after receiving a complaint otherwise companies would face huge fines earlier this month the deputy leader of the alternative for germany party saw her facebook and twitter account suspended after she criticized the country's police for saying happy new year in arabic again says people who express their anger at migrant policies in germany are seeing their voices silenced. the problem is you know the policy of the german government and especially of the older parties is intended to help young man from islamic or african countries get settled in europe and to accept their religion and culture for this reason a german citizen who has lived here forever is being ignored and in the case of facebook or twitter it works like this they censor all critical statements even though they are consistent with the real situation of course it runs against the mainstream political line in germany for this reason they try to silence all critics of the german government's asylum policy. drug related crimes are becoming

so bad on parts of the paris metro the train drivers are reportedly refusing to stop at certain stations that's according to a union representing the metro and bus network in the french capital are to went underground to investigate. for most parisians the metro is a staple of life with its winding tunnels and lines that stretch across the city it's often the easiest way to get from a to b. but down in the underground the gritty underbelly of the capital is being exposed drug related crime and violence has been a long standing issue on paris's metro but now the unions representing the train drivers say it's inspiring out of control dealers and users including those taking crack cocaine and. they've doing. lighting up
11:33 am
metro drivers is so fearful of attacks at some stations many are choosing to longer stock their survive more for survive not proclaim is very dangerous and it's terrifying if it can range from a simple punch to people using nails knives or. stations like marks dorm and market a year or especially troubled druggie says come here for their daily fix and gangs have taken over for problem of. the problem is very dangerous for both the metro workers and for the commuters is even more dangerous they are targets of fast i've seen more than one hundred attacks take place. within minutes of arriving at mark's door metro station we witnessed what looks like a drug deal the man with his back to the camera has just arrived with a bag in hand he walked the platform stopping and exchanging some packages with
11:34 am
people and then he left with his bag empty this seems to be the new normal. there are lots of drug users and i think that with everything that's happening in the match though they should be doing something most of the time the drug users are aggressive and everyone. he's afraid for the security of my children. twenty twenty five. lived there we we we verse of course. have been attacked just one time because. we had in the middle of the night. smart for. playing with that problem was a precipice a problem as the security robberies can happen sometimes it's maybe aggression physical aggression sometimes do by ceasar man attack another young man. as we
11:35 am
traveled through some of the most dangerous stations we saw metro security and police trying to crack down on the problem this exceeded in moving this bunch are long but in reality all they've done is move the problem to another stop on to another day charlotte. r.t. paris. of the last seven days russia has witnessed a string of attacks in school with more on that and more top stories after this short break stay with us. in order to overthrow the regime it does take popular discontent and popular mobilization but it also requires actors with in the leadership of the regime who feel that the regime is no longer serving the national interest you need people in the military or the bureaucracy for both who are willing to see the regime change
11:36 am
otherwise they would be able to put down a popular revolt but did not have support at higher levels. and. were a bit coy mind i mean their area here again better pick one of the nine hundred there that this was their year twenty seventeen to go to all kinds of crazy eyes and yeah it sure. are experiencing a bit of a fall back. welcome back now schools in three russian cities were attacked by their students this week resulting in dozens injured and six people detained.
11:37 am
the in the north with her children screaming very loudly we were scared at first we thought it was a joke meanwhile but then we realised it was serious thought there might have been a fire or a bomb we ran i saw three little children covered in blood honestly it was horrible blood was spilling from heads from necks absolutely horrible. some guys told me their two youngsters are masks run into the classroom injured a teacher and started stabbing kids then one of them jumped out the window trying to escape another cat running trying to injure the children and hurt himself.
