6:01 am
good afternoon this is international they said choose day the fifteenth of august is just one of the afternoon here now my name is kevin irwin here in moscow and first in this thirty minute update two days after bloody clashes in the u.s. town of charlottesville donald trump has bowed to overwhelming pressure of made a second statement denouncing racism and hate groups he's been under fire for failing to single out the role of white supremacists in saturday's brawls which culminated in a car being driven into a crowd of counter-protest is killing one woman we condemn in the strongest possible terms. this egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence on many sites on many. racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thoughts including the k.k.k.
6:02 am
neo nazis white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans much of the media though still criticize the president for his delayed response he is leaving him to tweet that quote the fake news media will never be satisfied and tweet he then headed to new york where he was met by crowds of protesters outside trump tower accusing him of racism colored moped next looks at how america's political debate is now all about labeling report does contain scenes of violence. and one of the chants most frequently used at the protests is no trump no k.k.k. hell fascist usa essentially trump and his supporters are being tarred with the same price as white supremacy. that. the suspect in the horrific charlottesville car ramming was himself
6:03 am
a member of the far right but the mayor of this city was very quick to put his blame on the white house and president and he wasn't a law he should look in the mirror and he made a choice in his presidential campaign the folks around with them to you know go right to the gutter to play our worst prejudices and i think you are seeing a direct line from what happened here this weekend to those choices trump has made it clear with bannon gorka in the white house and the klan in the streets it is now the white supremacists house. the incitement of hatred to that got us here is as real and condemn the bill as the white supremacists and i was tweets the democratic response to the car ramming mirrors the way republicans responded to the shooting at the congressional baseball practice they blame democrats for stoking up the atmosphere while reality the attack was carried out by a loud republican hater you had an increasing intensity of hostility on the left
6:04 am
three percent tension has been building. since election night hyperball the vitriol from the left has spurred threats and now action without historical parallel events like today are exactly why we took issue with and why elites glorifying the assassination of a president now most americans liberal conservative or otherwise are not violent however it seems like the leaders of the two major political parties try to make the other half of the electorate look like they are and that seems to be mobilizing people in both camps if you want to start something. and demonize me and i don't. think. that. that.
6:05 am
was the united states has created a political system in a way to demonizing one side means supporting the other side for many voters those who haven't really learned that much about their party's yet the the solution to this is to reduce some of these impediments to we need a system in which political parties have to fight for their own ideas they have to show why what they believe is good and why it's right and what's an excellent idea . and not just focus on demonizing the other side so no matter what your political outlook is the best strategy seems to be the same generalizing. it will pop and artsy your. but right wing protests and shows for the weekend centered around the removal of a civil war monument which would likely be regarded as symbolizing racism similar confederates have been targeted by companies in recent months to fight just yesterday monday protesters destroyed one in north carolina are the pictures of it
6:06 am
. i demonstrators gathered outside the county courthouse there to topple that statue you can see them climbing on the others pulled the rope to bring it down to the ground the crowd also chanted slogans such is the revolution no k.k.k. you know fascist usa. several experts on why the confrontation in shots from the letter to the deadly bomb. as a conservative you have to lay blame exactly where it lies lies with this white nationalist group the k.k.k. and any any of their ilk and what they did was they went specifically to you know liberal college towns like charlottesville virginia where the university of virginia is located to stoke claims the stoke the flames of hate and i harbor now that the president clearly renounced the trump administration has white supremacists in the white house like steve bannon and sebastian gorka and
6:07 am
