the court if it ruled again in favor of russian athletes at the i.o.c. president thomas spark was certainly scathing about the decision when that came through it would have been viewed very much as a decision on the mind of the i.o.c. is all thirty and also very much put a spoke in the wheel while. hundreds of supporters of a far right party of clashed with police in the center in the italian city of match a rotter just a week ago match or rather so for their racially motivated shooting which left six injured. and. was. the shooter was targeting african migrants police found a copy of hitler's mind camp in his apartment as well as a flag with a far right symbol to said he acted after the death of an italian woman allegedly killed by a nigerian asylum seekers. far right shooter is sparking massive debate about the

growth of neo fascist forces in italy italian as well as foreign media weighed in on this the shooter's lawyer told journalists his client was greeted as a hero when he arrived in prison police say the racial and religious violence has soared in recent years now these are the shocking numbers that have come from italian police they say hate crimes have jumped ten fold in just the space of four years the issues raising concern at the very highest level at least justice minister has revealed he was threatened when he visited the match you are to shooting victims in hospital in immigrants drawn to do. i received threats against me and my family but i was the first is thrown away when the time comes to take action so in the. meanwhile a video has appeared in the media showing the man sure are to shoot to shaking hands with the leader of the right wing leaguer nord moreover the shooter stood as a candidate for the party at local elections last year invited the league north councillor to debate the issue. if this guy did what he did he

became a criminal so we are very strict about it and our . we pons our pencil in the next election the people will use it to vote and this is the only way we act any violent act carried out by an immigrant it seems like the response is is also considerable surely this is not good for the country as a whole how do you feel about what's been reported the rise of nationalism and fascism in italy we are just telling you the people we need lo we need control of a county we cannot lose our identity because italy if this mood of immigration will rise and we will lose. a dainty ally of your party the former soviet belle is going to he's called migrants

a time bomb now is fairly aggressive rhetoric is only going to further divide people you said your weapon is your pension should we be trying to bring people together we found always the right way to act together and when we have been in the government the last time in two thousand eighty two two thousand and eleven we practically stopped the arrival of illegal immigrant in two thousand and eleven we had only four thousand arrival in one year in last year we had the more than one hundred forty thousand arrival of illegal immigrants in it and so you can see the difference and this is a bomb because at the most of those people are illegal they will never go get the. paper refugee because just the five maximum ten percent of them is a real refugee. three giants of social media have been grilled by

a panel of u.k. lawmakers it's over allegations of russian interference on the platforms during the briggs's vote but there has been little if anything to back up those allegations be looked at all advertisements of any connection to russia and we found no evidence of our services being used to interfere in the referendum a very small number of suspects its research agency linked accounts forty nine such accounts were active during the campaign which represents must not point nor five percent of the total number of accounts these are very low level things until we complete this investigation we won't know what we haven't had this. information that's enabled us to target on a particular page or a particular phenomenon despite all their commitment enthusiasm and hard work spanning over a period of really several months when this inquiry kick started it seems like the u.k. parliamentary committee that's trying to find out the truth about

a russian any breck that meddling they seem to be really hitting a brick wall this week they travelled all the way to washington thousand thousands of miles presumably having spent thousands of pounds to get there and what they ended up with while questioning the executives of twitter you tube and facebook was just a frustration it seems and that was thick in the atmosphere investigative journalism for instance as it led to suggestion that there are lots of campaigns going to have it looks like you haven't looked have you that's the thing you haven't looked at this economy. going on in the horror like you just well it seems who didn't look with twitter and what they said they found was that they were only forty nine accounts connected to russia during the time of the break that referendum again i'm no mathematician so correct me if i'm wrong perhaps but it seems that there is and this is really nothing to write home about given that twitter has one hundred. of

