12:03 pm
a meeting in helsinki with the russian president if you look at time magazine or the new yorker there's been quite a bit of hysteria in u.s. media now in recent comments the russian president has actually warned the world about the hysteria in the u.s. media and about you know forces that would push false narratives about the meeting in helsinki to advance their own political game there are forces in the us ready to easily sacrifice russia u.s. relations for their political ambitions a satirical novelist once wrote about these sorts of people as pitiful and pathetic but these people who are pitiful nor pathetic on the contrary they're pretty powerful if they can fool. stories to millions of the citizens and they count in the aftermath of the helsinki meeting which took place on monday we've seen quite a bit of shifts and changes in how the us president has described that meeting his
12:04 pm
explanation and assessment of the events seems to go back and forth they have president putin he just said it's not russian i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be and should have been i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia. sort of a double negative it would be with us intelligence. russia meddled in the election twenty sixteen i would say that that is true but you haven't condemned putin specifically do you hold him personally responsible well i would because he's in charge of the country getting along with president putin getting along with russia is a positive not a negative if that doesn't work out i'll be the worst enemy he's ever had the worst he's ever had so this new announcement that trump is indeed planning to invite the president of russia to the united states to the white house for another meeting it fits in with a recent tweet from trump he said he was looking forward to a second meeting with the russian president but many people are wondering what will

12:06 pm

12:07 pm
years they held out. of thank goodness i was too pretty for my family we've been. good to see each was very . forcible to describe it is impossible to express it. this latest deal was made by the syrian government and had. previously. in syria is limits let seven thousand civilians leave the two towns and the syrian government releases hundreds of militants from prisons the rebels have lost the two villages they used this bugging chips for years they have also lost swathes of territory and homes and southern syria. in the span of mia months.
12:08 pm
after the evacuation rebels drove tanks into foo and trashing national flags and defacing acids portraits and damascus now has a serious problem. filled to the brim with islamists and rebels from all over the country and with nowhere left to run the stage is set for the last
12:09 pm
bloody showdown of the syrian war. now to germany where there's been a stabbing spree on a bus in the city of lubec fourteen people are injured is now in police custody. as more details. well we know that this was a mass stabbing attack that took place on a public transport bus in the northern german city of newburgh this is a city that's about three hours drive from berlin to the northwest of berlin when something is said to fall into. that attack it's been described as a bloodbath by witness accounts carnage on the bus and we understand that two of those who were injured in that mustache being or seriously injured let's take a look now at what some of the eyewitness accounts it of the merging said about what happened bus full of passengers who are struggling to try to remember when suddenly a passenger dropped the backpack the member and pulled a gun and attacked people in the bus the bus driver stopped immediately and was
12:10 pm
also attacked he opened the doors of the passengers could flee a patrol car became aware of what was happening and police arrested the offender one of the victims had just after at his place an elderly woman and the perpetrator stabbed him in the chest it was carnage the witnesses crudely being treated by police information being released about the suspect we understand that he is a man of around thirty five years of age he's of a rainy and origin and also that he is currently in police custody at the moment and that's because police were able to apprehend him at the scene close to the scene but there is no indication as of yet as to what was the motivation behind this mass stabbing this carnage on a bus in a northern city in germany where waiting in for information from the police about that and about whether they will decide if this attack was motivated by something such as terror or something else. comments on the holocaust sparking fury against
12:11 pm
the head of facebook that's after mark zuckerberg said holocaust deniers shouldn't be banned from the social media platform. i'm jewish and there's a set of people who deny the holocaust is right i find that deeply offensive but at the end of the day i don't believe that our platform should take that down because i think that there are things that different people get wrong either i don't think that they're intentionally getting a wrong but i think that they. they might be but. it's hard to you know i'm pune intent and to understand the intent i think the reality is also that i get things wrong when i speak publicly i'm sure you do i'm sure a lot of leaders and public figures we respect do too and i just don't think that is the right thing to say we're going to take someone off the platform if they get things wrong even multiple times anti semitism should not be given any platform
12:12 pm
those who deny the holocaust should not be defended by anyone on the contrary worldwide everything should be done to protect jewish lives there should be no place for anti semitism anywhere this includes verbal and physical attacks on jews as well as holocaust denial the latter two is punishable by us and will be consistently persecute. well it's not only german ministers who are the who have been lashing out at the social media head with twitter users also joining in a holocaust denial isn't an opinion according to one but rather grotesque racism another pointed out six million jews don't have the right to comment on the issue some also question zuckerberg suitability to be the head of such a huge company when he hold such views as forced him to issue this statement saying he's deeply against holocaust denial condemning it calling it deeply offensive
