c.n.n. is accused of blackmailing the person responsible for creating the president wrestling clips threatening to reveal his identity if he does such a thing again. protests against the g twenty summit break out in a hamburger days before the world leaders even arrive in the german city. and the u.k. high court is at this moment deciding whether to lift the legal immunity for former u.k. prime minister tony blair opening him up to prosecution over the two thousand and three invasion of iraq.

it's three o'clock here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from our studio with me in india today welcome to the program accusations of blackmail being leveled at c.n.n. after it tracked down the person behind the donald trump wrestling clip which the president tweeted a few days ago the channel is threatening to reveal his identity if he makes another video like the trump one i'll tease digs deeper into the story around this video. so this guy makes a humorous little video and then it blows up someone edited it donald trump found it and posted it on his twitter feed it got millions of views hundreds of thousands of likes and many people had to love c.n.n. did not like being laughed at not one bit they launched a manhunt for the original creator of the video what they did is dog saying it is

digging up private information on someone or something and then publishing it could be used for law enforcement for business extortion coercion harassment online shaming and vigilante justice the reaction has been furious even julian songes waded in the matter saying that potentially what c.n.n. did may be a crime. the multi billion dollar t.v. network blackmailing a private citizen into not making funny videos about it is not journalism c.n.n. and c.n.n. succeeded they found the original creator and he has since apologized and promised never to make another video critical of c.n.n. channel says when they finally talk to him he sounded nervous as well he might c.n.n. is threatening to publish his identity for all the loonies in the world to know if

he ever stops being sorry it's right there on their website c.n.n. reserves the right to publish his identity if he stops being sorry if anything changes isn't that the deficient of blackmail the internet has reacted with fewer one user on reddit is saying that holding private information under the condition of his continued contrition is an ambiguous leap bullying of a private citizen by a major conglomerate if not blackmail on janice told us he thinks c.n.n. is issuing a clear threat. you've got the name of a person and you still don't want to mention the name you can say you can mention it any time and that there's a threat in any way to stick a clear object if you want to feed you actually is it's nothing more than a joke is a president of the united states allowed to retreat

a joke i think he is i think that's about that's the whole story is fiction and wrist is about the wrestling match hsien is picking up with trip scene and it's in my opinion totally. cool going out of their mind and getting more and more dangerous operation it's just an all going fake. propaganda operation it has nothing to do with journalism anymore so it's so totally over the top just to produce rating figures and that's all about it. at today's take before the g twenty summit begins in hamburg it seems will it lead isn't going to get the warmest of welcomes already been engulfed in protests. i'm. i'm. i mean the thing with the crowd with police in riot gear you have to spray and he

or she can call significantly on two kayakers activists offices to plant a count which protesters set up in one of the city's parks all seven of them arrested. has been closely following the story. police everybody is being prepared for a large scale demonstrations and almost certainly violence over the coming days as protesters are right for the g. twenty but this one really caught a lot of people by surprise and it seems to have come about through the she had a number of people that have turned up to protest against this g. twenty they were camping in l a park in hamburg and police decided that there was no way that was going to happen this tent city that was being set up there was dispersed by the police with some of the demonstrators arrested they fought back pepper spray was used police in full riot gear from the pictures we've seen going in there as well some quite ugly scenes very early on we've been told to expect

serious demonstrations out these g. twenty this g. twenty summits we've seen fly is all around the capital here in berlin also around other cities and other nations i've seen say come on to hamburg all these states be part of these demonstrations. to push this. stuff. so a lot of criticism over the situation to actually place this g. twenty in how big the police operation though is while it's being called the be. just in their recent german history they have had some successes if you'll call them that going into this but it also gives us a key is just how prepared and interested look at just how prepared the

