the u.n. security council fails to agree on how to investigate an alleged chemical attack in syria bringing a potential escalation in the conflict one step closer yet again seek to compromise . the credibility of the international investigation unfortunately. colleagues. with the u.s. threatening military action against them without any investigation a mission by the international watchdog you set to arrive in syria by the end of the week. facebook's. turns out those grilling the c.e.o. have been financially supported by him in the past meanwhile the social media giant

faces a battle from some of its users we want to be. i'm being. there thanks for joining us here on r.t. international for the latest global updates on daniel hawkins. with syria teetering on the brink of a new round of conflicts another war this time of words has been playing out in diplomatic circles that saw for three draw for solutions over the alleged chemical attack in eastern guta failed to win approval during the latest session of the u.n. security council you know my parents always said you should always see the good in everyone. and you should always see the good in everything so i've been trying to figure out what the good is with russia and. i think they're very good. playing

games. i'm not sure i know for sure that you are good at threatening yet again seek to compromise the in the credibility of the international investigation unfortunately our merican partners and colleagues the real investigation this council least of all russia should not be calling the shots way from carrying out those plans regarding syria or you're working on we are not able to support the tanks it would be like watching a fire and identifying that there is and doing nothing to put it out. this resolution has not been adopted and you. do hope that the mission for the facts both reach syria and we'll be able to sort out these things within its mandate to agree with the wiring to international tensions reports have been pouring out of the us the prong an aircraft carrier to the middle east and europe

warships will replace another strike group which recently completed its mission to the middle east earlier washington promised a tough response against the massacres including a military strike moscow says such action would have the most serious consequences possible air strikes on syria were potentially revealed when the e.u. organization for the safety of an avocation issued an alert it says all flights in the mediterranean area within the next seventy two hours should exercise caution and planning russia's federal air transport agency also would form the country's airlines of possible dangers in the area. now this all comes as russia vetoed a u.s. resolution on probing the allegations of chemical weapons being used on duma while two of russia's own drafts also failed to win back in russia insists experts from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons should investigate the attacks of the attack claims on the ground that's contrary to washington's proposal . and specter is to visit the alleged site of the attack immediately there for the

protection and safe passage russia's resolution also rejected the notion the o.p.c. w. should be tasked with attributing blame. the pun up of it's clear to us that they had already decided who the snow was blowing the syrian regime and russia with the wrong on the own so interested in and the best the geisha and when the interested in an investigation will be so new when it's based on exclusive. opposition social media. the incident is said to have taken place over the weekend in duma there is now on the government control off to russia broke out an agreement with the rebels moscow inspected the area and says there's no indication any chemical agents had been used and locals failed to confirm the attack that's not convinced some countries though caleb maupin reports. three drafts were put forward one from the united states one from russia and another from russia based on

a swedish draft but at the end of the day none of them passed russia and united states vetoed each other's resolutions and the other one did not have a majority at this point there is not agreement within the body that leaves the united nations about how the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons will proceed to investigate the situation in duma. to go to the movies this vote is a litmus tests that tells us a lot and is very worrying we proposed a very innocent draft resolution which was substantially identical to the swedish one proposed yesterday it's not clear to us why they voted against it they simply should have said they were against it because it was russia's draft resolution you say we are good at playing games but i would say you are good at threatening and your threats to syria worry us a lot nikki haley she took the floor representing the united states and she urged countries around the world to vote against russia's resolution this is the logic

behind her arguing that the resolution puts russia and the assad regime itself in the driver's seat for making arrangements for the fact finding mission investigators were just supposed to trust that the same government. who says everything about the duma attack was fake will work in good faith with the o.p.c. down under the un rules the syrian arab republic had a right to address the security council because the resolutions that were proposed pertained to them so syria took to the floor and it basically said they did not want what the united states did in iraq and libya to be repeated in syria and they did not want syria to be reduced to chaos and a stable government to fall under false pretenses despite the old tension between the russian and american envoy speak for them we think nice that exchanged a friendly case they also talked for a while of us sitting to bend as it seemed willing to let nikki haley go and chat

with a handshake. despite all the confrontation in the un security council a fact finding mission will still be sent to syria shortly that's according to the un's chemical watchdog even without any official conclusions though the u.s. says it's sure the attack took place now we do know that some sort of a substance was used a chemical was use we're just not sure at this point today exactly what was with used this has nothing to do with the alleged use of chemical weapons this has everything to do with a geo political agenda that wants to put the iranians in a box wants to confront the russians in syria that is really upset over the thought that the effort that's been going on for seven years by western powers that are local friends like the like saudi arabia has failed and that the assad government will remain in power they've been seeking

