so help us out across the. headlines in r.t. amnesty international says e.u. countries bear much of the blame for the cruel treatment enjoyed by migrants in libya. we believe they know we need complicity in a system of abuse and torture refugees and migrants have even. a deadly explosion at a major gas harbor in austria puts europe on alert as energy prices soar and italy declares a state of emergency and also to come this hour vocal moved from playing to his jerusalem move would bring peace to the region is being daily violent ever since leading critics suggest the u.s. leader might be the only winner in the situation.

but i welcome you watching at international this wednesday morning which just turned eight o'clock here in moscow now amnesty international is accusing the governments of condoning the detention and abuse of migrants trying to reach europe from libya. we believe they knowingly complicity in a system of abuse and torture of refugees and migrants in the back because they know exactly what is going on and they have chills and to support. the system of detention and their view of migrants without. placing any safeguards in the report says that e.u. countries are assisting libyan coast guard providing it with training and vessels but amnesty as reporters video said to show abuse on board those rescue ships one

of the videos allegedly shows a refugee being thrown off a boat and then being towed along the picture is going to show migrants being whipped with a rope. oh. yes . this. was a mistake he says the vessel in the video there was donated by a level of abusing. these navy that shaped the way their families where every institution is to comment on the allegations against governments we're all expressed concern over this it settlement of migrants and and i think it's clear that there are italy has to do and the european union has to say well we're not going to send these people back to libya and we're going to find some way to give them a safe haven whether they're whether or not they are economic migrants or if you

choose to try to help with the resettlement isn't is not right their country's major powers. destabilize the situation and then later on complain that. there are mass migration movements from some war and other difficulties so the whole world will have to join together first of all not to. use force in an indiscriminate matter manner or in ill advised ways and to make sure that people have job opportunities etc because a lot of people i mean they take enormous risks to cross the mediterranean so many deaths that happened and they want to be leaving unless situations very dire. promoting pace that was the declared purpose when donald trump recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel but so far there's been nonstop violence across the region .

well trouble's decision has been heavily criticized by european and arab leaders but that doesn't seem to trouble the u.s. leader this kind of market expects. well it's now the time of year in which israel celebrates hanukkah and this comes after donald trump's dramatic decision on jerusalem which may seem like a huge gift we wish you a very happy hanukkah. and i think this one will go down as especially special. right now in thinking about what is going on and the love that's all over israel. and all about jerusalem trump one as far as

actually praising himself for the all but controversial move his point his predecessors only made promises where he actually delivered. jerusalem is still the capital of israel and most remain unknown divided city accessible questions that take us as i would begin the process of moving the united states ambassador to the city in israel and shows. i continued to say that. jerusalem will be the capital of israel so why is tom so gleeful about his decision as the international community praised him for it nope they dangerous decision we do know and agree clearly disagree these decisions i'm hopeful from the european union member states sites this move will not come so is it what the american people want well hording to this decision sixty three percent of americans say that they oppose the move i think of all my friends leaving yours and i think it will because i think it was

a reckless this seems like a man who was playing sort of staking us freestone suddenly in this shooting oh my friends tell me in the day he announced that they're pretty much scared to to go but the jerusalem because they don't know how it's going to be and they're scared to leave the house says so just who is happy with the move well there's the american israel lobby there's christian evangelicals and there's the guys over at that all right web site breitbart now that's not the biggest group of loyal trump east us but trump did win over some of his harsh critics in the democratic camp. jerusalem is the capital of the state of israel something the united states congress has reaffirmed and a fact of history that cannot be tonight i support the decision to recognize jerusalem as the eternal capital of israel and to move the u.s. embassy that this decision is long overdue and helps correct a decades long indignity there may be benefits for him personally he may be.

tipping his hat to his base and saying you know this is a campaign promise that i made it's the same as what he's going to a lot of areas he's pushed much much further than where the public wants to go or what is in the interest of the united states and that's that's the hallmark of the trumpet ministration you know and. i think that's the real reason he sees it more important for his personal legacy for his supporters to do this regardless of its effect on world opinion regarding the pinion and regardless of its effect on the palestinian but it would be america first well it's starting to look like maybe it's trump first. meanwhile president trump has been telling congress time when u.s. troops are stationed abroad but the bi annual white house reporters left out sin came figures in the sections on afghanistan iraq and syria not

a single number was given but treat numbers were disclosed to jordan and lebanon the emitted think is a something of a surprise given that the us defense secretary apparently revealed them himself a few months ago. we have approximately eleven thousand troops in afghanistan and that is seen in our addition of over three thousand u.s. troops arriving now and in the coming months for the afghan troops that are currently without the number for iraq is sixty to two hundred and the number for serious two tasks however the surprise is six months ago to when the white house figures on troop involvement to brood mentions soldiers stationed in the seven u.s. will make has had no idea that they were that former u.s. congressman roemer poll told us the level of transparency isn't surprising but i didn't know there was a thousand troops in niger you heard senator graham there he didn't know we had a thousand troops in the air did you know i didn't know it well i'm fortunately we

