immediately. it. was. more than day slavery and human trafficking from libya since protests and two major european capitals we'll look at the roots of the problem and why it's being criticized also to come from the rock and a hard place washington apparently promises to keep will cut weapon supplies to its kurdish allies pricing i saw in syria the exact details haven't been forthcoming from the white house and the moon and back full scale space ship simulation is just concluded here in russia.

but i welcome coming to you live from moscow you're watching international now there have been protests in paris and rome over the emergence of modern day slavery and human trafficking coming from libya and the policies getting the blood. was out. of the human trafficking problem. now takes a look at the current blame game and how it all started. some of the harshest condemnation thrown at libya over the appalling treatment of african migrants is coming from france it is called an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council and has gone as far as to threaten libya with sanctions libyan authorities have decided to open an investigation into the facts we wanted to go fast and if the libyan justice system cannot carry this procedure through then we should open international sanctions those threats are being leveled against the very government that the u.n. endorsed and helped form after the fall of gadhafi let's rewind back to two thousand and eleven. thank you.

western leaders of libya was on course to democracy yet it turned out to be a rather gruesome process here's what came next this video purportedly shows libyan rebels torturing groups of black africans they've been locked in cages with their hands tied behind their backs and many of them appear to have the all libyan flag stuffed in their mouths these men were said to have been targeted by rebels after rumors emerged that gadhafi had hired black mercenaries the national transitional council seems to confuse black people with mercenaries or black people or mercenaries for them they're killing people ordinary workers mistreating them so huge section of the population was being singled out and mistreated or even killed and yet human rights groups noted at the time that the plight of those very migrants was being all but ignored unlike today you see.

that they beat me with electric cable while my hands were cuffed behind my back and my feet were bound together with this suffered massively from slavery for about fourteen fifty fifty four hundred years between thirty eight million people or forcibly left the continent it was stolen from africa and now to see slavery again inside africa. is absolute disgusting abhorrent and. the efforts by some of the european countries now to say they want to do something about it they have to recognize that they are part of the cause of the problem itself there's still many would not be the kind of slavery going on in libya today if gadhafi had not been assassinated and the country inoperative thrown into chaos by regime change the human rights abuses during the world outrage today a stark resemblance to what was happening in libya six years ago when western

leaders focus was hailing that off his demise and urging the country to pursue democracy. now the u.s. president and his to his counterpart have apparently agreed to cut weapons supplies to kurdish fighters who are battling eisel in syria it was revealed by the turkish foreign minister following a phone conversation between the two leaders. mr trump clearly stated that he had given clear instructions not to provide you with arms and additional incidents should have ended long ago. however the white house was less specific on the details of that conversation it confirmed that the call did take place but didn't mention the kurds instead saying donald trump informed president about upcoming adjustments to the military support being provided to america's partners on the ground in syria however whether those adjustments will actually affect washington support of the kurds still isn't clear in particular the us directly

supplies them with various types of weapons and supports their military operations with air strikes but it's been a major sticking point between america and which considers kurdish forces to be terrorists. we should be using we should be. taking the wife and he why did into consideration in the region be proven to be the best leaders will never be accepted they really proved to be the most. do it solution will do is the fact that the us is acting together with the white p.g. and p y d and giving them concrete support should be working with them. is damaging the spirit of our alliance and partnership we don't believe you you're not on our side what we gave them were weapons for urban fighting basically and yes we will recover the gear when it's no longer needed by them.

