5:30 pm
city on tuesday two roma supporters are under arrest on suspicion of attempted murder i got more details earlier from marty's alexy irish asking. in twenty eighteen semifinal the champions league we're not talking about the brilliance of muhammad salo roberto filomena or even a late comeback from roma we're talking about football violence again that's a set of roma supporters attacked liverpool supporters outside of the field the stadium in liverpool allegedly carrying baton belts and even sledgehammers and now one fifty three year old irish man a fan of liverpool instead of celebrating a beautiful five to when he's in hospital fighting for his life in a critical condition the merseyside police in liverpool investigating this as an attempted murder and two men from rome twenty five and twenty six years of age have been arrested as for reaction obviously to clubs every should statements with. websites condemning this violence in the strongest terms possible your way for saying that it was deeply shocked by the violence outside of the stadium in liverpool which is bizarre because they should have just looked into the past and
5:31 pm
saw how six fans of liverpool were stabbed by roma fans in two thousand and one there have been other cases of violence perpetrated by this particular club fans and now i'm going to rome next week for the away leg does this kind of reaction we can sell me by no means and all this happens as we remember fifty days before the world cup every single day we're hearing stories about the russian who are against the threat of russian hooligans that english fans should not be traveling to the world cup because they will get in trouble with russian hooligans almost as if you know these newspapers in these writers do not acknowledge the fact that hooliganism is a universal problem and speaking of which we are running a documentary throughout the day on r.t. called football beasts and let's watch a clip of that. excitement .
5:32 pm
and. i. think i'm going to look at the way you mind if you're saying if you want to go for somebody. deliberately putting. your slug on the sort of honestly and in firm. policy from the start. the world's largest advanced economies want to get a better picture of russia the g. seven nations are planning to set up a special working group to study what they describe as moscow's malign behavior
5:33 pm
russia was top of the agenda at a gathering this week of the group's foreign ministers in canada jacqueline bouvier as the story. the g seven a club of some of the world's leading industrialized nations tackling the planet's biggest problems from financial crises to military conflicts but it's also the g. eight minus russia and it seems they just can't help talking about the member they kicked out russia was the focus of the g seven foreign and security ministers meetings in toronto the g seven foreign ministers are calling attention to so-called malign behavior by russia but are expected to look at ways to keep pressure on russia without imposing new sanctions for two days g. seven foreign and security ministers rub shoulders in toronto at an event with the tagline building a more peaceful and secure world and apparently for that to happen first and foremost russia needs to be put in its place then things like war and world hunger can be addressed just like last year and the year before that and so on because you see in ukraine and russia's actions all of the very reason for the g seven brussels
5:34 pm
summit this is now the second year in a row that the g. seven has met without russia another example of russia's isolation ukraine is the victim of russian aggression we must never forget that fact if i think about the position of you to know he's you know he's talked so far is the repeat of russia now this time around it included a whole laundry list of russia issues condemn russia's irresponsible and destabilizing behavior check demand such alleged actions cease immediately check agree that it is highly likely moscow poisoned sergei screwball and his daughter and that there's just no plausible alternative check and the acting u.s. secretary of state went to far as to tell reporters that russia has to be a quote constructive partner in syria or be held accountable so to be fair they did manage to cover a lot of ground it just more often than not happened to be russia related let's just hope they can avoid getting too carried away with their plans. what we decided
5:35 pm
was that we were going to set up a jew servant group that would look at russian malign behavior in all this money frustrations whether it cyber war whether it's this information assassination attempts whatever it happens to be and collectively try and call it out and the hostile it may not have reached its peak either this meeting was perhaps just a preview of what we can expect when the leaders of the g. seven countries come together in june to tackle the russian mess. a photo journalist from gaza has died of a bullet wound he sustained well documented the demonstration close to the israeli border earlier this month twenty five year old ahmed abu hussein was shot in the stomach by an israeli defense forces sniper he's the second journalist to have been killed while covering the ongoing great march of return protest campaign same was reportedly working at a permissible distance from the border fence when he was hit the i.d.f. claim that it doesn't intentionally target journalists and investigates deaths in such circumstances however there's been
5:36 pm
a global backlash over the israeli military's brutal suppression of the rallies and girls are since the end of march its soldiers have killed forty palestinians including four children during that period. who do you think germans think is the bigger threat to russia or the united states there's been a major survey and i'll tell you the results of it after the break. that's. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to preserve.
5:37 pm
it's a going to be press that's what before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my calls. 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 or the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the super manager killian erroneous and spending to get a twenty million album fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy like great so what more chance for. that makes this minute.
