servia appreciate your time and your opinion mauro is my guest military expert former french paratrooper officer thank you. now perhaps unsurprisingly to many of you in the west there's been a degree of skepticism about vladimir putin's weaponry claims let's go live to london and speak to the police forces so you've been gauging reaction just how cynical and skeptical has a big well this is an annual speech as you know it doesn't normally get many column inches here in the u.k. and across the pond but obviously vladimir putin is talk of new nuclear warheads piqued the interest of the world's media there headlines chose to focus on descriptions of a hawkish putin boasting about is doomsday nuclear weapon talk of an arms race talk of the cold war as well and the general narrative suggesting that this was a speech to fire under the my nuclear button is bigger than yours category take

a look at some of the media's reactions we told americans not to move. we told them not to abandon the. we told them that we will we have caught up so these are missiles that particularly designed to counter what russia sees is a stretch posed by the u.s. missile defense shield which has been deployed at least you can reach almost any charge around the world so scary stuff this morning. now the speech was trending on twitter in the u.s. which suggests that there was quite a bit of attention towards it coming from stateside or some might simply say that that infamous russian troll farm was just extending itself this morning nevertheless take a look at some of the reactions in the twitter sphere. the ribena bits of time to make peace with russia bush and scientists seem to have

achieved nuclear dominance with just percent of the us military budget for the forseeable future it looks like the us russia gender we limited to just one item will prevent good luck to us all when to watch fox news he will say that he wants to. now one of the things that grabbed the attention of people in the twitter sphere was also that lyta know that putin struck when he mentioned that some of russia's weapons are so new that they don't even have names yet so he launched a competition to name a new cruise missile and. underwater drone which i think has a lovely ring to it already but the name the weapon contests that we're put in launch he got a lot of suggestions from the u.k. rather predictably here a lot of twitter users suggested new key mark new face as a name that was harking back to the time that the government here launched a competition for research vessel and everybody here suggested calling it botti.

face it wasn't the name that the government ran with in the end and i'm sure glad to meet putin will be waiting for some more serious suggestions there were others as well death to make death face was one suggestion dollars donald was suggestion and my personal favorite which is skywalker. i am speechless the other dry vladimir putin sense of humor creeping through in the story many thanks to bring is that today probably void. on to other news now four civilians have been killed by militants in syria's eastern cuter it happened while the latest humanitarian palls was in place russia's reconsideration center said that the deaths came during demonstrations in the district as a result no one has left the besieged area so far.

but the line of michael. also last week the u.n. security council adopted a resolution that calls for thirty day ceasefire right across there with these efforts that have had no effect on the militants opening fire on civilians who've been trying to escape. in neighboring iraq people are still struggling with life following their liberation from terrorists refugees in the countries around bar province say they feel safer in camps than they do in the homes that they're being told or even forced to return to that's according to a joint report was released by three humanitarian organizations that report says eighty four percent of refugees feel much safer in camps only one percent know for

certain they still have a house to actually return to or half of those questioned know that their homes have been destroyed testimonies in the report appear to reflect such figures. we didn't make it to this place without seeing death with their own eyes are found sometimes. i can't return to ramadi my house was damaged by isis i'm worried about the camp management telling us to leave and return home i heard rumors that they might close the count there's nothing official lots of my friends have returned to ramadi but i can't go i can't afford to repair my hands. we are stuck in here like sheep last month an r.t. crew was filming in the iraqi city of mosul which was liberated from my soul or

than a year ago but as these pictures now show still little sign of this if you look churning to anything close to normal and while people are being told to go back locals who are actually in mosul say the authorities themselves are staying away. you can do how many bodies have you removed since you started working in this area approximately five hundred could you think are there anymore years in how this show and all their odds whereas you know that i don't i challenge any member of parliament to live in the conditions we are currently living in here i bet they are even afraid of entering this area they have no idea how horrible the smell is or how critical the medical situation is while i haven't received any kind of aid or support since things finished here seven months ago on one occasion did they receive a small box of food no coupons no food nothing melanie markham from the norwegian refugee council which worked on the report says the refugees fear traps and violent

reprisals if they return home. there's a number of dangers i think one of the largest threats is that a bomb exploded balls unexploded mortars and baby traps and in fact we had one report of a family who returned time only to find their house been trapped and it killed a family member some of the other things that make it unsafe for papal violence from the community around them people who even suspected of having links with isis particularly vulnerable but other people under the threat of violence by. members of their own tribal communities so there are a number of reasons why it's unsafe still on site for people to return home. today sees a new show starting on hosted by the former ecuadorian president rafael correia we'll have more details on luck after the break.

