i was that. i. heard he demands that the u.s. to end its support for syrian kurds made a battle between the two countries over washington trained border forces. and. hundreds of prison guards in a large french prison as thought to be appalled by the islamic radicalization strike over unsafe work conditions. under new leaks from the foundry bad hacking group obtained by our t.v. raises concerns over how doping cases were how little during the rio olympics in twenty six days.

a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me karen good to have you with us this hour. washington is downplaying its support for the kurds amid threats from turkey of a military attack on kurdish positions inside syria and korea is furious over what it sees as broken u.s. promises to stop backing syria's kurds i think the original correspondent mind has more turkey isn't kidding around day after day it is pulling more tanks and more missiles more troops to the syrian border this is the premiere you get to a new war a war within the u.s. led coalition should. now america's acknowledged it's established an army of terror along our country's border it's up to us to drown this army of terror before it is born. one of the reasons is america's new army

or border force which is what it was originally the u.s. led coalition told us in this letter that it was establishing a border security force an army of kurds that would patrol the border with turkey now that is preparing to invade the u.s. has done a one hundred eighty degree turn that entire situation has been missed but treat misdescribed some people misspoke we are not creating a border security force at all the story has changed it's not a new army or a border force it's thirty thousand troops that will be trained to prevent isis is return on paper for now and if turkey doesn't put a stop to it state department is now on overdrive you get the sense that they'll be bending over backwards for a valuable ally turkey is a very important value nato ally we have

a lot of interactions with the turkish government as you probably know the foreign minister of turkey is in vancouver right now where i believe he will be meeting or have some sort of a chat with secretary taylor sent or at least some of our representatives later today so an important nato ally let's not kid around by all appearances america doesn't want to leave syria victory or no rex tillerson all but said so himself and that is the tragic twist to expend so many lives so much time and money to defeat isis we need to set the stage for another war a war within the anti isis coalition. techie experts high cohen believes that squaring discontent with american policies in turkey pushing and correct closer to moscow the u.s. administration right now is trying to lower the pensions but. you know in the fields what we're going to. see is the continuation of the u.s.

support for this entity is and the turkish administration would like to see the end the end the clear end of the american support to the kurdish people idea why p.g. and to basically to redesign the american foreign policy in syria i can tell you that there is a very increasing anti-americanism right now in turkey because of the american policies and this friction between the united states and turkey is basically pushing turkey towards more to russian arms. one of france's most notorious president has seen two hundred guards go on strike over security concerns at the jail. yes. following the strike almost one hundred twenty inmates refused to return to

their cells the prison is reputed to be a hot bed of islamic extremism among inmates. who is behind the deadly powers attacks of november twenty fifth it's not the first strike to hit a french prison this week with guards fearing for their safety elsewhere to. our work is very dangerous where we have aggression and we experience violence which is not taken into consideration by the government. it has become more and more difficult for us to act i've seen physical aggression towards my colleagues every day it happens every time we open the so doors are supported and we denounce the working indications of our colleagues in the prison the security conditions the numerous acts of aggression against them we want salaries to be increased for those who face such risks that work as well as an increase in personnel and better security french justice minister nicole bello bay met with

a number of prison workers on tuesday she outlined a ten point plan to improve their working conditions among the point she highlighted mostafa better equipment and a new director for the discussion on the issue has also been scheduled for march. and you leap from the found to bears hacking group obtained by r t house raised questions about how don't think cases were handled during the rio olympics and twenty sixty earlier i spoke about the revelations. so new leaks about the summer olympic games twenty sixteen and remember during before and after rio the russian doping scandal was all over the news and that was when the and higher russian track and field team stayed home because of the band's well one i.o.c. e-mail exchange that we however can not confirm is real was

a valid therapeutic use exemptions or to you now correct me if i'm wrong but is that when athletes to use banned substances for medical purposes yes if you're an athlete and you're sick and this case you may get permission to use medicines from the list of prohibited substances in a sense that is legal doping but that requires a certificate and judging by some of these unverified e-mails as many as forty four such certificates were given out right during the time of the olympics and most of them just days before the olympics were over that's where all the finals are happening but according to water rules the window between the time when the application is followed the next competition must be thirty days plus if we are to believe more of these on verified emails eight. from rio we're never

entered into the universe so anti-doping database that is interesting have we had of any consequences we don't know but i can tell you that among proved to be a real mess if it indeed happened during the rio games and we know that it is the most high profile sporting event ever the summer olympics and also another email that the fancy bears leaked was supposedly from a brazilian anti-doping professor about crucial flaws and the doping test bottles again it's an unverified e-mail to the manufacture of the bottles from the times right before the beginning of the rio olympics. did it weird situation this happened the rio twenty sixteen berlinger bottles seem not all to be stand it did not fit the berling forcing them resulted in breakage of the cap and sometimes it can be used to close the able to look after our quoting e.g.

