it is unfair and a lot of hurry a lot abdul's best friend how much managed to win hash much applied for his visa while still in afghanistan and after a two year wait he was brought over to the u.k. under the government's official afghan interpreter scheme do you feel guilty sometimes that you got the visa and abdul didn't buy one visa for every interpreters who spend time over the taleban is under seventy per cent going to be almost all it will be able to be you're searching for people. that they work with. like night before so. everyone gets back in afghanistan abdul was a professional boxer he can't compete in the u.k. because he doesn't have a work permit but he can still train since i came here he can do nothing to staying at home going out sometimes they keep him busy with my trainings you google my

market i told him and if you're human being. bold move a very. few of the challenging part. of the work that the world. should be all me but i have a full. view of the rugby. for a for which you would go to people who would trust the rules. and if we. were named above you were all abdul can do now is wait for his final appeal against deportation to be considered by the home office problem turf either in afghanistan . or the same cost there was a big third for me the taliban and have i have a very bad depression day by day my depression is getting worse so i'm buried about my life and nothing could happen to me pretty boy who r.t.

greater manchester. officially the u.k. government says it investigates every claim of intimidation and considers all cases on an individual basis. well we've asked for reaction to abdul bari situation from a number of organizations organizations that focus on human rights we haven't heard anything back yet when we do we'll let you know what they say. next on to russia sentiments and i go over alarm clocks lots a glimpse into the alleged kremlin campaign to influence the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election from a database of tweets from supposed moscow linked accounts released by an american news outlets correspondent jacqueline bouvier has been looking over the tweets foresees but with us now jackie will get into the nuts and bolts of what's in these tweets in a moment but first why these tweets being seen is so important well for a while now social media use has been wrapped up along with the allegations of russian meddling in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election in the u.s. scores of so-called russian took over twitter and facebook and all social networks

in order to influence potential voters and sway the election that's what the idea is here and suffice to say u.s. politicians are more than a little bit concerned about this let's take a listen to. the film porto's into our society russia has harnessed the tremendous and quite frankly to me frightening power of social media sowing discord in the us by inflame passions on a range of divisive issues truly troubling evidence. of the scope and reach of russia's interference in our last election ok they're clearly both good but take us through that what have you found you've been looking through these well what do you find in there is not fully what you might expect at the end of the day these deleted tweets of accounts that are supposedly linked to the kremlin were published by the news outlet and b c which they somehow got a hold of through a third party anonymous sources and you think it would be just chalk full of pro trump anti hillary you know make america great again tweet but that's not all

that's in there is those. tweets and whatnot but you know earlier the u.s. intelligence community community did say that you know try a putin want to trump in the white house trump and only trump let's take a listen to what the former f.b.i. director had to say about the. wouldn't hated secretary clinton so much that the flip side of that coin was she had a clear preference for the person running against the person he hated so much. and it is true that in this database there is a number of tweets that are either supporting trump outright or just against hillary specifically but the opposite of that is also true you can find in the mixed tweets that are for hillary quoting her speech is encouraging people to go out and vote for her support for bernie sanders the other democratic candidate is in there as well along with attacks on trump himself so it's all sort of in there a mix of everything because there's a lot of them is it all about the election many are completely off topic having

nothing to do with the election whatsoever so how those first meant to be swaying the election is up to anyone else's interpretation but there's tweets focusing on hard hitting topics such as the woes of sleeping in your contacts the dislike of alarm clocks and well because it's the internet porn as well is also in there and we've also been told over and over again that twitter bots you know use inflammatory tweets to sort of try and divide the country to pin people against one another but among these tweets there's also a number that are calling for a peaceful resolution to black life matters situations to bring together the country finding unity among one another but the real cherry on top of this to be found among this database is the entire russian tweets going on about russian hackers how hillary warned the world against russia collusion and how that needs to be investigated so these accounts that are supposed to be linked to the kremlin are tweeting about how the kremlin is interfering and then other governments elections