millions of accounts and despite the chair of this committee damian collins saying that his quote instinct tells him that the number should be higher that did not turn out to be the case so despite this ghost chasing continuing and the committee keeping asking the executives to look harder it seems now fruitful results so far. much of the media's seemingly been hungry for a scandal which the russian investigation so far as failed to provide it is not reflected in the headlines see for yourself first of this one says twitter has finally conceded russian accounts tried to influence briggs it virtually just a few small words at the bottom explain the story is about a few dozen accounts of the same with the times headline which admits the existence of so-called russia trolls the first paragraph that reveals there were only forty nine search suspicious accounts and there were more example you need to look even deeper to dig actual numbers out of a lengthy article the radio host told us that the russian investigation is

searching for a ghost. this is a farce these employees went all the way to washington to question do they don't understand how the internet works they could've got them on a skype call a question that it's far soko a waste of taxpayers' money and it's a very very annoying it's a joke they act in an almost kangaroo court fashion following questions that you and one of the waiting to listen to the answers you know well i don't think the british public care they know why people voted for let's just get over it and accept democracy. woman in california who's been a prominent face of the anti harassment me to movement has found herself for the center of a sexual misconduct storm she's been accused by at least two men of inappropriate behavior of these as the story democratic assemblywoman christina garcia has a reputation as a fierce advocate for women and as the national recognition for condemning sexual

misconduct race is that if you start if you we should not have to be on yourselves to make this but. the powers that be can protect time magazine's silence breakers issue centering on speaking out against harassment even featured garcia's face in the artwork and inclusion that garcia was humbled by posting on twitter that she was proud of the work being done and the issues clearly personal in october garcia revealed to the new york times that she has also been sexually assaulted by men in her workplace multiple people have grabbed my bottom grabbed my breasts we're talking about senior lobbyists and lawmakers earlier this week garcia even helped pass a bill granting whistleblower protections to legislative staff who are victims of sexual misconduct announcing after the bill's approval that you were not standing alone and yet news has now broken a two man accusing garcia of sexual harassment one of the alleged victims is a former legislative staffer highly ironic considering the bill she helped pass is

meant. project legislative staff probes already been launched into the incident alleged to have happened back in two thousand and fifteen after an assembly softball game danielle farrow claims that while she was intoxicated garcia rubbed his back and squeezed his buttocks before attempting to do more than reportedly quickly extracted himself from the situation and it looks like this may even be a pattern for garcia as a second accuser story is eerily similar an unnamed lobbyist alleges that a drunk or c. accosted him last may making graphic sexual proposals or trying to grab his crotch she came back and was whispering roo close and i could smell the booze and see she was pretty foregone she looked at me for a second then sit acidic goals. he says he adamantly rejected the offer at this point garcia's camp has only responded to the first accusation the details of these claims have never been brought to my attention and till today i can also say i have zero recollection of engaging in appropriate behavior and such behavior is

inconsistent with my values but if we've learned anything from the need to movement it's that accusations carry more weight than denials and once one person comes forward the floodgates tend to open. tensions already threatening germany's proposed growing coalition after the social democrats leader revealed the no longer so you could ministerial position more on what martin short his decision means for the country's current turbulent political scene is all these peter all of it in berlin. on wednesday it seemed we may have been getting to the bottom of germany's governmental crisis a deal had been hammered out between angela merkel's conservative bloc in the center left social democrats and it looked like martin shultz was set to be installed as the next foreign minister of germany friday evening and all that has gone out the window martin schultz has announced he won't be taking up that position as germany steve chief diplomat and rumors are abound he's being forced to step down from that by some disgruntled colleagues high up in his own party who

actually blame him for the party's current failure as well mr schultz put out a statement himself explaining in his own words why he wouldn't be taking up a post i renounce joining the federal government and at the same time i hope that this will in the personal debates within the s.p.d. we all make policies for the people in this country and my personal ambitions must be behind the interests of the party but it's a social democratic party that's in real bias straight at the moment earlier on friday we saw the current foreign ministers gabrielle lash out at martin schultz saying that all that was left was regret it how little respect there was between senior figures within the party couple that along with the youth wing of the s.p.d. a vocally campaigning against joining a coalition with angle and merkel they've been seeing around twenty thousand or certainly more than twenty thousand people signing up to join the party since

