i protesters in the u.s. topple a civil war monument in north carolina that follows last weekend's deadly violence at a white nationalist rally in neighboring virginia. so. the united states needs its approval for any military action on the korean peninsula as the north tones down its threatening language. on google is accused of censorship after its automated trucker system skews searches on the leads videos from journalists groups on you tube.

live from our international news center in moscow this is our names you know not only a welcome to the program our top story further protests over confederate statues have turned violent in the u.s. some say they have racist pro-slavery overtones on monday just two days after a unite the rights rally turned deadly in virginia demonstrators destroyed a monument in north carolina. i. plus you can see here people gathered outside a courthouse in durham to topple a near century old statue of a confederate soldier some climbed on top of it while others pulled the to the ground using a rope they. heard shouting we are the revolution and call for an end to fascism in

the us. i swear the mare of lexington in kentucky says he will push to move to confederates not used to the skirts of the city the mayor of baltimore revealed similar plans but on that she'd like to keep the date secret to prevent any one wrist on monday again construction workers remove the monument of a civil war soldier in florida after two years of lawmakers pushing for its relocation we have sunday night several experts on why the monuments mean so much to some people. figures that in you know in light of today's standards would not be judged so favorably but you know they live in a different time and a different history with different history and different set of circumstances and they acted in a way that many people felt was quite orrible at the time i'm not defending any

person in particular generally nor anyone else however that is our history it's our shared history and i think if there's a larger conspiracy here that's what it is the left wants to stop free speech in this country let me make something very clear here nobody cares about this civil war or statues nobody white supremacist white nationalists neo. race says it's a thought when it turns into violence that's a different story this is called unite the right. here is saying that nobody can hear it absolutely right while you're absolutely right is the way it's. free speech is allowed even if it's hateful speech it's hate crimes that are not allowed and if. they're not allowed and i would say what the group stated on saturday charlottesville is inciting a riot i won't want to take the time also do it like you know that people don't

care about what statues and things are memorialized in our communities we do so on but i would say on the positive side this is an open we care about out of the five go here and let me interview somebody right now in our daily lives nestles with our medicare doesn't ask for the community input about what statues we want what names we want for our city center and all the work i did where it was a lavish out of these allegations are as lionel that was it two days after bloody clashes in the state of virginia donald trump to overwhelming pressure on made a second statement denouncing racism and hate groups the american leader has been under fire for feeling to single out the role of white supremacists and suffered its brawls which culminated in a car being driven into a crowd of kuntar protesters killing one woman. we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence on many sites on many so. racism is evil and those who cause

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 so much elva media still criticize the president for his the late response needed him to tweak the quote fake news media will never be satisfied he then headed to new york where he was met by crowds of protesters outside from tower to use them of racist gillum up and following report contains scenes of fire. 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 brush as white supremacy.

now the suspect in the horrific charlottesville car ramming was himself a member of the far right but the mayor of the city was very quick to put his blame on the white house and president trump and he wasn't alone 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 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 bannon 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 and always 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 because intensity has been building. i think 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 bell 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 you.

think. that is. right that. 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 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 demonize tabletop and r.t. your well u.s. senator john mccain has joined the ranks of politicians condemning the far right violence white supremacists the neo nazis are by definition opposed to american

patriotism and the ideals that define us as a people and make our nation special however many twitter users were quick to remind him that he was pictured with ukrainian nationalists not so long ago here for example he's posing with the leader of the far rights for botha or freedom party in ukraine so botha played a major role in the twenty fourteen uprising in the country. here mr mccain is tweeting positively about a meeting he had with. a member of the ukrainian parliament a man whose book from the right shows him openly displaying nazi s.s. symbols. and deep there are some notable similarities to the scenes currently playing i did in the us with those vast occurred in ukraine a few years back. was.

good wasn't. well a mccain is is an extremely nebulous character is name one does around the place trying to stir up trouble wherever he can he's also been filmed with jihad he's inside syria which of course was an illegal act to go into syria he doesn't own drapery be in the fall right in ukraine but of course in terms of internal us politics he's very anti trump and you know the the the anti trump brigade or trying to make. trump with the fog and therefore they have to condemn the fallout if they're going to try and use a stick to beat trump with i think whatever trump does it's not going to keep people people who don't like trump and they're going to be happy whatever he says what it does but it's still getting pretty bizarre and. the site korea's

president said there will be no military action on the korean peninsula without silhouettes consent the north blamed the u.s. for escalating tensions. war must never break out again on the korean peninsula only the republic of korea can make the decision for military action on the korean peninsula without the consent of the republic of korea no country can decide to take military action the united states which was the first to bring numerous strategic nuclear equipments near to us should first make the right decision and show through actions if they wish to ease tensions on the korean peninsula and prevent a dangerous military clash earlier thousands protested in seoul against the united states that ploy meant of the missile defense system in their country the calls for a deescalation on the peninsula are at all with the american president's words however only days ago he tweeted that military solutions are not fully in place

