over the script poisoning case also of the recent syria campaign led by the u.s. u.k. and france as well some of the questions being asked by the press for example the first question we had that we were monitoring going to karin can i still regarding the script she said that austria is neutral on the script case she does not agree with the expulsion of diplomats she says the channels should always remain open between the officials of all countries otherwise it is counterproductive regarding the airstrikes on duma in the wake of the alleged chemical attack there in syria the austrian foreign minister can i still saying that we base all foreign policy on facts there should be an investigation and we follow the principle of inviting international organizations on these cases and austrian officials very concerned about an escalation of the situation in the region and one of the other questions being asked as well mr lavrov are you ready to make certain concessions in syria on

ukraine to ease sanctions against russia mr lavrov saying we are seeing geo political engineering in both syria and ukraine in many ways a containing russia and finally one quick question from the reporters to mr lavrov saying that washington has warmed to ankara turkey might be sanctioned if it goes ahead and by the s four hundred missile defense shield from russia simply said that is blackmail and turkey should be a source for and decision for turkey and the us as a part of nato should take into account the collective opinion of nato members more details on that press conference right now at the dot com more news after the break .

four men are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the us did not shoot around a corner. we are still living with a lot of conflicting undoes when reading the situation in syria to the rest of the middle east to the problem between so did in libya and iran now the american president is that i and you know to withdraw under some out of three go dead we heard that the saudis are ready to go down. on their go down so with can be in the end the pull to fail the reason is the situation is very very dangerous.

place to go is all we have to be a person and then to plant the seeds you know that the books say of the europeans so the dog. in this room wanted to put is a fuss about stuff i didn't. feel think. that i will. want to stop jumping to cia flush the innocent until they don't find me new sound so females of ballet shoot your own fault listen she was.

have you with us today for the program almost three decades have passed since the worst ever disaster in british sporting history the hillsborough tragedy that left ninety six liverpool football fans dead after they were crushed during a game when the stand they were in became dangerously overcrowded stan collymore has been speaking to the sister of one of the victims. didn't just say hi. to my parents the books family always it wasn't just down for the family. and it's not my dad's fight and i was so real sorry i would cry now when we were out. i just. we ended up going to the boys' club. the only way i can describe the plight is how.

every so often these police officers would stand on a chair and go everybody recognizes you recognise these trainers anybody recognise this girl a moment but didn't want to look because she didn't want it to be your last one so you were too scared to look anywhere they started going in this thoughts of all hate and the place of oh it's go along the board don't row it's halim because i can assure you mr brooks also isn't going to look like anything you just remember him to look a much upset there were people not bored you couldn't work out whether the fame old mio that were unrecognizable but i made my dad's go through that bought three. feel when you when you know just like there is not that stuff that you don't let you know something is not going to die out like. what was said about them was the

only we know what was said about them just as good that we drove there were too late and there were faults in that ok it says there were lawfully killed and that's what we fall for for. that is metro at the site pride of the. it's been revealed to facebook's making changes to move the bulk of its users out of the e.u.'s legal reach weeks before the block plans to enforce strict new privacy rules nearly one point five billion accounts will be switched from the platforms international headquarters in ireland to its main offices in california that means they will be coming under u.s. regulations the move affects some seventy eight percent of all facebook users from regions like africa asia and latin america and the transition will be completed

before the new e.u. data protection all takes effect on may twenty fifth it imposes requirements on how users data was four percent of the company's global revenue which for facebook could mean more than a billion dollars the social media giant meantime has actually downplayed the importance of this enormous user data switch. with being clear that we are offering everyone who uses facebook the same previously protections controls and settings no matter where they live these updates do not change that. the developments come as the website is still reeling from a massive data breach scandal involving the political research group cambridge analytical as the result eighty seven million facebook users did have their personal information compromised and the company's c.e.o. was called to testify in front of congress mark zuckerberg says notes from those hearings show he was advised to avoid saying the platform already complies with the

