luther said a mile a military alliance this movement so to get his noble. alliance member turkey has ordered its troops out of a joint exercise in norway or the post in the me or slayer as the data. well this is a things can blow up and add to deteriorating relations in a powerful military alliance that happened during a nato training exercise in norway where a poster was unveiled of enemy countries and the last thing you would expect is for the name of the turkish president edouard to be on that poster bearing in mind that turkey is a key player in nato now the turkish president everyone has responded by saying he's pulling out the forty turkish soldiers who were participating in this. chart that was my name and picture. i gave instructions to immediately withdraw our food to soldiers there can be no alliance want that. turkey is the second largest nato

military force and also a key american ally in the middle east so it's not clear how this incident is going to affect relations the secretary general of nato has apologized saying that the mistake was conducted by a civilian contractor and not an employee of nato that it certainly doesn't represent their views an investigation is under way but it is perhaps ironic because the secretary general is himself from norway where these military drills were taking place so he's having to apologize for mistake in his own country the relationship between nato and turkey is already shaky you have the turkish president the one criticizing concerns that were expressed by nato of a military deal between turkey and russia involving this four hundred anti air defense missile systems at the same time nato has repeatedly criticized the ones apparent what they say is an apparent autocratic tendencies and there's also been

a lot of scrutiny regarding turkey's rule of law and democracy particularly when it comes to nato membership so the last thing the relationship between turkey and nato needs is for something like this to happen even if nato is insisting that it was a mistake. in other news twitter is cracking down on far right groups and individuals it is stripping them of their verified status over fears of the blue badge could be seen as an endorsement although critics do say the measure is not being applied consistently with more on the story his. up until this week hundreds of fake and parenting accounts hence the blue tick but twitter says that somewhere along the line this verification became known as an endorsement verification has long been perceived as an endorsement this perception when we open the benefit case for public submissions and then for people who. the blue

tick purge started after twitter was criticized for verifying the account of this man jason kessler the organizer of the deli in charlottesville an organist eventually twenty came up with an extensive list of the new guidelines the reasons for removing the symbol include intentionally misleading people promoting violence inciting harassment and the list goes on nearly detect uses include tommy robinson the former leader of the u.k.'s english defense league and white supremacist richard spencer ordinary twitter users have expressed confusion over the new policy.

what about accounts like these mohammed al a reef e a conservative sony muslim cleric from saudi arabia banned from the u.k. in twenty fourteen his blue tick remains intact twitter says it's conducting a sweeping review of its verified accounts and it's possible that accounts like this may not have come up for review yes. but but even before the rethink twitter hat being criticized for refusing to verify certain accounts that of wiki leaks editor julian assange for example project very fast found james o'keefe both journalists with anti establishment views twitter didn't answer our t's request for more information regarding its policy review in recent months twitter has faced

mounting criticism for failing to combat it stream as m. and hate speech it's not clear how making itself the arbiter of right and wrong with a seal of approval is going to fix that boyko r t london us republican party activist john griffin told us why he sees the move as problematic so the idea of you know firing twitter accounts on the basis of hate is is more to me of a of a symbolic gesture towards preventing dialogue leads leads to more hateful discourse i think that what's being done is being done primarily because of top down political pressure to try to centrally silence some discussion but the the accounts that have been that have been blocked for hate speech frankly i don't think anyone has a problem with blocking them but the idea that this could creep into something

where one side has an unfair advantage in most political discussions that's certainly a question that i think needs to be asked and looked at honestly. meanwhile facebook has also rolled out a new tool as part of its efforts to root out fake news it's introduced what are called trust indicators they are supposed to help users distinguish between reliable publishers and those peddling misinformation online or for now it does only cover a small group of outlets but is to be expanded in the future the feature details the organizations editorial policies fact checking abilities as well as ownership structure but it's actually up to the companies to provide their own information we heard from a political activist who believes the social networking giant has left its uses let its use is death. facebook has the right to put whatever indicators it once but in doing so it's currently doing

