for a party america is. better than. the sea or heard of. the. president of the world bank he. sent us an e-mail. headlining this friday morning. in the latest of russian media. to a big day today the spanish senate set to vote on whether or not with direct rule of the region as the president rules out to snap election. billion dollars cyber security industry could be about to double in value in the coming years under the constant threat of the internet where.

i live from. moscow time this is r.t. international with me kevin good morning to you thanks for watching first us in the news this morning twitter has blocked this channel from advertising on its platform in an unprecedented and out of the blue move to be clear it doesn't affect our t's news feed accounts which you can still follow as usual. the details of what it does mean. a story where the plot thickens and develops almost weekly r.t. has received notification from twitter it began positively we believe in freedom of expression and in speaking truth to power it ended ironically with the news that all r.t. accounts on our brand from advertising any content on the social media platform twitter has made policy decision to or board advertising from all accounts owned by russia today and sputnik according to twitter r.t. on behalf of the russian government attempted to interfere in the us elections as

claimed by the us intelligence report back in january twenty seventh team no clear accusations of wrongdoing misconduct or breach of policy now this turn of events is almost comical given that last year twitter offered to deliver an unbiased point of view of the us elections through an exclusive ad campaign aimed to promote artie's election coverage and bring it to a wider american audience ortiz released some details of the election collaboration offer to provide a clearer picture now the special offer included many features from customize the mode you hashtags to analytics and research solutions even a dedicated team of twitter experts to help with media strategy this had the specific aim of having a bigger reach to american voters and viewers why would twitter have offered this to a kremlin propaganda tool seeking to control the election after the negotiations r.t.

didn't take up the offer because of the hefty price tag it went over all social media budgets what happened over the last year and a half how has r.t.e. gone from trusted media partner to being on par with mysterious russian bots and trolls here are the facts r t never violated any rules while advertising on twitter r.t. has never dealt with and will never deal with bartz or any other compromise tools on any. social media platform r t has never spread any sort of deliberate misinformation if this had not been the case r t would have been banned by any social media platform in question as all of them have strict rules for policy violations however twitter included this channel in their report russian interference in the twenty sixth elections it even went as far as releasing confidential information on adverts spending on the platform a marketing strategy used by most international news outlets by the way in this day

and age but again no proof of real misconduct the unprecedented actions of twitter might end up backfiring for all media outlets as artie's editor in chief has warned honestly i didn't believe that twitter was controlled by american security services it looked like a conspiracy theory to me but twitter has just been fast it's a pity especially because american news outlets operating in russia will now feel the tenderness of russian tit for tat measures in the twitter officials will testify before congress on russian election meddling no doubt r.t. will be given a mention and while we're happy we've played by twitter's rules can twitter say they've avoided by the very principles of free expression they say they believe in good question well there's been a response but certainly very quickly from wiki leaks founder julian assange he's calling on to it had to be more transparent now and release details of all place by all media or nonprofit organizations he's not alone the journalist behind the

n.s.a. whistle blowing scandal glenn greenwald questions whether twit it would make the same move if there were complaints against u.s. government linked groups targeting ads abroad r.t. said the social media told andrew farmer about how two of his decision has come than as an unexpected and really disappointing shock. but we've never broken a rule on that and i dare say given the climate in america right now how do our team broken a rule would be very quick to hear about a right now but we haven't quite clearly and both it seems to me like that there's a certain desire to squeeze us a little bit in terms of you know how to reach across the digital they've never really expressed concern about the content or any of these concerns that they've expressed today no there were there's been no can no expressions of concern about our content on the contrary you know we've always tried to be very innovative digital publisher it's it's really surprising. unfortunate that they've decided in this decision unilaterally to prevent us from campaigning but in my opinion it