sterling from the serious solidarity movement thinks that washington is in fact playing both sides the only thing here between washington and inconsistency washington of course has. a role here so we're going to have to see how it what it is about the betrayal of the kurds it is going to do. this over the years going. on in washington. and the course earlier on is basically here. it's easy to look at so to be very opportunistic opportunistically seniors interest however. is not just a by the way it's not it's not a war it's that. it's all of the british communities and really a war against the whole progress of the community with it you're. egyptian officials say that those who carried out an attack on

a mosque on friday were carrying islamic state flags the terror group itself though hasn't claimed responsibility for this old which killed at least three hundred five people authorities are still hunting for the militants behind what's being called the deadliest ever terror attack in the country. egypt's public prosecutor says that around twenty five to thirty gunmen arrived in four off road vehicles they set off two bombs during prayers at the mosque before opening fire as people tried to flee cairo based journalist jacob shafter tells us what could be behind this latest atrocity in egypt. this is an attack on the state supported mosque in the north sinai this is an attack on the kind of islam that's promulgated by the egyptian administration one that denounces and renounces terrorism and we see that the jihad is now have decided to go not only against up

against the government and up against christians but against muslim or worse a person who are choosing the path of moderate islam that is the mainstream form of that religion here in egypt and officially we do know who operates terror organizations in the sinai and there are groups that are affiliated with isis there are groups affiliated with al qaeda and the egyptians of course are very angry and so this is becoming a religious war inside of islam that has implications way beyond egypt itself but but to the wider sunni middle east. now an experiment simulating a seventeen day mission to the moon has just finished here in russia six participants spend their time isolated and confined to a mock spacecraft for the duration of the project is named serious and has been supported and partly funded to by nasa.

well with the first stage then of these experiments complaint they will now be extended in the coming years for example in twenty eighteen the project will see

participants spend about four months in simulated space then in twenty nineteen the isolation will last for eight months and the last stage is planned to start in twenty twenty and that would last for a back to here it could pave the way thing for anybody traveling to space in the not too distant future. to normal citizens will be able to spend time in space it's going to be something that not just astronauts and not just highly trained personnel can go to so it's a very important that we take normal citizens are normal scientists that don't have astronaut background we see how they're going to work on these environments there are a lot of qualities that people generally have that could be used very efficiently in space exploration so i think that it's a good thing to have these sorts of programs of space collaboration and exploration that do not require people to. goes through this kind of formal you know nasa or

russian astronaut because much training illegal kaufman from the human research program in russia told us that cooperation between the united states and russia brings that wealth of experience to both sides so nasa has a long standing collaboration in the research arena biomedical research where the russian space industry particularly with i.b.m. p. institute for biomedical problems in russia we have been doing that for years. we bring a great deal of experience both sides. a lot of experience in this area both sides have been conducting this type of research studies as well as spaceflight studies up on. the international space station for many years so it was only

natural for us to join forces. that were allowed to take basically leverage each other's abilities and so only it only makes sense to increase or efficiency in joining our forces and going further together. by police in the pakistani capital have forcibly dispersed a group of is in this activists have been blocking key roads there in nearly three weeks almost two hundred people have been injured and one police officer has been killed according to local media would have warning the following video just contain distressing images. was. i.

i. thousands of police officers to take part in the operation to disperse supporters of the hardline islamist political party they are against a legal move that will allow them candidates to run for election next year protestors are also demanding the current law minister steps down after he removed a reference to the prophet mohammed in a recent build. or online traffic in the u.s. is treated equally at the moment but that could change if u.s. regulators get their way we'll have a look at that plus of the stories in a couple minutes.

would not be surprised if idealism selling fannie mae and freddie mac. people's bank of china so that it's actually china becomes america's biggest landlord and keeping prices down and up to. global harmony and this is i think what we're can expect in the next few years because the u.s. is the world's biggest debtor china is the world's biggest creditor so you. but those two together you have the biggest creditor taking the u.s. . government guaranteed. all the people who are owing money on those games. chinese landmarks.

