or broadcast in one direction or city as most of the season and commercial incheon thomas are glad to have you with us french opposition leader and former presidential candidate. has hit a back at suggestions he is part of a russian online dissent from ation campaign hey stupid spook i'm not a russian but it's just me who tweets against you all right sean appeared on a list of accounts showing increased twitter traffic in the wake of the assault scandal surrounding president former bodyguard he showed events he explains why some people drew the link to russia. well a huge outcry here in france so many people on twitter who 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 banal

a 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 bought numbers twitter account 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 votes but russian votes not so though says e.u. just in the mation law which says that the study wasn't even about russian bots 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 exploded 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 boats of which thousands of people appeared on a list now the. 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 sphere 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 letting the truth get in the way of telling a story. meanwhile the belgium based ngo which carried out of the research has said it gets financing from twitter to put that into context for you last autumn twitter banned our t.v. from advertising on the platform and then diverted the revenue it had received from the channel two research on how the network is used 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 they are rushing through to try to satisfy the politicians on both side of the atlantic's they see this as 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 hundred twenty five thousand euro to the. countermeasures let's say to challenge the russian 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. the suicide of an anti immigration politician in the netherlands has caused a nationwide shark before her death villi dil in claiming that she had been kidnapped and raped by a group of muslims in our europe correspondent peter oliver has the story tributes and messages of condolence to the family of former dutch party for freedom council of illy 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 clothes and. i in the house i absolutely. i in the video miss deal claimed she was attacked by what she calls

forces on. the scene in protesters the. the policy protesters have been burning tires you played the video in of days really snipers that there israeli forces continue to use live ammunition or scores of other kids have been injured at least five are in severe critical condition into what i saw today and according to all of the injuries. i have to tell you that. your guys are being thrown today is a new complication on the palestinians palestinians are complete is advocating summing up the twentieth friday of the great march of return a palestinian prime minister was killed while one hundred ten were injured forty the french yuri's were treated in the medical point seventy were treated in and the hospitals and transferred directly to the hospitals where their injuries were not

this easy five paramedics were injured in palestinian journalist was also injured and then. numbers dates and show and indicate how the put the israeli forces continue their violence against the palestinians for the twentieth friday live ammunition and tear gas have been filling the place sends the sense 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. an 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. his treatment of the opposition labor party leader. faced constant questioning over

alleged to anti-semitism in his party supporters say the b.b.c. has taken a much softer approach to conservative politician boris johnson is under fire for an article mocking 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 only forty per pence

a day here is some of the reaction we got earlier on our to you kate. 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. has 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 results certainly on bricks it withers on climate change they have tended towards 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 is 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 poorly in the i think there's no question that it's 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 the reason is director of communication you look at craig all of 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 we stay admit it 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 well i'm going to use i want the melody receive. us

senators are accusing their government of being complicit in civilian deaths in yemen by arming saudi arabia and have 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 lie 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 now please be warned what we're bound to show you is upsetting to watch and

a strike occurred in the north of the country which is under the control of with the rebels saudi arabia launched an intervention against them in two thousand and fifteen now the latest u.n. data says the majority of people killed in the conflict died as a result of coalition air strikes that's over ten thousand fatalities in an official statement of the saudis defended the attack accusing the rebels of using children as human shields. to talk saying today is a legitimate military action conducted in conformity with the international humanitarian law to target the militants responsible for planning and targeting civilians which resulted in killing and injuring them. united states is by far the largest supplier of weaponry to the saudis and also provides targeting assistance for riyadh for 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 a means oneself so you're right it should be completely different right and so it should be in british politics like. we should be. written rather than. i salute the should join us. and demand. and demand the solution will generally at least be sharp change. in terms of. the way things are done the my school of the school the coalition reason why don't the other one. is stuck you know the potential reach. of. the russian prime minister dmitri medvedev has warned that if the

u.s. 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 agents i guess report all and his daughter in britain back in march yes there was 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 implements in either economic political or if necessary any other measures. or 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 or. takes a look 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's us welcome the united sanctions of america well russia is being 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 say script paul and his daughter where are you getting the conclusion that for she's behind the screen poisoning i will 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 analysis of the 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 i see is a quote 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 averages the 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 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 groups organizing an attempted coup. you. sooner or later the united states will make a choice either turkey or good either the coup blooded terrorists or turkey a country of democracy. or how about the american officials who backs they are a an extremist group in which i have been a coke who bombs the headquarters of the islamic republic party there is a viable opposition to the rule of the. now an opposition 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 say that group later form into al-qaeda the people we are fighting today we funded twenty years ago so

america dealing with a spot in 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 u.s. medal 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 as their currency the turkish lira slides roughly downward against our very strong dollar many a moon now b. twenty percent and still fifty percent our relations with turkey are not good at this time. this comes amid a growing standoff between turkey and the us 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 for purchase of

russian missile defense systems and also there are conflicting strategies in against islamic state in syria and iraq. u.s. terror sent to the turkish lira into freefall and the president has urged citizens to defend their currency. change the euros the dollars and the gold that you are keeping but if you will pillows into live banks this is a domestic and national struggle. now the turkish lira has lost half its value against the dollar since two thousand and seventeen and as you heard president to want as urged turkish savers to sell their u.s. dollars but turkey analysts say eight ten cohen believe these people are unlikely to heed that call. only in two weeks the turkish lira last experience 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 the interests and to have profits of course in the social media we have also seen some propaganda videos. president said and many people even burned their dollar banknotes so we can not talk about a uniform. form 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. u.s. or democrats have come up with a plan to tackle so-called fake news on facebook or to. comment. 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 is 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 analytic 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 have 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 a bomb it seemed had a solution in place a facebook application more than one million a bomb about 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 the. 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

side should we assume that 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 this 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. large crowds have gathered in the romanian capital calling on the government to resign.

was the protest was triggered by a new law reducing the punishment for abuse of office thousands of romanians living abroad returned home for the rally in bucharest many say they are unable to find work in their own country due to corruption and bribe taking by officials riot police were deployed and at least one person was arrested. by the dozen for me i will be back with headlines in about thirty two and a half minutes you're watching arch international glad to have you with us.

but this isn't that you have to give up what this is if they need it yeah. i. also do so it says famous twelve o five pounds over the world. but most private of it is because i was deaf was zero. zero zero. this is my love hate relationship with the united kingdom. and the love it because it's shambolic and fraudulent. and i buy the cow to hate it because thousands tens of thousands of people have their lives destroyed by r.b.s. .

this is. the church secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it would literally like to call this to do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not know the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end of that film as the i intend to include at tuesday's yet in. this. case felt.

we have no idea what so if he's doing on her vacation but she will be back on air in september. oh i'm just so sophie shevardnadze the digital currency bitcoin once a toy for computer nerds is now storing and prized triggering a new gold rush is it just another bubble or the glimpse of their radically new financial future i ask rick. because in cash and founder of the swedish pirate party. the new big cool increase is making people rush into cryptocurrency investment with the digital money skyrocketing value putting it into the spotlight but aside from causing a new gold rush.
