a u.s. media company is under fire after telling t.v. anchors to read a scripted promo against fake news critics say it bears a politically motivated message. israel suspends an agreement with the un to relocate african refugees to some european countries italy and germany say they were never made aware of the deal in the first place. and the museum in new york is facing backlash after a white candidate was appointed as curator of its african art exhibit the move has rekindled something of the great effect we absolutely should not be trying to say there's too much should be quote play or a tie it's. a

very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me. now our top story a u.s. broadcasting corporation is under fire for asking president as to read out a prepared script for promotional video it warned viewers of the dangers of fake news the sinclair group which is known for its conservative stance owns almost two hundred stations across the u.s. it sends out a memo requiring it sank to read out a statement during their news programs the script attached the quote troubling trend of irresponsible one sided news stories plaguing our country the sharing of biased information and you can call to comment on the issue of. the. recently or through the trees extremist unfortunately sometimes you.

can't control. this is really dangerous george marci the organization stated the project asserted no political agenda but was aimed at praising its journalism however the initiative has drawn outrage across the mainstream media and some people are saying the message supports donald chung's narrative that some popular outlets all spreading fake news the president has also responded to the critics of the group saying that the c.n.n. and n.b.c. groups criticizing sinclair is a total joke but telling news organizations what to say and do is an accusation we've heard before and startling zucker explains russian media as a beacon of honesty truth and integrity we work hard to maintain our outstanding level of work unlike foreign outlets who lie i love putting. my money.

spicy with a lot of that's the assumption many in the west make about russian media fully controlled broadcasts with angers and correspondents forced to read a pre-prepared scripts no details left to chance so much of it is state funded after all but in the us where so many channels are corporate owned it must be different right sinclair broadcast group which owns almost two hundred television stations and broadcast on around six hundred channels proudly proclaims its mission statement that it provides stories that make a difference. well and it's recent promos there's not much of a choice or a difference it seems the sharing of biased and false news you can call to comment on the year of the morning. recently or through the first unfortunately the summer summers you.

see more of the usa and this is really dangerous towards marcy as you can see anchors from different channels reading the same script there which was by the way leaked to some media outlets and it looks like they only had to fill in their names like it could. kick and if you look closely you'll notice an absence of certain colors in their wardrobes that's no accident they were given specific instructions on how to dress in order to look neutral. kick kick. because everyone knows that magenta is the color that gives you and your bias away apart from these promo sinclair also distributes what's known as must run segments to their stations so while the propaganda finger is so often pointed at russia it looks like we actually have quite

a bit to learn starting with my wardrobe. the presidents of turkey and russia due to meet in ankara on tuesday there is also a trilateral summit the following day when they will be joined by iran the main focus of the talks is expected to be the pace full settlement of the conflict in syria are trying to is there. we are in the turkish capital ankara it is the first destination abroad for vladimir putin after reelection choose day as the time for all kinds of discussions between vladimir putin and the turkish president typing on and on wednesday they will be joined by the iranian leader hassan rouhani reason number one for all that is syria absolutely different things are in it for all three leaders but somehow thanks to the trio the syrian crisis is no longer a dead end the so-called calif it is all but gone and russian efforts have shifted

on to conflict notes that before seem to be impossible to untie russia has almost completed its operation and east ghouta thanks to the so-called reconciliation center and the humanitarian pauses backed by moscow as many as one hundred fifty thousand civilians were able to escape the blockade. at less than one community because of. plus it was stunned that the rebels were never going to leave another area called duma but an agreement has been reached and the fighters are being escorted to adlib on green busses some would argue it only plays into the hands of the assad government but then why are some rebels saying yes to turkey next which is trying to find

a balance between the war on kurdish militants which it considers terrorists appeasing syrian rebels and being friends with russia and her olive branch military seems to have paid off for the turks turkey has taken the city of our friend from the kurds and a massive blow for the community. that erin currier considers terrorists when it comes to sorting out the war damascus versus the rebels turkey is also actively taking part but obviously they're backing the syrian opposition that is thanks to ankara some of the toughest syrian rebels agreed to come to sought cheap for the syria national congress iran clearly wants to stay on top of its game as a shia powerhouse of course they've always been on a sad sight fighting a proxy war with saudi arabia and trying to put up a bit of a show against israel but perhaps surprisingly the tentative few reweigh align

seems to be working in the meantime we're knocking the hell out of isis will become another syria like very soon let the other people take care of it now to put it mildly the russians in the radians won't be so sure it was america that knocked the hell out of islamic state besides take a look back at the last few months and you'll see that lately sorting out syria is really been up to the trio and so they're back together talking again this time in . r t. well as we heard that eastern go to is now close to being fully liberated medicines have been cleared from a number of cities that including being video agency rep play a visit to the area shortly after it was afraid they managed to filming find a network of underground tunnels they were abandoned by militants continues to connect militants bases in different areas but tunnels also contained

a failed hospital with areas struggling back towards normality one successful has received a boost scientists have saved the game found things which could help agriculture in the country. keeping the sea to be the second generation the future for any reason must be natural has all whatever. god lets us do for everybody. because all day every hour they do want us to get inside this nation and i think.

