secretary of state rex tillerson now in the phone call of the u.s. secretary of state was told by lab robbed that diplomatic properties of russia illegally seized by the united states should be returned and there was a warning of legal consequences and possible retaliation if this was not done so now there was a statement issued by russia's foreign minister ministry after the phone call took place and in the statement said russia reserves the right to undertake legal action and retaliatory measures now this is in reference to the property the diplomatic property of russia that was seized after the consulate of russia in san francisco was closed down now furthermore in the phone call we also know that both elaborate and tillerson expressed support for ongoing consultations between the two countries regarding the diplomatic shutdowns and the tension furthermore that syria and korea

were both discussed with russia emphasizing the importance of dialogue in resolving of the tension in those two situations now. from what we understand this is a continuation we know that there are allegations of russia possibly meddling in the foreign elections in the us elections and that san francisco consulate was closed down so we'll be waiting for more information about the continuing about about the consultation we have this statement from the foreign minister much appreciate you bringing wrote it today that story kelly mopin the. movie on people from liberated towns in the syrian province of their resort trying to get their lives back on track after three years surrounded by islamic state parties but i guess the as the story now of two young sisters whose battle for survival isn't over despite the terrorists fleeing the area. meet sally

she's five maybe six perhaps seven she doesn't know in this market the streets. surviving isis's see each of their disorder was no mean feat so many perished as a result of starvation sickness violence. if. sally is a survivor she a sister and brother were abandoned by their parents years ago they divorced and left the children to fend for themselves and family and. only share and home. now almost down the land she spends her days begging stealing playing and surviving no easy lot for them in this life. the sony went from home to home to live in the streets to beg for

money to stay alive and sajid a sick poor sally bags alone former neighbors who knew their family have taken pity on the kids and have looks out for them but it's not easy marcus now back up i wanted to take her in and she kept escaping that i sent people to look for her but she never stays in one place long shallow escapes. but there. are no. sally's sister all she has left since her brother died of starvation we found the older girl at the end of this gloomy bullet riddled cargill is a room with broken windows in it leaves a young girl with only flies bloodstain mattresses for company.

about a month ago sagitta who doesn't remember her age was brought in with a head injury when she fell she damaged an implant that siphons away the fluid different people tell different versions some say the full was accidental others attempted suicide but i'll but i but if fluids keep building there will be consequences she will lose her sight hearing and the ability to swallow much of the pressure on her bringing has grown. in hospital i don't know she'll find no cure indeed as order as we were filming a nice a shell landed just a few hundred meters away sagitta needs to get to damascus to survive but lacking identification relatives and trapped in a war zone it's difficult to see how that's possible. sagitta doesn't get many visitors but there is one vigil person who

always makes a smile that. bears. her . if left alone sagitta begins to scream and cry she needs people the story has spread and goods. barret institution is that imus for a woman once came to the hospital and heard the screaming she followed him found the girl since then she's been coming two or three times a day to care for her to wash or to feed her she never knew this girl bushra whose own daughter is disabled is not rich or middle class she's poor but a kind hearts goes a long long way now that are that are the end of everything my friend and i can do we will do for her as well dr of two hundred up to law everything are right up to

the moment when she stands up and can see that. there is cause for optimism side suffering has touched a chord action is being taken to get the girls out of bed as or but for now all they really have aside from promises them p.t. is each other or i guess the tea from their disorder syria. meanwhile just forty kilometers north of there is all the syrian army is steadily advancing against eisel they're chasing the terrorists out of the city of dean which is considered one of islamic states last strongholds in the province here is video that's been sent to us from the front line.

on. facebook is back criticism that it is failing to do enough to police fake news the company's security chief says the social media joins mustn't end up becoming an orwellian style ministry of truth for more on this we can cross live to aunty may recall a smear of why that is facebook back in the headlines well facebook has recently come under focus after releasing over three thousand ads that were allegedly purchased by russian actors during the two thousand and sixteen election totaling to about one hundred thousand dollars now the company is under pressure from all sides with politicians and media claiming that facebook hasn't done enough

to stop what they call an influence campaign to be useful to understand what. social media outlets are doing i was concerned at first that some of the social media platform companies did not take these threats seriously enough i believe they are recognizing that threat now they have provided us with information don't know the answer to this question but it's interesting to me are they a telecommunications platform or are they a news organization. now facebook itself has stated that the ads amount to almost nothing in terms of the total social media content but mark zuckerberg even explained that campaigns have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising about over a thousand times more than the ads in question but that didn't help to calm the storm facebook's facebook cyber security officer alex stamos took to twitter to

express his frustration in a passionate burst of tweeze tweets he addressed accusations that facebook hadn't done enough to police misinformation saying that journalists largely underestimate the ability to filter content for its bill billions of users and he also stressed that it would be naive to assume algorithms are entirely unbiased now his patients seem to have run out when he tweeted that there might be a way to battle fake news if you're not afraid to turn to turn facebook into the ministry of truth. so if you don't worry about becoming the ministry of truth with machine learning systems trained on your personal biases going to c.z. and now it's interesting to note that this type of twitter storm is highly illegal for a company like facebook which usually sticks to really seeing very restrained statements but as i've said social media giants are now writing reports and releasing