12:13 pm
about clarified he was not defending people who deny it but the c.e.o. also added that his aim was not to stop lies on facebook but to spur prevent the spread of fake news other networks community started by a speech which many critics believe should include holocaust denial as well british blogger and journalist richard millet says facebook must do more what you are saying this idea that he's trying to stop the spreading of news well this is there's no more fake news than holocaust and not have been documented it's been researched it's been proved and he has the capacity. the platform to move it and very rare to hear a voice that suggests that he's doing the right thing by keeping your eye on his facebook pages it can only do more harm than good if you see a link in the holocaust it's quite frightening because you know this was mass murder inflicted on the jewish people in it people are going to say he didn't
12:14 pm
happen there is chances it can happen again and we are going to learn from history and i think that. there's been folk by jewish people around the world they once got facebook coming into their homes. leaked video showing the dutch foreign minister saying that there is no such thing as a peaceful multicultural society has triggered a way of criticism we'll have the details off to this short break. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be all for rich eight point six percent market soft thirty percent i just want to hear some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand

dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business showed you can afford to miss the one and only. began to snatch your camera. roughly once they showed some leave for them. to joan cool videos and sell them with the roughly string apps. line down more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. . welcome back swati international foreign minister stef block is facing a storm of criticism off to saying there is no such thing as
12:16 pm
a peaceful multicultural society. as you know nothing of. the police. already believe. that. the minister also dismissed the former dutch colony surinam as a failed state to say ethnic divisions refugee groups and politicians alike have expressed dismay over blocks remarks blocking orderly offends people who look like me but a whole national history and identity this isn't worth your government official minister block is undermining efforts by this government to make joint agreements
12:17 pm
in europe on the proper reception of refugees abroad has apologized for his remarks saying they were meant to spark a debate and not to offend we decided to put the issue up for discussion with independent journalist luke revie and un coordinates on minorities mohammed circle . he says things which up and former unfortunately real is that dean multicultural societies that were promised us that the perfect twenty first century site is don't function in the west at least in western europe i think this last remark you just based on. ignorance of how can societies can bring together a big example. we can witness is the work of the french team for example look at french team french team contains a multicultural society france beat another team from a small country in the balkans and all the players in this small team of the
12:18 pm
country of origin so there is no rule to be taken out of that to meet the multiculturalists that doesn't function is what you have communities living next to each other and not mixing it is very easy for example for patients to. melton and become members of society but we have some some part of the population that refuse it to want to impose their culture in the public space like the slum for example democracy can only be based on respect respect of the each other culture respect it comes also from form not to fear from other people culture from the other society we import misery we have a social security system which is based on the contribution of everyone and the problem is that the millions that come to europe never participated they never contributed and they come with families look at examples off the continent of africa if we have left africa alone would not have seen african migrated to to to europe if we have not it would not have sucked the richness of africa there
12:19 pm
diamonds the gold live the oil then those people who stayed in their own country that would be years and years no no if you have. been in your result one the last the world to try to invade other countries and critical of police countries and then they complain. why immigrants come back to europe because you have conquered they conquered those countries and they impose laws they believe come back to with us if you when it's right in england does it right spring is here migrating they ask you for the black in the sixties to come and work in england same for the indian this is not people are how the choice is by force is not a choice minorities are welcome when they are minorities one it is a real inflation in millions they say no and it doesnt stop living there for thirty years in europe for thirty five years i believe because the multicultural has made europe as rich of this country is not by wiping someone else and it's not about. you know imposing someone else culture another i didn't see that i would like to
12:20 pm
