life yet it is that receptor now it's all coming back with the same thing there is proof that this happened. what she referring to there were she says analyzed considering nobody should know american experts are actually out there on the ground though so what evidence are they analyzing. the question i mean one presumes they're trawling through their vast databases of electronic surveillance and might have picked up some chatter of some whispers from who knows who who might be on the ground in syria i mean let's bear in mind as well a member seeing this live on international media a few weeks ago that one of the senior russian generals actually warned there was going to be a false flag a chemical weapons attack in syria now you know where is that coming from as well because you know the russians were picking up chatter but you know in the other direction this is why the o.p.c. w. has to be so careful in gathering evidence in analyzing what might have happened speaking to eyewitnesses as well because you know we've had other alleged chemical
6:31 pm
weapons attacks in syria over the last few years and the two most notorious and it lived and the one last year has both been debunked by very serious investigative journalist seymour hersh who is a pulitzer prize winning american journalist and he won the sam adams award last year for it a final for another twist here as these accusations go backwards and forwards yet another day in moscow now accusing today the u.k. of directly orchestrating what it called a provocation considering what's going to solve. the relations of late what you make about close. well it could obviously just be a tit for tat and we know that on the other hand we do know that the u.k. and the u.s. intelligence agencies have been she said vising the so-called rebels i.e. you know islamic terrorists on the ground in syria and giving them insulin logistical support over the last few years which is prolong the agony of the syrian people so you know who knows what's going on it would be great if every country could have a fair hearing in these sort of investigations rather than
6:32 pm
a sort of gang bullying mentality of the major western countries ganging up together and automatically blaming russia or iran or syria or whatever a lot of us would agree with what you say and their voice common sense. for a five intelligence officer thanks for making the time to be with us tonight. syrian rebels are ready to assist potential u.s. strikes against the countries another development to tell you about that so warning voiced by russia's ambassador to the u.n. during security searched on saturday's alleged chemical attack on the syrian city of duma caleb maupin as more i'm up on tonight. well we heard at the beginning of the meeting from antonio gutierrez the u.n. secretary general and in his remarks he emphasized the need for the o.p.c. w. to get to the bottom of what actually happened in duma where this alleged chemical attack is alleged to have taken place now from there we heard from the russian ambassador in benghazi and went to bed as he is spoke he talked about how these
6:33 pm
reports of allegations of a chemical attack are essentially a pretext to justify u.s. military action against the syrian government and from there he talked about how the extremists and the terrorists who are fighting against the syrian government are preparing for if the usa were to then attack syria they would then surge forward to launch an offensive this is now benazir representing the russian federation we saw recent examples in iraq and libya they show is that the u.s. needs the u.n. security council for pragmatic reasons they used in the case of iraq with the vaio they used it to cover up the initiative of the libyan no fly zone and that's what's being done now you're showing it was an imaginary value it's empty now from there we heard from nikki haley representing the united states as the u.n. ambassador and in her remarks you accused russia of killing the joint investigative mechanism and glossed over and did not mention the fact that that she and the
6:34 pm
united states had actually vetoed a resolution by russia which would have allowed the o.p.c. to be you and mandated that they go to the site of the chemical attack on that russia has provided and offered to provide military protection for the o.p.c. to be to make sure they can get to the bottom of what happened and from there we are nikki haley go into an interesting historical parallels she wanted to make history this is nikki haley speaking before the u.n. security council chemical weapons didn't produce the most casualties and more a war won but they were the most feared in world war two chemical weapons were employed on an industrial scale against civilians resulting in the worst genocide in human history which we recall just yesterday on holocaust remembrance day. now from there we did hear from the people's republic of china and china emphasized that syria's territorial integrity and its sovereignty must be protected and we did
6:35 pm