statements but without any evidence to substantiate any of their claims samir khan bring is the latest sloan from washington d.c. samir thank you. now the russian ministry of justice is will the number of u.s. run media outlets working in russia could be sanctioned this is after washington told this channel's the us we are to america. as a foreign agent let's get more on this story now from. he joins me in the studio. leave it to you to explain it sounds slightly like we're going down the road of tit for tat again but tell us more about the measures and what's happening and why you know good evening well this is just a notice as far as we understand the russian ministry of justice has sent out notices to several american news outlets in russia one of them confirmed it on their own here we are talking about facing restrictions and accordance to the

russian law on foreign agents we're talking about at least three outlets including radio free europe and also a video channel that is called current time sources within the russian justice ministry are saying that the russian authorities may come up with amendments to the law and that could and could lead to legal circumstances when these american news outlets will have to register as foreign agents now we understand that this is of course a retaliatory measure this is of course after the u.s. department of justice contacted the americas service supplier demanding it registers as a foreign agent in the u.s. that is in accordance to an american law which was drafted back and nine hundred thirty s. and was actually aimed to prevent the spread of nazi propaganda now this is a measure that could potentially really make the lives of our team america very difficult the branch of our channel there will have to for example notify the

authorities of personal details of its employees and provide the transcript of the interviews the russian foreign ministry has said before that they may be forced to react accordingly and our editor in chief margarita simonyan on has said that the channel has been under mounting pressure and the u.s. . dorn you don't know women till recently new active measures except those targeting our reputation have been taken against us in the us this effectively nowhere ousts have we ever experienced the kind of pressure that we experience today in the us to the point eventually being forced out of the country. ever since the allegations of russian interference in the us election. these sorry this channel has found itself under mounting pressure as i was saying back in january the us intelligence committee present in a report into alleged russian meddling and this report devoted seven pages toward

t. and it is supposed to all it's supposed influence on the public discourse accusing this channel of serving as a credible and propaganda tool and this issue with the foreign agents that now the russian ministry of justice is replying to as we can see something that perhaps makes us say that it's all been going downhill from there. for so many things i could say about this i'm not going to look at this thing let's just see what comes out in the war share many thanks for bringing us up to date. now if donald trump doesn't change his policy towards iran it will pose a great danger for your of this is according to germany's foreign minister. after the u.s. president hinted that he'd pull out of washington's nuclear deal with tehran that is a great danger for us because if the united states of america takes that course then

the world will change. correspondence proof an osha has more now on the recent german stones where we hear that germany not only fears that u.s. made his job from the red in agreement but it has also accused washington of quotation replacing the rule of law by the rule of the stronger as we've heard that from germany's foreign minister who has said that germany's and will be committed in two to the deal a supposed to stop iran from building its own nuclear bomb the accord that berlin helped negotiate adding that germany france and britain all together urge washington to give up the idea of pulling out otherwise the world will change the u.s. as we joe is at this point a very unlikely scenario donald trump the american president has been a vocal critic of the accord for a long time accusing iran of not fulfilling its obligations but this is the opinion that it seems europe is not quite cherry and. since we reached

a deal two years ago the international atomic energy agency has been monitoring the implementation of the deal including with inspections and it has certified iran's top clients eight times we have an interest and the responsibility a duty to preserve the nuclear deal with what happened in two thousand and fifteen when five countries russia france britain germany and china together with iran reached a deal to curb the country's nuclear program it was taken by many as a break for as a historic landmark agreement and this is why it's clear what many are suspecting us to pull out of the accord later this week frustration and fear is very high. hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of barcelona once and though to back the spanish unity and to denounce the council and government's push for independence rally comes amid speculation that cota lolis president may preclude.

in the region an independent state in an address to the regional parliament on tuesday is on the situation it is in barcelona for us was. was was the reach it was. but the ninety percent of those who came out to vote in favor waving spain the buy in of silver first also expects promises to be kept for the over eight hundred people injured on the day of the referendum the question of could it also have been for nothing is now live was

meanwhile madrid has made it clear it won't budge spain's prime minister mariano rajoy says he's not ruling anything out including suspending the region's autonomy and has vowed to take any measures necessary to prevent catalonians independence we are going to prevent independence from occurring that is why i can tell you with absolute frankness that it will not happen. it seems wrong to me now because he thinks so but because in a democracy the president must protect the people's right to choose our goal was to do as little damage as possible what happened was due to stubbornness and holding a referendum when they knew it was absolutely illegal it was very irresponsible of those who made that decision but over the last one year last year i think the government has behaved very severely and aggressively towards a kind of legitimate and democratic demand of catalan citizens is a battle for europe is a battle for european values and we have to win the national populism goes against european values. european i don't think so. because europe should give us more

