live from moscow where it's just going eight pm this whedon's the night welcome to our to international i mean you know neal our top story german tabloid bill published what it thought was leaked evidence of the activities of a russian troll factory but the lead turned out to be far from concrete rock a sea of joins me now live with the details it seems jus diligence was somewhat lacking here from germany's most read newspaper one can imagine what went down the builds had cooled as you know that they got this email or chain of emails that implied that the leader of one of germany's biggest leader of the youth wing. was in touch with the russian troll factory which was offering him help you. she

was offering him boards that would sway public opinion in the way that he wanted of course build rushed to publish this they had a huge front page article with a picture saying new dirt on the s.p.d. and bill that has been very anti s.p.d. has a very clear political position naturally they publish this this e-mail chain which by the way caused a lot of raised eyebrows among others in the german media other people who saw it and we are touching it here are a few you know experts few sentences from it did kevin i mean you re i'd like to talk to you about supporting your no grow cold campaign thanks for your mail jay already told me to expect a mail from you but just to be sure could you name me jay's favorite beverage as you can certainly understand this is

a delicate matter mere mere multi ginger there yury perfect that's a relief so what can you offer me basically we can offer you everything an opinion campaign with bots again scholtz social bots on twitter or facebook or even a targeted facebook advertising campaign i think a targeted advertising campaign on facebook will be appreciated by the now graca movement how much money would you invest in these ads we've already roughly calculated the campaign and expect to pay around four thousand to five thousand euros we've included the social bots don't worry we'll pay from frankfurt the payment will not be traceable. sounds good i'll collect the data for the facebook audience and send all the information to you soon so you can watch the campaign immediately as long as it looks like juices pay for their ads i'm not worried. of the funny thing here is all the code words that they were using it sounds like an

exchange written by a fifteen year old this called the mere meal meal gates on twitter now it's still trending and people are laughing at the build buildings saying wait a second we checked we did you know what we had to do but these were huge revelations and they were talking about servers the servers these these came from the e-mail used attributed to the leader of the s.p.d. is youth wing is fink it's fake the email works as in it functions it exists but it can't be replied from you couldn't have had a conversation from the email so if you suddenly send an email to that address it will forward it is real email which ends in the inn at s.p.d. dot d. and that was one of the sticking points the leader of the s.p.d. as you think has already filed a lose lose suit against the build and that we've learned that this was all. a

play this was all a plea by a satirical newspaper titanic a german satirical newspaper here's what fellow said why they why they ran this whole campaign in my they sent these fake emails to build an anonymous email to your three calls and build prints average things that fits its agenda. it was a dig at what building had become so polarized in its own corner and they were saying that it's ok to slander and libel anyone anyone at all as long as they are germans that was what they were getting at that you can talk talk anything you want sending you warn about foreigners and that's fine in germany but you know this is a trick that they played in the it's become huge it's blown up it's been read by

a lot of germans as well arty's bring us up to date on the peculiar story thank you very much. all right no time to continue our look at recent discoveries from japan's official archives which shed light on the grim government run eugenics program which left thousands of people infertile over the decades about it was in force picking up the story jacqueline booga. records of only a fraction of the people subjected to sterilization have been revealed but this may finally help the victims to get justice after decades of suffering and some are already taking action has a hard time going through the middle school that's when i was diagnosed with a mental disability my teacher took me for a medical check and then i was taken to hospital that's when i remember at home my parents told me that i was operated on and now i cannot have babies my father this force to sign documents by my teacher and welfare offices there are many move him

the government should make apologies and pay compensation to them it's believe there are up to twenty five thousand victims all under the eugenics protection law in force for almost forty years as late as the mid ninety's the procedures were in order to quote preserve the purity of the japanese race people with mental disabilities or hereditary diseases were targeted but misdiagnosis of such conditions was common causing even more unnecessary suffering we managed to speak to the relative of one such victim when i got married my mother in law told me that my sister has been sterilized after i made an information disclosure request i found out she was only fifteen when the ration to place genetic mental disease was the only listed reason for her sterilization however it is not true when she was a one year old she became mentally handicapped because of the anesthesia three different doctors gave her so she didn't have a genetic condition and over sixteen thousand cases the procedure was even carried

out without consent and shockingly victims were as young as nine years old a pill to admit the practice had taken place were dismissed for years with victims being told that the evidence was simply gone the only question is who's responsible for all of this to me is the government's fault thanks akita the program as well as the national legislature which adopted the law needs to take responsibility and make apologies soon as possible doctors will sort of. sponsible but in a way that we used by the government. i think that the now defunct eugenic protection law existed for the sole purpose to reject a band of disabled. when i don't question the disclosure of the documents regarding my sister surgery told me the files which are said to have been strictly processed had been thrown away the evidence of the mutilation of my sister's body was simply trashed in the case of another victim mrs zucker the documents were thrown into the fire when i heard about it i was beside myself with their anger. hotlines have been

