this is not how capitalism work this is our capitalism goes hopelessly disastrously wrong. tech giants take center stage in the alleged russian meddling scandal with google now joining facebook and twitter and declaring it will testify to congress and as the hunt for signs of supposed outside interference intensifies in the american media. council and activists occupy local schools to prevent spanish police from closing down polling stations with the region poised to vote in an independence referendum deemed illegal by madrid plus. a months two years those russia launched its anti terror campaign in syria we look back at what's been achieved in that time.

there is nine am here in the russian capital and you're watching all of the international with me they care and good to have you with us. google says it will cooperate with the u.s. all thora tease about alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen presidential elections is the latest tech giant off of facebook and twitter to make headlines in the songa to pin down outside interference google will also reportedly conduct an internal investigation before it testifies in november earlier twitter published a report on how it battled the alleged russian meddling last year taking a swipe at r.t. in the process by revealing confidential information regarding how much this channel spends on ads on the social media giant twitter claims that nearly two thousand tweets from r.t.i.

accounts quote definitely or potentially targeted the u.s. market. well i think it's a witch hunt i think that they don't care about what hillary was doing and they want to they're very biased against that from him pain so far they haven't showed me an ad that was a that was a pro trump ad that was paid for by the russian government most of the time you could look at some of this stuff that's going around and i think it's all coming from sore losers i thought it would be better with more outlets and the internet to counteract some of this but it looks like sometimes this backfires and they actually end up using the internet to try to stir up more trouble frankly i don't have the sensation that boy this is a big deal you know if we don't find out and find out exactly what russians did to our elections you know the end of the world is coming i think that's a bit of fear mongering i can understand everything that is being

a huge been going on i just see what's happening in this post-election period as a result of a bunch of sore losers that were shocked that they didn't win the election and now they're out there to sort of go after a witch hunt but i think that the responsibility for us ought to be is what has our government done has our government been involved after they're in power and unfortunately we're involved too much around the world from the u.s. election to buying facebook ads and now even disrupting the n.f.l. is means that everything that goes wrong type back to russia well let me we discuss the recent allegations with media analyst lionel and went down columnist for the hill news website. what is troubling to most americans here is that the latest example involves playing race cards in american politics from some russian sources to try to divide americans there are allegations with some that didn't at

this point who are the russians russian government russian people people who speak russian what we don't know anti fracking ads black lives matter how is that going to help donald trump oh i know because it causes chaos details don't matter just mentioned russia mentioned r.t. and we're off and running president putin and everyone else knows the exact truth the whole truth about what happened what it would prove relations is to stop it stop whether anyone will admit it or not is not stop stop interfering in the american system stop promoting racism or racial division promoting any political candidate or party in the united states by not doing the things that were on the news now that they are doing one question what is the what is the best evidence you have take all the time you want the best evidence you have of anything that you

have attempted to accuse russia of you know the senate intelligence committee democrats and republicans the f.b.i. every law enforcement agency every cattle intelligence agency in america many many and most republican senators and republican members of congress republican and i'm a liberal democrat republican agree with every word i just said about what russia has done i'm trying so hard to play along i swear to you i'm not trying to be don i don't understand what if somebody were to pay an ad for black eyes matter n.f.l. boycott whatever it is so what if they were to buy an ad that is on the news already how is the russian. story somehow worse deeper or affecting people more. then the other story on berry ten thousand times on ten thousand other platforms i would advise the russian government to think carefully about what i'm saying it is in their interest to follow the advice that i'm more

free beer which is to stop it and the rest of the mainstream media is not letting up in its allegations against russia and miss n.b.c.'s rachel montor for example has accused russia of meddling just about everywhere from europe to the middle east or a con takes a closer look. i have reason to believe that russia does not watch this t.v. show so here's an experiment let's create a fake secessionist movement in the united states on the theory that russia will support secession of anyone in the west for any reason just because they'd literally love for the west to break apart lately it seems that rachel maddow covers russia more than any other topic for the past few months she's managed to connect almost every news event to russia she starts with fires at ukrainian ammunition depots but also conveniently fails to mention that such fires have happened multiple times two thousand and four in two thousand and five and two thousand and six but facts don't matter when her sole agenda is to blame russia now we might not be here to prove her wrong but we can however note that her reports

