r.t. has spoken to former abu ghraib detainees who describe their ordeal. when their americans arrived with their tanks we thought they would readers of the harsh regime everyone would have their own house and car just like in the wealthy arab countries or in the west but it turns out to be the opposite. they would hang a prisoner on the metal door of the cell and subject them to electrocution or urination they would stick a rifle into sensitive areas or they would use a broken broomstick causing internal bleeding prisoners would need surgery.

after i was released whenever i saw americans on the street i would be terrified they would send me back to that place and torture me again it still keeps me up at night remembering the torture they hear the screams. the time i spend in the prison felt like a lifetime an hour or that pain humiliation and unchastity is stays with you forever. and yet i still have nightmares and suffer physical and mental pain as if it all happened yesterday i work night and day to try to forget it what we went through and what happened to iraq was a terrible crime it broke us even now i can't get inside of barfed up because it makes me think of waterboarding one iraqi m.p. told us that after the toppling of saddam hussein the invasion has brought one catastrophe after another. it's a mixture of feeling. feeling of happiness and joy.

because that invasion removed saddam hussein from power. and the people. put it on the other hand. what followed after the removal of the regime as a disaster after disaster. because the american invasion immediately created. an absolute vacuum. and the security and the economy and in politics in iraq. and. and move times for the country from absolute dictatorship. to. freedom without limits. freedom without responsibilities. the u.k.

you seeking a warrant to search the servers of data mining for cambridge and a little accused of helping donald trump to win the presidency the data of some fifty million facebook users was allegedly used to predict the choices of american voters facebook claims its information was used illegally and what some are already calling the largest data leak in the social media giants history. think back to the last personality quiz you completed on facebook what if i told you that data was allegedly sold to help trump win the presidential election it may seem a bit farfetched but that's exactly why u.k. data analytics company is in trouble with facebook in two thousand and fifteen we learned that a psychology professor at the university of cambridge named dr alexander kogan lied to us violated our platform policies by passing data from an app that was using facebook logon to s e o king which analytical the firm that does political

government and military work around the globe facebook is now under scrutiny trying to explain how the data fifty million of its users was harvested by a trumped links and let x. company and what appears to be the largest data leak in the social networks history and in fact one cambridge university professor created a facebook personality app and then simply passed all the info quiet from its users to the third party the third party is the cambridge and the company which many in the media suspect played at least a part in trouble success once facebook realized it violated their terms they wanted all the data to be destroyed it led both companies to a data feud which of course has the potential to become a lengthy legal battle but according to n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden facebook is really a surveillance company in sheep's clothing businesses that make money by collecting and selling detail records of private lives but once plainly described as

surveillance companies rebranding us social media is the most successful deception since the bombing of war became the defense according to twitter more and more users seem to be clued up on data terms and conditions found on social media platforms. for the love of god everyone talking about facebook can bridge before you come and please learn how targeting works and that it's commonplace it looks like data might have been leaked but it looks a billion times worse if you don't understand how data targeting works i don't know about everyone else but the people i know don't blindly trust facebook with information their data was leaked and used against the whole nation you know they continue to refuse to protect the data their time is limited if i understood this correctly facebook has access to loads of personal data gives third parties access to the states and when the state is abused the major problem is that these facts were leaked shooting the messenger does not solve the problem so it should be no

surprise to learn that when you next complete a quiz or pollen facebook there might be an all terry motive behind it and unflattering nude caricature of donald trump has said to be published on the front page of the new yorker magazine is divided opinion with critics of the president claiming it sums up how the emperor has no clothes as they put it but trump supporters fume there's a highly inappropriate portrayal from the liberal media of the couple's creator barry blitt defended his image or quoting legendary musician bob dylan's line that even the president must sometimes stand naked. but people on the streets of new york are divided about the caricature. you know the one that they chose is very high is the freedom of speech is very important in the united states and the new could be new to the new yorker has the right to publish what the i don't think i like it i think the country's going too far in making fun of everything it needs

actually distracts from the issue it's that yeah it's that larded kind of baby that he doesn't like the president he acts like a shild who would look like that and some see the allusion to trump white as insulting especially as just two months ago the magazine itself said it was wrong to fat shame the president and political cartoonist and called on as ted rall things this misses the point what's going on here is sort of a clash between the way most people look at editorial illustrations and cartoons and the sort of old fashioned approach of the new yorker which is kind of using old chesnuts and cliches that most readers might not be able to relate to anymore in this case the cover illustration has to be very soon should be very simple easy to understand i think the way he drew put trump sort of overweight and bloated is not probably

