4:01 am
traditional parties away from right wing groups. in the whole of europe we do have a trend towards the right we would like to combine forces to make a progressive breakthrough when you look at polling there's always a majority you know who want better pay better pensions and non-confrontational foreign policy regarding russia. to fifteen just off to eleven am here in moscow welcome to the program this is the international un peacekeepers are set to return to the golan heights after the area was liberated from she harvests however the region is still hawksley contested syria and israel have been fighting over it for decades. reports. this city in the golan heights is one of the latest sites where the syrian army has brought terrorist rule to an end.
4:02 am
we were among the first international news crews inside after its liberation just months ago the city of can a tribute i mean it was still under the control of well with most of the infrastructure gone this is the main focus of the syrian government now. liberated but far from safe we weren't allowed for the inside the city if you hardy's have made the mining the area a painstaking process for decades the golan heights have been fought over both syria and israel claims the land is theirs as far as the un is concerned it's definitely syrian but that's food to stop the exchange of fire.
4:03 am
when the jihadi advance so un peacekeepers flee into any fourteen they've been the only force to try and ease tensions considering the volatility of the situation here at 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 this plenty of it here already after all the front line was just over there with again. holding some territory and israel. doesn't need terrorists on its border and its jet points begin right over those mountains now with police the un patrols can begin again
4:04 am
with the help of some russian backup most of. it together with a u.n. representative we conducted an initial patrol during which we checked the safety of the roads 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. checkpoints 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 done of reporting from the golan heights in syria to r.t. we asked the un mission to comment on the situation it has confirmed it is implementing a gradual return to the golden heights. i was staying with the region are russia's ambassador to the u.k.
4:05 am
says that the west's decision to evacuate members of the controversial white helmets rescue group from the country raises questions he was speaking during an interview with r.t. is going underground the white helmets say they save the lives of civilians in the syrian conflict despite numerous accusations of working directly with various terror groups. all right of the white helmet was on this program told me it is the russian warplanes that are killing civilians to resume says the britain is the second biggest humanitarian aid donor in syria of course some of that money going to the white helmets and of course the way helmets claim continued russian atrocities throughout this i think this is a very misleading statement first of all it's very interesting that the white helmets are rated only in the areas where the territory was held by the in the isis they never ought to read it in the areas where there was the moderate opposition or the government forces of that's where the aid was needed to protect people from those islam is forces will from the least of his forces because you
4:06 am
know in the left syria together we did you just wanted to stay no one not to help the the syrian government they say they had a choice because they were afraid of reprisals by the syrian government is not true the the let's see the the. you know who laid down their 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 in latin american news channel tennis or has been removed from facebook for the second time this year and the outlet is not the only one i teach daniel hawkins looks at the recent string of. a news outlets activist old radio host banned by a social media platform for violating terms of use some familiar nowadays just as one scandal over suspending or banning subsides another one brews this time it's
4:07 am
the latin american news channel tell us stood that's been 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 are english has been removed for violating our terms of use telesur a 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 to the 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 and independent platform criticized for spreading all right conspiracy theories and
4:08 am
a left leaning channel publicly funded by venezuela 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 platforms individua. violet and expect a band increasingly though the question will be asked is it violating social media policies or violating mainstream consensus and prevalent narratives that can really
4:09 am
land you in hot water. we asked facebook to comment on why a band tell us are in touch and tell us it was in english multimedia director says facebook's decision is alarming. but not aware and we didn't get an explanation we going to name him 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 were we violating supposedly violating the terms of us not a specific content that we posed 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 ye place where.
4:10 am
some voices are not allowed we were not doing anything different from what we have been doing since the beginning of for for 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 change the way perspective is the cover as we do for this not an inch. it's not just facebook that's on a binding spree twitter is latest block me measure the accounts of libertarian come ahead to govern mcinnes and his organization the proud boys probably as a group that operates in the u.s. the u.k. kind of. advertises itself as a collective over western chauvinists some of its members took part in the notorious old rights rally in charlottesville in america and over twenty seventeen but since then it's trying to distance itself from the old right. now the proud boys came out of the anniversary of the charlottesville rally with twitter now
4:11 am
saying the organization has violated its policy on violent extremist groups. they debated the issue with us as far as a common right before the unite the right rally 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 my argument off we don't like the 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
4:12 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 points of violent extremists create that they themselves have denied for years connections to white groups so any extremist movement saying 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 believe they should have facebook's who gets to pick out who gets to pick
4:13 am
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 privileged only thing to add to fight hate speech evolution what is a right right i got it i'm privileged and i can't fight racism yeah the only one what are you ok only fit to fit you're the most privileged person in this conversation right now i guarantee you the only thing to fiery hate speech is more speech and better speech. so he has slapped tower of hikes on so american products including. the took us by pretty much president called it a response to us a song so he's economy. under the principle of reciprocity the tax rates for imports of certain products have been increased to come to the u.s. administration's conscious attacks on our economy this comes just days after watching him imposed additional tariffs on turkish many of steel aluminum duties
4:14 am
have been raised twenty percent while turkish steel is now subject to a fifty percent increase tire if it is sent the turkish lira plummeting in value hitting a record low against the u.s. dollar and turkish stocks they were all they tumbled as well the state department's spokes person was pressed by journalists on the consequences of the tariffs for the rest of the world the financial issue that we in the united states has now ruled emerging markets we've heard everything from mexico to india currencies more oh the developing world seen a fix about this and what stage does one stop this and say that you know the the rest of the world doesn't think she devoted much of the economic pearl well i think what we're seeing overall and i and i'm not a an economist of course but economists would certainly tell you that what is
4:15 am
