so there's a. new york times that is her and her friend who allegedly works that you chew off court revealing the way mainstream and social media manipulate the news. very rare cases to. try to make up for the fact that something isn't in the terms but in those cases they. use somebody with intervention to make sure they're going. to. encourage the thing to be basically. while thousands of people rally across catalonia as spain launched its national holiday with the region's future in the air after its independence declaration was postponed. ati

films the legacy of islamic state in liberated areas of syria we go inside the terror group's former police station and prison and many innocent people lost their lives. because of the headlines coming to life marty international here in moscow and kate partridge thank you for joining us. and online investigation website has exposed potential collusion between the new york times and you chub video was leaked by project fairyhouse which is going to name for uncovering uncomfortable truths behind the media very rare cases. to try to make up for the fact that something isn't in the treatment of. well the man caught on hidden camera is believed to be ernest petty according to his linked in profile he's you choose brand and diversity

curation lead in the video he admits you cheap intervened to change trending videos very rare cases will. try to make up for the fact that something isn't in the truth and ok it's very real but in those cases the. use of the intervention to make sure that we. do. encourage the thing to be basically well put his friend as he is described in another part of the kit by project ferret house was also caught on camera saying he benefits from the relations of trust resort to something of a meeting for ages like your teachers out of i don't know it's just words but for security for. when they kill a student he is an audience strategy editor for the new york times he claims he has previously worked for the election campaigns of both hillary clinton and barack obama he calls himself a gate keeper for the top u.s. newspapers deciding what gets coverage what doesn't but there's

a bigger part of the date certain scenes what grows out doesn't go well let's say groups of people write a story that we've got you just a few basic. rights and that's the way you do all this is. what we requested a comment on the revelations from you tube but so far there's been no response while the new york times has already reacted in a statement the newspaper admitted dudek party violated their own ethics code but it also claims he exaggerated the influence he had of the outlets the communications director at project veritas steven gordon believes so-called gate keeping by social media is a big concern. certain political entities certain media entities rise to the top of the pecking order there is collusion between the social media networks and the major media outlets what we did was we caught it we caught them admitting it would caught them being candid on undercover video admitting what most

people what most americans are what most people around the world strongly suspect was the case anyway but just couldn't prove we've just proved that. mr dudek kind of the star of these first two videos and was pretty clear about having worked for two presidential campaigns and wanted to continue his mission working for the new york times i mean he was pretty clear about it there's no ambiguity in his words and what's interesting is in the new york times statement they didn't rebut the accuracy of what we said we kind of suspected that if they well here's a low level guy but they did they said he's a junior player but they didn't rebut the accuracy of what we put out they're just making excuses. for one of the worst the seats the mainstream media does an album major social media does is gate keeping it's a role it's not necessary stopping most depressing story lines that they don't want to hear don't want you to hear so they can bump up their narrative to the top of

the list and most people trust as these major internet companies are growing and maturing and becoming almost monopolistic they've got the ability to do a lot more than they used to in the startup days of the internet and so they're clued in they're in bed with the new york in this case you tube and the new york times are in bed and we're in new york and new york times and you tube are in bed the bastard child of that relationship is fake news. and the new york times is also at the center of a lot of story previously claimed antivirus software produced by the russian based company cusp asking how being used by moscow to spy on the u.s. however an investigation by germany cyber security agency says there's no evidence . the remote plans to warn against the use of conspiracy products is we have no evidence of misconduct by the company this is in itself. well for more details on this more if an ocean and joins me live from burn most of them ashes so

what's the background to this story well it seems that the story behind has more questions than answers it indeed started with the new york times reporting that the so-called russian hacker is that apparently the paper believed to have several connections with the russian government have been using kaspersky software to get classified information from foreign security and intelligence agencies including americans and as a the paper claims that this information is coming from israel's officials that shared this a with it and as a the n.s.a. denied to give any comment say eight would violate the company's policy so it's all very unclear exactly what is this information coming from there is no evidence and no word from so far from n.s.a. so far germany's federal cyber agency had made it clear they had found no

