he seems twenty twelve according to mexico's energy department requiring the country to import more gasoline diesel and other refined products part of look at obrador strategy involves invest in some two point six billion dollars to upgrade refineries as well as build an at least a new one for approximately eight point six billion dollars or bridge or also refer reaffirmed his intent to review more than one hundred exploration and production contracts awarded to private oil and gas company and gas companies since the controversial twenty thirteen reforms which let's remind our viewers open the country's energy sector for foreign investment for the first time in decades so it's an ambitious plan to boost mexico mexico's oil and gas production but critics say it could potentially slow down the country's energy reforms and obstruct trade opportunities for u.s. refiners and pipeline companies that have already ramped up exports in order to

meet that growing demand in mexico sir merican companies are going to keep a very close eye on what's what are the developments going to be under the new president any effort to scale back reforms or even increase mexican energy productions could jeopardize some two hundred billion dollars in foreign investments planned for the country's oil and gas sector we have to point out that mexico's energy reforms are protected by its constitution and obrador has said that he will honor existing contracts so long as they don't reveal corruption but it's also an expensive plan and many mexicans are asking themselves how is abra door going to pay for it and will this mean more taxes for mexicans so this still many unanswered questions but the new administration message the new administration's message is very clear they want a more efficient. no less dependent oil and gas from mexico. and

earlier today u.s. president donald trump proposed moving away from business quarterly reporting to a six month reporting for companies the proposal would require a change by the u.s. securities and exchange commission and some say doing less reporting would allow companies to more freely make long term capital investments while others me included say the loss of transparency could open the door for nefarious business conduct well more on this debate in the coming days and right now the time to squeeze in a quick break but hang with us because when we return hillary for which the c.e.o. of straw mark joins us to talk about brecht and the rough road ahead before the united kingdom leaves the european union next march plus while involves murder from i.h.s. market joins us to discuss how the trump terrorists are impacting livestock and me stay right there will be back in a flash. when

the make this manufacture consent to stick to the public wells. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. with

no middle of the room sick. group. ergo never great was founded on the rapes and murders. nothing changed so we send all response to these situations that we're dealing with. people get shot every other day she is just sad people kill each other blood for killing children. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down by law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening

in america we call from the streets we got to deal with life. it's the reason i have to write like this is the reason. welcome back there's more earnings news home depot reports sales increases in q two of eight percent badly beating the expert estimates of six point five percent it appears the slowing housing market has not yet made an impact of the on the home improvement chain late last year home depot announced

a fifty percent increase in capital spending to eleven point one billion dollars over the next three years for more and improved physical stores the brick and mortar stores the company says those efforts are already paying off and assisted in a ten percent increase in contractor business and a smaller increase in do it yourself consumer sales the company has now up their earnings estimates for the rest of the year to seven percent. compensation for a chief executive officers at the foot c. one hundred companies in the u.k. have made an incredible increase over the last year rising eleven percent which pushes c.e.o. pay up to almost four million pounds annually about five point one million dollars we'd all like an eleven percent pay raise each year when we however the average increase for workers at those footsie one hundred companies grew by only two percent the data reported by the chartered institute of personnel and development and the high pay center disclosed a that full time worker on a median salary of about twenty three thousand five hundred pounds would need to

work get this one hundred sixty seven years to earn the median annual pay of c.e.o.'s rachel really is a. labor party member of parliament reacted by saying quote when c.e.o.'s are happily banking even larger bonuses while ever it workers pay is squeezed then something is going very wrong ms reeves chairs the business energy and industrial strategy committee which is leading an examination on fair pay in the united kingdom. and we know if you talk about the u.k. and breck's that are most pleased to be joined by our friend the c.e.o. of straight market you can us dual citizen of the recall worldly hillary ford which hillary thank you for being here great to have you back you're welcome bob always so first because of the brics and i want to ask your thoughts on that headline that we just did about the incoming equality gap you know we talk a lot about that and you've actually helped us on this program in the in the u.s. but it seems that the u.k. is not immune from income inequality now it's not and you mentioned the labor prime

