2:31 am
out how to tell a good mate he's campaigned on facebook. the team will work on algorithms that root out in civility and intolerance on twitter and assess the extent to which people engage with different viewpoints but austin peterson claims the platform despite what it says is actually making a concerted effort to censor certain ideas and talking points. we don't have free speech in the united states in order to be able to discuss the whether we have free speech the united states so that we can discuss very controversial things i don't mind if a social media network has a bias i assume a bias but what i prefer is transparency about that bias twitter suppresses conservative and libertarian voices from being able to get their message out because they have a bias and it's deeply disturbing and a threat to american democracy. turkey's foreign ministry has lambasted u.s. plans to sanction two turkish government ministers on qur'an has called on
2:32 am
washington to reverse its decision the punitive measures came in response to the detention of an american pastor in turkey andrew bronson is accused of being involved in the attempted coup there two years ago with more details in washington here is our teeth america. well washington sanctions target two turkish officials number one the justice minister of bill hamid gul and the interior minister silliman solo the white house explained the decision saying that they did not find any evidence implicating pastor france in calling him a victim treated unfairly by the turkish government but what do the sanctions in tail exactly will sarah huckabee sanders explains any property or interest in property of both ministers within u.s. jurisdiction is blocked and u.s. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them for some background on bronson he's an american pastor who was detained in twenty sixteen under suspicions of having links to the movement who orchestrated be cool against

heir to one he was held for twenty one months in prison until he was placed under house arrest amid u.s. pressure now the two sides didn't mince their words the u.s. threatened turkey with sanctions and turkey responded saying that they wouldn't bow down to any threats and a president who won and the turkish government i have a message on behalf of the president of the united states of america release pastor andrew bronson now or be prepared to face the consequences it is not suitable to use such language against a country like turkey which is still cooperating with nato with the highest level we don't give any credit to such threatening language they should know our character us turkish relations haven't been so strong lately over the syria conflict turkey's a weapons deals or missile defense deal with russia as well as iranian sanctions so
2:34 am
we'll just have to see if turkey does indeed retaliate. mario made headlines last month after being arrested in the u.s. on charges of acting as a russian agent now there are reports the u.s. senate has agreed to release a transcript of bullets in his testimony before the body in response to the requests from the justice department and her attorney r.t. america spoke to boots and his lawyer about the case. well i think if you read the indictment of 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 against or know the allegations or anything spy like about it the sense of the government is conceding that even under their own theory it should follow the 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
2:35 am
a 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. south africa's ruling african national congress committed on tuesday to amending the constitution to allow the state to seize land without paying compensation currently over two decades on from the end of apartheid or
2:36 am
racial segregation white farmers still own the lion's share of the country's privately held land the a.n.c. had been buying up some of it for redistribution however opinion among lawmakers has shifted and the majority now support. taking land without offering compensation but for that the constitution has to be changed that is a move president ramaphosa now wants to push ahead with he says the amendment will help drive economic growth. the a.n.c. that. reaffirmed its position that a comprehensive land reform program that and neighborhoods equitable access to lead and. unlock economic growth by bringing in more lead and in south africa to fully use and enable the productive participation of millions more south africans in the economy the plan has been met with sharp criticism from white
2:37 am
farmers who have called it a catastrophic here are some of the backlash that has appeared online and we are going to live happily ever after south africa doesn't have a line problem it has a political problem this is disgraceful what an appalling situation in south africa where are all those protesters. and see explained to you that you won't be own in their land by twelve berrington interim them and one day for free. events all the south african agricultural union leader told us confiscating land will scare off investors. south africa do have a huge problem with poverty and unemployment and for us this is a pity that they make these choices because no one will invest in this economy and we need growth to actually address the realities of south africa so we have great concern about this approach we're already a lot of countries already contacted us as an organization and say instead will be
2:38 am
the case we are not willing to invest in your country anymore i can give you a lot of examples of people already stop investing in south africa and that's a starting point of economic growth until now it's a first on that they make this promises to the bubbly because they need it for the election i think it is but he challenging the much on the other try to save himself and that is what's going on now. police in los angeles california have released a video showing three officers killing a hostage taker armed with a knife as well as the hostage and just a bit of warning you might find the following images disturbing. were. true. we were was.
