right this one thousand nine hundred six what they surely it didn't not need take this long for it to be finalized does i have that as well sure i mean does the fact that the e.u. won't be washed it won't be joined in washington with these sanctions and indeed the you know the blocking statute is that when used before it's going to be quite difficult legally to pull off does that suggest there's going to be some sort of rift on go on between the e.u. and the us which will perhaps get in the way of finding some sort of solution to this crisis. well perhaps you know what one says is rarely what one does i mean it wasn't yesterday or the day before their french economy minister was saying we got america's permission to send five plays to iran now if they're going to run to america for permission to do whatever for them to trade with iran then what does that quite to this whole statute and first place and secondly america i mean why

are they not notice into america practicing extrajudicial status on european countries why are they not standing up for their sovereignty yet along the profits they may have make or lose and that's mind boggling and what is most important to me because i have researched sanctions for a long time i used to think of them as economic war then i used to think it's an alternative to war based in reading a great deal into international law into u.s. law sound and nothing other than terrorism and if you look at any definition of terrorism there well over two hundred of them they've all come to the conclusion of inflicting harm on civilians in a non-combat sense to make a government change its attitude or its you know its behavior and tried actually brags about keeping sanctions even on russia to make russia change its behavior to do iran so they're standing there boasting about acting or you know perpetrating

terrorism and they want to hide it under a fancy u.n. sanction at the name of sanctions and this is not acceptable anybody that goes along with the united states is is is not an accepting an embracing terrorism is a participant of it so i think you know the international community the global community need to look beyond just their pockets beyond what is good for them i mean if we were to have laws then. you can't go as they were fighting terror and become terrorists themselves which is what they are and terrorism like pollution like anything else knows no boundaries you cannot control it and unfortunately russia realizes that what we rationally sanction we already knows i'm. sorry to trouble we are running out of time very interesting to talk to though and waiting to see where this does go if iran does sit at the table eventually with the united states or i as super full rich independent research and write a thanks for your

take on that today. ok so it's an activist american activist can they so in briefly suspended by twitter for mimicking the racist tweets of a new york times journalist and has more on the story. she's been removed from twitter because they say that her tweets violate their rules regarding hateful content candace she's from turning points usa conservative organization in the usa what she did was she took hundreds of tweets from sarah jiang regarding white people she simply changed the target of the tweet from whites to black or jewish when she did this the response of twitter was to shut down her account candace owens says that twitter was right to take down her posts and ban her for making hateful comments regarding black and jewish people she says however the outrage is that sarah jiang was not banned for making these comments about white people on the surface i actually agree with tweeter with twitter assessment i believe that what i

said what i tweeted was wrong you should not be able to tweet about any race or any group that you want them canceled that they should live underground i don't know why suddenly people think that white people are excluded from that scenario that people can't be racist towards white people when in fact they often are the problem with the new york times essentially saying shinning her behavior is that they are signaling to the rest of the world that racism actually is ok as long as you pick the the right race this was candice owens first statement to her followers after the ban twitter not only reinstated her account but actually apologized and said that it was a mistake for her to be banned now mediately there was a firestorm with people pointing to what they see as a double standard one of the ways you go. tweets and replace the points with blank i'm in tweets of bones the twelve hours double standard every

time i see one of these i can't help substitute black for white count is so stupid i will never understand the double standard why it's acceptable to so many now the wikipedia page of the new york times journalist is also in question now the page simply. there is a journalist and has minimal content regarding the controversy surrounding her tweets it appears that there has now been added a small reference to it but sarah jiang on these tweets the controversy surrounding them seems to be quite a big issue we could pedia seems to make efforts to minimize that so it seems that many people are looking at this case and looking at the statements that sarah jiang has made regarding white people and saying that this is a double standard so a lot of debate yet another example of how in the united states when it comes to issues of race and free speech and merican is just don't see eye to eye for news suspension from twitter to convey sevens was confronted on the streets by anti fascist protests this.

