stop ignoring the plight of migrants and force them to take action charlotte even ski r.t. paris. south african comedian presenter of the daily show trevor knower a shot to the top of america's t.v. personalities charge it's based on popularity and social media platforms and television and seems it's got global appeal but many argue his jokes cross the line far too often. all women of every race can be beautiful and i know some of you're sitting there not going over your but i've never seen a beautiful aborigine but you know what you say you say yes that's to say yes because you haven't seen all of the right plus it's not always about looks maybe aborigine women do special things like jump on top of you in. africa but i don't want the world cup football what.

i mean look i get it i get it they have to say it's the french team but look at those guys i guess you don't get that tear by hanging out in the south of france my friends. dancing i how bad was the stance i forced them to was the police this is the miners and they wanted money and it was a sad situation no one really knows what happened but everyone has an opinion i like this well many things said in jest but that last show provoked outrage the twenty two of america and a massacre when police in the south africa dozens of people during a miners' strike someone twitter slammed him for using such provocative humor to build his career you know neil got the opinion of comedian john f.

o'donnell and also legal and media analyst lionel. comedy today is being infiltrated with these floyd ian screw ups these demented twisted angry sexually backwater we're freudian nightmare these these these pair of files who think it's funny to shock and to say something and whatever they say we're supposed to accept the reality is once we start letting these kind of p.c. monsters come into place and having like you know people decide what is you know what is tolerable and what is good we do cross a mess that we do cross a dangerous line and if somebody does a comedian does want to of their own volition apologize for a bit i think that that is ok like he did apologize for this the bit about saying you know aboriginal people are attractive to me everything is valid in terms of whether you call it humor or pekin commentary if you don't like it turn it off but

a rule might be don't joke about something called a mass occur just saying i mean i don't know if there's any rules but i stay away from master curry humor let me tell you what bothers me and in addition to this and i'm no real big fan of trevor noah and that doesn't mean anything you know read anything into that how many years ago were some of these jokes is there a statute of limitations number one do we just dredge up stuff that's number one and number two i don't mind or i do mind should say when some people get away with things and some people don't who decides who gets away with what who gets to say you could say oh you could say it right that you are but you can't that's what bothers me we have to go back to the maracana musser in the way trevor joked about it let's again listen to a short clip. why didn't i use rabbit mornings i didn't use i'd tend to i guess

because those things don't work anymore. these are the whole wheat and they couldn't control people so that's come with ammunition for those guys had weapons plus i guess is a waste of time which strikes have ended because of him against libya for that on the news and yeah it is a very you know disparate and you to kind of say something like that and then kind of have this thing you know ever say this was this was five years ago and i was saying it's like how long do these our age police get to you know exist like what's the statute of limitation on saying something as comedians as creative people we're coming up with a lot of content we're throwing a lot of things out there sure if we say something that's you know that's really inflammatory and you know there can be a backlash and that's something that we have to we have to deal with right or wrong and let's also remember this is trevor no are ok about it so get crazy but if he did made there's jokes about palestinian riots or uprisings with israeli soldiers. no no no no no so there's no applicability to humor across the board it's all

what's in and what's not black lives matter sacrosanct the massacre that that's what it will what's the word not oh yes edgy is there a point there that maybe breviary is being lost in company a little bit the easy targets are being deployed when it comes to the liberal versus conservative liberal . comix tend to you know go done the side of conservatives with the troubling ministration it's sort of sort of easy for you know mainstream liberal comedians to you know go after the ministration of the republican party that's the kind of the wheel has a house where they feel you know comfortable i go a lot of these shows would probably be considerably you know would would be happy if there was a hillary clinton presidency but they would have less fodder to go after you know if you're in the right group and the right person the sky's the limit if you're not republican trump supporter perceived to be right wing whatever you get no tolerance

and no exercise of the free liberty of free speech that simple. out of the voting here in moscow a lot more to come as the u.s. looks to midterm elections facebook scraps accounts now it believes could impact the vote will bring all the names in the fray off this break. russia is one of the countries that most buy capacity and although very high population does that mean russia does need to be concerned about sustainability i would say yes absolutely you are no lucky situation where you have a lot of farm per person so to say you know you have a lot of wealth ecological wealth and but the word is very scarce so that's a huge economic advantage as well and say wow this is an amazing farm let's look after it well because that's said that enable us to live well the long run.

