1:04 am
that some of those battles are continuing to be for the for all of us. we spoke with martin delta a member of hamburg parliament who believes that both sides are using tactics that will only increase tensions if you put pictures of demonstrators in the internet which can be used by everyone it's not a way to soften the conflict and it's not a way to solve a conflict as well to put the pictures of policeman india internet the only way is to talk and not to try to criminalize either all demonstrators because indeed. the chief of police and the prosecutors and part of the politicians as well everyone who protested in g twenty has been nearly like a criminal and we can see at the g twenty there was a very escalated police is policing strategy that was a problem then there was with our. chief of police who is well

known for his militaristic view on demonstration to deescalate of police were both kites and this conflicts abuse basic human rights and a law that doesn't lead into nothing but into costs. austria has found itself in broiled in a router to offer to ground passports to german speaking people in a region that or the move has not gone down well with rome and is ultimately revived old hostilities south of the study man's this region on the border between italy and austria with over half a million residents there it was part of the australian garry empire the full four hundred tally in the round. sentry guard. the region has two official languages italian and german puts the last twenty eleven census reveals almost two thirds egypt speaking. now the right wing freedom party and in boston his new ruling coalition is fighting the flames offering all st paul schools to southeasterly and

from austria's side of the story join us in three hours here at r.t. for an interview with. a member of the national council for year which has been pushing for that. so twitter has implemented new rules in an attempt to combat hateful and abusive behavior on its platform has been accused of being selective of the account sister cited to purge his artie's jacqueline with more details. the twitter purge the social network has launched its campaign to root out hate speech be removed and repeated violation should among the first to go off line offensive anti muslim posts as hansan donald trump came racist terms and called for violence but the account is still active another tweet laying out a desire to kill pie is still readily available and it goes on from there active account school or fine and inciting violence even his wife and children were named and attacked and the past pie himself has called twitter out as one of the problems
1:09 am
with an open internet company usually goes when it comes to give your mind service users but those who believe that. this is not a. good this is playing right. now twitter has admitted it will make mistakes in the quest to make the platform a safer place but so far it's a purge seems more than a little messy and uneven that people at twitter just like other social media platforms are under tremendous pressure because they just see themselves as sort of neutral players but in reality twitter is an active participant in the political process on the side of the left hateful speech i just i just don't know where i don't even know where that begins and ends and it it seems like it's always up to someone else what what hate is just to beat speech in and of itself the phrase itself is always used against conservatives it's never over you never
1:10 am
hear about hate speech from the left the restrictions are always on conservatives never on liberals and so i don't i don't take any effort to sort of police twitter or facebook seriously as a fair exercise. the u.s. is prepared to force north korea to abandon its nuclear weapons that's according to the president's national security adviser. stated that while washington would prefer a diplomatic solution to the crisis it is not committed to peace we have to be prepared if necessary to compel the denuclearization of north korea were not committed to a peace work remitted to a resolution the comments come as the u.s. carries out joint drills with south korea in the mountains which is where the upcoming winter olympics will be held and more than four hundred marines are taking
1:11 am
part in the three week long exercises and in an effort to reduce tensions ahead of the games though the south's leader said he would be willing to reach shared you will other drills planned for early next year however the u.s. secretary of state saying that so far there are no plans to do that. it is possible for south korea and the u.s. to review the possibility of postponing the exercises have made such a suggestion to the u.s. and the u.s. is currently reviewing it but these exercises have been ongoing for many years they are carried out on a schedule basis we're now to them in advance there's no nothing surprising about them and i'm not we're no i'm not aware of any plans to change what is scheduled last week the u.s. secretary of state said his country is prepared to hold crisis talks with north korea when it's ready later added that. must be quote earn its way back to the table and we heard from political commentator steve malzberg about
1:12 am
the mixed messages washington appears to be sending to pyongyang. well i think that i do know taylor sin has played good cop bad cop he's always been the good cop in this scenario and you know whether it's with donald trump or with a master tillerson has always been the one to say you know let's talk we're willing to sit down and then trouble so no we're not and what are you saying and why just say it it's a game to an extent maybe to try to show the president of north korea that. you know we could act both ways we could be willing to sit down with you but if you don't take my offer and and and do what's in the best interests of peace i've got guys surrounding me here who are willing to go the other direction and you better know that. well korea has also retained its place on the list of top threats to the united states and donald trump's new national security plan the document is meant to reflect his foreign policy priorities however not all of its parts fully
1:13 am
translated into the president's words us american explains well president unveiled his national security strategy and it has some pretty impressive goals america is coming back and america is coming back strong with every just season in every action we are now putting america first so the main idea of doctrine strengthening america for the sake of its citizens and its allies but that wasn't even listen a couple of washington's most dangerous enemies who apparently seek to undermine american interests and who may that be well russia and china force just goes to show that over half a century has passed and america's enemies haven't changed but what's their crime in two thousand and seventeen. china and russia challenge american power influence and interests attempting to erode american security and prosperity. well clearly russia wasn't very impressed literally to imperialist experience of the
1:14 am