speaks it speaks more to the kind of level hysteria level of hysteria that in america from our point of view is a really important part from for us we certainly deeply regret it we're shocked by it we deeply regret that you know we couldn't have spoken about this before hundred he's given given each other some heads up and you know quite clearly adamantly you know stand our ground in terms of the integrity and the quality of the products that we publish on our platform were bloody good this is a deliberate move to get everybody off of what's happening right now to the hillary clinton f.b.i. investigation everybody's favorite now let me get this straight r.t.d. buys an ad or ads ok like the world does what did these ads do did they survive the election did they cause or were they evidence of or in d.c. of colucci what pray tell did these ads or complicate they made

americans. i think and maybe caused curiosity dissension perhaps that was the collodion so that's a great move for freedom of speech way to go twitter it's disgusting lionel is so the moves against the would describe as a witch hunt by the russian foreign ministry last month may have been gathering pace of a sids the us justice department to mount the america register of the cold war era foreign agents for a start moscow said if that happened it would result in serious legal consequences then google removed r t you choose premium advertising services in the states without any prior notice to us the attacks against this channel started in fact after january's u.s. intelligence report on alleged russian meddling there's never been any solid proof that the influence of those twenty sixteen u.s.

elections despite a flurry of attacks ongoing in congress run propaganda machine contributed to the influence campaign by serving as a platform for kremlin messaging using russian government funded outlets russian propaganda media outlets like r t i think it's a propaganda arm of government that is definitely not on our side reports have it that russia not only wanted to weigh in in the election with they also want to undermine u.s. confidence the citizens confidence in our electoral process and in our democratic values the experts we talked to believed to might have been pressured into making this move against us. it's them trying to curry favor with congress before having to go before congress i know this is coming from from from from some sector in the government we just don't know which one yet but i think that when the hearings take place and twitter comes up and asked to explain

this and they're going to come up and say hey look what we did now leave us alone it's not they're not going to leave them alone they're going to push them even more so when the hearings take place i think we're going to find out who behind the scenes is done this again it's probably within the american intelligence community but it definitely is pressure it's just the question is from what area of the government is it coming from. of course it's not a coincidence i mean the smear in the count's me is showing clinton and trump i mean it's just another not just to bashing out a but bashing russia as well i don't lot of people they look at the social media accounts like twitter and facebook and instagram and somehow believe that these are the past year ins of free speech but we're increasingly seeing sentient if anybody dead talk out against them mainstream narrative so i understand where they said tack is now come on and come see what r.t. have done wrong or to we get this unholy alliance between the force the state

machine the press and the people and politicians it's not a good and it's not a healthy relationship. no i don't think it was an accident or or a mix up or in any way i think it was directed look you know back during the old days during the cold war it was the soviet union that sought to protect protect its population from infection by any voice that descended from the dissented from the official media now we have american media companies and the american government trying to shut down dissent and make sure we could only listen to c.n.n. and we see no defense in the settings. voices at all this is a very ominous development it's not so much even r t but what does this say about what the american government the american agencies and now these social media companies are willing to do to compromise information coming to the american people we'll keep tracking that story and this is a big one to be kicking off probably later on today as well the next stage of it

spain's senate is set for a key vote on the escalating catalonia crisis later today the madrid government could decide to take back the rule of the break we're region will be trouble if it does its predicted it comes off the can't land president decided against calling a snap election yesterday. more than willing to put forward an election as long as there's a go and see people a day to them treated with respect there's been no such guarantee to date more than three weeks after going to the polls catalans remain in limbo many had expected decisive action from the catalan president instead he handed the final say to the we channel parliament that sparked a wave of criticism on social media. care

on the streets of boston learned the reaction was movie tickets i think that he did make the right yes i stand right now we only have one option that these declared independence disappointed. because i think that it's it's. no use to wait more time to declare independence sometimes we have to wait for the good things to come and i thing today is are they to take take things calmly what we expect is republic

the catalan parliament is due to vote on friday and so much waiting there is a call for just to be any easy insights but what the catalan did was quite a clever move with a couple of president that very clever move because devolved decision true because . now you know a bit of pro independence majority there so obviously that points in one clear direction that probably you will have a vote in favor of an attorney but he warns that when that happens the violence witnessed by many during the referendum could be repeated things might get very ugly here with the repression of the spanish government we are a peaceful people we are a civic we are for so obviously you can expect some massive resistance from the.

