been lost and now government forces are on the verge of fully liberating the city of terrorists or one of the last i saw strongholds in syria we spoke to a syrian army commander about how this military success was possible. the syrian air force played the main role in locating the terrorist forces known as i saw their identify their ammunition warehouses and listened in to meetings in which the terrorists planned attacks inside and around their resort with the help of russian airpower the syrian air force struck these places ahead of the arrival of syrian government troops this weekend isis ability to attack and to call in reinforcements from morocco and palmira syrian forces fought fierce battles the terrorists have planted improvised explosive devices and car bombs all around trying to prevent the army from entering the city in the in the syrian army gained a great deal of momentum and was able to connect there is all with other territories it has gained. meanwhile

a humanitarian convoy has reached the city for the first time since i saw three sieges broken residents queued for through the water and other vital supplies we spoke to some of them. people into arizona are on the brink of starvation we would separate for food and water to reach the city that was all we wanted and thank god help has now arrived. we almost died from hunger thing god the humanitarian aid to right we thought we were going to die. but we cannot describe how relieved we are people were dying we would like to think they are me and pay tribute to them for lifting the siege. russia also joined the humanitarian efforts by sending its convoys to the newly liberated parts of the city for the past three years locals have depended on the troops on the military airfield controlled by one of the syrian army's brigades local journalist that march had caught up with that ok which has now joined the major assault all myself. i am a just

a three kilometers away from the one hundred thirty seven degree gate i am it just less than one kilometer of all these little gatherings in this imaginary area be just behind that building now the residual area of dirt is or is just about seven hundred meters it's worth mentioning that some medical equipment and other food supplies have just entered the city here i was again the next i did meet is the military all reports on show that you hearing there are drifts in the sky now this side of me that there is the military airborne today result it's a just a few kilometers and also it is witnessing some juicy clashes between the syrian on me and eyes on militants. russia's new ambassador to the u.s. has taken office and it comes at a time of strained relations between the two countries anatoly and tunnels has

already met with donald trump during the meeting the ambassador for me presented his credentials to the american president a washington correspondence american explains what talent is the new ambassador is likely to face. well a much anticipated meeting between russia's recently appointed ambassador to the u.s. and u.s. president donald trump has taken place and to nobs predecessor was constantly targeted by the western media portrayed in a negative light over a number of allegations given the controversy surrounding the previous diplomat there are now many speculations around the new figure and as with all u.s. russia meetings this one also attracted media attention especially amid rising diplomatic tensions antonov in particular expressed russia's eagerness to normalize relations with washington russian. relations between the two countries the relations between the united states and russia.

international peace and rigorous as well as strategic stability according to the diplomat the meeting took place in a warm and constructive atmosphere commenting on the meeting the ambassador said that moscow is ready to take concrete steps to improve relations with washington and despite the ongoing diplomatic spat between the countries that saw us russia relations sink to one of the lowest points in history and said he believes the situation is mendable provided there is enough will to cast aside political differences and work together now this is all quite a positive shift from the rhetoric we've been hearing from both sides lately and it seems that improve relations between the two countries seems even more promising considering the new russian ambassador was actually a key member of the team that worked on the two thousand and ten new start bilateral nuclear arms reduction agreement. a lack of dialogue on the possibility of a escalation of tension would benefit neither russia nor america that's according to

political analyst charles i'll tell. it's really you know difficult for me to understand why our either side is going down this path i mean you know we could quibble and say you know in terms of our population we have a larger population that you could come back and say well we have larger territory and whatever but i mean this is really you know i have two children and a case that occasionally when they would fight over small problems and or great opportunities you know i would try to teach them a lesson or two i'm not saying i try to regard the united states and russia as children but you know with all the problems we face around the world in particular our joint problem with radical islamic terrorism. and i caught i mean it seems to be still that finding its full potential like you go on and on and on with all those problems with with so many shared interests i fail to see the wisdom of going down this path. jennie's foreign minister gabrielle has moved to the top of the latest approval ratings in the country edging. despite the fact he's expressed his

reluctance to become the chancellor off to germany as to the polls in two weeks is a quick look at the country's current from for its. i was close to being arrested in the wrong china turkey and saudi arabia because i visited those countries i like to think i'd be able to refrain from triggering any foreign policy crises of my words.

after becoming the country's foreign minister gabriele stepped down as leader of the social democratic party although he still remains one of its members the party's the closest rival to the ruling christian democrats headed by chancellor merkel in an exclusive interview gabriele told us his feel in the upcoming elections and on sanctions targeting russia. disfigured by self i was very happy when two days ago the russian president vladimir putin publicly announced plans to request a un mission of course the conditions proposed by russia are not the same as the ones we all ukrainians proposed a considerably good first step and what we need to do now is negotiate with the goal of the stablish in a cease fire and pulling back heavy weaponry and now we have an opportunity to do that and if we manage to implement the truce at least the political process of reconstructing done bass may start then we can start lifting sanctions against