lock on load it on trump's not the sole figure in washington sounding hawkish the threat from north korea not only to the united states but to the world is very very clear this is an accidental threat to the united states we were a superpower we are high powered so the message is very clear don't test this white house. listen evans an expert on north korea believes it's a fine balancing act for the u.s. when it comes to protecting its allies in the region. i think the u.s. south korea alliance is pretty clear and they work very closely together the u.s. and south korea will be starting routine joint military exercises on the twenty first i think the u.s. has to balance its need to reassure its allies including japan also that it is committed to upholding the security alliance while also threatening pyongyang to make it very clear that if north korea were to attack the united states for example

by targeting that would be considered an act of war internet giants google and you tube are accused of censoring quote alternative viewpoints the details of bottom right after this. health care america means in standing up administrators they're not hiring doctors they're not actually improving health but they are creating more bureaucracy more fees more infant mortality life expectancy is dropping overall health standards are collapsing.

i. you're back with r.t. you tube and it's perfect company google are being accused of stifling alternative viewpoints they're cracking down on extremist content but of remove legitimate files from journalists and from opposition groups with the story here is checking the. 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 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 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 eye 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 results we updated our research quality reader 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

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 sense 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 rate is ninety two percent toxic meanwhile one yasha levine entered 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. . the president of iran has warned that the country could break away from its nuclear deal with washington while also calling the us on reliable international partner i guess. if the us administration is willing to repeat previous experiences iran will certainly within a short period not short in the scale of weeks or months within the scale of hours and days return to much more advanced position that the one that talks started this another iran is planning to allocate two hundred sixteen million dollars to its missile program on the same again to its revolutionary guard the country's deputy foreign minister says the move doesn't violate any deals that tehran is under including the twenty fifteen nuclear pact earlier this month that washington imposed new sanctions on iran over its missile program which some say undermine

stability in the region america has also accused iran of supporting terrorists. but decades around who's fueled the fires of sectarian conflict and threatening the region and causing so much violence all nations of courage its most work together to isolate there is a growing realization among your arab neighbors that they have common cause with you and the threat posed by iran then it is indeed is no question about well here's a quick recap of the iran nuclear agreement brokered two years back according to tehran it's hard to ship most of it in rich. of the country while providing international specialists access to its nuclear facilities and turn the u.s. on the united nations agreed to remove or rainy and sanctions we spoke to sayyid must have a question earlier he's a political analyst from tehran and sais iran has every right to boost its military

. we do not have any kind of international law that ban a development of conventional weapons and iran's missile i think knology falls within the same scope so it's all one of those excessive demands that the united states you know is raising given now and then it is believed into iran that the engagement policy that president obama and now. some believe that mr trump is also continuing the same kind of approach towards to iran is that pushing to iran back one step at a time further decreasing its nuclear deterrence power and stopping its nuclear and this reason technology growth then the second component of iran's power its missile and this that would go after that and they did it i mean through the recent sanctions that they ratified and imposed against iran. with elections looming

for europe's economic powerhouse germany campaigning seems to be somewhat like luster the spike the potential significance of september's vote especially in contrast to how and passion the french campaign was up this same juncture one month before going to the polls. yes but some of them are thank you thank you thank you so much i was making sure she could have been a complete with disease. thank . you. wow wow. thank you. thank you. thank you thank you.

lesley look a little bit more in depth emily series being taking a glance at the german election how it's shaping up 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 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 main 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 propagations just 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 without any agreement with our partners in a moment when those partners were overloaded just. 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 about the election campaign so far it's. right. there

campaigning. like no no. yeah i'm not so into. his politics and. 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. the elections are. in germany well it's a good question and it's like it's still there enjoy the summer and cast the right vote come autumn says this poster of america cd your party which aptly symbolizes her laid back campaign style and they stoop r.t. . meanwhile boch from holiday and fresh on the election trail didn't get the warmest of receptions up.

from merkel was booed and whistled out while speaking about the country's refugee policy supporters of the right leaning alternative for germany party stage a protest against merkel's policy of open borders for refugees they were holding banners reading merkel must go on borders instead of see dui reference to merkel's party he also called for the chancellor to resign. a political analyst consultant reiner ruffo's say the german public generally doesn'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 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 nuns and people will just be scared away from supporting such parties and therefore the germans they are specifically conservative 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 global news live from moscow twenty four hours a day this is our team see you again in thirty minutes time or r.t. programs right ahead.