minister reeves she's got a point just in terms of these compensation committees don't forget the compensation committees to have to please the c.e.o. so what are they going to do however i think is a great move towards it being based on the conversation be based on successes and also k.p. eyes keep performance indexes but i do want to mention this is two points here just think about who these c.e.o.'s are bought you know fifty one percent of all the c.e.o.'s on the footsie one hundred their accountants by background who becomes an accountant these on aristocrats the slight heritage wealth these are people who have made great strides in the business community by studying accountancy and working for many many many years and working their way up also now the number of tech c.e.o.'s has trebled over the last four years so you've got one in nine of those c.e.o.'s are tech whizzes who are they they're also not aristocrats or inherited wealth these are all people i believe particularly in accountancy and find that sort of work their way up they work very hard and they try to earn it and

i think reason to look at the upward mobility ever since the american banks went into london j.p. morgan chase back in the fat shias it's. a meritocracy you know they were thought about you know it's a lost ball that it's that there's a lot of us all know what has become the lads making good this is no longer inherited wealth these are hardworking british citizens who have become successful through their own hard work and reach would be happy to some many people of upward mobility through this system in the financial sector and i totally get that you know people that have spent their entire career should be compensated at the highest to get the most money less than the brightest but it just does seem like such a big gap and that gap you know i can certainly see why average folks or you know concerned about it and that's why don't you have to we have to tie it to that conversation needs to be tied to k.p. i keep a four month indexes so we get a break bricks it so let's see in foreign minister met this week with mr

hunt and said look it's only a fifty fifty chance of getting the brics that deal based on the checkers plan. the minister the charge of trying to work this out as the checkers plan is a nonstarter but what's going on here what is the checkers plan and what chance does the u.k. have of reaching a deal first of all theresa may has said no deal is better than a bad deal the check is plan is a twelve point plan it came out of the meeting at checkers which is the prime minister trait of the twelve point plan covers sort of everything from budgetary issues like the u.k. will no longer contribute to the budget it did address the date that the dates to world main the march two thousand and nineteen but the full implementation won't go into the twenty first it also covered something called the common rule book which is to cover over all trade and overall negotiations bottom line it's sort of like the norway deal things will be regulated but in the more in the favor so the so

that britain is in control that's what britain wants however if you are tia's is a check is planned good they'll say well we're still too tied to the e.u. if you ask our main is it a good deal they'll say well it doesn't provide protect our financial services sector in many sectors anough it's a fine line to walk and just real quickly i mean. they've got to do this pretty quick you can't just do it you know in february of next year and it's going to be implemented and to be it seems like the u.k. is really not in a great position to be the go shushan because it's more important it would seem to be for the u.k. to have this deal than the e.u. is that correct remember this no no i'm not i'm not going to say you're wrong but remember this ok we've got bussell brussels bureaucrats who aren't elected by anybody so who to date sort of really report to the european leaders let's take a good example germany germany in germany one out of seven cars is exported to the u.k. ok there's a huge deficit overall britain has an eighty billion dollars trade deficit with

europe in other words europe import export eighty billion dollars more of services and goods so you think the european companies don't want to trade with great britain oh they absolutely are big more so don't forget all of those leaders are under pressure by the c.e.o.'s of their company in germany i mention the cars we've got all the white on white goods dishwashers and washing machines everything that comes from europe comes from a c.e.o. and that c.e.o. is putting pressure on their leaders angle markel is in a terrible position i would want to be in her position she's been pressured by the brussels bureaucrats and by her own c.e.o.'s so my answer is look britain is going to maintain maintain its global leadership role it's the fifth largest economy g.d.p. wise and the european nations want to trade with britain who are forge c.e.o.'s strong mark thank you so much you really great operational way.

retail ground beef prices in june were at three dollars and seventy three cents per pound in the us that's up four cents from the previous month up five cents from the same time last year retail ground beef prices have been less than four dollars per pound for twenty nine consecutive months and now we look at the impact of the tariff and trade works on life. and meet i ask the true expert rylan malts berger the associate director of agricultural economics and country risk at i.h.s. market here's what he had to say. so rylan we know that soybean prices that we've spoken about in the past have an impact on other things including he'd grains i mean how are things going with regard to things like beef cattle and feeder cattle are they being impacted by soybean and corn prices. is actually is a benefit for the domestic producers to have lower prices of grains with soybean meal and corn within the us and so what that provides is an opportunity for

expansion in some of the meats to not have to have a higher price because the amount of exports going to china is not really affected there wasn't really a big market for the u.s. livestock producer for beef it least and so we've seen that really not be affected in the lower input prices feed this is a benefit to those producers now so actually that could be a trade war is could be in this case helping cost of beef price of beef producers because of the reduced feed price it could the only difference here is that within the us we're a major port producer and we've really expanded pork just recently as well and now the lower prices help them produce but pork has been the one that's been terrorists from china we've sent about seven percent or so the year before in which we're going to see that lower now china did have a lot of production this year and we didn't expect and have a lot of imports of us work but with the expansion within the u.s. over the last couple years we're seeing that we're going to have