happening in turkey goes far beyond the united states in the united states recent policies any harder to update this news just in here on r t according to reports at least forty five security personnel have been killed in afghanistan after the taliban attacked a military camp just north of kabul and the attack comes amid heavy clashes between the taliban and the country's security forces in the city of gaza where militants captured an army compound on tuesday the increased military activity of the taliban of recent days has seen at least one hundred security personnel killed with many injured are also reports of afghan security forces even surrendering to the taliban . the locals who managed to flee the area describe what they've been through. many people including the one of my neighbors were killed there i saw my friend dying and he was among thirteen people including children and women who were killed during an airstrike last night in gaza me province i don't know not at all i have
4:16 am
escaped from gaza province where the fighting is still ongoing it's been about five days since the conflict started but there is no attention from the government and no facilities for the residents the dead bodies are still on the road sides i've also been injured. plenty of news stories told to come away on the program here what i'll say international we are back in just a moment. you know world of big partisan movies. and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for
4:17 am
4:18 am
cyclists early on choose to morning i warn you may find the following images disturbing other video of the attack was released by the b.b.c. you can more or less make it out the car crashing into security barriers and injuring police the police said the driver was alone and no weapons were found in the vehicle now the suspect has been identified as a twenty nine year old british citizen of sudanese origin he's not believed to have been previously known by british intelligence the police are now searching three addresses in the u.k. in relation to the incident. leader of germany's left party is launching a new political movement called stand up one of the new group's self-proclaimed goals is to defend the interests of those who feel ignored by the current government. yeah. because. if you decide ya them
4:19 am
a good. move all comes from. the group will be looking to rally left wing voters and pressure german politicians to create a left wing government stand up is also looking to win over so-called protest voters those who strongly oppose the way germany is heading today and its leader. is currently against the latest administration's open borders policy and says that migrants and unlimited access to germany's labor market must come to an end 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 one german m.p.
4:20 am
who has pledged her support for the new movement. yeah they will happen to have a exchanging operation especially with bernie sanders but a bill in the united states where against hillary clinton they missed out on getting the democratic nomination because of clinton intrigues we are also in close contact with the supporters of jeremy corbyn the momentum movement in the united kingdom clean and also with the complain of france's john the who got almost twenty percent in the last financial action. the left are split and weakened 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 when you look at polling there's always a majority that want better paid better pension who are not confrontational foreign policy regarding russia and are also against nato expansion or consider through on
4:21 am
top of them 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 a speedy the greens or done didn't show a successful strategy for doing that and competent rather the opposite is getting stronger and there is a chance for them becoming the people's party which is absurd of the left should return to its core ideals and goals social questions should be the keystone us i was. also shocked at how by fluting integration policy has pretty much friendlier the minimum wage to what was once a one year old 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
4:22 am
that people become angry and lean towards right our party it is those. 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 poll showing they are now more positive about socialism and with some saying the party is out of touch with his traditional base. and went to see what's driving this 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 the leftist intellectual slob voice is easy access about the trend not only some goat looking glistening.
4:23 am
but the system but only so many meters delish they need to look to us and someone with someone i know but. why didn't but i had a warm this dead american seat that doesn't function the way you people expected to find 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 to go k.k.k. .
4:24 am
happy. 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 can. 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
4:25 am
among democrats. i wouldn't say so i think he he's not really influencing it that 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 trumps 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 you came to this scene you know to shout the american day. but i don't know if you know even more of the democratic establishment than i threw off
4:26 am
a lot of the boys the night you go to bed i think yes they should look at the dead of own don't look at you bought it don't think yes now please don't ignore the theatre more live the m d god because you're seeking out robot of the same dose and he's moving until one of them still won't and so now they are the bane prize so whether it's trump or just overall. satisfaction resentment against what has long been considered to be core american values is growing up and r t new york. thanks for sharing your time with us here at aussie international many more stories still to come your way who can join us in about twenty five it's.
4:27 am
such you have on saturday irresponsible lobbyist accessing unlimited credit from an irresponsible federal reserve bank you have the infinite regress that you saw with fiat 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. with popes as. you put them so go along they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to be rich. to going to be pros this is what the before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should.
4:28 am
time action returns and you're watching a special season finale edition of going underground no international or national story in the u.k. is arguably more dominated this season than allegations that in march the russian federation violated international law on british soil the story has led to sanctions and some of the worst london moscow relations since the end of the churchill stalin roosevelt alliance joining me now is the russian federation's ambassador in london ambassador and xander of anchor the master thanks for coming on the show why did russia. now it's a case of killing since the press conferences you gave over the summer why did russia kill you case it is resorting to question is not correct we didn't kill
4:29 am
anybody in the territory of the u.k. unfortunately the russian citizens are in sergei's groupoid poisons as it was reported by the british press and since that time we didn't receive any evidence. what happened there but the next day after the incident in seoul very the prime minister to resume immediately blamed russia for doing this five months passed since that time and we don't have any evidence and the british authorities are refusing to talk to us we cannot see. that's why the british while eating the international law the vienna convention and we're really disappointed with the policy of the united kingdom on that violation of the convention that you're alleging there the british government presumably think that their lives of the russian nationals would be put in danger if they had consular assistance know because you know we want to talk to them and understand whether the
4:30 am
talking under the pressure or not and this is written in the vienna convention and the convention is signed by the united kingdom so they have two full few its international obligations ok it's true that there's no. conclusive evidence the british ambassador to the u n karen pierre said your country has the means and the motive that seem to be critical and the foreign office say that when you when you when you speak against these an allegation you are engaging in denial distraction and disinformation. i think this is according misleading statement because for example i want to quote the president of czech republic who said that certain amount of so-called novi joke was produced in czech republic and if you read the german press you will find that most of the.
