the german tabloid is duped into publishing fake evidence of a russian troll farm supposedly meddling in germany's politics. and the hunt for russian bots continues twitter is believed to have blocked nearly a thousand accounts belonging to conservative america. in medal winning that russian curler who tested positive for a banned substance at the winter olympics decides not to take his case to sports highest court. in a broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is arjun international and sean thomas glad to have her with us now the german tabloid newspaper builds has

published what it claimed was a leaked evidence of a russian troll farm artie's but i've got to have comments. bild thought they had a bombshell the makings of an international scandal here's the meat of it build 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 hit 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 like something out of a spy a movie did kevin i'm ury i'd like to talk to you about supporting your no girl code 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 beer 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 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 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 call 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 time inc 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. 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 to tonic explained bill that was just too excited an anonymous email two or three calls and billed prints average things that fits its agenda remember the drinks name me a meal matty ginger well that's now trending on twitter as germans online ridicule build though they're defending themselves haven't kuhner the star of the show is also suing billed for libel and slander but judging by this picture and he's posted he's also enjoying the show kevin kernot himself says the reported

email exchange would have made no sense even if it were genuine. popova me have to see in this book i don't know but this group of course who would refuse any of these offers who work with social bobs i don't have information that even received any of us in this area we heard from moret who again an editor at titanic magazine who came up with the prank he says the new build weeks bomb. we are to turn it 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 ran a campaign against the s.p.d. of the social democratic party which have a lot of the part of. our intent was to spin this

story more further and 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. the readers of built just like the other tools i build there are hopeless cases so you can't help them i don't think anyone will learn anything. new we have to turn the explorer the people at built our german politicians or the german people but

it was a good laugh now. and i think that's worth something. we now continue our look at the recent to discoveries from japan's official archives on a long concealed eugenics program and left thousands of people infertile over a period of almost half a century artist jacqueline vulgar 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 home 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 but there are many more victims the government should make apologies and pay compensation to them it's believe they're 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 that your ration took place genetic mental disease was the only listed reason for her sterilization however as it's not true when she was a while. 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 appeal

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 it's the government's fault they executed the program as well as the national legislature which a doctor the law needs to take responsibility make apologies soon as possible the doctors were also responsible but in a way that we use by the government. i think that the now defunct eugenic protection law existed for the sole purpose to reject a ban of disabled. when i requested the disclosure of the documents regarding my sister surgery they told me the files were just 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 a. hotlines have been set up to bring together victims 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. a large number of twitter users in the u.s. are seeing their accounts blocked and there is speculation that this could be linked to the social networks crackdown on suppose that russian bot. how soon will be trying to parent thousands have accounts and will receive the same passage of the same moment to provide and then a text through. to it's enough to know what most value is simply because i'm conservative sixpence and crissy wonder how many votes i'm wrong worst 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 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 is 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 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 our red state came back and told it it was because i was part of a russian are particularly if you're being with. us. that i was somehow working for

russia part of the russian box that we're. 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. you know i don't want to you know. i don't know this and he goes. yeah like. the problem is. that you're a christian man chair a lawyer and political activist believes that the move goes against a 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 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 them meddling accusations in new york times article has listed 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

thing right like here you can help and democratic movement deal with a desk. according to a recent study by an american historian washington tried to influence eighty one ford in elections between world war two and the start of the century and a 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 idea that you'll find a video of those former cia for a very good cause. 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 and you

know really trust the people of libya 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 right stay with us for the latest from the winter olympics in south korea you're watching our two international. plenty. plenty plenty. plenty.

plenty. plenty of war hawks dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that are going to lead to new thoughts by to tell you that what we gossip the public by file for the most important news today. about how to make you are not cool enough to buy their products little. things all the hawks that we along with all the world's problems. welcome back this is aren't international now russian curler who won bronze in the

winter olympics and later tested positive for doping will have to return his medal or just really have to try to go is following the developments in south korea this is really an 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 rules 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 and 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 needs he has admitted that there was

a formal violation of anti-doping rules although he maintains that he has never 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 in a photo and for fourteen days. costs ease of treatment is

mutilate recommended by but i'd use a. one man's three mon's even six mons up to you depends on the. disease the patient 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 i.o.c. was meant to announce its decision on february twenty fourth on the possible cancellation of the bad 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 now is

a very serious question earlier on wednesday two world records were broken in the space of just fifteen minutes by russian athletes at the winter olympics the first was set by figure skater. in the women's short program and then her score was topped by fifteen year old teammate alina darger tova they will now be doing battle for the gold medal or t. has a special report on the two women who are close friends in life and rivals on ice you can see that now on our website. the e.u. would you eat this lead you to and he says and it'll eat you up and you still have the still there was the what significance of you it was the only clue that he'd better than the outlook in the not in my

book was leaked believe it was an emissary to be a way to eat the same rights as the united states idiot so he had to do it so i did it was a long distance i am sick of producing. the excuse to say some i see that easy field. i am few. million to louis you would be a an eye out you see when you know so you keep being cute please.

