i. fascism erupt in barcelona as council and on t.v. independence activists you spain's a national holiday to express their opposition to a break with madrid some go as far as burning independence movement. and people watching r.t. international commentary live from moscow with the latest headlines i'm sure i will start with that breaking news story the u.s. state department has announced that the country is withdrawing from you know sco un's educational scientific and cultural when i say sion one of the main reasons cited by the state department is concerned the unesco's alleged anti israel bias on the organization is mounting a rias six years ago member states voted to accept the state of palestine into

unesco a move that angered israel and its u.s. ally. well you know eskimos director general says she's upset by america's decision adding that it was a loss for the united nations family and multilateralism the u.s. is expected to finish the posters of us the withdrawal by december thirty first. well you know sco is a u.n. cultural agency that was founded with the help of the united states back in one nine hundred forty five it works to ensure that people around the world have basic human rights and enjoy full freedom of expression where u.s. goes mission is to contribute to global peace the eradication of poverty sustainable development and into actual dialogue through education culture medication and information.

now an online investigation website has exposed potential collusion between the new york times and you tube video was made by project veritas which has gained a name for uncovering uncomfortable truths behind the media very very few since. trying to make up for the fact that something isn't in the truth and. well the man caught on hidden camera is believed to be ernest petty according to his linked in profile he is you choose brand diversity curation lead in the video he admits you change sometimes intervenes to change trending videos very rare cases will. try to make up for the fact that something isn't in the trunk ok it's very rare but in those cases they. use separate intervention to make sure that they. do. encourage the thing to be basically or petty's friend as he is described in another part of the clip by project veritas was also caught on camera saying he benefits

from their relationship even trust it's like something out of a you do for a page like your teachers out of i really don't know it's just words but for the security problem right. well nicholas student is an audience structure g. editor for the new york times he claims he's previously worked for the election campaigns of both hillary clinton and barack obama he calls himself a gate keeper for the top u.s. newspaper deciding what gets coverage and what doesn't. it or i mean do you start to see what goes out doesn't go out and looks great something great a story that we get you just a few days. right sure that's the way you do what is a story well we requested a comment on the revelations from you cheap but so far there's been no response while the new york times has already reacted in the statements the newspaper

admitted dudek apparently violated their own ethics code but he also claims he exaggerated the influence he had on the outfit well let's discuss this with david covert a member of the european parliament for the u.k. independence party david thank you very much indeed for waiting and for joining us now i mean let's have a look at these revelations i mean how damning ji think they are. why the luis treme damning and it just goes to show president trump we all made fun of him because he said it was fake news well it looks like your phone to the his fake news and there was collusion between the the new york times and as far as is concerned and and also the you know the new communities of the social media here in this is a rages and and there's always been a feeling i was feeling the news of been manipulated one of the reasons i like doing things to russia today is because russia today seemed to be giving people more fair crack of the whip than the many of the other charles i think russia today

suffered from mrs self what do you think then that they are always being naive to think that this kind of manipulation is something new or is it something that's always existed in so now starting to come to light. well i think it's always existed obviously the similar people moving between the worlds of journalism and the with the social media world obviously there's going to be connections and there's going to be over soon establishment want to get its tentacles into into social media so it's only natural conclusion there are people who think that social media is pure that it's the untouched well i'm afraid it isn't charging do you think then that the idea that's been mooted now in the u.k. that perhaps social media should be placed under control in some form either they becomes a meteor outlet so they can be regulated do you think that that would help or do you think we would literally be swapping one gatekeeper for another. you know

swapping on gatekeeper for another i mean i'm a libertarian i i don't like anything being regulated quite frankly i think the market should regulate itself but you know looking at the sort of things are going on i think we should be alert to to the sort of news manipulation and present trump has made this very clear knowledge of faraj has made this very clear you can't have suffered from this r.t. have suffered from it many many. political parties who are not the absolutely mainstream establishment suffer from this and i think we have to keep a very very very eager eye on what's going on and then that we will see it happening but you know it's this is a fabulous revelation it just it just proves the present trump has been saying has been true and funny as a defender saw seem to think that these revelations will have much of an impact on the giant like you tube. so i think it will obviously it's an