it just doesn't quite make sense so i mean the internet is a divisive place that's just a fact of the world and they specially when it comes to being able to anonymously write whatever you want so it really does feel like this question is just sort of the usual roundup of what you can find on the internet you know the. tweets found on twitter top research it's all right jacki berger thanks very much for that. the two unusual teams at this year's winter olympics one is the squad from north and south korea competing as one for the first time in twelve years in what's been widely seen as a positive sign that relations might be warming between them the other team is a limp athletes from russia known as o.o.a. are they taking part under a neutral flag after the doping scandal that hit the official team frank as are some spectators whether they recognize the rebranding of russia's athletes. it will take a long while for russian athletes journalists like myself that i can tell you first

sure to forget the acronym o. a r after chang twenty eight thing well just before the winter games a group of russian designers thought they could take advantage of the international olympic committee's language thanks. i put one of those on myself and decided to walk around near the olympic park a little bit. what kind of team did people with this kind of sweatshirt support i'm broaching. it's takes athletes really good deeds for the russian north koreans are doing north for russia the russian people will be here because they do it and if you lose the olympics then something

a little pick up fleets of russia what would you chant if you were annoying our team supporter oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh we've come from really. lego. to walk out how to make that up there is a russian bear siberian tiger the fear was. fear will make it sound when it's time to reach. for gold medals well judging by the first few days of the winter olympics the russian fans have chosen to stick to the more traditional chants and symbols.

play here we have a train go archie and young chang. a spike in anti semitic attacks in germany has prompted government action i'll have the details on that for you after the break. off to mars and coalition negotiations germany's through largest parties have provisionally agreed on a compromise that may yet fall through. these difficulties a sign of something major going wrong in german politics the birthing pangs of the country's fourth from the coalition. to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and should. want. to go on to be

first that's what before three of the more people. interested always in the waters and. growing concern among the jewish community in germany after more than fourteen hundred ninety semitic crimes were registered that last year there's also been a wave of anti semitic demonstrations with protestors burning israeli flags and chanting anti jewish slogans.

the german government says that it is addressing the problem last month and launched a special commission to monitor anti jewish incidents it follows years of appeals from the jewish community to raise awareness of the hate crimes we spoke to a rabbi in berlin who thinks people need to come together if the problem is to be defeated. it has to become much clear to people in this country especially to refugees that have recently arrived that we all share it personal responsibility and that it will not be tolerated where the burning of flags of israel whether the any attack on any community any child in the school will not be tolerated as years zero tolerance policy for anti-semitic attacks and that has to be clear it has to be not shoved under the carpet it has to be said

loud and clear and then people will realize a recognise that if they want to be part of this country there is also responsibility there is a personal responsibility of civil courage not only not to be revived in any any of any such acts but but also not to tolerate if you see something say something that we all have the personal responsibility to stand up for any minority and of course also for jewish people and jewish institutions. the french president is on course to take another campaign pledge of his list emmanuel mccraw promising to bring back compulsory military service and his party chiefs have been busy trying to whip up support. we call it the national service because it's the place where the youth of our country and the nation meet one another where they get to know that military service on the one hand and theirs and civil engagement on the other

it's where one gives his time to the nation and to society. what about the age range it will cover all age ranges both boys and girls will take part in the service will be obligatory and polls three years ago suggested that eighty percent of people were in favor of the move but now that's to end all to a little more than half shell to do benson has been asking people in paris what they think now to jump the pacific was well i think military service is something good this creates unity around the country but servant should be optional. at the moment it all seems quite crazy her as they say it will be obligatory then they say not so we don't know what to expect right now. do you play. are you ready to serve your country yes i have even tried to get in the army but i think that i try to build because it's really not my army training is definitely way stricter than the school curriculum but this experience gave me

a new perspective on things so i just something a little bit silly do you know the french national anthem. do you welcome or do you know how to march like a soldier as others do it but it's quite difficult to read a neck that would you prepared to just give us a short rendition of like the first part or all the main parts of it. that. the. french military expert javier morrow told us that he doesn't expect mcclung plan to work out. when my call is no being a one of is a new at least it did during a campaign talking about three or six months is a concentration and couldn't work because to teach the basic note

ages to the basic skills to a soldier it needs many mom three months is it's impossible to make something useful for a. modern army like the french army where there is a many high tech nicole systems and now you're up to date i'm calling bright thanks for choosing our team to update you this hour i'll be back in just over thirty minutes also to update you again in the meantime in the meantime check in with us on twitter and facebook you get around the clock unless we like to. make this manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. with the final merry go round to

be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. for. all to see we have a great team we need to strengthen before the freefall world called better than a legend to keep it tight at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very. no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best

since my last will call him and that stories are as we've. thousand zero zero zero zero hidden here icon rush on. life drive. left left left more or less ok stop that's really good that in america a college degree requires a great deal. paying a decade's long debt. studying so hard it requires trust. to go he through humiliation to enter an elite society. and dead sometimes quite literally. wants are the true colors of universities in the us.

