donald trump's first day at the world economic forum in davos gets underway with a meeting with the u.k. prime minister tres a make he's expected to promote his america first agenda the gathering in the luxury resort all these questions are more of the president is coming closer don't want to listen to him you can they can lead. turkey the u.s. saying washington doesn't keep its promises on that there's no trust between the countries become designed christoper stuff it's military offensive against the u.s. backed kurdish militia in northern syria. plus a moscow neighborhood is left stunned after a model student killed his flatmate and post the grisly details online before committing suicide.

it's seven o'clock here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from our studio with me in india today welcome to the program president trump is in the swiss resort of doubles for the world economic forum he's already spoken to british prime minister theresa may. is there for us. after their meeting both donald trump interest in may talked about how wonderful their conversation was how much they appreciated meeting one another and what a wonderful relationship the two countries have with one another donald trump went on to say that he really respects theresa may and that contrary to what some may believe they do have a wonderful relationship. have a. huge. don't generally believe that i'm sure. that if you. like you. love you that idea that the two countries still have

a special relationship comes just weeks after donald trump canceled his visit to the u.k. to open the new u.s. embassy there the president said that he canceled the visit simply because he thought that the deal that was brokered to sell the old embassy was a bad one but many did see that as a bit of a dent in that special relationship donald trump is here at the davos world economic forum with his america first montra most likely going to dominate his speech tomorrow and his meeting with world leaders throughout the next two days now from transportation secretary said yesterday that if anyone doesn't like that message they're more than welcome to not listen america first is a continuation of the american affirmation of american exceptionalism so i don't think i think this you know all these questions are why the president is coming and again i think davos to feel very flattered that he has chosen this as a forum. and so close those that don't want to listen to him they can lead you know

this is part of what discourse and discussion is all about will have to wait and see if anyone takes her up on that suggestion and does leave during his speech tomorrow now meanwhile we've heard already from mccraw and merkel and they both had sort of europe first message that they were putting out which maybe isn't as nationalist as america for. but it's not globalist either which is a bit strange in the setting of this forum let's take a lesson it isn't gentleman my my first missy he said france is back france is back it's a call for europe because we will never have any friends success is without european success if between our twenty seven member states we're not able to send a clear and united message to major powers such as china india and the united states if foreign policy is made on the national level then we will feel. and today during teresa mayes speech at the conference she also had similar

stuntman's talking about how the u.k. would be one of the best places to open a company or to work on a lot of we would be the best country to open new businesses to start new things in the safest country to be on the internet so a lot of that sort of idea of european leaders looking at their own countries in europe as a whole as a leading force but of course we still have the rest of today and one more day tomorrow davos and with the what else comes out of it. we discuss the upcoming talks with economist keith boyce field. what do i expect from mr trump's visit to dr ostroff a lot of security and police and army also you've got to bear in mind that mr trump has a stable genius as he puts it he likes to bestride the world stage and so i think because the mr of the president of china was the great favorite star at davos last year i think mr trump wants to be the star this year i think that there

will be a lot of politicians wanting to speak to the gallery mr trump will be wanting to play to his political base over in the state so he wants will want to be seen to be talking tough and in a similar fashion mr mack wrong mrs merkel who's still trying to form a government in germany will also be wanting to be seen to be supporting their national self interest so i suspect we're going to be seeing quite a few fireworks. turkey's foreign ministers had how to the u.s. saying it doesn't believe washington is a trustworthy partner it comes as tensions escalate between the two nato allies over turkey's offensive against the u.s. backed kurdish militia groups in northern syria the piercer took mamma says the u.s. hasn't kept any promises mr trump told president on the phone that normal workmen's will be given to the why i should want to see that put into action. turkey's

