u.s. regulators voted to scrap net neutrality despite protests in washington critics say the move could create a so-called internet for the elite. president vladimir putin concludes his annual marathon q. and a session with janet something more than seventy questions in almost four hours we've got the main points from last also this hour. palestinian protesters clashed with israeli police in a nonstop wave of banga over jerusalem as the nation's reject the u.s. role in the middle east peace process. you're watching out international live from our moscow studio with me in

a day or two to welcome to the program us regulators have voted to end so-called net neutrality rules which now could significantly alter the web experience for millions of people it will allow internet providers to charge extra to prioritize their traffic effectively creating a slow lane for smaller websites here's a breakdown of how it works we access the web through internet service providers at the moment companies have to treat all online traffic equally but the us federal communications commission says that's preventing websites from investing trillions of dollars in the services and now with net neutrality regulations gone i have peace will be free to charge a premium to prioritize certain apps and services samir khan reports while the f.c.c. his latest decision will repeal obama's regulations that were passed in twenty fifteen and as expected the vote was three to two along party lines with republicans voting in favor of the deregulation order and democrats voting against it but wonder. macwrite

a commissioner who voted against the order made her feelings known and had some very fierce for marks for the committee to say the very least i dissent from this rash decision to roll back net neutrality rules i dissent from the corrupt process that has brought us to this point as a result of today's misguided action our broadband providers will get extraordinary new powers. they will have the power to block websites the power to throttle services and the power to censor online content now our broadband providers will tell you they will never do these things they say just trust us. but know this they have the technical delivery and business incentive to discriminate and manipulate your internet traffic now many are outraged understandably so but with all the backlash this could eventually end up going to court and activists might even pressure congress to overturn the vote but this is a partisan issue so would it really have any effect nonetheless these online

democracy defenders surely lose hope because they aren't exactly without allies thirty nine senators sent a letter to the f.c.c. expressing their discontent representative keith ellison he even spoke at today's protest and they have the resistance on their side representative maxine waters they have quite a strong speech earlier this morning but i asked a few protesters about the issue so let's check out what they have to say ok by ok you see what do i know you really that's the big problem here it's these giant p.c. to think that they have they should have all the advantage and all the decisions to make about what should be content on the internet and it should be a public utility and especially in the twenty first century when you know a lot of communication skills that need to be improved and taught in schools the internet is essential for from your job having a portfolio doing anything you can to get information. in case you see we want to be for you today. part of democracy to have equal

communication people access to communication not just lead but the privileged and the super rich have every advantage in a so called democracy this is going to shut out a lot of small business is a small website and prevents. voices heard and read me from hearing the small voice now with all that being said scrapping net neutrality could very well affect how we surf the web but is it really the death of the internet like some or say well that of course remains to be seen online security expert chris kids told us the net neutrality rules actually favorite big business and scrapping them is a positive step. the problem with that neutrality it's a way for the government to come in and regulate and control the content that's going through the pipes well let's let's look at what happened before they had these net neutrality rules they had no rules and the internet did just fine and

then they impose these rules under president obama and now they're getting rid of these rules now why did they want to impose these rules well if you look at the people who benefit from having everything equally carried if you're netflix and you're literally consuming one third of the internet bandwidth and you want to be charged the same as some small web site to deliver their content of course it makes sense that's why those are the people who are in favor of net neutrality what they did is they dressed it up and try to put it in the class warfare the kind of communist things that you hear about from a lot of people you know who are who are in favor of a lot of regulations and what happened is they just swept away today so it's actually a very good day for the internet i think. the presidents of russia and the u.s. have discussed the north korean u.k. crisis in a phone conversation that's according to a statement from the kremlin kenneth copeland has. reports from moscow are

indicating that a phone call took place between u.s. president donald trump and russia's president vladimir putin and that the phone call was initiated at the request of the united states among the issues discussed was the crisis in the korean peninsula there was recently an escalation of tensions in the aftermath of north korea testing its highest ever reaching a long range missile at the same time in the southern part of the peninsula provocative military drills were being carried out by the united states in coordination with south korean forces we understood that there was a q. and a between russia's president vladimir putin and the press in which he made clear he answered questions about north korea and about the possibility of the us. say and russia working together to resolve the crisis on the korean peninsula do you think that cooperation on north korea could warm up u.s. russia relations. continuously to admit that you are very interesting people have