2:39 am
the man ignored repeated demands by police to drop his knife instead he dropped a chair he was using as a shield grabbed a homeless woman and started to cut her throat apparently now at that point officers opened fire with shotguns loaded with beanbag rounds killing both people commenting on the incident at the los angeles police chief said a review would determine if the officers acted properly. the life of the hostage is is paramount and protecting that individual from the threat of the assailant and in doing that the balancing act that the officer has is how to protect them by stopping the suspects actions generally and then in regards to recruit training we talk about a precise headshot in this instance will look to the the office of the officer's
2:40 am
actions in the end determining and will make you terminations how it matches up to our training in regards to hostage. he spoke to cory peggy's a former new york city police officer he says the officers should have been more careful in their employment to force. this should have only been one should it designated to take a shot not to review because when you get to eat people shouldn't you're going to shoot you're going to shoot a hostage which you sort that just happened because that three different angles you gash ass coming from three different angles and it was a tight window when you look at it from the body camera that's so my conclusion is that they didn't they definitely failed to communicate properly. take down that one person should have been a security that they had a clear shot to shoot just think over what do firearms just think chasey drafted that it's all over again it was nice but it should have been more communication
2:41 am
asked only problem i see it's a situation it definitely was a show you that you. don't see. an investigation is underway into the deaths of three russian journalists in the central african republic on tuesday journalists organizations have called on the un to get involved in the investigation the three reporters were killed in an ambush by unidentified militia fighters near the town of sea boot people in moscow have been paying tribute to the slain man laying flowers at a memorial or two from the maria for notion i spoke earlier to my colleague jacqueline vogel what we know so far. what more do we know at this point well definitely a tragic incident and certainly a great loss for all journalistic community first of all what we know so far officially is that they're dead bodies were discovered by u.n. peacekeeping person our some twenty five kilometers north of the central city of
2:42 am
steamboat and was on the road an abandoned car was also discovered at the same with multiple gunshots say yes it looks like the crew was attacked by a large group of gunmen we do not know right now who they were and we also know that the driver of that car a local man according to some reports he was recommended to the team by u.n. office and central african republic so by this incident we know that he's currently called in with investigators we also hear that the crew didn't have press accreditation say officially they did have the right to work in central african republic as a journalist and we. also hear from the russian embassy that they were not notified about their arrival and we hear from the russian officials that their buddies expected to return to their homeland to russia this saturday has there been any indication as to why they were killed they don't discuss who is behind the killing
2:43 am
of three russian journalists but more interested in what their assignment on the ground was shortly after the news about the death we started receiving unconfirmed reports we're heard that from journalists friends and colleagues they were filming a documentary about mercenaries in central african republic possibly. to russia some would go further calling a group name known as wagner although these were all come from the poor and the media. personalities. started using this information as if it was the matter of fact and it created kind of like hysteria but not about the killing the terrible incident that happened in central african republic but about the russia's involvement in the conflict there and illegal personnel there and russia's foreign minister is a reaction to these claims by reading here all of this nonsense about an
2:44 am
investigation into russian mercenaries in the central african republic there is nothing sensational about the presence of russia's military instructors in the country no one covers this based on the location of the bodies the russian journalists were not heading to an area where the instructors work this march russia officially and five military and one hundred seventy civilian instructors to central african republic apart from being one of the poorest countries on earth definitely on the african continent unstable place is divided between different. so it's like very very dangerous place and this was the reason behind the invitation of russian experts to the republic i think this russian ministry. is here trying to say that this is not the news that's quite fair because the news is the killing of the three russian journalists and we're we have to wait and see what the investigation finds out. the increasingly volatile
2:45 am
atmosphere in one deprived paris a neighborhood is forcing a migrant support group to end its work their volunteers say the situation in russia pale has become explosive and that they no longer feel safe where the past two years the group has distributed more than two hundred fifty thousand meals and supplies to needy people in the area or he's been skee picks up the story for. him paris is a gritty eighteenth hunty small town hundreds of migrants clustered together on the streets they gather here as it's where food is distributed by a local for the interior group but after twenty minutes solidarity me call wilson look set to close its doors saying they just can't take anymore all sorts of food it's become more tense we're serving around seven hundred brakeless every day to migrants who live in terrible conditions they have nothing not even tends to sleep on the ground and sometimes woken up by the police in the morning they kick them
2:46 am