foreign minister also says the u.s. has misrepresented what was said in a recent phone call between the two countries' leaders about the hostilities in syria. president trump relayed concerns that escalating violence in africa syria risks undercutting our shared goals in syria here to turkey to deescalate limited military actions and avoid civilian casualties the white house statement about the concerns of the phone call between trombone algebra was probably drafted before the conversation took place because it did not reflect the truth the phone call came after and pronounced it is extending its military operation in syria and that it will now set its sights on the kurdish health city of man bitch the u.s. is said to have two thousand troops in the area and the white house has said donald trump wanted his turkish counterpart to avoid any actions that could bring u.s. and turkish troops into direct conflict so let's have a closer look at what's happening in the region this is the border between turkey

and syria and the areas in yellow that you can see here on the map are held by the various kurdish militias in the west you can see the african districts where the turkish assault began and to the east of it in this green bit here are a number of turkish banks rebel groups there involved in the push towards man bitch now here's a recap of how the operation has unfolded so far. but . i don't think i know what they're firing tossed with tanks to move planes we did nothing to hurt them their perception our land and they're bombing us. we have to sleep in the cellar because of the bombs we are free

to go all out on the streets what do they want from us well no on land they should stay in tears while also on a matter how many planes and missiles they send this is on land will not leave it you do it. in a way that tally ation for the operation several missiles were fired from a friend over the border into turkey on wednesday killing two people in the town of killis and injuring a dozen or more a mosque in a residential building were damaged in the incident international relations professor hussein back she told us turkey and the us are on a collision course in syria. toll between two presidents the moment is not friendly and americans. first imported to turkey should not exist militaru operation we have regional conflict on the one hand but also. conflict. to marital counseling the american

side towards this isn't going to turkey is not going to expand operations this is somehow. a warning by the americans to the president the confrontation between turkey and the masses of america is getting more and more likely. a pakistani doctor who was the key to finding osama bin laden except to spend the rest of his life in jail but he stands authorities have accused him of helping militants and arrested him soon after the u.s. operation in may twentieth eleven two u.s. presence of promise to get him released but it's now been seven years mark gasnier has the story. you can argue dr shaquille afridi helped catch the century's most wanted man the man who did this.

during the. sama bin laden you can also argue he was a traitor and a fraud it all depends on where you are from the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden the leader of al qaeda tonight we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome gratitude though has its limits dr afridi set up a fake vaccination program in the area bin laden was hiding in in order to collect his family's d.n.a. and give the cia proof he was there clever shortly after bin laden was eliminated dr afridi was arrested by pakistani intelligence and sentenced to thirty three years he was charged in. two thousand and eleven

of being money to the militants of that. he was assisting in medical term that he was making some. news a hospital i met him in. in june and he said that i am innocent and the charges they are totally illegal dr afridi was first accused of aiding local militants and then of murdering a patient though how fair those charges is debatable the bomber tried and failed to get him out donald trump well trump is trump. yes i do i think i would get him out in two minutes i would let him out and i'm sure it didn't fly it's even upset the pakistanis a little being threatened with blackmail it's been almost two years since trump

made his both stand nothing the man who helped catch some of bin v i call of terrorism is rotting away in jail we believe dr afridi has been unjustly imprisoned and have clearly communicated our position to pakistan on dr afridi's case both in public and in private and the us well they bring it up once in a while that's what gratitude is worth nowadays we spoke with political analyst javed about what the future holds for afridi as u.s. pakistan relations continue to sour. i think there's a question of this of an interview of snow here it is not the question that one rather more pierre the americans in a look at in a somber love them bug or something establishment seed that it wasn't that all own caucus on intelligence and the military because that man was not schools to provide

any assistance to the american cia in look at the us army london i don't think pakistan would would ever come to a point to be a dick and release and the reason being is quite simple because. china hasn't rested fifty six billion dollars in this in this one of the prime projects so focused on is no longer financially dependent on americans as it used to be done years ago or five years ago you have no longer the ferryman on american aid we don't need it we need the rest of about because focus on has been saying that those of thousands of people have been cured in american water and out of their own they did not afford to be part of this longing for american continue to shore signs of belligerence and five percent says that in fact it is up with them of going to them so there's a lot of live view between two countries. a student in moscow has shared online agree some details of him murdering and raping his flatmate before

