a. modern day slavery in libya triggers protests in several european capitals we'll look at what's led to such a dire humanitarian situation in the country. in brussels the protest against the sins into riots and looting with almost one hundred people arrested. also ahead this hour washington apparently promises to cut weapons supplies to its kurdish allies fighting in syria in what's seen as a move to have peace turkey but the white house is reluctant to give any details. on the number of deaths in. egypt rises to over three hundred with the government

saying the gunmen where carrying. just a few moments into a brand new day here in moscow sunday november the twenty sixth i'm you know me a welcome to r.t. international demonstrators across europe been voicing their anger over a modern day slavery in libya it comes in the wake of reports of migrants and refugees being captured unsold there for as little as four hundred dollars. i asked. i. think that.

the issues of exploitation slavery and human trafficking were raised when the french president traveled to guinea earlier in the week emanuel was told by the leader of the west african country the e.u. was part of the problem that libya locks the resources to tackle such abuses. what has been revealed everything we have said about the situation in libya definitely falls into the category of trafficking of human beings it is a crime against humanity to france denunciation has been immediate it is indisputable you know to see the european union cannot choose a developing country and ask that country to detain refugees when it doesn't even have the means to do so the refugees are in terrible conditions sorry european friends were not great ask libya to keep the migrants the european union as responsible. for france has been highly critical of the actions of the u.n.

the libyan government in addressing the issue of slavery and juggling looks at some of the causes of the human rights crisis in libya. 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

forcibly left the continent that was stolen from africa and now to see slavery again inside africa. it's absolutely disgusting and abhorrent and i think 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 so this certainly would not be the kind of slavery going on in libya today if gadhafi had not been assassinated and the country had not been thrown into chaos by regime change the human rights abuses stirring the world outrage today a stark resemblance to what was happening in libya six years ago when western leaders focus was hailing about his demise and urging the country to pursue a democracy. protests against slavery have also taken place in brussels where they descended into vandalism looting almost one hundred people who were arrested

according to the belgian interior minister. demonstrators disrupted be event went on the rampage through the city's main shopping street the damaged property police cars witnesses reported seeing police helicopters in the area a metro station near where the unrest took place was shut down for a couple of hours as well. the american president has apparently agreed to stop supplying weapons to kurdish one p.g. fighters who are currently battling islamic state in syria turkey's foreign minister sees donald trump made the pledge in a phone call to his country's leader or to one. mr trump clearly stated that he had given clear instructions not to provide the white b.g. with arms and that this nonsense should have ended long ago. that he that's what

turkey said but the white house was less forthcoming about the conversation it confirmed the cole took place but didn't mention the kurds it simply said trump informed her to want to but upcoming adjustments to the military support being provided to america's partners on the ground in syria however whether those adjustments will affect washington support for the kurds was not made explicit the u.s. has been sending various types of weapons to kurdish forces supporting their military operations with strikes but it's been a major sticking point between the u.s. and turkey which considers some kurdish forces to be terrorists journalist and kurdish affairs analyst he well believes we're seeing a repeat of what happened in iraq because the issue that the united states has put together the purpose of it was just to die so. the kurds proved to be

a very good pricing force in this they have finished with them then they can partner for them go the this is this has been the situation in iraq because it was exactly the same the kurds were an effective force on the ground in the fight against i so when i saw disappeared they were like hot potatoes the same situation in the in this city in kurdistan will be repeated i believe. total of the headline stories this hour egypt is hunting for the militants behind what officials say was the country's deadliest ever terror attack at least three hundred five people including twenty seven children were killed on friday at a mosque in the north sinai region over one hundred others were injured so far no group has claimed responsibility but authorities say the attackers were seen carrying on this law makes the like it's believed between twenty five and thirty gunmen were involved in response egyptian warplanes have been conducting air

strikes on suspected terrorist positions. and it was said to have lost a full twenty minutes as well apart from the scale object brutality of the assault and many were also shot by the choice of target it's said to be the first time we're supposed to have been attacked inside a mosque in egypt it's the country's coptic christians as well as security forces who usually birth the brunt of such violence but it does appear to follow a broader trend in the mideast the mosque where the attack took place was the

birthplace of a revered cleric it's frequented by the followers of sufism which is the inner mystic dying mention of islam they are considered to be heretics by islamist fundamentalists the result often targeted by extremist groups we spoke to middle east analyst martin j. about the assault he thinks there will be a concerted effort by the egyptian government to deal with extremism in the sinai region to prevent similar attacks happening again. it's interesting and it's significant that mosques may well be know a future trend in egypt or or in the in the sinai province i think this particular mosque in the sinai though which was known to be a supporter of c.c. and susie's and seized his crackdown on terrorism that probably put it in the firing line as an alternative strand of islam and i think that was another statement so a double whammy of four four i saw or i still feel it two groups and so i know