a comment intentional comment on trump's fizzy or his physicality or the fact that he's overweight or trying to body shame him and i think probably what they were just trying to go for is something very simple which is just the emperor has no clothes trump is the emperor look at him it's kind of different when it's the president of the united states you know they say that satirist should only punch up not down well when you punch the president of the united states you're printing you're punching up no matter who you are so i think he's certainly fair game there's no question about that your program continues in just about. american mess one is the melting pot and the second is the. trapping anyone seen in america who works hard so this is

a whole group of people all generation in america is saying that there is no melting pot we're not being assimilated there's no opportunities we can't live so their response essentially is to go into conflict and this is a major. fight for many clubs over the years so i know that. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the super money. and spending to the twenty million. it's an experience like you know. i want to share what i think i know about the beautiful game. with. the base.

right now twenty twenty past the hour here in moscow a government read on the secret service headquarters on the suspension of its head political uproar in austria austria's new right wing government suspects the country's intelligence agency. holding data illegally and alleges corruption by the group's chief interior minister described his to his suspension as quote unavoidable. as you know we have taken legal action against several officials from the b.v.t. intelligence agents and accused by the prosecutor in this case i can tell you that effective immediately our pizza grid ling is suspended as b.v.t. director until further notice. however the opposition social democrats claiming the probe is politically motivated and says the government just wanted to seize data on right extremists and are now threatening an inquiry into the ruling party's actions

it took less than one hundred days to cause doubts among the austrian people over the security forces your actions intimidated those officials who are supposed to foot the extreme right is the signal that will embolden the right is seen we discussed other dispute with our ruling party m.p. you know had hope. prosecution asked for this rate which was not actually rape but it was a search there was a pending criminal investigation against some members of the b.b. t. the b.b. jesus very sensibly institution and police because it is the so-called bureau for to protect the constitution and to fight against terrorism that's what the abbreviations that stands for if the head of this group of this bureau is under investigation it's clear that the minister has no other choice but to suspend him for the time being because such a bureau was such

a sensible tuscumbia run by someone who is under criminal investigation himself. this search was done and as it was a sensible subject to search for a unit which has absolutely nothing to do with crime against the state this was the g.s. that is the group for the fight against street crime and this group is headed by a man close to the freedom party which makes the thing now. easily to sell is a big thing it will only to help the prosecution in case they met resistance or the people did not cooperate so they actually didn't do the rate they were just asked by the investigators by the criminal investigators to assist. all information i got is absolutely untrue and unfounded so it was no raid to seize data that have to do with extremist investigation all the data remained in place if

they took copies of these daughters i am not aware of i don't know but the fact is that no file was written removed and in no way investigation against certain persons was inhibits it or stopped or something like that so this is all the room or the maid around it to. to construct a big story as you have seen today in the parliament even had a special session dedicated to this matter this is of course something the social democratic party the main opposition parties tries to exploit and not. a chef in the u.s. city of new orleans has made white customers pay more for food in a bid to educate people about the wage gap minorities at his nigerian food stand a paid twelve dollars while white people could spend either the same or two and a half times more that's reportedly the wage disparity between white and black people in the city the chef says social pressure made eighty percent choose to pay

more while those who didn't apologized if i created the framework where i outline a problem that is indisputable and i position you as an antagonist and i give you a way to solve the problem tidally and be the hero in the moment anything other than the thirty dollars choice becomes anti social behavior that explained to me why the folks who refused to pay the thirty dollars were equivocating because they understood that they were participating in anti social behavior the experiment has triggered a mixed reaction while some supported the idea others were offended we put the issue up for debate. so there have always been a significant decisive number not the majority but a good number of people who understood the horrible legacy the triple the sea of suffering that african-americans have it's very interesting that this issue is being raised by an african who moved here and started the thriving business so he