evidence to back these media reports and we say reports because after the new york times article was published a lot of media picked up the story with rather catchy very loud headlines like russia turn kaspersky software into to force pieing we have a comment from kaspersky a laboratory saying these accusations are groundless let's take a listen kaspersky lab has never held its nor will help any government in the world with cyber espionage efforts. well chris parrish the private held russia based company has been repeatedly accused of being involved in particular spying activity since two thousand and fifteen but it's interesting that we haven't heard about any solid evidence of that but that we still keep on hearing such accusations but the development is a german it is a cyber agency found no evidence to that but i guess it's not for the last time

that we hear about that. well the way is to be seen maria for national in berlin thank you very much indeed thank you. now thousands of people are protesting across catalonia on spain's national day as the impasse over the region's future continues the spanish prime minister has set a monday deadline for the council on president to decide whether or not the region has adopted a declaration of independence has are to use an assessor check it out in barcelona . because the iconic sensual must clarify or slow enough plus a cut to libya right now and it's a sea of clouds filling this hall where fans are joining streets that are around here thousands of people if you can see covered marching from that direction towards this where they're still continuing to come in here carrying spanish flags carrying our flags. not as together this is not the unique seat for the

task where all of these people are coming out to speak in support of the things that's loaded with in spain as this major crisis could chaney's to grip the country and the region this is what people here have been telling us. feel about this that all their oldest boy you know i think we should have talked it over i don't know whether they were permitted to do so but maybe it would have been best to bring in new people and let the old ones go. if we want spain in catalonia together we've lived here for fifteen years we've got married had children have grandchildren we want spanish catalonia together that's all we want to get in the you have to fly. for me to get out of that on your space you go zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero the forty year rep for strange the for what he's about the for the law you know the no you should stay with spain for sure but i think that the government should take the stand for the people to get to know what what we

actually want or what those who don't have people want but i don't want to be. are they going to stay down there a president of the year to be house by only to the low hanging fruit assume the consequences. well it's a national day of spanking here so the moves are quite celebratory however for these people here that question fix it you should let the politics of what is going to be happening to that region because this is such an uncertain time this stuff faces a look at the making of course as this region has been demanding independence was such a long time that the first became the start of the final highly anticipated result of that is ninety percent of the people who came up to vote did in fact support leaving however the about seven levels i'm sure really make it not clear whether or not the scottish people are going to be eventually fights cuts alone or not sound.

right. until monday night either that's a lot of times actually toxic lead in the party to. come out on tuesday and make statements that could. be allowed. to expire. for several nights a week not discuss details with the dreaded prime minister nouri honorable was made it quite clear that the deadline he was giving to the cats leadership is this monday it's one hour whether there are four hours because so far they're saying the only thing they see is the show let's take a listen but i go to you for a moment are we going to require that all time governments to confirm if it has declared the independence of god learned in part from the early bird confusing marines it's regarding the expenditure on something to get it over so obviously developments are grappling quite rapidly your cats and the people in the past and i

don't think that's the region so much but you have to keep in mind that so many people. the supporting. cast yes that's right unlikely they're going to lose interest in the issue of independence clearly despite this political crisis that they're gripped him because so many people voted on the it's over first referendum and this is going to be a shoe that's been so important for this region for decades so certainly the prices here continues and it's going to really be up to you know whether or not barcelona and madrid are going to be able to work something out and negotiate or whether this is going to continue to be a chess game that leads to nothing. more pro unity protesters could be seen and bracing local council and police some have expressed surprise noting that many regional offices have come out against unity and for catalonia secession it also follows widespread allegations of police brutality by national police and civil goes on voting day well the government says ninety percent of voters chose to break

away from spain in the referendum on october the first but it's far from the only region with its fate hanging in the balance. catalans are holding their breath after the drama of their referendum will they end up sticking with spain after all really go it alone because. i winning a referendum hasn't always brought about the desired goal let's look at a couple of cases first up the greek bailout referendum in two thousand and fifteen prime minister alexis tsipras promised a no vote would mean an end to e.u. and i.m.f. imposed a stereotypic. a cooling on you to support this negotiation and calling on you to say no to this recipe of memorandums that's destroying europe. when an overwhelming no to a stereotype was returned suppressed caved in to the troika anyway it was i'm

