that's. the preparing for moscow amnesty international says e.u. countries much of the blame for the cruel treatment enjoyed by migrants in libya. we believe they. know we call the police state system with a few second torture all the refugees and my friend said he. was donald trump congratulate jewish people on one of his biggest holidays his recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital and yet more violence in the region right now i'm thinking about what's going on and the love that's all over israel and all about jerusalem. from tears to g.-d. is an american boy's heart felt video about being bullied at school seems an outpouring of sympathy swiftly drawing up now after his mother's pictured with

a racially provoking to confederate flag. wednesday thirteenth of december my name's kevin i would this is about international thanks for watching the first this amnesty international is accusing e.u. governments of condoning the detention and abuse of migrants trying to reach europe from libya we believe they are knowingly complicity in a system of abuse and torture of refugees and migrants. and because they know exactly what is going on and they have chills and to support. a system of detention and that. of migrants without putting in place and the safeguards correspondent nic here on our outline the details about honesty's claims he in a bit more detail. last year member states launched

a series of measures they made at cutting off the central mediterranean route through libya but to report by amnesty international says that these steps are in fact actively supporting a system of exploitation and abuse of the vulnerable people they should be helping and they have video evidence to back their claims to these are rescue boats that even countries supplied to the libyan coast guard to intercept migrants at sea honesty says that this is the moment someone that had been rescued was thrown overboard and towed along the sea while here we see someone else being whipped. thank you it was she was i was struck up. my. was my.

this particular boat was donated by italy i can april and was handed over to the libyan coast guard in a ceremony attended by the italian interior minister who'd have thought it would one day be the focal point of accusations of human rights violations and then there is the detention center after being rescued at sea migrants are taken to the society's run by the libyan department for combat saying illegal migration with the full support of e.u. countries in the words of honesty is heavier than they are exposed to a soul destroying cycle of exploitation added to cause for bruising thought uprising to all our producers for business in libya to kill some people this or some people would be something we did a petition. for to ease. the use going to be tossed out finish it's going to be toast being before so as to sneak it was sort of water to drink

for limited to us and. a level of abuses. these people leaving feel. there is no war or food that provided that unless you can pay for it we've interviewed several people who. said that the way the why their families were on the phone in order to extort the money for the torture to stop and for them to be released that. and this is just the ordinary daily life in these sand that the rights group wants european go. ments to rethink that cooperation with libya when it comes to migration is that if they continue to support libyan or thora tease european governments are laying bare what their true priority is putting the closure of the central mediterranean route before the welfare of the rebel people meantime

a report by the european commission of the blocks programs in libya stressed the need to shut down smuggling and human trafficking in the country it went on to say that the e.u.'s efforts have a stronger human rights component and it conducted in cooperation with the un refugee agency r.t. r several institutions to comment on the allegations against e.u. governments including the italian foreign ministry one reply we got was from the un secretary general's deputy spokesman he expressed concern over the situation in libya and stressed the need for the proper resettlement of migrants we also heard two back from oxfam they said they can't comment on amnesty's findings but their own information does indicate the report holds water. as that stop of regular migration at all costs the e.u. has sacrificed people's safety and well being violating the obligations of respect and protection of human rights that's a view shared by international relations professor. if you're getting a number of reports from credible sources including u.n.

agencies that there are systematic abuses that that is and and i think it's clear that there are italy has to then 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 e.c.g.'s isn't it is not right that countries major powers unstable a situation and then later on complain that. there are mass migration movements from some war and other difficulties. promoting peace 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 of a sense. of. people

. trust decisions been heavily criticized by european and arab leaders but that doesn't seem to be troubling the u.s. leader as khaled mopin explains. 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 i'm thinking about what's going on and the love that's all over his you know and all about jerusalem love that's all over israel trump one is far is 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 office i will 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 not according to this poll taken ahead of trump's decision sixty three percent of americans say that they oppose the move but it's popular in israel right well not with all israelis they think of only friends leave in years and they. are in much greater risk than they were with i think it will

because of. people dead and. violence i think it was a reckless this season and it takes less time to announce it is like a man who was playing in a coma defeated or in the. in gangsta. so it's taking us three still suddenly and is shooting over friends tell me it's a day he announced that they're pretty much scared to go but the drizzling because they don't know how it's going to be and they're scared to leave the house says 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 is refund on 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 us embassy to this decision is long overdue and helps correct a decades long indignity there may be benefits for him personally may be