that if he is really going to make his words mean anything he should fire them i also want to lay blame on the local authorities for allowing these white supremacist groups not their free speech i am all for free speech but to come in with their weapons their shields their ready for combat their pepper spray everybody who was there no mad. what was amazed our amazed at the non reaction you know this is normally this is a country where we tell the police hey back off the hyper militarization of the police but not in charlottesville they do so well guys we're out of here a.t.o.s. these people that are riding down in charlottesville are such are fringe percentage of the population is so small we have such strong and civil society groups there
6:08 am
would hate crime have civil war and since donald trump has been in office the southern poverty law center keeps track of those very specifically and the number of hate crimes has absolutely soared we see it is a very silly word. where i'm sitting here on the apple s minnesota and the president saying nothing about the bombing of a mosque it's called they ate a fractionalized the stabilizing pitting white people i guess black people and creating the illusion that diablo trump because he did not list your particular phraseology wrong because he left somewhat out even though he added it's daughter and jeff sessions said they hated everything that was hateful that wasn't good enough young talent and i know it this mainstream media are here to do one thing or one thing only to get rid of this president. you chew but its parent company google
6:09 am
is being accused of stifling alternative viewpoints they cracking down the extremist content but have also removed legitimate files from journalists and opposition groups as jacqueline vogel reports. internet regulation is becoming ever more automated meaning the machines are now in charge of monitoring what you write and post so when you have your video taken down it's nothing personal it's just the algorithm you tube now has computers largely responsible for blocking the stream of content and the company is head over heels with the cutting edge technology that makes this all possible over seventy five percent of the videos we've removed for violent extremism over the past month were taken down before receiving a single human flag and that all sounds well and good given that in theory machines should be objective but it turns out they're not recently we've seen a number of journalists monitors and syrian opposition groups how their content blocked despite the fact that very similar videos went untouched on mainstream news
6:10 am
channels you two pages those who are targeted say the site is purposely trying to erase certain documentation of the war i think what's so troubling about this if we look at the syrian accounts this is video chronicling a six or seven year war and some of the most important parts of that war from the perspective of syrians you tube though still has faith that its machines know best . well these tools are imperfect and untried for every setting in many cases our systems have proven more accurate than humans and videos that need to be removed and the video sharing website isn't alone in being found at fault google has also come under fire for showing bias that was after a number of left wing and progressive news outlets were removed from search results after new protocols were enacted by google those alternative sites claim they've seen a drastic drop and i to video on their pages sense then yet the search engine giant says the newly adopted policies were applied simply to help improve the quality of
6:11 am
results we updated our research quality reader guidelines to flag upside in user experiences including pages that present conspiracy theories unless the query clearly indicates the user is seeking an alternative viewpoint and that last little bit is a very important to take note of unless a user specifically indicates they are interested in a quote alternative view point they will be getting that when you look at the actual application of the artificial intelligence programs what you actually see is the. common and very natural organic stupidity of silicon valley elites who are since sorious in nature and actually seek to scrub the internet of divergent opinions the journalist yasha levine actually tested google's artificial intelligence which rates certain phrases as toxic so yasha levine put in phrases for example like america is corrupt and that was rated as
6:12 am
ninety two percent toxic meanwhile when yasha levine and heard the phrase hitler was right in everything he did it was only thirty four percent toxics so censorship continues to rear its ugly head online but where a group of experts could have been made to answer for this before there are now only machines which as we've seen aren't as unbiased as we first thought back on the r.t. washington d.c. . elections are looming for europe's powerhouse germany but despite the potential far reaching consequences of the vote things seem to be a bit less to a sofa less income trust than to the french campaign the way that was running at the stage. some of them have been looking at. that making sure you could have been there can you believe it was you.