you noticed that your congressman senators who were nice suits and shirts who seem to be intelligent people they lump us together with north korea and iran but at the same time they push their president to ask us to resolve the iran nuclear deal and the north korean crisis what is wrong with you people those who are optimistic about the possibility of the usa and russia cooperating to resolve the korean crisis should feel even more optimistic about the phone call. now to the russian president's annual q. and a from earlier in the day lattimer putin fielded close to four hours of nonstop and very diverse questions from the press our correspondent with. the things that particularly stude out for me this time is that the share of questions that you might want to call challenging for white america about corruption about the silencing of political opponents in russia was perhaps a bit larger this time then previously he was indeed grilled about the lack of

competition in russian politics and one question came from perhaps his direct poll that a person who wants to become a presidential candidate in russia in twenty twenty subject that's a major issue for those who want to represent that system opposition they have to offer not a short lived and shrill agenda but a real one why is it so difficult to be an authorization maybe the government is frightened the fact competition by the opposition should present a program of positive action that's clear to the public do you want someone with the intentions of a coup d'etat we've seen this already if you want to list the return i'm sure that the overwhelming majority of citizens don't want to let it happen. i mentioned corruption previously and in fact that is one of the things the current russian system of the government is often blamed for and yes a few times corruption was brought up vladimir putin said that he's not satisfied

with what's gone on he was asked specifically about corruption in law enforcement agencies the russian president says that people are being charged and there are investigations some people are being put in prison including government officials but he complained that new people comment things don't change but here's what he suggested in this particular sphere but if you notice the work you threw in the that. it's not a secret but it's a tough question and i can't say that i'm satisfied with how this work is being done one solution i can think of is like we have an army we have rotation and someone serves for three or five years in one place then they are transferred somewhere else so maybe it makes sense to organize something like that in law enforcement to then the russian president went back to russia stance which has remained the same for quite a while that is calling on all sides to were framed from hostile actions i think

this indeed sums up the highlights of the events for everything else you can go to our website and you tube channel other questions and answers by vladimir putin are available there. and of course president putin gave answers to some of the major issues and events of twenty seventeen including allegations of collusion with the band of team russia from the winter olympics. how would you explain to americans the sheer number of contacts between the trump can be and your government took pretty do when it was all made up by the people in opposition to trump in order to add illegitimacy to his work i can on. mostly say i find it strange it was made to almost appear like they had no knowledge this would damage the country's domestic politics and deplete the ability of the elected head of state means that they do not respect the voters who cast their ballots in

trump's favor trump's victory is entirely by inable through a fair number of well known social and political trends and had nothing to do with russia so yes there was a deliberate kind of attempt to blame russia rather than to engage in any kind of internal reflection or discussion about what actually happened in the election and why it was that clinton didn't win and it's still going on. you know you have to make your good my colleagues and i have said that it's obvious that the scandal was inflated to fit russia's domestic political calendar and no matter what anyone says just know that's the case but at the same time we should blame ourselves we gave a reason for these accusations they have indeed been cases of doping now there have

been such cases in other countries but they're not surrounded by this politicized uproar so there's no doubt that there is a political motivation behind it it does seem that russia has been singled out that you know there's a lot of doping going on across and then pick sports in the crosspost in general but it does seem that you know this word state sponsored has been used in relation to russia to justify a ban on the whole team and on the russian flag and as today president putin said you know we bear a share of the guilt. and i think that's quite interesting because it creates a different impression it's much less defensive and it's in a way it's. creates a better impression i think than saying no no no we're totally without any plan. despite being essentially defeated in syria the military situation remains tense

it's been revealed that russian and american get involved in yet another close encounter daniel hawkins reports the incident took place in eastern syria near the town of dean which is in the province of de resort on the euphrates river it involved at least two russian jets and at least one american jet now what the russian ministry of defense is saying that two su twenty five. escorting a humanitarian convoy to the western side of the euphrates river the controlled by the syrian government backed up by the russian air force when they were approached by a f. twenty two american stealth fighter now the russian minister of defense spokesman said this fighter fired flares and used the rest of. us to imitate a dogfight hampering the mission of the su twenty five at this point the russians say the su thirty five one of russia's most advanced fighter jets approached the f. twenty two at which point the american plane swiftly left the area now what the