embarrassment people are going to to realize that the you tube isn't perfect then you realize a new york times aren't perfect you know that we have to watch them we have to just not take what they say at face value it's very important people think for themselves. as another example things appear and we compete or people treat it as as as gospel well it isn't and i had to correct some mistakes they made on me or on on wikipedia i change them several times and they ban me for it so they don't like things being corrected well i'm sorry i'm not going to take my news from other people i think the one good thing about the internet is we can make our own news and i think that's been a big advantage but we mustn't let the big boys try to control the international. media that is important we keep control over herself. and i said if you look at your page now we keep a member of parliament the u.k. thank you very much thank you. well meanwhile the new york times is at the center

of another story it had previously claimed antivirus software produced by the russian based company cast first had been used by moscow to spy on the u.s. however an investigation by germany's cyber security agency says there's no evidence. to warn against the use of conspiracy products since we have no evidence of misconduct by the company this is in itself it seems that the story behind has more questions than answers it all started with the new york times reporting that the so-called russian hackers that the parent of the paper believes have connections with the russian government had been using kaspersky a lot of software to get classified information from of the foreign intelligence and security agencies and kloden americas and as a national security agency the paper claims this information is coming from israel's officials who shared it with n.s.a. the n.s.a. the south refused to give any comment say they just would violate policy leaving

all these quite clear well german is cyber security agency has been quick to claim that no evidence had been found to back these media reports i would say reports because shortly after the new york times article was published a lot of media picked up the story with quite catchy headlines like russia turned kaspersky lab software into a tool for spying because personal ads has called these allegations groundless kaspersky has never held will help any government in the world would sign the espionage yes it's private held russia based kaspersky lab has been repeatedly accused of being involved in certain spike in the last two years eight has been always denying all accusations and all allegations but we still hear and them just recently washington has fun as far as going as far as banning all federal

departments and agencies from using kaspersky services and now we have germany on the side of kaspersky say no evidence had been found to prove any involvement by the company any spying activity but given the. developed and send the recent dynamic wicking say that they saw gore is far from over and we can hear mall allegations in the future. now thousands of people are protesting across catalonia on spain's national day as the impasse over the region's future intensifies tensions are high with clashes between pro and anti independence activists. i was. thinking i was. was. cool spain's prime minister has such

a monday deadline for the council on president to decide whether or not the region has adopted a declaration of independence honest us it took in a report from barcelona. because of the iconic sensual must clarify some of the plaza cuts a lumia right now and it's a scene of clouds filling this whole square and 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 probably be carrying the spanish was carrying all flags was not as together this is not true you can see protests all of these people are coming out to speak in support of keeping taxes low there within spain as this major crisis continues to grip the country and the region this is what people here have been telling us we believed here for fifteen

years we've got married had children have grandchildren we want spanish catalonia together that's all we want you to know that you have to fly. for these to get out . you go zero zero zero zero zero though you should stay with spain for sure but i think the. government should take these then for the gods or their own people to get to know what we actually want or one those are the only people one president of the lawyer really has violated the law you should assume because it was the right thing it was. until monday to either that's a load of was actually in fact it cleared and. god come out on tuesday and make a statement that there. was. no sign of this for several days. then discuss details with the train while the

spanish prime minister mariano rajoy has made it quite clear that the deadline he's giving to the cats leadership is this monday to announce whether in or out because so far they're saying the only thing they see is confusion let's take a listen to that council on president has to confirm whether any of the authorities proclaimed independence have got the lawn here or whether his speech held on tenth of october include a declaration of independence it's a simple question if the answer is positive or there is no answer at all we will demand mr president to revoke the independence to gratian so obviously developments on rattling quite rapidly here in catalonia for these people the question is i don't think john wants region to leave the country but we have to keep in mind that so many people have been supporting independence and that's why it's quite unlikely they're going to lose interest should independence clearly despite this political crisis that they're gripped him because so many people voted on the couple's first

referendum and this is going to issue that's been so important for this region for decades. of pro unity protesters can be seen embracing local catalan police the scenes have surprised some as many regional officers came out against unity with spain during the referendum some catalan police trying to prevent the civil guard from using excessive force against photos. well the same time some apostle over this holiday groups express their opposition to independence more aggressively they burned independence movement flags and marched through the city this last. now as a battle against iso rages in syria r.t. has first hand experience from the front line that story after the break.