hello again take giants in the u.s. are reportedly being asked to help the country's immigration authorities they are planning to further tighten their vetting of social media accounts for visa applicants with details on that emerged after a tech conference where government officials said they are searching for algorithms which could help them assess potential dangers is. expects. the information revolution and the boom of social media have put the world at our fingertips but they've also created some very convenient tools for the government so is the i.t. sector still what the users want us immigration and customs enforcement has asked tech companies microsoft included to help them screen the social media of people holding or applying for american visas in order to make that happen the government is asking them to develop special algorithms we have millions and millions and millions of people coming every year and subsequently to processing so we have to

be smart about it and i'm sure there are tools out there that can help from microsoft this won't be the first experience they've had working with u.s. authorities last month microsoft released a program called as your government a cloud service of classified information customers with secret requirements can expect to gain access to technologies that scale including services such as cognitive capabilities artificial intelligence and predictive analytics amazon will also be helping to stock the government's tool box last week they released a cloud computing region that will be helping the cia and other intelligence agencies they double you as secret region is a key component of the intel communities multi fabric cloud strategy and u.s. senator mitch mcconnell has blatantly stated that the i.t. sector should be working to serve u.s. foreign policy goals and of course he mentioned the russians what we ought to do with regard to the russians is retaliate seriously retaliate against the russians

and the. tech firms could be helpful and having those give us a way to do that the tech sector is private it's supposed to only serve its users and its shareholders but recently more and more it's starting to look like silicon valley is a wing of the u.s. government caleb mop and r t new york and us journalists that people should be careful to with that private information online particularly when it comes to using the services of tech giants. it's worth noting in understanding that when you search and you use google when you use social media tools like facebook and these other softwares and these other types of apps that they often are very forthcoming with your information they're willing to give your information over to the u.s. government without much of a fight some of them do put up a fight occasionally but for the most part they work with them very regularly and that's something you should take into consideration and perhaps pursue alternatives

google is not the only search engine that exists there's better alternatives there's better alternatives to facebook there's better alternatives to all these different companies and at some point people should say if you want to support the u.s. government's surveillance and the u.s. government's push towards a police state that i'm not going to buy your product anymore i'm not going to use your product anymore it really will and could be problematic especially with the social media monitoring of immigrants and really the social media monitoring of all americans and in foreigners and people abroad it has implications beyond you know just whether or not the u.s. and these private industries are working together they're definitely working together whether it's for profit over something more nefarious we don't know at this point but i would say this is something more people should be paying attention to there's always been private industry working for governments that's kind of a standard practice but i do think that what we're seeing is this relationship between big business corporate america and the u.s. government it's getting further and further and mesh in till they're becoming just

one single entity meanwhile u.s. regulators say their plans to revoke so-called net neutrality rules have widespread public backing the move could lead to acting speed internet sites to pay to get that traffic prioritized save others although it does saying not all the public feedback was actually genuine. seeing this is pretty annoying and if net neutrality is rolled back in the us people we seeing a lot more of it here's how it works at the moment internet providers have to treat all online traffic equally that means that they can't block or slow anything down but all thirty's will not end they think the private sector will invest trillions of dollars into web services if their plan goes ahead they even asked the country what it thought of the move urging people to submit comments and twenty two million replied the majority in favor of repealing net neutrality the problem is some users started to complain that they didn't write the comments then approved by the new

york attorney general revealed some feedback to the f.c.c. plan was actually fake hundreds of thousands of americans were likely impersonated to drown out the views of real people and businesses this was a can to identity theft on a massive scale but the scale might be even bigger than that one data scientist claims he found at least one point three million fake pro repeal comments he noticed repetitive language looking as if it was generated by a computer program meanwhile the national tracking poll shows that the majority of americans actually support net neutrality as to who is definitely against it the telecom corporations who stands and huge profits by charging more for faster connections and by the way the current head of the f.c.c. used to work for the biggest telecom operators in the u.s. well as for who might actually be behind the feedback pushing for net neutrality to be scrapped a few media outlets were quick to point the finger at russian hackers. the notion

that russia may have rigged the. debate over a topic does that begin to sound a little repetitive to you as often happens over here in the states is when one gets close to the heart of the issue think issues or merge and this fake issue of bytes possibly connected to the russian federation i think is a fake issue as you rightly point out it is very difficult to actually pinpoint where these parts may have arisen after all they are indeed called bots and it's certainly possible the people over here could you know attribute could create a bot and falsely attribute it planted in a way to make it seem as if it's russians we did the federal communications commission to comment on the new york attorney general's investigation concerning fake net neutrality comments as well as alleged foreign meddling we'll let you know when we get a response. if you think that navy seals sound fearsome how about the soviet battle nice they certainly got the media in and fired up at the

moment although a little basic journalistic fact checking might have saved them they're worth.

