7:30 pm
wise it's the details of the emails really duraid her campaign somewhat that's not back in focus. yeah i think i actually think that i would encourage your russian viewers there's something called the f.b.i. vault if you google hillary or clinton you will find a twenty three part set of documents is of over six thousand pages of documents and it proves beyond doubt that hillary clinton herself was under an active f.b.i. investigation that began on july tenth two thousand and fifteen. before the primaries even started and if anybody may have been colluding with russian interests more likely it was john podesta and his group and others in the clinton array of cronies who have long had dealings over in russia with various and sundry chronic apple is so you know this is really the notion that donald trump is the one colluding with russia is preposterous in my mind on the other hand there was an aft
7:31 pm
active f.b.i. investigation you could see it for yourselves around the world you can go to the site you can see what i'm talking about it specifically lays it out hillary herself was under investigation but it will unless charles or tell charles for thanks for taking the time so quickly after this has been breaking to come on the program and explain to us some of the details of the story charles thanks. british police believe they have fun the source of the nerve agent that killed a woman in the time of amesbury left her partner in a critical condition they say a bottle was retrieved from the house of the survivor and not it was at the nearby military laboratory porton down scientists there have concluded that the substance it contained was novacek the same poisoned used against the russian double agent and his daughter back in march but police are investigating whether there is any link between the two incidents authorities previously said that they do not believe
7:32 pm
the lead has to be done by this substance were deliberately targeted the area in a run the house where the novacek was find is still cordoned off officials say there is not believed to be any wider threat to the public. well just stay with that story a bit longer than this of the nerve agent in the russian indictment case came donald trump was on his working visit to the u.k. earlier the u.s. president was having tea with the queen windsor castle before the trump met with british prime minister transit may for talks the leadership put on a united front when they met the media dispelling rumors that the country special relationship was under threat. give relationship terms of grade the highest level of special yesterday had breakfast lunch and dinner with there is really something very special not an excellent discussion here there was something
7:33 pm
something very special this incredible woman right here she is a very smart very tough very capable person the broadest deep base to most advance security cooperation special relationship i think prime minister made for her partnership have a lot of respect for the prime minister special relationship long tradition of friendship collaboration and i think she's a terrific woman i think she's doing a terrific job. well the two were pains to point to much agreed on security so breaks in among them the spotlight earlier newspaper reports that donald trump was not happy with the premier's plan saying they risk leaving britain behind in any trade deal then call the interview fake news tried to rally. pressure trees and praising her leadership on saying he'd rather have her as a friend on an enemy he also. knew for what he called horrible fur trade
7:34 pm
deal threaten more retaliate if brussels doesn't pitch fielding a raft of questions treason may reaffirm the extent to which she plans to disentangle britain from the e.u. hopes that it could bode well for a future in u.s. trade deal largely agreed but would not commit saying whatever mrs may plans is fine by him but could affect any trade deal with the u.s. . or with trump onto the next leg of his trip the protests against his base that have been swelling in london organizers have estimated a quarter of a million people have turned out on the sea of turkey reports now from the british capital. that's the really good question to all of the protesters out of the protests that have been. to the u.k. here we are interested out there squarely we can see behind me the score is absolutely packed with the tens of thousands of people that have been marching to
7:35 pm
get to this point for the last couple of hours and it has to be said that the numbers of people who turned out while we saw o'donnell trump and theresa may try to show a unified front they've talked about their special relationship we've seen people here talk about how the only special relationship truck seems to have is with him thank you thank you i don't like going to france and that coming out onto the streets in such numbers is fake news so all of these people are trying to make it be understood that the u.s. president is not welcome here and again this is just one of many activities that have been taking thank you thank you. thank you yes yes. yes. i can barely hear myself think but it's been like this for the last couple of hours really the mood here is very persistent in terms of showing the president he's not welcome to the u.k. and this is something that's been thanks. leading up to it and of course out
7:36 pm
as it is he arrived yesterday we saw a protest outside the u.s. ambassador's residence in london where donald trump was spending one night. earlier today was done with this massive giant balloon depicting donald trump wearing a nappy was flown over just outside parliament also here in central london so obviously the mood here seems to speak for itself in many ways with so many people finding the time and the urgency to come out to say that they just don't want donald trump. may got down to business the responses were having a much more leisure early time america's first lady melania trump joined the prime minister's husband philip for a game of bolt while members of the press were advised to wear flat shoes mrs trump was seen walking around the bowling green. even though
7:37 pm
trungpa may have been key to put on a show of unity there are a number of issues putting a strain on getting more into the maracas to. america and the u.k. have a special thing going special relationship they called it language culture values defense then came trump but surely he can't ruin it right the special relationship between the u.k. and the us has been strong for many years we'll have opportunities to talk about a possible future trading relationship really remember barack obama when he came around they couldn't get enough of him everyone wanted to shake his hand and get a picture what a swell guy. trump