january behind the slogan sign up and say no if the social democrats vote against the grand coalition deal it all falls apart and we started friday talking about the potential political future of angela merkel whether even if this grand coalition goes ahead she would stay for a full four year term we've ended friday and certainly those in that low politically here in berlin offended fried. thing could this be the end of the political career of martin schulz the former. parliament president well he still remains a member of the bundestag but what his future holds right now is really anybody's guess that's after he said he won't be taking a seat in a cabinet with angela merkel should that coalition deal go ahead. human rights watch has accused the iraqi kurdish security forces of mass executions of suspected

islamic state fighters this was back in august the report claims that the killings took place near the town of zoom are where a parent mass grave has been found the iraqi kurdish government denies these accusations claiming that the bodies belong to eisele fighters killed in battle with kurdish forces we discussed the findings with its author senior iraqi researcher for human rights watch swill. since september we've been looking for an eyewitness who can testify to the fact that the men were captured and were captured alive and later they were killed by critics the curity forces. and and what we found two weeks ago is the actual great site and now we know where the bodies. were after it was shelled and where the bodies were then. what in the reports that we've got these today we include excessive material including photos videos satellite imagery of the past great site as well as footage of my face that we are also still

the coalition to demand that the quick one which the government demonstrate that they are taking this seriously and that they're holding those commanders in places that. it's really contingent on the international community take a very strong on this matter and make sure that the tonic that. the olympics are the only massive sporting event the fans are getting excited about they see if thirty two nations from around the world will take part in the twenty eight team football world cup this summer nigeria will be the eleven zero african team has ever won the competition the stone cold more so than with nigerian star the obama going you can check out what he thinks about the events thus coming up a little later on friday for now is a quick preview of what you said enough with me from three hasn't won it yet and always good to see that. green a global grind everybody playing in nature this late where it's going to happen soon all the lights are african football. and told to

see that there are a lot of problems besides football the focus is not just on building up the future and therefore becoming successful as a nation. but it's more on like temporary thing then you have maybe political issues inside of the inside of the borders something like the new president. someone with somebody. telling telling them so it's almost it's too many different problems that are not for the cause of being successful those structures that you need to build. in african football you have to upgrade the league you have to have to build better conditions for training. over each out the full version of that interview coming up a little later here on r.t. international today so for this hour see with more latest news.

across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies. this is the simple song alone even five companies elsewhere they invite private companies to take over their utilities anybody tell us. you guys you got on the program because. this is. just because. of what you found of the left bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also over water the water it's about to hurt and the redistribution of. debt downwards if you want or what. the pentagon recently released its new nuclear posture review its critics are stunned not only the use of nuclear weapons is now more thinkable but it's also

been threshold for the use is been lowered dr strangelove would be proud it's a world facing another dangerous arms race. greetings and sal you take actions all right hauke watchers here's your challenge of the day can you name all of the different countries that the united states military machine is currently fighting in or operating in well let's see here the top of my head well the obvious ones like iraq and afghanistan good old afghanistan seventeen years strong and still no end in sight and then of course there's syria where u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson recently promised us and. promised us all an open ended u.s. military presence despite the pesky little fact that it's completely illegal for us

to be there without an invite. and we can't forget the various countries in africa where we've got drones and special forces rampaging across the land think we're of yemen yemen is out there but i don't know does yemen count i mean saudi arabia is actually the one kind of fighting there but if the saudis are using all of our weapons and logistics isn't that basically the same thing i don't know and now sadly we've got a new country added to the game board or rather an old one that's new again the philippines yes some forty three years after the end of the vietnam war u.s. forces are heading back to southeast asia how retro under the proud patriotic sounding banner of operation pacific eagle the lead inspector general report to congress tells us that quote according to the d.o.d. officials operation pacific eagle philippines is a comprehensive campaign to assist the armed forces of the philippines in their fight against violent extremist organizations including those affiliated with isis

and other terrorist groups that do not profess a connection to isis. my goal of our new military campaigns the report goes on to state that the department of bugs did not provide an anticipated end date for operation pacific eagle. because that's just what the american people in the rest of the world need right now yet another never ending conflict involving the united states. i guess we will have plenty of time to always be watching the hawks. what do you think there's a. real this is what. you need to pull out of. your. like you that i got. this.

