over of our two year marriage. we are apparently better than. the sea people you never heard of love right down to the next president of the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail. breaking news this hour russia vetoed a u.n. resolution on an investigation into the use of chemical weapons in syria as moscow waits for a new report on an attack in the country also to be singled out over the use of social media to spread content while outlets chief executive for appearing on the channel back in twenty thirty and once the destination of choice for asylum seekers germany has launched a myth busting website to deter potential new iraq. but

i welcome you watching r.t. international will start with breaking news to you because russia has vetoed a u.n. security council resolution to perch on the mandate of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons to investigate chemical attacks in syria you can extend the mandate at the gym a few days before the publication of the report on the twenty six even though there is no urgent need for the gym will be operating until seventeen that november and no nothing prevents adopting a decision. before that date so why today what is the haste there isn't don't don't you think it's strange. that was the russian ambassador to the u.n. there we can get more details from our kind of mark and he joins us now from new york what more then do we know about this. well that was russia using their power as

a permanent member of the united nations security council the fifteen member body that leads the united nations and they defeated this resolution using their veto power now this resolution would have extended the investigation but as you just heard russia's embassador to the u.n. says why don't we wait until the investigators reveal their report reveal the information what they've done so far and at that point after having heard what they've done so far and how the investigation has gone at that point they can have a conversation about whether or not to extend the mandate now when the voting was taken out both russia and bolivia voted against the resolution china and kazakstan abstained and then russia's veto power was implemented and the resolution was defeated now this is the o.p.c. w. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and they're investigating the attack that took place back in april in the city of qom shaikh kuhn now in the past russia has been critical of the o.p.c. w.

investigation pointing out that at no point have o.p.c. investigators actually visited the site of the attack and furthermore they haven't visited the air base that was attacked by the united states the air base that u.s. leaders said was the place in which the chemical attack took place now in this chemical attack according to the report from the o.p.c. w. at least seventy people were killed many others injured and the the weapon that was used is reported to have been sarin nerve gas but other than that we haven't heard but we will be hearing from the o.p.c. debby in a few days russia russia has vetoed this resolution but said that after a presentation is given from the o.p.c. w. about what they have found so far and they're investigating at that point russia will be open to extending the mandate. a few days before. publication of the report the jim a resolution is her is rushed to extend it by a year before that

a powerful campaign in the media is launched. ambassador healey gave an interview in which she clearly cues dresher of trying to undermine and torpedo the work of the gym she sends a letter to letter to the members of the security council speaking about the urgency of extending the mechanism so we the world is now waiting for more information and we know the o.p.c. debbie will be presenting the results of their findings and their investigation very shortly people be waiting to see what they present at that time in russia will be open to continuing the investigation according to their ambassador after the findings are presented. thanks kind of that was that kind of thing for us there in new he'll. i mean controversial civil rescue group of white helmets claims to save more lives in syria this time on the outskirts of the capital damascus which came on the rocket fire the questions are imaginary but the groups in the cities

and the states in the country as you report. this is the newest you tube video of the syria civil defense group aka the white helmets they're saving lives after a rocket attack on a residential area just to the east of damascus so says the description i'm not trying to say they've been doing a bad job at rescuing but there are things that can destroy a reputation even if it's been built on saving lives social networks will show. how to look at the page of some a wearing a white helmet and his profile pic just hottest for the sake of god how's that for a facebook job field moving on to posted images this is the leader of jaish to.

pay your attention to what the hash tag stands for j. shelf attack who represents me and my family and then smiley face feeling grateful the. next profile with white helmets emblems and a bun but here's something else remember how russia's ambassador in turkey was shot in the back and killed right in front of an exit vision audience if you go back to the post from december two thousand and sixteen on that profile and find the picture of the gunmen followed by. to your soul champ. civil defense says this man's job description no worries till you get to the photo section with this pic and the text right next to it is smile as praising