a major disservice to its clients it is essentially misleading them because it's basing its trust indicators on the completely flawed idea that what most of the us mainstream media is reporting is basically true so by putting these indicators it is essentially giving a incorrectly high level of trust facebook is a sort of unscientifically assuming that the currently accepted mainstream media is also trustworthy it is not trustworthy and so allowing these people that they've assumed before even beginning any kind of real review or any kind of real experimentation that they are trustworthy and then deciding to let them show that they're trustworthy by basically saying so is completely backwards. now the u.n. security council does have one more chance to extend a joint investigation into chemical weapons attacks in syria japan has admitted a new draft for consideration and voting on the resolution is expected

a bit later this evening stuff to russia and america stalled each other's attempts to extend the mandate of a group of. state telemark in as the day turns the usa had put forward a resolution it was blocked russia had put forward a resolution it was also blocked and there was quite a heated exchange of words inside the council chamber let's look at some of the highlights from yesterday's meeting russia has acted to obstruct these investigations public pressure is being blamed for everything as usual russia has helped to vary the truth legitimate trying to disparage your country russia has played games with too many groceries not playing games you are trying to play games with russia wants a mechanism but not an independent one would use to protest against this blatant unprofessionalism russia has killed the joint investigate. mechanism to producers who voted against russia's draw for a solution are responsible for the firing of the joint investigative mechanism to

stop operating. the investigation was looking into. in the city of conscious back in april eighty people were killed in a chemical weapons attack now the united states their resolution will put forward essentially to just continue the investigation as normal now russia they put forward their resolution they called for reforms and changes in the manner in which the o.p.c. w was investigating the attack they pointed out that the syrian government was being blamed by the opi c.w. officials yet they never actually visited the site of the attack and they were relying on samples from third parties and that there are a lot of problems with the way the o.p.c. w. investigation was being carried out now japan is putting forward a resolution that would extend the investigation for thirty days now we've heard from the russian foreign ministry they have said moscow sees no point in technical extension of the mandate of o.p.c.

w on syria without correcting the existing shortcomings it's interesting also to note that in the meeting yesterday nikki haley claimed that u.s. officials were trying to reach russian officials and that somehow these calls were not being connected something was wrong with the phones now we've heard a response to those comments from russian's foreign minister sergei lavrov knew it was to dispose of. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations has claimed that will the recent attempts to reach our representative vasoline happens here to discuss a common text for a draft resolution with us to talk to money i guess it means we have a new phenomenon in international relations not only do we have fake news we also know how to make diplomacy sure it's so it's same as the voting will be taking place on japan's resolution we'll be keeping our eye on the u.n. security council chamber as it seems the whole world is wondering what's going to happen next with this chemical weapons investigation that seems to have so many

leading countries divided. now the french military says the international coalition in syria had opposed the deal that allowed eisel terrorist safe passage from their former stronghold of. the coalition it was not for the green mint which enabled islamic state terrorists to escape without being chased the convoy was monitored by drones but the terrorists were mixed in with the population which prevented strikes been carried out the city of racket was liberated in late october that's when the u.s. backed syrian democratic for democratic forces struck a deal with the terrorists the agreement allowed them to withdraw to eisele controlled territory at the time almost three hundred syrian militants along with their families left the city according to the s.d.f. spokesperson and no foreign fighters were among them however recent media reports to suggest that foreign fighters compromised a large part of that comprise are

a large part of that convoy and some of them have already been smuggled into turkey meanwhile the united states has defended the deal and denied the information that many foreign militants might have fled this the city. we followed these buses as the departed and opportunities presented themselves to conduct strikes against any potential isis fighters that were had decided to flee then we would have we would have provided strikes that did not present itself and there were a lot many civilians are reported their cardboard so that did not happen you can you say that no isis fighters active the crisis research into teeth and why the discrepancy of distance in those states is a long way from iraq and from these foreign fighters so that france and turkey for instance of suffered much more from isis inspired an organized attacks than the united states which had a relatively speaking a handful of a tense overseeing this transfer of people and the. so-called democratic forces in