are filled with in accuracies and we saw that this week in iraq where russia was one of the only nations on earth that supported the northern iraq referendum in which the kurds voted this week that they should break off northern iraq from the rest of iraq and become their own independent nation now that's completely false the russian foreign ministry said in a statement that moscow supports unity sovereignty and territorial integrity but it doesn't stop there even somehow manages to drag catalonia into this there's also going to be another independence referendum this weekend in spain where the capital on the region is voting on whether or not they'd like to break off and form an independent state apart from spain turns out russia is supporting that one too and she says russia supports the catalan independence referendum but contrary to what maddow says russia views the issue as spain's domestic affair a position which spain's ambassador to russia believes to be perfect and accusations of course don't even and there pressure for years in this country as actively promoted the secession of texas rachel maddow sentiments were quite

similar to the rest of western media and one of the only pieces of evidence cited is that the group's means contained grammatical errors but that's not the only time russia was under rachel maddow spotlight she's been accusing trump of colluding with russia's. since the election you're not having a terrible terrible dream also you're not dead and you haven't gone to hell this is your life well this is our election this is us this is our country we know of the russian attack on our election russian efforts to try to elect donald trump president did not seem to be a super labor intensive process it wasn't like an industrial process but you do need people to do the work they're apparently still working now this summer still against us even though rachel maddow is enjoying these record high ratings it seems as if political discourse has been reduced to celebrity gossip which is quite unfortunate that there is no longer some sort of boundary between news and entertainment. spain's council lonia is on the edge of what could prove

occasion is controversial independence referendum on sunday is plans that two and a half thousand polling stations will participate even though move dritte has ordered them to be shut down as it regards the vote as legal locals have staged sit ins to prevent the crackdown artie's medina cotton of reports one of the schools being used as a polling station where is standing very close to one else the schools located here and the barcelona city center it is a place for voting on sunday now police have been ordered to shut down old polling station so the people of this neighborhood decided to stay within the doors of the school inside of the school to prevent this from happening. what you see here was not planned before. leaving of the city defending the place where we want to vote. if you turn around you will see when the doors of this school open. in order to

keep defending these votes and the spanish authorities have already taken some harsh measures to prevent this referendum from going forward fourteen council and state officials have been arrested extra police has been sent into the city u.n. experts are saying that these. sorts of restrictions are quite worrying as they may violate fundamental human rights now meanwhile as the days after the referendum draws nearer the splits and the council and society is really getting more and more avid and with the protests now taking into the streets people protesting both for and against this vote this is the biggest really constitutional crisis spain has seen in decades and nine side seems to be willing to somehow backtrack and meet the other one halfway. lord order in the region is maintained by catalans regional police force known as the morsels of d.s.

crowd there this replace the spanish police locally almost ten years ago and is controlled by the council and government or consular forces have been tasked with preventing sunday's referendum from happening however it seems that all fears in madrid that they may not comply the spanish government has deployed national military forces known as the civil guard to the region to ensure the vote is stopped some six thousand civil gods have been stationed at ports in the region arriving on spanish interior ministry charted cruise ships they will stay in the region and till october the third a spokesperson for catalonia is local police force that while orders will be followed doesn't necessarily mean things will be prevented the whole boom or the truth of the one of the main roles of the police is to guarantee the inner unity of our society in this respect the catalonian police do not support those either for or against the referendum but rather all catalonians we have no choice but to obey

the decisions of the court and prosecutor's office when it's about control over crowds and public order we need to see what happens in each individual case if we can't prevent something it doesn't mean we don't follow orders but that most probably we can't do anything about it. the spanish government says the referendum is illegal and that quote the secessionist initiative is to break the country and many spaniards are also against the idea of consular and independence. well people have voted in a mock barlow's that was held in the spanish capital the question on the ballot paper said do you want consular lonia to remain living space hundred seventy referendum activists took part in this as a division in spanish a sizing close the country's european partners all not flushing out. for the future i mean that's. the reason.

