but it's accused of being over the profiles. again. of. people from eastern europe. and austria.

in a very warm welcome to. british. social media failing to crack down on hate speech he was particularly. official for not deleting a. tweet. that wheat is still low on your plant why is it i don't know the answer to that question. what is it that we have to do to get you to take it down we are constantly looking at these policies nipping at these processes i will take that choice away and i will come back to you with a definitive answer as to why it is still there social media giants have been facing growing pressure to come about hateful and abusive behavior online in response twitter has recently introduced new policies that target accounts calling for violence but the platform has been accused of being selective over who decides

to purge its artie's jacqueline vogel with details. the twitter purge the social network has launched its campaign to root out hate speech will require offending tweets to be removed and repeated violations will result in poem and suspension among the first to go offline the account of the far right u.k. political group britain first known for offensive anti muslim post as well as personal pages of its leaders paul golding and his deputy j. to franzen donald trump came under fire for retreating her anti muslim post last month so far terms page a still up and running the white supremacist magazine american renaissance and its editor were also booted off along with the american nazi party space age racist and discriminatory accounts like these surely have to be shut down but the problem is so far the punishments don't seem to be being doled out with an even hand something clearly shown by the number of users who recently posted scores of death threats and promises of violence to the federal communications commission chief over his

campaign to scrap net neutrality in the us this user employed both racist terms and call 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 accounts glorifying 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 with an open internet company you're going to go see when you can. do your own service uses this post. this is known to. you 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 hey purge seems more than a little messy and on even the 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 hate speech in and of itself the phrase itself is always used against conservatives it's never really you never 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. but violent clashes becoming an all too frequent side between german police and the far left and tea for movement that's fairly little love lost between the two and the conflict has now taken on a new dimension with both sides publishing online galleries of shame against their

rivals he's bitter all about takes a closer look at the continued animosity between the two. these days the german police don't have the greatest of relationships with the full lefty pontiff but the latter have certainly stepped up their tactics of late following the hunt for hamburg g twenty protests as were commitments of fights against the states and teeth up published photographs of fifty full police offices on a website saying that date in the wrong for last year's most addiction here in berlin. was in the news with the money. was. was was was i i i i i i i was

. was there are you are putting out these photos was revenge. for the police releasing over one hundred images of people they want to speak to in connection with the hamburg g twenty protests in summer comes we encourage those who can provide relevant information who can identify offenders from the photos to contact us so the suspects or investigators. then myself and the t.v. crew saw what was happening close to the police and protest it's complements chancing away there on sci fi she's that build of on sci fi a chance going on all under the watchful eye if we move a camera over here over the watchful eye of a lot of police officers. they

still comes as the german cops of facing an investigation into whether they used excessive force and how big allegations are they used military weapons that aren't allowed in domestic policing the fighting between police and demonstrators this summer in hamburg was probably the best advertisement for germany but it does seem that some of those battles are continuing to be full before all of us. we spoke with martin volta a member of hamburg parliament who believes both sides are using tactics that were the only increase tensions if you put the 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 soften conflict as well to put the pictures of play. man in the internet the only way is to talk and not to try to criminalize either all demonstrators because that indeed. the chief of police and the prosecutors and part of the political 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 policing strategy that was the problem then there was with our daughter was chief of the police who is well known for his militaristic view on demonstration and that he's not able to do deescalate of police work both sides in this conflict abuse basic human rights and a law that doesn't lead into nothing but into cars. so who has the right to fish in the u.k.

well if you go by this sign at a lake in oxfordshire nobody from eastern european countries and particularly poland can indulge in the sport that is outraged one polish anglo who is now trying to take a legal action that other asked the owners to remove the sign but his request was ignored they've also not responded to a letter from the equality and human rights commission either mr popular ski claims he's had no support from local authorities. actually been reported to me by to remain united and because of project money for the last seven years which is education and integration to eastern european migrants they decided to sort of you know ask me for help i followed the rules of the she went to the police police told me it's nothing to do with then i've appealed and appealed has been upheld so it means they did everything in their power to you know to deal with them then in human rights commission they keep saying that they only advisory body so they do and it's been a part of giving advice you know i for exactly probably like many other people that

if we see that discrimination resign we're going to be able to go to the police and the sign is going to be taken unfortunately the realities of the friend and we have to learn to sort of cooperate with in this reality we also tried to get comment from the fishery however and on some machines says the farm is currently closed although mr puffy have launched what he's called a crowd just as campaign to fund legal action he has already raised more than eight thousand pounds. quite positively actually positively surprised. you know lot of positive comments about you know about the fund raising and a lot of comments encouraging me to me and others you know to fight to get this signed removed if they want to buy. they more than happy to do so because it is a private line specific group of people thing to do and you refuse your services. because he was born in need this is not how. i'm sure this is illegal to.

