like citizen is a catch all term for a loosely affiliated bunch who claim that the federal republic of germany is illegitimate and say that the pre-war constitution remains in effect that's the same system that allowed adult hitler to take power well today's reich citizen groups come in several shapes and sizes but almost all of them have some link to why the neo nazi groups of far right ideology. the historical revisionism forms an ideological link that connects various right wing extremist currents and right wing extremists among right citizens use those connections to cause confusion to provoke authorities and to create a social platform for right wing ideology it's estimated that there's around eighteen thousand of these right citizens in germany and some are allegedly preparing for a day when they'll rise up and take their country back but these aren't just hollow empty threats eighteen months ago a policeman in bavaria was killed during

a shootout between officers and a member of one of the sorites citizens' groups the number of these people is significantly significantly increased acts of violence. a public official still eastland has increased in number if the numbers go on to increase if these fever really used in british muslims else for a tosing in resisting public will so reduced then indeed it's a challenge for the state opposition politicians have accused the government of trying to sweep the extent of germany's problem with far right violence under the rug first the federal government explains the right wing terrorist groups can form spontaneously and have a strong digital network but then many of their actions are not counted as right wing terror offenses the impression is that the federal government consciously accepts blind spots in the recent past berlin hasn't pulled away you for.

publishing intelligence findings that showed as many as seven hundred radical islamists could be in the country and a capable of preparing a terrorist attack but it does seem that they're less forthcoming we're not threat potentially posed from elsewhere we now are facing the end of less being intellectual dominance and culture into legally gemini and under this umbrella of growth writing populism of course writing the radicals right wing extremists. protected the german statist direct to their all the power and strength it has germany has very strict gun control laws thankfully gun deaths are rare occurrence here but perhaps one way to keep it that way would be to not allow people who the government considers a threat to the public to have access to firearms piece for all of our r.t. believe. although the threat posed by right wing extremists in germany is reportedly increasing the government say the overall threat level from the group

remains relatively low. but after eighteen years don't be evil is seemingly no longer part of google's main philosophy the slogan has been removed from its code of conduct but the changes were only noticed a month later this comes amid outrage in the company over its involvement in a u.s. military program artie's dong quarter takes a closer look. don't be evil a rule you'd think most people might try to live by right the folks at google certainly thought so for the first eighteen years. don't be evil google is generally apply these words to how we serve our users but don't be evil is much more than that until that is they quietly removed probably the most famous phrase in their corporate philosophy and now it's a bit more vague striving for the highest standards of ethical business conduct and we all know how ethical business can be here's one example of google's

interpretation it signed a pentagon contract in march to help the department of defense create artificial intelligence tools for drones to attack and identify ground targets all without human operators being involved me project maven the technology is helping human intelligence analysts again if i objects on video feeds from drones you know it's kind of like a facebook photo when you upload a photo and it is facebook able to identify which of your friends are in that photo project made in the same thing google staff and ai academics were shocked with thousands signing a petition protesting the firm's militarisation. we believe that google should not be in the business of war therefore we ask that project may even be cancelled and that google enforced a clear policy sitting that neither google nor is contractors will every build were feared technology google's not the only tech to get a pentagon paycheck i.b.m.

and the computer graphics firm nvidia are just two which have worked on military projects still google balsa see nothing out of the ordinary with project maven. we have long worked with government agencies to provide technology solutions the specific project is a pilot with the department of defense the technology flags images for human review and is for non-offensive uses only google claims that. ai won't be used to kill but it doesn't workers who resigned over the contract aren't convinced the ethical question now is whether it's the weapon or the brains behind it which does the killing don't be evil i always thought that it really meant don't be evil yet because of course as google becomes a very powerful corporation one of the most artful in the world and plays such an important role in the development of new technology inevitably they're going to be drawn into some very big and evil things like war like autonomous weapons and

there's a lot of pressure on the high technology sector in the us right now to contribute to the military. and i think that many of the google employees don't agree with that and it's interesting to see that struggle be playing out we go to comment on the changes and we'll update you if and when we get every spots. friend zero five he was popularity nosedives with arab youngsters in the middle east i'll bring you the details after the soap break. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over twenty trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crime sampling each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be alter bridge eight point six percent

market so thirty percent minus one of your somewhat four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and that one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a our industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember it was one show you know for him it was one and only two but. we've all gotten used to it the media hates trump and the president returns the favor in kind o. is this mutually charged hate fest changed media and journalism does the corporate liberal media report the news anymore and is journal a big profession in the service of partisanship. welcome back u.s.