for the necessity. of doing that is that the god of the. e.u. should cover the their feet are not to take sides for their effort a referendum and they do pay their share note but as they say that the those measures taken but. the government those moderates are not acceptable you must be for the president to do it over to where the cost of done the same things that will be agreed that national ask on those will come out as a lucius for the measures of everything and now we've got the side there's no i would like today your peer review to do we did feel bold push to do that but see for peace. negotiation we should now russia's on to terror campaign in syria is two years old today we're taking it back it was been achieved off the shelf break.

there are some nazi. if it's not the mass of the a.s.d. voters but you know say that our culture of atonement. our remembrance of nuns nazi crimes is wrong that's too much it's the attitude of some people in the. deep which by the way is now in the process of tearing itself apart. thank you for new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington controls the media the media control over the voters elected to businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done

before. welcome back now today it marks two years since the russian military operation to defeat terrorism in syria stasi it let's take a look back at some of its key achievements. to come. clean. here on the map you can see just how much territory i still has lost in syria since that time but twenty fifty the russian defense ministry says eighty seven percent of syria is now islamic state free r.t.

correspondents have witnessed some of the milestones of the russian campaign. this is the ad big in love talking from which russian jets. against islam mix the targets here in syria. the it's. time the planets are ready to go what's a moment's notice. the. car . is quite incredible to be standing hay in the pulse of the dead that decade

since fifty of about that. people around the outfeed could be reduced to dust in this amphitheater laid down by the romans almost two thousand years ago that isis staged one of its sickest massacres the russian military considers it the crowding jewel of the operation here in syria. one comes to the government's side of aleppo the sees what you see on your way here where just a few hundred meters away from the front line. we're in the al assad. and the rebels are pushing into aleppo

again. the rescuers are now digging through the rubble looking for the body of a thirteen year old go. and. if. it. were is a syrian still reposition overlooking the industrial quarter of that is sort of the battle is said to be fear isis fired back as we filmed shells speak and fooling around. we ran but the syrian batteries kept firing.

live in did as order is still far from normal but at least it will be starving to death and the more. you're. getting back it's a wave of accusations of turning into a president of the rich french leader a man on the cross has said that his latest tax reform is aimed at encouraging investment and promoting tolerance in the country however people we spoke to in paris don't buy that saying the reform will work against them artie shaw explains how do you know when you're not just rich but you won't feel fit wage. fast cars and resources a definitely signs that eve more than

a pretty penny to spend right. well not so much in france where the tories of the rich and famous no longer eligible for tax and that's causing quite a stir if you think this is. i think this is unfair but justice no longer exists in france there isn't a justice system anymore this is the hunger for power of a prince who wants to rule our country how he wants. government is only for the rich and he doesn't care about the poor we don't have a middle class there are only poor people who work for the rich yes i am outraged and we the young people should protest against this much switching how wrong tax is well his government claims that it wants to you have the extremely wealthy including tens of thousands of millionaires who fled the country because of the country's old tax system and even though only

a tiny fraction of french people pay the old tax money going to own m.p.'s. i admit they going to face a hard time explaining bass. how could i explain this to six year olds who own an old apartment that they will be taxed more than young trader's driving a ferrari so cool that the taxes raised under the old system i cancelled out by the money from the city lost by people trying to avoid it but many people particularly pension is say they'll be hard to hit until the new system and they do you use a claim that must cost governments is only for the rich and the super rich. not see this. this this consensual it is just spoken about the number of protests in france denouncing the policies of the president one student protest in paris was altered in clashes with police and spoke to a member of a french left wing party you told is that if nothing changes in the crossings

