8:01 am
so i welcome come to life from moscow he watching r.t. international's good to have your company our top story this hour two days after bloody clashes in the u.s. town of charlottesville donald trump has by. overwhelming pressure made a second statement denouncing racism and he has been under fire for failing to single out the role of white supremacists in saturday's brawls which come culminated in a car being driven into a crowd of counter protesters killing one woman we condemn in the strongest possible terms. this egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence on many shots on many shows. racism is evil and those who cause
8:02 am
violence in its name are criminals and thugs including the k.k.k. neo nazis white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans while much of the media still criticize the president for his delayed response leading him to tweak the fake news media will never be satisfied he then headed to new york where he was met by crowds of protesters outside trump tower accusing him of racism. looks next at how america's political debate is all about labeling at the moment this report does contain things about. 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 brush as white supremacy.
8:03 am
now the suspect in the horrific charlottesville car ramming was himself 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 trump and he wasn't a law he should look in the mirror but he made a choice in his presidential campaign the folks around with them to you know go right to the gutter to play on 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 bannan gorka in the white house and the klan in the streets it is now the white supremacists house. the incitement of hatred to the got us here is as real and condemn the bill as the white supremacists you know 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 was public enemy that you had an increasing intensity of hostility on the left
8:04 am
three percent tension has been building. since election night. that 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 give.
8:05 am
thanks. to our better. than that. 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 parties 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 why it's an excellent idea. not just focus on demonizing the other side so no matter what your political outlook is the best strategy seems to be the same generalizes demon it's been hard to see your. well that right wing protest in charlottesville did center around the removal of a civil war monument which had lastly been regarded as symbolizing racism similar
8:06 am
confederate statues elsewhere have been targeted by campaigners in recent months and on monday protesters destroyed one in north carolina. with the was trying to say gather that side the county courthouse to topple the statue some could be seen climbing it bolivar's pulled on a rope to bring it to the ground prior to also chanted slogans such as the revolution and no k.k.k. no fascist usa was there we can violence in charlottesville has accelerated similar initiatives in other southern states the mayor of lexington kentucky said on saturday that he will push for the relocation of two confederate statues to the of the city the next day the mayor of baltimore revealed a similar plans but added she'd like to keep the exact date secret to prevent the unrest or so on monday construction workers removed the monument of a civil war soldier in florida after
8:07 am
a two year long effort but we sounded out several experts on why the confrontation in charlottesville the weekend did lead to deadly violence. as a conservative you have to lay blame exactly where it lies you know 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 store claims the stoke the flames of hate and i harbor nonsuch the president clearly renounced the trump administration has white supremacists in the white house like steve bannon and sebastian gorka and 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
8:08 am
weapons their shields their ready for combat their pepper spray everybody who was there no matter what was a maze maze at the non-reaction you know this is normally this is a country where we told the police back off the hyper militarization of the police not in charlottesville they do so while we're here a.t.o.s. these people that are riding in charlottesville are such are fringe percentage of the population is so small we have such strong and civil society groups that would hate crimes have supported 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 very questionable. in
8:09 am
the apple as minnesota and the president saying nothing about the bombing of a mosque it's called they ate a fractionalized east. stabilizing pitting white people i guess black people and creating their loaded dad dad all trial because he did not list your particular phraseology. because he left somewhat out even though he our lives daughter and jeff sessions said they hated everything that was hate for that wasn't good enough you know if you know it this mainstream media are here to do one thing or one thing only to get rid of this president. now you tube and its parent company google are being accused of stifling alternative viewpoints they are cracking down on extremist content but have also removed the legitimate files from journalists and also what position groups in vegas has the story internet regulation is
8:10 am
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 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 have their content blocked despite the fact that very similar videos went untouched on mainstream news 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
8:11 am
perspective of syrians you tube though still has faith that it's 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 eye to video on their pages sense then yet the search engine giant says the newly adopted policy is or applied simply to help improve the quality of results we do did our research quality rater guidelines to flag upsetting user experiences including pages that present conspiracy theories unless the query clearly indicates the user is seeking an alternative viewpoint and that last little
8:12 am
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 rate certain phrases as toxic so yasha levine put in phrases for example like america is corrupt and that was rated as ninety two percent toxic meanwhile when yahshua levine and heard the phrase hitler was right in everything he did it was only thirty four percent toxic 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. r.t.

washington d.c. . now elections are looming for europe's powerhouse germany but here to spot the potential far reaching consequences of that things do seem to be a bit that cluster and that is in contrast to how the french campaign was running a study. than a grant got some of them have been saying that he thinks that someone can choose who could open a can we do it because you like. the
8:14 am
gym election rice is heading. 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 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
8:15 am
that italian a mountain air but she's still way ahead of her lean 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 a march in shots 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 this off occasions she's pepper sprayed him a nickname of the chancellor shadowboxer courtesy of the local media the feeling of solidarity between states has been lost 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. on the horizon is quite easy to 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 electioneering when i ask you what you think
8:16 am
about the election campaign so far it's approaching six right. there campaigning. like. yeah i'm not so into. his politics and. actually i can tell you right now because. i think like i'm working so hard right now i'm not. i don't know anything about right now i'm not into the election right now so far. the elections are a. german. question and it's like you're still there enjoying the summer and cast a ripe old come autumn says this poster of america cd your party which aptly symbolizes her laid back campaign style and they stoop r.t. . well back from holiday and fresh on the election triangle merkel did get a frosty reception though one rally.
8:17 am
she was booed and whistled while speaking about the country's refugee policy supporters of the right leaning alternative to germany staged a protest against policy of open borders for refugees they were holding banners reading must go on board is instead. a reference to his party and also the chance to resign. political analyst and consultant says the 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 they do not tend also support political movements that are under heavy criticism so if something like
8:18 am
they are turning to for germany or also deutsche and. then 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 conservative they are fearful even of supporting movements that are under criticism and therefore i think you cannot expect from germany leadership in the real big challenges of our times. you watch the aussies national have more news for you and a couple in. the
8:19 am
future we go. every the world should experience. and you. will. according. to. the same wrong well we just don't. get to shape out. active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground.
