an opening for air to want to proud of the throne as leader of the muslim world assistance to washington. why are you backing israel whether it's ok patient terrorism is that what you would defend one would think that the u.s. would take the theory of their ally into consideration before making any rash decisions but instead of treading carefully washington and to cut aid to all of the countries opposed to the jerusalem seems the most important problem between that states and turkey is that is that there is no you know nobody you know trusts this is the main problem for tricky especially people on government never rely on never trust in. you not to states and especially in middle. issues so whether this is all been delivered or not washington has only been tangling this not further and further. journalists in the u.s.

have noticed the quietly made online to the official mission statement of the national security agency it turns out the words honesty trust an openness are now all gone the old core values used to begin with the word almost the saying that the american people have placed great trust in the n.s.a. there for the agency promise to honor that with open this well know it instead starts with the phrase commitment to service your side of the n.s.a. explain the changes it's nothing more than a website that's all it is. the effort to delete words that are that mean a lot to americans such as honesty and transparency and what have you has is something that. is important but if if the national security agency's deleting it i think that that means that they're getting more according to reality as to just how these intelligence agencies work they are they're not called the deep state for

nothing and and the only thing that they did agree that they did keep was the provision of. respect in the law and and but but even there they fudge on that. a moscow cinema homes being raided by police after a show with a newly released british film the death of stalin the theatre but the film along despite it being bound in russia oh wow. fantastic this is a british movie and it is following the last days and the death of joseph stalin but also the political in a fight that ensued late and the reason it is having some troubles here in russia doesn't really have anything to do with the figure of joseph stalin hans himself it is mostly about the timing really because the showing of this movie was supposed to

coincide with the anniversary of the battle of stalingrad now this was one of the most decisive moments of the second world war and the bloodiest battle really and the movie and it is a dark comedy it is a satire and in this man a portrays some of the people that made this victory for russia the victory in this war possible for example marshall zuko who's now who's known here as the marshal of victory so the russian ministry of culture decided that maybe some people may find that the timing of the release of the movie a bit insensitive have a listen many elderly people will perceive it as an offensive mockery of the soviet past the country that conquered fascism and most disgusting the victims of stalinism we don't have censorship we're not afraid of critical assessment of our history the license for it was called off at the last moment so it can be shown

here in russia but some cinemas like the one behind me decided to you can or they saw all together because this one for example has tickets sold out for days ahead really now when it comes to the public opinion it is split some agree with the position of the ministry of culture and that some like veterans and those who cherish the memories of the great patriotic war they may find this movie a bit offensive but others are saying that this is art and this it is not intended to be sturrock accurate and shouldn't be taken too seriously i don't think they should have banned it whether one likes it or not is a person's business i believe during the time and i saw us terence funeral i was there and what i just showed. doesn't the found me you know well it's a terrifying film. i left as a comedy i think it would be well received in most countries i'm not sure it would be as funny for british canadian or american people or for those who know the historical context but for me it was interesting and it was a good comedy is very important to show the film and i'd like to thank the pioneer

cinema for ignoring the ban on the film it's worth the risk months ago a russian made movie found itself in an identical situation the film called matilda followed the love affair of the last russian tsar nicholas the second with a ballerina now the reason the that film faced so much opposition both from the politicians and from people in the street was because nicolas the second was made a saint by the russian orthodox church so the details some of the details of his love life could be disturbing for deeply religious people in russia the outcome of that story was the movie was allowed to run in cinemas and people had a chance to make of the room mind while the case of this movie it remains in limbo . the greatest sporting show on earth gets under way in russia this summer if you think that twenty eighteen three for world cup might inspire you to improve your footballing skills are very own star stunning collymore meets the man who designs

the boots of some of the game's greats. one guy came to me one day and said ok i need the crystal and flew crystal yet for my regular weekly game with my friend. that. sunday morning. choose the. kristoff he didn't want two thousand and six seven so we left him twelve years later and when he plays in some room sometimes issues i'm. probably close to. life. and i think that what we're going to do is we're going to make some stan collymore special boots i will make it seem real simple. just inspired by. your show they look really fantastic thank you thank you saw moche wish you all the

very best in the future i'm going to send you some black live a full full fruits and see what people will. twitter said it's found no substantial evidence of russian interference in the u.k.'s twenty sixteen it breaks it referendum the findings however have left some of those looking into the allegations of meddling on sophos find pushing for a further investigation this is how the conversation went between twitter and the head of the inquiry. we found that one percent of the accounts in the data were registered in russia could you confirm how many other accounts were being controlled from agencies in russia even if they were not registered there we do not have sufficiently strong evidence to enable us to conclusively link them with

