinion about this you take the case for instance of the totally blank picture that he painted all of our last now nobody can be as evil as he's been made in the western world it is very important when we are aware that knowledge goodenough ceases it is all put in the background these days in international politics. while the us president donald trump has taken another swipe at the media posting a mock video of a wrestling match between him and c.n.n. it with we were on talk of trump has repeatedly accused c.n.n.

of broadcasting fake news about him in one tweet he said he was thinking of changing the child's name to forward news c.n.n. . the fake media tried to stop us from going to the white house but i'm president and they're not far are we were the fact is the press has destroyed themselves because they went too far. or said responded to it all trumps wrestling video kissing him of encouraging violence against reporters the statement went on to say the president should be focusing his attention on running the country rather than indulging in juvenile behavior political analyst charles alltel told us the network is not entirely blameless in its dispute with trump. in the case of c.n.n. we are talking as regards trump and indeed as against the conservative elements of the united states of america of

a nonstop this information campaign and when it comes to trump spewing fraudulent nonsense about you know what happened in the election and after the election they've severely lost their way which is evidenced i think in the long term trend in their viewership but let's remember this is the network admittedly they later fired kathy griffin for holding up a mock severed head of our president and c.n.n. the same network is complaining about a cartoon i mean give me a break i would say that c.n.n. has a lot better things to do than they than they did for example a couple years ago wasting all the time on the missing malaysian flight and then in the last number of months here going on and on and on about this suppose a russian collusion hacking story which i i hope at this point has been dealt with i mean see it's kind of rich for c.n.n. to call the pot calling the kettle black here c.n.n.

has been on the defensive throughout the week several undercover videos were posted online exposing attitudes at the channel towards russia related stories. the morning c.n.n. constantly in. russia the first with. this ratings this rating raiser for the right but honestly. it's just like. it's mostly right now we don't have. proof but what do you think's going to happen this week with the rest of. the things that the really. you just saw were a c.n.n. producer and one of the political commentator is the last one van jones who responded to the undercover video he said his words had been taken out of context and that he did not think there was nothing to claims trump colluded with russia. both videos were released by investigative journalism group project veritas is

already facing a multi-million dollar undercover videos thing against democratic organizations and not to miss the last americans what they think about their media's coverage of russia related stories i heard of hearing about trump in russia yes actually yes that's all i hear about. it's just getting a little tiring we're all exhausted but however however it has to be it has to be the truth is to come out and the truth is that there was interference in the american electorate system but by the sentiment you feel like this is what the american people want to see on t.v. is they want to hear about trump allegedly working with russia. not me not a my friend i think they would but that's something you know if there is something secret about something people want to know even more so if you just bring it out in the open if there is something that's not going to just go away and you feel like the media should be reporting on this more or less less i'd like to hear where

these sources are coming from or who's saying it spars i know it could be my next door neighbor they don't have proof they need to drop it. the people behind the undercover video what the whole russia thing actually. we put the entire video out there i mean people can judge for themselves the country at birth things in the conversation but that's certainly my interpretation and i think that's the way the mainstream media is reading it the way the drudge report and the headline strikes again in the president of the united states just two of her videos on earth will instagram she not so obvious it may well be not just c.n.n. i want to make that clear if you are the major media in america the end you are telling why you are defending your story if you're keeping them in public for not going through you're on our list. and i mean china has sent military vessels on planes to warn off an american warship beijing claims the vessel

violated its territorial waters in the south china sea under the pretext of navigation freedom the u.s. side once again since a military vessel into china's territorial wood says this constitutes a serious political and military provocation the chinese side is dissatisfied with and opposed to the relevant behavior of the u.s. side of the u.s. guided missile destroyer came within twelve nautical miles off try to niland that spot of a disputed group which china considers to be its own territory this comes at a time of heightened tensions between the two countries i was point four billion dollars to taiwan the move infuriated china and raised doubts over president trump's efforts to improve relations with beijing jim dean it's a are veterans today told us the dispute is in the south china sea is unlikely to die down. it's part of a sparring campaign that i think is going to go on for quite a while this this dispute over who has sovereignty over the south china sea

is going to be with us for years it really doesn't involve the united states because it's on the other side of the world but the u.s. likes to show the flag but china has major interest here because it's got a billion people a huge energy. appetite which it's spending a lot of its foreign earnings importing so a long range if there is energy found in this area it wants to lay claim to it and of course the u.s. is basically saying we will we will challenge that after the break we'll bring you a special coverage from the confederations cup final in st peter's but. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around

quite. perforations washington washington post media the media. voters elected to run this country business because. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done. one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with cyber crime is. who did it where did it come from and as we've seen with many of these attacks i mean you've mentioned one across the recent run somewhere it's still unclear where that originated from so our clear message to government is to work together around the world to minimize this risk to grow those relationships and make sure that diplomacy is the key to everything.