greetings and salutations if the economy is the beating heart of a nation infrastructure as spain's bones of muscle this week u.s. president donald trump and his administration introduced his massive one point five trillion dollar infrastructure plan to the country and reviews are also always say. downright diabolical according to the new york times trump's plan puts little emphasis on how much an infrastructure proposal benefits the public and more on finding private investors and other outside sources of money elliot sklar a professor of urban planning and international affairs at columbia university told the times that instead of the public sector deciding on public needs and public priorities the projects that are most attractive to private investors are the ones that will go to the head of the line so in the competition for federal infrastructure funding it appears that trump's planted that of former developers is

essentially putting private companies and other developers at the head of the line while putting the actual needs of society all the way to the back as professor scar elaborates private investors will become the tail that will lead the dog because they'll want projects that will give returns in two thousand and seventeen the american society of civil engineers annual infrastructure report card has given the united states of america a d. plus d. plus the infrastructure problems within the united states are becoming quite legendary especially for a country with such a great history of infrastructure marvels from the railroad empires of the eight hundred hundreds to the construction of the hoover dam but you see this is what happens when a country puts the military industrial complex on a financial pedestal and its politicians make decisions based on short term cheap applause rather than long term hard honest vision it's time for the big

ideas and the big risks once again it is time to start watching the hawks. if that's. what they like you know that i got. it. this. week so. well we're on the watch of the harks i am tired robot and on top of the wallace joining us from los angeles is the one and only sean stone always a pleasure sean. so i want to like first let me just quickly go over this and say look the bedroom government according to trump's plan will be pro providing about two hundred billion of the one point five trillion in funding the administration is

essentially laying its hopes to structure funding in a way that offers incentives to state governments and local governments and private companies that will make up all that difference so let me start mass your tab first with trump promising infrastructure throughout his campaign that's all we heard a lot of times on the rebuild america's infrastructure which i think all three of us can agree is a good thing to get onboard with tell that you've been a long champion of rebuilding infrastructure what are your thoughts on the plan can he do it well i don't think it's a plan to actually get it done i mean funding is a major problem now already and what doesn't make sense is that you're looking at. someone pushing through a whole bunch of spending which we need to do and what this plan does is reverse it so there's even less less money coming from the federal government there's less money going into you know the highway fund there is less money going and they've actually swapped it is going from instead of you know federal government be on the

pay eighty percent it's only going to pay about twenty percent and are going to have to fill the rest and with private industry and use that that is just one pay a big pay it bad idea private industry that if they're not going to make money it's not going to happen it isn't it isn't i don't know i think republicans are a little they don't like to spend money they don't like to do all that stuff they say they don't you know they don't like to spend money if they don't this is why we've waited ten. years to get the sun we're still waiting you know one of things i want to ask sean you covered infrastructure part of infrastructure in your documentary a century of where were you talked about how infrastructure is really a public good can you kind of expand. well absolutely in the documentary we elaborate on the notion that it's basically integral to dark to our nation going back to. the hamiltons report on manufacturers and how basically america as a republic like a major aspect of our revolution was actually about the idea of being able to manufacture refine our goods for ourselves in order to actually have manufacturing

and industry you have to have infrastructure that's how markets can thrive and grow you know markets don't just the free market concept doesn't take into account well what roads are going to get you to the market in the first place and allow in one of the currency for example currency is part of that right as far as infrastructure is concerned all these things that we don't think of whether it's water power internet all these are different aspects of of our economy and if if we don't have published some aspect of pop some level of public good basically you can allow for increasing inflation increasing privatization which allows for inflation so you're paying more for the basic necessities of life as opposed to putting it into the actual economy itself where you want to you know basically refined goods manufactured provide things that people can purchase those take a look at the clip from your from the century of war. back in seven hundred seventy six while the nation's adam smith made the point that literally the wealth of nations is what they manufacture the example that he used in the book was