don't like surprises it's sort of the routine especially with the new administration because the president has stated that he wants to keep everything under his best under his vest because he doesn't want people to know and he believes that's proper policy but it's not good good law because the constitution says he's not a lot of send troops around the world without the people in the congress knowing about it is because it's very difficult especially if they say well this is secret we can't let the people know we can't let the enemy know where our troops are so they put the american people in the category of the enemy because we're not a lot of no and so it's really a government out of control but it's what's that what they what this reflects is a foreign policy that there are institute ron paul institute disagrees with we don't think it's in our interest we don't think it's an interest of our security and we don't believe this brings peace and we don't bring it proper asperity so we have practical reasons and legal reasons why we don't think these troops should be

over see and if there is any of them overseas we should know exactly where they are because who knows they may be shooting off guns and bombs and drones and getting ourselves into a mess that we don't want to be en. well as many as forty four thousand american troops stationed across the world are not being tracked by the pentagon at all waiting to the u.s. military june all stars and stripes and it claims to you that around three hundred thousand u.s. personnel are operating in more than one hundred fifty countries we did get in touch with the u.s. defense department which told us that some personnel are marked as having an unknown location because they may for example be it c. adding that its data center may not accurately reflect the current force totals ron paul though says that explanation won't do. that's their excuse but that should not happen in a republic i mean the people who are supposed to know what's going on the people

who are supposed to speak out the people are supposed to tell their members of congress when we should get involved in hostilities and once again it's a theory of what our responsibilities are around the world most every country in the world is imperfect including ours but our immediate goal should be to improve ourselves and not pretend that we can tell other people how to live and who should run their countries even though there are plenty of problems around but i don't think other people like us to take this role of secretly putting troops around the world and interfering in saying well we're we're going to improve your governments and we're going to tell you what to do if you don't do what we want we're going to put sanctions on you. now a huge explosion at a major gas hub in austria has sent shock waves through european energy markets with fuel prices spiking at a four year high it's lee is the worst affected and has declared

a state of emergency supply shortages the baumgarten gas plant in austria distributes natural gas from russia all over europe including germany france and hungary the blast there is said to have been caused by a technical fault killing one and injuring more than a dozen others die earlier the headline crack shut down a key north sea pipeline network it comes amid a severe cold snap they would cross europe with demand for fuel surging. meanwhile u.s. officials have again been warning against the so-called russian monopoly on natural gas supplies in europe at a congress hearing assistant secretary of state wes mitchell singled out the north stream to the pipeline which is currently being built between russia and germany to sort of point to a nor'easter and to you this is a project that would concentrate seventy five percent. the russian gas to europe into one pipeline so it's not in europe's interests it's not in our interests it's

also a political rather than a commercial undertaking and i think it's important to be crystal clear about that because north to would go through danish waters this is a potentially significant political and legal stumbling block that could really slow progress on the pipeline it's a positive development that we applaud and we've really coordinated closely with the danes the credit goes to did mark for moving in this direction but i think it's consistent with european or just purely i just wish we could get germans and other large e.u. member states to see the same way. and call them escape boy field from the center for political studies told us that the u.s. is trying to seize our largest share of the euro pain gas market. u.s. producers are looking to their own bottom line and that they would like to you know export. l.n.g. liquefied natural gas to europe because they see a commercial opportunity there so you could argue that their strategic.

sort of view about the future of gas supply in europe are also have a certain commercial incentive as well or but they're certainly look looking to increase their exports of liquefied natural gas and looking at their own fracking capacity they're wanting to export it was only until recently that they were importing natural gas now all those ports have been switched to exporting so they're looking across the world including europe to export that gas that they're producing in the states. now and american mothers learnt about internet fame the hard way after sharing a video of her eleven year old son tearfully talking about being bullied at school the clip that you might have seen went viral and saw celebrities rally to support him but the tide did quickly turn when photos of his mother emerge as the story.

that may come about knowing they probably not but. if your letter dear friends don't take back. their phone this heart wrenching view from tennessee speaking out about being borked a fund raising campaign was set up in keaton's name going almost sixty thousand dollars in just two days he became a center of attention with actors athletes and showbiz stars which. keaton the bullies one when i'm with you well those punks at school are deciding what kind of people they want to be in this world how would you and your mom like to come to the avengers premiere in l.a. next year this boy is incredibly brave and they do really got to me before he knew it keaton himself had turned into a celebrity something he hadn't expected in the least. like you know different all in the world give them a voice. but as more attention was focused on keaton the once inspiring story turned sour as his mother kimberly was shifted into the spotlight as people sifted

through her facebook profile they uncovered photos featuring confederate flags and unsympathetic prince. and just as quickly as support had initially flooded in backlash against kimberly hit accusations of racism and possibly using her son's pain for profit became the center of the story i feel pretty stupid or enough people i was pretty moved by jones's video sure restructures mom she just wants money she just wants me to share her go fund me account responding to the outrage kimberly tried to shift the focus back to the issue of bullying by saying that the photo of the confederate flag was meant to be ironic it was ironic it was that any good nobody to do was no racist and no no absolutely not i've said i spent most of my life being. and and judged because i wasn't racist but that didn't seem to work social media right now is mostly buzzing about how she's using her son to get cash as her the account created to support keating it's not clear whether