people because we are very proud nation now we're not more than any other nation but we're not less than any other nation to our rights we have the right of self-determination we are going to support we're going to defend our rights no matter where the final independence decision is taken all senate is in madrid it will also be voting but all article one fifty five if that is implemented it will impose direct rule on catalonia a move which was once described as an atomic bomb by a spanish former foreign minister so if the catalan republic is declared independent it may not have time to get on the map as a softened state. barcelona yeah there's the ripple effect across the border to in the south of france there's a connection there historic one where there's plenty of support for capital

independence incidentally it's because for centuries the region was part of catalonia it was ceded to france in the seventeenth century it's still known as northern catalonia with its own regional language and dialect is what locals there have to say about the independence push. so what's happening is very serious and sadly our fund elected representatives say much this stay neutral be young neutral passive boring for people who claim to be democratic. we ask for donations and we'll collect a large sum of money of course but this is only the beginning we also want to show that we are here to tell our friends in the south don't worry you're not alone. when there is an oppressor and oppressed those who say nothing give their press their power we want our representatives our parliamentarians to come forward and to clearly say who they support ten fifteen in the morning moscow time for a good morning for me kevin i didn't run the world on the way stay with me for at

least the next ten minutes or so while there's a sinister side to the internet you should know more about and also why it's hard to tell red from blue and us politics these days. for over a year we have heard nonstop but somehow in some way trump colluded with russia to win the presidential election so we have yet to see the evidence of this however it appears more likely it was the democratic party that difficult. there was a transition away from public housing and government assisted. public housing. units across the country and they became the land. owning.

gentrification under the current. socialist. underwriting property but not for the poor people they do it for the rich. the internet's long had a sinister side which few ever experience but which should be a concern nonetheless to anyone who gets online it's called the web. this is just.

you know some of. the curing information held online is going to be an endless battle with cyber crime having rocketed in recent years and the cost of country could double over the next five years alone. spillman explains some of the dangers lurking out there on the web. the dark web has become a place where a lot of very bad things are going on over there it wasn't always that way and it wasn't meant to be that way the dark web was a set up a originally by the united states navy to be used as a place for dissidents or people in third world countries who want to have connections with the outside world or to provide privacy and anonymity but the problem is is that the dark web has been hijacked by bad people because of the same reasons that it's providing that same anonymity and basically today you have

tremendous amounts of cyber crime that are being run off of the docks where the different sites different forums marketplaces reflect like look like amazon where they're actually selling things broken down into categories and i say selling things i mean everything you can possibly imagine drugs weapons pornography all the bad things you could imagine. it's also a place that is beginning to threaten organizations because if someone is breached and there's large data breaches this information can find its way for sale on the dark web or just the density of people being stolen whether it's students at a university whether it's the medicare program in australia which we brits recently saw a dark web cyber intelligence company is a company like ours six that basically is analyzing information that's on the dark web and other sources like the deep web and basically providing a threat intelligence picture of the different threats that are out there and these different and these areas. scary next picking which party to

back in the united states used to be pretty straightforward choice but now with more than a few republican senators vocally turning against their own president and sounding more like democrats it's getting tougher kind of opens been out in new york than to play spot the republican in the usa it's coke or pepsi mcdonald's or burger king and we all know in politics it's democrats or republicans but now we've got three senators who don't exactly fit these categories you know you would think he would aspire to be the president united states and act like a present united states but you know there's just not going to be the case apparently a democrat sounds like a democrat democrats that it was actually senator corker a republican. can really say something like that to abandon the idea as we have advanced around the globe to really use the allegations of international leadership and our duty to remain in the last session. for the sake of some half at stake sure