russia the failure to obtain straight answers is simply increasing concerns about these issues rather than reassuring people are the worst us government isn't happy with the fact that twitter has provided for them and the thrust of choice as message is that one percent of accounts that have been identified as sort of meddling in the e.u. referendum which are registered in russia and this all started when questions were raised late last year about whether russia had perhaps in to ferret in that referendum the problem was that there was no proof to back up these claims of russian interference online and through social media platforms take a listen to what the foreign secretary boris johnson had to say about alleged russian meddling. is another of your.

i. think of. the u.s. . so with no facts and no evidence this was a topic that had still really snowballed into public consciousness it had drawn a lot of column inches and everybody very interested in it so the government launched an official inquiry into fake news and they are asked the big social media platforms twitter and facebook to provide evidence to them late last year when twitter and facebook came back to them the government said they weren't happy with what they had come back with a excuse twitter of stonewalling them and even threatened them with sanctions if they didn't cooperate properly. well facebook agreed to carry on a broader investigation into whether the kremlin's hundred was really at work in fla and sing the breaks at the bait the social media giants initial findings showed

that less than one pond was spent on the may have affected voting aurthur and journalists blumenthal things however that some continue repeating the claims regardless in order to advance a political agenda this whole saga of russia gate it really represents an attempt to export russia gate to other countries during the run up to the brakes if we heard nothing about russian influence but once russia gate exploded in washington opponents of bragg's it seized on the concept of russian meddling gets enough toxicity in the political bloodstream that it damages their opponents and they don't have time to push back and by the time they disprove the narrative the damage is already done. the german media has revealed a growing concern in berlin over the number of islamist extremists inside east europe those claims were based on classified documents obtained by germany's left

party patroller has been following the story there's a growing threat from islamic extremism in europe based in the balkans and the german government is keeping it to itself that's according to a highly classified report that's being seen by some left party m.p.'s the media. the german federal government cannot discount the basic threat posed by individuals and splinter groups in the islamist scene in bosnia herzegovina the hush hush document goes as far as to claim that there's a direct link between radical islamic groups in bosnia herzegovina and people in germany the true nature of what this heavily classified report says hasn't come out parts of it were redacted from the copy that was shown to the left party the federal government has been trying to downplay the growing islamist threat in public for the more it's entirely unacceptable that the government continues to cover up the role of the gulf states my colleague charlotta been ski travel to

bosnia herzegovina back in december she witnessed firsthand the situation on the ground there regarding islamic radicalization the local a mom is telling me that some of the residents have joined islamic state these women out of the building there are people who went to syria and forty on the side of i still but who tried to stop them it looks like an ordinary sleepy fillets a few houses nestled between the hills not how you might imagine a cradle of terror. a local a mom says he fears for his life after speaking out against those who joined eisel we would in a preview do these radical elements are always unpredictable and these people prayed with me the aide at the same table as me and they want to shoot me this has been edited version of the report issued by the government raises a lot of questions over what exactly germany knows about islamic radicalization in

the balkans and how bad the situation actually is as we see in the arts or to our parliamentarian question the german government gives the extra time it's expertize that it doesn't explicitly in the gate the possibility that single persons or groups who are belonging to the islamistic scene of bosnia or else the governor could be a threat to germany and europe but in the same time the government indicts to speak about it financial transactions that are provided for example by the govt states or turkey to the bike and states as well as the sending of the mumps by the states in contrary to the german secret service just now fish the german government tries to hide the fact of growing danger coming from islam is the groups from the public. there has been a blast from the past for britain's foreign secretary scientists have discovered that boris johnson is the distant relative of

a well preserved centuries old mummy i was on earth in switzerland. there you go more stories quite literally by the minute can be following the owner twitter page and i'm here with all the global news updates in huff on the reason i'm from moscow is our team.

i know a good that our men are more trouble than there are rather himself but god before orthodontic yes. i'm going to let him but i don't catch him any that kid and. i don't think as a child first of all that it doesn't. work then i'm all in my machine little subtle. and large. numbers set up around the hey i'm not doing. good for the whole fool but choice the i'm yours or you haven't failed to chime in syria has said. that she ought to give up somewhere else for them after the couple

fronts around mr hates it for jim and then oil for food are for him and for. me the money. yes there was but there was a. couple of you. jump in the last election i. would say well the young the old saloon but you know one of the things from up in the bush is that so. thank you for. the. scots. the new coach the. g.t.a. the easy reason. that. he was. the secret of the irish you can you get other cool news but then you must leave you did to miss all the mice in this mission.