apparently didn't have any problem based on the color of his skin this restaurant owner is perpetuating a myth and a myth that somehow white people are in the business of keeping black people down and i think that restaurants perpetuating that most white people get up in the day just like most black people get up in a day they want to get they want to do the best by their family and are really not worried about keeping anybody else down most of the money that's gone in the social programs has gone to the professionals for the upkeep of the buildings the energy it has not gone into the hands of the people if we don't do right by this this country would suffer your guest randy here wants government taking from white people based on the color of their skin and giving it to black people based on the color of their skin and that's just evil we have many historic reasons for poverty in america we hear that more white people in our in poverty than blacks donald trump has shown the best way to raise everybody's plight is to lower corporate

taxes and create jobs black homeownership is at an all time high under donald trump and it was at an all time low under barack obama i voted for donald trump but you look at my skin color and assume i didn't to try to put me in this liberal basket without knowing who you're talking to you assume based on my ethnicity that you know how i thought and how i would argue so you're a good example imagine if i were going in for a job interview i can already assume you think how i am i conduct myself i probably how i live. what my family's like without knowing we do need to correct this problem the country. in france the probe into former president sarkozy's electoral finances has suddenly taken a dramatic twist the local media says he's been detained by police reports sarkozy

is being investigated over funds she allegedly received from libya for france's two thousand and seven presidential race it's suggested he received more than fifty million dollars so cosy one the campaign he became president and four years later france led the way for nato's incursion into libya that brought to an end the regime of moammar gadhafi. well thanks for sharing a tuesday with us here at odds he would back soon with my. mom. mom.

would lol make its manufacture come sentenced him to public wells. when the running plus a summer project themselves. with the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. deluded. real need for. the far right and britain isn't just on the march it's taking violent mother's action i don't like a clean cut at his inaugural i see these organizations which i'll usually split into which we feel which takes different names how do you view that the.

complex web of british basher. this is the cause a report oh my gosh so much to commerce a little time must go right into a thirty max this guy remember him do you know that's jimmy mcmillan remember his party he were ran for governor in the great state of new york with the rent is too damn high party i remember clearly what

a fantastic character well they were from some famous clips of him on stage in debate andrew cuomo and he was like i read today much i hear that hungry mother out here i can't do his voice but he was very funny anyway you know he's kind of considered old school now because he went the legit route you know he tried to campaign to get rent control and reduced prices on rent and rent stabilization and when the political route he campaigned in activism and that sort of thing to get politicians to help with the whole rent situation that we're seeing across many cities in america over the past decade certainly sense the financial collapse and here's the headline that is showing that there's a new wave of milan eels on the scene and they are not happy but they're not taking it to the stage like jimmy mcmillan they're taking it to the streets

a new generation of anti gentrification radicals are on the march in los angeles and around the country so this is yahoo finance and they go out into the streets of los angeles they talk to defend boyle heights and their sister group the boyle heights alliance against our our washington displacement but head boyle heights for those who don't know is in east los angeles is to. of downtown l.a. which use of course the skid row very impoverished very dangerous when i lived in los angeles it was very scary down there but now it's hipster ville very expensive new apartments there it's. changed beyond all recognition but now these boyle heights activists are seeing the signs of gentrification coming to their neighborhood and they are fighting back more in a malcolm x. kind of way if jimmy mcmillan is you know martin luther king jr these guys are

malcolm x. and they are taking it to the streets they're basically forcing out art galleries and hipster coffee shops because they link those two to gentrification and increasing rent the shock troops of gentrification are hipster coffee shops and art galleries and once they appear this group and like minded are pushing them out and they're doing so in an aggressive way right they're like committing vandalism basically they're committing lawbreaking activity to push out in a in a hostile way in an aggressive way the gentrification as a way to stop this rolling tide of of high priced. change avocado many people talk about that but what we're seeing in america in the past ten years especially is remember when we were children it was de population from the city center as people were afraid that danger and the violence of the move

to the suburbs the white flight and then now it's the opposite is all the millennial children of you know upper middle class mostly white families are moving into the cities driving up rents rents are very expensive for these families of the latino and mexican and black families are being driven out by the high rents but i'll tell you how radical it is from what they themselves these defend boyle heights put on their blog when they were organizing a february seventh protest in mary actually square which is over their employer heights east los angeles and they said gentrification is not. your next documentary topic gentrification is not a trend for the wool wide web or for the detached subculture of the left to consume it is a vicious protracted attack on poor and working class people and we are again in class warfare that leaves our friends families and neighbors homeless devastated