what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to be preached. to the right to be press that's what before three of the more people. interested in the water. question. again thanks choosing out so with those in the u.s. mid-term elections on the horizon the specter of alleged russian meddling in syria period facebook's removed accounts which he believes were being used to possibly influence the outcome of the vote but samir khan reports next there is no evidence to point the finger at moscow. today we removed thirty two pages in accounts from

facebook and instagram because they were involved in coordinated inauthentic behavior this kind of behavior is not allowed on facebook because we don't want people or organizations creating networks of accounts to mislead others about who they are or what they're doing yes thirty two accounts were deleted to face the arms race presented by quote well funded adversaries but who are those three to accounts influential enough to undermine american democracy in fact most of the spot of materials had zero to ten followers and in the scope of about fourteen months ran one hundred fifty ads for approximately eleven thousand dollars but let's get down to the nitty gritty who is guilty we're still in the very early stages of our investigation and don't have all the facts including who may be behind this in the statement facebook reiterated several times that they were unable to identify the culprit and even admitted that they quote may never be able to identify the source with the apparent goal of amplifying already existing

conspiratorial narratives the mainstream media it's playing not an ounce of creativity went on to blame the usual suspect brush an actor's continue to try to disrupt metal infiltrate the us political debate if not the elections them selves well russia is interfering they're continuing to interfere russia has been mentioned as the likely source of this interference or attempts russians and other nation states absolutely are attempting to manipulate us but on what basis the report didn't find russia or russian entities or russian linked entities responsible all of us some references were made to last year's findings which were they best democratic house minority leader nancy pelosi even demanded that facebook brief congress on these critical developments which she took as confirmation of the intelligence community's russian interference claims the latest announcement confirms the longstanding findings of the u.s. intelligence community and national security experts that russia is actively

utilizing social media in a car donated effort to sow discord among the american people and undermine our democracy. what does it mean to be an inauthentic account it's not really explain for a well if someone is against the u.s. immigration policy which is some of these anti ice accounts apparently were maybe they would like to conceal their identity maybe they're afraid of the us authorities it's a strange thing are we allowed to be private in q four identities private in the us without people assuming that somehow there are some foreign hand meddling in things it's very strange the real question is what does it mean that someone is trying to sow divisions among americans are we not allowed to disagree with each other on fundamental issues like immigration and other things and i look at some of the ages and some of them were sort of pro-feminist women shouldn't have to cook for their for their man i mean how is this supposed to is a russian effort to sort of visions americans have always disagreed that's the nature of society of a free society you disagree about the so these people i think the mentality is not

like north korea or something it's very bizarre. the city of austin in the u.s. may have to rethink its name because a report from the city's equity office has raised the issue that the texas state capitol was named after a supporter of slavery and that's a sensitive issue for a city that's considered one of the most liberal in the whole country.

so than austin the office has reviewed all the city's property and whether or not it's got any ties to the confederacy and they came up with a whole list of street names of money once that they say should be changed or removed or the cabinet to this is must be said the city name change is not likely that anytime soon and the only begin a medium priority list look a bit deeper into this why is this so controversial here well we think of the name steven austin he was the father of texas he was secretary of state there is fine looking chap in the new republic of the nineteenth century but he was a prominent slavery advocate at the time and even him for infamously said if slaves were emancipated they'd turn into a menace but he had slaves as domestic servants as well still naming the city after the state found his common sense says media relations consultant and local resident john griffin. got this push in texas trying to you know what i do

with. anybody but texas is offensive because liberties of. texas is named that capital city is named for the person that started the colony in texas that became the state that's common instead the city council here in austin has made a few. a few very good decisions like banning so the city council would rather waste jack payer money on frivolous ideas like. they're actually doing real work. to tribes in the maybe or in southwest africa or attempting to sue germany they're seeking compensation and official apologies for the alleged genocide by german colonialists over one hundred years ago and this is sethi takes at the story. germany still shows signs of its dark imperial past this is looted it's to us are

named after adult knew that it's his stablished the very first colony german southwest africa also known as the maybe a in the early one thousand nine hundred stehman settlers thought it receives land from local citizens leading to one of the centrist west genocides. the here are a nation must now leave the country if it for a few years is a show compelled to do so with a long tube and a hero found inside the german frontier with or without a gun or a candle will be executed i shall spare me the women not children.

today's herero unama communities still mourn the deaths of the eighty thousand people were slaughtered is they're battling for the german government to pay for the crimes committed it's you know what people want to commit holocaust. and then you simply claim to be sick. on that use. my and you apologized and then you beat the traditions. but because we happen to be of a different skin color africa to. the german government you see for us. it's only. an apology. and that's it. even the apology came a century later with a german economic cooperation and development minister close to tears when she spoke about it in two thousand and four. we germans acknowledge our historical