ratings and salutation. you know any time you want to get the inside track on why politicians do with they do act how they act simply follow the money and if you follow the money here in washington d.c. you are most likely going to stumble across the massive floodwaters of money flowing into the district from our good friends at google yes twenty seventeen was a banner year for google as the tech giant spent a record breaking eighteen million to lobby congress federal agencies out of the white house on issues such as immigration tax reform and antitrust and according to disclosures filed with the senate office of public records google also spent a considerable amount of money to influence efforts by lawmakers looking to

regulate line advertising google's bread and butter i hope shocking shocking. but what you what might be more shocking to many of you was google's rather fascinating early connections to u.s. intelligence agencies like the cia and the n.s.a. writing for quartz jeff mez but the former director of legislative and public affairs for the national science foundation points out that in google's origin story what is often left out is that some of the research that led to google's ambitious creation was funded and coordinate by a research group established by the intelligence community to find ways to track individuals and groups online and that the cia and n.s.a. funded an unclassified compartmentalise program designed from its inception to spur the development of something that looks almost exactly like google if you're willing to take the dive you never know what surprises might lurk spin in the

surface of the washington d.c. silicon valley connections which is why we must always be watching the hawks. if that's. the bottom. like you that i got. this. week. well remember watching arcs i am i robot from time to have a. surprise surprise just a lot of money in. this last year twenty seventeen big money or virgin rules influence on washington eighteen eighteen million which isn't that we were just talking about the corn lobby of the other night and her money it was being pumped

in and how much power they have over capitol hill and now here. here's our tech joy the tech giants are friendly folks if you think they'll do if you're not going to graphic around learned. a lot of the other day. i don't know but they're not the only ones i know they're not the only no and that's the thing about silicon valley in the tech industry is definitely putting their money. into into into capitol hill so facebook amazon and apple all broke records their own company records for a lot they spent the most which is strange since they spent all that money. yet they still had to go up in front of congress and it looked like they guy you know laughed with spaghetti noodles right that's right over here they have a lot of money in the twitter they got blood blasted by congress were you here when you look at it facebook increased their spending by thirty two percent from the previous year you had they spent about eleven million dollars amazon spent thirteen

million on lobbying in washington last year and apple increased its lobbying money by get this fifty one percent fifty one percent so combined google amazon facebook and apple devoted fifty million dollars fifty million dollars to lobbying efforts and twenty seven teams so again why are they getting pushed around by congress and being treated like the redheaded stepchildren of industries but that's the big question are they really yours or just all like the dog and pony show was the thing that's the only real i don't know or maybe they're just not very good at lobbying because they're not used to sitting at the top are there no usually the big no i don't or i'm going to loan money you know. in kept on capital you know here in washington are normally. you know telecom and defense to port contractors out. and boeing held the top slots you know generally dominated it

last year so for tech to come in but that scares me a little bit because you know i was. i was an adult living through the last tack and i see a lot of similarities like this idea that it will never end the money is never going to stop it's always going to be amazing except it's not it will not and that's on my body wakes up one day and reacts there a lot more than they were the day before but at least with the tech bubble you had lots of different technology companies now i'm seeing that same thing that you see all over again we just see the pyramid effect where suddenly it's just one big one to rule them all you know i mean there's really there's what twitter you know what you tube's owned by google i think you know you just see that that same kind of like thing much like the media entertainment business web site five companies control all of our media now we're seeing the same thing on the internet so to speak words like ok there's like these major companies they control and what's frightening about that is like i talked about at the start of the show you know is google's ties to the intelligence community that they don't really have to bounce

they deny they say look you know see i didn't start us and they didn't see i didn't start them but there definitely was fingerprints there early early early early on before going on we have our google money you know investing in the technology that ultimately became the search engine. which is obvious i mean i don't think it's that odd or out of line. it's not a conspiracy theory they do they invest in other areas they use taxpayer money to do certain areas that they feel would be helpful in defense in and maybe any intelligent being cynical but then you have to ask that next question is is if if if i gave you a bunch of money to have out there when you were first starting out i didn't but if i did give you a bunch of money when i first. then later on if you know i came knocking on your door saying hey can you give me a little hand with like being able to spy on these people over here or do a little sort of like this that may or may not be legal or above board you might be more susceptible to saying well i'm going home i doubt it and oh yeah because you