a tree limb on the ground on the ground has no intrinsic value but if you apply human labor to it and turn into an axe handle you get something that now has value and will have value presumably for several generations it becomes part of the wealth of the nation for over one hundred years the whole idea of industrial capitalism in the west was that government was going to invest in infrastructure and provide the. social services freely roads education public health from the idea with the government spending on infrastructure it would lower the cost of living and doing business and make countries more competitive infrastructure might seem like the abstract but really it's basic things like roads and bridges but also more high tech into the structure like our you know connection wireless or broadband those kinds of the things and what it does the next people the share of income that we put into it for structure is gone down starkly and so now the studies show that the quality of our industry on whether it's roads whether it's

broadband is on par with less developed countries. and that's the sad case and you know it feels to me like every single election season either it's not brought up one it is brought up whether it's obama or whether george bush or now donald trump they've all promised us all were they all promised to do infrastructure but it seems like every time that political promises broken or like you know maybe a quarter or it's all smoke and mirrors which many are calling kind of trumps plan or privatization i want to ask you this how does like why do we feel like we keep getting lied to why are politicians continuing to lie to us or just breaking promises at least about infrastructure well one thing about that that i can head on is that. the problem is politicians it's infrastructure projects take a long time you know a bridge takes five six seven eight ten years from start to finish any project with roads takes two three four five years from start to finish those politicians by the

time that the project is done they're out of office they don't get credit for it and when over the years i've talked to a lot of people and that's been the story that a lot of publishers you know want to do it because they won't be there to see it through i'm sure your thoughts. well it's interesting i mean certainly that's i think one aspect of it. on the whole though because we talk about the documentary as well just then the. notion of wealth has not been considered in it infrastructure in this country probably since the second world war at that point we were still constructing dams and electrification under f.d.r. and eisenhower building the highways but it was also there was a certain amount at that time period of building the nation and strengthen the place in the nation for like military purposes you know the highway system was for military connection right so that we could be able to connect to cities and have tanks and all kinds of preparation so now that we're going into a place where we still spend almost a trillion dollars on defense and it's always you know defensive it's also the

corporate splurge the finance it's about wall street that's how we think of wealth in this country i don't think the people are sophisticated enough to really a care and also understand the really correlation between wealth and infrastructure that's a good point exist politicians it's always a very shortsighted thing it's like it's like other goods that you guys are both perfect kind of and that is what politicians very what gets me elected next year and they're not having the understanding of how actually these things are all intertwined and how they how they actually can build that you know can truly build the country out because you know they're blind and they live in a bubble you know and no drums big part of his plan is privatized they shouldn't really kind of they say it's not and they kind of say well we're states and cities but really when it comes down to it a lot of it has to do with you know building you know roads that eventually will be toll roads i mean private you know private companies handle that kind of thing which is ultimately very dangerous oh absolutely i mean we already have nothing against foreign investment but we have foreign countries there's

a spanish company that runs toll roads here so ultimately what happens is you have a foreign country owning the right to take money for road and their needs are going to be a bottom line of private companies the is there going to be i need to pay this we need to make money or what's the point of investing investors want return and if those roads don't serve returns which eventually people are just going to use a different. we're going to avoid tolls as much as humanly possible yeah i know you guys talked about the danger of privatized nation in some surreal war. yeah exactly i mean it's it's dangerous and so far as especially comes to repairs in particular but things like water like roads that are not going to say make make the charge as much as a train system might for example or a power plant and i think that's the danger is privatization chooses basically where they want to put money so you'll see what what did we say that such a bore regarding privatization. that if you look at road systems if you look at the train network you get anything that has

a network effect the market doesn't figure out how to do those things on its own they need a right of way across property lines they need to generate revenue for the whole country not in a way that a private business can easily absorb so in those cases government should be more entrepreneurial because no private entity has the muscle all or the scale to do it because for the country every dollar we put in in this investment is going to generate two or three or ten dollars over a turn ultimately we have to remember about government has always played a role in infrastructure developing united states article one section eight of the us constitution congress was ordered to construct all the postal roads which was you know the seven hundred ninety persion of the internet it wasn't left up to the free market it was put into the u.s. constitution because it was seen as such a central. government function for the nation seven hundred ninety one george

washington asked alexander hamilton to come up with a plan to make america prosperous and came up with.