you nischelle i perforce article that was published in the russian magazine called popular mechanics has a man behind it put a graphic up at least one of the photos used in this article a partially real photo of the moose was taken by a friend of mine at a moose farm one of the red army soldiers is me i'm standing with my back towards the camera on the right having taken this photo we later combined it with a photo of the moves a museum has been opened in failing this year which is dedicated to the winter war and there is a hole there featuring the combat moose i was really taken aback because there is a line at the end of our article saying this is a joke and the story was disseminated on the internet with no mention of this this is not even about fake news this is just an april fools day joke. you're watching r.t. thanks for being with this is afternoon don't forget if you get the chance have a look at r.t. dot com so i'm back with more news in half an.

hour. longer thought it could be really. scary. to be in the media. and the culture is good out of the big picture but it's it's a real business which we need to maintain we need to but it's not the fact of the prospects at the moment go forward with the draw with the automotive g.p.s. to even track trucks other machines will have less and less people employed so the fact that we easily get the sheo business just shows how the rest of the waters get rid of this business with it with eager.

eyes was it to americans by the israeli own fortune it be by financial support of something. contrary in there. for making unsafe fuel. yeah one. come. welcome to jackson night some time you might have heard of r t america the network that puts out this show has been forced to declare itself a foreign agent because it's funded by russia this is never been done against a media outlet and in terms of this show in terms of redacted tonight as i've noted

before i'm an american in america covering american news for americans my my father was in the u.s. military for twenty years i was born it walter reed army hospital i'm descended from walter camp the father the inventor of a more akin football. seriously you couldn't be more american than me if you uncle sam with red white and blue strap on shaved like abraham lincoln while saying i want yankee doodle to pay my blood stream i've got toby keith naked robin apple pie and kentucky bourbon on his nipples all right. and i didn't set out to bring on a russian funded network put in my twenty years of doing political stand up comedy across this country i found out that the naughty things i talk about aka the unvarnished truth are not allowed on all of the other channels in this great

country if you've taken the red pill and you're lookin for the undying looted stone cold reality about the corporate state in which we live with no chaser to even cover the burn you know you're not even a wedge of lime just stuck on this if that. what you're looking for the next is the channel you turn to. thank you. it's just. not good else out there you tube channels like the jimmy doors show but that's not a t.v. channel you show trust me i've had the meetings if you show up at any other t.v. network and say the two party system is a corrupt broken crap fast owned by wall street then the executives at that channel will look at you like you just farted into a bowl of horny auto tuned it and replayed it to them with bill cosby as your

height man. a lot of the shows on r t america are hosted by people who were kicked out of the corporate outlets the because they you know after they said things that aren't allowed and when i was a when i say said things i don't mean like they accidentally used the word on air. i mean they came out against our military industrial complex or our corporate state or the bank own fold democracy ok chris hedges was booted from the new york times after coming out against the iraq war a jolt was sidelined at emmaus n.b.c. after speaking up a lot about the transpacific partnership which was largely considered a global corporate takeover and he was the only one talking about it on that network governor jesse ventura had a major new show with imus n.b.c.

set to go set ren ready to start for the iraq war began but then they found out he's opposed to war. and this is true they asked him if he could change his mind on that excuse just geneseo you for that simple on the whole let's not kill a million innocent people under false pretenses. kenya kenya flippity property on that he said no and they paid him like a million dollars to get out of his contract they paid him.
