are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international and john thomas are in glad to have you with us now french opposition leader and former presidential candidate. who has hit back at suggestions he is part of a russian online dissin for mission campaign. hey stupid spook i'm not a russian but it's just me who tweets against you well appeared on a list of accounts showing increased in twitter traffic in the wake of the assault scandal surrounding president micron's former bodyguard archie show dubinsky explains why some people drew the link to russia. well a huge outcry here in france so many people on twitter thought that they had been labeled as russian that's because they were named in a twitter list which looked at the number of people who had tweeted about the

banality skate scandal here in france some of them even decided to use it as a badge of honor and actually added they. bought their russian numbers to their twitter accounts now this came out after the banana scandal which was a former security aide to president mike brown who was filmed actually assaulting protesters doing may day now because of that many people were treating about it and an engineer based in belgium e.u. this information lab actually decided to analyze the people who were tweeting about that well they published a list of the accounts that it tweeted the most about this particular scandal and the mainstream media here in france immediately decided that the frenzy around that scandal had been caused by not just any boats but russian boats not so those says e.u. just in the mation law which says that the study wasn't even about russian boats we

did not modify the conclusions of our study a lot of media reported that we studied and identified that there had been russian meddling that the russian state orchestrated interference in the banal a scandal we never said this the fact that. the government spokesperson immediately excluded this for political ends created this sort of hype there was never the object of our study well the engineer even had to step in releasing a press release to say that the mainstream media here in france had completely misinterpreted their report and it was not about the supposed russian votes of which thousands of people appeared on the list now these. they released included thousands upon thousands of people from france who had been tweeting about the banality. and they were around four million tweets what it showed is that only a tiny fraction around six hundred fifty accounts from people which they described

as being in the russian style that is basically journalists like myself who work right see my colleagues and people who have perhaps retreated contant in the past never did it say that we were russian but of course the mainstream media felt that somebody had to be to blame for this candle which president himself described as being a storm in a teacup and what's the point in that in the truth get in the way of telling a good story. meanwhile the belgium based ngo which carried out the research has said get financing from twitter to put that into context last autumn twitter banned from advertising on the platform and then diverted the revenue it had received from r t two research on how the network is used to during elections twitter has also decided to take the one point nine million dollars we are projected to have global advertising and donate those funds to support external research into

the use of twitter in civic engagement and elections independent journalist luke rivera believes the researchers are working under political pressure. i think that rushing through to try to satisfy the politicians on both side of the atlantic's they see this is a problem they have to deal with it but for them freedom liberty on twitter is for twitter the best thing for their uses so they had to they were under pressure from the european union in this case state they had to do something and they dedicated one hundred twenty five thousand euro to the us of countermeasures let's say to challenge the russians this information you could call it the embryo of the propaganda machine of the european union and i'm sure many people many national politicians when they hear about this trip the story are really furious that's the

reason behind this. new suicide of an anti immigration politician in the netherlands has caused a nationwide shark before her death a village dill claimed she had been kidnapped and raped by a group of muslims in our europe correspondent peter out as a story. tributes and messages of condolence to the family of former dutch party for freedom council of billy dale have been flooding in from across the political divide in the netherlands the fifty three year old former representative in the hague took her own life on wednesday after publishing a video on social media in which she claimed to have been the victim of a kidnap and rape back in twenty seventeen ordered by a political opponent. was christian crustal entire issue stock was. in the video misdeal claims she was attacked by what she calls a muslim gang on the orders of

a former political colleague who had since converted to islam the deceased claimed a former party for freedom member who quote hated her intensely in a statement to r.t. the dutch police said that although they had spoken to ms deal no formal complaint was made nor were there satish in details given to warrant starting an investigation the mayor of the hague expressed her sorrow at miss deals death saying her passing touched her very much and that the city had lost a committed and passionate councillor dutch prime minister mark said he was shocked and expressed his sympathy towards her family and party the party for freedom leader good villages said he was lost for words at the death of a colleague he called warm and always particularly willing to help young people in politics. we sent an interview request to two village dills a former colleague who she accused of organizing the sexual assault we are waiting