americans are saying is quite different they say that they deployed two twenty two fighter jets to actually ward off the two russian jets who they say had crossed the euphrates line into the de confliction though that zone established by the u.s. military and the russian military who it's worth noting of course are in syria without and with the syrian government's consent to avoid any such incident so they say it was the russians that were at fault for an incident they say last about forty minutes and put their own forces at risk. now it's worth noting that the u.s. and russian leaders have to have open channels of communication between themselves precisely to stop such incidents happening the concern though. is that as the fires against eisel against other jarvis groups has narrowed in syria this is war these powers these actors these air forces into closer and closer proximity both sides of

accuse each other of crossing the confliction lines of flying dangerously or saber rattling on the ground and the fear is that this could eventually lead perhaps to a more serious incident former pentagon official michael maloof believes the u.s. wants to maintain a strategic foothold in syria despite having no legal basis for being in the country the u.s. wants to maintain a a a very strategic position and it's doing all it can to ward off any either syrian or even russian. involvement in that area it's compounded by the fact that there seems to be a lack of coordination and and in fact the united states doesn't even belong in the country let alone. trying to assert some kind of legitimacy for its even even for its presence the question is why isn't there better coordination if there is a hotline set up between moscow and the pentagon and apparently there's been previous encounters in which no one was on the pentagon end to answer the phone

clashes are continuing in the west bank over the contested status of jerusalem story and more after this break. so. what politicians do something. to put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. for some one of the brits.

that's are going to be prosperous like that before the story of the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. first six. welcome back to the program over a dozen palestinians have been injured in another round of clashes in the west bank as israeli police used tear gas against crowds throwing stones overnight on wednesday israeli forces say they also intercepted two buckets fired from gaza this week marks the thirtieth anniversary of the hamas islamist organization and it seemed fountains of people in gaza which they control celebrated and israel closed its checkpoints in the region for an indefinite period of time and since last week

when don't recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel between israeli authorities and palestinian protesters has been occurring daily. you destroyed the v.c. destroyed like this for. christians the same month seventeen. i think that's to give it give it give. give nothing he destroyed. he was. i think doesn't know what is going on and i think he's just he doesn't understand the depth of the problem that he has just created.

the leaders of muslim nations are calling on the international community to recognize east jerusalem as the palestinian capital. the organization of islamic cooperation met in response to the u.s. presence heavily criticized the move to recognize the ancient city as israel's capital donald trump's decision on jerusalem led to unexpected consequences as well for example in the israeli city of nazareth authorities canceled christmas markets and festivities last rites is considered to be the childhood home of jesus christ and of vital importance to christians local media have been quoting the city's mayor who says america's decision has taken away the joy of the celebration and donald trump's ruling on jerusalem affected his reputation globally too as nikki allen explains. how much time do you think donald trump spent considering his move

to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel a decision which doesn't directly affect anyone apart from the u.s. and its ally but as tremors across the world in ways that washington perhaps didn't see coming the u.s. loses its starring role in the middle east peace process in one swoop the president wait farewell to any hope that the united states can broker a diplomatic solution in the holy land from now on america is unwarranted in the peace process. from now on american mediation between israel and palestine is out of the question this process is over. the united states has chosen to lose its competency as mediator qualifies itself from play in a peaceful process the turkish president takes center stage in the regional resistance to both the us and israel an extraordinary all muslim nations summit is

hosted in istanbul by president who wasted no time in calling trump's decision no and void and branding israel a state of terror. you back in this country this israel. patient and terrorism is not what you are defending even more violence and a possible third intifada from nine hundred eighty seven to ninety one and two thousand to two thousand and five the region thought to deadly palestinian uprisings against the israeli occupation known as the into father's now we could be on the verge of a third slaughter in the name of allah firstly how mass is called on the palestinian people to face the israeli occupation and adopt the blessid into father against that and the hateful and racist recognition of jerusalem and to america river. says its decision the palestinian people who are involved in

