a very warm welcome you are watching r.t. international with me they care and good to have you with us now our top story a fight fake news that's the mission statement of the largest local broadcasting corporation in the u.s. and is requiring its presenters to read out a scripted message to back that up i think lead group which is known for its conservative stance owns almost two hundred stations across america it sends out a memo telling anchors to read out a statement during their news programs this script to attach the quote troubling trend of irresponsible one sided news stories plaguing our country and here's how that looked. the sharing of biased information news here you can call to comment on the. recently or through the

exorcist fortunately the stars and receive the. address. for you and this is really dangerous george marcy the broadcaster states the project no political agenda however the initiative has drawn outrage across the mainstream media and many people are saying the message supports the narrative of donald trump that some popular outlets are spreading fake news the president has also stepped into the spot to defend the same claire group he once again described c.n.n. and n.b.c. as dishonest fake news networks while telling news organizations what to say and do is also an accusation we've heard before chuckling victor explains russian media is 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 mind

is in the. spicy with irish that's the assumption many in the west make about russian media fully controlled broadcast with angers and correspondent 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 the 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 the key to our success is concentrated says one alerts protecting them . on all platforms well and its recent promos there's not much of a choice or a difference it seems the sharing of biased and false news has become a call to comment on the social media world. he recently are going through with the first unfortunately the summer summers of. the solicitor

. general control. of the usa and this is really dangerous to our democracy 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 hi and i'm be our greatest responsibility is to serve the northwest community used. 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 the goal is to look apolitical neutral nonpartizan yet professional black. man females should wear yellow gold magenta sign devoid red blue or purple 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

all 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's 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 peaceful settlement of the conflict in syria has the details. 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 and 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 still caliph it is all but gone and russian efforts have shifted on to conflict notes that before seemed 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. less isn't going to tell you as you. 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 buses 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 as olive branch military ops 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 current considers terrorists when it comes to sorting out the war damascus vs the rebels turkey is also actively taking part but obviously they're backing the syrian opposition it 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 we've always been on a sad sight fighting a proxy war with saudi arabia and trying to keep a bit of

a show against israel but perhaps surprisingly the tentative few re we 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 and the radians won't be so sure it was america that not 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 . our team. well as we had their recent go to is now close to being fully liberated militants have been cleared from a number of cities there including our being artie's video agency rep visited the area shortly after they were freed they managed to film inside a network of underground tunnels they were abandoned by militants and were used to

connect militant base little different areas that's one of those also contained a failed hospital all syria is struggling to towards normality back to normality one sector has received a boost scientists have saved a gene bank which could help agriculture and the country. why are you keeping the secret to be the second generation of the future for and the reason must be natural because all of whatever. life says to him by a veritable they're thankful for the area they do want us to give you sorry just

the same i think. we succeeded to bring you one hundred and twenty feet from all that. you have going on with this pressure agreement from the government. or from. the. very very optimistic that you go. back. to tell how the station to please you all because of that here you are very confident that you're going to roll them into the. germany and italy have been left stunned by news they were going to receive thousands of african refugees from israel an agreement brokered with the united nations the country's representatives in israel

told local media that they had heard nothing about it from either party meanwhile than in a power is used in the israeli prime minister has suspended the deal which for israel granting residency to migrants and exchange for the west resettling the same number. it's a unique agreement with the states of israel which removes sixteen thousand two hundred fifty people out of the zero two developed countries such as canada germany and italy well this 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 have not had any consultations with our 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 wing critics that 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 that would have to keep an eye on developments as a city becomes clearer and clearer that israeli prime minister is facing mounting

pressure. r.c. also tried to contact the canadian embassy in israel is among the countries that were supposed to receive the refugees we are yet to receive a reply middle east analyst jim miles says that netanyahu is testing the political waters. under the customary and conventional human rights agreements that existed and countries are responsible they have an obligation to help refugees and to work with them within their own countries seems to be mainly of either going up to the domestic audience doesn't make sense to say that you're sending people here or there or them contacting those governments and i can only believe that he did that because he's just trying to see we're that's not insured and maybe politically you know who operates on his own will and has a whole world seem 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 in israel and be done through. hundreds of people on the gaza strip turned out on monday for the funeral 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 their actions were uncontrolled and they knew where every bullets learned it 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 idea of soldier detaining a palestinian toddler in hebron. israel says the incident was a provocation intended to patrol 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 stop the officers we spoke to

relatives of the boy involved. re what i desire. most playing with other children one unarmed man assaulted him and then sold to his mother is no justification for arresting a child and him against the wall the child was carrying a. young child could not anyone who in a of years old. cannot my lord my brother was playing and the soldiers just took him he's only two and a hell of years old he can't even talk yet i went and pulled him from the hands of the soldier and gave him to my father. a museum in new york is facing backlash after a white candidate was appointed as curator of his african art exhibit even though the woman has a ph d. in african art history and previously had experience in similar projects many have questioned why the brooklyn museum didn't hire a person of color for the job but museum has defended its choices saying it is

continuing to work on equality issues and will take all concerns into account when asked legal commentator horace cooper and john a indigo writer and activist for their thoughts on this issue. there have yet to be any any coverage that suggests that there's anything wrong with this person's skill or talent or capabilities the only thing in anyone has been looking at or race or skin color and that's shameful the point is that there are very few outlets for terri's a very very small you have you have people who have people in our community have it's not have 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 a to even have the courage to study in these arenas because they know that they're not 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