a tipping his hat to his base and say you know this is a campaign promise that i made he sees it work or for his personal legacy for his supporters to do this regardless of its effect on world opinion regardless of its effect in the united states and world opinion and regarding the suffix of palestine. people the world is not happy with the move america is not happy with the move but donald trump thinks it's terrific a year ago at his inauguration donald trump said that from here forward it would be america first well it's starting to look like maybe it's trump first. r.t. new york so if you have people very unhappy at the move the turkish president early described israel as a terrorist state says he hosted muslim world leaders in istanbul shot to do been skiis more of the emergency session of the organization of islamic cooperation.

let's start with some of his comments from today at that extraordinary meeting of fifty seven members of muslim countries across continents president want to say jerusalem is occupied so the decision by don't talk doesn't have any legitimacy a tour he described israel as being a terrorist state a state where soldiers killed ten year old children he also brought out a map of palestine and showed how the palestinian territories have decreased since nine hundred forty seven and israel's borders have increased in the time and he said that this decision by don't trump does one thing incredibly badly it harms any peace negotiations between the palestinians and the israelis and he called on all the actions to rise up against this decision and to recognize jerusalem as being the capital of the palestinian occupied territories and not israel. this decision. illegal settlement displacement.

not you know the way of land. violence israel is being in a way awarded for all the actions they have commissioned and this process being alluded to israel by president trump well also that meeting was a chance for the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas to address those fifty seven countries he talked about the fact that this decision by don't trump could be taken in the hands of extremists and they could use this decision to turn what he described as being a political struggle into a religious one now he also talked about the u.s. is role as a mediator between israel and palestine. the united states has chosen to lose its cool. and this qualifies itself from playing a role in the peace process we should not accept any wrote us please. well donald

trump is often called a divisive figure ever since that was elected us president a year ago however it does appear that you succeeded in doing one thing and that is uniting our nations against him by making this decision. it's exactly a month now since our to america had to register as a foreign agent in the us after being pressured by the authorities the other time though the state department sure wouldn't affect our team's ability to cover the news but then fast forward just a couple of weeks later where they give a press credentials they were revoked by us congress so we asked the state department to clarify the position of the situation when mark 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 see impacts or a fact the ability of them 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 were 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 dead stripped of their capitol hill press credentials only after russia was accused of meddling in the us presidential election after washington's measures of 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. major legal analysts law and told us that all to he was being targeted he thought as part of the ongoing blame game against russia what does that mean well it wasn't necessarily revoked by congress or members of congress but the association so elected 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. r t v was yanked because it's russian whether you're russian own eighty percent or there why should media it's that teach you a lesson it's part of this nonsense that started when people were trying to figure

out a way to explain in a way that hillary. clinton lost the election i won they didn't have anybody to blame they picked russia so it just kept building and everything that's russian foreign agent this is an espionage statute from now you take thirty eight whatever what is this you know what your right it is strange code where the newspaper with holes in it like a spy oh come on this is embarrassing. line coming up to full boys video plea against his school bullies remember that a couple of days ago will know it's to full circle on an internet backlash against his mother we'll tell you what a website but after the break it's. what

politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president should. we somehow want to. let you go right to be this is what the. real people are. interested always in the war.

again thanks for watching out international those isolated minutes past three moscow time an american mother has learned about internet fame the hard way after sharing a video of her eleven year old son tearfully talking about being bullied at school now that clip you may recall a couple days ago when the source celebrities rallied his support to ok but then the tide quickly turned again no photos of his mother of jacqueline bluegill tell you all about. it make fun about. copping out. right before letter dear friends don't criticize. their phone this heart wrenching video of an eleven year old boy from tennessee speaking out about being bullied by his classmates took the internet by storm keeping story got a millions of views and it up trending on twitter under its own hash tag of support a fund raising campaign was set up in keaton's name garnering almost sixty thousand

dollars in just two days he became a center of attention with actors athletes and showbiz stars reaching out to keaton the bullies won't win 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 go to me before he knew it keating himself had turned into a celebrity something he hadn't expected in the least. but. good. making a difference in the world gave 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 a 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 keaton jones's video so every show is his mom and 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 funny didn't have any to do was no racist and no no absolutely not i've said i spent most of my life being weighed 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 for 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. president trump's been telling congress how many u.s.

