it's human rights support. that's that's the bottom line of the hippocratic they have double standards. if this happens in the u.s. mainland would they accept it terrorists to be available terrorist organizations. to say they have good cause of course not the mainstream media has a habit of putting itself on a journalistic pedestal getting the facts right giving balance and using trusted sources but those standards appear to be selective and only if the story fits the cover. down of r.t. . meanwhile fighting still ongoing in series italy province between government forces and the al qaeda linked news reference his exclusive video of the battle for key positions.

now a german children's t.v. channel is under fire for showing a documentary about the relationship between a syrian man and his german girlfriend amid claims fail to challenge the repression of women here's a clip from it yourself i cannot wear short things always long things the transformers that i cannot accept my wife looking like this is very difficult for me and for arab men in general i do not like other guys talking to my girlfriend

she belongs to me i belong those are my rules. does doesn't mean we can't eat pork this is forbidden. that's the system call it's what's written in the qur'an it's not ok to eat it is not normal and so i asked do i really have to put through this will have to live together i stuck it in. well one concerned parent who describes itself as a qualified psychologist has written an open letter calling the program an attack on the emancipation of women criticizing the channel for showing repression in a positive light to young people we got reaction to the program which could range from claims of exploitation to a failure of integration i am not sure that that's the role of a publicly funded agency or a media outlet if a private company or a cultural center wanted to do it sure but. the idea of german taxpayers paying for this kind of sort of fake romance i think it's really disturbing this

is about i don't even know if this is a real romance this is about a story a channel what is it what are the ages for these for this channel there are seven and eight year olds this is not really about the ages of those people it's not really about freedom of expression or journalism this is actually about saying look at these we had muslims and brown people with funny views and pushing it on to white impressionable and vulnerable young people in society these are real stories and i think the most important thing of all is it's important we empower young people with good advice intolerance extremism is out there it was a lie right that guy pretended to be sixteen he wasn't sixteen so the kids were lied to from the very start and so i that's that's a knock against the whole program well i just think that this contrived romance was being deliberately sold to these kids as a way of undermining our setting the table for the undermining of maybe what i

believe are the intentions of the parents parents have a right to continue their family legacies and their culture and this undermines it on the taxpayer dime you know if we have stories about this young syrian people whether they're young adults whether they're mine is who are mixing with intermingling with living lives alongside germans or other europeans i think the story should be told we have freedom of the press and we should enjoy it because you're not internationalist that had he this our police offices in new york are taking legal action against the city's lead is releasing body cam video to the public explain why in a couple minutes. i think there is indeed potential to come out of this impasse of implementing the mainstream it's by next week on the un peace operation this is

a very sensitive politically walls contributing countries to believe and show the offer troops it's off to decide to. be half so confidence i'm going to have small. with more make this manufactured consensus instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the final merry go round lifts and we don't want. to ignore middle of the room sick. i mean the real news is.

come back with our take now new york's largest police union is sitting its own commissioner and the city's ministration too over the release of body cam forty which. this footage has serious implications not only for the safety in g. process rights of police officers before the privacy and rights of members of the public as well the union claims the release of video from officers body cameras is a breach of citizens previously adding that need ministration uses quote arbitrary and inconsistent parameters and is guided by political considerations one case in point is an incident last september when a man was shot after pointing a toy gun police video was released despite fees it could jeopardize an ongoing investigation when a former officer who blew the whistle on police activities believes the current system there's a live video used to be used for political gains i don't think it's an all of

a sudden decision if you actually read the lawsuit in the very first paragraph it states clearly what it wants and all it's asking for in the gist of the complaint is for these body camera videos not to be used selectively for political gain there that's that's all that it's asking for it's asking for a better system for these to be disseminated out of the public and as of right now the two people that the complaint is listing against for seemingly abusing the authority is for murder blasio and the police commissioner itself so the complaint says that it why it's just not selective you videos being removed. well last year three body cam videos were released by the new york police department and to them show officers shooting and killing suspects a local news channel paid thirty six thousand dollars to show additional footage but the incidents and the releases could actually be weeks or even years apart would have warning you might find the upcoming images distressing.

nothing. good.