hear from the syrian arab republic under u.n. rules if there's a u.n. security council relating to your country even if you're not a member of the fifteen member body the u.n. security council you're allowed to address the meeting and the syrian arab republic addressed the meeting saying that they have always opposed the use of chemical weapons that they did not carry out this attack and then they went on to basically accuse the united states of hypocrisy and go over the use of chemical weapons by the united states in vietnam and elsewhere it's not clear what the united states is going to do next but there's clear division within the u.n. security council about how the world should relate to these allegations regarding the area known as duma. of the news tonight says again erupted along the israeli border and goes where i.d.f. soldiers have been using live fire and to disperse the protesters because his health ministry says hundreds of people have been injured including paramedics over the past two weeks thousands of palestinians have been come pending against what's widely seen as israel's occupation of gaza and demanding the right of return to
6:36 pm
israel for palestinian refugees and their descendants. you know was. so the palestinians announce that today is the day of burning the israeli flag and they're going to raise the palestinian issue that was like that and as you see the palestinian protesters are trying to carry all of these israeli flags. as you see the palestinian protesters are starting to burn tires to block the visit of the snipers just like they did last week here is the fence that the palestinians removed from the venue the border district was afraid that that ability to take the side you see that was. funny was
6:37 pm
that was getting out of hand you know he said again just right now from the front the fans do something very desperate just in the lead just right now i don't have that today obviously it's very obvious that the israeli soldiers and the israeli army's are indiscriminately at random east targeting because that vision is actually a block you can't see anything so that's why they're randomly shooting live ammunition out of the palestinian protesters and as you see there are a lot of medics the palestinian has ministry the red cross and everyone is trying to give treatment to those people who are injured in the fate of the. palestinians attending the rallies including children have been taking precautions to try to protect themselves against the take us some arrive with homemade mosques filled with perf human cotton all this with more inventive using fruit vegetables one point. meantime an israeli soldier who shot
6:38 pm
a palestinian on the gaza border during a protest in december has been cleared of wrongdoing by the military inquiry video emerged of him firing shots alongside other snipers and cheered and laughed at the injuries they inflicted. so well it will have to reduce in a. wide. range of dollar. the only thing that the words of one of the other student did. well. what. if when i did the. id i did nothing i was just a demonstration i went to my friends to help them and before i reached the place
6:39 pm
they shot me the soldier knew that i was going to help them and that's why i was shot i spoke to come on how i should from the palestine solidarity campaign who told me is ready soldiers reacting a disproportionate and inhumane way. absolute act of target practice effectively because the cheering from. the soldiers fellow soldiers basically was just completely inhumane and outrageous in the west i challenge them to produce evidence anywhere that this would happen. and in any case this shows you that the difference on the one side you have heavily armored armed soldiers and on the other side all you have are protesters who might have a storm to throw from a long long way away is not exactly going to damage the defense or disorder. french military police have said they're ending an operation to
6:40 pm

6:42 pm
advice for someone who has been there have also been concerns with regard to safety so for example hooliganism and also racism you know you've seen fings about russia and things of happened in russia that's not going to be a problem but up in qana encouraged because of a lot received e-mails from groups over there in russia. immediately some released not nearly as bad as what it's made out to be. on the plane about to head out to russia. and we're looking forward to it. it's a place i never before. to a thousand also supports is come over to watch the game many of them have been advised by the foreign and commonwealth office as well saying they could be an uptake of anti british sentiment amongst some russians due to the heightened
6:43 pm
tension between the two countries at the moment well i mean i can muster already. we are very worried about coming here. actually so it's all right there's no tension between us. politicians. you know when i look around. this game how well organized the series are you get the feeling that the world cup so we could say we love the russia we love the russian people. friendship with that we create. the relations in years to really get the politics the politicians like it's going to life i was
6:44 pm
a bit skeptical when i first come because of all that what was going on or what not but when you commit yourself when you see it that is no problems that haven't seen any. sentiment has been at moscow's been incredible it's just incredible city and everyone is friendly and the russians are lovely i mean to say what happens between governments and what happens between people are totally different. well moscow fans would give you know an official a warning about the dangers of traveling to russia and potentially violent hooligans but as fans arrived in moscow moved towards the stadium for kickoff reports showed scenes of would you believe it enjoyable and trouble free build up to the important european fixture and recent tradition the russian supporters were ready with a warm welcome to. now oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh plays from the says come on sports school handed out as part of the gentle fun campaign aimed at creating
