protests in several european capitals look at what's led to such a dire humanitarian situation in the country. brussels the protest against slavery descends into riots. one hundred people arrested. washington apparently promises to cut weapons supplies to the kurdish allies fighting i saw in syria seen as a move to appease turkey white house though is reluctant to give any details. and number of deaths in an attack on a mosque in egypt rises to over three hundred with the government saying.

thanks for joining us here live from moscow just gone up five am here in the capital. welcome to the program and demonstrators across europe have been voicing their anger over modern day slavery in libya it comes in the wake of reports of migrants and refugees being captured and sold for as little as four hundred dollars . that. was was. more the issues of exploitation slavery and human trafficking the will race the one the french president traveled to give me earlier in the week speaking to the press

condemned the illicit activities while guinea's president noted that libya lacks the resources to tackle such abuses so. what has been revealed beyond everything we have said to know 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 look at question see the european union cannot choose a developing country and ask their country to detain refugees when it doesn't even have the means to do so if 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 previously been very critical of the actions of the un backed libyan government in addressing the issue of slavery. or looks at some of the causes of the human rights cross 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 fact 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 it was stolen from africa and now deceased slavery again inside africa. it's absolutely disgusting 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 itself this 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 about his demise and urging the country to pursue a democracy a protest against slavery have also taken place in brussels where they descended into vandalism and looting almost one hundred people were arrested that's according to the belgian interior minister. demonstrators disrupted the event and went on a rampage through the city's main shopping street damaged property and police cars

witnesses reported seeing police helicopters in the area and a metro station near where the unrest took place was also shut down for a couple of hours. now the american president has apparently agreed to stop supplying weapons to kurdish why p.z. fight is currently battling islamic state in syria turkey's foreign minister says donald trump made the pleasure in a phone call to his country's leader. mr trump clearly stated that he had given clear instructions not to provide the way p.g. with arms and that this nonsense should have ended long ago for the white house whoever was less forthcoming about the conversation it confirmed the call did take place but didn't mention the kurds specifically it simply said trump informed the one about upcoming adjustments to the military support being provided to america's partners on the ground in the country however whether those adjustments will affect washington support for the kurds specifically wasn't actually made explicit now the

u.s. of course over the years has been sending various types of weapons to kurdish forces also supporting their military operations with air strikes it's been a major sticking point though between the u.s. and turkey which considers some kurdish forces to be terrorists journalist and current affairs analyst hugh ozment believes we're seeing a repeat of what happened in iraq. because the ship that the united states has put together for the purpose of it was just to and i saw and the kurds proved to be a very good fighting force in this and 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 air in this city in kurdistan will be repeated i believe. now

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 i was at a mosque in the north sinai region over one hundred others were injured so far no group has claimed responsibility or thirty's though say the attackers were seen carrying an islamic state flag it's believed between twenty five and thirty mosques gunmen were involved in response egyptian warplanes have been conducting air strikes on suspected terrorist positions.

apart from the scale and brutality of the assault many were also shocked by the choice of target is said to be the first time worshippers have been tacked inside a mosque in egypt is the country's coptic christians as well as security forces who usually bear the brunt of such violence it does appear to follow a broader trend in the middle east. 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 mystical dimension of islam they are considered to be heretics by islamic fundamentalists and as a result of them targeted by extremist groups and we spoke to middle eastern analyst martin j. about the assault he thinks there will now be a concerted effort by the egyptian government to deal with extremism in the region to prevent similar attacks happening again it's interesting and it's significant that mosques may well be no a future trend in egypt or or in the in the sinai province i think this particular

mosque in the sinai. which was known to be a supporter of c.c. and susie's and ceases crackdown on terrorism that probably put it in the florida line as an alternative strand of islam and i think there was another statement so a double whammy of four for 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 injection goldman 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. now u.s. regulators say their plans to revoke so-called net neutrality rules have widespread public backing the move could lead to a two tier internet where some sites pay to get their traffic prioritized over others it seems as though not all public feedback was actually 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 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 thora cheese won't 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 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. now we have approached the federal communications commission for comments on the investigation into those allegations of fake comments and foreign meddling will get you an update when they do respond to. an experiment simulating a mission to the moon has just finished in russia half a dozen crewmembers just over two weeks isolated and confined to a mock space craft the project was called serious it was partly funded by the american space agency nasa.