political moral and ethical responsibility and the guilt the germans brought upon themselves but the government stepped in saying the minister was speaking as a private citizen and not representing jamie's position it took over a decade more for belin to officially acknowledged the crimes of the past the war of extermination in the media from nine hundred forty nine where it was a war crime and genocide the movie has received hundreds of thousands of euros from germany perhaps a sort of in direct way of compensation but that's not enough for the tribes last year america and now my representatives by the lawsuit in new york saying they wanted to be part of the official talks between germany and the maybe you're saying it was the only way to ensure justice what happened in south africa was a genocide. a violation of the war and germany is not. really. completely held accountable it is unique in this sense that you can find it

in extermination order that was issued by germany. to the extent that it's them if there was in the historians to say just look at the mix they will make a difference of this case history will delete even law if they win it might encourage other indigenous groups to take action against format european colonial overlords which could see the likes of britain france and the netherlands pay a high price to pass chains and the r.t. belen. made headlines last month after being arrested in the us for being a russian agent should know for a says further allegations such as luring american money to russia or to america's spoke to a lawyer you can watch the whole interview on our you tube channel. well i think if you read the indictment in the case is alleged to be an agent over russia who failed to register with the attorney general and so essentially that

means is they haven't charged with espionage and if you read the allegations against or know the allegations or parenting spy like about it the sense of the government is conceding that even under their own theory if she had filed a piece of paper with the attorney general's office at the beginning of her trip to america everything she did was legal and so my point is this is more a registration type crime than a espionage crime and yet the media and the government some extent are treating it like an espionage crime. well i mean i think that that allegation was particularly damaging to maria because it makes it more like a spy novel and frankly easier for the public to digest and so editors and producers like those kind of allegations because it seems like this is more like the red sparrow and that was an allegation that was set forth in a proffer by the government meaning they did not produce evidence to back up that allegation at the time we're still waiting to see that and we're not sure it exists

or it exists in any meaningful form in the interim it's very hard to see your client kind of dragged through the mud like this which is why i've been trying to push back on that that's run of some the top stories this wednesday morning the first of all this takes actually nine twenty nine here now and kevin have been saying. greetings and salutation is one of the main tenets of the united states constitution is the separation of church and state the founding fathers of this country were pretty clear in their belief that religion and government just do not mix much like brussel sprouts and peanut butter they were so clear they put it in the very first amendment to the constitution not two not three but one the first one congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or

prohibiting the free exercise thereof i know seems pretty clear the government cannot declare one religion above all others nor can the government tell you who or what you can or cannot pray to clearly the founders of the united states wanted to keep church and state separate because when combined the word of the government becomes the word of god and that government becomes a theocracy and no longer a constitutional republic. a child could understand why that's a bad thing a child could but apparently not attorney general jeff sessions who this week after watching way too many reruns of bill o'reilly's fox news war on christmas segments decided to create the department of justice is very own religious liberty task force yes the hill reports that sessions said the cultural climate in this country and in the west more generally has become less hospitable to people of faith than recent years and as

a result many americans about there pritam to practice their faith has been under attack sessions went on to point out that quote we've seen nuns ordered to buy contraceptives we've seen u.s. senators ask judicial and executive branch nominees about dogma we've all seen the ordeal face so bravely by jack phillips the cake guy religious americans are no longer an after thought. interestingly sessions never mentioned or inferred a meeting about protecting the rights of say i don't know u.s. muslims from being spied on or targeted by law enforcement agencies how curious today let us navigate the divide between the church and the state as we start watching the hawks. we're going to. get the. real deal with. the plot of. the day like you know that i got. with. this.

because i. welcome are going to watch the hawks i am to roll them through and i'm top of the law list so that church versus state president just sessions is separating nuns and anything that i was. just just to be clear right off the bat no nuns were made to buy contraceptives were themselves that's ludicrous but i can see how just that from what i'm quite notice that no it was about the case that he is referring to was about a nursing home a group of nuns in a convent that had that run a nursing home and they didn't want to as hobby lobby offer insurance to their employees that included birth control because they say religious liberty whatever i say it's silly so it's really it's not it doesn't the thing you can't tell people

that religion is about making the right choices and then make those choices for the interesting to me that's a part of this religious liberty that's not there you're forcing choices that you want someone to make from a moral stance that well first and make it's interesting because what sessions did this week in creating you know this kind of religious liberty task force at the religious liberty summit. well it sounds. very creative by the way they're talking and it really put an interesting thing because what the task force will be co-chaired by associate attorney general just go and the assistant attorney general for the justice department's office of legal policy both williams you see them there you know what's interesting about this taboo is that it really does and they're kind of making the argument that we're we're separating church from state by enforcing the fact that the state cannot infringe on the rights of face of people practicing their religion that's like their argument but many other people are saying yeah but by the state kind of focusing so heavily on this you're