to hear back from. two palestinians have been killed in the latest clashes on the israel gaza border more than two hundred others were injured and crowds have been rallying at the border fence each friday for the past four months and i so-called great march of return more than one hundred fifty civilians have been killed since then according to the palestinian health ministry the latest a flare up of followed two days of rocket fire between hamas and israel journalist and could are it was at the latest protest. that. let me just. chanting slogans it's really. nothing. and then there. was. this right. thing to do. justice

was. the policy protesters had been burning tires on the bridge and if they started snipers that the israeli forces continue to use live ammunition or scores of one of these have been injured at least five are in severe critical condition into what i saw today and according to the injuries. i have to tell you that tear gas that being thrown today is a new complication on the palestinians palestinians that could lead to suffocate in summing up the twentieth friday of the great march of returned a palestinian prime minister was killed well one hundred ten were injured forty the injuries were treated in the medical point seventy were treated in the hospitals and trying. directed to the hospitals where their injuries were not easy five paramedics were injured palestinian journalist was also injured and the

numbers paint and show went indicates how the israeli forces continue their violence i got the palestinians for the twentieth friday live ammunition and tear gas have been filling the place. since the beginning of the protest protest would continue and the israeli today also used tank shelling on the protesters. the israeli military says its soldiers opened fire in self-defense after protesters threw explosives and successfully infiltrated israel's territory. and online campaign has been launched targeting the b.b.c. the hash tag b.b.c. switch off is now trending in the u.k. with people accusing the corporation of political bias one of the key accusations centers on the b.b.c.'s treatment of opposition labor party leader john record it has faced constant questions over alleged anti-semitism in his party supporters say

that the b.b.c. has taken a much softer approach to conservative politician bourse johnson he is under fire for an article mocking of muslim women who wear face veils comparing them to letter boxes. we put the claims to the b.b.c. which responded by saying it is proud to be the most trusted news provider at a cost to audiences of forty pence a day here's some of the reaction we got earlier on r t u k. they perceive the

b.b.c. is maybe shooting one person what i would say is that it's without question and indeed the b.b.c. is more or less tacitly admitted this on occasion that they have a strong liberal bias in terms of the main issues of our time i think that's absolutely undeniable i mean or whether it's on migration with the results certainly on brooks it whether it's on climate change they have tended towards a certain viewpoint and i would say this without question the fact that that makes it a bias organization the problem with this campaign is it in a way it's beside the point but i would say that the main thing is that the b.b.c. particularly for example since the referendum vote has shown its colors so obviously in so pawling the i think there's no question that is bias the reality is that the b.b.c. if you look at the broadcasters in terms of andrew neil who is the chairman and editor of the spectator magazine you look at robbie gibbs who was the former.

former head of b.b.c. political output is now to resume is director of communication you look at craig oliver who was down in streets under david cameron's chief of communication was actually head of programming at the b.b.c. so this idea this notional idea that the b.b.c. is some left wing entity is plainly false it's actually many times pandering to those on the right who talk about pandering you know there was a case just this week where the b.b.c. actually had to withdraw something which they admitted was biased it was aimed at children fourteen to sixteen year olds and it was about migration the history of migration into britain it was so bias it was almost laughable and the b.b.c. actually had to withdraw it all because there were so many protests peter if you look at your record and you look at the record of your party in the job i'm not talking about odds are you well i'm going to use i want the melody to receive. us

and senators are accusing a very government of being complicit in civilian deaths in yemen by arming saudi arabia that's after a saudi airstrike hit a school bus killing twenty nine children so far the state department has refused to condemn the incident. we called the saudi led coalition to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident you also supply the tremendous amount of weaponry then the data for targeting to the saudis so that. sorry no law wrong is that wrong sorry of these ladies every hear laughing. and that i would refer you to the department of defense that is involved in that but you as you know saudi arabia is an important strategic partner in the region to the united states video of the aftermath shows the extent of the children's injuries please be warned what we're about to show you is upsetting to watch a strike occurred in the north of the country which is under the control of who theory rebels saudi arabia launched an intervention against and then in two

