when the jihadi advance so un peacekeepers flee into any fourteen they've been the only fools to try and ease tensions considering the volatility of the situation here at the golan heights the u.n. made a big point out of establishing a presence here well speaking about this particular checkpoint they were driven out by terrorists al nusra front and i still are the two main factions that briefly gained a foothold here and well this area doesn't need any more hostility there's plenty of it here already after all the front line was just over there with again. holding some territory and it is. doesn't need terrorists on its border and its jet points begin right over those mountains now at least the un patrols can begin again with

the help of some russian backup and we should. get it together with a un representative we conducted an initial patrol during which we checked with the safety of the roads are still there but the main problem is that there are lots of explosives where we've sent all the information we have to the un peacekeeping force for analysis to reconstruct you in checkpoints the russian military police are helping the un mission to inspect the u.n. checkpoint in. the golan heights may still be territorially be in a state of flux but at least the terrorists have finally been repelled and the un peacekeepers can get on with the job and we've done of reporting from the golan heights in syria for r.t. . we asked the un mission to comment on the situation it confirmed it's implementing a gradual return to the golden heights by we're staying with the region here on the program russia's ambassador to the u.k.

in the left syria together we did you just wanted to see no one not to help the. syrian government they say they had the choice because they were afraid of reprisals by the syrian government is not true the the let's see the the. you know lead down the weapons they are not afraid in the world here on the freight i think this is some kind of a contradiction in this. another social media ban has been imposed latin american news channel telos has been removed from facebook for the second time this year and the outlet is not the only one artist on your hawkins' looks at the recent string of bad. news outlets activist told radio host and social media platform for violating terms of use some familiar nowadays just this one scandal over suspending or banning subsides another one bruise this
2:07 am
time it's the latin american news channel tell us stood at spin on the receiving end of a facebook blackout and not for the first time back in january this year the news outlet temporarily disappeared from facebook allegedly due to an internal mistake on the platform today though things got more serious. your beach tellus or english has been removed for violating our terms of use telus sewer say they received no further explanation of why exactly their page was removed they see this incident as no coincidence but rather a pattern of censorship by social media giants now in case you're wondering this isn't a case of deja vu just last week in fact info was an alternative controversial media platform run by alex jones was also banned by you tube our poll and facebook for violating policies and terms of use now what do these have in common an independent platform criticized for spreading all right conspiracy theories and
2:08 am
a left leaning channel publicly funded by but as well or cuba bolivia. and seemingly diametrically opposed views the answer is both a critical of the american establishment war lobby and global regime change both have now faced bans during the battle against fake news conducted by facebook along with its new partners such as the digital forensic research lab now this is an offshoot of the atlantic council think tank in turn a member of the atlantic treaty organization although formally independent of nato and washington openly sharing both their values and speakers fighting fake news is a noble cause terms of use by platforms individually violate them and expect a ban increasingly though the question will be asked is it violating social media policies or violating mainstream consensus and prevalent narratives that can really
2:09 am
land you in hot water we asked facebook to comment on why it banned telos or tatyana or her english multimedia director says facebook's decision is certainly alarming. but not aware and we didn't get an explanation we got an e-mail yesterday afternoon saying that our page was removed and this e-mail said that we were violating the terms of use but it didn't we don't consider that an explanation since we didn't get get a reason or we would they didn't explain how in what way we violating supposedly violating the terms of us not a specific content that we put not a specific article or video nothing was hope it's a mistake we're still hoping for them to apologize for this mistake but if it's not we're going to prepare a response and we do think it's alarming and a bit scary that facebook could be yeah place where.
