good food russia. good. u.n. peacekeepers are set to return to the disputed golan heights after militants were repelled from the region of syria and israel have been fighting over the resource rich area for. more social media with facebook removing latin america. from its platform twitter shutting down the right wing group proud voice on the program our guests debate whether. the one thing could be hate speech here but it's not hate speech over here it don't. fight hate speech. fight racism yeah the only way and what are you. a new political movement has launched in germany. who have lost faith in the

traditional parties away from right wing groups. and we do have a trend towards the right we would like to combine forces to make a progressive movement when you look at there's always a. confrontation of four and. these are just joining me here in moscow on this wednesday the fifteenth of august welcome to the program. u.n. peacekeepers are set to return to the golan heights after the area was liberated from she harvests however the region is still hotly contested syria and israel have been fighting over it for decades our correspondent reports. this city in the golan heights is one of the latest sites where the syrian army has brought

terrorist ruled to an end. we were among the first international news crews inside after its liberation just months ago the city of me 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 further 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. when the jihadi advance so u.n. peacekeepers flee into any fourteen they've been the only force 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 saw 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 a friend i saw 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. it together with a u.n. representative we conducted an initial patrol during which we checked the safety of the roads are still there but the main problem is that there are lots of explosives which 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 for 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. and other social

media ban has been imposed latin american news channel tell us has been removed from facebook for the second time this year and the outlook is not the only one r.t. is daniel hawkins looks at the recent string of bands. a news outlet activist all radio host band 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 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 page jealous or 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 in for 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 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 land you in hot water. we asked facebook to comment on why a band tell us or. tell us that english multimedia director says facebook's decision is alarming. but not aware and we didn't get an explanation we got an email 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've doing get got to resign or we would they didn't explain how in what way were we violating supposedly violating the terms of use 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 yeah place where. some voices are not allowed we were 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 and we were not motivating this terms and we would like to change the way perspective is the cover as we do for this not an inch. well it's not just facebook that's on a banning spree twitter has latest blocking measure targets the accounts of

libertarian commentator gavin mcinnes and his organization the proud boys of prague boys is a group that operates in the u.s. and u.k. canada and australia it advertises itself as a collective of western chauvinists and some of its members took part in the notorious right rally and shot it's filled in august twenty seventh scene but since then it's tried to distance itself from the old right. of the proud boys of the head of the anniversary of the shots bill o'reilly with no saying the organization has violated its policy on violent extremist groups. he is one interest healthy debate the issue with us 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 my argument 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 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 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 only thing to add to fight hate speech evolution what is right right i got it i'm privileged and i can't fight racism yeah the only way and 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 slept tara hikes on so american products including cause and alcohol that took as far as the president called it a response to u.s. attacks on took his economy. under the principle of reciprocity the tax rates for imports of certain products have been increased to counter the us administration's conscious attacks on our economy the standoff between the two states started when turkey detained an american pastor over alleged links to terrorism among other measures washington imposed additional tariffs on talk of many m and steel and sent the turkish lira plummeting in value hitting a record low against the us dollar a turkish stocks of tumbled as well release pastor andrew bronson now or be prepared to face the consequences. teach others who will respond to the u.s. declaring

a trade on the whole world by answering new markets and finding a few allies at the president's direction the department of treasury is sanctioning turkey's minister of justice and minister of interior. we will boycott u.s. electronic goods they might take the i phone but there is always some some of the state department spokesperson was pressed by journalists on the consequences of the tariffs for the rest of the world. financial issues that we in the united states chickie has now ruled emerging markets we've had everything from mexico to india currencies from more of the developing world of scene fix it by this and what stage does one stop this and say that you know the the rest of the world doesn't think she's avoiding one of the economic peril 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 and. let's put our attention out of out of afghanistan where at least forty five security personnel have reportedly being killed after the taliban attacked a military camp just north of kabul it comes amid heavy clashes between the taliban and the country's security forces in the city of god me it's where the militants captured an compound on tuesday well it's across live to kabul sultan fison a journalist joining me here on the program good to see you today what's the latest you can tell us now on this most recent time. well it has been a very deadly day for afghanistan it's a very bloody day for afghanistan not only in northen afghanistan but also in eastern afghanistan some twelve at least twelve soldiers have been killed and three are missing but in provinces specifically in. the location were