set up to bring together britain's for what's likely to be an extremely long and traumatic battle for justice but while victims one compensation they say money isn't the main reason their goal is to create awareness to ensure that horrors like this never take place again. moving on a pro immigration rally has been held in part this following president should have to tighten laws on refugees people there say he's stepped back from his promise to help migrants get off the streets and art of the woods charlotte dubin ski has more now from the french capital. well this is seen as being one of the biggest tests of the manual mark one has faced so far in his presidency with around two hundred people coming out on wednesday morning to voice their concerns about this new immigration law well what's in the new immigration law well first of all they want to double the time of detention that's how long my kids can be held from forty five

to ninety days they also want to put in jail for up to a year those migrants who cross into france illegally and they want to shorten the time that people have to apply for asylum well the people who protested outside the consulate attack today said they were incredibly unhappy and they expressed why. leastwise not good it has not been passed here but people want parkade because it wants to hold this attention with asylum seekers so used to work i think it's a lot selfish it's a lot of people don't like the foreigners don't like no one likes. this law is unbalanced because it's trying to facilitate the integration of france he g.'s but many people also support this law some say it doesn't even go far enough and they say they support it because they have concerns over some of the

elements that this law will hope to deal with including that of fake i.d.'s because fake i.d.'s have been used by some perpetrators of terrorist attacks over the last few years in france now they will face up to five years and a fine if they found with fake i.d.'s now fake i.d.'s we used with those who carried out the paris attacks in two thousand and fifteen then just a year later brussels the attack there just over the border in belgium and also last year in march say in two thousand and seventeen and on a europe wide level there's also concern that some people who apply for asylum actually want to carry out terrorist attacks such as the. who carried out the attacks at the bowling christmas market also in stockholm in sweden and in finland what is clear though is that this bill which is due to be debated by parliamentarians here in france in april is not going to have a smooth flight charlotte devinsky r.t.

paris. the northern syrian city of a friend has come under heavy shelling from the turkish army has wrapped up ramped up its operation in the region to dislodge the kurdish fighters which it sees as terrorists. the to the original plan i asked. her a lot about. the way the bombardment came after a pro syrian government gnomish air ripe enough for him to join the fight against the turkish military turkey's president heard one say as the shelling forced the group of fighters to retreat some ten kilometers. today towards evening it was determined by the page ts militia that about ten pickup trucks were coming towards africa they were then forced to turn back following the shelling these cases being closed to now god was god

but other reports suggest the pro syrian government forces have taken up positions enough friend you're currently seeing pictures of their arrival in the area on tuesday night middle east analyst joshua landis sais the kurds have fallen victim to america's power play in the region. the us has been supplying a lot of weaponry to the kurds east of the euphrates when the united states first entered into syria it turkey and the united states came up to an agreement that everything west you're free to use was turkey everything east of the euphrates the united states men beige is a sore point but that's still to be decided on but that's the way it's been and the united states that's been giving a lot of weapons to the why teach it now it's obviously telling a white chief do not attack turkey with those weapons because the moment you do that you will justify everything that aired

a war that says is going to happen that you're connected with the k.k.k. and so the united states is sitting on the kurds and in essence is telling the y.p. to you have to sacrifice your brothers and me to preserve us out east of the euphrates. meanwhile the situation in another syrian hotspot is now developing violence in the eastern guta area close to the syrian capital damascus is on the rise and that's provoked an outcry from the united nations you are going to a station is calling for an end to hostilities following reports that government earth strikes on the rebel enclave killed at least one hundred people in recent days to is one of the few remaining opposition strongholds the syrian government says it strikes on the militants are in retaliate for shelling it that have killed civilians in the capital the area was among the deescalation so stop were established by the warring parties last year where across the story and of course

we'll keep you right up to date with developments there. twitter shots though and hundreds of accounts of people with conservative views in the u.s. assuming they are also mated accounts from russia we'll look into that story after this. what politicians do you suppose to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. you somehow want to be. too bright to be for us this is like the full story of the people. interested always in the logs. we start again in the south korea with the winter olympics where a russian courier who won bronze on later tested positive for doping saves he won't take his case to the court of arbitration for sport well for more on this i'm

joined by the breakthroughs in psych for us hialeah what's the buck growing to this and what has been said. you know and well it is really an unbelievable turn of events just thirteen hours before the court of arbitration for sport hearing on the case of the russian curler was meant to begin the russian athlete who won his country its first ever medal in a lump it curling but then tested positive for twice at the winter olympics is saying that he is refusing to proceed with the arbitration it's silly to deny you don't prove violations when the presence of a prohibited substance was confirmed by to doping tests i'm ready for the verdict which is predictably the same in all cases i weigh the pros and cons and decided to

withdraw from the cas hearings and i think in this situation it's useless and senseless. so alexander crucial needs again at the minutes that the formal violation of anti-doping rules has taken place although he keeps maintaining that he has never taken the don't even pills on purpose and the concentration of the drug and his body from these two doping tests really points to single use and that could've played in favor of the athlete if he were able to prove that there was some sort of sabotage and the last couple of days we heard suggestions for many people including other curlers and coaches that someone could have spiked his food or drinks plus the man who invented the drug and the first place has confirmed that if you take the pill once or twice it's absolutely useless . it is not

