7:01 pm
a russian troll farm or comments. bild thought they had a bombshell the makings of an international scandal here is the meat of it build the published a report about how the socialists the s.p.d. was trying to buy the services of the mythical russian troll factory it's a huge it would be the first direct evidence of russian meddling in german politics here the actors kevin kuhn are head of the s.p.d. youth wing who is running a campaign against forming a coalition with angular merkel the no grow cold campaign yuri a mysterious russian agent offering the services of an online army under his control to spread the message what build got their hands on was the email exchange between them it reads wonderfully cold words mistrust secret meetings
7:02 pm
like something out of a spy a movie did kevin i'm ury i'd like to talk to you about supporting your no grow cold campaign thanks for your mail j. already told me to expect a mile from you but just to be sure could you name me g.'s favorite beverage as you can certainly understand this is a delicate matter mere mere multi ginger there yuri perfect that's a relief so what can you offer me basically we can offer you everything an opinion campaign with books again scholtz social bots on twitter or facebook or even a targeted facebook advertising campaign. i think a targeted advertising campaign on facebook would 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
7:03 pm
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 looking forward. i don't believe that the russians really did that because bill publishes fake either very often here in berlin we already know this happens constantly. and used to build to publish stories we tell chickie i mean bilbies for entertainment it's not something serious front page stuff but that was on friday by wednesday germany's satirists from tannic magazine revealed that it was all a prank they had written the entire exchange and sent it to build but build rabbits without jew checks and verification what with their anti s.p.d.
7:04 pm
stance and tabloid routes even the email tributed to kevin kuhn or was fake he couldn't have sent anything from it other german publications saw the exchange and realized it was suspicious but tannic explained bill that was just too excited an anonymous email two or three calls and billed prints average that fits its agenda remember the drinks name meal meal matty ginger well that's now trending on twitter as germans online ridicule build though they're defending themselves haven't kuhner star of the show is also suing billed for libel and slander but judging by this picture that he's posted he's also enjoying the show kevin kerr himself. reported e-mail exchange would have made no sense even if it
7:05 pm
were genuine. i don't know but this group but of course we would refuse any of these offers we don't work with social mobs i don't have information that even received. we heard from more it in an editor ad titanic magazine who came up with a brand. new builds we expect. we at atlanta go over to rick a magazine we work with the same. methods as a built so we knew how to think like and build editor and what we did was we came up with a story that was techie and like an aspiring movie as you just set and we had a good feeling that this would work especially with built as they already ran a campaign against the s.p.d. the social democratic party which kevin could not as a part of. our intent was to spin this story more
7:06 pm
further you know there seems to be no election in the past years where there wasn't talk of russian meddling or interference but this s.p.d. voting which is now evident in germany about whether they go into the coalition with merkel or not there were no rumors about russian meddling and we thought this this cannot be we have to. make a make an alliance with the build a tabloid and push a story about russian meddling and as we see now it works perfectly for. the readers of built just like the editors at build there are hopeless cases so you can't help them i don't think anyone will learn anything. new we have to turn ignore the people at build our german politicians or the german people but
7:07 pm
it was a good laugh now. and i think that's worth something. we now continue our look at recent discoveries from japan's official archives on a long concealed eugenics program it left thousands of people infertile over a period of almost half a century argues jacqueline wagner as the story. 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 all i remember at the time my parents told me that i was operated on and now i cannot have babies my father disposed to sign documents by my teacher and welfare offices there are many more victims the government should make apologies and pay compensation to them it's lawyer they're up to twenty five thousand victims all under the eugenics protection
7:08 pm
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 that your ration took 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 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 appeals to admit the practice had taken place were dismissed for years with victims being
7:09 pm
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 a soonest possible doctors well 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 little time when i requested the disclosure of the documents regarding my sister surgery they told me the files were just said to have been strictly process 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 a. hotlines have been set up to bring together victims for what's likely to be an
7:10 pm
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. a large number of twitter users in the us are seeing their accounts blocked and there is speculation that this could be linked to the social networks crackdown on supposedly russian bonds. how soon will be trying to parent thousands of accounts will receive the same passage of the same moment to provide and then a text through cation code. it's enough to know what's funny was simply because i'm conservative explains chrissy i wonder how many votes i'm wrong worse donald trump must tonight conservative twitter users are accusing twitter of intentionally restricting or blocking right leaning voices and they're even holding the company
7:11 pm
responsible for missing followers calling it a great twitter purge and some famous users have even been blocked like mikes or no vision of the son of michael flynn and it's pretty widespread the hash tag 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 i was a little chart twitter kept saying that it was a permanent band 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're being with. this. that i was somehow working for
7:12 pm
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 don't want to you know. i. really believe you were. like. the problem is. that you're. christian a lawyer and political activist believes that the move goes against free speech form like twitter facebook or instagram these are forms where people have the ability of expressing their freedom of speech and their opinions i think that
7:13 pm