syria the kurdish forces of course view good deep suspicion by turkey that sees them as allies of the p.k. k. group in its own territory which it regards as terrorists so you have a clash of interest between the turkish government which wished to see both isis defeated but not to see any way in which the isis fighters or for that matter kurdish fighters would be strengthened by this change of control of the city do you think this then shows there are actual divisions in the u.s. led coalition. what i think there are you've already reported on the terrible public relations problems between turkey and nato earlier today and more problematic is now the role of france from some of the present one is playing a more assertive role in the middle east it's trying to mediate the lebanon crisis with relations between saudi arabia and iran but of course that crisis is a reflection of the syrian crisis the the struggle for influence over syria in which iran is on one side and the saudis are very differently on the other and so

the french don't particularly like the idea of radical isis fighters several hundred of whom may be from france and belgium escaping from syria and perhaps returning to western europe to wreak mayhem and the french also would like to be a. able to influence policy because they think they have expertise traditional role in the region in the mountain weapon and syria in particular which gives them insights which perhaps they think the americans don't know for. sure they are valid concerns there aren't they from france and turkey you listen look you know some newspaper bill of left are clearly terrorist and they could be coming back into our countries. you know because this is obviously probably nobody can be absolutely certain but that uncertainty is of course part of the fear that terrorism spreads. clearly not every foreign fighter who was hunkered down in rocco was either killed or captured when the city fell to the. democratic forces and many of those who left

the city will have been associated with isis some of them will be local syrians perhaps iraqis but others are from turkey and from western europe also some maybe from russia in central asia so there is a problem that the defeat of isis on the ground in syria and turkey may have had the side effect that some of the more radical well trained fighters have been read dispersed back. then or are ignorant and undemocratic that's how the french president's political movement has been described from the inside that one hundred members of his centrist political group are quitting after publicly expressing contempt for its policies and actions shouted as the story it's only six months since emanuel much corn came to power in france on the back of a wave of his new movement or march french president and his political revolution is fading one hundred members of what is now level public amash see they quitting the party because the party which promised democracy isn't they say democratic and

they say it's arrogant. the movement launched by emanuel macron in april twenty sixth seen started with the slogan the french people should be at the heart of political life not its deck or now the one hundred of us can't stay with a movement or party without a clear political line and that has failed to be based on the pillars of democracy denying with the arrogance and contempt the intelligence of the people. the party leadership has dismissed these resignations which come as it prepares for its conference on saturday it points out that one hundred sixty six thousand have joined in the past six months saying some join some leave and that itself is democracy however while it's easy to dismiss a hundred resignations thousands of ordinary citizens keep voicing their anger on the streets of france again and again just on thursday there were major protests

held by the trade unions in france who fewest with macklin's reforms of the working directive and the latest polls suggest just how unpopular mr conne has become meanwhile mr man who's being it is the president of all french citizens commission officers are difficult not to live like this and. for some forsake the system people don't have offices or fasi for them it's already shot down with every one hundred people leaving his own party may just be a drop in the ocean the reality is that many people in france are becoming incredibly against and disdain for all evident i agree with we shouldn't forget and i repeat myself the said here are a few weeks ago my call came out of nowhere he was elected what fifty one percent of the french people abstain from voting during their parliamentary elections fifty seven percent of the french also abstained from voting so this person has only two

sets he's age and the stock market and that's also used to because liabilities because he has no deep roots in the french political system and he's also perceived as the president of the rich and you're asking from the start with the measures he has been seeing to destroy or dismantle the labor code of france minimizing the the protections for employer employee user and increasing leverage for employer your resume that's exactly what's happening and the way he has been communicating with the rest of the french population i. he says where he's not talking to them as if they were some kind of you know respectable population and he's only you know we're talking to them as if they were some kind of children and you know the french people now are answering the question of you know are you satisfied or not and they're saying absolutely not micron's defense is that it's only one hundred papal i've got hundreds of thousands of members in my party this is just natural for any political party to have people come and go what he's party is barely six months

or that you already have one hundred members to resign in calling it undemocratic and we shouldn't forget that his party was not built like any other party he was only looking for. old school politicians in france to give him some kind of credibility but most of the people who came to he were disappointed by the left and the right which made it he's a so-called political party incoherent and up to this day we don't have the clear political life for what he called the marshall republic or not have to be a mushroom and again emanuel marco has brought around the only people who have left the previous old parties of the left and the right are seeking a new opportunities but the way he's doing politics is the exact same way people have done before him faso or longer and you call a sarkozy a for instance and emanuel mccall is just confirming that he was unfit for office