documents and i'm willingness to let go of the uni polar world in fact the persistent rejection of a multi-polar world now china wasn't too happy to be listed as one of trump's enemies either ask the us to stop with this quote cold war rhetoric. we urge the us to stop deliberately distorting china and spurn our dated ideas such as a cold war mentality and coalition game otherwise it will hurt others and destroy itself the united states needs i mean me or to put it more nicely strategic competitors they are need for the united states to to remaining and to and to be able to muster enough results to maintain their beat i think china and russia understand this and there's also well recognized by many americans but what's interesting is that from stockton accuse russia and china of trying to challenge american hegemony but at the same time asked for their help to contain
1:15 am
north korea and what's even more confusing is that trump speech was fairly muted compared to what was in the official white house document. we also face rival powers russia and china that seek to challenge american influence values and world . we will attempt to build a great partnership with those and other countries but in a manner that always protects our national interest. russia and china determined to make economies less free and less to grow their militaries and to control information and data to repress this is science he's an expert on their influence but has he read the whole document i can say that he's read every line in every word he certainly had the document the attire for throughout throughout the process so the national security strategy might seem worrisome to a few but it's not very different from past administrations and what's unique about
1:16 am
this particular situation is that the world now has to figure out whether to believe the official government line or trumps irene. samir khan r.t. washington d.c. we spoke with the vice chair of the u.s. libertarian party of enviros who believes trump's words often contradict his actions he's saying one thing when he is on t.v. to get applause and he's writing something different this continuing of trade isolation we're seeing under trouble we're seeing attenuation of all these backwards military policies that's the actual policy like many politicians like any great actor trumpets playing pretend with us he's lying he is simply saying that yeah we're going to bring the troops home but he hasn't done it we're going to stop being involved in four wars but he hasn't done it we're going to start actually spreading american values through trade but he hasn't done it in fact what he has written is the opposite he has written down something that says you know we're going to keep on isolating ourselves we're going to stop the spread of american
1:17 am
values and that's exactly what we don't want we want to see an end to trade sanctions so that american values spread we want to see an end to foreign wars so we can stop creating enemies and also we want to see an end to this spending that those four wars involve so that we can reduce our personal income taxes that's what want we. and but that is not what we're getting here still up idea of stories coming your way on the program today here. for example heading to the polls in twenty four i was the elections could decide the future of the region's independence bit more details after the. politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. you somehow want to be rich. actually going to be close to see what it looks like three in the morning can't be
1:18 am
good. i'm interested always in the water. this should. seem wrong. but. just don't hold. me. to see how this day comes to educate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. european countries. also had no support from the local authorities.
1:19 am
so it means they. didn't human rights commission they keep saying that they only advisory body so they you know i for exactly like many other people called a crowd just campaign to fund legal action and he's already raised. eight thousand pounds. quite positively actually positively surprised. you know i have a lot of positive comments about you know about the fund raising and a lot of commons encouraging me to me and other you know to fight to get removed if they want to. they more than happy to do so because it is a private. specific group of people to do and refuse your services only because he was born in need this is not how. i'm sure this is equal to. the potential future of independents will face
1:20 am
a major milestone tomorrow when regional elections are held it's not clear if any pro-war independence parties will gain a majority of the elections were called by the spanish prime minister on october twenty seventh that followed a declaration of independence by the catalan parliament and the move prompted madrid to dissolve the region's government and impose direct rule under spanish law no polls can be published a week before voting day however that hasn't stopped one pollster from coming up with a creative solution. i .
1:21 am
and over in the u.k. independence referendum was raised during a parliamentary committee hearing it was being held to discuss fake news and. impact on that vote but not only did the committee fail to provide any evidence some members couldn't get a number of basic facts straight. and i see a chuck and explains. this particular parliamentary hearing focused on an inquiry on fake news was carrying on for over two hours and of course russia social media
1:22 am
as you said role as well as this channel were discussed in abundance yet again however not without a hiccup for a normal person because life's too short and this is the same you know i used to say we just would like to all for the all to point to a few of these calls he's holed up in the venezuelan embassy at the door is it whether it were it was always with the door that we need to resist it was worth it well know this the research was also widely focused on russia's allegedly meddling specifically in the capital our friend but as soon as the tough questions popped up about evidence that was a bit of a problem is your evidence that the russian government is seeking to interfere with the outcome of the referendum in catalonia. i don't have evidence i think i get the picture basically what you're saying is true that the evidence that you collect
1:23 am
around the referendum doesn't show a great deal of impact on the consortium both focus that we have we have no no specific if this is a new. study says that it's that we don't know whether u.s. hearings on russia haven't been always interference affiliated or fewer and usually less disappeared to spend with democracy and intelligence services to have. an effect pretty propaganda any have said this is actually the crime of the century focus that we have we have no no specific services i knew. that if you go do you believe that any of your companies have identified the full scope of russian active measures on the fox center our investigation continues so i would have to say no certain. not with certainty and our news continues in about half an hour here on r.t. international hope you join us for more of your wednesday world headlines.