morning carol took of. her want to. find out after i. was. seeing police officers being pawns in political games or get political games and they needed to be protests. acted there in the middle buffer between the law's the law makers the people they're supposed to troll and police the laws over and then their body camera usage their squad car video footage is all being used either for them or against as a as a pawn moving game and it's just not fair. there's been move islands in the capital

or during anti-government rallies unrest has been escalating there since new hysterically measures were announced at the start of the year. i. friday's rally people held up yellow cards there calling for four tough policies to be scrapped over the past week demonstrators upset dozens of government buildings on fire prompting authorities to point soldiers on the streets at least one demonstrator has been killed and almost eight hundred have been arrested. the seventh anniversary of the pro-democracy arab spring uprising on sunday.

then in a surprise move donald trump has announced that he will be attending the world economic forum in davos the decision was widely criticised though due to his america first agenda during his election campaign the us secretary of the treasury defended the move though saying that the forum is not purely a hangout for globalists alone but everybody is happy to see trump there for example as your it based group has launched a petition calling for the u.s. president to stay out of davos so far it's been signed by over eleven thousand people and they accuse him of racism islamophobia war mongering and attacks on human rights. we will no longer surrender this country or its people to the force of globalism replace the present policy of globalism with a new policy of america we are now putting america first.

crowd was is unique. in terms of streets with just a cold or quote should be issues in the world cannot be so for governments alone but business alone we should add up to and guide economic globalization and make it possible for all people to benefit from globalization. i don't think it's a hang out for global us i think the idea is that you can on the team is going to go over and talk about the america first economic strategery i'm totally surprised this guy has come out with that remark because it's so unbelievable the major attraction each year for the international calls and the politan elite that have the best politics of the year.

by definition is a fact because he's been he's a property billionaire and he's very much hate to those people and his results such as they result that he loves going to down in florida so in that sense they're all going to be the same sort of people. and that brings you up to date here not programs continue after the break. the central bankers trust me there's the lender of last resort or to provide liquidity it's case there's a credit freeze to fact that you have such a banks becoming the buyer of first order and that they're printing money to buy

stocks is a complaint inversion of what their role is supposed to be in the economy and they become a giant hedge fund. young children who've worked in bolivia for generations almost three quarters of a million are doing so today. this culture led to the development of bolivia's new liberal and highly controversial children's code in two thousand and fourteen which gave children as young as ten the right to work on the certain circumstances one doesn't have to miss the news on news. of. the. leak one took them with us in the end all. the things years.

full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to find you know really much the same really packs upon hours of sleep yampa is the john oliver of harvey americans do the same thing we are apparently better than flew past that and see the people you never heard of love redacted the night my president of the world bank hates to write me seriously send us an e-mail. i had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. i never had to worry about how i would eat somewhere i would sleep. i'm facing christmas alone out on the streets of london. well you got to be able to pull up a clip of the bully like you go to school you know to snort it still give out food for the. past you don't really feel like he would be. and then. the guy just

came over to me saw me and gave me change of this book. time after time she were going underground a century on from the day of the bolshevik revolution that would arguably save britain from hitler coming up on the show as britain's chancellor for the pound and is nowhere to be seen for an emergency parliamentary question on the paradise papers should britain's head of state apologize for offshoring millions of pounds for aggressive tax avoidance we speak to jeremy corwin's u.k.

labor party shadow emergencies minister chris williams and band we asked tory m.p. and deputy chairman of the u.k. just a select committee john howell if minority government needed to raise a maze premiership is sustainable in the wake of what appears to be a new scandal every day there's new figures showing arming rises in u.k. food bank use award winning director sean baker an oscar nominated actor willem dafoe on what the western economic crisis is doing to the children of the usa well the simple going up today is going underground but first this week marks one hundred years since a revolution without which arguably britain today would be in the hands of nazi descendants the rapid industrialization that took place after ten days shook the world in russia would ensure the defeat of hitler on the eastern front and enormous human cost and allowed britain's escape from being an outpost of the third rush but of course according to go mark the revolution was supposed to happen here in london not three and a half hours by east of this studio in moscow it's something you can detect in the

work of no i'm chomsky the soviet union called it socialism in order to gain whatever to benefit from the marl appeal that true socialism had among large parts of the general world population but this was about as remote from socialism as you can imagine so what about a socialist revolution. written some marxist alice is required for conditions one split amongst ruling classes like say over fifty fifty if you like direct it to winning over the middle class say by catalyzing resentment over paradise papers tax dodging three instability over law enforcement say slashing police numbers by more than twenty thousand which has happened under the tories for increasing worker democracy arguably like that proposed for british boardrooms by u.k. prime minister to raise i'm a has i what i've clarified today's meeting very clear we want workers representation on boards and workers on boards are also advocated by u.k.