army general joseph of the us house says america will now shift its focus in syria to stabilizing the region and monitoring dangerous pockets that are left despite president trump saying this month that the u.s. would be pulling its troops out of syria very soon well the u.s. decides whether or not to stay in the region a survey of arab youngsters in the middle east suggests the majority view the u.s. as an adverse story it also concludes that russia has cemented his position as the top arab ally more ghastly of looks at how america's strategy has failed to win hearts and minds. you can see why trump wanted a new middle east strategy the old one wasn't working allies unhappy people aren't waving american flags forecasts failed remember for instance when they proclaim that syria would be russia's end a new of kind of star russia will continue to. send troops home.

in body bags these are hard lessons that the soviet union had to learn in afghanistan you have to dig back into ancient history to see how this is going to play out for the russians turned out it wasn't it was killing jihad ists and terrorists isis al-qaeda and all flavors they're of pointing case take this poll every year it does six arab youths who their biggest allies are in two thousand and fifteen america was voted second friendliest country by arab youth now it's eleven russia is fourth despite or perhaps because of its intervention in syria but that's youth what about the older folks is an ally obviously a strong partner certainly with respect and a friend a nato ally and a friend of the united states in a very turbulent part of the world. of america i told you many times you are either

with us or all of these terrorist organizations are disaster the united states is barely on speaking terms with a nato ally turkey they're withholding weapons there are syrian kurds the white b.g. who a turkey's sworn enemies this friendship is dying and turkey thinks it can unite and need the muslim world especially after trump stunt with moving his embassy to jerusalem that robida almost everyone the wrong way condemn the u.s. decision on jerusalem because of its great bias against the historical and permanent rights of the palestinian people see the united states the solution to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel is a dangerous one it will threaten security and stability and frustrates efforts to resume the peace process with strong. bleeding allies moscow is making inroads with

ankara now turkey russia and iran gather regularly on syria and trump isn't being invited but they at least friends still buy american guns right we signed historic agreements with the kingdom this landmark agreement includes the announcement of a one hundred ten billion dollars saudi funded defense purchase. and we will be sure to help our story friends to get a good deal from our great american defense company that was trump boasting before saudi arabia saudi arabia america's chief ally in the middle east declared that it is buying russian s. four hundred missiles which turkey is also doing that's a new low for us policy and things aren't looking up. you can bet there are no one

filled russian basser ships in countries that matter to moscow as doris day almost unbelievably they can american posts egypt jordan libya could tar saudi arabia syria turkey and of course iran where we have no embassy america's policy has been simple divide red versus blue sheer versus sunni friends versus enemies problem is the world isn't black and white there are agree greens browns and purples which washington needs to recognize to talking here about states or a region that has been heavily dependent on the united states in pretty much everything defense economy cars technology everything and now people are thinking you know this is not reliable anymore this is not an ally anymore this is

becoming more of an adverse or definitely a shift or the huge shift in retore between the obama administration and the trumpet ministration has played a role to agitate people but we need to understand that the policy that hasn't been much change. thousands of people taking part in america's immigrant investor program have been left without money and visas mired in red tape the e.p. five program was created in the ninety's it enabled wealthy immigrants to become permanent residents of the u.s. by investing in business is there here's how it works. resurveyed the steel heart of the capitalist world and locomotive of the free market about a million people a year try to reach the land of the free there's even the annual green card lottery to boost the diversity of visa winners whether you're a scientist engineer or a political refugee everyone gets an equal chance to make it or do they there's one type of visa that's been spawning

a ton of controversy lately the five it came about in one nine hundred ninety and meant that you could get residency if you invested at least a million dollars and employed at least ten americans in u.s. based jobs if you chose a high unemployment area you only need part with half a million although that sounds like something donald trump supporters could get behind some of the investors themselves are losing out and going nowhere thousands and thousands sign up and pay up the monies then shunted around various funds jobs are created in the money's paid back with interest the thing is only ten thousand to five residency visas are given out per year it's not vital point to get buried in the t. and cs because their money is pulled with many others they won't see a cent of it back until everyone in the pod gets of these or the unwitting foreign investors have provided a gold rush for unlicensed brokers and potentially shady business practices including a firm controlled by donald trump's son in law which now has regulators all over it eager investors are still likely to leap in but the backlog to actually get that

residency b.'s are currently means of weight of over ten years so if you're waiting for your t.v. five green card hang in there just don't make too many plans for the next decade most of the investors on the program are from china but numbers have reduced a rapidly over the last two years people from other countries are also being affected as quotas are reached law professor douglas leiserowitz thinks the issue could even hit u.s. china relations. now what happens is the way that the documents are created the chinese cannot get their money back they can not get repaid or interests until they everyone in their group has been approved for permanent residence which can take over ten years so the money stays in america and it just spins there away from the chinese astride it so many levels at the level of the immigration lawyers that are going over to china and assuring these people that they can get them temporary

citizenship at the level of the regional centers which are going over and putting on these big shows at the level of the chinese finders were placing these securities with chinese people there are a lot of angry chinese and one has to wonder if that's good for us china relations you can have your say on all of our stories by following us on social media we'll be back with the latest at the top of the hour see you than. one else seems wrong why don't we just don't call. me world yet to see proud display come out of. an endangered equals betrayal.