a pretext to try to change that so this really has nothing to do with the truth or falsehood of the allegations about duma. a french president about omar kroll has also been lashing out at russia are accusing it of obstructing the investigation but some of you not shared by all politicians in his country everyone knows perfectly that in wartime the first victim is truth what happens on the ground is almost unknown to us the chemical attack which evidently took place is abominable we must condemn it but we still have to find out who committed it it sounds a lot like an excuse for the united states of america and their allies to get back in the game and to engage in an armed conflict i think that currently france is contributing to the creation of the we creation of a certain form of the cold war with russia it's pointless because it doesn't benefit france or its economy or international relations to let the u.s. seeking to stir up a conflict with russia boss around and during tuesday's security council meeting

the us ambassador nikki haley proclaimed russia's hands are covered in the blood of syrian children and added that shaming russia with pictures of those kids works. takes a look at the pictures of children the u.s. envoy chose not to show to shame the russians all the u.s. officials think they have to do is say one word kids russian reason houstonians are all covered in the blood of syrian children can not be esteemed by pictures of its victims. returned for you see mrs haley said it out loud they're used to telling the world about kids russia's friends killed with the latest chemical attack call like always the american media were there to spread the word these images are so disturbing the children the families in such distress what you see around their mouth has to be found that's a sign of a chemical attack hundred thick images of syrian children fighting for us accusing

russian and syrian president assad ruined children's lives thousands of graves that weren't meant to be dug so early stories from war ravaged parts of the middle east will make you cry and all of them must be told but i can't help asking why for u.s. officials or journalists these agonizing stories from mosul iraq or rocca in syria don't exist. no on some channels you'll never see their stories maybe because there are scars or how america's top military man puts it a fact of life civilian casualties are a fact of life civilians will get caught in the crossfire civilians will get hurt

civilians will get killed if you want to liberate your towns and cities it comes at a price the responsibility for civilian casualties in iraq and syria lies with not us we are the good guys and munitions people on a battlefield know the difference kids lives in another arab country yemen have turned into a disaster that's a fact so say humanitarian groups and it is a fact of life in a sense that washington is pretty much at hand when saudi arabia is bombing civilians across the border the south. cities have spent billions on what on call sam has to offer and donald trump loves selling guns to riyadh in terms of dollars very very you know and five hundred thirty three million dollars five hundred twenty five million dollars. besides in case someone forgot the americans themselves have for years been taken away innocent

lives in afghanistan must have when explosions happen i was with my uncle and cousins american soldiers opened fire and a bullet flew by my face. this is my younger brother. he was killed by u.s. troops this is my brother shot of fats. and this is my father's jihad group he was killed as well i want the government to avenge my father and kill his killers reversing regime who are all covered in the blood of syrian children can not be ashamed. of their good script. for a movie about franco in moscow meanwhile britain's former prime minister tony blair says his country should get involved in syria led claims the u.k. should back a u.s. intervention against damascus in the wake of the alleged chemical attack the man who joined forces with washington to invade iraq back in two thousand and three says britain has no choice but to back its allies. this would be action in support

of of military intervention by the the us if you don't respond to this too to the use of chemical weapons against civilians then obviously you know we're ignoring what the international community has said which is that this is unacceptable than those that use such measures methods should be held to account even if we take the action which i think we all have to do. it doesn't solve the longer term question of what happens in syria. i gave the order for british forces to take part in military action in iraq my judgment as prime minister is that this threat is real growing and of an entirely different nature to any conventional threat to our security that britain has faced before. the program in the form that we thought it was did not exist in the way that we thought so i could apologize for that i can also apologized by the way for some of the mistakes in planning and

certainly our mistake in in our understanding of what would happen once you remove the regime. for all of this i express more. sorrow regret and apology that you may have know or can believe. just remind you the iraq inquiry known as the chilcot report was published in twenty sixteen and uncovered mistakes in the u.k.'s six year long campaign in iraq it revealed there was no imminent threat to the u.k. from saddam hussein it also highlighted that blair's certainty iraq was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction including chemical and biological agents was unjustified military analyst. believes blair is now just following the western line on syria. this is all about playing to the gallery this is all about headlines twitter and media this is not about syria what what's good for syria as far as the

u.s. france and u.k. goes it's making themselves feel good and patting themselves on the back sadly this is a tried and tested formula of the last seven years the west make their mind up even before a minute has passed for any action on the ground and in this case the americans the europeans and the british have always wanted to be the judge jury and executioner and you can't do that any crime that's committed you you need to look at the evidence but if no one wants to look at the evidence then they want to look the other way. and for more news just off for a short break. you should. put themselves on the line big get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be breached. that you'd like to be press which is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested

always in the waters of my. question. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager killian and spending two to twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else only because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game migrate to one more chance for. me it's going to.