was breakfast time with another conservative activist calling when demonstrators gathered near boy they can be seen throwing drinks and shouting stop white supremacy as well as calling them racist police quickly as you can see on the scene . investigative journalist fave lindelof says twitter's attempt to ban speech actually backfired they didn't then one thing they've been another that was just the substitution of words and they look really stupid for doing it so. they made a hash of it since to try and solve the problem that made it worse they really need to think this through and. jump in when there's a screaming match from one side or the other and they'll jump to try to stop it

quickly with a stupid decision they need to really. think through policy and then operate according to a policy that is rational coherent and consistent and that hardly what they're doing right now. social media giants have banned the radio host and conspiracy theories that it shows will have more story right now after this short break. the americans are still in shock they're still dealing with the psychological damage of nine eleven they still need enemies they still unjustified they still are having troubles walking through it meanwhile the rest of the world is. in a world of big partisan. and conspiracies it's time to wake up to

dig deeper to get the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back to our to international social media and tech shunts of. so well known

broadcaster and conspiracy theorists on the same day facebook apple and spotify are all blocked jones they also took down his info wars videos and podcasts well he's still looking strong on twitter and periscope facebook gave up the following statement explaining why they chose to make the bat. we have taken it down for glory find violence and using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender muslims and immigrants which violates our hate speech policies alex jones launched in for wars back in the late one nine hundred ninety s. since then he's become notorious for his conspiracy theories he described nine eleven as an inside job by the american government he also claimed the twenty twelve sandy hook school massacre was a hoax staged by gun control activists his views on muslims and transgender people have also drawn accusations of hate speech and despite the controversies though many people actually oppose the ban i don't support alex jones or what in four wars

produces he's not a conservative however banning him in his outlet is wrong is not just a slippery slope it's a dangerous cliff that these social media companies are jumping off to satisfy c.n.n. and other liberal outlets now that facebook has banned in four wars it will be a worry interesting to see the conservative news outlets and commentators speak out and which ones remain complicit in the silence whatever you feel of in force we are coming for your next in full where is says it has been banned both facebook for and specify his speech regardless of the facts in this case the ability of facebook to censor rival publishers is a global antitrust problem which alone with san francisco cultural imperialism reduces political diversity. as go live to political commentator gina loudon for more on this gina thanks for joining us alex has been around for a while hasn't been for many years he's always been outspoken has always attracted

controversy why do you think namely now all these companies have decided to ban him all at the same time. i don't know but it does seem as though many of these companies as you're just in your previous segment regarding candace owens that a lot of these companies seem to be really going hard against the entire everything center right and beyond that and you know whether or not you agree with alex jones i would be just the same amount of adamant that i think it's bad policy to ban people no matter what really no matter what i mean in the united states we have a concept of free speech that we love very much it means a lot to us now these are private companies they can do what they want to do i'm not saying they shouldn't be able to do this and i'm certainly not saying that government should regulate whether or not private companies can make decisions like this but i am saying i think it's a bad decision and i think that in the long run it will not pay off for these

companies i mean do you think there's actually plays into his hands he tweeted that censorship of info was just vindicates everything we've been saying does this not make him seem like a bit of a mall to just like other controversial figures that have been banned from social media. well i don't know about that but i would say that i imagine this is given him a national and international platform that he wouldn't have otherwise had so i do agree that them banning him has given him a much broader a name recognition and i think probably a broader platform i realize that probably wasn't these companies intentions but i think that's probably how how that ball bounces and that's kind of what i mean when i say that even though i believe that these companies have every right to do to post what they want to post and to ban what they want to ban they are private companies on the other hand i think the free market has a way of sort of taking revenge on this sort of behavior and it doesn't always work

the way these companies may have hoped just starting aside from onyx for a second and looking at the broader concept of law and drawing you know she's got a lot of pretty crazy theories you know chemicals in the water you know turning frogs whatever you know quote out the right but he's not actually threaten anyone he's not inside of volunteers isn't bombing people got it shows a bit of a slippery slope i mean where do we draw the line between having a platform where people can express views however outlandish they are censorship. well i think you take someone like our congressman maxine waters who has basically told people to go weak havoc in the lives of those affiliated with donald trump and we've seen leftists who perhaps are vulnerable for whatever reason act on the things that maxine waters has told them to do i think that's very dangerous and yet none of her platforms have been removed so i think you make a really important point it is it extremely slippery slope i do believe ultimately