photos you know just bowling i have a record of this kind of non-conformity so nikki opening the bottles could cause damage according to dr ratner if the emails are real but this is the point when i want to go back to all the russian winter olympic athletes that were banned the head of the winter olympic games in korea besides the testimonies and besides all the things that the main. whistleblower grigori watching of was saying the cornerstone element of the i.o.c. evidence or basically the only forensic evidence was the damage on the bottles or the scratches on the ones that were used and saatchi and the question i want to know about the state is whether both was at the center of suspicion in sochi produced by that same company yes they were produced by berger that was providing the anti-doping officials with equipment for saatchi as well however neither the

mcclaren team nor the investigators they were appointed by the international olympic committee have ever shown us the visual results of their experiments and we were constantly told that the bottle technology is flawless but what if it isn't. twelve activists in the californian city of alcohol and may now face jail after they were caught trying to feed homeless people in a park according to current legislation if the illegal to sheffield in public places. well you should love that you know. because you know we are out of. the ban on public food sharing in alcohol and was introduced back in october last year as a precaution against an outbreak of infectious hepatitis a the penalty for breaking the law can be up to a thousand dollar fine or even a six month jail to. we talked to the activists who were caught by police they

claim the legislation has the opposite effect of what it's meant to do. homeless people who were there were very sinkhole that we were standing up and they were very upset that the mayor in the city council members could pass such a heartless ordinance and none of those government officials come out to that park and talk to those people it really seems like this is part of the city for to realize homelessness they've already. made it against the law to panhandle to sleep on the sidewalk so this is really like the next step in trying to push the homeless out of their city and the big justification that they use was the happening outbreak in the in the eggo and they say all the parkers the parks are so contaminated with hepatitis a that we don't want the homeless people to catch it and start trying to protect them but everybody else can still go and have a party at the park and share food with each other and they wrote that into the

ordinance and that's what makes it discriminatory because the targets are really it's everybody else is not magically immune from have a tie to say within the same space so clearly there are this is not about hepatitis a and the mayor has made comments in public session at the city council meetings where he has said we're trying to make the park less inviting to homeless people and recent reports on human rights by the un outlines the difficulties homeless people currently face in america. we see an average of seven to eight hundred people every single day. congress has reached an agreement on tax legislation that will deliver more jobs higher wages and massive tax relief.

since the recession we have not recovered the homeless homelessness has actually increased there's a problem with high property values air b.n. b. is buying up local properties and evicting the tenants the mayor of alcohol would like everyone to think that all homeless people are drug addicts and that is absolutely not the case we have a very high percentage of our homeless are veterans we have a high percentage of people who are working in this growing criminalization of people who are poor and powerless. really is also a bigger problem with the mass incarceration of if that happens in our country where we have for profit prisons with companies making money off of jailing people still to come on t. international twitter is preparing a brand new tool to alert users about russian trolls more on that so if they show a break.

put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be rich. if you're going to be the first this is what before you the boy can't be good. i'm interested in the lawyers in the. first. i don't think that any country can push a button and get rid of trade this is far too important to be farmers to political backlash money is a very fungible thing and i think it will be very quick before people find ways around it because as i say it but it may be damaging in my credit that but the idea that you could do anything nearly even if something is very unlikely.

welcome back social media giants twitter facebook and you tube have again been grilled over alleged russian interference in the u.s. presidential election i'm assuming that none of you have any doubt that the russians meddled in our two thousand sixteen election and attacked our democracy any question you know it's only the latest u.s. senate tearing the three social media giants have participated in this time round twitter also announced it was preparing a tool to warn users about russian trolls they idea has already sparked concern

over just how trolls will be actually identified artie's daniel hawkins takes a closer look. this time they've been grilled at a u.s. senate committee session about dealing with terrorist content and other dangerous materials a letter that i wrote calling these companies to individual inform all users who are exposed to false misleading and inflammatory post generated by russian agents we will be working to identify and inform individually the users who may have been exposed to the ira accounts during the election now facebook already enables users to check if they've been exposed to russian bots and trolls from an apparent russian troll factory named the internet research agency which so division and mistrust back in twenty sixteen furner if you buy the russian election meddling narrative but it doesn't stop there now it seems twitter is going down the same