a member of eisel after his death you wished and you got what you wished for and you won with god's willing just some of what he wrote there and there's a couple of photos of his smile you featuring terrorist symbols and actual faces all who are written over an older flag of all new straw in syria and terrorist fighters themselves i also remember the video i saw somewhere else. speaking of the white helmet some time spotted together with nusra even an al jazeera documentary telling the brave story of the serious civil defense can make you suspicious of how close the helmets could get to the jihad is why would activists keep the nusra front flag at a place where they rest and i've got a question to ask whoever edited the subtitles of that film at al-jazeera would

come of the show. but. as i've said the reputation means a lot and nobel peace prize nomination and an oscar winning film have certainly helped cement it but it seems there is more to bear in mind for whoever next decides to award the white helmets with the prize. now the syrian city of rock recently liberated from islamic state was once home to around three hundred thousand people but after months of military operations that by the us backed forces less than one percent of its original population remain and those who have been left behind as. an ice reform a defacto capital. only . time i've been through with my maybe.

there was no doubt it was. the ability to. check. chief business office being scrutinized by the media even his appearance on this channel four years ago still has been accused of having a cozy relationship with a string of online presence i spoke to a little. when it would appear that the new york times has been sifting through its archives and is earmarked the year twenty thirty now you might remember that twenty

thirty was a pretty good year for r.t. that was the year that we became the first news network to surpass one billion views our new cheap and so we decided to mark the occasion we invited a guest in from you tube in that happened to be robert kinsler was the vice president at the time i think users generally appreciate its authenticity it's very apparent from everything that's going on on you tube so instead of having aspirational programming or agenda propagandise people really respond to it what you saw happening with arab spring for instance was authentic the audience that watches this some to study and those who provide it to them are four years later and r.t. is the most watched news network on you tube we now have over five billion views but to some people are success is very suspicious and so the fact the new york times decided to single out private kinsler peers to be an attempt to name and shame him for ever apparent on r.t. but this isn't the first time we've seen this done to the u.k.

foreign secretary boris johnson not so long ago shaming members of the opposition party for appearing as guests on r.t. despite the fact that even members of his own party and even his own father have also appeared as guests on some of our t.v. shows and then there's a european think tank going to all the trouble to make a list of every single person who's ever appeared on r.t. and branding them useful idiots many people in europe and the us including politicians and the persons of influence continue to exhibit its troubling naivety about artie's political agenda these useful idiots remain oblivious to r.t.s. intentions and boost its legitimacy by granting interviews on the shows and news casts and i'm sorry to say that all the effort that went into that list it wasn't even factually correct was i remember something about boris johnson. so generally speaking where is all this pressure on russia coming from when all this stems from these. unproven accusations that r.t. played a hand in swaying the american vote we somehow managed to convince american people

to vote for donald trump over hillary clinton and as a result just last month the u.s. justice department demanded that our us based channel r.t. america register under the foreign agents act and after which moscow has said it just simply can't will not attack measures anymore as r.t. faces all of this increasing pressure we've chosen to deal with it in the best way that we can and we've come up with a new ad campaign in which we thought people would find it amusing and ironic we make light of these accusations we say tune in to find out who we're going to hack next but quite predictably even our sense of humor has come under scrutiny. to discuss this a bit further to you and i did you choose an m.e.p. from the u.k. independence party good evening welcome as you probably know we've come in for a lot of stick recently what you make of these latest accusations by the new york times the fact that we only get a lot of popularity on you tube because we have

a cozy relationship with an executive who works there. well the points of the matter is the now adays communications is a global industry and everybody has a choice you can watch artsy you can watch c.n.n. you can watch the b.b.c. from anywhere in the world if you happen to be put now stuff that people want to see ten people are going to watch it it doesn't matter who you all or who supports you c.n.n. is no wailed why it now was the clinton news network the b.b.c. is the voice of the remaining as far as brics is concerned russia today it's what it says on that saying you know you are backed by russia people take that into account these are the new york times and people like the regime and people idiots people discounts a certain amounts of what every news channel says because they all of the individual viewpoints like a newspaper the daily mirror has