thousand and fifteen the latest un data says the majority of people killed in the conflict died as a result of coalition air strikes over ten thousand fatalities in an official statement the saudis defended the attack accusing the rebels are using children as human shields. the targeting today is a legitimate military action conducted in conformity with the international humanitarian law to get the militants responsible for planning and targeting civilians which resulted in killing and injuring them are the united states is by far the largest supplier of weaponry to the saudis it also provides targeting assistance for riyadh to air strikes and military drills last year saudi arabia spent seven hundred fifty million dollars on training by american specialists which it claimed was implemented to reduce civilian casualties and the second largest arms supplier to the saudis is the u.k. anti-war activist chris nine am believes the british government needs to halt the

exports. there needs to be an inch oneself so you're right it should be completely different right and you really should be in british politics like. you should be. written rather than i salute the should join us. and demand only demanding to know solution more generally that needs to be shot change policy. in terms of it because the way things are done. the coalition reason why don't the trump the other west. is stuck you know the potential reach. of. the russian prime minister dmitry medvedev has warned that if the us adopts a new sanctions bill in september targeting russian banks it will be considered an

act of economic war that's after a separate round of u.s. sanctions was passed this week over the poisoning of former russian double agent sergei screen paul and his daughter in britain back in march he was falsely which the but if it comes to banning banking activities or certain currency use we will be able to call it a declaration of economic war and this will require a reaction by implementing economic political and or if necessary any other measures. of the latest u.s. sanctions will limit investment and exports especially on a number of national security goods including the energy and tech sectors the second wave has yet to be approved by congress it could be much harsher hitting the banking sector and government bonds and he says that it takes a look now at how far the new penalties might go. when it comes to global disagreement sanctions that the u.s. weapon of choice as russia's number two at the u.n. put it let us welcome the united sanctions of america well russia has been on the

receiving end of plenty of them they stem from allegations of election meddling military aggression human rights abuses all cyber crimes take your pick and the latest well that's of the souls we're poisonings washington says it has determined that russia used a military nerve agent to attack form a double agent sic a script paul and his daughter where are you getting the conclusion that for she's behind the screen poisoning i would leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding of the screen but others haven't given any evidence either just various grades of highly likely is highly likely that russia was responsible we do hold russia culpable culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder and this being uncertainty from specialists investigating the case. as another says. p.c. w.'s report i did to find the country. of origin of the agent used

in this attack and we continue to see a sort of a series of corporate baggers here of insinuation that russia is involved which basically is a mood music which is feeding the population in the west with the idea yes it is the russians despite the evidence just a constant constant stream of these. people just accept oh yes it must be the russians therefore that's ok we have asked him point more sanctions it's time that we did get all the evidence but my suspicion is that as i'm going to happen although that seems of little interest to washington which is found moscow guilty slapped it with new sanctions and strangely given it's ninety days to prove it wasn't involved or it will ratchet up the penalties to a whole new level with even talk of branding russia a state sponsor of terrorism that regardless of trump. wanting russia as a partner in his fight against terror and the torso doesn't seem to matter that the u.s. itself has a long history of consorting with groups branded as terrorists for instance

america's support for the girl in movement which techie label to terror group organizing an attempt to. you. sooner or later the united states will make a choice either turkey or either the coup blooded terrorists or turkey a country of democracy. or how about the american officials here they are a extremist group in which i have been a coward who bombs the headquarters of the islamic republic party there is a viable opposition to the rule of the. position is centered in this room. and let's not forget how america stood alongside the afghan wish i had been in its battle against the soviet union only to see that group later form into al-qaeda the people we are fighting today we funded twenty years ago so does america dealing with a spot and groups amount to sponsoring terrorism while the state department has

a good answer for that i will leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding. president trump has announced a doubling of us of metal tariffs on turkey a key nato ally i have just authorized a doubling of tariffs on steel and on the menu with respect to turkey is their currency the turkish lira slides roughly downward against our very strong dollar a mini moon now b. twenty percent and still fifty percent our relations with turkey are not good at this time. all of this comes amid a growing standoff between turkey and the united states washington has been angered by turkey's refusal to release a jailed american pastor accused of involvement in a failed coup two years ago countries are also at loggerheads treaties purchase of russian missile defense systems and also their conflicting strategies in the war

against islamic state in syria and iraq. the us sent the turkish lira into freefall and president to one has urged his citizens to defend their currency. change the euros the dollars and the gold that you are keeping but if you'll pillows into lira banks this is a domestic and national struggle. but turkish lira has lost half its value against the dollar since two thousand and seventeen and as you heard president juan has urged turkish savers to sell their u.s. dollars but turkey analyst in cowen believes people are unlikely to heed that call only in two weeks the turkish lira last you know experienced the devaluation that came to the level of forty percent or more so i don't know if many people even if they really like the president can survive this new friend many people are selling their turkish euros in order to buy u.s.