actually are believing the two lines well you know in a government department right belief in a major and see the controls and. decides whether or not it is being exactly i mean it is kind of this weird no gray area and that's just because it would be different if you said look this is going to be a whole set up of what's really going to happen i know it sounds crazy but we're going to have you know people from different faiths making sure where whatever you know we're going to have a muslim a rabbi you know this you've you had a bunch and it was a board of people but to see these two people who are clearly neither of them probably most of them i met throw that out as a guess i might be wrong. but there's something about what it actually does so the force what they what the plan is this is to help the department fully implement the religious liberty guidance issued last year under session so he's creating entire

task force to simply not follow laws but the guidance that he gave so much i walk around and wrap everyone's not calls when i don't do what they're supposed to so it's all about interpretating the religious liberty and protection. some of these include so the freedom of religion as a fundamental right of paramount importance expressly protected by federal law the free exercise of religion includes the right to act or abstain from action in accordance one's beliefs religious beliefs the idea of not going to war or. giving birth control a gas they're not giving cakes to say gay people americans do not give up their freedom of religion by participating in the marketplace partaking of the public square are interacting with the government now all of that is perfectly fine except what he's doing is going into the public square as government officials and telling people how and when they should be able to express or not express all religious liberty and what's interesting in that the bait between the church and state is you

choose your religion right there you're not you're not you're not boy you can be by my word or in that you can be born into it but you begin to as an individual make a choice i'm going to worship this or i'm going to what's right or i'm not going to worship anything at all that's the idea but you know let's say in the gay you know in the gay. debate and all that you know those people are born gay i'm sorry you're born gay don't make a choice at some point i never made a choice to be heterosexual i was just i realize those who are sexual needs where i want to you know i never made a choice that option never came up to me so what church you do make a choice so that's very interesting because the problem is when church and practicing your religious beliefs does suddenly supersede on someone else's individual rights that's a whole and a problem comes in exactly you know. the fact where we're going to have moving things up one of the things we have talked

about earlier was this idea of unnamed sources now i mean sources and mysterious reports from the unspecified u.s. intelligence agency is nothing new that is what the washington post revealed on monday under the headline u.s. fight. agency's north korea is working on new missiles stating that the information is according to the officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe classified intelligence even going as far to claim as to claim that quote senior north korean officials have discussed their intention to deceive washington about the number of nuclear warheads and missiles they have as well as types and numbers of facilities and to rebuff international inspectors according to intelligence gathered by u.s. agencies and yet in the entirety of the over twelve hundred word article the only u.s. intelligence agency named is the national geospatial intelligence agency which is the combat support agency of the department of defense which is focused and focused on the collecting analyzing and distributing of satellite imagery for the military

for natural and manmade disasters and for security planning of events like the olympics no other agency is named no u.s. government officials are name nor is the source of this report that is the core of the narrative that new or korea is a party planning to default on a new denuclearization agreement that hasn't even been made yet couple that with the fact that the images used by the washington post from a company called planet labs incorporated a private corporation that provides satellite imagery to commercial and civilian clients and you have a very strange narrative that actually contradicts itself while it contends that the mysterious secret classified report apparently based on imaging data easily legally obtained on the internet for a small fee is the source it also reminds us of these sources an expert would agree on the analysis at least none that we're willing to be so are we just going to keep gobbling up these dangerous narratives that threaten the most tried and true basics of diplomacy and peacekeeping. of course we are.

going to be sort of in the works now as anonymous those synonymous with somebody in the government whispered the guy who told me very first gospel and it was as long as it pushes my. genda must be a gospel lived the nuns were forced to by a north korean contraceptive if it's a maybe that's less than a lot and you've got to watch out these days that i know you know but you know it's amazing this article we were talking about it last night just how much it's completely based on interviews with me on hearsay and this is the thing that everybody that started repeating in the tweets that are coming one or two missiles are making one or two missiles even though never says that the fact that the report or the article claims that they just doesn't even like claiming that their missiles are the currently being constructed as false according to the very images and assessments in the article so they claim the the article claims that the reports suspect those buildings are still being used for possible all for the us because

they see people and trucks near the buildings. people in trucks. move clear buildings like i would imagine there would be i can't imagine that we're suddenly just decide to like oh well let's take all the trucks home and leave a nucular building where you want to be one way that they want energy to just empty the public we're going to get mad all the stuff that apparently magically is supposed to dismantle it's all and the. satellite launching station is in the process of being dismantled according to both unnamed again intelligence sources but the washington post piece claims that this is only symbolic and that it can all be rebuilt in a matter of bugs so it's really don't trust the fact that it is being dismantled the facility has not been confirmed as a site for uranium enrichment by european intelligence services or other agencies and yet the broad consensus among us intelligence agencies that.