still it's there are conflicting reports that you know all forty five people or afghan security forces have been killed but speaking earlier to a spokesperson for the north and corpse he didn't confirm the death of the soldiers he said that twenty eight soldiers were there and they were missing then they have lost connection and they tried to send reinforcement but they have been also ambushed but he confirmed that. seven local police members we have to wait and see . what is the reality on the ground because you know since a couple of days there have been some soldiers missing not only in lawn but also in fallujah in i just on district of die condi and today three of them in zabul province we have to see and wait what is the reality on the ground are so we're getting some varying numbers here on how many how many victims are being how many casualties in the latest a string of taliban attacks but some geo political analysts are already saying that

the taliban appears to be resurgent what he thinks behind that if it's true. well taliban have been targeting very strategic and key locations such as gaza ne. helmand and today bubble on which is actually connects. to itself and then to tusshar i've been there several times and. was there actually for some while so. you know the attack or the you know the target the choosing the targets for the taliban is something very important as they have looted a lot of ammunition in gaza and you know torched the government installations and they are done the same in far actually and they have gained lots of i mean nation and you know military vehicles such as humvees while they attacked us and they have been like using the military cause you know the military vehicles as there are

suicide for the of suicide bombing missions so basically they have been securing the highways towards their strategic targets which paves the ground for them to have more success in their operations and they have been very cautious about the digital graffiti that how to connect people and how to talk to people and and actually it's. very very it's very obvious that they have also a cold war kind of talking to the people and in religious way they have a very good approach to people and you know keeping happy some people in the areas that they are trying to target you know for their upcoming plans now i'm sorry i'm running out of time his whole time but very quickly i must ask you the u.s. has now been in afghanistan for what slightly less than seven senior years now while we are not hearing mission accomplished.

recently us declare that the forces they are backing were three eight from some remote areas to prevent casualties and the ministry of defense also confirmed that well the thing is ministry of defense has been telling media that the afghan forces are not professional rent trained yet that's number one and number two is that the afghan forces have been losing moderate because because of the politics we know games or political challenges within the administration and also. you know the. the model of between the people that are getting you know of a far away distance from the security forces because they are not stable and they are they are not there for for forever so people you know try to go to the taliban and you know used to say. to use the opportunity to go for trial because they

take decision very quickly and and the justice is very quick down there so many people have been actually you know have been you know questioning the management of the security forces that what have been they going so basically falling you know post twenty fourteen. they have been only involved the forces on only involved in training assist and advice mission but basically they're not on the ground but. they have been conducting air strikes that have been causing sometimes civilian casualties myself and pious a couple based journalist thank you. but we did speak to some afghan locals who fled the recent fighting here's how they described their ordeal but i'd like to forget god 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 guys me province no not at all i have

escaped from gaza province where the fighting is still ongoing it's been about five days since the conflict started but there's no attention from the government and no facilities for the residents dead bodies are still on the road sides i've also been injured. twenty past the hour here in moscow your program returns in just about.

on saturday irresponsible lobbyist accessing unlimited credit from an irresponsible federal reserve bank the infinite regress that he 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. thanks for joining us here on our. police have named a suspect in tuesday's westminster colorado being incident he's a british citizen of sudanese origin and must attend at the scene now police are

treating the incident as terrorism the suspect is twenty nine years old is not believed to have been previously known to british intelligence and police are now searching three addresses in the u.k. in relation to the incident warning you may find the following images disturbing video of the attack was released by the b.b.c. in it you can more or less see the car crashing into security barriers after injuring people police say no weapons were found inside the vehicle. the lead. of germany's left party is launching a new political movement called 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 that's sat down for simply. because. if you decide ya them good. moves all comes over from.

the south from the white. 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 its leader sorry connect is against the current administration's open borders policy and says that migrants 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 a german m.p. who has pledged her support for the new movement.

yeah that will happen exchanging cooperation especially with bernie sanders people in the united states who are 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 moment to movement in the united kingdom clean and also with the complain of france which on the who got almost twenty percent in the last financial action while still. 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 when you look at polling there's always a majority that want better paid better pension and non-confrontational foreign policy regarding russia and are also against nato expansion grant offered them a political direction and policy of.

the us after. we had to present something different from the alternative or germany party in the last two or three years s.p.d. the greens or dulling didn't show a successful strategy for doing that and competent rather the opposite ab 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. also shot at by fluting integration policy has pretty much friended the minimum wage defunct what was once a one euro job no only brings eighty cents is the obvious if you 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 that people become angry and lean towards right wing party it is there. people that

we will be reaching out to for the sake of our democracy. even our showing you live pictures right behind me as the italian media say the death toll in a major motorway bridge collapse in the northern italian city of genoa has risen to thirty eight citing italy's interior ministry and local officials though still say twenty six people were killed with over a dozen injured the recovery operations are still ongoing and the author already has fear the number of victims could rise italian prime minister visited the site of the collapse calling the situation quote an immense tragedy.