and use tear gas to move them so when they come to us they're stressed the nervous twice last week we had to stop serving food to let the tension calm down this is something new for us so yes we're stopping. migrants of been expelled by police in this area many times philip tells me that despite this they come back and every time they do this situation becomes even more desperate from the beginning our mission was to serve hot drinks and bread and we've done this for twenty months every day during the last month we started questioning our mission as we day one i volunteered to be put in danger. who is to blame for this situation for not giving enough help to the migrants on the streets is this the mayor of paris is this the government of france. for us is both the state is responsible for people on the streets for taking in migrants at the same time the authorities in paris are restricting access to water taps in the summer is irresponsible they also have
2:47 am
a responsibility towards the miners their miners who sleep on the street and in the camp are drug addicts me the state nor the parish administration is doing its job. with the authorities not providing enough support the volunteers are giving up just a stone's throw away from he is an area known locally as crack hill that's also made things worse for those working to help the migrants felipe says that some of the drug addicts are also coming for food handouts and causing problems. the drug addicts are evacuated recently but nothing was done to help them and they came back to it now come for a break for this too it creates additional tension they're aggressive including towards the volunteers so this is an explosive situation. while we're recording the interview meet the food distribution point two and you take individual approach us move you guys saw a lab only did the steps to your reality when i was there i was the only damn man i
2:48 am
was you know so basically. the guy that some of the people of the streets are very uncomfortable with that building we're not filming it he says but they just aren't comfortable with the cameras i believe that you typically see this in the past. i think. more people are coming nothing is being done about it and there are the drug addicts as you saw it's impossible to film people here it's becoming more difficult than before we think the situation is explosive and it puts is in real danger. by shutting up shop so i. know that they are cutting off a vital lifeline for fun ripple nicholas but as well as doing it out of concern for their volunteers they hope the move to prompt the authorities to stop ignoring the plight of migrants and force them to take action. ski altie
2:49 am
paris. does it for me i'll be back in about thirty one minutes and some change for get your news there were certain. exists is harlan kentucky. loyce it was very funny using. a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal was just said. that i was alive to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger
2:50 am
that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. fast guys are financial survival guide liquid assets not those that you can convert into caste quite easily. to keep in mind though as a tremendous pleasure to watch record. time after times are we going underground on the day britain's biggest manufacturing employer the defacto taxpayer funded b.a. systems report financial results bolstered by lucrative contracts with those bombing yemen in the world's worst humanitarian crisis coming up in the show i'm
2:51 am
talking about the budget. try but warming villages with nuclear armed prime minister imran khan shoot down nato nations drones flying over this country we investigate the future of a china backed pakistan with former minister of state and chairman of the pakistan border investment zamindar and all the de other succeeds a year's worth of its resources in the shortest period of time in history we speak to the president of the global footprint network mathis we're going to go about the biggest liberal ponzi scheme in this solar system from the church headlines this is a promised to slander of milk and honey but to become the land of trends for all this of all coming up in today's going underground but first i will britain respond to the political victory of pakistani cricketing legend imran khan good today's financial results from the ukase be a systems provide a clue. drama she's one of the most advanced projects that.
2:52 am
are a special capabilities. britain has been supplying intelligence from for our a.f. bases in yorkshire cambridge lincolnshire and northamptonshire to facilitate drone strikes on khan's country according to amnesty international the usa says german strikes are vital tool in its fight against the taliban and al qaeda in the pakistan tribal areas for joining us gonna stand it considers them a reliable and precise method. for targeting and killing insurgents. when an. actor he. has a good amnesty has long been asking for a public inquiry into british involvement in the u.s.a.'s drone assassination program in pakistan and it's something a prime minister imran khan would look set to show interest in killing people by these drones basically sitting on
2:53 am
a screen and eliminating people. dehumanizing them treating them. as if you know from some other planet not giving them a basic right of proving their innocence i mean it violates all norms of justice imran khan has even threatened to shoot down the drones of data nations and while the u.k. aided drone assassinations to raise amaze former leader david cameron blamed pakistan we want to see a strong and stable and a democratic pakistan but we cannot tolerate. any sense the idea that this country is allowed to look both ways and is able in any way to promote the export of terror while u.k. tory politicians blame the two hundred of millions strong nuclear armed nation of pakistan for promoting terror pakistan has allied itself with russia but as we have to look at now should you go to see if we can stand them you know it's working for
2:54 am