each nation gets republican and you're correct that john mccain a republican we must stop pretending that the dick degradation of our politics and the conduct of saddam and our executive branch are normal they are not normal reckless outrageous and undignified behavior has become excused in countenance as telling it like it is. when it is actually just reckless outrageous and dignified and dignified democrat actually that's a real they might sound like members of our classic democrats attacking trump but these are republican senators at least for the moment now at least two of them say that they're not planning to run for reelection well there seems to be a falling out within the republican party but they're not democrats so where do they fit into their new third party well they certainly have political weight i don't know if they have the popularity to form

a third party all three represent the paul six of the old republican guard the establishment republican party and they see the writing on the wall and frankly there's no future for them in the republican party as it is being led by president trump they can say what they want to about the president but they can't they can't win elections and that's why they were and i think senator corker and now senator flake. you know if they decide to run for reelection they would probably would they were facing a primary opponent and they would probably lose the election so at this point the u.s. senate has fifty two republicans forty six democrats plus two independents who caucus with the democrats so three republican senators marching to their own drumbeat isn't a small matter last july they played a decisive role in defeating republicans health care bill intended to overturn obamacare. now it's worth noting that both the weekly standard and the national review both of them

ideological voices of neoconservatism are with the senators and against the president and they've even had a popular hash tag alert the day care staff so these anti trump republicans may be leaving the senate but until they do they're making sure trump doesn't get his own way cable poppen artsy new york. one of the developments meantime the trumpet ministries. choose hand in congress a list of russian companies and organizations that might fall under a new us sanctions it lists entities from russia's intelligence services and the military industry such as the federal security service foreign intelligence service and the defense manufacturer kalashnikov there's a famous name a new sanctions bill was published in july to punish russia for its supposed aggression in eastern europe and alleged interference in the us election in twenty sixteen the list appeared after pressure from congress which accused the administration of failing to enforce the measures adopted against moscow and toward

campaign richard becker explains to us why he thinks the latest targets now have been chosen. i think that they're showing hostility toward russia and that they see russia which i think would probably be considered the second military power in the world as a as an obstacle to a strategy of global domination which is shared by the top levels of both the democratic and the republican parties and those who are behind them as well in the ruling circles of the united states so i don't think it's a coincidence that they decided to name all of these defense and intelligence organizations companies and branches of the russian government because they see those as as as the main problem that the u.s. and its nato allies face in this global strategy aides said ten twenty four in the

morning here most katon think she company that's the news update for now by the way with mentioning re the twitter cloud that almost it's important to point to course still on twitter if you want to follow his feed news updates as they have nothing changes there. and have a correspondents very good to know you follow us on kevin i mean that's it them for this see get into. the be.

horndog may not only be tasty but also dead to the ship between. it was suggested well and a fairly strong one there were two thousand. and seven balls in the study it's a very extensive study done by a well respected scientist. do chemicals that down the appetizing really

increase the risk of cancer and i chose the means are known to infuse damage in the last intestine is it a shared skepticism they do not believe that that risk is is truly by independent scientists and in the need industry period you for this i received some compensation for my time as was the others why is that i mean the lobby definitely didn't like what we've been doing and if you want to learn more you'll get a definite on the floodgate. you're not back to. is it big business against health. as it started. in safety. under margaret thatcher there was

a transition away from public housing and government assisted government underwritten. the cows and they sold off all the council estates as they're known people bought into the units across the country and they became the land owning the new land owning neoliberal gentrification under the current government in the u.k. it's another socialist scheme of government underwriting property but not for the poor people they do it for the rich people. just manufacture them sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling closest protect them so. when the flaming. lips. nor middle of the

room sit. low in welcome to cross talk we're all paying for it considered i'm peter lobo for over a year we've heard nonstop but somehow in some way trump world colluded with russia to win the presidential election though we have yet to see any evidence of this however it appears more likely it was a democratic party that did the colluding.