demonstrators are police have been showing off a haul of weapons that they've confiscated in the city of rostock it was supposed to be part of a cache that was going to be taken to hamburg they believe in used in the potential riots there it includes things like throwing knives baseball bats brass knuckles telescopic batons as well as precision catapults though those are weapons that police have said could cause well really catastrophic injuries they're very serious weapons in the right hands we're going to be following all the way through here to try and see what happens or say we're expecting violence we weren't expecting it so soon it does seem though that the protests against this g. twenty four eclipse the political and diplomatic decisions that may be made during the summit sign from a heavy police presence to special security center have already been set up in hamburg classing the summit as a major challenge with at least eight thousand protesters expected on the streets

when activists told us that summits have a history of violent protests. there is a certain tradition of mobilizations against these summits. you may remember that. she eight summit in chino one in two thousand and one. that barely school fairly strongly government then sent in a massive police forces and one protester was shot even in two thousand seven hundred she eight summit in germany in the city of hailey also up in the north and there we had also massive protests and i think it's really this feeling of that . global capital of some really big fish some that we have failing most of the people on this planet miserable you know seeing a very high level of desolation very early on the mayor of. promise a festival of democracy around the cheetah and the summit and it does not quite

look like it i mean it looks like a civil war. british people don't believe muslims living in the country have integrated proper government failing to combat prejudice in society that's according to a new independent report released at a time when sentiments turning increasingly negative towards muslims here's a quick look at what the seventy six page document said. the british government and u.k. muslims suffer from a broken relationship anti muslim prejudice should be treated as a hate crime is something akin to anti semitism. britain needs a better anti radicalization strategy involving more muslim inputs the current one isn't trusted and isn't working on new present strategy will challenge the extremist ideology and it will stop the radicalization of honorable people. the media needs to stop treating muslims as victims all strengths to stop creating

in us and them mentality. that you get dyed lines for this. on the back of the latest wave of anti muslim sentiment expressed in the british tabloids party poker has been finding out what people in london think about regulating media to avoid such and. i wanted to show you some of these headlines and ask you what you make of them. one hundred five great muslims use for jihad. what do you think of that. load of baloney. because what i think is hard to say. because i don't know how accurate describes these people of this to to believe that's all muslims are terrorists this is this is this is feed this is no fluke which is a bit of a danger for everybody you know because once you start stereotyping people. you can become a reality do you think that there should be more regulation that journalists should

be given more rules about how to pull on muslims specifically obviously i'm not looking. to do with the iraqi regime i believe so yes i agree completely with that that not threaten press freedom. press freedoms friend anyway so are you when journalists. go too far on live report something that's not accurate for the facts are solely for whatever i personally think. that journalists should be struck off i turned to watch we have to watch people to have children full of the truth because it is what was told somebody to. we invited guests with opposing views to comment on the role of the media in the fashion. the problem we have at the minute with muslim integration into the u.k. is that not only have we got incredible amount of media corruption manipulation skewing far right leanings the rise of the far right across the media and activists

cams this report suggests is that there is a responsibility on british society to help integrate to approach muslims not as suspects not as terrorists but the problem we have is over and over again will be given examples of muslim extremist terrorism we hear about burkas we'll hear a parent's. radicalization of this report looks at it through the wrong end of the telescope i believe some muslims seek to have no relationship whatsoever with british society they have chosen not to integrate it why should it be up to british society to extend to them when they are quite a section of them are quite clearly not interested in our traditions and respecting our laws reality is this are well integrated a british society muslims are here to stay we are not anywhere you will not get to shut the borders down and overwhelming as your general election there i look like i'm in the movement i'm on the i'll let you know show me the corner left looking

for social well then what i love managed and looking for this looking for change looking to get your parents talking about foreign policy austerity i'm trying to point out that there's a section of muslims who seem to have a problem with so much that characterizes britain modern british society the pluralism the acceptance of people who have different sexual preferences the except i mean the desire to have shari'a law which apparently one in three muslims want that seems to me essentially inconceivable with a desire to integrate anti muslim hysteria is being fuel is being pumped primed in british society led by the media and far right hate preachers now it's just i totally deal with the facts of the matter it is a large section of radical islamists who have brought fear. there are to the streets of this united kingdom i believe in a free press that has a right to say whatever it wants a free press that can report matters in hollywood chooses british media demonizing and persecuting religious minority and in fact the european commission have