2:10 am
some voices are not allowed we we're not doing anything different from what we have been doing since the beginning of her english in facebook so we were aware of the terms of use when we started it and we were not motivating this terms and we would like to change the way perspective is and the coverage we do for this is not an end. and it's not just facebook that's on a banning spree twitter his latest blocking measure targets the accounts of libertarian commentator devin mcinnes and his organization the proud boys a proud boys is a group that operates in the u.s. the u.k. kind of and australia it advertises itself as a collective all of western chauvinists some of its members took part in the notorious old right rally and shot at spilling over twenty seventeen but since then it's tried to distance itself from the old right. now the proud boys came ahead of
2:11 am
the out of a story of the shadows for a rally with twitter saying the organization has violated its policy on violent extremist groups. debated the issue with our guests as far as it come in right before the unite the right really the only thing coincidental with that having to do with anything having to do with the proud boys is the fact that gavin and all the probably sides actually disavowed the unite the right rally just like we did last year i think it might just be coincidental that it was shut down after that unless of course somebody didn't want people to know that there are reasonable people in the new right who are saying we don't want anything to do with that kind of racist nazi dreck which we don't well i feel like the poor hateful boys are they've got their website and they can espouse whatever going to hate speech they want you have not my argument off we don't like them so i just feel that i'm sorry ok. so thousands of problems or there is nothing for you to offer to the american public you're a you're
2:12 am
a very fringe extreme fringe group that espouses hate and you can do whatever you want to twitter as far as i'm concerned i don't i don't follow you i don't want to be by you twist this decision somewhat surprising given that it cools power points a violent extremist grant that they themselves have denied for years connections to white groups or any extremist movement so is activism now considered extremism is this that she went to beijing hanau we would like to have no hate speech no racism no divisions in our country and they the divisions in our country and the racism do not come from twitter they do not come from facebook they do not come from our email and such and i believe that the poor racist boys should have their website i mean i believe that there should be on twitter i
2:13 am
believe they should have facebook's who gets to pick out who gets to pick out what hate speech is who gets to pick out what racism is how come one thing is racist for one people but it's not racist for another people how come one thing could be hate speech here but it's not hate speech over here it does your privilege and we thing to add to fight hate speech evolution why is it i write right i got it on privilege the only thing to fight racism hate speech is more speech and better speech. so he has slapped tire of hikes on certain american products including cars and alcohol the took us five president to a cold it responds to us attacks on took his economy on the principle of are surprised to see the sox rates for embrace of silicon products have been increased to counter the us administration's conscious attacks on our economy. this comes just days after washington imposed additional tariffs on turkish steel.
2:14 am
duties have been raised twenty percent while turkish steel is now subject to a fifty per cent increase tariff it has sent the turkish lira plummeting in value hitting a record low against the u.s. dollar and stocks tumbled as well the state department spokesperson was pressed by journalists on the consequences of the tariffs for the rest of the world. a financial issue between the united states has now ruled emerging markets we've had everything from mexico to india currencies for more of the developing world of scene affected by this and what stage does one stop this and say that you know the the rest of the world doesn't sink to the bottom of the economic part well i think what we're seeing overall and i'm not in an economist of course but economists would certainly tell you that what is happening in turkey goes far beyond the united states and united states recent policies in. a car crash outside
2:15 am
london's parliament is now being investigated as a terror attack and the driver was detained after he arrived into pedestrians and cyclists only on tuesday morning warning you may find the following images disturbing and your video has about online in which you can more or less see the car crashing into security barriers after injuring people police said the driver was alone and no weapons were found inside. was. the suspect has been identified as a twenty nine year old british citizen is not believed to have been previously known to produce intelligence and police are now searching three addresses in the u.k. in relation to the incident. so the german left party leader is launching a new movement to protect the rights of those unheard of by the government and that
2:16 am
story and much more just. on saturday irresponsible lobbyist accessing unlimited credit from an irresponsible federal reserve bank you have the infinite regress that you saw with money starting in the one nine hundred seventy s. and now insurance companies selling insurance on insurance contracts on insurance contracts on insurance contracts with another bureaucrat another bureaucrat is infinite regress. seems wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any beliefs yet to shape
2:17 am
out these days comes to advocate and indeed from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. thanks joining us today here on the leader of germany's left party is launching a new political movement cold stand up one of the new groups self-proclaimed goals is to defend the interests of those who feel ignored by the current government. yeah. because it's going in
2:18 am
the yard the hood. moves all comes over from. the south from the white. the group will be looking to rally a left wing voters and pressured german politicians to create a left wing government stand up is also looking to win over so-called protest voters and those who strongly oppose the way germany is heading today its leader sorrow of fact is against the current administration's open borders policy and says that migrants unlimited access to germany's labor market must come too and. there have to be open borders for the persecuted but we certainly can say that anyone who wants to you may come to germany claim social benefits and look who work it's detached from reality according to a new poll as many as thirty four percent of german voters could vote for the new movement if elections were to take place and we heard from a german m.p.
