i i i. i i. he demands that the united states and support the syrian kurds amid a spat between the two countries over washington trained. and is a prison guard for the large french prison that's thought to be a hotbed for islamic radicalization striking over unsafe work conditions. and a new leak from the hacking group. raises concerns over how doping cases were handled during the rio olympics twenty sixteen.

very good evening to you great to have your company you're watching international. washington is downplaying its support for the. threats from turkey of a military attack on kurdish positions inside syria anchor is furious over what it sees as being broken u.s. promises to stop backing serious. senior regional correspondent has the details. 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 premise 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 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 written on paper for now and if he 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 i 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. turkey expert heiko in your marriage believes there is growing discontent with u.s. policies in turkey pushing ankara closer to moscow the u.s. administration right now is trying to lower the tensions 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 why the n.y.p.d. and to basically to really design 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. on france's most notorious prisons a seen two hundred guards go and strike over security concerns at the jail.

following a strike the most one hundred twenty inmates refused to return to their cells the prisons reputed to be a hotbed of islamic extremism among the inmates than a lot of the slum it was behind the deadly paris attacks of november two thousand and fifteen and it's not the first strike hit a french prison this week with guards fearing for their safety across the country. the. cost to this nice today we've all come here for a strike because discontent is spreading across france a crew. the problem is the security of prison personnel today for each guard there are ninety inmates on top of that there's the issue of islamic radicals who were also kept in our jails and who are not isolated from other inmates you know if you

lose it it's dangerous for us to be around the inmates because for them we are everything they hate for them we are enemies by definition. our work is very dangerous because we're weak teams of aggression and salt we experience violence which is not taken into consideration by the government. the only goes it has become more and more difficult for us to act and i've seen physical aggression towards my colleagues every day it happens every time we open the doors of people supported. we denounce the working indifference of our colleagues in the prison the security conditions the numerous acts of aggression against them so this if we want salaries to be increased for those who face such risks that work as well as an increase in personnel and better security and justice minister nicole with several prison workers on tuesday she outlines ten point plan to improve their working conditions but the points highlighted more staff better equipment and a new director further discussion on the issues also being shared tooled for march

but for five officer. who says that certain types of prison need to be held separately. you have a situation where obviously the prison staff are concerned about the safety the ratio of reported one prison then they're looking after ninety prisoners is really on except when it comes to safety and there have been a number of attacks as well different reasons correspondents are. showing that they are one thing i think one of the issues they really want to address is this question of how they manage the prison. because we have seen time and time and time again if the last few days with these so-called liberals terrorist attacks across most of the west. many of these people perhaps not. hardline jihadists who've been fighting in syria but actually they've been people who were petty criminals stepping in trucks coming out of the deprived areas of our countries and it's when

they were serving time for those lower level crimes that they are indeed radicalized because they can indeed associate with islamic jihad just in prison. and you leap from the fancy bear's hacking group of tame biopsy has raised questions about how doping cases were handled during the rio olympics of twenty sixteen earlier on nicky aaron my colleague spoke to auntie's early for trenka 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 hire 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 therapeutic use exemptions or to you now correct me if i'm wrong but is that when

the 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 illegal 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 were never entered into the universal anti-doping database so 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 manufacturer 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 buckles seem not all to be stand it did not fits the openness forcing them resulted in breakage of the cap and sometimes it can't be used to close the a boat will have to alec quoting photos unix just have a record of this kind of non-conformity so nicky opening the bottles could cause

damage according to dr ratner if the e-mails 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 in saatchi. now the question i want to know it alastair is whether both those at the center of suspicion insult she produced by that same company yes they were produced by birth and that was providing the anti-doping officials with equipment for 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. powerful winds have been battering the netherlands at least three people have died several others have been injured let's have a look at this video which gives you some idea of just how strong the winds there are people bikes freight contained it's even blown over that the weather alert was issued in the central part of the country where wind speeds up to one hundred forty kilometers an hour hundreds of flights and train journeys are being cancelled. social media giants twitter facebook and youtube have again being grilled over alleged russian interference in the us 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.

that's only the latest us senate hearing the three social media giants have taken part in this time around twitter also announced it was preparing a tool to warn users about russian trolls the idea has already sparked concern though over just how exactly will the trolls be identified he's done talking is 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 good to read. this again what you. guys. really. was. for sure but now we have requests that comment from twitter can they

confirm that the top aimed at tackling and identifying these kremlin trolls is one hundred percent effective what he 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 target. opinions that up controversial unsavory or unfavorable nineteen eighty-four anyone. think. that it shouldn't so next time you're browsing social media and come across material let's may go against the grain don't over think things the platform itself will give you a heads up what to believe or not. it's on i'm pleased to say i could speak

now live to pull rosenberg he's the founder of the online privacy crypto hit the good to have your own fault. which is tools of identifying butts and trolls in your opinion how reliable are they. oh i don't think it's particularly reliable they're looking for one particular group that they have somehow identified as russian in origin. but the whole the whole endeavor is really theater it really doesn't really matter twitter is doing this to keep politicians happy. and they're probably just throwing an engineer or two on it to keep politicians happy enough and if you notice is out and it makes headlines in the politician is happy that's really the way it works now when companies become very big specially tech companies people have a habit of thinking ok they must know that doing but let's be honest we can't just

