we're. not going to remind. the same of russian meddling reaches new levels as britain's prime minister calls to unite against moscow accusations flying from spain and even a hollywood star trek. to washington on monday forced r.t. america to register as a foreign agent russia's parliament passes and outlets working in this country. also this week cancel o.d.s. deposed leader explains all of the first edition of r.t. new talk show he tells host alex salmond about how he felt shocked about the violence marring the referendum. mistake. start a new era. that will start calling for.

people smugglers or aid workers a u.k. think tank claims volunteers helping refugees cross borders are treated as criminals by brussels we hear from a former soldier who fell foul of the old guard. all the latest headlines and a roundup of the stories that shaped the week first to britain's prime minister may have set a new low for relations with russia and his speech on tuesday after accusing moscow of military aggression and election meddling but all surprisingly scant on details and apparently the key issue of works it seems far less important. chief among those today of course is russia but it is russia's actions russia's illegal onix ation of crimea so i have a very simple message for russia because we know there's a strong and prosperous russia russia has the reach and the responsibility russia can russia does not to secure the best possible brics it the day after may's claims

the times newspaper alleged russian interference in the brig's it votes one example was a supposedly russian who is profiled didn't fit a typical british political observer yet posted or read tweeted nearly one hundred posts mentioning brags that the political and media scare mongering may have actually had an effect as policy boyko reports in recent weeks and days the british media has been heavily focused on the lack of progress at the braggs it talks and the problems facing to raise their maze of government the russian interference story has drawn the fire away from all that and now media outlets can pour over the question of how many trolls does it take to incite a revolution not many according to everyone we approached to discuss this story in

london do you think four hundred twitter accounts from from russia is enough to change the outcome of the referendum here in the u.k. well i think it could i think it could sort of and the could be a lot more yeah so you think it's only the tip of the iceberg yes i think it's just the tip of the iceberg i believe there is some of the books movies and i'm being very careful with my own. where there's smoke there's usually russia did use. the idea about four hundred twitter people will affect. as it were mostly mostly people who don't read anything on twitter is. absolutely laughable the prime minister's spokesperson has said that downing street didn't have any evidence of successful interference in british electoral systems and this was the way the foreign secretary put it i haven't seen. the.

evidence. yet but that doesn't matter because if you ask a member of the public care if russia did magill the answer is most likely to be. to these or me and other leaders are doing across the west is trying to divert attention from their on responsibility for for the enveloping crises the political crises are taking place at home and abroad too in this context they don't need evidence russia is seen as an easy target. but despite may contribute seeing to the attacks on moscow she was later forced to clarify her claims and it turns out she wasn't actually implying that russia meddled in berks it. to look at the speech i gave on monday that was the examples i gave of russian interference when not in the united kingdom but britain was far from the only one to dig deeper

on russian claims this week spanish officials also alleged moscow meddling this time in catalonia years separatist movement. many messages and many interventions that have occurred through social networks come from russian territory and they use the expression russian territory that does not necessarily mean that you have confirmed that it is the russian government mainstream media insisted russia may have destabilized the country however spanish leader mariano rajoy denies all the allegations saying he has no information about it i have no data which can be used as evidence on the involvement of the russian government nothing well the blame russia card has also been played in the deepening scandal over sexual misconduct in the us entertainment industry star trek george takei was this week accused of acting in the early eighty's he denied the allegations against him he seemed to win over the backing of social.

he should have said that cling on up there not lie everyone else who bad they're so least specious idle through all of this work to make société should would serve as vain startrek after months of growing pressure from washington to the us so it could continue broadcasting that china will not have to abide by. the jury in the second world war costs and social media output more american than apple islands the first amendment is supposed to protect the freedom of speech right right it allows anyone to have a voice in till you speak to about r.t. america was forced to register as a foreign agent why forced because the other option was legal action and accounts frozen so let's say you're an american journalist and you want to cover stories the

mainstream media will never talk about and then all of a sudden your employer is labeled a foreign agent that makes you a spy the o.j. is using a law from one thousand nine hundred thirty eight created to fight non-si propaganda against america but the law doesn't apply to any other foreign broadcasters kept are the u.k. france and many other countries can have their say as long as they don't say too much remember when al-jazeera was a t.v. that changed real quick as soon as they started walking washington's line they became respected journalists you are not a respected journalist if you cover imperialism nato expansion israeli occupation if you talk saudi arabia straight up if you go inside guantanamo to reveal human rights abuses and i say spying currency wars exorbitant military spending manmade interventions and soft coup you are not

a respected journalist if you go on live t.v. call out the country that funds your network but keep your job you are not a respected journalist if you. risk your life to cover proxy wars violent protests police brutality and coverage without corporate censorship you are not a respected journalist if you win multiple prestigious awards and emmy nominations you are not a respected journalist if you only work for r.t. because it's one of the larger outlets that will actually let you say what no other network will and touch topics you would be fired for anywhere else to buy the little failure to register will lead to prosecution on the outlets could be banned just like with r.t. america all output by the channels would have to be completed to see the truth about what was going on on borders he says little's u. g.'s well one person mentioned headlines last year when french jungle come his his story. years ago i went over to help in

in france in the notorious jungle and i was building shelters there. and i used to help me for many weeks and you know months building shelters until one day i found out she had a family who lived literally two miles from myself and i decided to you know with with you know a little bit of thought of what we had i decided to try to get still her family is quite obvious that you know i didn't do it for money it was quite obvious i didn't do it for you know any political gain or anything like that it was quite will be she had a purely did it out of a humanitarian. desire to help this little girl the french government the three judges in the car so all this for what it was they viewed it as a stupid act by next soldier. now he faces five years in prison before his punishment

was reduced to a thousand year i find i just actions were called a crime of compassion by the media his propaganda on the french authorities i could only presume that agenda would be that if they were to stop aid workers are humanitarians going to hell then that would force refugees and the bark off awesome away unless you've actually lived among refugees and heard some of the stories you can't really understand why they were asked to be done crying is to say .