new e.u. previously law and they also didn't include any mention of the company expanding those protections worldwide well we discussed facebook's privacy policy with the co-founder of iceland's pirate party but it gives a young daughter she things users are still not informed enough about who is really handling the data. when mark suckle book says that you know the users can control what they're doing is completely lie because people don't know about it as we have user agreements that are you know figure than the bible when you have companies that are forced and there are so big that they're also forced to give government data and they also sell the data or actually know the dance of the data to sell you your the product you are not aware of how these things work and they're so big that they are not even in control over that it themselves then you have big problems nobody knows what's how these algorithms work who feeds them what is being

put into them and i think that we need to actually instead of focusing on this current narrative of you know new cold war we should be focusing on how do we learn to be in this space because we are going to be in this space and how we're going to be protected and i think we need to start to break these huge corporate sectors apart because they play such a crucial role in our democracies and when you have people like mark zuckerberg and eric smith believing that all the problems you know in the world are going to be solved by algorithms we are in a trap. not just facebook struggling with confidentiality issues and you opportunity to make the bitcoin digital currency more stable could mean a trade off over use a privacy mckellar for our society argo has details. one of bitcoins most valuable traits is its anonymity sure there is a ledger of transactions but you can determine who they belong to but now tech

giant amazon could be taking it all away courtesy a brand new amazon patent the idea is to create what's called a data marketplace who will take part well electronic and internet retailers for a start they could combine a shipping address with bitcoin transaction data then the telecom providers can subscribe to this data stream and correlated between ip addresses of the transaction to countries of origin but that's not all here come the governments government agencies may be able to subscribe downstream encourage latex transaction data to help identify transaction participants surely government and law enforcement agencies would like to subscribe to just such a data stream for example the police of america's national security agency the n.s.a. would use all that combined data to identify the final bit coin user governments

across the globe have been striving to ryan and on crypto currencies for quite a while now we want to make sure that. currencies are not used for bad and alyssa's science is more important because it's very important these new technologies don't lead to the appearance of anonymity that might favor the financing of criminal activity is. the position we defended together with the german finance minister is to regulate bitcoin said you know he could but i don't limits he is not the only crypto feature which is endangered by amazon's new patent crypto currencies are decentralized no central bank no trade market and no way to predict their dynamic now a data stream that alison is pushing for would create a sort of stock exchange for bitcoin that. would make the crypto market more predictable pinpoint bearish and bullish trends for example so who knows maybe

that's the good thing we might be getting here but well on it's you have to be sacrificed for that and it isn't the end of a crypto currency as we know it i think right now we are in. some mass message disruption and in fact i think just these disruption is driven by people questioning just large corporations based groups stealing personal mention and the real question is who owns these information whether information should be used by corporations for they were profits so will private enterprises out there but i do stuff will be information to have more segment to come a marketing program absolutely these monetary supply because he's not controlled by the government but it is controlled by the metformin but i do think them losing that immediately would be

a huge. huge loss but i don't think it will kill entire groups in terms of money. this is the international little has a checkered past quite literally because he is taking the chess world by storm and hopes to be the next generation of ground zero mostel in a world school championship which kicks off today in albania might well be his next big chance. or i just saw on the field. i was pleasantly surprised by me shot for a six year old his chest most of viacom thought he placed like an adult like

a mature chess player seems to suggest. it's a little. it's i suppose a lot of stuff. stuck on. a guy. so it's a. skill but for. the ones i. love more there. was. no air. hole problem his father came to me with his dogs they once told someone chess i started working with her and then one day he younger brother came along and his father left him with me for a while and mr reach for the chess pieces asked if he knew how to play and he said

he knew where to put the pieces i asked if he knew how to move them and showed him he learned quickly so i told his parents to like to teach him too and he soon never took his sister in his father. had been going to competitions with him since he was far away he's like a son to me of course i care about every student and i want him to attend good results. let me get into the top three in bring back a medal. they may be relics of the space race but they are still of huge interest to the you tube generation a group of which risked a rest by breaking into the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan to take a look into the past.