recommended regulation of the british media because of as they say overwhelming islamist fabian racism. the high court has held a hearing on whether to lift a ban prosecuting a former british prime minister tony blair of the two thousand and three iraq war. lords me joins me live from london with the details so laura fourteen years after the iraq invasion and might still face criminal charges. that's right this is an issue that is not going away for tony blair this case has been heard at the royal courts of justice this morning by the most senior judge in england and wales and what it's trying to do is overturn a ban on bringing prosecution against tony blair over the iraq war the court heard this morning that the invasion of iraq in two thousand and three was not necessary that it undermines the united nations and that tony blair must face

a war crimes trial in this country and the background to this is that last year a private criminal prosecution was brought against tony blair and it was blocked by judges because it was ruled that blair would have immunity against criminal prosecution so there was no point proceeding with it this case could see that immunity overturned it could see him face charges and in fact the charge that they want to level is one of aggression to the second aim of this case is to establish whether aggression is in fact a crime under english law this attempt to private prosecution is based on the findings of last year's chilcote's inquiry report was published last year and it concluded that the war at the time wasn't a last resort which of course it should be that the consequences of the invasion were severely underestimated and that post conflict planning in iraq was wholly inadequate despite all this tony blair has been in public life off and on ever

since then in fact earlier this year he announced that he would be making a comeback to politics because of breck's it now when he said that he faced the now familiar crises of war criminal but he remains utterly unfazed by those listen to this legacy of the iraq war and his service sponsored by the crimes of the. regard him as someone who should step back into politics which reputation for being . so you really should be imprisoned these war criminals the reaction to the war has kind of destroyed your preschool. not for me it's not i mean you know people say that. with this immunity being lifted or of course the relatives of those who died in the iraq war and in fact the families of soldiers who were killed crowd funded one hundred fifty thousand pounds last year and they've used that money to have this chilcote report forensically examined to see

whether there is grounds for prosecuting tony blair the hearing is over for now there's another week being allowed first of missions to be made if it's not dismissed it will then go up to the supreme court who will decide whether this crime of aggression is indeed a crime under english law but the families of those involved may yet get their day in court with tony blair thanks laura this certainly an ongoing saga saga artie's laura smith reporting from london more news is coming your way right after this short break. income inequality wage stagnation gerrymandering of political districts polarization you know the lack of effectiveness in congress there are these are well documented trends going back decades and now they're really acute and manifest to the point where people describe the system is being seized with

a kind of paralysis. it's called the feeling of. every the world should experience freedom and you can get it on the old. the old according to just. welcome to my world come along for the ride. welcome back to the program russia's foreign minister has expressed concern over

the u.n. security council resolutions on new klara zation of the korean peninsula so gay lover of war then he said through this could be used to force through regime change in north korea that's not the south korean and u.s. forces fired missiles into the sea of japan in retaliation for a north korean test missile launch artie's kate partridge joins me live now with more details kate what exactly did russia's top diplomat have to say. i then a tear oh well it's exactly as you said all of this press conference is to do with the escalation of the situation over the sea of japan so i pointed out as you said that the u.n. security council said there must be denuclearized nation of north korea but he was at pains to point out that this should not be a pretext for regime change in north korea by the west he also said that there shouldn't be a means of solving this particular conflict by use of force nor would it be acceptable if there are to be any strangulation or suffocation of north korea by economic means either all those other negatives are things that they didn't want to

happen let's go towards a positive things are what change they do want to put forward russia and china have put together a pack of measures that they propose and they're going to put forward to the u.n. security council as a way of resolving this particular situation and also as we were seeing yesterday the leaders of both countries they presented to the media their plan their initiative to help solve this particular situation. the side suggest north korea voluntarily declares a moratorium on nuclear tests missile launches and that the u.s. and south korea refrain from joint drills. well this came in a kind of response to u.s. president donald trump who'd urged korea in in a tweet as he was very fond of using saying that he wanted a situation in north korea solved what he called once and for all when of course this comes on the back of the fact that we had on tuesday pyongyang claiming that they had launched an intercontinental ballistic missile which in syria then could reach the u.s. mainland but the russian defense ministry said only traveled about five hundred fifty kilometers and went into the sea of japan and was therefore harmless and