that probably some conservative it t. will come up with competitive platforms for the ones that are doing the banning and the censoring and ultimately they will have stiff competition that may even relegate them to you know relative obscurity because of things like this especially if they remain so one sided as you just presented in your last segment with with candace owens political commentator a lot of thanks for joining us here not too good to get your take on this for my pleasure. and it's been one year since we first reported on russian speaking children found in an orphanage in iraq after the military operation against islamic state of the report was launched the campaign to find any relatives of those children several people came forward saying they recognized some of them now this led to those orphans being reunited with their families years after the parents had

left russia to join us so our correspondent jim acosta never spoke to those families to find out whether they've managed to move on after the horrible experience. so. if. they year ago two small sisters high d's and fried t.-mo were brought back to their grandparents who at the time lost all hope of afeard of seeing them again they say they feel safe here in this house the sister salue can behave like any other child of their age despite their traumatic experience their playground is now the two rooms upstairs that were once home for their parents their grandfather on of our

hasn't changed a thing since they left and now the girls play so rounded by things that once belonged to that if a black couple while the oldest sister is open and active might seem as quite close to often seeking the confort of her grandfather. was she doesn't let me go anyway she says had dad also left in the morning and never came back in the evening she tells me how the gas station where he worked was. told me how the planes arrived and then let's. get. on of our often speaks about the day in august twenty seventeen when they discovered their beloved granddaughter source in my life one of them look at us and who's. in may twenty fifteen both of fund our son secretly left russia to join i so his al distraught took his wife and two young daughters and never revealed his true

intentions. that is actually is what about a week after left they. i received a message from my son saying they are in turkey i replied what do you mean in turkey instantly i understood everything and felt terrible this sort of thing happened a lot of the time a lot of young people left some went to join militant groups others went to iraq or syria it's not. often called his father but the last time he got in touch was when the fierce fighting began in moscow a short time after he and his wife were killed in a drone strike leaving and alone weeks later they turned up in an orphanage in baghdad scared and traumatized they were among the group of children who could speak russian ards he reported from that orphanage the story spread and the children were recognized. yes

i remember when the film crew arrived and they showed me the footage i could not believe it i could not believe that it was possible that my girls could come back home. despite the joy of the long awaited reunion this past year has been difficult for the family of our sas it's only now that some of the girls fear is being left behind i do you just keep their knees or remembers how difficult and dangerous it was to go to get water so when they arrived as if they were always thirsty i drank like five liters of water a day only in these past two weeks has not stopped and they no longer wake up at night wanting to drink there are hundreds of families across russia's north caucasus just like and ours searching for grandchildren mainly fear they will never see them again. if there is anything one message one sign that they are alive you have to grab it runaround say ask for help there are good people in the world.

i do not question r.t. reporting from russia's republic of dagestan that was the first in a series of reports on the fate of those russian citizens who left the country along with their families to join islamic state throughout the week we'll bring you other stories of how returnees are adapting to life. that's it for now join us in half an hour for the latest global news headlines.

when lawmakers manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. in the financial merry go round the certainly the one percent. we can all middle of the room say. tomorrow the real news is. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see them.

it's a multinational of a particular kind one you all know some of you may even visit it's present across the globe and on the corner of your street. the catholic church. with its hierarchy. its communication. and its very darkest secrets. to feel a. bit australia seven percent of priests are thought to have sexually abused minors four percent in the united states. we discovered the clergymen found guilty of better phoebe you are still active often in contact with children. nice to internal documents will reveal how church leaders protect priests accused of sexually abusing minors. by sending them from country to country

notably in africa. the investigation into these international exiles took us to cameroon. to argentina. to the united states. to france and to italy. during our travels we stablished this unprecedented map that regarding the transfers of priests involved in cases of pedophilia. deck a man sits in the. play that up with his off by a few the last of all that it was you and i got into a bang up stakes i mean that and the victims number tens of thousands marked with scars for the rest of their lives. our investigations would lead us all the way to pope francis who revealed how when he was charged. when a series he tried to influence the argentine justice department. to sunday that.