that's the point of these social media sites so if they begin to censor people just because they're coming under pressure then you know what's going to come next i think that this country has been characterized as always for the protection of freedom of speech regardless of what you think and as long as the message that you're portraying is not racially offensive or sexually offensive and you know other ways possible then you can not censor the opinion of a person simply because they go against you or simply because you disagree with them staying with medaling accusations a new york times article has listed to the many cases in which the u.s. has interfered in foreign elections since world war two but for some people this is apparently a good thing there is some truth to the fact that the united states has engaged in the election meddling over its history the cia has but it's not always the same
7:14 pm
thing right like here you can help and democratic movement deal with a desk. well according to a recent study by an american historian washington tried to influence eighty one foreign elections between world war two and the start of the century and the former cia chief recently admitted that this practice still happens. we don't do that now though we don't mess around other people. are only for a very good thing to do that you'll find video of those former cia growing for a very good cause and. i wonder whether the people of libya agree with the gentleman or maybe we could talk about nicaragua or el salvador or the whole host of countries now of course america has involved themselves in other people's democracies in other people's countries just as the united kingdom house and so i don't really understand where this guy is coming from when he sort of says it's ok for them to do it because they're the good cops but it's not ok for russia to do it
7:15 pm
and you know really trust the people of libya as i say you know are they happy with the involvement of the americans will they brought to libya was terrorism civil war and massacres of many many innocent people but they forget this when they then start complaining about whether the russians have meddled on social media i thought at the height of hypocrisy myself so this is just nonsense just absolute nonsense stay with us for the latest from the winter olympics in south korea. when you don't see. what they did they could. walk to the most ten space. let alone. said. let me know. that.
7:16 pm
you speak french. and welcome back this is our t. international a russian who won bronze in the winter olympics and later tested positive for
7:17 pm
doping will have to return his medal not easily but trying to go is following developments in south korea this is really unbelievable turn of events just thirteen hours before the court of arbitration for sport hearing on the russian curlers case was meant to begin the russian athlete who won his country its first ever olympic medal and curling but then tested positive for twice at these winter olympics said that he's refusing to proceed with the arbitration. it's silly to deny it don't be rude 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 weighed up the pros and cons and decided to withdraw from the cas hearings i think in this situation it's useless and senseless so alexander crucial need ski has admitted that there was a formal violation of anti-doping rules although he maintains that he has never
7:18 pm
taken mole don't even pills on purpose and the concentration of the drug and his body from these two doping tests points to single use and this could have played in favor of the athlete if he were able to prove that there was some sort of sabotage and and the last couple of days we heard other curlers and even coaches say that someone could have spiked alexander's food or drinks plus the man who invented the drug donia house confirmed that if you take the pill once or twice it's absolutely useless military is not medici in which can be. used once or twice or three times you should take milk on a four day and for fourteen days and the cost of treatment is
7:19 pm
mutilate recommended by but i do see a. mon's three mon's even six mons up to you depends on the. disease the patients have to get the reaction of the international olympic committee the russian side and all the others here at the winter olympics i guess we'll have to wait till thursday afternoon everyone really expected a long legal battle but now it seems it's not happening plus something else. you have to bear in mind is that the audio c was meant to announce its decision on february twenty fourth on the possible cancellation of the band of russia's national committee and also on whether to allow the russians to march on their flag at the closing ceremony and everyone thought that this ruling depended on alexander's case what's going to happen to it now is a very serious question on
7:20 pm
a lighter note one hungary and skiers performance of the games has fired up the twitter sphere for being spectacular in its own special way. thank. you and then competed fair and square why great elizabeth sweeney is
7:21 pm
a hero for every average person in the world she gets the gold in. elizabeth swain you disgust me people have worked their entire life to make it to the olympics and do you make a mockery of that your family should be ashamed to give credit for that i just would see our lives about this way. i'm not particularly fond of the swing he got into the olympics especially since there are other women who have trained their entire lives want to get in a financial backer and have a lot plainer than to even qualify for a team which is just average with money lisbeth's sway me is my hero some people are amazing the lengths some people have a degree sweeney had in the olympic dream and she made it come true which to me deserves a medal in that so little. the games are about universality in about reaching out around the world they are also about leasehold the two can go together and we saw really good i said it's
7:22 pm
a great story. a pro immigration rally has been held in paris following president initiative to tighten the laws on refugees or to child bensky is in the french capital for r.t. . 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 will people who protested outside the consulate attack today said they were incredibly unhappy and they expressed why.
7:23 pm
piecewise not it has not been passed here but people won't like it because it wants to hold this attention with asylum seekers so used to nor i think it's a lot selfish it's a lot of people don't like a lot of foreigners don't like no one likes. this law is unbalanced because it's trying to facilitate the integration of fresh veggies 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 new 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
7:24 pm
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. r.t. paris does it for me i'll be back in thirty five and a half minutes with a for get your news you are watching at intermission. is the day of reckoning coming will the liberal corporate media ever own up to their dismal and even dishonest coverage of what is called russia gate there is