11:38 am
the man to the class and inflicted injuries sustained three school children and a teacher with the next a child received a blow to the face another one was struck on the back and another girl lost some friend. i will say this in this booklet as it was in a calm nothing like this could have been expected from that action and i know many could have anticipated this would happen. that when i last heard the suv that. the motives of all the attackers are still unknown but officials are suspicious they are thoughts were inspired by the columbine school massacre in the us and nine hundred ninety nine but then the attack left a fifteen people dead and twenty four injured. the three incidents in russia
11:39 am
believed to be connected to each other according to police that's prompting russian lawmakers to push for the closure of so-called columbine is groups on russia's largest social media platform this page for example is believed to belong to one of the suspects it shows subscriptions to several groups dedicated to the columbine attack and contains videos about the killings. started sending emails to those who might have followed retreated or liked suspected russian propaganda accounts during the u.s. presidential campaign the company believes almost seven hundred thousand uses for into that category the e-mail users to learn more about the nature of the russian propaganda efforts one of those contacted was political comedian tim young well i
11:40 am
thought it was very interesting getting a letter from twitter because i i never recall reach waiting or liking something that i would have viewed as russian propaganda to have don't trouble like that or or manipulate the election is a propaganda tool if you agree with what you're liking or re tweeting i'm not sure who is being influence as an american by the tweets especially the tweets that they showed they had a few example tweets and a lot of them were just basic political messages that anyone in america could come up with so i think twitter and a lot of the democrats think americans are extremely stupid so i'm not sure exactly why twitter thought that i would have been fluence to buy something. outside of this country to begin with in the election welty all this twitter to explain how it identifies accounts related to so-called russian propaganda but so far we've had no reply u.s. lawmakers have accused the site of playing host to a torrent of dissin from asian during the twenty sixteen election campaign which is
11:41 am
that it would work to identify and inform people about the alleged propaganda. a letter that i wrote calling on these companies to individually inform all users who are exposed to false misleading and inflammatory posts generated by russian agents we will be working to identify and inform individually users who may have been exposed to the ira accounts during the election. it's nearly impossible to be able to show what is actually political propaganda because in and election cycle everything can be considered political propaganda and what is considered a different country meddling in another country's election because i've been contacted i've done digital marketing before for many people and i think contacted by foreign leaders to run their digital campaigns into social media for them so would that count as an american meddling in their election like there's so many different ways you can categorize this and it really doesn't make sense but it
11:42 am
plays into the all now one year old or longer conspiracy theory that russian the russian government colluded with the trump campaign which there's still no evidence of. that coins being on a roller coaster ride of late when say so its value plummets to below ten thousand dollars the crunch follows a global crackdown on digital currencies in terms of regulation and brazil investment funds are now prohibited from buying cryptocurrency one in china authorities are targeting online platforms that offer exchange services and india is actively targeting wealthy bitcoin is through income tax regulation some believe asia will bring in even harder meshes and that all warnings this could now be a survival of the fittest digital currency. china has always been opposed to or to but quite korea now is becoming increasingly concerned parent is going wild
11:43 am
but most of the action. and all crimes are. speculation is really extreme particularly in japan. they know look this is going to have shown so they're trying to i might add. the communist congress has a taking a turn to deal with speculators the only issue right now is that this sector is so technologically advanced that it went. outside the bounds of national governments and what they're doing is catching up the world doesn't need on a business sense all of these. all of these projects they're not necessary some of them perform in el compete their peers just because they have a better management teams better products better solutions their technology etc just look at the very speculative start of some of them as it happened in the not in the nasdaq bubble of the late ninety's some of them will be
11:44 am
a dominant company dominated business and ten to twenty years but most of the way the underlying technology watching technology is good. to get in touch to say your thoughts on our stories by following us on social media and i'll be back with all the latest headlines the top of the hour. prescribed medication is widespread on the u.s. market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued. i had actually planned. to commit some sight watch all who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing
11:45 am
what the doctors told us to do you know we were being responsible and what the real side effects. was was chemically altered when i did was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's something. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside outs. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch put a funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you narrowness and spending to do the twenty million album fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy great so one more chance for. the base this minute.
11:46 am
followed welcome to well to part off your own but not with it for centuries both russia and the united kingdom struggled to find their relationship with continental europe over the last few years both seem to have decided to go their separate ways i mean both seem to be pulled back what does europe think of it and what is europe after all well to discuss that i'm now joined by giuliana m r the former prime
11:47 am
minister of italy and now the country's constitutional court in charge mr modi it's great to talk to you thank you very much for your time. now about two years ago you wrote about how a dangerous cultural divide is now growing between russia and the west i wonder if your sense of concern has been allayed since then or has it on the contrary intensified. well i don't know whether it is intensified the certainly it is still there and. the more i think of it the more it seems to me a sort of nonsense economic political and also historical in my view something has happened which we are responsible that has created again in this country in russia the sense of being surrounded by other we don't really want us
11:48 am
i mean you as a partner is or allied but somehow that as they were saying are defending themselves against us no these goes back to the all the history you will know of this country and makes it an acceptable to make it very clear and short in my view it was a mistake to bring nato they recklessly to the border of russia well i'm sure many people in russia would agree agree with you on that point but i personally don't think that's the only point of contention here but i want to see something that you mentioned in that very same article the point that i haven't heard anyone else make and that is that russia's criticism toward western countries is similar to the gravitas that the jihadist movements
11:49 am
a spouse towards the west what made you reach that conclusion you know. the fact there are these identity tarion culture that is grueling again inside the russian saul brings itself a. distance between. yours is and our society is this distance is under the line and by sword to criticism that is similar to the criticism of mostly integra least people. the west with valueless societies the west materialistic the west against through the holy values around which a community is formed no these go. behind the soldier in