week so. welcome everybody to watch the harks i am a robot girl and i'm having a lot less so yeah ready hot shocked shocked that i was there when. i find it really disturbing that we once again are in this situation where the idea that we say we've been in this conflict for seventeen years and nobody goes well it's just how it is these days that's terrifying there when you think about that there are there are kids today that were born into play in afghanistan when it was out war are now becoming adults what do you think that does when you spend your entire life. great point that's a really really surrounded by war and i think that's the big question on everybody's mind is is that nobody really ask what this is kind of they are underneath all the clamor is are we really ready for this as a globe as a as

a country as a people as a culture because when you look at us going into the philippines now to assist there in the war on terror but a new way of the main excuse over and over to justify this kind of i dare i say imperialism and militarism. when you look at this it's like ok we were already in the philippines we had a base there subic bay. now we're going back to places that we already did fight in like just forty fifty years ago like it's now come full circle retreading old ground we fought so much there's not many places left that we haven't fought already well in the other what we did when we have things left over from the last war we just move them somewhere close by really save on shipping things home if we just keep going the old post world war two about us and post world war two after the end of the war there was all this equipment in japan sitting there that had been used because they were going to use it to invade japan they didn't have to then that all got sent to. vietnam and one of the things that's

interesting to look at is how this is seen around the world or how it's perceived. as specially and why and what's going on in the philippines because this idea that we're fighting these terrorists and i'm saying their government super government it's hard to tell which ones which roland symbol and is a professor at the university of philippines and a scholar of u.s. military activities in the region recently told many press news that in his view internally it is directed against the philippine left and externally to use the philippines as a springboard to reassert u.s. military power in the senate which brings us back to you know two years ago when i was in japan everybody there was talking about the specific policy. the pacific you know we're going to pivot we're going from the middle east now we're going to get into the war in the south pacific and what's really interesting to me was right now they're saying it's going to be about two hundred three hundred guys you know service of your soldiers and they're now it's like logistics and weapons and things

like that to all help deter you know kind of basically run its course and fight these terrorists they've been fighting for the last years large so who the terrorists in that situation though are. and then they're saying that that number will remain unchanged but i don't buy that that's going to stay they always promised it always just going to be advisors always just going to be this a little venture lead escalates but one of the big reasons that's not being talked about is the other reasons why the philippines and that region is so interesting which is the value would you believe it it has capitalist roots and really i know it's not all humanitarians corporate conglomerates have coveted this two hundred twenty thousand hectare. sun marsh which u.s. diplomats had kept cables back in two thousand and six i think we talked about it not that long ago wiki leaks had gotten these cables and in those cables what you saw was that they were there's untapped mineral wealth totaling anywhere from

estimates about eight hundred forty billion up to one trillion dollars so of course we want to get our dirty little fingers and there and i know what this is if you control these these resources you can control certain things this is that it's not a place to be sticking those things and here it is a list those are their resources they're the people of the philippines resources you know at the end of the day they'd should decide what happens there not a dictator not anything else like you really it's very strange the same thing happening here most definitely most of. some restaurants have dress codes and if you don't have a tire you're wearing blue jeans you won't be allowed to eat their dining room now one of our bus transfer greasy diners to michelin star pop ups have a. child code banning kids strollers and even tantrums from their establishments even family friendly chef jamie oliver a father of five been strollers inside of his cornwall this restaurant fifteen due to space and fire safety concerns and those legitimate safety concerns for toddlers