a different viewpoint the daily telegraph in the united kingdom frankly to expect anything else is just silly i mean it in find so us as people well i mean that citizen in the news industry you know and you know from being a politician to there are all sorts of opinions so why do you think that the new york times feels it necessary to sort of this r.t. particularly in this instance. well i think it's because of a difference in your. your perception of the american political scene you know c.n.n. and all of the major outlets in the us or most of the other major outlets in the u.s. we're very very more in favor of the democrats and hillary clinton artsy in my opinion was more favorable towards president trump and so they're all to get you it's

always the same. i mean you keep m.e.p.a. i know what it's like when the meat is out so you get your sense there's been a sort of coordinated attack an article recently i only say that because you know we saw an article in the times newspaper from the u.k. then we saw boris johnson the foreign secretary for britain stand up in the commons and slag off r.t. now we're getting this article in the new york times everything seems to come up once doesn't it. well you know it's stocks chasing after a ball that's all it is one of them seen some turn. and the fact of the matter is all people know where to get the news they can choose any way they like it's not how it was back in the one nine hundred sixty s. where in the u.k. we had two channels now there's a multiplicity of channels you know they can go to al-jazeera if they want the fact is it seems that all at sea

a giving some form of. news that people like and so people are consuming if they didn't like they're not forced so what they can go on what c.n.n. they can read the n.y.t. online if they so choose. i've got to say whenever i've appeared on r.c.l. and i have several times you know i never have a problem you're welcome to ask me any questions you like. and i answer in whatever way i like that's how the media is now ok and i have to and hopefully over the last couple of minutes right we have to leave it there finance niceto see that was ray finch and we pay from the plug thank you. he was a hottie as we said we're going to take a short break now but when we come back we'll discuss the new myth busting web site launched by the german authorities. it's.

dropping bombs. forcing you to fight the battle. for the tell you the. public but please. tell me you are not full enough to fight. the hawks we. will walk.

but again that germany has welcomed well over a million refugees in the last few years but now a myth busting website has been launched by authorities there to do to anybody thinking of taking the parish journey from north africa with more his. well the west side launched by germany's foreign minister is cold rumors about german effects for migraines it's very user friendly easy to use services features small colorful posts busting what the website describes as meat and big lies that human traffickers and small girl is famous for feeding the would be asylum seeker with such a welcoming payment of two thousand you were false the website says

a house or a job for every new arrival complete nonsense the website explains that the best one could get in germany would be crowded mess accommodation center often in remote places because big cities are no longer available to feed more refugees and that means the chances of very high that no one would speak to migrants language in that plays which will complicate life a lot of course. but

interesting is that the target audience for this website are exactly the same people that just couple of years ago were so welcome teen germany following angola merkel's a so-called open door policy you'll remember those pictures where germany's chancellor was posing with refugees and you remember the warm welcome that they were getting railway stations throughout the country so. that proves quite dramatic shift in policy but very logical and the same time you know that following the results here in germany far right alternative for germany party enjoyed historic success it's a far right party and they were using these anti migrant rise in anti migrant sentiment in the society while merkel's party and their allies throughout the country has

suffered the war in the last half a century it would be fair to mention that the website doesn't only paint a dark picture of what life could be for migrants in germany but it also tells about new opportunities and improvements in potential asylum seekers home countries there are chapters in this website called stability returns to iraq for example or germany creates jobs in middle east and obviously these articles are designed to push maybe these potential migrants to the decision to stay home meanwhile facebook uses in six countries of hit back at the social media giant which is trialing a scheme to change story to charge news outlets for their posts this morning. well this is potentially one of the biggest changes to the way facebook works since

its inception thirteen years ago and it's basically trying out a new feature that's called explorer it offers users things from further afield that they wouldn't normally have in their news feeds but in six countries in sri lanka bolivia slovakia serbia guatemala and cambodia that experiment has gone further afield users in those countries have had their news feeds purged completely all of news posts unless it's sponsored content so any news organization that wants its post to come up in the uses of those countries news feeds will have to pay for the privilege and the news organizations in those countries are already feeling the effects they're talking about a drop in all gammick reach a journalist has written a piece all about how they've had four times fewer interactions since these changes came in news organizations of course rely on facebook as