see or read integration more. walk away used by people abandoning the us democratic party has been picked up by the media that's just in the trend is actually the work of russian automated accounts or bots trying to sow discord we spoke to the creator of the walkway movement to find out more. big or do you think that a walk or a campaign is comprised of russian butts i would suggest that they check out our facebook page which is where the campaign really takes place that's how we campaign go there on facebook and what you'll find is video testimonials of actual human beings who are looking into their cameras and telling their stories and then i say friend c.d.o. i was instantly hoped to his message that democrats don't care about us not one bit they walked away from us a long time ago and it's time for us to do the same i chose to walk oh they're
12:21 pm
telling their stories about why they're walking away to the left and there's people in the raid were also telling their stories about reclaiming their voice and the narrative of what it means to be a conservative which has been hijacked by the left they're telling you know what it means to be conservative and what their values are and welcoming people who are talking we last so i mean this is a pretty easily disputed look think these are real people making real video testimonials and you can see them with your own eyes. and the movement whose motto is not just a hash tag has gained a strong following online more than sixty thousand subscribers on facebook new cases of former democrat supporters of biden in the party's ideals are emerging every day and the media are painting walk away on russian bots as the movement was mentioned by a site that tracks twitter accounts linked to alleged russian interference it's cool to have a whole project but the site itself says the media have got it wrong most of the third party reporting on the dashboard continues to appear with some variation of
12:22 pm
the headline russian books are pushing x. this is inherently inaccurate they're not all in russia we don't even think they're all commanded in russia at all we think some of them are legitimately passionate people that are just really into promoting russia. now here's brian and struck again founder of walkway on why democratic officials are trying to denigrate the movement. i think it's an incredibly desperate attempt by the left wing politicians and the democrats to explain away the fact that people are leaving their party and they're no longer happy with what's going on but. you know it's like they tried every every trick in the book to sort of dehumanised people first it was you know calling people bigots calling people racist calling people nazis you know anything that they could do to dehumanize people and that didn't work so now they've actually doubled down and literally started calling human beings robots
12:23 pm
all of this in a desperate attempt to cover up the fact that their party has no plan their party has no appeal to people anymore because they really just become a party of reach hostility and now. people don't want it anymore people are leaving the left is are not robots these are actual people who are democratic party abroad. british military personnel could be prosecuted for alleged war crimes committed while assisting operations conducted by the united states a two year probe of drone use carried out by a cross party parliamentary group found that the u.k. may have been complicit in targeted killings in afghanistan iraq and syria as well as given somalia and pakistan those countries where u.k. isn't officially at war now the inquiry's report raises concerns about the legitimate use of combat drones abroad claiming that it could lead to a number of unaccomplished civilian casualties the report says that the u.k. is complicit in illegal strikes conducted by other states which were receiving
12:24 pm
british military and intelligence support the u.k. government's policy regarding drone use is branded opaque and big us and effectively unaccountable we spoke to lord nazir armored member of the parliamentary group behind that report. we need to be more transparent and it has to be. very open and the information needs to be available this should be a parliamentary oversight and the government also needs to make sure that there is proper legislation to ensure transparency and also accountability as well as legality under international law and this also means that we make sure that there are no civilian casualties no extrajudicial killings and wherever possible those culprits that they want want to catch they should be caught and brought to justice rather than the easy use of drawings and killing them without us
12:25 pm
knowing exactly what the allegations are according to the report some drone strikes were conducted without parliamentary approval with the defense ministry admitting to only one civilian death. we do everything we can to minimize the risk to civilian life from u.k. strikes it is therefore deeply regrettable that strike resulted in an unintentional civilian fatality the u.k. drone strikes within syria have killed one civilian that's the code it's the official statistics obviously anyone the knows about drone strikes knows that that figure is absolutely ludicrous no one that i know finds that credible at all the u.k. government claims that only one civilian has been killed in a drone strike is insane no one believes that because it's low risk it means they don't have to there's no impetus on reporting it so there's no coverage in the mainstream media and they certainly very little coverage from that from the likes of the b.b.c. here in the u.k. there are various sources really groups in the u.k.
12:26 pm
that are trying to monitor drone strikes but it obviously is very very difficult but the problem is growing definitely and it's it is a worry. for myself and the team here at. harvey they will be here in about thirty minutes with more world news headlines states to do watching the international. scene where there may not be any kind and maybe bacterial life may not be anything intelligent but i think it's probably just in terms like that and certainly from now we can we can send a robot to interact with some of the species out there. seventy four disapproves of the so. cells linked.