labor leader jeremy corbyn so are the conditions right for a real revolution unlike russia nine hundred seventeen there's certainly class resentment over revelations from the so-called paradise papers detail and tax dodging by the rich that people will no doubt decide but joining me now is the british labor party's shadow emergencies minister chris williams and before we get to revolution the paradise paper has your reaction to these new revelations which is a seriously injured people from the manchurian or attack did not get medical help for an hour that's the may twenty second attack in manchester the grand concert hall that's incredibly troubling and certainly merits further investigation as to why that happened i mean i can speculate i mean one of the reasons i think potentially could be the fact that our emergency services or massively under-funded have seen substantial reductions in government investments and that's pledged to a reduction in staffing and consequently right across the piece the emergency services are struggling to actually cope with the pressures that being put on the

show the government would deny the cuts had any big influence over the door or i don't think they can deny that fall out when we do deny though is there isn't any any money and you guys have all the money is part of the problem the fact we don't have the money because of tax avoidance little well like they were well it's very interesting isn't it i mean i think you suggest that something in your. over seventy five billion pounds is avoided every single year in this country there is literally trillions of pounds tied up in the tax savings and you know that's why we're calling for a public inquiry that's why we've said that we want to see a range of different measures brought it including a register of those who have holdings in particular british dependencies and we've talked about introducing measures such as withholding tax to actually do you know took the tax source as it were to make sure the when companies or making profits it is going to they pay their dues as it were because they know they benefit obviously

from this economy they benefit from the infrastructure that's in place in this economy in the house to be paid for out of the public purse and by you know not paying their obligations in terms of the tax that they should be doing then clearly that's putting additional pressure public services or crying out for investment they or in a desperate state with the outnumbers of policing and adequate numbers of nurses weightiness going through the local government has been decimated social care in absolute crisis no government should be the head to represent the interests of the many not the few but it seems to me this government and indeed successive governments is going to be said over the last well four decades really have served the interests of of the elites they've served the interests of faceless corporations or they've served the interests of billionaires formal then they have the interests of people in scottish government removed say that it was worse under blairite and labor they have tried to tighten up some color loopholes i mean this

is a question labor dear leader as well should the queen apologize for offshoring tens of millions to avoid well i mean i think frankly the creek queen is a sideshow i mean ten million pounds yes i think she should apologize but let's not get too focused on the queen ten million pounds versus literally trillions of pounds and lord ashcroft involvement in this i mean moving we've called for for example of georgia. for his former tory chairman absolutely but the thing one thing they're also calling for is for closer scrutiny of members of parliament and we do know the. public accepted members of parliament do have offshore accounts and you know frankly i'd like to follow the ecuadorian example where no public official is allowed to have any offshore accounts they had a referendum earlier than most of us the prime minister doesn't have one as well as i understand what do you make of the fact that her husband merges maybe twenty billion dollars in tax dodging companies like amazon and starbucks as well the senior executive of capital group whether a clip clearly questions two to answer seems to me for the promise there and you

know the could be conflict of interest here obviously very close family member partner husband. you know. and his business dealings i think do need to come under the spotlight here. you know we need answers i think to these very serious questions of been raised now as a consequence of the revelations in these paradise papers is just not something fundamental to british society the right wing blogger is saying john mcdonald had a chance for his tax filings show that fourteen thousand pounds was involved in some pension in goods and i'm presuming that doesn't mean javagal back in of course of. talk about clutching at straws that's a. smear and the fact is john has no control over the way where the pension funds are nor does anyone well know but the point is. well that we deed but this is where we talk to restrictions legislation and we talk about bringing that in but where you know complete you have control of these corporations they have control these billionaire ali go to these elites they have control and they choose to hold their