committing suicide the incident has left the russian public stunned with people describing the man as a promising student from a good family a correspondent in a patrol car went to the house where they lived and spoke to the neighbors and a warning that you might find some parts of this report disturbing this is the area where our. rented their flat together the center of moscow very close to the elite universities where they study they seem to have everything to enjoy their lives in the capital the students were once in a relationship but after breaking up they continued to share a flat in the building right there. it turned out to be unbearable for art to leave that's the right entrance they live on the ground floor and one social media post described everything he did behind these walls on one horrifying winter night it was late had been drinking when to tiana and her to room he started punching her

the details of what was happening there and the next few hours are far too grisly to go into and this report but it included stabbing rape and necrophilia. after what everyone i guess would call a psychotic frenzy. hanging himself this is the entrance to their flat with a police notice but this shouldn't be the most challenging investigation for the authorities the couple's whole lives were out there on their social media accounts for everyone to see and are very long suicide note that he posted on his account was a full description of what happened that night where he explained his motivation.

this is a very small section of the building with very few apartments and none of the neighbors here agreed to talk to us i was made for this creature with. but once a curate a guard outside agreed to share some details lucille with this most people sweep the biblical story. is a. little little but the soaps are still a little to some older sister still not to children look at the people in the into the pool. or this pollution. jealousy and rage of often lead to qualms of passion we've seen it in movies read about it in books but seldom before have we experienced it so vividly thanks to the killer of the victims of session with

social media. spent on social media and internet free. in intelligence think tank thanks for joining us here on the program lars. this case that we've just been reporting on is pretty gruesome what are your thoughts on the way in which social media was used to broadcast the very graphic details of this killing. well the first thing to say obviously is that this is a particularly deceased dressing case and obviously all of our thoughts are with those who are affected directly also it's important to say that as i understand it this is known going investigation so anything i say is meant generally there has been quite a lot of discussion about the impact of the relation of this particular revolting

crime. to social media and social media's role in it now the law is going to be different in different countries and in different places but the approach normally is something like here we have here in the united kingdom is that it's a crime if if social media is particularly related to a specific type of crime say harassment where it's where it's related directly harrison messages or the or it's it's there to aid or abet a particular crime so actually in so incitement in some some kind of way now that's actually not the kind of the case here as i understand it. to a certain extent it's just shows how technology moves on the younger people use the technology that's there available to them instead of writing or writing al to confession this or that instead that also social media played

a role but that's not to say social media itself is the cause of this particular case instead actually it's possibly made the police's job easier in fact. i want to broaden the discussion really about this obviously you know the publicity that you get on social media is it just makes it so clear how horrific this event was and the fact that you know the perpetrator and again it is under investigation felt the need to do that why is it in your paper opinion people feel or appear to feel more comfortable saying things online that they probably would never say in any other setting or in person. well first been a lot of discussion about whether or so a kind of sense of an unlimited makes what makes people or some more are more likely to confess things or say things and they feel less responsibility that's

also not necessarily the case so i think that but i think we are essentially very much used to living our lives in a very different different way now in terms of how things are broadcast but i think it's really important to take the distinction between things like kind of behavior where and also where where where there is where there's clearly communications attended to in the harrison way but also that that also what is the role that we see that social media companies have i think that's the really interesting thing it's really important that we don't see social media companies as the police we don't see social media companies as the do you just read that we don't see social media companies actually as moral guardians we need to have the police there and with clear powers i think we get into trouble when politicians start to blur the

lines or indeed kind of on the other kind of commentators do that i mean we even said there that you think that we shouldn't see social media companies responsible having said that there is a problem isn't it you talked about harassment and this is you know so extreme in this case that we've talked about but there is a huge problem with online bullying and there's got to be a way of shielding children hasn't there when they use the internet so and also i just want to mention that you know a number of the heads of social media platforms have said themselves that they're skeptical about their own children using social media so what what has to happen. well well well absolutely i think it's really important to say that internet freedom is not the same as facebook doing whatever it likes that so obvious but also we have to take our own responsibility what would help is if social media companies are really clear that where their responsibility lies is one is to be