he'll get the money or not it's frozen at the moment so look or so a few days the internet went from supporting a victim of bulling to condemning his allegedly racist mother oh how quickly the tables have turned. now it is exactly a month since artie america had to register as a foreign agent in the us stuff being pressured by the authorities at the time the state department did assure us it wouldn't affect our ability to cover the news but a couple of weeks later we had our press credentials revoked by the us congress so america asked the state department to clarify the situation when art he was forced to register as a foreign agent and you said that it would inhibit our ability to report when the united states tells someone to register under a foreign agent requirement we don't impacts. a fact the ability. to report. news and information we just have the register it's as simple as that

just a couple weeks ago our press credentials were revoked so doesn't this contradict your earlier statement i think i think press credentials may have been revoked by congress and not necessarily the members of congress but rather the association of reporters that handles who gets to come in and cover congress after basically directing my question to congress she played the russian card as a representative of the russian government in fact the fact that you are here as a representative of the russian government is a perfect example of how we do not not restrict any type of freedom of the press this all comes after r.t. america was forced to register as a foreign agent stripped of their capitol hill press credentials only after russia was accused of meddling in the us presidential election after washington's measures russia actually designated several media outlets funded by the us government as foreign agents but it seems after this whole exchange that the state department is

unwilling to keep its word and is now trying to just shift blame it to avoid taking responsibility samir khan reporting will media and legal on this line all things that are so he was targeted as part of a blame game against russia. what does that mean well it wasn't necessarily revoked by congress or members of congress but the association selected by the members of congress to determine who covers congress why does this is double speak you know exactly what the question was why did you revoke our press credentials why that was the question russia t.v. our t.v. was yanked because it's russian whether your russian own eighty percent or their russian media it's that teacher will last that it's part of this nonsense that started where people were trying to figure out a way to explain away that hillary clinton lost the election and why they don't

have anybody there brian they picked russia so it just kept building and everything that's russian foreign agent this is an espionage statute from my state thirty eight whatever what is this you know what you're right it is trench coat where the newspaper with holes in it like a spy oh come on this is embarrassing. another news donald trump will unveil his first national security strategy next monday and russia is likely to be listed as a top threat to you according to the president's national security adviser who facing a threat from russia but involves so-called new generation move for there's a very sophisticated campaigns of subversion and this information and propaganda separately a former u.s. vice president's published an article accusing russia of supporting separatist movements in a number of european countries joe biden you served under barack obama specifically

mentions russia backing italy's populist and euro skeptic five star movement is next year is election looms but party deputy an m.p. manly the phone no says it's easier for rivals to blame russia than face facts. i think that it's just the way to change argument in the public discussion i mean they're losing every time that it is a possibility to lose any election they're losing in against us every time in the finding excuses to say your last four years or for that the russia will win situation you can always say to dinner is russia so they will lose this argument but the reality is that that once you get ten eleven million votes it's not possible that they are just. many by some foreign power so people aren't standing on the stand in the this is a big big theater where everybody's acting

a part so when they lose they lose cause they are not a bit. now high tech event in moscow has seen man and machine working in perfect harmony from new devices to help people with disabilities to some next level face recognition software are the new hawkins went to try out some of the gadgets on show the innovation and practice congress. innovation in practice congress where business meets science and some of the brightest young minds in one of moscow's top universities get to meet leading figures from academia the public and private sector n.g.o.s brainstorm their ideas and showcase what they have to offer. there's a real emphasis here on the virtual reality and anything digital all part of russia's drive for a high technology economy yury high on it so what is this operators here to. eat

can detect your emotions and reality eat and what can it actually be used for in real life it can be useful for events are for marketing. projects but i am hungry because i have a breakfast. be do we can do it or maybe in the future maybe. from virtual three d. simulators and sports psychology software to robotics on rough terrain vehicle prototypes there's something here for everyone and even the opportunity to try some in practice now it's hard to believe but my hand is actually now moving pretty much of it so of course for me this is a really strange feeling but for somebody who might have a spinal injury will be paralyzed this machinery which only has one of our battle over the whole world would be a life changer and the latest technology is used for mind as well as matter like this system which reads body signals to identify and tackle psychological pressures

were used to do this is a stress test or we can train a person to lower their own stress levels to control them and eventually to get rid of their own phobias this particular device has already been put to use while others if they impress enough we may soon see use in our own day to day lives i know wilkins r.t. moscow. so knighting stuff that's how the news looks a fog this morning here now it's a i'm back with more in just over half of. the same wrong oh well we just don't all. get to

shape our day to educate and it. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. level war hawks the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battles they are going. to do socks for the tell you that celebrity gossip and public life for years. has been telling you on the cool enough to buy their product. to me along with all the walking her.