6:45 pm

6:46 pm
protect our residents and how their information is then marketed and sold to a third party to be used against eric david is on line and to influence us that what it basically impose government censorship on all internet activity based in the state of california this is the first in the united states where a body of government significant california is trying to exercise control over information so a bit more about this bill it aims to pull the plug on folsom formation that it would require people who produce web content to coordinate their work with so called fact check is. not the only proposal seeking to target fake news in california either to try and get a handle on this a shoe another bill is also been put forward to try to tell schoolchildren what information is true and what information is full sit the aims to set standards apparently for schools on internet safety and digital citizenship it also seeks to
6:47 pm
encourage media literacy across the state. their recent proliferation of fake news online is extremely concerning as a witness in a two thousand and sixteen election they can use can serve as an intentional tool to manipulate the public and undermine our basic values there is no limit to what would be controlled by the government in the sense that you must use fact checkers. to verify what you're publishing there is no definition of who the fact checkers are or what standards they're using to determine the validity of what is being published or because of it on video really what this california bill is aimed at doing is limiting the scope and the reach of independent media. who are most going to have an insane things watching this latest update from out international more for me in just over half an hour and keep on top of every breaking story in development in syria as it happens to want to cite.
6:48 pm
fracking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here in the mountains
6:49 pm
and the slowdown so much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. it's a tough reality to deal with. so taking had to take matters into its own heads to provide its own security and securing the border areas now this is a very vivid images of a close call it would. who on the bridge to be there. has to be that the british to be. greetings and salutations ever since u.s. president donald trump's wednesday morning tweet heard around the world warning russia not to stand in the way of his impending airstrikes in syria the volume in
6:50 pm
the march to war has been turned up to eleven if you tune in to most u.s. cable news channels or read the new york times the washington post over the last few days you may have suddenly thought to yourself that you were on a bad acid trip bringing you all the way back to the spring and winter of two thousand and three in the run up to the iraq war well you know if you thought that you you would be absolutely right. right except this time there is no acid in syria's the new iraq since the most convenient of alleged chemical weapons attacks of all time and do most serious centrally reversing course on president trumps murmurings of pulling u.s. forces out of syria the washington d.c. war hawks about out in full force both behind the scenes and on prime time from republicans like senator lindsey graham proclaiming quote i would destroy their force to democrats like senator richard blumenthal declaring some kind of military spot response ought to be considered it has to be robust and unmistakable.
6:51 pm
but in the midst of all the political war hawking punkin squawking and red white and blue graphics packages there has been a stunning silence throughout the land that silence is the sound of peace or more to the point the voices for peace those pundits journalists are politicians who seek an alternative to violence in the dropping of bombs on syria and potentially russian soldiers or hardware nowhere with these voices heard or truly represented not on c.n.n. m s n b c or five. wait sorry actually fox news of all places featured voices of peace in tucker carlson and glenn greenwald they were on tuesday night discussing peace before bombs in syria. you know it's so weird day when tucker carlson and glenn greenwald tyrell the terror actually all agree on
6:52 pm
something together when that day comes you know it's time to start watching the hawks. you. want to. get the. real thing this week. as you try to pull out of it. like you know what i got. this. week so. welcome aboard the what parts of the world and on top of the law list and if you ever think that you would be right in line. agreeing politically. with tucker carlson of fox news no no no no no but you know talkers been
6:53 pm
a little weird this last year he's actually there's been through things i've actually you know seen eye to eye with talk of which is one of those moments where you have to step back and say as the whole world gone mad. but you know what he made a great point on syria the great point on the chemical weapons strike you know that we don't know what was responsible for this i mean the government tells us all it's assad it's assad assad well yeah i urge saddam had w m d's to that's what i'm that's and that's the thing that we're going through the exact same time and i keep saying like this is reliving two thousand and three post nine eleven all over again where everybody's blood thirsty for war because we saw something tragic on our own steps or we saw some need tragic the thing is those tragic things happen every day every day i mean coalition air strikes where we're bombing yemen yesterday or the day before and you know but we're worried about these pictures of children and these stories. that may or may not be verified anytime children are hurt by any side nobody likes to see that but i think that's the great point is this is