7:38 pm
just doesn't have the charm it seems where barber was greeted with cheers and applause trump gets protests and outrage even a giant trump baby balloon and americans being told to avoid drawing that attention to themselves be aware of your surroundings and exercise caution and expect to live in the vicinity of large gatherings keep a low profile. one would imagine a special relationship would be a little friendlier but what do we know who to say hip in this explosive and politically divided age of ours but why they hate ok trump did slap britain and europe with painful tariffs and steal an island minium and mrs me
7:39 pm
certainly wasn't happy about it expressed deep disappointment at the unjustified decision of the united states to apply terrorists to steal and i'm moving in. it cannot be done by taking unilateral action against our partners then there was the whole iran mess so much effort years of work to get iran to verifiably stop pursuing nuclear weapons and then trump torpedoes it but come on you couldn't have been alone britain's always been there for the states donald trump. undermined progress towards normalization of relationships with iran i have been very clear in a number of conversations with the president of the united states about the belief that the united kingdom the j.c.t. away the nuclear deal with iran should stay then there's the. maze of government and strategy are in shambles she needs friends the back here and who better than
7:40 pm
the us the people voted. to break it up so i would imagine that's what they'll do but maybe they're taking a little bit of a different route so i don't know that's what they voted for well that wasn't very helpful no trump did offer the u.k. a tariff free trade deal if it really did as the e.u. but goodness me there's very little that special in this relationship aside from how fast that losing its special pnas and on top of that trump being trump just had to rub salt in the womb i'm going to a few hot spots we have nato there we have the u.k. and then we have putin. and i said putin may be the easiest of the more you never know but i'm going to a pretty hot spot right now right with the lot of reza lot of resignations on law.
7:41 pm
nothing saying it's easier to talk to putin then to your allies but they go how's that for friends it's like the phrase goes with friends like these who needs enemies. ok let's get someone else's dollar john gaunt john is really present here at talk to me radio dot com their friend of the program here at r.t. john welcome is that special relationship between the u.k. and the u.s. really at the highest level right now as president trump stated that your thoughts no that was absolute nonsense today the truth of what president jiang thinks is what he said to the solution. and all over the newspapers this morning i think he decided he had to be a little bit the diplomatic remember the interview was recorded taken two or three days ago before he resents cheney research pomp and circumstance bill lennan last night so today i think you'd think
7:42 pm
a bit more diplomatic but if you read between the lines it's clear he's saying there won't be a deal if you stay with the e.u. because they haven't managed to get a deal for these last seven years even under barack obama so we'll have a deal and if we leave i mean in all of this as well we've got to remember sure asia night hopefully will be gone in the next few days because she's so badly wounded trump dismissed some of the interview published by the sun calling it fake news he criticized the journalist for not including his praise of treason and the headline we can take a listen. i said to that paper the sun. and they seem like two very nice people but i said that theresa may say one of them is nice but i said. sitting here good where is that person where did i say nice things about tourism a place of good ok if you reported him that's good ok where one of the internet.
7:43 pm
i said very good things i thank thank you very much for saying that no i said very good things about her i didn't think they put it in but that's all right they didn't put it in the headline i wish they'd put that in there that's one of those things. he's adamant that he praised me he said we've also got a recording of if you want to listen to it but do you think it is brave to criticism was a deliberate tactic to propagate the opera before any trade talks. well i know trying new to learn very well i worked with him for a long time the guy did the interview so i know he's genuine of course he wouldn't put there to be in the headline that's not the news the news is trump trashing the bricks the deal and of course he did it deliberately ease a past master of this is now he goes in hard in the negotiation and then softens a little bit he took the seat same with north korea and no doubt he will do the same with putin when he sees it in the next couple of days that his method is all described in his book the art of the deal and basically he makes people look like
7:44 pm
rank amateurs trees in my nature a couple of days ago he went in tell us he's got what he's wanted now and also he's not really doing anything he didn't say he would do during his election campaign and i feel that yeah i think he's outwitted carries a man i will give us a trade deal if we stay in the e.u. and don't forget what he said in article was the people voted to get out and she's not giving us that john just briefly if you will we've got twenty seconds but the protesters coming out in their numbers do you think it's going to make any difference at all absolutely no if you lose two hundred thousand people well done to them of course people should be able to protest i thought the balloon was a disgrace i think sidique khan the mayor of london was a disgrace for allowing it to happen and just as you leave he you when you need a deal with trump why would you cause so much trouble and treat him with such
7:45 pm
disrespect very similar to the way trees and i has been dealing with putin and russia over all this no virtual nonsense we need friends not enemies the thoughts of john gaunt really present to talk to me radio dot com john always a pleasure thank you you thank. russia's foreign minister has said that in the absence of any real evidence highly likely now seems to be enough for some western governments to down russia in a multitude of cases circular made the comments while speaking exclusively to larry king he also touched on this channel's difficulties abroad donnel quarter report. well the interview covered a number of hot button issues regarding russia's relation to the rest of the world and one of which was trump's recent comment at a nato summit where he said that germany was a captive of russia because of merkel's gas dealings with putin now this came after