deported or dead so get with down friends and make crack so this is them inviting people out to their february seventh event and they were basically marching on an art gallery and demanding they go and so that the real estate agents wouldn't come in and basically friends you know saw the article and i read through the article so they're making the distinction between this particular campaign and previous ones where the been more genteel in those campaigns are they well placards they do marches and they try to get awareness and we don't want judges for geisha and this group and others are saying that that doesn't work we're getting more militarized you know getting more aggressive or getting more militant or getting more class war like i mean the so they're they're engaging in vandalism and violence i mean that's the bottom line to push the money yet they're making it basically so that it's not basically they're making it very impolite they're very they're putting graffiti on

these buildings so there was like an experimental opera group that was supposed to be marching through the streets of boyle heights and this was in order to attract hipsters and bring in the gentrifiers but they they took their own trombones and other horn instruments and started by drowning them out so they follow them wherever they go there is this one woman who is opening an art gallery in boyle heights and she also has an art gallery in new york city and i think brooklyn in fact with all the hipsters live there and she herself lives in the upper east or west side of manhattan and they surround her they travel across the u.s. in a hash tag who'd solidarity tore. and they go to brooklyn and surround her art galleries there and drown her out like they taunt her wherever she is so she stays out of boyle heights now because this boyle heights group has been so successful they their methods are spreading across the united states the other expensive cities as

the article points out as a result of like minded groups and other cities chicago boston new york have adopted the same hard line tactics their ranks are small and their methods are controversial even within the communities they purport to defend but their members are drawn from the most politically radical economically anxious generational cohort in recent memory young millennial is of color and their cause has the makings of a national movement a new more militant war on gentrification so where are these millennial as are as article points out graduating if they are able to go to university graduating with massive debts unlike the boomer generation before them or the generation x. they have these get economy jobs precarious jobs their incomes are lower seventy five percent of those living in boyle heights at the moment rent so they can afford to own and now these. gentrification class is moving and able to buy these

properties drive up rents drive these people out and put in their hipster coffees and i saw this belies two key american myths one is the melting pot and the second is the radio alger myth of of the bootstrapping anyone can succeed in america who works hard so this is a whole group of people a whole generation in america is saying that there is no melting pot we're not being assimilated there's no opportunities and we can't move so their response especially is to go into conflict and this is a major conflict this conflict across the country with a whole generation in a way that is becoming the response to this can can only be as forceful as this as as the as the hostility that we're seeing on the street right. well j.f.k. jr said it. came south said it you know if you if you don't allow a way for these people to be heard then they turn to the streets basically violence

and revolution becomes the only option for certain people so the article does point out that inequality in two thousand and sixteen the top one percent made eighty seven times more than the bottom fifty percent of workers from a twenty seven to one ratio in one nine hundred eighty the c.e.o.'s made to engine seventy one times more on average than the typical employee a nine hundred thirty percent increase since one nine hundred seventy eight so the trend has been worse and worse for them and this is now after decades of polite conversation and attempts for polite activism and going on stage as jimmy mcmillan did in trying to debate andrew cuomo about the rent being too high and he was became a national like me comedy everybody's laughing about it but the concern is very real for these people and regarding this woman for example with this gallery in boyle heights they talk to one of the women who she runs the boyle heights alliance again art washing and displacement bad art washing the new one well i guess

it's our washing so when you see the gallery come in dear neighborhood. pirtle high high and art from on known artists it's a sign of the neighborhood isn't becoming transformed in a way that's on affordable you know the terms white washing or green washing well blue washing there also so white washing is basically providing like the u.k. does that all the time they have an inquiry an inquiry is official and it's lords and ladies who run these inquiries and they present a report that white washes the crime that happened by saying well some terrible things up and people feel really bad about it but so that's white washing our washing is using artists. to wash the community to gentrify the community so artists are being used to get rid of all these latino and black faces from the communities is what they feel so we guarding that woman that i talked about the art

gallery owner who has a place in brooklyn and she has this place in book boyle heights and they're shutting down these are galleries so yahoo finance is following these group of activists from boyle heights and one of the guys that they talk to he's asked why they're stopping why they're actually going after art galleries that seem so barbaric right well he said three five six mission there really smart in the past they used to do black events people of color events empowering workshops and trans people so that identity i don't give a if someone is black or brown or disabled if they're gentrifiers they deserve to die so pretty harsh language there and pretty extreme but this is the sort of militancy their determination to stop art galleries and all the amenities that the real estate agents then use to promote their expense.