telling you right here that i take full responsibility for mistakes as well as the signing an agreement that i do not believe in however i'm obliged to implement it next up because this struggle for independence the self-proclaimed region and move in iraq has been raring to go certainly for years now citing tensions with baghdad we choose to live together with baghdad willingly if they don't want us to be their partners we refuse to be their servants and last month emboldened by months of propelling islamic states from iraq the territories the region held an independence referendum almost ninety three percent voted in favor of going it alone. for now this is a new era for the kurdish people it is a turning point and we have to use it and this is a big victory for the kurdish people that was almost two weeks ago and since then silence within the same silence to fall on canceling awakes to the sea.

that coming up after the break we'll explain how the case times newspaper claims british politicians are doing. if on employee artist types who can't get jobs some of them turn out to be reno defining our site guy through the vision that they present and they end up in some weird crack ridden drug house like east berlin or the lower east side of manhattan or so how it meant and then this attracts the buyers of the big money and the gallery and then that attracts the house flies in the suburbs and then that it's tax the property speculators and then they push the artists out. what hope to do something. to put themselves on the line to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be present. want. to going to be pretty much what before three of them or can't be good. interested always in the water. now welcome back in the u.k. the times newspaper claims british politicians are doing the kremlin's bidding by participating in o.t.s. programs it names prominent lawmakers who appeared on such shows as going underground and news thing he gives the precise number of their appearances and the fees reportedly paid to them well times also claims it's part of the kremlin's attempt to extend its reach within british politics has been taking

a closer look. this is one of britain's most read newspapers and one of the leading edge a tauriel in the london times today happens to be all about this place r.t. it's called helping parents in and it names and shames all the politicians that appear on the channel it's not although there's another article that elaborates on can sons about the extent of kremlin influence here in westminster and whereas talking to the media is normally considered an expression of freedom of speech here in the u.k. these articles appear to suggest that the politicians talking to r.t. are greedy and even treacherous well to talk about this more i'm going to gate crash the studio going underground host afshin rattansi hey ashton you talk to quite a few of the politician. in this article do you think that

it's a fair assessment and why do they come on your show really short of journalism isn't it the murdoch times i mean to my knowledge they haven't gone to r.t. for call with let alone going underground which is named jake in this story m.p.'s politicians from all around the world from all policies in britain come on going underground because they can they know they will look at issues in depth and allow them to actually speak in action one of the articles here lists a lot of the labor m.p.'s that came on the show and on the news channel and a select few of the conservative ones can you explain that to an international audience well i think obviously labor politicians have been on this show but conservative ones from other smaller parties i think this obviously indicates the murdoch line here they're trying to somehow attack media that is. funded by the

russian government by saying it is allied to jeremy corbyn the channel has been attacked in the past but does this feel like a whole new level this naming and shaming of politicians do you think it can be hard if you to get guests on the show as a result i think strangely it's been an uphill battle right at the beginning it was tough but actually i think more and more politicians are becoming used to the idea of a dirty u.k. is here to stay and it's going to allow politicians to speak about real issues not about the sound bite culture of celebrity and all the rest of it that british view is used here in this country. well the russian embassy in london responded on twitter said by questioning the logic behind the article it pondered if russian politicians appearing on the b.b.c. there for help the british prime minister. and social media giants are feeling the heat again this time also in the u.k. bush m.p.'s want the likes of facebook and google to be classified as media outlets

meaning they'd be subjected to greater regulation but let's raise concerns about freedom of speech we had two different viewpoints on this issue the whole idea of risk completely ludicrous it's even who are football it is of course a gross intrusion to freedom of speech but more significantly frankly it's completely unworkable it could be different on freedom of speech but the problem moment is the nobody is accountable to the social media platforms aren't accountable and there's no way of holding those who post or kerry could be your cow in bridgeville you know who are you you know where are you i think there's been an incredible excesses and i'm facebook and google have an awful lot of for but that's not all they all are i have a twitter account or i retreat article things i've read of interest and significant