dollars in order to maximize their interests and to have profits of course in the social media we have also seen propaganda videos. president had once said and many people even burned they are dollar bank. so we can not talk about a uniform. voice from turkey if if i'm not mistaken the bank sector and the construction sector will be affected from this immediately many people may lose their jobs. well the feud between washington and her is starting to affect their military ties within the nato alliance a group of turkish lawyers is seeking the arrest of several u.s. soldiers stationed at the interlake air base in southern turkey the group accuses them of ties with for two of the golan a turkish cleric living in the u.s. who are considers to be a terrorist the lawyers are calling for all flights from the base to be grounded so

a search can be carried out the leader of the group muhammad spoke to r.t. . if it was not we have filed a petition demanding the arrest of twelve members of the u.s. military stationed at the nature run into a base in turkey for ties to fit terrorist organizations we have serious evidence against them even more american officials may face charges the investigation proceeds the united states makes groundless allegation was in opposes arbitrary sanctions in other countries while demanding that the rest of the world comply with . your stomach rats have come up with a plan to tackle so-called fake news on facebook are to go comments. it's ok not as great as we want who might you hear that from a teacher checking your rest say your gym coach boss or a senior technology officer for the democrats talking about how well the likes of facebook are cooperating with their party as if catering to the d.n.c.

was on the network's mission statement what would make mr krikorian happier we would love to do was give every campaign something like the weather report to tell every campaign what is being said on social media in the morning and how they can combat it i'll explain the dems won facebook to look for people who've been fed fakes or propaganda the network should then share that audience with the d.n.c. so that they could feed them what's accurate i.e. the right thing. the democrats are hungry for facebook data this could have been a great moment to remind you of the cambridge analytical data gate if one person if you joined the asp i would not just see your facebook profile i would see all of the facebook profiles of everybody that you're friends with and people had no idea that it was being taken in this way you know that was one massive gate but i'll

remind you of something else the above would seem have a solution in place a facebook application more than one million a boma back because you signed up for the app gave the campaign permission to look at their facebook friends lists in an instant the campaign had to wait see the hidden young vote just a little democrat trick to get hold of some user data for political gain before the two thousand and twelve vote you never heard about it because pretty much no one cared those were the days no hash tag collusion media fallout news anchors didn't go on about a twenty four seven and some people in charge at facebook were just real fans of mr obama facebook was surprised we were able to psych out the whole social graph but they. didn't stop us once they realized that was what we were doing they allowed us to do things they wouldn't have allowed someone else to do because they were on our site should we assume the dems are still on facebook's friend list you know they've been told to sort the russian fakes out and so be has been taken measures they've

just gotten rid of pages followed by hundreds of thousands of people because they're linked to russia i mean facebook's not so sure about that bit we're still in the very early stages of our investigation and don't have all the facts including him maybe behind us but remember for the democrats it's ok not as great as we want and so i'd love to know what type of audiences were these hundreds of thousands of people because we want to talk to them or work with them come on it's just a bit of audience data i have a dozen for me i'll be back in about thirty two and a half minutes with more news you're watching art international stay with us.

backs geysers financial survival. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificial mortgage truth don't get carried away that's cause report . is a. secret indeed because of the priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is a perpetrator is simply moved him to a different spot where the previous standard was not. highest ranks of the catholic church will conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end it has known as the i intend to include at tuesday's out in.

a personal preference ok never trust a thin chef a sober bartender or a drug dealer behind the counter one such drug dealer insists lying to sell the deadliest drug on the market not only mcgill has more. if you're aware of this country's opioid epidemic then you're probably familiar with the huge pharma companies that have pushed these drugs like thirty pharma johnson and johnson in attack wait i think that last one is from the movie office space and their brand of pain relief relies a lot more on relieving stress through physical activity. but one former company you may not have heard of is insists manufacturer of subsists and under the tongue