we'll have to wait and see whether that program extends itself will see a much more intelligent a more focused campaign to deal with this terrorism of the root cause and also i think the interruption government are working very closely with israel and they'll put a lot of pressure on hamas now to not have anything to do with this group there are still a few tunnels in operation in terms of transporting of arms and hamas will also be on the radar the. u.s. regulators say there are plans to revoke so-called net neutrality rules have widespread public backing the move would lead to a two tier internet swear some sites pay to get their traffic prioritized over others but it seems not all the public feedback was genuine. seeing this is pretty annoying and if net neutrality is rolled back in the us people will be seeing a lot more of it is 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 thorough cheese will matter and 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 people to submit comments and twenty two million replied the majority in favor of repealing net neutrality problem is some users starting 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 won't be even bigger than that one data scientist claims he's found at least one point three million fake pro repeal comments he noticed repetitive language looking as if it was generated by 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. . yet we have asked the federal communications commission to comment on the investigation into those allegations of fake comments of foreign meddling if we get a response we'll tell you all about it. an experiment simulating a mission to the moon has just ended in russia half a dozen crew members spent just over two weeks isolated on confined to a mock spacecraft project sirius was partly funded by the americans space agency nuff said.

you. it is. yes so far so good this is the first stage of the experiments next year participants will spend around four months in a simulated space then end twenty nineteen that isolation is going to double to eight months on the final stage is expected to last for around

a full year it is hoped the results will help pave the way for anyone to travel into space in the not too distant future. soon 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 or normals scientists that don't have an 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 go through this kind of formal you know nasa or russian astronaut and cosmonaut training. eagar kaufman is from now says human research program he highlighted some of the benefits of cooperation with russia so

nasa has a long standing collaboration in the research arena biomedical research with 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 and. allowed to take basically leverage each other's abilities and. only the any make sense to increase or

efficiency in joining our forces and going further together. a deadly day in pakistan six islamist protesters are killed nearly two hundred injured when riot police break up a demonstration over election rights in the country's capital we get into that and more in ninety seconds. was not be surprised if a deal is made 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 name a. 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 put those two together you have the biggest creditor taking some of the u.s. . government guaranteed and you may freddie back to all the people who are owing

money on those games. chinese landlords. was it to buy americans. own fortunate the life support of some. in the. making and see. you're back with the r t international american tech giants are being asked to help the country's immigration authorities it's reported they are planning to vet the social media accounts of people who are seeking these with more on what is proposed here starting the scale of baqubah. 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 for 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 asked 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 us 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 us give us a way to 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 kaleb mop and r.t. new york well u.s. journalist derek brew is saying is that people should be aware of what can be done

with your details. it's worth noting and 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. somewhere putin signed a new legislation that will require some media outlets to register as foreign agents in russian it comes in response to similar moves against r.t.m. america in the u.s. with more here surmount calls for it. the russian law is similar to the american foreign agents registration act or faroe and requires the outlets to disclose the details about their activity and financial information and this is all in response to the united states him acting their law against arts in america who was forced to

register as a foreign agent in the united states just last week answer months of pressure from washington now our channel was accused of serving as a tool off alleged russian influence during the twenty sixteen presidential race however no evidence of that has been provided arms of the new law in russia and the media outlets funded by foreign states operating here may be designated a foreign agent by the justice ministry and they will have to put a disclaimer on all of its publications including online that it comes indeed from a foreign agent say they refuse to do that their activity in russia will be stopped now earlier russia's ministry of justice warns u.s. funded outlets the voice of america and radio liberty all for the possibility of them having to register as foreign agents here in russia. you may think you've come across some interesting military innovations but how about the soviet bottle moose

it certainly got the media in finland fired up although some basic fact checking might have saved them the worry. thank you.

thanks. well the initial article was published in the russian magazine popular mechanics this is. but i think about one of the photos used in this article a partially real photo of the moose was taken by a friend of mine that's a moose farm one of the red army soldiers is me i'm standing with my but it was the camera on the right having taken this photo we later combined it with a photo of the move. a museum has been opened in fill in 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 fool's day joke. but who knows what will see a moose on the battlefield that is all the news for i'll see you again in half an hour's time here on r t international stay with us.