troops are stationed abroad but the by annual white house reports left some pretty key figures in the sections on afghanistan iraq and syria not a single number that was given the troop numbers were disclosed for jordan and lebanon now the admitted figures so they have bit of surprise then given the fact that the pentagon did apparently reveal that just a couple of months ago we have approximately eleven thousand troops in afghanistan and that is seen in our addition of over three thousand u.s. troops arrived in now and in the coming months the number for iraq is fifty two hundred and the number for serious shootouts talk a few months ago to surprise a few months ago to where the white house figures on troop involvement of broad mention soldiers stationed in the jail then several u.s. lawmakers had no idea they were there 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 no i did not former u.s. congressman ron paul told us the lack of transparency is not surprising. 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 as many as forty four thousand american troops stationed across the world are not being tracked by the pentagon according to the u.s. military general stars and stripes it claims that around three hundred thousand u.s. personnel are operating in more than one hundred fifty countries we got in touch with the u.s. defense to put department they said that. having an unknown location because they may for example be at sea i think that its data center may not accurately reflect

the current force totals ron paul again says that explanation doesn't wash that's their excuse but that should not happen and in a republic i mean people are supposed to know what's going on most every country in the world is imperfect including ours but our immediate goal should be to improve our sales 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 for problems to problem solving next to high tech event to mosco seed money machine working in perfect harmony for new devices to help people disabilities does the next level face recognition software does little kids when to try some of the gadgets on show. 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 to brainstorm their ideas and showcase what they have to offer. there's a real emphasis here on a virtual reality and anything digital force of russians drive for a high technology economy yuri i find it so what is this operators here to. eat can detect your emotions and reality it and what can it actually be used for in real life it can be useful for events are for marketing the print project that i'm hungry breakfast salvi do we can do it or maybe in the future maybe.

from virtual three d. simulators and sports psychology software to robotics some 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 reading books 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 forty signals to identify and tackle psychological pressures were used to do this is a stress test we can train a person to lower their own stress know to control the eventually to get rid of their own food because this particular device has already been put to use while others if they impress enough may soon see use in our own day to day lives and it

will be insanity moscow yes. bright minds that were there thanks so much for this news when i was kevin owen here moscow today the next live update just over thirty minutes from now. six guys are financial survival. when customers go by you're reduced. to now well reduce and lower. that's undercutting but what's good for market is not good for the global economy. when lawmakers manufactured incentives to public wealth. when the room in closest to protect themselves. with the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. with no middle room six. million new.

troops seems wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days becomes active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

greetings and salutation with the holiday season now firmly upon us and money flying out of our pockets for food gifts and sparkly lights most us citizens are also busy hoarding their receipts this time of year as well because after santa makes his rounds in the mangers and menorahs are put back into storage we all know that after the new year the tax man is coming right around the corner but unlike the rest of us one united states institution has never had to keep track of their receipts or answer the auditor's calls despite a newly receiving hundreds of billions and us tax dollars and having more than two trillion in assets and i bet i bet you can't guess what department that is that has it so easy. yeah your favorite in the department of defense yes according to lore of the us war department in all its decade after decade after

decade after decade after decade long history has never ever faced an audit or accounting of its obscene really large books. that is until. like a christmas gift from peacenik hippie sanam self the pentagon the biggest vacuum of u.s. tax dollars on the planet with little to no actual oversight is finally just like the rest of us going to have to account for its spending habits dana w. white the chief pentagon spokesperson the u.f.c. ultimate fighting champion president declare that the audit demonstrates our commitment to fiscal responsibility and maximizing the value of every taxpayer dollar that isn't trusted to us he guessed that notorious pentagon fiscal responsibility you know the one goal responsibility that brought us the f. thirty five spending disaster that hit that brilliant physical responsibility that

misplaced six point five trillion of our tax dollars is that the fiscal responsibility you're speaking about mr pentagon spokesperson white held according to a new report by the defense manpower data center our friends in the pentagon apparently can't even keep track of their actual physical soldiers stars and stripes is reporting that forty four thousand known military personnel are stationed around the world forty four thousand they don't know where they are they just know they're somewhere around the world they don't even know who they are. let's break out the calculators and pocket protectors ladies and gentlemen as the department of defense gets its much needed audit as we start watching the hawks. but that's. the bottom.