when you don't. seem to. get a court. what are the most true only ten states. left in the hills said. cement claiming to know servant is best to let. you speak french. this is all. the same yes he will send them all to new. people so busy signal to. join me every thursday on the all excitement and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sport i'm sure i'll see you there.

welcome back germany's dark nazi past still troubles the country although less so it seems in some parts a small village near frankfurt is being thrust into the spotlight after it decided to retain a nazi symbol. i

think. because couple of people don't like. having the ceiling to know that there's a cloak with. a big story like this. yeah yeah and this bell has been here for some time and now someone wants to get rid of it as a side of this bell didn't do anyone harm i think there are more terrible things to pay attention to. the south african parliament has voted in favor of new legislation that could see land ceased from white farmers under those plans white farmers will be stripped of their land with no compensation although this runs against the constitution which

would have to be amended here's what the man behind the initiative had to say about it. the time for reconciliation is over now is the time for justice we must ensure that we restore the dignity of our people without compensating the criminals who stole our land julius malema is something of a controversial figure in south africa he's been convicted of hate speech and back in twenty six sixteen he said he was not calling for the slaughter of white people at least not yet despite that country's former president zuma described him as a future leader of rate of murders and violent attacks on farmers and landowners has risen in recent years according to official numbers seventy two percent of the country's farmers are white early we put the issue up for debate. people do not own land in south africa legally white people out of ideas from europe in sixteen fifty two they killed our people they stole our land all oppressed us all the land they have his land up there was taken from us by force and in many instances by my

success we all visitors to south africa including there were the blood types of south africa that came from the north that is well documented. thank you for the land into position of the black tribes the only the first occupants of south africa were the korean the son so if they are argument. that should be there in the sons of the peasant like the one who is now my opponent easier for a night in south africa and the land he and in fact talking about the quezon i am quite certain he can say my same name any time i ask him to say it he does it it can't because as a foreigner i even want it that day parliament is moving slow and politician we don't trust them they are using this lensing as a political eight ball instead of addressing the issue of this legislation could actually be changed to satisfy the white farmers as well there's

a lot of corruption involved and that's why the oprah series of land that was taken from the pro legally in the past to be returned to them is not going as it should go you see this molding in front of me that is the issue. if this goes on investment in this country would stop people won't invasion the country will go the same way as involved where there won't be production and then we have a big spring in south africa about food that's not available to the people of south africa. and you show an r.t. premiers today hosted by the former ecuadorian president rafael correa his first guest the philosopher and author noam chomsky you can check out the full interview by heading to our website just for now though here's a snippet. according to the what's wrong there is government he's it will be oh. well actually it's quite

the opposite under crumpets becoming weaker less affected. it's internally disintegrating it's losing its whatever international authorities prestige and it's also moving to destroy the world and the most important policy of the trumpet ministration by for is its approach towards the real existential crisis climate change here the united states under trump has departed from the entire world. on the road or between the united states and north korea what they do know that ace you know or we are consequences could very easily. in this case there happens to be a very feasible approach to dealing with the crisis and it's pretty

well known oh it's a chinese proposal which has been on the table for years the proposal is what's called a double freeze north korea freezes its development of weapons and the clear the clear nuclear and missile development that freezes them and the united states calls off the constant highly threatening military maneuvers on north korea's border and that could set the stage for negotiations which could deal with the conflict in crisis in a sensible and constructive way it. like so much as they would all say the latest news headlines coming your way and

often out. fifty years ago breaking within two cons again as a sleeping pill dusty's would suddenly because of just what you said to the scientific sweat terrible but not on the road as shown by induction on full bore love will be here not the war then boom boom up across europe victims astonishing legal battles demanding at least some compensation in something in two ways first will the physical damage itself as well that the constant mind that the people who actually put the take this call it has never been the justice and that has been the cup. if anyone thinks about that for the

sake of joining the european union reeser be i would recognize kosovo under the conditions that they impose right now and not on the basis of one of dialogue compromise very wrong once a compromise but the solution proposed by cos of all veiny else is not the real solution. but politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so if you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to. have to go right to be precise as to what before three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should.