any of them none of them are infallible could twitter end up discrediting genuine accounts as being bots. oh very very easily. you have to remember that these companies don't really have your their users interest in heart the users don't pay them the user uses twitter or facebook or google or whomever for free so you're not the client you're not the customer you're the product and they are selling you and your personal information to whomever gives them money or whatever in recompense for it so the real needs of the users are not primary to them they're certainly not primary to their bottom line and so given what you've just said and given the power that these large corporations wields what are the chances that twitter could you know use its anti both anti troll tools to silence opinions that it doesn't like or who other people

have said they don't like. well i'm not a i don't know exactly what goes on inside of twitter but they certainly have that ability and. how would we know unless somebody came out and said you know i did this on purpose and here's what i did how would we even know they have. minimal accountability and like i say the users don't pay them so the users they're just they're the product that they're selling to other people. ok we'll have to wrap things up there great to speak to you know pull rosenberg my guess founder of the online privacy firm crypt be thankful. we've been through the news because twelve activists in the california city of alcohol now face possibly jail after they were caught trying to feed homeless people in a park according to current legislation it's actually illegal to share food in public places. for instance obviously not. because you know we are.

you know. the ban on public featuring in alcohol was introduced back in october of last year it was a precaution against an outbreak of infectious hepatitis a the penalty for breaking the law could be up to a thousand dollars fine or even a six month jail term. we spoke to the activists who were caught by the police and they claimed the legislation has the opposite effect what it actually meant to do. homeless people who were there were very things fall 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 the park and talk to those people it really seems like this is part of the city will go home to criminalize homelessness they've already made me that 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 and so are trying to protect 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 it targets the whole nature it's everybody else is not magically immune from have to 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 recent report on human rights in the united nations outlined the difficulties that 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 and i just mentioned that moved to livermore junior higher wages and massive tax relief. since the recession we have not recovered the homeless homelessness is actually increased there's a problem with high property values air b.n. b. is buying a focal property isn't affecting the tenants the mayor of alcohol is 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 criminal is ation of

people who are poor and powerless. really is also a bigger problem with the nothing her variation of that happens in our country where we have for profit prisons with companies making money off of jailing people . switzerland money will be poets of the european union but it is moving once the closed staging its own version of we're exit the swiss people's party the s.p.p. has received permission to feel like signatures in support of a referendum to end the country's free movement agreement with the european bloc it could see switzerland by full control over the masses of immigration at the moment open border policies allow e.u. citizens to live and work freely in switzerland and violence of some of this we pay has until july next year to collect one hundred thousand signatures if successful the proposal will you be considered by the government and the parliament in the before being put to a vote the co-president of the youth wing of the s.v.p. is convinced that 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 and 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 free movement to deal with the european union in a two thousand and fourteen referendum the world's indeed overwhelming support to curb immigration from the e.u. but in the end quotas were never imposed on parliament instead m.p.'s agreed on a solution to give unemployed domestic workers preference over a year to nationals seeking jobs in switzerland his nails affair again who believes that 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 which will end always wants to remain remain independent neutral and free and then the parliament and the government of switzerland had to tie him to implement that initiative but they didn't implement that initiative from two thousand and fourteen because they maybe are scared after reaction for 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 donald trump has announced the winners of his so-called fake news awards an interest was so high the website containing the results crashed in the first few minutes.

information that was false and fake and never happened get released to the public i'm against the people that make up stories i do not get to give you a question you stake out if you are shaky do. nothing gives you more credibility than donald trump calling you a liar but 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 are ordering while.

there it is your right up to date i hope you will be back see you at the top of the hour. the two thousand and eight economic crisis turned some countries into pigs these are the countries with weaker economies that needed. austerity policy is if you are in a situation of flow bloat even the recession austerity is

a very bad idea it doesn't work it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline off the home as the decade how good of the results she thought was that the new york city's will by the people gathered in which the wider world get people to see what i do in a choice that he gets traded meaningful because she thought the climate was i mean to for legal. challenge nothing more than this she did not know it was always think he thinks he somehow they're not getting her back. while the same measure is still in place to one of the consequences to weaken bluebirds smooth the smooth will first one of this is the truth the consider is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision makers.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be. too bright to be cross with the right before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the water. question. about your sudden passing i phone we just learned you were yourself and taken your last wrong turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest thanks that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still

some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never like it said one does not leave a funeral the same one enters my mind it's consumed with this one. i speak because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker . long. according to the wall back in two thousand and eighteen is expected to be the first

year of the financial crisis that the global economy it will be operating at or near its full capacity if things are indeed getting better why are so few people noticing it well to discuss that i'm now joined by. former for his deputy managing director of the international monetary fund and former chief economist of the world bank a professor progress a great honor to talk to you thank you very much for being available pleased to be here now first of all let me start of this seemingly unrelated issue you're visiting russia ride the time when the united states. department of state listed this country as one of the most dangerous places in the world to visit together with states like sudan user and pakistan and the specific recommendation for that group of countries would be to be considering your travel why are you defining your recommendation of the american government well i'm not even though i didn't report i saw in the newspaper didn't even list russia in the same categories as though there's a level three countries. but i thought they had two or three that were listed as really don't go in this russia was no and this would be like.