now what you saw there was just the first stage of the experiments the next year

participants will spend about four months simulated in space then in twenty nineteen the isolation will last for eight months with the final stage expected to last around the year his hope the results will help pave the way for anyone to travel into space into 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 cause much training i spoke earlier to igor kauffman he's from nasa is human research program he highlighted some of the benefits of cooperation with russia. so nasa has a long standing. collaboration with the research reno biomedical research where 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 and 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. allow take basically leverage each other's

abilities and it's only eleven makes sense to increase or efficiency in joining our forces and going further together. now american tech giants are being asked to help the country's immigration authorities it's reported they're planning to get the social media accounts vetted of people who want visas well known and what's reposed is kaleb more pay. 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 as secret region is a key component of the intel communities multi fabric cloud strategy 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 russian 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 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 artsy new york and we're going to take of u.s. journalist rick bros he says people should be more of well what can be done with the data. 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. in 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. of having a potent has assigned and you know just lation that will require some media outlets to register as foreign agents here in russia it comes in response to similar moves against r.t. america and the united states hears it on course that if with more. the russian law is similar to the american foreign agents registration act or fair and requires the outlets to disclose the details about their activity and financial information and this is all in response to the united states in their acting their law against 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 under the new law in russia and a media outlet funded by and for in state operating here may be designated

a foreign agent by the justice ministry and they will have to put a disclaimer on all of these publications including online that it comes indeed from a foreign agent refused to do that their activity in russia will be stopped now earlier russia's ministry of justice warned us on the voice of america and radio liberty of the possibility of them having to register as foreign agents here in russia. it was a kind of a now where police have trained forty four people have a right wing protest in quebec on saturday the protest was met by a counter-demonstration riot police had to use tear gas to keep the two sides apart nearly four hundred members of far right organizations marched on a convention center where a meeting of the governing quebec liberal party was taking place almost two hundred fifty anti-racism anticapitalist activists staged a rival protest at the same location quebec police say they made arrests in order

to prevent clashes in addition disguises clubs slingshots and bottles with unknown liquids were confiscated from demonstrators. and the pakistani government has ordered the all me to be deployed to the country's capital islamabad after six people were reportedly killed in clashes the violence erupted when police forcibly dispersed the group of is the most protesters the activists had been blocking key roads in the city for nearly three weeks. was. was. was was was. was was. was

was thousands of police officers took part in the operation to disperse the demonstrators the hard line islamists were opposed to a legal move that would have allowed non muslim candidates to stand in elections they were also demanding that the current justice minister step down. now you may think you've come across some interesting military innovations but how about the soviet battle most certainly got the media in finland fired up although some basic fact checking might have saved them from the war. at the bank. the be

. now there was published in the russian magazine popular mechanics we caught up with the hot in the story. but the graphic 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 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 moose a museum has been opened in finland this year which is dedicated to the winter war

and there is a hole there featuring the 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. or they can get more of that story and more of course on our website or on social media i'll be back with more headlines from around the world at six am moscow time so you that. eighteen years ago i tried to get to one of my family members he would have better a lot better and i think they are inheriting when i buy my baby this is my book was published in the year two thousand more than half

a million americans have been killed by the fall of the u.s. where how does the team yes we did this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves in real scenarios it was interesting to see people who actually got here. to the subject to try. for making unsafe. lexington in the central east of the united states it is within this city with a population of three hundred thousand at the university of kentucky can be found. it is barely nine in the morning david and brandon two first year students are in the middle of a video game. jewel as a warm up before the first match of the season for their university's american football team the wildcats are going to drink