certainly no threat to russia but then what followed was the u.s. and as you said south korea acting in joint military drills using what they called easily deployable missiles to help resolve this particular situation while in the meantime in also you've got the u.s. saying that they still want to resolve the situation on the korean peninsula they want to solve it peacefully they want stability in the region but donald trump has now sent another tweet saying that he's very concerned that he's skeptical about skeptical about the relationship he has with china saying that trade between china and north korea is now up by forty percent and after all those good relations and as we saw those those p.r. operations that we saw coming out of america where he met him at the chinese premier now it seems that he's slightly wary about china's relationship towards north korea as well so all of this is stirring tensions ahead of the g. twenty summit in hamburg. partridge. we talked to several analysts about how u.s.

involvement has influence the north korean crisis. a lot. more. and more certain. who are you are all annoyed. i think what the u.s. and south korea are doing is basically flexing their muscle to show we're not afraid of north korea we also have big bad weapons but what they're doing is answering fire with fire in a region that is a powder keg slightest miscalculation on the korean peninsula can trigger a conflict that basically mieris the entire region in a protracted war that could have catastrophic consequences not only for the region but also for the global economy and that is not in anyone's interest. in a controversial move canada is reportedly set to pay eight million dollars

compensation and apologize to a convicted murderer who was tortured during his time in the guantanamo bay detention camp back in two thousand and two there was captured by the u.s. in afghanistan and detained for the alleged murder of an american soldier father was transferred transferred to guantanamo bay where he was held for more than a decade in twenty ten canada supreme court ruled that the man had been tortured during his detention later that year he pleaded guilty to the murder of the soldier he was transferred to canada in twenty twelve to serve the rest of his sentence but was released in twenty fifteen he claims he made his admission of guilt under duress we spoke to another bag and guantanamo prisoner who might have it during his detention. i was held in the bug graham detention facility facility in afghanistan when almost harder was first brought into custody and i spent some time with him in bagram he had his eye had been shot out he was blind in one one eye he had huge

exit wounds in his shoulder and just above his chest and he was a just turned fifteen he was just turned fifteen from being fourteen he was tortured in front of me he was abused and screamed at and shouted at spat at and stripped naked and his his treatment was was was a war crime there's no other tried way to describe it the whole issue in the beginning had been the canadian government complicity in his torture it's of this book recorded video evidence that the government was physically present that sent members of ceases the intelligence services to go and interrogate him while he was a child while he was suffering from these horrific wounds and everybody who's in guantanamo soldiers guards and prisoners knew that this is not the way to treat a child in two thousand and two almost eight hundred people have been housed at guantanamo bay which despite a vow by barack obama that he closed it remains open today forty one people are still being held at the facility many of the inmates were detained without trial

and tortured nine have reportedly died. however former pentagon analyst michael maloof believes it's that way just to hand over cash to a convicted killer. the reality is he should not be compensated he did kill and americans and he worked with his father who was closely aligned to al qaeda and osama bin laden is just lucky he was picked up and was still alive today and he should just move on and for the traduced government to prepare a liberal progressive government to come out and offer compensation as they did a few years ago to another canadian who was similarly get mo i think is. over the top i think that the fact that the family of the soldier who was killed is going to canadian court now to retrieve that money had to pay them for

that for their loss i think it's appropriate. in eighty one year old man has made a two thousand kilometer journey by road all the way from the west of germany to the russian city of st petersburg but the trip took much longer than you might expect as the pension he did it all on advantage tractor and he saith it was worth every moment. i came to st petersburg because i wanted to get to know the country and the people to leave. i'm a leader overwhelmed right now because for so many people around me and i see that