and good of you to show your friday with us here on r.t. international in precisely three minutes my colleague and your farm over here to bring you more of your top worldwide news and.

the way the system should work is that every stock bond security underwritten by wall street or any bank in america one percent should be carved out and put into social security so that americans whether they have. minimum wage workers or whether they're c.e.o.'s all across the spectrum everyone gets to participate in this thing called the american economy because if you don't own stocks are not part of the economy american. ella stein is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos him in bill fiddlesticks misted to do it like you know. this isn't my cup of tea is going up to study hall maybe you know chon without a doubt. the only palestinians who gets the most help from his to roost on counterparts i don't think there is an of those ruined under the oak vision to know

only because it isn't. and no it is a laugh at that he's got this lady of the most of the i know if you compete in the doesn't seem to do more among us lost them could result. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone else signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people of seeing stuff that was nukes or biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining

about illnesses from their exposure from the burn pits would really literally send a v.a. probe and they don't want to pay it so the waiting decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they won't have to pay and. call for help and get the middle finger of movies to model is. delayed and i hope it does. us president donald trump says he wants a marriage. troops to leave syria what are exactly washington's goals in syria a partition war. or a means to sticking it to a random russia. option. is this you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest read. truth to stand listens just the right

questions. the right answer. the. question. has more. videos purporting to show the aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in syria. places seen in the footage and speaks to eyewitnesses. of the infamous forty security group is reportedly being contacted by go fish to help create an arab force in syria replace u.s. troops with. facebook. the focus of banks from force new dates of protection.

can you watching r.t. international this friday afternoon which is gone two o'clock am in the russian capital now video footage that was seen around the world at the start of the month claim to show the aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in syria is now being called into question that same of a team from our sister channel visit to. discuss what they saw with you don. what we've seen so far from this place was and much mostly it's been a video released by the white helmet activist group you're looking at right now it's shot in the hospital and it's shows some truly heartbreaking pictures these scenes of chaos of panic confused children being hosed down with water everything pointing at a potential chemical attack but are to rob a crew managed to talk to a boy who was featured in this video of the white house mates and he gave his

account of events in that hospital have a listen to that had actually we were outside and they told all of us to go into the hospital i was immediately taken upstairs and they started pouring water on me do you remember where it happened to be here with a hose or is it. here it is. i. don't look towards water around me you put me here and then took me out serious to my mother where exactly ups's the second floor. of abstainers over there valley. sorry so the doctor started filming us here they were pouring water and taking videos and then my father came and found me someone had told him we were here so he came and took me away i luckily i didn't know she was being seen i went up stairs and saw my wife and children i was very

surprised and asked what had happened when my son's eyes were red and i found out that it was we'll see what it was he could have got sick he was undressed when i took my son the first told me that they still needed him but i still took him away from. the boy is clearly in shock still to have to go through something like this to go through such terror at his age is unthinkable really we've reached out to the white house westing in statement of some reaction to what's being what's being filmed in duma right now but we're still to hear back from them even as i understand there was other footage from the alleged senior of the attack was and yes indeed there was another video released by another activist and it is apparently from an apartment building where the actual chemical project tile the alleged chemical projectile landed this is the initial video that we're showing you right now and this is the project oh we our crew again managed to get inside this

very building so to the left you can see our video and to the right is the original one and initially how the media reacted to the first the released video well they saw it as rock solid evidence of a chemical attack the chemical weapon that killed dozens of civilians and astaire's that the asshead regime has previously used in chemical attacks the assad regime has used this same yellow gas canisters the nic telling fox news they have a high degree of confidence that it was yours apparently the project was still toxic was still fuming with the something toxic and that's why they had to wear a mask to protect themselves but we've spoken to a number of experts and they've told us that i mean a gas mask is basically not enough to protect. one cell from a toxic substance if that were a nerve agent whether he's got his base covered or not it's going to go right through his skin and the only protection that he could have is if this whole body