greetings and sal you teach us history is a fascinating fascinating thing arc watchers especially in regards to how quickly we choose to forget or ignore our shared histories this week and february twenty seventh u.s. citizens got themselves yet another round of russia fear mongering this time in the form of obama era holdover admiral michael as rogers in the senate armed services committee aghast and whore over russian midterm meddling at will rogers declared to the committee that president donald trump has not given him any new authorities to combat the evil russian cyber scourge of internet memes and facebook ads and that

we're taking steps but we're probably not doing enough and if we don't change the dynamic here this is going to continue who this declaration to congress prompted the uncrowned queen herself as hillary clinton to tweet out i say this as a former secretary of state and as an american the russians are still coming. uhm this all comes of course without well any actual evidence the raj is in any way gunning for the us mid-term elections or the politicians running it haven't seen anything that they know is produced any evidence and basically we're all just supposed to accept all of this on the word of our illustrious intelligence community and civil servant politicians. you know and one of the great ironies that only history can provide all of this russia fear mongering comes on the eighty fifth anniversary of the rice tog fire yes february twenty seventh one thousand

thirty three is when the infamous communist terrorist attack took place on the headquarters of the german parliament which i'm bold in the newly appointed chancellor of germany adolf hitler and his nazi party to abolish the freedom of speech assembly privacy in the press and legalized phone tapping and the interception of correspondences and. movie that sounds really very familiar to me i don't know where i would ever hear of something like that before. you know what i think it's time to start watching arcs. you. want to see you look like real that would. be the plot of. the day like you like i got. this.

week so i. wrote the what's the heart's like i robot and i'm topical and and it always somehow goes back to the not so if this is does doesn't it doesn't that it's not a joke it really is every conversation but it does and i think that's that's what's interesting about connecting those two things and having these moments is that so much today so much and mainstream media or people like hillary clinton are saying something something with the russians are still coming it's just i can't it's hard to it's cartoonish at this point for her to say that but. it does make the point that this is always been the case it's always and it tends to go back to the communists and the case of russians i think still that when you say this like former soviet nation if that dog was still about communism like we're still terrified of my god communist socialist what do we do share things with people i

know it's. the last time i checked russia was well communist country but and it's interesting because look the reichstag fire has has taken that point where you know a lot of historians say it's what they said it was you know one lone guy and let the place on fire because he was a communist sympathizer whatever the excuse was and things burned down and then the nazi party capitalized on that fear but at that same time in that era of history they also did there of him and dependent investigation and so geno it looks a lot more like the nazis secretly set this fire blamed it on the for you know on the graft on the political foreign threat and then that gave them enough fear of the you know fear power. fear credit in the populace to basically take ever over it take away everyone's rights and really assume power and take over germany and not sure of their constitution which really what it did was prove not the idea that you can. have a fake attack or something that warrants. doing you know an attack

and make it look like someone else is doing it that is something that absolutely politically goes on top of course i mean that well that's that's a part of military procedure that's not something that we kind of you know push that idea of thinking into like the corners of conspiracy theory or conspiracy people and. but it actually is a outright military maneuver sure it's done and has been done throughout history i mean when you look at vietnam of the gulf of tonkin you know some would argue that you know using the hold of nine eleven in the war on terror and like all of that now russian hacking where you. have you taken a vow and you twist it were you perpetrated and you twist it to meet your own ends and when you've heard of nine eleven it's an interesting case because since we've learned you know those missing pages especially it's a very different angle puts a very different sort of patina on it you know that to a lot of people and in that same thing it's

a you know if there's all these saudis on a plane why weren't we courthouse for so to read it was their significant other were gone after communism the nazis came in and say wait a minute and that happens all the time and i think the you're i think the question that we need to really ask ourselves is why do we keep allowing you know people in power people in positions of power to kind of manipulate the populace of repeat history over and over to give way and the thing is part of that i think is because we are ignoring laws that were put in place a long time ago for this for this very reason and to protect as opposed to just using you know like for an actor or other world where to call their own laws there's actually certain ones that make sense and one of those was the smith month that was one nine hundred forty eight and that we did is prohibited the u.s. government from propagandizing its own citizens for two so when what's interesting though though is that there's