me pro-immigration rally has been held in paris following president mark wrongs initiative to tighten laws on refugees or to travel dubinsky is in the capital for us. well this is seen as being one of the biggest tested emanuel mark on 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 people who protested outside the consulate attack today said they were incredibly unhappy and they expressed why.

balcony flies not because it has not been passed here but people want parkade because it wants to hold this attention with asylum seekers so used to newark you 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 at least 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 three 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. carried out the attacks at the 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. back in thirty five minutes with a look at your news you're watching international.

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 growing evidence the media are at the very center of this fake scandal. there is now three hundred trillion dollars of wealth in the world today but i look at how much money we spend in the world on military. we just talk about a few more million. save the lives of people around the world in doing such a way that doesn't create you did it with that much wealth in the united states that much well. the rest of the world is a nice usable for any person in the world today you go to the.

greetings and salutations or grab your butter and pop your popcorn hawk watchers because there appears to be more than one collusion investigation taking place here in washington d.c. you see welty i'm sorry c.n.n. is busy ambushing innocent trump supporters in their homes for sort of but not really in any possible way conspiring with indicted russian internet trolls a major allegation of collusion is creeping out of the federal communications commission yes the inspector general of the f.c.c. is rather. while the open investigation into chairman i and his actions surrounding these singular broadcasting three point nine billion dollar deal to buy tribune media according to fortune the investigation is focused on paes decision to relax rules limiting the ownership of television stations by

a single company you see the rule change the pie champion the meltdown really got pushed through created a loophole that allowed for sinclair's accurate acquisition of tribune media which ultimately put sinclair channels in more than seventy per cent of u.s. households that's a lot congressman frank pallone out of new jersey told the media that for months i've been trying to get to the bottom of the allegations about chairman pi's relationship with sinclair sinclair broadcasting i'm grateful to the cc's inspector general that he has decided to take up this important vest a geisha so was conspiring including well there appears to be some fire amidst all that smoke a new york times investigation published last last august uncovered several meetings and correspondences between pi his staff and sinclair executives including one taking place just days before pi took over as f.c.c. chairman. now that is the appearance of alleged collusion i hope all you russia get

out there is are taking notes this looks like collusion this doesn't look like illusion now let's start watching all. what. it looks like. it's like. at the bottom if you. like you know that i got. this. week so. welcome everybody to watch and i wrote the story and that happened while at the very surprised that's the fire behind you great job . wow you know to me when i look at this it brings up a lot of questions not not about the actions but more about you know we know we're

here in washington you live here for a little bit your followers a little but you and i both know that the collusion between you know corporate lobbyists and corporate entities and people in positions of power here in washington is pretty much a bally occur so well there would be no restaurants open in the city right of washington d.c. you know when there is so good here if there wasn't collusion and so what's interesting about i think this investigation is why why was why wouldn't the inspector general of the f.c.c. start looking into his interactions with sinclair in light of this big deal when then in light of these you know him kind of paving the way through this vote yeah you know and while it is unclear right now the extent of the inspector general's investigation you know how deep it goes or even you know where there was a time i doubt it's happening i mean they're going to let's take it out as how far how long before he took the office was a premeditated illusion right was that our ads. the dental delusion or what is

interesting me i think one of the reasons is that this is suddenly got a magnifying glass and for a member has been very vocal you know he's like the town have referred of the f.c.c. might not like i was on here today as i always liked way that he's saying it's a treat yourself you know lead turns your friend less regulation and that's kind of how i feel yeah it's interesting though because when one calls for an investigation this is going to been going since the boat back above member one calls for the circus to november of two spokesperson representing mr pipes said the allegations of favoritism were baseless and said for many years chairman pi has called on the f.c.c. to update its media ownership regulations the chairman is sticking to his long held views now that raise interesting thing yeah this is not he believes it's not he's being influenced to do this i think it really gives what he believes the corporate media should just kind of run amok and there shouldn't f.c.c. should regulate as much as it does mine so if that's what someone believes and that falls in line with like let's say a corporate c.e.o. like the head of sinclair is.