conflict was these and these and he kept the past. investigated the mysteries of the church where on the altar of truth god's law seems to prevail over that of many. our inquiry into the international transfers of priests accused of pedophilia begins in the united states. we're in chicago in the shadow of this cathedral to would just have very unique kind of protest. or it's you know it's not all are victims of pedophile priests. in their hands portraits of them as children when they were abused.

in the us sixteen thousand people have already launched complaints for sexual abuse against catholic priests. these victims have joined forces for the annual conference of their support group smout survivors network of those abused by priests. oh everybody. it's great to see you again and i think it looks like we've got a bigger group than last year which is even better news so how many of you here for the first time. thanks to. remember that all of us here are survivors of sexual assaults and betrayals during our youth so if you're looking for an opportunity to share your experience with people who truly get it this is the place. recently the

organization has seen abuse victims from all over the world join its ranks it has become the internationale of those abused by the church. certainly i really am going to do that whether i use. the profession to focus and honest but they gave as he said. something about the response identify. where you're from so yeah we're trying to save it i'm from germany from berlin and you elicits with a very serious. when there was talking to yourself about the from the philippines goes this way i just. three three years i was fifteen years old i was abused as a team for a long period of time it was with an oddly priest agreements jack kennedy in. canada accounts from over fifty countries. at the end of the

conference we talked to one of the activists on barrett doyle. facts reports from victims snap is the only group to been able to establish a list of priests worldwide allegedly involved in pedophilia cases we only include those priests who have been accused of child sexual abuse in a credible document it has to be either a court document that's publicly accessible or a mainstream news outlet it's called father she began her work fourteen years ago sorry refuge in the states these activists publish the names and photos of accused priests on the internet to try to ensure they never come into contact with children again. this is just the letter a and it just keeps going and mouthing the names of the i'm so far so all in the entire database we have forty four hundred names to be of any friends names in the least we do have several so father revoir is

a very troubling case because he abused this young boy and and mario innuit boy did. report the abuse eventuality within statute and. was fled he in one thousand nine hundred three it somehow spirited him back to france where he lives safely now that's not the case of his victim who took his own life in december of two thousand and twelve to avoid justice and one french priest accused of the sexual abuse of minors is thought to have fled to canada and be hiding in france. the story barely seems credible. we contacted the sister of one of the priests presumed victims. speak to us from northern canada in a way territory her brother mario batali committed suicide five years ago he had

filed a complaint against the french priest and she has sent us some old photos of her and her kid brother and one of our riverwalk. modest. he has seen the white house. when he was well that's. why i decided. do you think marty was the only. one.

we get our hands on the warrant issued to the canadian police for father of war's arrest. they've been after the priest since one thousand nine hundred ninety eight . on it we discover the name of mario but also two other boys made anonymous by the police with black lines. a girl of fourteen is also a mom go legit victims. you know the priest is thought to have abused four children . finally in the top left hand corner of vital piece of information the name of the town where the priest is believed to be hiding in france a small town in the bocuse where there's a monastery belonging to his community. so we catch the train to strasbourg.

that's right because in the meantime we've got hold of some internal documents from his community follow revoir has been transferred several times. after up in canada he didn't stay in who was presumed by the canadian police he apparently with next to to run nearly and that's when we lost track of him. but after several months of inquiries during a phone call. a priest from a priori were father of war had stayed unwittingly gave us a new lead. which is to say the priest wanted by the canadian police for one thousand years for sexually abusing four children seemingly lives here in strasbourg among his religious community. from now on. will fill with a hidden camera. no. i don't want to show he was

motioning one. shit.