5:38 pm
welcome back as the syrian military works to secure complete control of the battle scarred city of douma kilometers of rebel built tunnels have been discovered i'll tell you has exclusive images of the vast subterranean network that help to sustain the islamist insurgents. still while they starve this they harass terrorists they moved around in our blood as you see these tunnels are massive then they kept his work on them as well as civilians and they wouldn't feed those he refused to work and you can see how big they are and how much they have in there is like a city beneath a city was the. product we would be taken to
5:39 pm
the spot where the fighting with the and they would give us a mad fifteen minutes before it started they showed us how to act and whom to shoot the guy he told us what to do you would then disappear after that it all depended on luck before the fighting they used to tell. about you had these martyrs of jihad and about heroic death on the battlefield but other times they treated us like dogs . separately the russian defense ministry has displayed missile fragments recovered from syria they need a malfunction the old failed to reach their targets part of the launched by america the u.k. and france this month more details from nic here. well as you know we've been bombarded with two different versions of events of those strikes that hit syria in mid april and today the russian defense ministry really upped the ante by providing some actual tangible evidence of those missiles that it says were either
5:40 pm
intercepted or simply malfunctioned and this is going to be an embarrassing development for the u.s. side which had lauded the success of those one hundred five as strikes which it said was were precise and overwhelming also dismissing any suggestions by russia that any of those missiles have been intercepted also insisting that the syrian air defense capabilities had been largely ineffective with their syrian missiles merely being fired into open air take a listen with way over one hundred missiles they didn't shoot one down the equipment didn't work too well their equipment. they didn't shoot one you know you heard all the show forty and then they showed fifty and there were. no sure every single one hit its target so i think we can be quite confident and say that the u.s. side is not going to let this lie or probably already crafting a response e-mail or response statement should i say as we speak the russian defense ministry also went into detail earlier about the targets of those one
5:41 pm
hundred five missiles twenty two only twenty two of those one hundred five missiles actually hit their intended targets and this being revealed at that site they actually hit civilian objects rather than the alleged chemical supplies the u.s. has been so persistent upon take a listen just to. some of the missiles don't reach the targets apparently due to malfunctions the real threat to civilians there in civilian buildings at the same time the logic of the u.s. u.k. and france in choosing the targets is unclear you see there were stockpiles of toxic agents there if they were hit by cruise missiles this could lead to widespread poisoning and if it was for damascus itself tens of thousands of people could have died so this. latest development is probably going to deal or blow to the us presidency ego as well he had boasted as so optimistically about the performance of his missiles and after those strikes even still his popularity on
5:42 pm
the upturn with his approval rating jumping a few percentage points so this turnabout is not something we could expect him to let lie. nationwide opinion poll in germany suggests that the majority of people there see donald trump's america as a greater threat than russia on the survey comes just days ahead of chancellor merkel visit to washington here's our berlin correspondent peter oliver. when i google or merkel meets on friday with donald trump in washington one of the aims for the chancellor will be to show the president how sanctions against russia are impacting business in her country the german government will point out where the interests of german companies have been affected and make it clear where there are concerns and where we see undesirable consequences it's estimated forty percent of western losses since sanctions were imposed on moscow power being german and industry starting to ring the alarm bell the german economy's facing damage in the short term to the extent of more than one hundred million euros and in the long
5:43 pm
term projects its value is several billion euros may be threatened it's not just about bottom lines and balance sheets for uncle merkel though public opinion at home is also a big factor when you look at a recent poll that shows that a significant chunk of germans view the united states as the biggest threat to world security not russia the vast majority of those polled said that they weren't scared of russia while almost half of the said that they blamed the current tensions between the west and russia on the united states with only a quarter saying that moscow was responsible for the current impasse while almost eighty percent said that they felt that donald trump was a bigger threat to global security than vladimir putin armed with portraits of the two leaders i set out onto the streets of berlin to ask people who they thought was the most dangerous trump or. both of them are unpredictable but trump is even less
5:44 pm
predictable and he does not represent western political goals i don't know what he represents except himself. i would see her one day. you could ask is yellow crime and so you know i really liked it. enough while you're here to sort of do you know what to do with them. really i see trump because he's unpredictable putting has been in politics for many many years so i think he has to do with a more stable force that i think donald trump is way more unpredictable and that's quite interesting especially with in the north korea east. they would do creative environment as looks to maintain pressure on moscow she may well find herself under scrutiny at home over just how willing she years to risk damage to german business in order to keep the pressure on peter all of r.t.