we're going to walk still of you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they're going. to do socks for the tell you that they'll be gossiping probably by fell. off the back or telling me you are not cool enough to buy their product. these are the hawks that we all have our on. walking. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want. to be right. this is what the three of them want to get. interested

always in the water. welcome back and let's resume with a recap of our breaking news the u.s. state department has announced that the country is withdrawing from u. nescafe the un's educational scientific and cultural organization well let's get some reaction to that now from i mean already seen yet chorused columnist for israel's hot it's newspaper thank you very much indeed for joining us and i the c.v. so that this look at the consequences i mean what do you think the u.s. withdrawal will mean for the organization and also for the international community . well as you know the u.n. in general and unesco in particular are

a favorite bugman for some americans especially in the current administration but when the state department issued its release earlier today it gave three reasons for the droll which is intended for there to be a serious december thirty first in fact the first reason is that the agency owes money today not that say it's always in the rear the other one is that some reforms are needed on. actually in all the the third one has to do with what the state department called anti-bias anti israeli bias so it seems as if it is a very comfortable excuse for the state department trying to hide behind the backs of pro israeli supporters in the united states i mean as you're explaining they're very much i mean you know sky's alleged anti israel bias as they're saying they

saying is the main claim is you said it's one of three but want grounds doesn't have a thinking that it's anti israeli there have been several result. which contended. israeli or more accurately jewish version of the status of jerusalem and one can indeed quarrel with the question of whether it's cultural religious political down many many layers to jerusalem of course but israel considers unesco to be anti israel and therefore when the united states wants to show that it is pro israel it becomes and to unesco. let's have a look at the sort of the bigger picture in that sense and the arguments over palestine's membership i mean that was approved by a majority of states which so is that not international consensus and therefore not

bias. yes. dnd it wasn't a general consensus because israel managed to get several states along its own position but yes the majority did not support israel's position and palestine is also a member of interpol and de i.a.e.a. so do seems to be a moot question and on the very day when fatah and hamas and mount their reconsideration and there appears to be some pope. of the peace process it's unfortunate that the united states. decided to come out. and palestinian in a way because its broader israeli statement did i think we'll leave it at that i mean or and senior correspondent and congress behind it thank you very much indeed

for your thoughts thank you. and let's move on to say we are now and as the battle against isolated areas or province continues r.t.d. 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 just briefly showing himself while spraying away on full auto. well the syrian army is now advancing on iso positions to the north west following the liberation of however years of islamic state control have cost wide scale damage to that village what i'd guess they have has witnessed the legacy left by the terrorists liberating this village was just part of the job holding it is another. day and night the syrian army and the isis skirmish 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 a nicest prison and police department. isis don't doubt their own brand of justice offenses like owning a sim card being a syrian government worker or an infidel carried the death penalty. many of the these id cards no longer live in 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 it i says restricted trade to within that calaf that taxes had to be paid to and if you couldn't pay the money you paid in goods or. there are there are. soldiers was still sweeping hatta looking for isis hideaways and bombs most had been cleared when we got there but not all there weren't that many booby traps and those they left seemed crude and hastily made uncharacteristic of isis suggesting that perhaps isis the north expect to lose hadleigh so quickly

more of guys deal. from there is on syria. greenpeace activists have exposed a major security failing in four long south to breaking into a nuclear power station and setting off fireworks. i was. fifteen greenpeace activists gained access to this nuclear power station in the eastern part of fronts early on thursday morning fifteen activists gained access to the site climbing a fence and then were able to unfurl a band there and to light fireworks they say at the bottom of the spent fuel pools this is where the radioactive material once it's being used is stored they say this was about highlighting those security concerns been rehabilitated or security around francis nuclear power stations and that's because this week the campaigning

organization actually launched a report in which it had information collated information from a number of international experts about some of the security risks that were posed to these nuclear power stations in france now that report highlighted things such as concerns over security shortcomings and said that france's reactors mainly have been built before the modern types of terrorism that the country now faces such as those attacks from groups such as isis or al qaida which is the company which looks after this particular site in france has responded and said that this incident was dealt with within minutes the police were on the scene and it says that the greenpeace activists did not gain any access to any nuclear areas and this is promoted a lot of criticism for both sides here in france some people saying that this action was completely irresponsible when france has been subjected to

a number of terrorist attacks over the last few years and then other people questioning the security at this site saying that even the boss of e.d.f. some people calling that he should be sacked and that there is a huge concern over the security of their sites now this. comes because france is one of the most nuclearized countries in the world seventy five percent of french elektra's city is generated from nuclear power plants this is a main source of energy here in the country and the country has fifty eight react is basically my life used to be a lot of security very cool site that could be at least. more for war on always on the other stories go to o.t. dot com meanwhile i'll be back in just over half an hour with the latest headlines from you than.