often left unattended while mommy and daddy have brunch in two thousand and seventeen a five year old boy was killed when he wandered away from his parents at atlanta sundial restaurant and became caught between the window and the rotating floor but even safety concerns can change some people's minds that most if not all restaurants are discriminatory toward children and childless patrons have a habit of giving them judge mental looks which is where startup neverland squeak comes in an event planning company that caters to the one percent their need to have children but not actually have to be bothered with the realities of having children at least the special parents and kids only dinners and brunches there are for play or have play areas and snacks for the kids and even staff who can whisk away your fussy child to another room so you can guzzle mimosas and peace and and what will this three hour parenting utopia cost you between one hundred as three hundred dollars per person for a four course meal snacks and

a swag bag kids under to eat free and reality these dinners aren't really about dinner they're about getting wealthy parents together so they can sell them on luxury babies brands like bob obertan tickles and plum organic which is fine but it's not a model that is going to make life any easier for your average family or feasible for your average restaurant that would squeak founder melissa elders claims that children adapt quickly to their environment the more opportunities they have to eat at restaurants the quicker they'll learn how to behave of course they're still kids so meltdowns are bound to happen but they might happen less. yeah they might but they might just keep on being what they are unpredictable immature tiny humans who are they think gable of understanding what a restaurant is much less how to act. credibly saying to me what you're tell me is have is a basically this company creates this kind of brunch thing charging the super rich

like two three hundred dollars that come on in the special private parties that allowed it and the idea is that it's. pushing this new idea of changing the face of restaurants to be more inviting to kids not just for rich folks but for everyone across the board exactly the idea. they're trying to kind of normalize their idea of normalizing the idea of eating out with it but i think that i think while i don't i mean maybe five star michelin restaurants don't have as many kids is kind of a i mean the rest of the day i don't have children but i. did and at the end of the day i mean me a look at it may say ok. most parents are kind of like ok if you do have kids you've got to take them out get upset i'm sure discerning when you walk up to the restaurant and they're like oh i'm sorry like kids right now and it's like all right i was down the street find

a new place or whatever but at the same time when you get the babysitter for your kids and you walk into the er and then finally you get that night out with your wife and you're alone then you go in the restaurant and what happens with someone earlier was suddenly. able because everybody at home if i want to hear the kids i just are sending most parents i know especially think i was fine dining because it's this idea that's really supposed to be first duty is undermining i'm like who the heck is going out with toddlers to find out what's crazy but what's crazy is they say you know a lot of these branches are run by volunteer house and the company makes money by partnering with brands to do this by. and all that but one has to wonder like ok then why do you have a volunteer staff at the companies making money their answer to that elizabeth because we know that well some of the stuff is paid others don't get paid they choose to volunteer their time because they feel so strongly about the company's mission to normalise eating out with children i don't remember when children it was

normal the children went out like go to perkins go to the now i was or was there cold family restaurants or i can. blame that certain restaurants all the grilled cheese sandwich but. that's part of being a parent i guess special friend of mine is a parent of two young children under seven and what's very funny about that is she sort of pointed out that you know when you're kids you have to change your expectations you've got to change your you know you don't get to go everywhere all the time and do whatever you want but it's also this idea of is this a good place and for me i worked in the restaurant business for twenty years and i get really freaked out when i see kids not it's not really bad parenting it's kids wandering around i mean it's a very dangerous place to be for a toddler is a restaurant there's hot food hot play restaurants not have i'm like this is not a place to just let your kids run around so i think that's where a lot of people get angry with customers but for toddlers under three it's just.

it's not something they're prepared for like i said they don't even understand the difference they don't stand that this isn't their home they don't get it right and so putting kids in this position and daniel post senning who is the great great grandson of a marine of etiquette emily post actually said that some places are grown up places there's certain expectation that until kids are old enough you don't put them in that position to fail and i think that's the thing is is this idea that a toddler response to know how to act in a fancy restaurant or know how to do these things i think it's awful putting a lot of pressure on a kid who doesn't want to. look sometimes their kids not the thing most those unlike your kid be a kid we don't need the one percent to two just how to raise a kid you're already raised us all through television and with a. little more a little culture of watching the arts are those are going to break your borders don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered and facebook and t.v. see our full shows that are two dot com coming up at the very time you're in the hawks this is the conservative mind of rhyme.