road we don't yet know the full details of how this will work but in a hidden recording of a journalist group project veritas allegedly discovered how exactly twitter picked out other apparent bots. it's a good read. just look at what you. guys. really. sure. that we have requested comment from twitter can they confirm that the top aimed at tackling and identifying these kremlin trolls is one hundred percent effective what are you supposed to do in the case of a mistake or the company has previously stated people in similar recordings didn't represent official views project veritas of course themselves have in the past been

at the center of controversy as a result of their methods for tackling bots is all well and good but what about tom . opinions that are controversial unsavory or unfavorable nineteen eighty-four anyone. would. think. that it. so next time you're browsing social media and come across material that may go against the grain don't overthink things the platform itself will give you a heads up what to believe or not. so with us now to discuss the issue further is adam gary an independent political commentator mr gary thank you for joining us on r.t. international this evening just how reliable do you think twitter is tools are when it comes to identifying bots and trolls. well based on the evidence that project

very top has unearthed i would say not very reliable or tall and they should be very careful before they accuse people of something in a malicious way because there is such a thing as a libel lawyer and many people ought to have them on speed dial if necessary the whole thing though does boil down to the contempt for the average public that's clearly expressed by those senators at the hearing and by those in charge of twitter a person engages with content online if they find it interesting amusing educational or some various combination of the three whether once engaging with someone they know personally a stranger an organization a pseudonym or some out of rhythmic robot machine the quality of the opinion and its ability to educate to into taken or to amuse is what the people are off to how stupid to twitter to really think us the members of the public or that we need to

be warned about this as there was something that actually matters like credit card fraud or allegations of trading obscene images online this is just an exchange of opinions and by barking up the tree of trying to expose the source it's really just trying to talk down to people as if they are not intelligent enough to make an informed decision based on of variety of opinions that they come across online from a number of different sources in every country on earth just about and there also are risque that twitter could end up discrediting genuine accounts by calling them out as faults. well that's the very important legal question it's of course an ethical and a moral question but when it comes to fighting a mega corporation like twitter people need to be legally or md in the sense of having the knowledge and information and legal expertise at the fingertips to protect themselves from from what amounts to corporate defamation of an individual

they're a big company and if they try to defame small individuals well the world class action lawsuit means something in the united states where most of this is going on so this is something the twitter needs to be very careful about this do they really want to expose themselves to these kinds of claims just to make their friends and congress happy about an election that's well over a year old at this point it's really ridiculous and if the lawsuits stored to come in and people's pockets strolled to be crunched then i think we'll see possibly a slightly more rational reaction i think gary independent political commentator thank you for joining us and to discuss this topic thank you thank you. switzerland may not be part of the e.u. but it's meeting one step closer to staging its own version of breaks it is with people's party or s.v.p. has received permission to collect signatures in support of a referendum to end the country's free movement agreement with the european bloc

which could see switzerland take back full control of immigration matters at the moment to open border policies that allow e.u. citizens to live and work freely in switzerland and vice versa the s.p.p. has until july next year to collect one hundred thousand signatures if successful the proposal will be considered by the government and parliament in before being put to a vote because the president of the youth wing of the sea s.p.p. is convince the public would vote in favor of stopping free movement. we are the biggest party in switzerland we are the strongest party and we have made a lot of initiatives and in two thousand and fourteen this was people's party has launched that initiative against mass immigration so why shouldn't it work a second time and i'm sure this race people will won't vote for that initiative that we can stop that three movement to deal with the european union and a two thousand and fourteen referendum that was indeed the overwhelming support to

cut immigration from the e.u. but in the end quote says one never imposed by parliament and that m. pays agreed on a solution to give unemployed domestic workers preference save it you nationals taking jobs in switzerland nails fit again believes the amount of new arrivals is unsustainable that we have got massive problems with mass migration and we want to stop that we had a migration at the early to switzerland for it with about eight hundred thousand persons that's really a threat to our democracy way to end always wants to remain remain independent neutral and free and then the parliament and the government of switzerland had to time to implement that initiative but they didn't and implement that initiative from two thousand and fourteen because they maybe are scared after reaction of the european union so i think it is really

a big problem because we have got all those left wing politicians in our parliament and the government and that's a reason why that initiative against mass immigration couldn't be implemented. after weeks of anticipation done no chance announced the winners of his so-called fake news that will its interest was so high the website containing the results crashed in the first few minutes. information that was false and fake and never happened got released to the public i'm against the people that make up a story i'm not going to give you the latest news they can if you are shaky do. nothing gives you more credibility than donald trump calling you a liar and i of course don't want to get why they got a special effects team or made it look like the president or a paper towels watering while.
