crimean authorities sensing the mood of the populace fully supported victory on the covert his decision to postpone the two thousand and thirteen european union association deal and side deeper ties to russia. as the events in kiev took their course crimean authorities issued a declaration putting into words the fears. it's people based on the will of the crimea who elected us we declare that we will not give crimea to extremists and neo nazis seeking to seize power in ukraine at the cost of the blood of the country and its citizens after the regime change in kiev rumors began spreading in crimea that the new authorities would be merciless to those that oppose them. this led to the pro russian demonstrations rejecting the new government in kiev. on february twenty seventh the government buildings in the capital of crimea were seized by pro russian protesters. the current crimean government was dismissed and the new leader
11:14 pm
surrogate acciona of was assigned as the leader of the crimean autonomy republic when you lead the below the knee of what i shall it's crisis go to kosovo still with you has this should. on march sixteenth the crimean referendum or so held and the people voted to leave ukraine and enter the russian federation. the situation in crimea is being presented as a russian invasion and again nobody looks at the seriously and looks at the poll numbers and some of the poll numbers done by the u.s. government agencies themselves showing that the people of crimea prefer being part of russia in the u.s. news media it's all been presented as the russians invaded they then station sham election with people with guns at their backs somehow they break the ballot boxes to get ninety six percent approval for rejoining russia idea of a referendum in crimea is just quite simply unconstitutional but it does raise
11:15 pm
questions on whether these folks really is free and fair especially given the heavy military presence in crimea right now errol so that's how it's been sold to american people the reality is very different atmosphere has to be any electrical thousands of people have gathered in the capital crime and safety. i'm from up all all of us funding away from a dem held last sunday in which the majority of people here overwhelmingly voted in support of being reunited with russia. there has been. political flow in there with enough of those. in the. so in the media so it. is a place in the west and. the

11:20 pm
was in. the u.s. indicts thirteen russian nationals over alleged online meddling in the twenty sixteen presidential election which must go cold absurd. u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson visits turkey in attempts to improve relations between the nato allies as tensions grow in syria over washington support for kurdish groups turkey because he just terrorists. the olympic spirit is being embraced by competitors from around the world at the winter games in south korea with rivals helping each other out. brazil specific russian athletes he offered me help technical help the fact that he was willing to reach out and help me and such like
11:21 pm
a desperate time shows that sport can bridge you know cultures it can bridge politics. r.t. international coming to you live from moscow i'm kate partridge thank you for joining us. and our top story this hour the u.s. justice department has indicted thirteen russian nationals over alleged meddling in america's twenty sixteen presidential election although deputy attorney general rod rosenstein has stated that these charges do not mean that the alleged russian meddling altered the election's outcome. and picks up the story. it's being widely reported that these individuals thirteen russian individuals as well as three russian entities are being charged with meddling in the us election but if you actually read the indictment there are specific charges there is no such crime
11:22 pm
under the u.s. federal laws known as meddling at this point they're being charged with conspiracy to defraud the united states as well as violations of the federal elections commission is act and the foreign agents registration act essentially it's alleged that these thirteen people as well as three entities purchased advertisements on social media and gaged in some banks transactions and tried to influence the elections of the united states they supposedly were disparaging hillary clinton and favoring donald trump this is just the latest in the ongoing bob muller special counsel investigation being conducted by the department of justice into allegations that trump allegedly colluded with russia during the presidential elections and that russia is somehow responsible for the election results and now at this point there has already been testimony before the u.s. congress about the impact of these alleged facebook ads and how they may have
11:23 pm
determined the elections this is some of what we heard before the u.s. congress showing that the impact of these ads may not be as broad as some of the mainstream media reports seem to hand. the film portals into our society russia has harnessed the tremendous and quite frankly to me frightening power of social media there. used to be very dos and discredit her democracy very or using our own social networks our friendships or family use and our biases and a few points against us. that one for. we determined that the number of accounts we could link to russia and that we're tweeting election related content was comparatively small.