5:45 pm
. to the top of the world in seven days a team of women from europe in the middle east have completed a weeklong skiing expedition to the north pole their journey was sponsored by the global cyber security company kaspersky lab as part of a campaign to empower women are to accompany the team on their quest. to gives those girls i know say the team a platform from which to share their story and that's the really powerful thing about this expedition is that we're going to share all story and hopefully inspire little small girls and boys men and women to go on and never reach beyond the expectation of others. but i could i would
5:46 pm
quickly i believe i'm the first kuwaiti to ski to the north pole but i certainly don't want to be the last this is the goal for a better state a message to all women everything is possible if we are ready to put enough effort if we're really willing to reach the goals. this is the second the borders they conquered the north pole even the twice they reached at the first side set up camp that road to the foot at night the ice flame outta my way so when we came to pick them up they were five kilometers away from the north pole and we took them back. impressively intrepid stuff fried that should
5:47 pm
news for now thanks very much for watching of the altie ups and you can get news and notes twenty four seven i'll be back here though in just over half an hour with your next global news update. all. when lawmakers manufactured him sentenced him to public wealth. when the room in closest to protect themselves. when the finance larry go around to listen to the one percent told. us to ignore middle of the room six. million more you mean.
5:48 pm
i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten like our time stamping each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you long for the old bridge eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and decline rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is what one does so you can afford to miss the one and only.
5:49 pm
greetings and sal you take shit. hold on the ear buds talk watchers because i'm about to spin you would tale of government and media collusion that should make your hair turn white with rage and stomach turn upset with discussed this week the world discovered that the much vaunted british broadcasting company or b b c has been the house so we say less than upfront about their hiring practices yes the b.b.c. has finally officially admitted that m i five the united kingdom's domestic counter intelligence and security agency played a major role in politically vetting b.b.c. job applicants from get this the mid nineteen thirties until the nineteen nineties but that one sink in a minute a highly secret intelligence agency was deciding who was allowed to report edit the news and work for the united kingdom's oldest and biggest public service broadcaster for more than sixty years. and they call our t.v.
5:50 pm
state controlled propaganda and just what terrible no good things was m i five looking for that would have won you a big red stamp of rejection on your job application well paul reynolds who was a b.b.c. correspondent from one nine hundred seventy eight to two thousand and eleven writes that one thousand nine hundred eighty four memo yes one thousand eight hundred four memo lays out the undesirable list on the left there were the communist party of great britain the socialist workers party the workers revolutionary party and the militant tendency but the right was alone on the right the national front and the british national party these were all things gets you rejected needless to say on my fives and b.b.c.'s collusion on hiring practices has not gone over too well with reporters who were who were rejected by b.b.c. during that time including journalist isabel hilton who stated quote i felt that the b.b.c. had betrayed public trust by promoting a system in the u.k.
5:51 pm
by which the secret police were licensing and blacklisting journalists whenever i hear the b.b.c. boasting about its fine traditions of journalism i feel a minor stab of outrage. as should we all because when asked if m i five was still vetting potential employees today the b.b.c. simply stated we do not comment on security issues think on that one as we start watching the hawks. what. it looks like. it's like. the bottom. like you that i got. with. this. week so. welcome aboard watching the harks i am tired robot and i'm
5:52 pm
tired of the last while i'm not really a rapidly and they're not i was surprised about oh really i'm not really i mean i i guess i would find it strange that they'd if they hadn't really to tell you the truth i mean i just as much as we know about you know how the b.b.c. and other state funded outlets were used during the sixty's that continues to essentially go after people are put in false stories to push agendas and anti-communist sentiment all that sort of thing i'm not entirely surprised it's not entirely so what did you think i wish i was maybe i'm just too jaded after all but i know you are they have spies check you have ever three years of all of the you know everything you know when i was do you think that this hurts b.b.c. is credibility though because it was kind of from what i understand like the you know secret secret like everybody kind of in the loop knew this was happening but
5:53 pm
you know but they'd never officially say yes m i five is a betting piece is the person who is clearly a reporter. but how much does this hurt their credibility that's the biggest question well it's been they've been lying about this for years they've lied to. you know generations now of people both i think it hurts their credibility with the same people already knew what their credibility was at this point in the group i don't think there's a huge i mean they do what they do they're very clear about it and part of their budget isn't coming from the arts wing of the u.k. government it's coming from a defense work of the u.k. government so that's not i mean i first of all i think of the f.s.b. with clearing employees there at r.t. i probably wouldn't be here but that's the thing i mean look i think we're all right so you can safely say the of those b. is not clearing our contract where we submit an application to come work here there's be a bag of roses there go this person this is a it's a you know devout i'm tired of such and such that we don't. like to let anyone in.