policy his popularity will sink further attracting a rich people to invest in france is always a similar agreement but mr mccrone forgot that france is one of the. best country for already best country for. foreign investment mr marquand was elected with with them and yet likud us presented by many medias like the new president jiang if he would change things and it was a lie because what he's proposing is this same old politics that only been the first beneficiary for the rich are seeing the impact will be that less and less people. believe that mr merkel and that is popularity will go down. monsanto lobbyists have been denied access to the european parliament passed off so they were fused to attend a hereward is the first time any piece used a new enabling them to ball firms ignoring summons the hearing that was ignored by

months on toto was set up after a group of parliament members and. that some of the studies into the company's products could be flawed the law makers also stressed the lack of transparency. how can we be sure of develop duty of the conclusions about to see fifty or otherwise of life force eight when there is lack of transparency when it is publicly revealed by the latest us court cases that the scientific data provided by the company experts was falsified but life is a b m e p h as mentioned is used by long sun so in some of its weed killers chemists say that it may cause serious i've damage and is toxic to animals and people the world health organization says it can also cause cancer the organic consumers association says that monsanto will sweep the real effects of its chemicals under the carpet if it helps them maintain profits. the stakes for monsanto are extremely high they have an eight billion dollar industry that they're

trying to protect in the united states there are hundreds of people who have gotten cancer from exposure to monsanto's roundup herbicide who are currently suing the company we have a paper trail that goes back to the one nine hundred eighty s. that shows monsanto knew that round up causes cancer and. they have been able to successfully suppress this evidence and it was only until two thousand and fifteen when the world health organization determined that monsanto is roundup was a probable human carcinogen they've been trying to cover their tracks and convince regulators that things should proceed business as usual in the united states and in the european union they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars euros every year to suppress the evidence that their products are dangerous and to improperly influence regulators and decision makers in parliament or in the congress if it means

billions of dollars in sales to monsanto i think they probably would be better off continuing to hide the evidence even if it means being bad for lobbying. when you can share your thoughts on the day's stories by following us on facebook on twitter and leaving your comments you can also find me that if you aren't on t.v. and join me again for the latest headlines in about thirty minutes. oh you. see you know you next. to. me you asked me would i do do you. yes a little bit since the last time. i could introduce you eat it is to the

most vocal drug syndicates. while you grow one of those tomatoes that you get with this is a big good deal of the public don't get what the market for the for you nobody wants to keep. them up there. is. that government knows what they do and they do nothing. but if they. damn well going to redact to deny it

all right so common capper next day and against police brutality and systemic racism finally went viral this past weekend getting wide support throughout the n.f.l. even from teams with racist logos. on the content of dissidents runs deep when you're young pot of water. well i like to struggle black lives matter protests wearing amos n andy t. shirt to slide why does everybody have a like that. so you may not think this story is important about the n.f.l. you know because football is your bread and circuses right it's just bread and circuses that is russian by the way bread and circuses goes back to roman times meaning you give the people enough bread and circuses and you can abuse them all you want you can you can have them work in pursuit labor wages you can hire. culpepper's to put up grammar monuments of you and your royal penis everywhere you

know nowadays you can use all the people's tax dollars to drop bombs on who even cares or stand it doesn't matter as long as the football players run past in the soup line isn't too long who circus is are meaningless contrivances used as an opiate for the masses of course now the ruling elite also use opioids as an opiate for the masses metaphors are hard work so just go straight to the opioids or else whack everybody out on oxy cotton once sampson learned speech and shivers they won't be complaining much about voter suppression or low wages as they're cleaning the poop from their pants. but here's the point the bread and circuses are incredibly important in keeping those dumb and to sleep so when even the bread and circus is start getting angry start standing up it could be catastrophic for the

fraudulent waffles exploiting this nation all right when the tightrope walkers and the dancing elephants start to go and we're not ok with this completely corrupt system where when the when the outside clowns raise a multicolored fist against imperialism and a honk their dollar for no reason horns as a salute to those harmed by the military industrial complex when their sourdough bread in the bag gets take a knee because they don't feel the stars and bars represent all colors of bread equally. when that happens it's a big deal this is a big deal one of these players taking a new during the star-spangled banner is the cultural equivalent of a missile on the battlefield of our nation's mindscape this is me more fair and the only thing that gets.