6:13 am
so next to them where the job the election race is heading so far. thank you america has not only one of the world's most powerful leaders she may well be one of the world's most laid back politicians so much so that she decided to take three weeks off and then telling else right before the german voters determine whether or not she can run for a fourth term next month the fact that she chose to wear the very same outfit for
6:14 am
the last five trips she took to the same location just goes to show how well she understands her people that they prefer the status quo and change isn't necessarily good don't take my word for it just take a look at the polls support for merkel drop ten points while she's breathing in that italian a mountain air but she's still way ahead of her mean rival as speedy leader marches scholtz couldn't get any hiking sessions in his schedule because he's busy campaigning like any other politician would launch a shot even try to provoke a reaction from the chancellor by claiming that germany is not prepared for the future influx of refugees but not only that merkel ignore all of his papa cations just pepper sprayed him a nickname the chancellor shadowboxer courtesy of the local media the feeling of solidarity between states has been the most how do they get to this when did it start did it begin with a man whose decision to open borders and you agree with our partners in a moment when those partners were overloaded just. on the horizon is quite easy to
6:15 am
describe it's an s.p. the led government in september. i came to the streets of berlin to ask german voters not campaigning is a more subtle and effective form of election nearing but i ask you what you think about the election campaign so far as it's approaching six right. there campaigning. like. yeah i'm not so into. actually i can tell you right now because. i think like i'm working so moderate now i'm not. i don't know anything about right now i'm not into the election right now so far. so. we'll it's a good question and it's like it's still there enjoy the summer and cast the right
6:16 am
vote come autumn this poster by miracle c.d.u. party which aptly symbolizes her laid back campaign style. r.t. . so then back from holiday and fresh on the election trail angela merkel got a frosty reception at one rally. she. will speaking about the country's refugee policy supporters of the right leaning alternative of germany party staged a protest against merkel's policy of open borders for refugees holding banners reading merkel must go and borders instead of c.d.u. a reference to merkel's party also called for the chancellor to resign. list and consultant weather office told us germans generally don't take political risks. well the german is different and if you compare him to the american or to french people germans usually rather conservative they do not like experiments and
6:17 am
they do not tend also support political movements that are under heavy criticism so if something like they are turning to for germany or also deutsche and. you will immediately see that the political players with the help of the media will attack those movements and people will just be scared away from supporting such parties and therefore the germans they are specifically conservatives they are fearful even also supporting movements that are under criticism and therefore i think you cannot expect from germany leadership in the real big challenges of our times over in france and i was already over same to president macross honest french public for adam levine and they did just a hundred days into the job or that after the break.
6:18 am
well it still seems wrong. but i. just don't. get to shape out just to. add to. it again because betrayal.
6:19 am
when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. an elderly palestinian couple who've lived in the same house in east jerusalem for more than fifty years and none the less about to be evicted by israeli authorities . will leave for fifty three years in this house it is a great injustice israel should give us back our land they take our homes and claim it theirs they take away all of tracy and seventy six husbands eighty four they moved into their house back in nineteen sixty four that's three years before israel took over eastern jerusalem she says the threat now though her vision has left them in despair. they lead them on last the police are threatening us we don't know what
6:20 am
to do we are sitting here like fools we don't know whether to stay or leave we have nowhere to go to and maybe if we were to find at least a room we could leave but even if you were to drag out my husband and kick him i would refuse to go if israeli law stipulates the jewish residents can claim the rights to a property if they have proof that their families lived there prior to the nine hundred forty eight war a right leaning settler group in this case called the israel land for one a court battle to claim the only couples house the group's director insists is not about discrimination here though but rights. oh no it's back to be alone in the middle of. the middle on don't tend to go out and then you know i don't want to go out and this is what you must. know after all that they told that they did not they don't want to give to let you go out from our. apartment so then we told them we took them to quote this decision sparked anger amongst east jerusalem as arab
6:21 am
population where people of the couples in support the same fate awaits other arab residents of east jerusalem and it's a practice has been going on for decades according to human rights watch fifteen thousand palestinians have been stripped of their residency status over the last fifty years. and believes the strong presence of the israeli lobby abroad to prevent condemnation turning into any reaction about it situation now. is truly awful idea that these seven people might be evicted from their homes any day now is something that should trouble each and every person in jerusalem not only in it there are forty four other families who might face eviction if this eviction takes place and there is the chance for peace for all of the people in jerusalem and in this region that is in jeopardy every time a new hatreds goes into our homes into people's houses throws people out and put