owe them so it's years of there's a bridge down the mass of digital data systems and. it was a project sponsored by the n.s.a. cia and the director of central intelligence is managed by dr behold bonnie thorazine. razing i'm sorry if i've messed up your name dr body who told investigative journalist nephews ahmed twenty fifteen we funded stanford university through the computer scientists jeffrey allman who had several promising graduate students working on many exciting areas one of them was a bridge the founder of google the intelligence communities m d d s program essentially provided brims seed funding which was supplemented by many other sources including the private sector so essentially was like the early seed funding now before google really became google intelligence community fingerprints and now google's run in congress with that much money it's an interesting interesting change interesting snake right there. in that was filled with hate in their heart

against other human beings ever truly see the light well it seems that a former executive member of the state legislative committee and brandenburg germany's far right anti islamic alternative for germany are a hefty party hats forty eight year old arthur wagner resigned from the party and his leadership position on january eleventh and he took his shot at the declaration of faith in islam as part of his conversion to becoming a member of the muslim faith wagner didn't just come to islam overnight though it seems that while as a member of the f.t. he worked for the refugee welcoming committee as an interpreter most of his work having been with muslim chechens fleeing persecution and while the party swears that his conversion was not to an issue for them and wagner says he left the party for personal reasons it's hard to imagine an islamic convert being welcomed in a party that believes quote islam does not belong in germany we see the ideology of my multiculturalism as

a serious threat to social peace and cultural unity so i wonder are the days of extremists parties. posing as legitimate political movement starting to weigh in as even their top members find peace with their former enemies boy i certainly hope so i mean i would i would really love this see this kind of extremism of thought and ideology that we've seen rise up over the last i would say i will say ten twenty years maybe twenty five i've seen this kind of steady growth of that both here in the states and overseas and i hope that people you know like this guy's story words like you have once you begin working with people and seeing them that they're not your enemy seeing that they're human beings like yourselves same wants needs that you get changed over your very dramatically because you know what i will be muslim yeah you know but i hope that that happens and it's something that is actually right about the actual there's a leave yes there's actually something to this in the madness that somebody who you know as we see it with former klan members and then they start to talk to members

of the african-american community and then they sort of become you know the american history x. and things like that you have seen these moments and it's something called contact hypothesis and the idea is that wagner so the idea is is saying that wagner who's of russian descent and speaks russian may have experienced this thing called contact apotheosis while he was working with these chechen refugees so the contact hypothesis says that under appropriate conditions interpersonal contact is one of the most effective ways to reduce prejudice between majority and minority group members so by spending time in a situation that didn't cause anxiety for someone like wagner who had a bias against islam it allowed him to sort of let go as to have this fear and he was able to overcome it and in overcoming that he found something he found something in that way of taking away these biases to worry about people coming and going whatever became where he found something or you know so it always starts with fear you know all these stories they always start with some basic fear that even

a lot of times the person doing the most hating doesn't realize just how scared they. you know the that's how usually works it's interesting because it was a former party leader on the war was asked to leave the dutch far right politician . freedom party he was kicked out of the party when he converted to the muslim faith and traveled to saudi arabia for the heart of the pilgrimage to the back of he called his former life you tile in aimless new you go it's not saying that you know there's one religion better than the other anything like that but you see these people who use of a lot of hate prejudice and then suddenly spend little time with somebody without like i think the key word to use without stress that is a really big thing about contact hypothesis is that you know when you're standing out screaming at someone you're never going to change their mind which is why the you know anti-abortion protesters aren't really having a whole lot of you know they don't have a lot of success in the ground of having people just change their mind and suddenly

right away because you're not coming to them in a hopeful situation or coming to them as a human where he they found common ground he spoke russian and he was from you know use of russian descent so there was an understanding of called three understood the language and here he was and he opened up and understood something because they both were in a place where the anxiety of their their biases returned how many times to both you know the activists on the right or activists on the left how many times to have a we had that conversation together in public whatever gets on the show where it is just about communication you can't yell at someone and expect them to sub know your ideology you know you know that's the key here with who are right and are going to court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover the facebook and twitter see our poll shows at our t.v. dot com coming up you may never look at airline coffee the same ever again i'm sorry our t.v. .