when somebody find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. in some american cities the police have built themselves cling to refutation of people who walk on the streets of the united states who are at risk from the very people who are supposed to protect that were people are no more afraid of the police than of those. who can see something happening and this is like i don't want to call the cops. rather than call the cops and those young men lose their lives chasing the with the team goes on the trigger

you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else is going to die so yeah unfortunately around around here we end up on our guns on the dance told from such but cool shoes place to. go and welcome to crossfire where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle we've all gotten used to it the media hate trump and the president returns the favoring kind how is this mutually charged hate fest changed media and journalism does the corporate liberal media report the news anymore and is journalism today a fake profession in the service of partisanship.

cross talking media wars i'm joined by my guest rob taub in new york he is a political pundit and journalist contributing to the huffington post also in new york we have lionel he is a legal analyst and news decoder at lionel media dot com and in los angeles very early in the morning we have ron paul he is a comedian a frequent guest on the jimmy doors show and the young turn. as well as host of his own streaming show get your news on with ron i love how that rubs origin across the grooves and if that can jump in anytime you want i always appreciated let me go to you first in new york just very broadly speaking how is the media changed in the age of trump because in the age of trump trump doesn't change it seems go ahead lionel in new york ok first of all let's talk about news media versus the media here's how it's changed we often use the term mainstream media to define people

like a.b.c. n.b.c. and m s d n c and fake news c.n.n. that's not mainstream anymore what's mainstream is this what's mainstream right now is podcast again you tube and other platforms that is dead that is a star that burned out millions of years ago yet the light still hits us so when we say mainstream the first thing that happened was the recalibration of the term mainstream because what's old is doing what's new is now old that's a very good point but the problem is that the legacy media still have a huge impact on the population i would say because people believe in the conspiracies that a lot of the former i'm going to go with your terminology former mainstream media peddle ron reflected on that in no way yeah you know i i agree with lionel said i think the term mainstream media is something we have to try to shy away from i like to simply say corporate media all the time because definitional and that's what it is it is a corporate media own by very high for profit entities but as far

as did the media. in the trump era i would say that corporate media that we're referring to has not changed in the trump era i think it's the same formula that they've been going by for a long time now they like hyper partisanship one way or the other they like sensationalism they like to have a little fun soundbites and take bits to to inflate. for as long as they can and trump gives them plenty of those you know michelle wolf at the white house correspondents' dinner nailed it she said you guys love trump just didn't made it because he's giving them what they want and that's kind of all they care about and as far as news and information in our country not only is it a huge disservice yet but as lionel pointed out it is a sinking titanic well ok we use that logic there robin i just want a quick diversion here than the entire foreign policy elite in the united states much love lot of me or putin keeps the good work ok then flowers and champaign at

the end of the year but rob if we agree with lionel said in just that in los angeles but there is one thing that is changing is that their ratings or plummeting in this is maybe the only thing that about this old legacy media that's really true and on top of it they want their revenge ok you have like facebook teaming up with the atlantic council they want to claw it back and it's going to get nasty people are being to monetize people being shunned and throttled ok so the old the old media is up to the same habits of trying to control the media space go ahead rob in new york. well we have to realize that media is a is evolving i'll tell you one thing that hasn't changed my father was a newspaper man i grew up in and around the business i remember as a youngster that there was a conservative advertisement against the new york times with a picture of fidel castro they put on a bus that said i got my job through the new york times still makes me laugh out

loud so things haven't changed that much but another thing that has changed a monster i worked on and off for time incorporated since nineteen eighty three and for one period for fifteen years straight there was a publishing behemoth a colossus that no longer even exists in the name was literally pulled off the building and there was no time publication in the time and life building i don't even know if they call the time unlike the like so the media is evolving in ways that i don't think we can even predict lytle may have a word for it which i'm going to need this authorise afterwards unless we get a translator but it's happening at a pace that that i may not see in my lifetime i don't want to make a prediction do i like words going you know can i stop it no is it just part of change unfortunately yes hopefully some one day it will be for the better lionel jump in go ahead peter let me give an example this past week in new york or we just