a continuous process and into fodder against the israeli occupation and we are calling for it to be asking late in the west bank occupied jerusalem and the gaza strip against the occupation is one of them became a little over a week since trump announced his decision to the tide has turned to a tsunami of potential natural disaster no one was ready for i do think we will see more of what we've been seeing so far and whether we're with the rock throwing and demonstrations and unfortunately something people being killed whether this results in a in a another what they call third intifada i don't think we have any way of knowing if there's anything that may happen it's a it's somewhat counter intuitive i think it will be taken by most of the regional countries and also by the europeans as indication that they can't trust the united states they don't trust american leadership and it away in the guise of reasserting

american leadership i think mr trump has actually made us more irrelevant to developments in the region and in some ways has lessened american influence in the region. and nearly expanded oil transit have is now operating in russia as the year olds region medina cotton of the story perm russia's getaway to say the riyadh this is where an oil production terminal is located it which is unique to russia it's one of the few facilities and the country where crude oil is shipped in wyoming and and comes out the other in a ready for use canister let's take a closer look. firstly the factory refines a range of high quality oil which is extract heads from different fields and west say unlike most other plants this facility can filter out different types of oil instead of just mixing them all together which means that. for the markets more specialist products to get those products high tech added tips need to be added to

the mix and special indicators can help to do that sweat pinpoint accuracy and while on a ready to use canister. the perm factory is the place where a company developed ways to protect our products in particular our canisters have been mold labeling this is a special technology that excludes any possibility of counterfeit products the biggest oil production line was built back in two thousand and eight offering a capacity of up to one hundred enteric thousand tons a year and general the plant produces more than four hundred fifty thousand times making it russia's leading expert facility for. volkswagen dynamo reynold in this some are only some of the international partners we were just ten years ago there were no examples like now we know when you expose the

materials we also develop new lines of products that will be in demand and five or even ten years from now. on the question marty. roundup of the news now why don't you find us on social media on facebook. dot com i'll be back at the top of the hour with more stories stay with us. it would seem the more the antitrust first push to have the president removed from office the more we learn about the media in such places as the f.b.i. how they really work to date the investigation known as russia gate as revealed preciously little we're learning there was collusion elsewhere. altie we have a great team we need to strengthen before the free world cold and your bets have been a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in

one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waiting spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call that story as well as we. thousand zero zero zero zero he didn't rush on. strike so i know i left left left more left ok stuff that's really good. it's a. wonder when they hit a car this hit. it burning and really knew nothing then we took all.

this i wrote these are the new rich and rolling them in an all new mint and make a plate on tunnel. just a moment up on the yes i will get on the one that was in the beginning to see all. of those. set up and i thought that the ample. greetings and sal you take shit. all right let's take a quick break for all things net neutrality corporate hack i-g. pie and the f.c.c. because i have some important earth shattering news to tell you today well hawk

watchers i'm shocked shocked to inform you that us made weapons didn't find their way into the hands of isis fighters during their reign in syria and iraq now now please please don't don't aks host surprised well i'm sure that most viewers of this show and consumers of independent news media in general have known or suspected this for quite some time to the good black waving folks working in the corporate media today this this is news to them usa today's headlines announced the u.s. weapons for syrian rebels and some wound up in the hands of isis terrorists meanwhile jeff bezos and the gang over at the washington post originally threw up this juicy little headline stating how u.s. weapons help the islamic state fueled the industrial revolution of terrorism later they shifted that headline to the much more isis blaming isis stole u.s. supplied rockets weeks after they arrived in syria reports that. three years in the

making of the new report compiled by the conflict armament research group which tracks how weapons supplies find their way into conflicts that an authorized retransfer is a significant source of islamic state weapons and ammunition and that the united states and saudi arabia supplied most of this material without authorization apparently to syrian opposition forces which was then sold to sold to or recovered of by our forces you see the river of blood that is arms dealing flows damned and we are definitely all covered up in it so it's time to start getting clean by watching the hawks. to. get the. real deal with. the fallout of that if you. like you know that i got. within three.

weeks. of the watching the hawks i robot and i'm having a while and then joining us today to discuss the arms business in syria is former pentagon analyst michael maloof thanks for joining us pleasure always a pleasure so michael let walk us through this how exactly in your expertise in your belief do you believe these weapons and that up in the hands of isis what do you know they told us that they are big arms of the syrians and then they ended up with isis how do you think happened well it was a very clandestine program to obtain from eastern europe a lot of the weapons that syrian. opposition forces were very good milieu of with. a k forty seven to your r.p.g. where do you get them from eastern europe in the.