it will bring one hundred and twenty. four more live. with this special game of the government. let's. go back. to tell how your station to resume because i think if you are very confident that you are all in the region. germany and italy have been left stunned by news they were going to receive thousands of african refugees from israel and in agreement brokered with the united nations the country's representatives in israel told local media that they had heard nothing about it from either policy meanwhile in an apparent to use her and the israeli prime minister has suspended the deal. it's

a unique agreement with the states of israel which remains sixteen thousand two hundred fifty people out of a zero two developed countries such as canada germany and italy. well there's way prime minister benjamin netanyahu certainly seems to be buckling under pressure late on monday in a facebook post here announced in a dramatic about face that he was not canceling an earlier announcement that he'd made just a few hours before where he said that a new agreement had been reached between the israeli government and the united nations refugee agency and according to that announcement there would be some sixteen thousand african migrants who would be resettled in a western country the countries he mentioned were canada germany and italy and in addition there would be some eight hundred thousand others who would receive temporary status here in israel we heard from the german embassy here in israel that they had not had any consultations with either the israeli government or with

the united nations so they knew nothing about this and the same kind of sentiments being expressed by the italian foreign minister and don't forget germany and italy are two of the countries that prime minister netanyahu mentioned as receiving migrants the latest information came from the israeli prime minister in a facebook post late on monday in which he said and i'm quoting there i hear you and especially the residents of south television and that is where many of the migrants live and he's talking there to the right when critics said he lies on for his coalition government and for his supporters who have spoken out against his policies on the migrant issue so for the time being he certainly is suspending the agreement but would have to keep an eye on developments as a city becomes kiran clear that israeli prime minister is facing mounting pressure r.t. also tried to contact the canadian embassy in israel it's among the countries that were supposed to receive the refugees we are yet to receive or apply middle east analyst jim miles says that netanyahu is testing the political waters under the

customary and congressional human rights agreements that exist today countries are responsible without an obligation to refuse. them. in their own countries seems to be mainly of the litter going to the domestic audience doesn't make sense to say that you're sending people here or there or contacting those governments can only believe that he did that because he's just trying to sue that's not insured and won't be politically you know who operates on his own will and soon it's a very complex situation for him because i know there are a lot of it's really just from what i've read as well and heard on the news that are objecting to his plans and they want these people to be able to stay. through. hundreds of people in the gaza strip turned out on monday to mourn the death of a victim of clashes with israeli soldiers the violence which started last friday has resulted in at least sixteen deaths and nearly three hundred injuries according

to un figures on saturday the israeli defense force tweeted that none of the actions were un controlled and they knew where every bullet landed however that statement was later deleted from their social media page one incident that sparked outrage is seen in this video it purports to show an i.d.f. soldier detaining a palestinian toddler in hebron. well israel says the incident was a provocation and intended to patrol a its forces in a bad light they say the boy was sent to throw stones and had a screwdriver in his hand with which he attempted to stab the soldiers we spoke to relatives of the boy involved. three what i deserve. was playing with other children when mine assaulted him and insulted his mother there is no justification for arresting a child and against the wall the child was caring. for such

there's anything wrong with this person skill or talent or capabilities the only thing in me one has been looking or race or skin color and that's shameful the point is that there are very few hours somebody knows as it is a very very small you have you have people who have people in our community have it's and i have written for these arenas where there are where there are very few opportunities for those young people to be able to even be of to even have the courage to study in these arenas because they know that they're not even going to be considered for these opportunities we absolutely should not be trying to say. should be quote prioritized we're not going to be excited or. even with whole day are discussed around the app around people forgetting to give us the opportunities that it least make the most sense to fall towards us racial segregation circa nineteen fifty five said shirton positions certain duties certain functions could

cultural issues we called the opinion of our guests once again the idea that the only way to stop an idiot from recommending the children put on blackface is to place black people in positions of supervisory authority fails to appreciate the significance of the error that occurred here but is. there actually know what people are going through in these communities and can represent that perspective so that that you don't have just one supremacy perspective that is overseeing this process but you have a diversity of perspectives and that includes the people who you are expecting to be honoring or teaching or developing. supporters of consonance former president take to the streets in berlin demanding his release and thousands of women in yemen rally against violence by the u.s. led coalition still ahead after the break.