had the up front this is an annual event where everybody used to be it used to be the biggest thing there was this is what all the stars came into town and spoke to the advertisers and the affiliates and it was like number of the many academy awards it is now shrunk it is now minimized to nothing let me tell you what my day is every day we normally look at my wife and i look at our our kind of media e-mails and what you will see is he was he for example c.b.s. which has a show at night and the biggest p.r. arm that will spread through social media the idea that last night. it was this monumental event where cold air or whoever trashed or attacked the president we live now in a click bait economy let me tell you what also happened recently rosanne rosanna completely changed things because bob iger who is very very smart realizes that he owes of a new sherry duty to his shareholders and what america wants believe it or not and this will kill the mainstream or lame stream or ted baxter media what they don't

understand is that the american actual viewer is not somebody in the left wing right wing bubble or swamp it's somebody who recognizes the value of let's say a rose and another's so while they don't realize is that i'm telling you again they think that they live in the world of rachel maddow that c.n.n. that that people reflect their ideas it's not true it's the opposite ok but ron i mean you do have a prevalence where you know we can always talk about the exception of fox when it comes to cable and they certainly make money off of their click bait but they're not practicing journalism anymore and i mean we can talk about the the the infrastructure the business model but the profession itself i mean i watch the cable news because i have to because for my job but i don't see journalism being practiced at all i mean and on top of it people expressing opinions without really much knowledge i mean it's kind of

a lot of dumb people saying dumb things that are very cliche and some of these issues are really very important go ahead ron well you know what peter this is a this is an odd double edged sword for me because the corporate media in the united states does bother me however if they ever got significantly better i might be out of a job sure i get to exist i get to exist in that capacity that i do because they they are failing so hard but i do see journalism practiced however the practices i see are often the. negative types of practices the employing propaganda techniques word associations and stuff like that recently on the show were for the jimmy door show c.n.n. smeared us and then used a very very typical propaganda technique and the smear they associated us with other with other types of outlets that were that it was not in accurate association

at all but they did that it's an intentional thing when you do that it's a certain type of grouping and of course it's a wide wide net so is there some are there some diamonds in the rough shore you know you've got to look for it it's not on page one quote unquote you've got to dig for it but it is there but as a whole they're not talking about the things that reflect with the average americans at all i mean there's harvard studies dedicated that stuff where they spend about seventy five percent of the time talking about russia or something like that that's an important issue to about six percent of the population six percent so there are it's kind of they're all done to the point and they're on the east coast ok that's it and that's in washington d.c. here you know let me go let me go to rob here i mean i think all of you are familiar with i certainly know my audience is jordan peterson i think is a very interesting case where i've seen cable news it was n.b.c.

and then the new york times i mean what how much it jobs they do again you can disagree with his approach and in some of the things he has to say i very much appreciate what he's doing and but the again we're going to have to employ the lionel terminology here the old mainstream move put it that way legacy media they really just go after that guy and n.b.c. and the new york times i have i have this strong feeling they never watched one of his videos ok. seriously but i mean that i'm getting into this ideological bend here i mean because someone like jordan peterson is really going against the current that's in the new or the old mainstream media and they really go after him i don't know if you know what i'm talking about go ahead rob. well one of the things that that i find really questionable with even a big paper like the new york times is and i look at this is probably budgetary of a budgetary problem is do they have the money to do fact checking anymore are they

not care i've written to the times about some eroni of stories that they've had where it just seems to me nobody does do diligence anymore when i wrote from time incorporated for the various books if i were when i wrote something i had an editor researcher calling me asking me ok tell me what you have in your notes and if it wasn't sufficient it wasn't going in the story and now we seem to write more about our feelings than we do about our facts ok i mean and certainly on television couldn't i think it would get an issue let me go to line allow last forty seconds a lot of journalists local journalists write about their mistakes later ok go ahead lionel forty seconds before we go to the break a perfect example of this recently there was a study about the president allegedly calling allegedly calling immigrants or dreamers animals when in fact he referred to m s thirteen now because the media the media today this is archaic ossified media is a runaway train that you have to feed constantly by virtue of the fact that you can

correct yourself that breaking news can be corrected they jumped with this idea that he referred to immigrants as being animals now before anybody knew it it was immediately repeated replicated and then later on with the idea that we can correct it later on when you had a deadline when somebody had to yell stop the presses it meant something in this rob says there is no fact testing. ok if it was a p.d. a.p. was the first to admit that they had been a mistake gentlemen i'm going to go to a break here after that short break we'll continue our discussion on media we're staying with our team. for all world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question by the way who's going to be our coach.