come back to the program us social media sensations diamond and so say facebook still hasn't before suddenly restricted their viral front page they claim that without explanation the social media giant cut their notifications to their millions of subscribers and then claim the content was unsafe before clarifying it was because of inappropriate behavior we have communicated directly with diamond and silk about this issue the message they received last week was inaccurate and not reflective of the way we communicate with our community and the people who run pages on our platform we have provided them with information about our policies and the tools that the ripley people to their page look forward to the opportunity to speak with them will do a became a web sensation for their commentary on the twenty sixth u.s. presidential election it's not the first time they've been blocked online on you tube monetized almost all their content a year ago we spoke to the geo who accuse facebook of discrimination. i didn't

understand it and when he said that our car kit and our right hand is unsafe to the community our brain is that i'm a little guy i mean the circus to black chicks that's down with politics right now you have that we are conservative we love our country we love our president ok so when i said that i was offended by it we with our heart by it we look at this has been censorship discrimination defamation of character and even a byelection of our civil rights being too black where as if we are some type of animal or limbs are somebody just out there just get out and say that is appalling to me your face book is going to have the answer to that why what was the reason because we don't know that's right and we can appeal that they said that we could not appeal that and this was final phase because a very huge entity ok it is an entity that people from around the world join

facebook so we don't want to get into this here our lying where you have one person dictating what people can see and what people can hear on this platform when a star has millions our round the world not just in the united states but millions around the world because that's where it gets dangerous that's right do not drive or silence people's free speech that's where i stand is that you've got to be balanced and we know that they want to say that they are private entity but you are open to the public eye you are open to the public you cannot discriminate around five hours of friendly chat that's what facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg face those he answered questions from the very senators him previously donated money to the committee process on personal data misuse and the alleged russian ties to the u.s. presidential election so american was the. mark zuckerberg is testifying before congress over a three day period addressing claims that play word analytic they used facebook to

obtain users' data which was apparently used to influence the u.s. election but what was unusual about this particular hearing is that there was one witness testifying before nearly half of the senate and there was a lot of chatter up to the hearing but it looks like it didn't live up to expectations now apologized several times prior to the hearing and he also issued an apology during his opening statement we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a big mistake and it was my mistake and i'm sorry i started facebook i run it and i'm responsible for what happens here and one would expect that the senate would grill him with a number of tough questions but that didn't happen either over the past decade senators from both committees received donations from facebook and that includes the current election cycle were these people have eighty seven million people users

concentrated in certain states are you able to figure out where they're from do you think we need consistent prophecy protections for consumers across the and our internet ecosystem have you heard of total information awareness you know i'm talking about you know i do not ok this is not what is facebook doing to prevent foreign actors from interfering in u.s. elections as we discussed in my office yesterday the line between legitimate political discourse and hate speech can sometimes be hard to identify and can you discuss what steps that facebook currently takes when making these evaluations would you be comfortable sharing with us the name of the hotel you stayed in last night. no. i think you're genuine i got that chance and conversing with you you want to do the right thing you want to enact reforms and that's according

to the center for responsive politics so that could explain why they don't go after facebook we also saw some discussion of russia during the meeting but that didn't go so well these. i'm verified divisive pages on facebook today it looks a lot like the enormous good to russian agents. to spread propaganda during the trial sixteen like should be able to confirm whether they're russian gray groups yes or no. senator you asked about those specifically is i am not familiar with there is a piece of content specifically and despite the hearing facebook shares actually went up so people aren't taking this seriously or they approve of the way zucker burge is handling it and zuckerberg also revealed that he is cooperating with the muller investigation on russia but besides that no stunning revelations. danish football legend peter schmeichel has been travelling to the host cities of

this summer's world cup to explore the beauty of us city of russia this time he reports from the city of. welcome to the rena this magnificent stadium has always seen china sea and confederation cup football and this summer it's going to be hosting six games in the world cup and one of them will feature a local hero. striker as moved from iran and he goes face to face with spades. this hand is a significant muslim city so for the ranch play and this pitch dissolve this

massive award else is going on and i'm peter schmeichel and i'm here to find out. the first thing i will tell you about this is that i think it's beautiful and there's only one way when i can see everything at once and that's from inside the flying but. it's also very. it's a house of population they pray in there and that's a cathedral that's for the christians the other half they pray over that in the mosque that some muslims but come well come time they're all going to be praying for the football god.

i've been invited to a traditional time muslim wedding today and the best idea i could come up with as a kid was to cook my own chuck chuck which is the most traditional just on this the first time i'm doing this but i'm pretty confident. and i'm off running sending arms to me only left so it's nice because i. know i need to roll the dice and even. non going to cut it like that. so i'm going to take half of this now and put it in the oil and the reason that's half is that if you take the whole thing they might just grow together in there or something and i'm now going to pass the syrup which is basically just how funny how sugar this flat the cha-cha

stops become. healthy for like so this is nice and perfect seven of that a lot of calories in there put it over here. for needs to be quick because the stick together. i now have to foam with my hands i think in the history of charge this still doesn't come first. say what i can. it's just to this. there's no way that i can bring this to the happy couple that's kind of bad luck for them. this is why i mean to one. so that's a that's how supposed to look. thank