11:50 am
it's in the holy notion of the mother russia. and it creates actually a distance this is something that they found the frightening because they diffusion of this kind of criticism really creates. a deep again but image mr mudd if i may interject here i think this is a very interesting observation i think it's also very true but i would point to what lies at the root of. jihadist sentiment toward the west is not on cultural separation but primarily in this the sounds of and just as the sense of an indignity the bloodshed the suffering that western countries brought into many arab society i'm sure they were driven by good intentions the west always things that it's doing the right thing but i think what matters to the afflicted country is not the intentions but the actual result don't you think that russia has the reason to
11:51 am
be concerned at the same kind of do gooding would be visited upon it by the western countries i'm in i see an enormous difference here between the two situations. are you wouldn't deepen this bullying to much more than needed because if we saw of process a. problem that exists between us nowadays and it is the ukrainian problem probably all of these differences can be watered down little birdie little reste or ring the common now bertie that existed years ago so i don't think that it is necessary really so you know all of us have a dark side the problem is whether we do things that are was to keep it compressed you mentioned the dark side and i have
11:52 am
a lot of friends in the west who believe that russia needs to be saved from the thought that it is sad on spreading your words serve serve to be saved from our there exactly but what people in the west thing is that russia is trying to spread its vices you know corruption nepotism authoritarianism and what the west thinks of itself is that it is spreading its virtuous you know democracy in his usual or a point this is not my thing is that in the case in the craze of ukraine it is not so because a lot it don't do it that well is resized because it is an example. of that country is not good and is not. protected by russia but the choice that was presented before the ukrainians was either you stay with this dark country to your east them or their russia which is forever due to authoritarianism we join our you know western club and they are perfect not necessarily so it was simply you are
11:53 am
here. the eastern prefer thirty thirty of the union you can join the union not necessarily can be here in a union though the moment they would see take it easy. i want to song born to do anything because i'm on. only an old man but i think that solving the problem we have with russia is a priority and reducing the pressure around this board is a priority but of course it's in that tree russia has a responsibility now which is also international law as you well know but i don't want to do the things in these terms simply let us take this idea of the ceasefire seriously this is do it but mr mayor i appreciate you
11:54 am
mentioning international law because i think it's this question is absolutely central to the differences between the current challenges that are in russia and the west because the law you know you may argue that the law international law was transgressed in ukraine but it was also transgressed in libya it was also transgressed in iraq i think in syria nobody even protests that it exists anymore and i'm sure as a constitutional lawyer this issue would be very near and dear to your heart of the law and not only as a mechanism of justice but as a mechanism off restraint how can we bring bad they respect to the international law back into international politics so this is a very good question and it implies i suppose this is my view should we europeans really adopt a common foreign policy i'm convinced that a common foreign policy would abide international law much more easily as you well
11:55 am
know the intervention in libya was designed to one place plus one european the country's not the european union it could never have been a european initiative but the italy still eagerly participated in it so it's only perhaps when. i have done it either way it's early but. in a sort of the later bombing of triple a or third it was a sort of third stage but in any event i'm not here to defend it or the me here to explain to you that when ulterior spinelli and the founding fathers of the utopian idea said we have to fear their way to this day what was the reason for it the reason was because as long as they enjoy this
11:56 am
clue's if so over the n.t. they will aggressive to others and they would violate these discontinued this is continued this pint to the european union mostly because the european union is not sufficiently a union in foreign policy what makes you believe that even if your strength and the mechanisms of integration if you make them more formal that there is in attendance is will be arraigned then because there is a you know as we know in politics there is always a formal way but when the formal way doesn't work you can always this is not a matter for mallett is this is a matter of sharing decisions and their food in a king these decisions oh parable teves only after the necessary consensus has been reached around the european union table the decision to attack. libya could not have been taken what can i tell you
11:57 am
believe me i have no other because this is a counterfactual history and history is another one but i am still convinced that the third they're really doing states is very useful to reduce their aggressive propensity that it. it's not the head that does the thing it was not an act of aggression i think back in two thousand and eleven it was seen as a humanitarian intervention and it wasn't just something good it was basically eliminating gadhafi so you don't think it was trying to spread the european and western values. it was eliminating good there is an opinion here in russia that one of the reasons why the united states and to some extent western europe make the four positive such as that they make is that because they have been for long insulated from the consequences of those decisions now europe obviously is no longer insulated from its policy from the consequences of its foreign policy in the
11:58 am
middle east and north africa you're dealing with lots of migrants coming into your country it is putting a serious challenge to you and compounding many of the challenges that you face at the moment do you think that may in a way sober up the decision making when it comes to international politics at least as far as the european if you need to nation. we're not still in and so successful as we are in economic this is and so we have been successful in. individual rather in the spreading them on an equal be to all of our member station here become a victim of your own success in that way not to talk we're not been successful in the nation of the men so that's the point this is we're nation. has remained
11:59 am
but it is so clear when we needed to fix it up and we adopted the old suit you so tube gear is. the mission the politics remained is approved of the member states i mean it's not normal why. because there are the external relationships of the community and the foreign policies of the individual member states and the poor high representative have to be has to be present both the so this is not a success these are a difficult compromise immigration is one of these areas where from outside people tend to see your it up as a sawed to of unique single land this makes the single very
12:00 pm
difficult with countries like eternity and greece there are the gates as we say of you but are forced to behave as if the immigrants lending you both in greece and they need to be. where for eternity and greece only so this is the a c. miter that still remains well mr martin we have to take a very short break but we'll be back in just a few moments second. her . but rather stand. before long one of. the designer are her brothers here across the top.