accounts in these tax havens many of which are british dependencies very briefly when you're in parliament the disgraced defense secretary went how long do you think to raise it is the beginning of the end there is a winner will have is the beginning of the end for this government because if they recently go she would just be replaced by another cardboard cutout who. you know subscribes to to to this is a gang there it's the. well i mean i think it's got it's got the stench of decay this government has to shore in theory they could last until twenty twenty two can't see them surviving that long as they are in a minority it has all the hallmarks of the john major government and so i think whenever the election comes are there and they're in a very deep trouble but we can't be complacent we've got to offer a genuine alternative to the system it's this on offer at the moment when you know the wealthy the rich the corporations will benefit from you know i mean the end of the day if people are making so much money is it because spend just their wealth pop just grow and grow and grow would be better if they were paying their way

contributing to society contribution to the economy that would help the economy to grow it would help generate jobs they would benefit from that you know it just seems to me a client of addictive approach that they've taken chris williams thank you. well we just heard from shadow emergencies minister chris williamson and he was quite clear the paradise papers could not only be the final nail in the coffin for to resume but the entire party as well are joined now by the prime minister's trade on boy to nigeria conservative m.p. john as vice chairman of the conservative friends of israel joel the expert coming on i mean we have ministers or declaring secret meetings with foreign governments we have people senior people of a ledge the endangered the lives of british subjects abroad is to raise money for this no she's not finished and i think you've got to look at what each of those items individually to get the true picture of it there's no point in getting worked

up and jumping on the on the back of them and i think it will be totally wrong to say that either theresa may or this concerted government is finished you think it was wise of johnson to. in a sense echoed the iranian revolutionary guard corps allegation that the british subject was indeed a journalist a lot of charity work well the thing you can't do is to is to hide things and and lying to foreign governments and i think that what morris said was. was actually appropriate and i say that has his normal critique of boris johnson and i think it was it was perfectly appropriate even if it endangered the lives of the rain ians are a terrible regime they are causing a huge amount of of of upset really that is your view surely the important issue is to save the life of a british subject and i understand the borat spoke to the iranians and i don't i don't know what is going to vote with you trust the iranians after boars agree with

and you don't trust them before he said no i don't trust the iranians as far as i could throw the what do you mean iranians at work i've no idea what the iranians said i wasn't privy to that to that conversation but i'm sure he explained the situation to the iranians and we'll have to wait and see what the outcome of that is we know that this government since twenty ten the tories of obviously taking a tougher stance than gordon brown and attorney blair on tax avoidance and tax dodging. what did you what was your reaction to the fact that. tax dodging has to be going on industrial scale well i think the thing that you've got to remember here is the enormous hypocrisy on the part of the labor party because in the wash up to the general election they forced through changes that would have created eight point six billion pounds for the u.k. treasury and they simply didn't want to want to pursue them so i think that i'm not

going to accept any criticism from the labor party. over the paradise paper you know worried that there is a maze has been involved has been does. in effect advisor on tax dodging i'm not i'm not in the slightest worried by that i'm sure that he can defend himself on this but quite honestly i think there are bigger things that the cons country needs to concentrate on and as i said it needs to concentrate on the hypocrisy of the labor party in turning down the offer to recoup point six billion for the u.k. ever to quite a bit of a partisan politics no no it's not a partisan politics it's an actual fact the before the general election in the wash up to the general election that's what the labor party did so they can't go back on this now but still a little of any public inquiry into the implications of the paradise paper i don't see that it needs a public inquiry ok well the governor has a lot on its plate today six round talks at the e.u.

i mean given the european union arguably the dork over the fact to brazil and to pro-democracy activists i mean how these negotiations going on as well even negotiate with european union well i think that that's a very interesting question to make how do you negotiate with it with the european union and the short answer to that is slowly and carefully and there are many things that we need to be concentrating on in our trade relationships around the world and the new it's one of them you said that. should be going slowly i want to say that they deliberately look being linked from the by european officials to see britain in the end like other european nations look i am very keen to remain i voted to remain and i still think that that was the right decision but the country voted in a different way and i lost that argument and we have to accept it.