7:46 pm
germany and a number of other european countries approved the construction of the nord stream two gas pipeline this is a pipeline that would run directly from russia into the european union now while merkel denied the allegations that germany is a captive of anybody lavrov had this to say about it how did you react when the when president trump said that germany is totally controlled by russia i can only quote what the president said when he was asked by the president with your news he is his friend who said he is compared to a strong competitor but speaking of competition i've always believed in free competition because free market is about a competition and when the united states or from the region is the period said the north stream. must be stopped and those european countries whose companies would be participating in this project would be sanctioned by the united states because
7:47 pm
because the united states useful computations the russian will to repay with us you supposed to be war. nearly congress then for the story but this is not because i mean this is not competition this is a deal that now shifting back to america larry king asked surrogate lavrov what he thought about the american intelligence community's conclusion that russia had meddled in the twenty six thousand presidential elections now citing lack of evidence lavrov had this to say about it the and then his conclusion by the entire american intelligence community is that your government influenced the american elections in twenty c. . eckstein it's a report signed only by three agencies out of the dozens of intelligence agencies who normally would participate in anything called the union of the entire intelligence community of the united states then i saw the report of the senate
7:48 pm
intelligence committee which assert that you know that russia has been interfering with the elections and then no single factor was produced no the investigation of these souls very poisoning is also going on without any transparent information highly unlikely thing and the assertion that there is no other credible explanation is becoming a rule on which the western friends right to base the policy of the russian lover also went on to speak about artie's image internationally now r.t. america has already been registered as a foreign agency in the united states and the french government has already announced its plans to put together a blacklist of media organizations it believes contributes to fake news now let's see what lavrov had to say about that we are concerned that our team which is not
7:49 pm
foreign to you is being labeled by for example the french government as agents of influence. and they say in french government introduced a draft law to the parliament which is intended to come by le blanc least of media outlets which are suspected of spreading fear you can use and they would most seriously. blick least would be a company that by combining one at the government level at the legislature level at least of media resources which would be recommended to national regulators of cyberspace as rely. well sources for there's no sense to ship. them from the store much of this life consuming this program which is on our t.v. and all the sources are to you has never interfered with the show at all never and
7:50 pm
never censored us or anything so i'd go on record as saying that now of course those were only a couple of the major points but you'll be able to see the whole interview tonight on politico r.t. america. quarter well that is all our news for now we're back watching the hawks in just a moment and then i'm here and health in our time with more global news from r.t.e. h.q. . became this national camera. roughly once the show it's a move thank you for the. future uncool videos during the world cup and someone with the broccoli staring at. you down more on string you don't roughly
7:51 pm
don't t.v. . greetings and salutations back in the late one nine hundred eighty s. and one nine hundred ninety s. when the internet as we know it was just a gleam in the eye of a.o.l. investors we have bulletin boards and for us it was there that we learned a valuable lesson that the person you were talking to online might not actually be who they claim to be that lesson seems to have been lost in recent years as the scourge of trolls bots and spammers have seemingly lost as their platforms like twitter have gained popularity. we went from being skeptics of what we saw to assuming that a blue check or a profile picture confirmed the identity of the person communicating it is those same trolls bots and spammers that have led twitter to lock accounts they deemed
7:52 pm
suspicious and required validation of identity to unlock however twitter didn't remove those locked accounts from the platform nor did they remove them from other users follower accounts which is what lead twitter legal policy and trust in safety leave visa god to announce that this week will be removing these locked accounts from follower accounts across profiles globally as a result the number of followers displayed on many profiles may go down the estimated number of accounts to be purged nearly seventy million close to seventy percent or twenty four is close to twenty percent of its active monthly users this comes years literally years after the problem of trolls and bots was brought to their attention game or gate didn't make them decide to start protecting its users despite death and rape threats being bandied about by blue check users and their troll armies it seems that twitter didn't really care about the problem until it affected their advertisers in the world were worth comes from follower accounts
7:53 pm
advertisers were annoyed that the influencers people who get paid to pretend like they like products didn't actually have the reach their follower accounts claimed unilever chief marketing officer keith weed told journalists last month that people having an artificially inflated follower account made up of bots of redundant accounts is the best deceiving and at worst fraud it serves no one and undermines trust in the entire system it seems like capitalism and consumerism saving the day are simply building are forms of matter of communication in their image so let's watch the purge influence our way to some answers and start watching the hawks. this is. real that it was. as good a part of. what it looked like you that i got.