were in a chemical control suit if there were chlorine gas that would protect him from from some small leaking of the chlorine gas for a while and it doesn't make any any any sense i could see it going through a roof and never even breaking it's a silly way and even if it did great go the dispersal of the chlorine might only kill the people in the room or what not even people outside the room had time to get out now and international chemical watchdog is carrying out its investigation into my to we know what level of what stage they're at now in the investigation well the o.p.c. inspectors the fact finding mission they are in damascus but they so far have not been able to and to do much it's not safe u.n. security mission they went to the city of do much with the syrian army and they came under small arms fire so far it's not safe enough but this whole endeavor as some would be rendered well almost irrelevant i should say because the retaliation for the chemical for the chemical attack that's there's no confidence yet in the

fact that it even happened in the first place but the retaliation is already there the u.s. the u.k. and france launched more than one hundred missiles to strike targets they believe the assad government are using to produce chemicals right now the big intrigue is what the official investigation is to show whether or not the attack happened. but it's not just the white helmets videos that are raising questions the group's also come under fire from the pink floyd co-founder co-founder roger waters for trying to lobby his support in the syrian war some time ago the so-called syria campaign which is linked to the white helmet sent musician an e-mail inviting him to a fund raising dinner in the same message he was also encouraged to watch a documentary about the group however waters had his debts i was quite suspicious after i was invited to that white helmets dinner now my worst suspicions have been confirmed on the face of it it felt plausible that the white helmets were

just good people doing good things but now we know they're trying to encourage the west to drop bombs or missiles illegally in the syria and just last week the day before he was due to give a show in barcelona waters was contacted by a french journalist working for the white helmets the reporter asked for a few moments on stage to deliver a message to the children of syria forces though declined that request as well and instead hit out at the white helmet during the concert white now moves. both musician to dix's reading probably go through. this with this to the proper congress the point comments and others we would be encouraged to encourage our governments to grow and stop dropping bombs on syria. what we have contacted the white helmets for comment although so far we haven't received a reply in the meantime we've spoken to journalist and r.t. contributor max blumenthal he's the one that roger waters handed his emails to.

i've known roger waters for several several years and i reached out to him. after this incident in barcelona where he denounced the white house myths and he provided me with these e-mails. and he also gave me comments basically warning other celebrities not to sign on to the syria campaign's efforts to promote the white helmets so waters essentially had lost his patience and has decided to go public with this warning and i think he stands apart from a lot of other celebrities who don't do their research and who want to be affiliated with feel good humanitarian campaigns so you know i hope that this is that roger's broken the ice here but western media appears to be completely closed off to the facts about the white helmets and i'd wonder if other celebrities will continue to sign on. but a joint strike on syria led by the u.s.

came not long after president trump had been promising to put american troops out of the country however there are reports of a new arab force being assembled in the event of the u.s. but through will move against the it has more on that to leave or to stay it's a tough one. i want to get out i want to bring our troops back home i want to start rebuilding our nation we are in syria fight isis and that is our mission and the mission isn't over and we're going to complete that mission america says it wants out of syria but not before its goals are accomplished which could take a while and get real dirty what do you do well that's what friends are for we have asked our partners to take greater responsibility for securing their home region saudi arabia it seems has volunteered for the difficult task of

sending troops to sit on oil fields in eastern syria apparently saudi arabia has been volunteering pretty hard and pretty long we're in discussions with the us and have been since the beginning of the syrian crisis about sending forces into syria now here's the thing those arab troops would have to be trained the u.s. could do it but no off the what happened last time all the last times iraqi forces just showed no will to fight. they were not outnumbered by in fact they vastly outnumbered the opposing force and yet they failed to fight they withdrew from the site we have an issue with the will of the iraqis to fight i saw and defend themselves so if the pentagon doesn't want to get involved there.