a little bit of excess supply and that's really going to press down on the domestic part prices good for consumers not so good for producers not so good for the producers let me ask you on the trade thing in general rylan i mean have you ever seen anything like this the sort of trade war that's going on. we have as an example within kind of microcosm of agony and next textiles so i also look at cotton and what we've seen a few years ago is because of policy semesters within china they lowered their imports of cotton where they had a very large amount of imports and so they in essence put up a trade barrier when they were the largest importer globally and so what we see is we see these extra now these are different offsets happen so instead of importing rock on what happened because of their tariff the global community started exporting to bangladesh vietnam thailand india these other locations and then they

were spinning into yarn and then because of ultimately trade barrier they sent the yarn to china and so what we see it with in many of these cases it hurts certain industries and they don't help other ones but mostly and net net zero again in some cases last question rylan when we you got me thinking there which is always our problem i guess in some quarters so what are the large companies that are being most impacted we talked about producers being impacted with prices maybe it's going to help the beef beef and cattle guys but not so much the corn in the wheat guys but talk about companies that you know eighty. cargill how are they going to feel the pain of the trade wars or will they. well they might benefit a little bit it's going to depend on which location that they are at and where they have facilities the most so if there is the brazil there's a potential there for them to get some arbitrage of moving beans around from brazil

and out and to move some down to south america or but if they have potential crushing facility it's a story of beans with china that means that their input price is going to be higher and so therefore they have to try there so there's who are being oil and so would be a meal at a higher price domestically within china so there's going to be some pressure there for their margins for like the traders movers around the globe in that case it's always helpful when you're with us right now in malta berger the associate director of agricultural economics and country risk at i.h.s. market rylan thanks for your time again sure appreciate it thank you very much. and that's it for this time thanks for being with us and as always catch well i'm biased on directv channel three twenty one dish network channel two eighty or streaming twenty four seven on pluto teenie the free t.v. at channel one thirty two are always track us down at youtube dot com pleasure both of us archie had a fantastic weekend will see it. it's

a very rough furthur a new sort of climates and you have to fight to be able to defend. it was gunshots on top of them and so very fresh to what happened in the middle of it and even up out. of it going back up. you know i don't want. to see it but it will be in this room is ready to participate in the good is owed to me put to me that. you don't think about this leave this soldier or no you got through it here like any other and other patients.

when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it's meaningless in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we more executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no really that hasn't been that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to get pellet here is because that's what murder victims' families want to that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.

thanks. to your. batons and i say that imitation is holding talks with the german challenge. angle merkel in berlin with the iran nuclear deal and syrian reconstruction on the agenda . we visit one of the syrian cities worst hit by the war aleppo to witness the reconstruction process after years under attack by islamic state and militants also to come the u.s. plans to spend up to fifteen million dollars on enhanced and soldiers physical performance and insurance it warns the future conflicts will take place in less medically robust areas and marines the sooner the gun activists she's been charged with acting as a number of russian agents in the u.s. has been transferred to another prison we hear from her lawyer about her health and what to expect in the case next.

that welcome she's got nine pm here in moscow you're watching international. talks between london and anglo merkel have just got underway in berlin the rebuilding of syria as well as the iran nuclear agreement are among the key issues on the agenda reporting now from the german capital his hawkins'. press conference concluded literally about two three minutes or so ago some just getting updates saying as they're coming in no surprise the hot topics up for discussion as predicted confirmed by both parties ukraine syria north stream to out avoiding a humanitarian catastrophe in the north of syria more specifically province merkel said that there was no question there in syria or ukraine which can be resolved through dialogue communication and discussion she said the situation in ukraine the

control of that situation is certainly enough that peacekeeping mission something that has been a bit of a sticking point between russia and germany russia and europe should be discussed and steps taken to ensure that. takes place sure so said that the situation in syria has seen positive moves but it's important to avoid what she described as a humanitarian catastrophe in the areas where conflict was still rife in the country. mentioned as well the humanitarian question in syria statements it's important that the refugees people who have escaped from the country but want to hope want to return get the full support of russia the e.u. all parties involved all ages to have interests in the country as well as in the number she would certainly should cities it's important to do more for the humanitarian situation in syria most importantly bring aid to its people and who