twenty times a day seven. every single one of those has a publication under what this person is saying it is simply impractical they could do it who on earth is going to monitor it how it's going to be done it won't work can't work and it shouldn't work when you're writing stuff you can do you know you can sometimes get a little bit carried away and you can be a lot more harsh than you would be face to face and this is exactly what the government is saying that you shouldn't be putting stuff all social media which you couldn't say face to face to somebody and that's sort of pretty fundamental principle a thing to be problems or governments talking about a code of conduct and it's singled out a religious aspects of the bt community and you know my antenna rise a little bit because if you're not going to be able to do that code to say anything negative about homosexuality or anything negative about islam then that is an infringement on freedom of speech which just slike you people off all posting fake

news you must must be must be accountable i quite accept and quite agree that facebook and google should be doing far more to clean up their own but that all those freedom of speech issues what is your definition of what is terrorist material verses controversial political opinion. now to syria where the battle against i.c.l. continues in the eastern province of bures or r.t. has been traveling with the syrian army to get first hand experience from the front line. isis is making it. is one of the jihad ists briefly showing himself while spraying away on full auto. well following the liberation of the syrian army is now advancing on myself positions to the northwest however years of islamic state control have caused wide

scale damage to the village auntie's what as again has witnessed the legacy left on the terrorists liberating this village was just part of the job holding it is another. day and night the syrian army and the isis at its edges in the meantime fresh forces pouring in preparation for the next push against the jihad ists still there's more to it had taken less than two days ago after an isis occupation that lasted years and left its mark everywhere these small village even hosted an isis prison and police department. isis doled out that brand of justice offenses like owning a sim card being a syrian government worker or an infidel carried the death penalty.

if these id cards are no longer alive islamic state had almost everything it's own government ministries police courts even had their own currency and stamp these coins quickly going out of circulation and becoming collector's items many people are eager to get their hands on these. currency. is a form of control with that i says restricted trade to within the caliph that taxes had to be paid to and if he couldn't pay the money you paid in goods are. you. sure. that. there are american. soldiers was still sweeping hatta looking for isis hideaways and bombs most had

been cleared when we got that but not all there weren't that many booby traps and those they left seemed crude hastily made uncharacteristic of isis suggesting that perhaps isis the north expect to lose had so quick to. come up. with the. more i guess. from that as on syria. well for more on days and other stories. otherwise i'll be back in just over half an hour at the latest headlines seem to. apply for many flips over the years so i know the game and so i gots. football

isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager killian erroneous and spending two to twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else on the because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy was great so what chance with. the base is going to. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's pull on. the only show i go out of my way to the times you know really what it is that really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than that and see people you never heard of love jack tonight president of the world thank. you for

a seriously send us an e-mail. greetings and cell you tell us we begin today our watchers with new rules of one of the biggest takedowns of online child pornography and abuse in recent history all thanks to the good work of australian police unit task force argos their operation

centers on a dark web child exploitation form called child's play which acted as an online underground meeting place for thousands upon thousands of pedophiles and child pornographers to not only peddle their heinous wares but also among other things discuss the best ways to not get caught by authorities. the site was created back in april of two thousand and sixteen and according to reports attract more than one million registered users by the time of its demise this last september speaking to reporters taskforce argos commander inspector jon rouse explained our team and units like others across the world are singularity focused on stopping the sexual abuse of children and we will continue to work together to infiltrate disrupt and dismantle child sex offender networks like this one and while i don't think anyone with a conscience could possibly argue against that mission it's the tactics that the australian task force use that are raising eyebrows especially of those directly

affected by these most horrible terrible crimes you see the norwegian newspaper b.g. has uncovered that australian police in their efforts to take down the abusers actually took over and ran the child's play site for almost an entire year that's right in their efforts to bust traffickers of child pornography the australian police essentially became traffickers themselves by allowing for four members of the sharon upload numerous images and videos of child abuse and rape this of course begs the very very important question for not just australian citizens but for citizens all around the world just how far is too far should we allow our law enforcement members to become devils themselves in order to catch the devils they pursue. let's ask that question and start watching the hawks.