5:54 pm
so you very very opposite i do think it's wrong to the list of people it's this idea of democratic socialism socialism all of this we're all going back to that mccarthyism should have been left right where it was and well in the one nine hundred thirty to ninety ninety that there's a huge part of the thing is like there is this vote so there's likely you know levels i guess how concerning and radical you are as a reporter earlier so there were three categories a b. and c. which were the three categories that one would find themselves at if they or if they only member or a close friend any sort of person was was found to have associated with communists or as they call hard core nationalists so apparently either end of the spectrum you're completely dangerous the category a stated that the security service advises that they can begin should not be employed in the post offering direct opportunity to influence broadcast material
5:55 pm
for the subversive purpose so that security number one they're going to right away yes category b. the security service service advisor this would be i might have said advises that the candidate should not be employed in a post. offering direct opportunity to influence broadcast material. advice against employment unless they've decided that other conditions are overriding that they need that person more they need to worry about their thirtieth leaving the new guy or they're going to the risk category c. which essentially said that might be ok but the b.b.c. may be perfervid to make other arrangements if the post offered x. . eighty four subversive action this kind of makes me laugh because this whole idea of subversive you know we have free speech winfrey's reach here you have a certain amount of free speech over there people would be concerned about it but i'm pretty sure the idea of spreading democracy around the world as we all get free speech so why do you u.k. why do you keep journalists have to fit into this teeny little mole but they won't
5:56 pm
say anything out of line nothing for the birth of first strangers socialist super writers super left we can get out of it well you know how was that it was that in the most bizarre broadcast material you're editorial so much better but what are you giving to the to the public when you are purposely silencing voices because they might rock the boat and in the most bizarre twist of all this apparently according to reynolds who wrote this article for the b.b.c. which is wild bizarre already but he discovered that my five actually lost interest in this at a certain point you know and like things are kind of communism is falling and like all done over the years the b.b.c. was the ones who pushed it and were still enthusiastic about all of this and they were actually saying no we don't need to scale back we need to continue reading and like they said we don't know if they're still betting or not to discuss about security issues so. in march of this year the center for american progress the policy research and advocacy organization for the democratic party establishment
5:57 pm
released a report that outlined the ways in which creating a fair process to combat sexual harassment is essential to women's progress noting that when any part of the process for kids. during sexual harassment claims is flawed it undermines the credibility of and trust in the process overall and according to documents obtained by buzz feed news the center for american progress needs to take its own advice on the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace allegedly junior staffer quit due to sexual harassment and then retaliation for reporting it creating a hostile work environment that many confirmed to buzz feed was simply part of the culture their management was accused of failing to promptly take action on numerous complaints not making a process available to staff or complaints and for failing to take reasonable steps to prevent incidences of sexual harassment in the workplace and the words of one of the accusers quote i surely expected better out of an organization the housing national campaign on sexual assault. nine hundred former employees confirm the
5:58 pm
story and the center's lack of concern for the issue one suggesting that it's just a set of sexual harassment training they can hold up a brown bag lunch with the staff and human resources they can get to know each other better the center also claim that one of the queues harassers been strong only had two complaints against them and was punished with three days paid time off so are these so-called democratic progressive institutions truly looking out for the young women of this nation or are women once again being sidelined by the veneer of progress that it is politics as usual it's i see the writing on the wall begins with the major and with the see it's called hypocrisy oh it's not one. and you know you know why this decision was made you know why they swept this other cover they will never admit it but anyone you know giving it a reasonable amount of look will you know why is because this upsets the apple cart should look bad we can't look bad. it will. be hard core progressive liberal
5:59 pm
organization we can't we can't practice sex or as women we don't do that thing we fight against that's a republican issue no democrat men especially they are all good and seven s. and we should never have anything differently this is all come. from of those low or big ones. just so you know the center for american progress often called it was founded in two thousand and three by a name we all might know at least we've read his e-mails john put us great and yes he was. good yeah he was you know he basically want to create this sort of rate of progress to be like a left leaning alter alternative to like the heritage foundation are right you know basically that was that the but everything going to go downhill yes you know part of this is so a lot of it comes out of one of the one who was named in the article which was the largest of the most notable. situation with
6:00 pm
a gentleman named benton strong who some people might recognize is well known of progressive politics when the b.p. oil disaster happened actually went on m.s.m. b c we should get a picture of a man like him dressing up as an oil barrel at one point to try to like so he said he's always been out there on progressive causes you will remember him maybe most recently before or after leaving the center for american progress in august of two thousand and sixteen he went on to be the comes directly for seattle mayor ed murray the same ed murray by the way who as of the end of twenty seventeen and for a movie accused of sexual abuse and assault by at least five people including the child of a family friend so he. definitely hangs out with good people good composer while he was at the center for american progress. he is accused of sending lewd inappropriate text messages numerous female colleagues a story that was confirmed by at least five other employees and one of the men.