that birds became other he was other white place other white time and unfortunately this is the losers right now are there broader french populations with a rising unemployment rising discontent and of course the big corporation rocking in what can match them to boost his popularity think. not much i mean like you know he's stuck in the in that seat of the palace it's on him to show more openness to was a french people and to listen to the street people want security but he's sending them the police was depriving them of jobs and you know the financial security people want to are equal and fair access to job opportunities to health care thirty five percent of the french population can't even afford to pay for or at least said they couldn't afford or make savings or their own health care they are dismantling this school of the republic couldn't get dogmatically egalitarian meaning does

their want to give even more chances them to the poor classes of france so no emmanuelle mccall is completely disconnected from the millions of people and he's already paying back the people who brought him to power the minimum he could do is to roll back his reforms and put and bring forward measures for social justice right now what the only agenda he's got is a new order. and i don't much like approach or to social. neighborhood because as long as he continues working for the big banks and the lobbies of wall to be able to please our french population and again what this person showed up and became famous is the youngest kerry isn't and under the fifth republic yes i'm going to have to jump in and i feel passionately about this but we were enacted time we do appreciate you. think human rights and civil liberties activists thank you. now revenues even israel's top military official says his country is willing to

share intelligence on iran with saudi arabia the remarks could further complicate not only the ongoing standoff between tehran and riyadh but also internal affairs in the kingdom picks up the story. over the past ten or fifteen years there's been a feeling amongst those in tel aviv and riyadh that they have a shared interest in pushing back iranian influence in the region but over the last year or two it's becoming more and more obvious and these latest comments by the israeli military's chief of staff essentially saying and admitting that israel and saudi arabia are ready to exchange information and share intelligence on iran and its allies in the region and it's thought that this is something which has been. perhaps to boo in the past something which saudi leaders haven't been able to make the case to their own populations but now it feel more comfortable to do so and it

appears the rule of the middle east is that my enemy's enemy is my friend so those two countries increasing very cooperation in order to push back what they say is rainy and expansionism in the region now of course the situation here in lebanon has been somewhat more tense over the last couple of weeks we've seen that resignation by the lebanese prime minister saad hariri live on television from riyadh from saudi arabia here knows that resignation and many of the political actors in this country the hezbollah political party even the president michel aoun not accepting that resignation because they say according to the lebanese constitution it needs to be made in person and sad hariri hasn't returned to lebanon since he made that announcement leading to some speculation that he has perhaps not been returned against his own free will well over the last day or two we've seen an invitation being extended by the french president emmanuel macron the

french leader and he has said that saad hariri is welcome to come and visit him there are many political analysts both inside lebanon and outside who say that that could be the first. stepped under rubble in this political deadlock and seeing him return to the country and what other analysts say has been the failure of saudi arabia to try to divide the lebanese political establishment he said early reporting there were riyadh has long been a supporter of former prime minister hariri however the lebanese president is a known our ally of hezbollah a political party with a military wing backed by iran meanwhile lebanon's foreign minister has called on saudi arabia to let mr hariri return home but. this situation is on acceptable for lebanon because it violates lebanon sovereignty its external meddling in our internal affairs and democratic processes this sets

a dangerous precedent if we continue down this path it will happen more and more often whenever a government official visits a foreign country. we have very good relations with saudi arabia but it will take a lot of effort on the part of the saudis to try and convince the world that what's happening is nothing out of the ordinary we still want to maintain our high level of relations with saudi arabia so we have avoided any escalation all we want to do is convince your brothers in saudi arabia to give back or better yet let hariri return to lebanon. finally the investigators are still trying to establish why a light aircraft crashed in eastern russia on wednesday killing six people however the incredible story of one girl just three years old who was the sole survivor has captured hearts worldwide.

we're. less pain killers a killer to show to the girl with her body she was far liner in the she knew that they had was close kin and was just a child of it. we're lucky that the miracle happened. and we wish oh well that's how the news works i thought i'm not here now to say we're back with more half a. crown

prince mohammed bin salma is said to be a reformer and on an anti-corruption drive others say differently saudi arabia is experiencing a life threatening crisis that could ignite.