a way of getting more hits on their posts a lot of stuff goes viral through facebook specifically so it's a vital tool for publishers and it's not just concern from smaller news organizations and the non-mainstream ones but it's also a concern further down the line for freedom of the press in general because by creating a barrier that creates you know need for publishers to pay for people to see what they're posting you're effectively curating the news agenda or dare i say it potentially censoring it as well so at the same time you've got facebook telling news organizations to calm down and get a grip this is what the head of its news feed had to say in response to the concerns in a facebook post take a listen. the goal of this test is to understand if people prefer to have separate places for personal and public content we will hear what people say about the experience to understand if it's annoyed day worth pursuing any further there is no

current plans to roll this out beyond these test countries or to charge pages on facebook to pay for all of the distribution in news feed or explore i think the key word that's going to keep the smaller news organizations awake at night that is current he said there are no current plans so that clearly evening the option open that's got a lot of news outlets worried about a slip back into the desk that has alerted the online world to this issue he doesn't think it's going to work he says the news feed without news is going to a lot to use is pretty quickly to how utterly boring that friends are all the online community did lash out saying that social media the social media network will be supplying people what they want them to hear and also for seven the link between new organization zx and uses independent journalist martin some a says that facebook is experimenting with its monopoly on power. well i think this is an abuse

of the monopoly powers and facebook and the of the major u.s. internet companies are basically trying it on the experimenting with this to see if they can use their monopoly power to increase their profits but also more sinisterly they're in there working with the u.s. intelligence services to censor the news it's not really a competitive market one of the other sinister things they're doing is demilitarizing people they don't like there's actually calls from across the spectrum in the us for the internet complete to be treated like utilities and they're either got to be run by the government or they've got to be regulated by the government to ensure that a competitive market exists. the president of ukraine has posted on twitter to commemorate when tens of thousands of ukrainian people were deported to siberia during the soviet union but unfortunately he did attach a fait

a showing another tragedy during the hawkins expects the whole story rolls around this photo which president poroshenko posted on the day commemorating the deportation of western craniums to siberia in far eastern russia in one nine hundred forty seven and nobody could have blamed him for wanting to show solidarity with something that many ukrainians view as a terrible historical injustice but this photo isn't what it seems it was actually taken five years earlier back in nineteen forty two it shows apparently jews in poland being transported by nancy forces from the lord's ghetto to shun the extermination camp where tens of thousands were murdered while the original images apparently kept in a holocaust museum now the head of the ukrainian jewish committee has a broad with a tweet as strange and the whole incident is made even more salient because of poland and ukraine is diverging views on the events of that era a particular point of ten. between the government saw the massacres of poles in

nazi occupied poland in the early large and forty's they were carried out by the ukrainian insurgent army the u.p.a. a group viewed by some as fighters for ukrainian independence and others as far right nazi collaborators so a lot was actually passed in ukraine in twenty fifteen all knowing the organization we can't say for certain whether this accuracy was intentional at the time but three days later it's still up on the president's twitter feed for the world to see political analyst mark mccall he does think that the crane could face ramifications over the incident the polish government may in fact protest but not try to turn it into really seen as incident and polish government move very cold in new created buzz of. say these things to him but i would expect him not to issue a formal protest to the government in q two. but say

this is and regarded as an unfortunate mistake and please take the pictures down from the website because it's quite clear that the pictures are not from western ukraine. you're watching our say thanks for being with us this evening we'll have more news at the top of the. what politicians do something against. it put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to. have to do like to be for us this is what before three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters in the. first six may.

when i'll get off the big. game a no is this something i'm not to run eventually get the last of it would be theo i nurse knows how to book it by the wrist i'm just. yeah he was in the school for that because i'm going to touch up more on myself in the dumbest part of the a lot of them on how to eat. noodles on those she just put out she going to be yes militiaman got a bagel. killer then i'm a little bit is the food out of this.