really clear about the values that inform their own websites and their own services and so that's in terms and can do that in terms and conditions i think for example that twitter uses her have a legitimate concern about say for example the far right a use of twitter that also i think many users simply don't understand and feel the that also sites don't actually enforce their own terms and guidelines in the way that they're and to stand it but that's very separate from also how politicians get involved we've seen for example the u.k. prime minister to raise a made today also calling out for it with a constant sound bite saying social need a new technique companies need to do more but they're also that will be specific in the way that as far as politicians are concerned the way to be clear about that is through the law because that makes accountable what we can't do is also kind of

shuffle off our responsibilities as a society and also to make a make. our policeman or a moral guardian because that really won't work ok we could talk for hours on this issue large scale but we've run out of time expert on social media and internet freedoms thank you very much for your opinions and expertise on this now russian athletes could be banned from the upcoming winter olympics even if they haven't been found guilty of doping we take a look at that story after this break. you know one of the things we saw in this entire campaign leading up to trump selection was very little discussion of the facts nobody said look you know you may be the smartest person in the world in your area of treating people in the real estate market but when it comes judge fully understand economics you have no background i

think any you know good economists could possibly have won that election. the press great and attention to that. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so would you want to be president and should. want. to do it for us this is what before three of the more people. interested always in the water. there should be. welcome back to the program the international olympic committee has released information on why some russian officers have been excluded from the upcoming

winter olympics they come out seventeen points focusing on alleged violations by the athletes the panel claims to have reviewed information based on a moscow data base and allegations presented in mclaren report on alleged tampering with samples earlier the head of the i.o.c. said brush nazis would be banned from the games in south korea for even the slightest suspicion they had been doping. the i.o.c. wanted to give clean russian athletes the opportunity to participate and give a young a new generation of clean russian athletes the opportunity to be at the olympic games and be ambassadors for a new clean russian sport there could be suspicion there could even be an ongoing procedure there could be many factors which did not lead to the satisfaction of the panel the purpose is to invite clean russian athletes for which this panel is certain and has not the slightest doubt or suspicion the move comes in response to accusations of widespread doping in russia dating back to the twenty fourteen sochi

winter games a comprehensive list of who can go to china will be published at the weekend but the russian quote will be slashed to one hundred sixty nine athletes instead of four hundred those said to miss out include some of russia's next generation of athletes and also more established stars like by athlete out on a ship event and speed skater victor on neither have ever tested positive for battle substances and the situation that the russian athletes are facing has received criticism from around the world sport's lawyer velo news says the i.o.c. is not following basic legal principles. mclaurin report was was based in the beginning as specially on anonymous sources no documents not provide that icing the zs not fair now they're trying to back it up with intelligence you see it already did prove that the report as it was used to discredit all athletes

was not a proper report in the beginning timing is a little bit problematic because as you know the athletes will have very short period of time of trying to appeal or correct these decisions which are taken with view to exclude everybody who has the slightest doubt on his record and that it is not acceptable because normally if you have to go through a dumping proceeding in in. the normal sports world in the normal proceedings you and and. doping authority has to prove ninety nine point nine percent that you are guilty that you have dope but here it is reversed it if you say the slightest doubt is enough to exclude somebody then you say one

percent is enough so that is absolutely unacceptable it's not acceptable and it's legally of course not acceptable for round up of the need. to hear the top of the hour with more. manufactured. public wealth. when the ruling classes protect. themselves. with the flaming merry go round to listen to the one percent. in the middle of the room six. million more you leave the room.

here is what people have been saying about redacted the night the second is full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch to sleep yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same thing we are apparently better than the flu vaccines that some see the savior you never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank so take on the many seriously send us an email. level one hard sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that still. produce offspring to tell you that so be gossiping template file for the most important news today. off advertising tell you on the cool enough and buy their products. all the hawks that we along with all our good walking.