a medici in which can be. used once or twice are sorry times you should take milton a for ten days for fourteen days and the courses of treatment of his mutilate recommended by produce a day. one man's three months even six months up to you it depends on the. disease and what the patients have. well it is still early morning in young chang and we'll have to wait till thursday afternoon i guess to get all the reaction from the international olympic committee from the russian side as well and from the sporting community and general around the world this is something that was completely unexpected we were expecting a long arbitration at the court of arbitration for sport but now suchan again

surprise you turn unexpected u. turn and we all remember that this just comes days before the international olympic committee is meant to decide whether to cancel the suspension of the russian national olympic committee and whether to allow the russians to march under their flag at the closing ceremony so many things were pending on that specific trial and we don't know the future of that for now yet but i guess it won't happen because alexander crucially it's key has not gone to court anymore thanks for the help to the live from this hour and patricia kuhl well let's stay inside korea little bit more because earlier on the day on witness they two world records were broken in the space of just fifteen minutes by russian athletes the first was sent by figure skater yevgenia made vienna va in the women short program and then her score was

topped by fifteen year old teammates alina. r.t.s. a special report on the two girls who are close friends in life but of course rivals on ice you can see not on our website. just. you know when you're in the us though there was news to me once again that is the way that i. believe this is somebody better than people in that mind for. me. because. i think which group of them has this idiot so we have to just like to. say anything that samhsa can do for you. that it's ok

to say something to say that he. i thought i was easy when you know i think if. you think. he'd leave. some people on twitter in the u.s. or seeing their accounts blocked their list of followers just deleted well twitter has allegedly branded some people with conservative views spots. how soon

will be trending apparently thousands of accounts will receive the same mass which are the same moment to provide for and then a text through cation code. it's not two thousand family was simply because i'm conservative six please move me chrissy wonder how many votes i mean donald trump last tonight conservative twitter users are accusing twitter of intentionally restricting or blocking right leaning voices and they're even holding the company responsible for missing followers calling it a great twitter purge and some famous users have even been blocked like mikes are no vision of the son of michael flynn and it's pretty widespread the hashtag twitter lockout has even been trending on social media but no official comments from twitter as yet some people online think that it could be a purge of so-called russian bot accounts as this all comes amid claims of alleged russian influence but twitter and nouns back in january that they would be doing

this purge to combat so-called russian influence but it seems to have backfired they're now claims that real people were locked out of their accounts in fact when launched the first wave of purges there was an american woman whose twitter account was suspended because an employee thought she was a russian bot when i realized it was permanent with a live shot twitter kept saying that it was a permanent ban suspension because of harassment and i couldn't get them to explain to me who had r.s.t. came back and told it it was because i was part of a russian operative or you being with. us. that i was somehow working for russia part of the russian bots that were. sending out negative information during the election so well for some time now twitter has been helping the u.s. government catch these magical russian bots who somehow manage to sway elections and they've detected a massive number of them let's look back at a project veritas investigation for an idea on how they judge who's

a russian and who's not a russian by. yes you know i want to you know the. iron man is. i. guess the white house is leave them the problem is called the fence is a good leg made out going to do it for you. love is one of the stories will be going in more in depth in the next hour on live reaction as well but stay with us now on our international from war great to programs around the corner. when lawmakers manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the

ruling classes protect themselves. with the final. listen neither one. nor middle of the room six. believe. the real news is really. seems wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to stamp out this thing comes to educate and in detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

still on the day in a d.n.a. of a bottomless saudi in china six sawyer. an estimated eighteen percent under-age refugees are now living in greece. you know stormont going. to get home and there you go food shopping and. many sell their bodies just to make ends meet it's. only then the second on the second oh yes you know on the sins in the on the says and let things get. serious turn sixteen and drugs to make a living. then this thing it was in love blood runs a little. game of that in your.

greetings and salutations you know after thirty eight years on this planet hawk watchers there is there is one thing i know to be true and that is that your past sins matter how deeply you bury them or insulate yourself against them they will always find their way back into the light you see nothing stays buried especially in the shallow graves left behind in the wake of the military industrial complex their deep state of neighbors and news media cheerleaders nothing stays buried take for example the continuing seventeen year debacle that is the united states adventures in afghanistan going on since nine eleven this week while most everyone has been distracted by indictments for internet trolling and payoffs to porn star

mistresses the in. a national criminal court has revealed that they have received a jaw dropping one point seventeen million statements from afghans who claim to be victims of war crimes one point seven million claims and that's only been in the first three months since the i.c.c. began collecting material for a possible afghanistan war crimes case according to abdul prodrome of the human rights in the eradication of violence organization the claims against the claims include accusations against not only the taliban and isis but also the afghan security forces local government affiliated warlords the united states led coalition and foreign and domestic spy agencies but drum told the media that quote it is shocking there are so many it shows how the justice system in afghanistan is not bringing justice for the victims and their families one point seventeen million

potential war crimes begs the important question about how the longest war in united states his state's history what actual good has come from it what real what real victory can even be gained when whole communities of innocent people have suffered horribly in the process there is no victory in war just pain masquerading as patriotism and i would start watching the hawks. if that's. the bottom. that i got. with. this.