germany's won the fee for confederations cup for the first time defeating chile one mill in st petersburg neil harvey and stan collymore they're bringing all the special coverage. all the beautiful white nights they create this kind of secularly fantastic evening for germany the world champions of knocking around the twenty seventeen confederations cup winners with a well know victory over chile alongside me stan collymore you called this you said germany going to win it maybe not in the fashion you predicted no i think that's a huge congratulations us to go to the truly national team as well was whom nothing

tonight i put who live there but the bodies on the line my started treating me well huge congratulations to them and i'm sure that they wouldn't want to lose the game in the middle of the aidid when you send so many players forward so often there's always the possibility of that and you can get hurt and that's exactly how i said it was in the mano that we expect germany to win in that they were expected to boss the game chile would defend him the other way around chile don't win a two possession throughout germany snatch the chance to talk us through this is shocking moment for the defender the central defender for chile he was the man you just see the ideas on the edge of his own books and you just don't want him in possession the board you have to keep the ball moving in particular when you've got you know you've lee whom reply is chasing around you to look to win the ball that's exactly what germany did i could feel the pain of those magnificent chile found some of whom we've met i know some of them were in the fans and here in st petersburg a very old cape palm trees was there must have been some orphans disappointed that

. hi there neal is stand i do have. other issues they could better you just give me the. raging success as we know the have to meet anybody who would submit your racism or hooliganism or have a favorite rule the other things people were talking about with the tour events but it'll be pretty chilly here and it's all got off pretty well and these guys are ninety two people which is the confederations cup you read over the next one comes to russia what they are looking for it's a job as a good thing to do i guess. but if we were all six chile is we who thought with the fans and the team as they were leaving the hotel and i do this often in los.

laserjet tonight. yes we got the i got to eat out he got me that he got. that he got that they've got. that but they say good boy. you got you that i'm actually getting here is going to be noisy is. loaded anything close no hello to even though they're rich a bit chilly in germany and i wanted to pick up the good adorations cut champions for the fans time they don't mind hearing to be suspect they don't mind here in russia i just had a fantastic bod saying as you can hear. this. bank you carry two so we heard from your man that isn't by the way by legend the two time olympic gold medalist on dumbasses no for the faithful well coached russian keypads and nineteen she spoke to want to you know now i am about to post impressions

compunctions one of the things going into the tournament there were a lot of scary stories would russia be able to host a tournament of this size the press a lot of the western press are saying russia has welcomed the world they've done well people are writing great stories about it how happy how satisfied are you with the reaction from the press not just the fans here well of course. the leg good traction from the press because it's important. to wards of what who we are and what we are doing here and when day a speaker in a good day about us for us had to be good to have meant and of course seven one thousand three hundred. lives minute cervical minutes to the ever seeing and everyone in the country and really it really look forward to provide the best. time to and ships two thousand nine hundred and just a word about the legacy what what russia leaves behind here when it comes to confederations on the world cup how important are looking at a beautiful stadium here lots of new buildings infrastructure the importance of the

legacy the importance of what russia lease behind after these events well of course . they will temper chips to give as the huge boost for development says we will develop football in our country here more than it was before because now we have a parts you need to have such a good beautiful stadium as you mentioned before of course you will grow up our football players throw from young so we create their new football school so they didn't have that that we didn't have before because if you've never had their world championships so of course for development of football it's a huge. huge cheer task if i would see and now all the infrastructure will help us in that and we've tried to give you guys a sense of. the culture a flavor of what it's like to be in russia to meet russian people to enjoy the culture the cuisine and i want to take you back stan because this journey for us started two months ago when we sort of went on

a reconnaissance mission around the four hundred cities we met some fascinating people people on the street members of the public celebrities when the first things we have a drum of this you learn a song be ready we should finish as we started i think you are leaving. singalong. majar oh i should thank you see you again next year for the faithful will call. neil and start in fine voice that oh in other news in the u.k. this week of course saw the minority conservative government finally saw a deal with more than on his democratic unionist party to shore up its power they