fake news channel have been up for discussion yet again this time a parliamentary committee hearing of the session didn't go off without some issues . i'm not. too sure. we just would like to offer. hold up in the. meeting with. russia's meddling this time in the. referendum however when questions were raised about evidence. to back up your very strong claim. is your evidence to. interfere with the outcome of the referendum in catalonia. i don't. get the picture basically what you're saying is that

the evidence that you collect around the referendum doesn't show a great deal of in power. that we have we have no no specific. this is we don't know. us hearings on russia haven't been all that different themselves following rather similar playbooks let me turn to russia to russia blatant interference. they were unusually loud. democracy and intelligence services were responsible for the hacking and leaking of information are being made their effort to have a and in fact. any have said this is actually the crime century that we have. no specific this is not a new. we don't know if you believe that any of your companies have identified the

full. russian active measures. center our investigation continues so i would have to say no certainly not with certainty. the u.s. is prepared to force north korea to abandon its nuclear weapons into 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 all the as the u.s. carries out joint drills with south korea. which will host the upcoming winter olympics more than four hundred marines are taking part in the three week long exercises and battles on wrestling in the snow the troops paid tribute to the games by skiing with its official logo. effort to reduce tensions though the leader said

that he will be willing to reach your goal of the drills early next year however the us secretary of state said that there are no plans to rechargeable any military drills in that region. but a kid whom he does possible for south korea and the u.s. to review the possibility of postponing the exercises and i have made such a suggestion to the u.s. and the u.s. is currently reviewing all of these exercises have been ongoing for many years but they are carried out on a schedule basis we announce them in advance there's no nothing surprising about them and i'm aware of 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 ever it's ready they relate to added that pyongyang must quote and its way back to the table and we heard from political commentator steve malzberg about the mixed messages that washington does appear to be sending. 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 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. north korea has also retained its place on the list of top threats to america in donald trump's new national security plan the document is meant to reflect his foreign policy priorities however not all of its parts fully translated into the president's words as some may recall reports 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 trumps doctrine strengthening america for the sake of its citizens and it's our life but that wasn't it he even listed a couple of washington's most dangerous enemies who apparently seek to undermine american interests and who may that be well russia and china course 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 they literally took with imperial list experience of the 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 trans 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 is to maintain to meet i think china and russia understand this and this is 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 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 entire series 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 this particular situation is that the world now has to figure out whether to believe the official government line or trump styrene. samir khan r.t.

washington d.c. we spoke to 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 trump we're seeing to new ation 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 yeah we're going to keep on isolating ourselves we're going to stop the spread of american 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 we want. but that is not what we're getting here. are still to come here on the program austria offers pos bolds to german speaking people in an italian region is subtly drawing the ire of rome details on that after the break. seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. me. to shape out these days comes to educate and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

here's what people have been saying about redacted the night secessionist full on awesome deal the show i go out of my way to find you know what this is really packed a punch. yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than that. and see people you never heard of love back to the night president of the world bank so take. it seriously send us an e-mail. it is good to have you with us today austria has found itself embroiled in a royal with if only offer it offered to grandpa spalls to german speaking people

in a region that on the move has not gone down well with the roman has alternately revived old hostilities. south to roll a stunning mountainous region on the border between italy and austria with the wholesome million residents the area was part of the australian garion empire four hundred talian controlled around a century ago. the region has two official languages italian and german puts the last twenty m. census reveals almost two thirds of german speaking. now the right wing freedom party member both through his new ruling coalition is fanning the flames offering austrian passports to south to really address. the people posts out there all will be able to apply for australian citizenship from two thousand and eight seems. at least in short blasting the proposal was making nationalism the fanciful move crazy idea and shameful it for an. most christians place trying to ease the round but is

it already too late. for. some mean south. we've always defended the quest of the double citizenship because for us it's very important as a link with our own strain model and. some time ago a protest was held at the brenner pass border crossing with people from the region demanding to all citizenship italian journalist. says the new australian government is only for furling campaign promise. to move faster than government business in a city we knew was that these are some of the promises that if you're going to be my profession these are the easiest to promise to the server was to make these very strict and we were called to the. horses be the minority you know that he really is a part of the brotherhood is the also the new citizens and these are the citizens

there are a board member of the european union which means there are equal rights in the basket which is very simple so there is no real interest of leaving the value in their citizenship will be the more since it is it should be good news for you not change the status of this to himself and this confluence of the denouncement of the feeling by the ministers these musical group we're going to use it these good leaders we need to say to their support this we're consistent and we do what we're promised you can be. it's not really very stiff you can listen to b.b.c. news my according to me is why it's worth. the potential future of cattle and independents will face a major milestone within twenty four hours when the regional elections are held it's not clear if any pro-war anti independence party will gain

a majority at this point but the elections were called by the spanish prime minister on october the twenty seventh that followed a declaration of independence by the cattle and parliament that 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. hey however that hasn't stopped one polling company from coming up with its own creative solution to this. i. i. i.