11:24 pm
aggregate of these ads imposed were a very small fraction of the overall content on facebook but any amount is too much . these videos mostly handloom view counts. now the indictments serve almost as defacto sanctions against the individuals and entities listed while these individuals what we apprehended in russia and taken to the usa they certainly won't be traveling to the united states they'll be unable to set up bank accounts and such so these are almost serving as defacto sanctions we do have a response to today's indictments from the spokesperson for the russian foreign
11:25 pm
ministry tends out there with thirteen of them according to the u.s. justice department fifteen people were mentioning in the u.s. that should think against the billions on the budgets of the intelligence agencies against the intelligence counted ten digits against the state of the art technology so upset yes but this is america's move to and it's cool reality by the way why i think he apparently wants the only number with bob this is she a sions announce that only her at this point we also have a response from the president of the united states donald trump who earlier was briefed by the department of justice prior to their releasing of this indictment now donald trump stated on twitter he said russia started their anti us campaign in two thousand and fourteen long before i announce that i would run for president the results of the election were not impacted and the trump campaign did nothing wrong and he repeated the phrase often used throughout the process he repeated the phrase ending his tweet with no collusion furthermore we have a statement from the white house press secretary on behalf of the white house in
11:26 pm
which they urged americans to unite against what they call the bad actors saying that americans must unite to protect the integrity of democracy and elections urging urging urging folks to not focus on the divisions of the allegations of collusion. rather focus on uniting against russia so at this point now we have also heard in russian media there has been a response from the individual named in the indictment and called kind of the mastermind the first individual listed in the indictment has responded saying that americans are very impressionable and that if you want to find a devil it's easy to find one so this is this is a wide ranging response from from the world that we've heard from trump we've heard from the individuals indicted we've heard from the russian foreign ministry everyone responding to this move by the u.s. department of justice. well let's go live now to legal and media amaris lionel for his views with
11:27 pm
a line of thank you very much indeed for joining us on this some emotional reaction to this indictment and could we actually see a trial in this case. you know that i would love for there to be a trial i would love to be one of the defense lawyers arguing this what is so fascinating about this and i and i read it is it reads like a narrative when out there being any crimes there is something in law in our country called the demur which you file that basically says oh yeah so why what does this mean now let me give an example when you talk about an indictment normally it is something that really is specific they give citations and sections and code numbers and case law and it reads like the worst narrative of of nefariousness you can imagine this reads almost like this lyrical story of you've been bad there's basically seven cases very very quickly they accuse these thirteen
11:28 pm
of being basically involved in organizing fake social media accounts now i never knew this was against the law i know friend to have fake everything faith twitter accounts you may bit fake fake fake but apparently if you're watching you can do that there are two this group shows support for trump and bernie sanders so bernie sanders is the recipient in the beneficiary of this now farias activity next these groups of people apparently held rallies and posted ads then they had contact with trump officials using fake persona without the trump organization knowing who they were so that leaves off the hook of any kind of involvement or liability then they discouraged and i'm fascinated by this when they were alleged to have discouraged minority voting do you know how many individuals
11:29 pm
and our country african-american people of color of renowned from cornell west to louis farrakhan to. all african-americans don't bother voting this is the same thing that's been said by others and finally they are and this is my favorite they wanted to quote so discord by. breaking into elections no stealing the numbers no changing the numbers no voter fraud no book by merely providing information through advertisements or the listings and social media accounts that were shared by americans far worse in their tenure but basically ideas nobody shot no coups no who does no nothing no election stolen and fast they made it very clear today this is my favorite that there is no evidence of this affecting the election at all so what it
11:30 pm
is is it imagined russian brainwashing or some telepath you know they're they're trying to soem discord and i'm reading this and i swear now there was some actual charges about bank fraud and foreign agent violations that were more tangible but i have never seen out of a thirty seven page indictment such lyrical. prosaic narratives about this one did this and this one without saying this is against the law normally if a russian were to do this or in america were to do this that's what a crime is these are apparently laws that violate american laws only if the person committing them is russian or russian national whatever that is. and i'm not that will leave it lying illegal and media analyst thank you very much