remained ok with a price promise the reason why i agreed to provide an extra billion pounds for the province over the next two years we have reached an agreement with the conservative party on support for government in parliament this agreement will operate to deliver a stable government in the united kingdom's national interest at this vital time. agreement sees the problem as the back track on some key election pledges reforms the pensions and benefits among some of these and as this is going to has been taking a closer look. i know you said there was a no nonsense oh no no. 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 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 they tend to 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 in funds to northern ireland and who is footing the bill you may ask as always the taxpayer taxpayers resent politicians cooking up deals behind closed doors that invariably end with their cash being thrown wherever it's politically advantageous rather than where it could be best spent to recently called it a good deal and they do you p.r. delighted if you think the same applies to scotland and wales think again this is the worst kind of pork barrel politics which is shredded in the last vestiges of credibility of this weekend prime minister it is outrageous that the prime minister believes she can secure her own political future by throwing money at northern

ireland was 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 and if they see a party funded over sicily it is their recording playing the deal is not in the national interests rather in may's own interest and he voiced concern about where the money was actually coming from on why i know all the parts of the u.k. are getting extra funds we spoke to radio host and a part of politics professor for their views. manage to get they said good or be little coalition together but the do you pretty hollow tend see she's still a minority government i think she's going to have real problems lastic i certainly think they'll be in an election by october i think she'll find it very very difficult all this government together bush doesn't get she's got to be pleased to see she's also got a fairly. divided party on the conservative party to still be massively divided

over the major issue at the moment which is breaks it out in the evening so a my make her a little bit miss more secure for a few days but this is no one so i think it bites that obviously makes position more secure because with the d. you play they have a working majority of thirteen of course it only applies to confidence and supply matters government isn't going to get much of a legislative program through but that was evident in the thing in nature of the queen's speech in a sense it's save the conservatives what could have been a great deal of trouble with some of their own supporters who were very unhappy about these changes and it's going to make it more difficult for the conservatives to balance the books which they're having problems with anyway in terms of trying to reduce the budget deficit to a manageable level up next the reports of the filipino president's war on drugs son for all u.k. or irish he was used thing looks at the crisis in the gulf in the minority conservative governments they see.

the feeling of. every. experience. and you get it on the old old. according to josh. come along for the. your launching an r t america special report when they love the stuff you insult me as much fun basically everything that you think you know about civil society has broken down. there's always going to be somebody else one step ahead of the game. we should not be the size of normalising minds we don't need people that think like this on our planet.

this is an incredibly tense situation. exactitude night day comedy new soldat not defect by the corporate media would you go after the corporations that just lawyer live profit over people at every turn the attack it's not for me it's like medicine it's like a cancer joke from all the stress that the news puts you under redacted tonight is a show where you can go to cry from laughing about the stuff that's going on in the world as opposed to just regular crying we're going to find out what the corporate mainstream media is not telling you about how we're going to filter it through some satirical comedic lenses to make it more digestible that's what we do every week hard hitting radical comedy news like redacted so night is where it's a lead.

lead . i. haven't tonio and this is america's lawyer for more than one hundred years the island nation of puerto rico has been a u.s. controlled territory but with residents on the island suffering from economic disasters created by the predatory bankers the calls for the island to officially become a u.s. state have grown louder tonight we'll take

a look at some of the legal issues involved with making puerto rico the fifty first state and how that might save the residents of the island from the ongoing financial crisis that they're suffering and later in the show we'll talk about the legal options for students suffering from out of control student loan debt don't go anywhere america's lawyer starts now. according to twenty sixteen you gov poll only forty three percent of americans know that the puerto rican is are u.s. citizens forty one percent believe that they're not but puerto rico has been an american territory since the end of the spanish-american war in eight hundred ninety eight for the four hundred years prior that it was a spanish colony in one thousand nine hundred seventeen the jones act officially

made puerto rican resident citizens of the united states in one thousand nine hundred fifty president harry truman signed a law that officially made the island a commonwealth under u.s. control in spite of in spite of that fact puerto rico is a commonwealth of the united states and its residents are u.s. citizens puerto rico don't get to enjoy many of the benefits that come along with american citizenship for example they aren't allowed to vote in the u.s. presidential elections even though they do hold primaries for the presidential candidates they have a representative in. washington d c who isn't allowed to vote on leads on legislations or other issues and they don't receive the same kind of federal financing as other states of course residents also don't have to pay a federal income tax they have their own constitution and they still get the full protection of the united states' military so while there are obvious dry.