support it doesn't seem to me that there's a battle going on between his governments and the who does not say anything that makes sense he does not listen he does not try to hold a dialogue and i do not understand why he is still in his post if he was receptive and humane person he would resign from behind these walls of the cat's land parliament that the next big steps for the region are expected to come from cattle and lead a carlist push demand promised action towards independence within forty eight hours of official referendum results but has avoided specifics since this week all eyes will be on what happens here next the council of europe has called on the spanish authorities to ensure an independent investigation into all allegations of police misconduct during the catalan referendum but spain's interior minister immediately hit back state security forces as per instructions from the dishes acted prudently proportionately and appropriately to guarantee respect for the law and the

protection of rights and freedoms of full citizens. the council of europe is a powerful human rights group but it's not connected to the e.u. brussels has failed to call for any probe into the new risk claims of police misconduct seen during voting or professor hector lopez both will says that the e.u. will back madrid no matter what you are not interested in. talking about human rights on the lawn and what's going on they would react if the polish government goes forward with. human rights we cannot forget. the kingdom office that's more than one trio of euros mostly european banks so by the moment european union countries are not interested in this clique of spin. that's why. by the moment the only

improvement that we hear from the council you were up. in its football team will apparently be accompanied by surveillance experts of the twenty eighteen world cup here in russia now according to a newspaper report the squad is concerned russia might plant bugs spawn that a major security detail will accompany the squad and it's not beyond the realms that they will have someone sweeping brooms beforehand the last thing the mainland wants is a leaky camp so everyone is able to be relaxed and just concentrate on the football earlier my colleague kate partridge discussed with the executive producer of r.t. stan collymore show why the three lions are expecting to step into the lion's den. they're afraid that there might be leaks out of the england camp but at the same time some anonymous source within the fail english squad is leaking this to the tabloids we believe these tabloids there will be

a team of surveillance experts making sure everything stays within the england camp and also this and name source says that basically the threat of global terrorism and potential threat of football hooligans is the same thing when it comes to russia nonetheless this is something that we've been seeing for a while it's not only just tabloids in england which are doing this but also bigger outlets more official outlets like the b.b.c. we all remember that documentary which came out recently basically just telling england fans that russia is hell and do not come here let's watch this. i'm going to russia to meet the hooligans who hold the fate of england fans in a. man who reject the negative image of the past to embrace a new identity. so if you think this is the first time you know and if you think it's only the english to do that no remember sochi olympics american broadcasters mainstream media m s n

b c had this to say had this warning to the fans going into sochi olympics literature russia can expect to be hacked. to browse for information about the sochi olympics almost immediately we were hacked so they were seriously suggesting that fans going to the such olympics and teams would be hacked we all remember how that panned out nobody was not a single count complained about this but you know it's typical ukraine poland the euros don't go there we'll come back in a body bags will remember that south africa same thing now it's russia but france can make up their own decisions and everybody saw how few weeks ago liverpool man united were in moscow how safe it was warm. very very safe one found very good all the way on the cheap everybody in the city and the hotel i think of the maids thing. a new police unit is to be

set up in the u.k. its main purpose will be to crack down on those who commit hate crimes online the british home secretary says that online hate must be more fully dealt with online hate crime is completely unacceptable what is illegal offline is illegal online and those who commit this covered the crimes should be met with the full force of the law. the new units will be run by police officers and it will have some two hundred thousand pounds allocated to its budget is made work will consist of assessing complaints from people who believe that they have encountered hate crimes online the critics say will threaten freedom of speech and discuss the issue with journalist martin summers and profile this chief executive officer group international it's all about balance we don't want to eliminate the ability for us to have as you are facilitating right now a healthy good solid debate we don't want to do that because they think that damage is so many things in our global community but we do need to put our arms around

hate speech just the sheer number of homicides i'm sorry suicides globally that's tied to hate speech alone is unprecedented in the last three years current globally so that's just one example i agree with the side that yes we don't want to eliminate the baby but to if in fact it is illegal offline it needs to be illegal online martin is it is it right to send people to prison for things that they've written online is it going too far to police away you know it's people people don't go get get sent to prison always for the it does sound sometimes a little cold shouldn't what it does i mean in some extreme cases it does but i mean the law the law went online or offline should be the same principals believe it should be some of it one of the problems online is people use limits. the kind of the nature of debates online is often very vituperative because you wouldn't say that to somebody you were sitting in a room with because you you know you that the body language would who would malign

it and people just allow themselves when they go online to sort of also really go of themselves and they say things that they wouldn't say to people's faces but i think that again we've got to actually be realistic and adults about this people are going to have strong opinions but they can't go around threatening groups of people or individuals because that's just not all. thanks stay with us you're watching on t. international don't forget you can always follow us on facebook we're on twitter and you can also check out more of our. website.