. me there's a bus that you're going to and it's that used during the last two years. engagement the district level has been of great value to us and we valued this pollution ship very deeply it's not just we are in bricks that pakistan is militarily allied to it's also the c. communist china the increasingly tough talk by the trumpet ministration to pakistan seems to have pushed pakistan to concede more to china according to the latest information china is likely to bear a joint. and afterwards based ads of on in pakistan felicity the border has been touted as second mickey being in a foreign country after the birth it has supported so how close will pakistan's ties to china and russia be what now for pakistan rule by human cohen joining me is a former pakistani minister of state name some into name thanks so much for joining us from san francisco how closely tied to brics will the future of pakistan be
2:55 am
under him run can or perhaps any prime minister i believe that the days will be close and will be growing closer because i'm just not sure graphical proximity and opportunity especially was great with china b. . and you know what the largest economic opportunities of our time economy which is going to grew from twelve trillion dollars to forty trillion dollars over the next twenty five years is a massive growth opportunity to sort of plug into and be a part of so i there's no two ways about it this is one of the big economic opportunity for pakistan yaks speaking to you from britain we're talking about managing decline arguably post bricks of least that's what the remain is a saying but you mention chinese and a bit like imran khan yourself imran khan mentioned china seven times in the context of lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty which of course has occurred under the government of the communist party in beijing i mean it has to be the clear driving better that's the reason why i came to garden because i clearly see
2:56 am
pakistan as a country with a lot of potential and there's no reason why that as you know we're twenty percent or more of your population is below the poverty line that has to change and we're going to live these people are about it and we have great economic potential we have all the resources it's just been bad management over the years lot of challenges in our many wars on our borders and with you know with our neighbors and we are now ready for change we are ready for prosperity ready for. a country with which we realize its potential so see this is perspective a finance minister talked about as being it as i do ma says when you were a minister and when you were in the trade department eight billion dollars fled to dubai. things are going or be wrong in pakistan or that may be true but there was a you know invest you know it takes a long time for a country to get its credibility right for many years the whole war in afghanistan
2:57 am
i was affected by bucks i was badly bullied by you know incidences of terrorism and we were probably the biggest we were huge. six or sixty thousand people lost lives in pakistan right so it took many years to clear that out to make pakistan a safe place and it's happened now is much safer is safer than the united states for that matter right. in terms of violent deaths so we've done the hard work moving towards a peaceful environment and i think iran's job will be to to make sure that we and we are able to and he said it clearly that he wants to have peace with its neighbors it is important or before this new party reamer and cons came about britain which presumably wants to benefit from this growth that you have five percent apparently now it blame pakistan for promoting terror we have david cameron to resume it maes old boss as saying that and obviously britain has been providing
2:58 am
intelligence on bombing your country how well will britain be placed in this future of yours we've been part of the commonwealth. we have a long history with with british and and cross ties with it so we don't you know we really want to focus on building a country right and creating prosperity for our people and treat is going to be important we want investment from britain lot of you know britain is a very large a buck a sunday sport of there and what. we think the biggest opportunity for us is to tap into our diaspora that a man million people of bucks on the region outside of pakistan that's a massive market option generally and many of them have done really really well so not only do they bring up. but also nor how to be able to do grow this economy in the new digital age i should say america and said something like that to me when i interviewed him but he also said in the same breath that britain shouldn't be
2:59 am
involved in the drone killing of people in pakistan do you think imran khan will make britain's involvement in the drone campaign in pakistan an issue in terms of any trade like an exit for us or pakistan making sure that we have a country which is at peace with the self and its neighbors is extremely important and whatever it takes to make that happen is what iran commies should do right is make sure the box on is a safe place. and. i think that's what's his focus is going to be you can't keep bombing people right and think that they're done to peaceful people it just. i'm a person who clearly believes that we need to be able to negotiate we need to find a settlement and solve the problem rather than you know squash it being a systems is one of britain's biggest companies you're saying britain could make more money using its diaspora trading with budgets than than building weapons to
3:00 am
use against practices. absolutely not pakistan it has a g.d.p. of about three hundred billion dollars i'm sure that all the next twenty years you can record ruble it is very easy to upgrade the country with a very low base you know. we are the fifth largest country in the world it does the barclay should but we have what is your point three percent of the local g.d.p. share which is a bear a very small study from bay low point and and it's again it's easy to now build upon it but it has to be said nato nation media are saying and i suppose it's your legacy is being in senior positions there in the government it's a basket case economy and brics nation media are all talking about the possibility of new trade ties and and link ups in the business world where why the mismatch i don't think there's a mismatch i think we know boss could guess it just takes a long time to really you know get your act together things started proving quite a bit over the last few years you moving in the right trajectory.