6:54 pm
happening the world the world and no one's explained to me at all these new brought news broadcasts those explain why it's the american people why we need to be involved like what what how this is important to us in our day to day lives. and you know it there's a lot of warm our i mean ali velshi i was like he basically this is what i love is the war porn that comes out from there's nowhere like you where a two thousand he wore viewers through like every possible sperm of stright from like the smallest itty bitty strike to the big huge damaging strikes as like it i felt break and it wasn't exactly exactly the b.b.c. was pushing headlines and stories you know better size and weapons and you know big of a tale of the tape style set up between like russia the u.s. the u.k. friends of syria their headline was syria war weapons key players have at their disposal it's an act it's a military industrial complex ad it's an advertisement for the stuff and when i see
6:55 pm
those kinds of things i mean how is this news how is this important how does this better our democracy if that's you know if if that's the level we're going out now and that's the question is what does this do is good for democracy it's good for world community well it's not having all of these sort of pundits from both sides the neo liberal. group of me all the work on actually was trevor tim the executive director for the freedom of the press foundation and tweeted this he said pundits in the media are making john bolton's wildest dreams come true and his first week on the job everyone is calling for a new war and i do not understand one side hillary and the democrats that she wasn't an interventionist this wasn't a deal that wasn't sure what she was going to bring she was going to bring peace right and the reason and then on the same side you had donald trump's campaign saying. over and over we don't want more intervention as we don't want this thing then why are the establishment democrats in the establishment republicans all
6:56 pm
getting together holding their hands and singing kumbaya what with a baseball for america does to me doesn't make any sense especially coming up on a on an election it does do you not realize what they ran on though they don't because it just shows you over and over again that's the thing and then you know talked about before it shows over and over again that all they do is tell you one thing on the campaign trail do the opposite when they get in office because of politicians because their politicians commenting on the rush for war group think that has once again taken over washington journalists and politicians mattei the bet on the show he wrote in rolling stone whether trump has brought out the worst in the house or we've just lost our minds we've become a danger to the world and to ourselves holding john bolton door as a school aside weapons that trump might forget the awesome danger of nuclear war is a given the man is a fool but what's our excuse and that's the big question of the day what it is not only washington but the rest of the nations excuse i don't see people marching in
6:57 pm
the streets for peace right now i don't even hear of it happening over the weekend coming up whereas our excuse that now when you've got trump and bolton in charge there is no one stepping up saying hey. let's give peace a chance. if not it of the emergency broadcast system but experts warn that maybe we should be testing that system a lot more in fact for less than forty us dollars a moderately experienced hacker could hijack the sirens alarms and notifications that are meant to keep us safe in the event of an emergency or to such a sweet as the story. emergency alert systems were created to warn communities of natural disasters or even terrorist activity however emergency expert. they are now admitting how vulnerable the technology is not even be made to guard against hacking for this week security company best deal and covered
6:58 pm
a vulnerability in san francisco's emergency alert system they found hackers could trigger their one hundred fourteen sirens or blare out false malicious messages here you see a big c.e.o. employee who says after discovering the radio frequencies could hijack the an encrypted system using only the thirty dollars radio you see pictured and a laptop false alarms can wreak havoc as we saw last january and hawaii all this false emergency alert of a ballistic missile threat was a result of human error not hacking it caused chaos among the islands at the time there were threats that kim jong il was in the pacific for an attack so it's no surprise the false threats that shock waves throughout hawaii and the rest of the nation last april a hacker was able to trigger all one hundred fifty six sirens in dallas that went off for ninety minutes were admiral david simpson the former chief of public safety and homeland security bureau of the f.c.c. said it could be very concerning to citizens but certainly to emergency management