7:54 pm
this. week's honoree. welcome everybody to watching the hockey i am tabitha wallace. and joining me from new york is my co-host tyrrel ventre how you do and always a pleasure to have with the wow i am shocked shocked to find out the arthur hater and his three million followers are a great or maybe maybe that's a real person. but like this random person on twitter the you know i'm amazed that this person is you know they're going to see this purge it's a long time coming and far over do you know i mean these are these locked accounts like i said to be clay or since this kind of been reported a little i go there finally delete a or they're deleting all these people but these are people who weren't able to already blocked accounts can't tweet they can't like or read tweet and they're not
7:55 pm
served any ads but they remained in follower accounts which in a sense is is false advertising you know it's from twitter to its advertisers and to users who are engaging influencers it kind of wonders that this is really going to affect people like katy perry and taylor swift who rely on those follower accounts to demand more money for paid tweets which is where they make all their money on twitter so what do you think about this move and do you think it's timely . no i don't think it's timely because i think it's long overdue i mean it's hilarious as you mentioned earlier that lead it to business finally like waking up saying oh these people we promised all these hundreds of thousand dollars to aren't delivering in our advertising so now it's a problem but like as you alluded to back when i was gamer gave back when people being trolled back when people being threatened in their lives were being threatened online no one batted an eye you know so it's hilarious to me to see this happening and yeah i think it's going to affect celebrities and affect
7:56 pm
a lot because a lot of these marketing companies especially in hollywood music you know they tell you that someone is popular when really they might not be as popular as they are as they're advertising but when you see you know six million followers are just that person must be popular so i guess i must listen to what they have to say but that might not be true we see this in news media all the time. ultimately we when we kind of want to have. some kind of measurement and twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey said in march that quote ultimately we want to have a measurement of how it affects the broader society and public health but also individual health as well and in june of this year alexander woodward who's a digital organizing director for organizing for action remarked on the effect social change use has on our real communities let's take a listen if we are seeking connection on line and we're finding shallower connections there are loneliness rates are going up it's now considered
7:57 pm
a health epidemic and we need to have a conversation not just about what's happening on social media but whether we're actually being wise with the tool that we have. we're getting smart but can we also get wise so time to tell me you know is do you think the problem with social media influence can be solved on this user and when it's now becoming is being seen as a public health crisis it's a threat to democracy it's all of these things or are censorship advocates in some way right in saying we have to ban some people from the public square i don't believe that you ban people from the public square unless they're actively threatening someone which is the you know which you know that breaks the first amendment me here in the us in the first minute protects us in speech even online or in person you can say what you want until you cross the line we're suddenly you're actively threatening someone personally and threatening their life then it can be no one then it can be considered free speech you know especially as
7:58 pm
a direct threat but i don't i don't i don't think leaving it up to an imaginary arbitrator to say ok this person is good this person is bad now if it's a fake account and it's like completely wrote a bot yeah get rid of it but if it is someone's account even as a troll they private business can say hey we don't want this person on our business but in general in terms of the country itself that we were still protected by the first amendment you can still say what you want to say and i would rather protect you know unpopular speech in order to preserve. popular speech yeah i totally agree and i think one of the things you know the last thing i want to say on this today is it's sad to see that rape and death threats were not considered a big enough issue that a an election made people actually look at it and over a few you know bought accounts and then the fact that it's really become this now it's an advertiser's issue and it affects while straight it's sad that we couldn't protect people and public health just because it was the right thing to do it is.
7:59 pm
it is no secret that many of the social issues fueling america's modern day divisions have roots far deeper and more complicated than the most recent election season or latest cable news controversy take for example black lives matter in its current name the movement may have come to life exactly four years ago to the day after the acquittal for the controversial acquittal of george zimmerman in the trayvon martin murder trial but the long sordid historic story of racially fueled violence against african-americans goes much further back through years of segregation jim crow post civil war reconstruction and our own and our nation's original sin the institution of slavery and in an unexpected move that became public this week the u.s. department of justice made clear it is still interested in resolving one of the most famous cold cases of this history of wrongs the brutal mississippi murder in one nine hundred fifty five of emmett till
8:00 pm
a fourteen year old african-american visiting from chicago who was accused of making inappropriate advances on the local white woman and was later found savagely murdered and drowned in a river to this day the emmett till tragedy leaves civil rights a story ends with more questions than answers but is there a chance this may finally change. incredible story incredible story that just come up and i mean it's interesting because i guess what what spurred this was that a book came out last year and in it it was documented that both of the men who were accused of it had admitted and also that. the woman herself had admitted in interviews that it never that he hadn't done anything that the story was wrong and her husband said whatever about boy did it didn't he didn't deserve what happened to him. you know it's sixty years now since the emmett till murder and any resolution to the case is complicated by the fact that these witnesses and suspects