2:19 am
who has pledged support for the new movement. yeah that will happen we have a exchanging operation especially with bernie sanders but people in the united states where against hillary clinton they missed out on getting the democratic nomination because of clinton treatises and we are also in close contact with the supporters of jeremy orban the momentum movement in the united kingdom clean home also with the complain of france's john that's munch on who got almost twenty percent in the last century addition whilst ultimately. the left are split and weak not just in germany and the whole of europe but we do have a trend towards the right we would like to combine forces to make a progressive breakthrough if when you look at polling there's always a majority that want a better paid better pension who are not confrontational foreign policy regarding russia and are also against nato expansion or consider through on top of them
2:20 am
a political direction and policy of. the us after. we have to present something different from the alternative or germany party in the last two or three years as b. day the greens or done didn't show a successful strategy for doing that and comforting a rather the opposite is getting stronger and there is a chance for them becoming the people's party which is absurd the left should return to its core ideals and goals social questions should be the keystone us i applaud. also shot at by fluting integration policy has pretty much rendered the minimum wage to what was once a one euro job and only brings eighty cents is that while the issues here take people in you need to ask them somewhere that there are a lot of people under the stress created by the social situation those people need to be able to earn a wage that lets them live in dignity if this is not happening it's understandable
2:21 am
that people become angry and lean towards right in the party it is there. people that we will be reaching out to my the sake of our democracy. democrats seem to be falling out of love with capitalism with recent polls showing they are now more positive about socialism killam up and looks at what's behind the trend. polls show that among democratic voters socialism is becoming more popular than capitalism according to the latest poll less than half of democrats have a favorable view of the economic system long considered to be the american way meanwhile fifty seven percent of democrats have a positive view of socialism which until recently was a forbidden word in american discourse this is what leftist intellectual slob voice is easy access about the trend not only some go to law with a list. but the system but only so many meters do this they need to let drugs and someone kill one each. why do you just put
2:22 am
it a war mish dead americans. doesn't function the way you people expected. now this shift in views is manifesting itself with the rise in popularity of figures like veteran senator bernie sanders and progressive candidate for congress alexandria a kazuo cortez now many voices are speaking up and saying that the new trend could be disastrous for the democratic party but the shift among the liberal rank and file continues.
2:23 am
to do you know how china's so why are democrats losing faith in capitalism we decided to talk to people here on the streets of new york and find out now a new poll came out that showed that only forty seven percent of democrats favor cap. but alyssa what's driving this shift in public opinion. drop i think a lot of it has to do or trump because of his policies i think we're going further to the left than we should be going because of his policies i see him as being overly wealthy overly influential and kind of not allowing the little guy to succeed which i see capitalism as being the way that they're portraying capitalism in the media now is sort of standing up shining a bad light on it if you like trump is causing this rise in socialist sentiments among democrats. i wouldn't say so i think he he's not really influencing it that
2:24 am
much i feel like you know the health care system especially the driving costs and even if the affordable care act's this is not working out well. now among those who favor socialism the top priority concerns seem to be affordable health care and education however trump's embrace of all things capitalist seems to have an influence on those who are now changing their understanding of the word socialism today seems to embody sets of programs by which the government helps regulate and in some instances run and pay for social programs focused on basic population needs in health education housing and employment and then he came to this scene you know to show the american day. but i don't know if you know even more of the democratic establishment than i do often to the fullest and then they go to bed i
2:25 am
think yes they should look at the dead of own don't look at you bob it did i don't think you know how they don't ignore the dia more or less the m d guy because he's seeking out pro but he's saying to us and he's moving until one of them so won't and so now they are the bane prize so whether it's trump or just overall dissatisfaction resentment against what has long been considered to be core american values is growing up and r.t. new york. italian media say the death toll in a major motorway bridge collapse in the northern italian city of genoa has risen to thirty one citing italy's interior ministry a local officials though still say twenty six people were killed with dozen injured a recovery operations are still ongoing.
2:26 am