a difference though is that using the n.d.a. as cover again the government modified this method on to act. to allow for what they called permit materials produced by the state department and the broadcasting board of governors to be available within the united states which we talked about this years ago how dangerous that is what they're saying is the stuff that they nor the propaganda that they normally put out outside the united states that they're not allowed to do here which is really i mean you're talking about voice of america which is a government funded news outlet and so now there's this idea that there should be more propaganda we should do it more in the united states colorado to get out. there are probably again it's really ridiculous at the end of the bat i think that you know u.s. citizens and citizens around the world you have to remember that governments are going to lie to you and they're going to lie to you in achieving and people in government are going to lie you can't get around that that's just the normal nature of human beings but you have to be vigilant you have to do your due diligence to

not just accept what your government tells respect and not accept what some stranger on the euro tells with fact you have to do your own due diligence and try to find the truth yourself that is the most important thing. for the first time ever according to the chain sharma kind of consulting twenty seven thousand u.s. model market update there were more cars added to cellular networks than phones and with an estimated ninety eight percent of new cars expected to be equipped with internal modems in the next few years it seems that people are totally on board with big brother on the dashboard or are they a recent survey from salis a technology company found that even if costs were not an issue fifty seven percent of respondents still wouldn't buy a self driving car more disturbingly nearly half of those polled didn't know that connected cars can store their personal information like home address social security numbers and birthdays. of course everything

a scammer needs to steal your identity or everything the car company needs to make some extra coin off of your personal identifying information the estimated market value to car manufacturers is in the billions of dollars per year and the big bucks will be made in bundling your data to oil and gas companies they want to not only know how much gas you buy but also things like tire pressure odometer readings and has been c.e.o. of tom no explained the fuel companies want to offer you more than fuel many times the fuel stations are also interested in anonymized data why do some people always stop to take whatever's available or specific brand places to build new stations and so on no data loss here in the united states are much more lax than they are in europe where the regulations are much much stricter so when it comes to connectivity the american car manufacturers are in the driver's seat especially if you're looking for a deal many car manufacturers are now looking into selling bundles of applications

for things like navigation or remote ignition in the event those upgrades are out of a customer's price point car manufacturers will give them the tech in exchange for permission to serve drivers with pop up ads totally seems safer now than sitting in traffic and should go along with a good bought for five dollars off pizza shop near your exit pops up under a to work and you get a nod for free pastry with your starbucks it is standard for most applications now free to use and full of perks if you're willing to give up your privacy now with those ads and access to your car's applications the company can mine and massive amount of personal and anonymous information on you. roger a consultant for strategy and what extolled money magazine that carmakers recognize they're fighting a war over your customer data your driving behavior location has monetary value not unlike your search activity that war companies. and toyotas among others to spend

years researching a way to embed heart monitor sensors in its cars to track stress levels and heart rate of course neither of the systems they were developing were designed to warn the driver of potential. like a heart attack in addition to this technology it will eventually track location external environmental data in cavite information user recognition for face scans or fingerprints and much much more which may be why the national automotive dealers association put out a brochure about personal data in your car in twenty seventeen in which they laid out the three automotive privacy principles manufacturers have voluntary agreed to agree to abide by first there's transparency the company promises to provide you with clear and concise privacy policies second is that your consent is required before certain sensitive information is used for marketing or shared with an affiliated third parties and finally car dealers and manufacturers will limit their

sharing of your information with government and law enforcement into the future is bright and while we don't quite have flying cars yet they are becoming more like computers with wheels and as those computers grow to provide us with every connective need and want will there be a tradeoff between privacy. and convenience and that jab at the wall is the million dollar question that i think we've already traded off when it comes to our own personal computers and our cell phones i think very easily we said oh give me a pop up ads give me this i don't care i want all the convenience i want to yes let me just dump it all over and you know we don't get nearly as outraged as we should when you have telecommunication companies sharing our information with governments and things of that age right. so i think i hope it doesn't happen with cars but i have a feeling given the fact that as of right now i've seen the modern culture.