russia i was criticized yesterday for my position on ukraine but i still believe it's correct. i want people to vote in germany's interests and in their own interests we want this country to prosper and that's possible only within a united europe those who are turning against europe will weaken our country in the long run. i think russia is just as concerned about islamist terrorism as we are and russia like us is concerned about the proliferation of nuclear weapons if north korea continues down this path and other small countries follow we will want the same thing as russia arms control nucular disarmament and measures to ensure peace establish trust and defeat islamist terrorism our countries have plenty of shared interests. saudi arabia has suspended all dialogue with qatar that's after qatar media were accused of

misreporting phone conversations between the am aware of qatar and saudi arabia's defense minister donald trump had of the gulf states to unite against iran expressed his willingness to act as a mediator between riyadh earlier that the us president allies that qatar was a sponsor of terrorism. if i can help mediate between creator and in particular the u.a.e. and saudi arabia i would be willing to do so the nation of qatar unfortunately has a storage leap in a funder of terrorism at a very high level donald trump made those remarks back in june when four countries in the region first cut diplomatic and transport links with the gulf nation saudi arabia egypt bahrain and the u.a.e. accused of supporting terrorism. the us has its largest air base in the middle east and qatar around eleven thousand american troops stationed just weeks after the

blockade president trump approved last fighter jet deal with doha worth twelve billion dollars terror on university politics professor side mohammad marandi believes the u.s. just wants to boost arms sales to the region. trump really is completely discredited outside of the united states behaving in a provocative manner across the globe trump is very unpredictable so. therefore it's very difficult to say what he's up to and therefore what the position of the united states will be in the future but obviously one of his object of his is to milk the countries in the persian gulf region they're they're poor seeing that the kuwaitis to buy more weapons that are used to buy more weapons the about amy's and the emirates and the saudis supply more weapons from the united states one of the most powerful atlantic hurricanes in history is battering the caribbean we'll have the latest updates for you after this short break.

states and to say ok it's not just you know small easily problem. welcome back to the program the new york times claims to have exposed another technique used by russia to influence the us election allegedly russian boats were creating fake cons to pay for political scientists spread anti clinton messages on twitter and facebook. takes a closer look. at your putin has an army of internet trolls a legions of trolls that they have spreading program one message saying the problem is mission was to her through us democratic process to hurt hillary clinton and

undermine her presidency. facebook and twitter were turned into deception propaganda. hundred thousand so fake. mr putin interfere in the twenty sixteen election put him self ordered the attacks gave his cyber experts broad direction. wow you might think this looks like a new t.v. show that's about your screens but no it's actually a new york times article use your imagination now kremlin bots turn into americans who influence the u.s. presidential elections since ational plot line the script must be amazing well here's a spoiler it was inspired by a post by facebook's security chief which said they had discovered hundreds of bots

purchasing space for political ads our analysis suggests these accounts and pages were affiliated with one another and likely oprah rated out of russia this plotline also as a hint of mission impossible to sway the elections for just a hundred thousand dollars compare that with the whopping clinton campaign budget and what was the impact of that mission while facebook estimates that out of all the election related content posted on the platforms only one tenth of one percent resulted from information attacks like the alleged kremlin pain they'll need to do better than that if they want to sell this dollywood but ok what about the main villain i think you know what i'm talking about ip addresses can simply be made up mr putin said referring to internet protocol addresses well showing the striking familiarity with how cyber attackers might cover their tracks president putin mentioned that ip addresses can be masked and anyone can pretend to be someone else

seems he knows way too much about how it all works there's even a spin off on twitter it turns out the russian bots reply directly to trump on twitter oh those clever russians clearly this was an effort to influence donald trump they know he reads tweets so what exactly does that prove nada zilch zero zero well the title was so promising but it turned out to be the same old story with nothing proven and nothing tangible to go francis and thiago r.t. . facebook recently changes view on the alleged interference and i had influence leading some to question the credibility of the allegations right after the u.s. elections c.e.o. mark zuckerberg said it was crazy to think fake news could have influenced the presidential vote. you know personally i think the the idea that. you know fake new is on facebook of which you know it's

a very small amount of the content. influence that what the election anyway i think is a pretty crazy idea right and it's. you know voters make decisions based on their lived experience facebook and they claimed it was unaware of any paid as designed to influence elections then on wednesday the company said it had found three thousand suspicious however the companies refusing to release any of them at the same time google says it hasn't found any evidence of suspected targeted ad campaigns we talked to historian eric celeste's who has doubts over the allegations of facebook earned sixty six billion dollars from advertising just last year alone and be a legit campaign issue that to your campaign with one hundred thousand dollars obviously that could not have weighed an election anywhere except maybe in

a small town in a presidential campaign there are hundreds of millions of dollars that are spent no one in the government or at facebook or in the news media is presenting even a single one of the alleged three thousand on line advertisements the lack of true shipley shows their intent i mean that they would present this garbage to the other like it's not even worth presenting at all all the allegations are so bay the special counsel who's investigating to try to find a reason to have the president impeached is looking into everything that he can. over to florida now and these are pictures showing the first signs of the a rival of hurricane officials award. of a large scale catastrophe the storm has weakened somewhat to category three now but is expected to strengthen again it's already been one of the most powerful atlantic