6:22 am
by land settlers instead of them persons are being talked about a lot and the issue of the occupation is being brought up again and again in different places around the world but that actual action is not really been taken i think that israel has a very strong lobby around the world. just one hundred days as the president of france seems to shine maybe go off the manual mccrone a little once heralded as the champion of democratic values he's now even more unpopular than his predecessor kay partridge breaks what's behind the fall from grace. on may the seventh emanuel macross went to power as president of france. his share of the vote was sixty six percent his thirty nine years promised a fresh new era these i am totally for the construction of a new model of governance people do seeing that we need reform we want to do reform
6:23 am
so we with the reform we are a movement of profound renovation fast forward one hundred days and across popularity has fallen faster than any french president even his predecessor francois a long known as mr unpopular by the end of his presidency because of his record low ratings was doing better one hundred days in the nosedive in microns popularity came after he said he wanted to rain like the mystical jupiter father of the gods while his first divine intervention was to force his military chief to resign after telling him in public that he macro knows better because he is in charge as you would wish if you near city did not place you it a new government there. in another high handed move macro cancelled the traditional bastille day media conference apparently because he regards his views as too deep for the shallow press and when micro wanted to make his wife the first lady with
6:24 am
a public salary over three hundred thousand signed a petition against the plan saying they didn't want a queen bridgette so in just one hundred days the darling of french voters and the new face of french politics has lost the love of his people experts suggest voters fail to notice he was really offering them anything new in the first place he claimed to be and their turn a diva to the order way of doing politics but he was born and raised in this system his education his you know forested jobs to be an investment bank good over him with all his career on the oprah sphere is a of our elites the only difference between him i knew in my corner of the vicious or it system is his age or in his mother is in his way of governing arkell pretty can seem after three months the president has already fallen from grace or is one commentator put it the comments macron or indeed jupiter has come back down into
6:25 am
the atmosphere a partridge party harris. macross ratings are also believed to be influenced by his apparent obsession with public image he wanted for instance a bigger office photo than any other president and it looks like he tried to copy other leaders hot winning photos too like these he sees in every photo op he care to show that he has lost touch with the people he is a big time football fan just like barack obama mccrone also seems to be takers from cues from the former french president charles de gaulle as well publisher in germany believes image is the only thing that mccrone can control within his party right now. he's compelled to enter the fray because the m.p.'s he has over with. his policy has been created it out of the blue and because they have a percent of the center seats they have hired people like in business firm but without any experience of group political world you have for instance the m.p.'s who said that there will be late at the french assembly because they had their
6:26 am
tennis lessons you can find m.p.'s welcome to unable to well search simple questions to journalists mr merkel doesn't have any party that's why he pay so much attention to his image that's the only thing he can control effect exactly twenty six minutes past one they actually check out his facebook page follow us on twitter i'm kevin i would think so watching this news update our programs continue right after the break about. the city of minima so mark was hit hardest by the twenty eleven tsunami but it was

damaged mostly by the radiation after the nuclear disaster. you may not know you did not. kill mom. i am a little slow so to sum it up there will be contamination is not complete but many locals could not leave their houses and farms also but still he might. be a nice nice kid. see the chicks don't want to they stay strong like their ancestors centuries ago did. no i mean. if you're the one i will then we'll find a way to rebuild their lives in the. ratings
6:28 am
and salutations now is the time for reflection or watchers by now i assume most of the syrian the united states of c. read or heard about the young man whose moral compass have been so consumed with hate that he would turn a vehicle and weapon and attack those who would stand in opposition to his fractured and important beliefs our hearts go out to have her hair and her family along with the seventeen others who were injured by this act of one justify violence and pure collars now while the corporate media scrambles to churn out their sensational headlines and the politicians scramble to turn this tragedy in
6:29 am
the political capital to bash their opponents with. let us not forget just how much of a key role these two players played in the radicalization of so many people in groups across this country politicians and the media how often have we seen the corporate news media feign discussed while parading out white supremacy in their race as leaders for click bait interviews and headlines how often have we seen politicians capitalize on xena phobic fears playing the political extremes for votes stoking the fires of hate by exclaiming how and godly and evil the other side is then throwing their whipped up base a carefully coded bill or two to keep them voting in order to hold their seats of power all these kind of actions by our political leaders and ratings hungry for the state give legitimacy to both who peddle racism and fear of anyone who looks differently thinks differently or believes differently than they do.