loses is where a few jews can return from abroad years and in the u.s. uses are going to use that russia is always ready to discuss questions of bilateral trade and business interests with its european partners and these are this is the second meeting rather between the two leaders in just a matter of months merkel was in russia back in may she emphasized the importance of dollar govt and communication that has again been emphasized that today's press conference just after just before all of the two leaders went into the building here behind me to hold those talks now with the leaders do you have a lot of history merkel has been critical of quotes in the past they have clashed on numerous issues recently that have been holding together due to a rift with trump about america because of those tariffs imposed on both countries by the u.s. and indeed the sanctions imposed on russia by a whole trunk with more threatened to come because of the scandal. of course as leaders of other countries have come on board merkel has remained and maintained

that relationship with miss the police and that has always remained cordyline the two leaders do see eye to eye on issues such as the iran nuclear deal that's something else that mrs merkel mentioned today germany's commitment to that deal. and the importance of keeping up. there as well as bottle trade mr putin mentioning the thousands of german companies present in russia and russian companies in germany stating that trade had gone up by around twenty two percent in recent months of years as well as we said earlier through just merkel's knowledge of russian with the putin's local german that relationship has always remained core deal with both leaders hoping to take something out of this we think mrs merkel to reinforce our position as one of the leaders of europe when they go she is with russia mr putin in taking those steps to ending russia's isolation through those sanctions. and hawkins there but before meeting merkel mr putin did pay a quick social visit to austria the russian president stopped off to attend the

wedding of the country's foreign minister and the ceremony taking place in the vineyard in austria styria state some slam the foreign minister they were inviting mr pease into the wedding but it seems the russian president did have a good time even dancing with the bride and many try to guess what president he'd given the happy couple it was in fact a painting an ancient oil press and also a traditional russian samovar. now with the syrian army reestablishing control across the country efforts are underway to rebuild a shattered nation in the latest in a series of reports you goshdarn of travels to the city of aleppo to see how locals there is slowly picking up the pieces. much of the city of aleppo is still in ruins reviving it to its former glory is a task of gargantuan proportions and of immense political and economic importance

the citadel of aleppo has become the symbol of the city's resistance. but aleppo is much more than just a maze of antique streets and attractions from history books. the militants have stolen computer units with chips for the machines they destroyed the factory on purpose they wanted to damage syrian industry as a home and specifically in the street in aleppo reviving this that. would. see one rebel control of this area. and the and basically very

dysfunctional hunger that he's. going to be immense but now that the former industrial hub is slowly getting back on track things are finally looking up for the people of aleppo. two years ago during the war we couldn't even open our shops the shelling snipers were everywhere you couldn't live under such circumstances we covered the roof of the building back then so that we could take cover it was unbearable we took shelter for about half an hour whenever the shelling started we just locked ourselves in here thank god now we can work peacefully day and night we just hang around smile. just like the good old days the under joe a little the atmosphere is really good around here the weather is nice everybody is feeling safe and it's only getting better you can see getting better day by day. i was lucky enough not to leave my home the wind this is the district the rebels

couldn't get to at the time there was a blockade once but it was firmly lifted now saying god things are better despite all the things we've been through we're no better than your mother when you know it's safe you can return home and if your house lies in ruins you can still thinks it the main thing is it's safe now. just a couple of years ago these current used to protect people in the street from falling shows and debris well now they're sheltering them from the sun historically the city of aleppo has been the economic capital of syria and now with the world gone finally some traders are coming back to the streets. of reporting from aleppo in syria. meanwhile the u.s. state department says it will redirect american stabilisation funding planned for syria to other foreign policy efforts washington insists though this will not affect the see it humanitarian assistance program it comes to saudi arabia pledges

one hundred million dollars to syrian reconstruction projects however the money will only go to the northeast of syria a region under the control of us back kurdish forces and while some programs are cut of those do remain in place with the u.s. saying it will stay in syria for some time yet to fight against the last pockets of terrorists. we're remaining in syria the focus is the ensuring defeat of isis we still have not launched the final phase to defeat the physical caliphate this is actually being prepared now and that will come at a time for choosing but it is coming joshua landis head of the middle east studies at the university of oklahoma says that america's interests in syria to go beyond fighting terrorism the united states does not want assad to become too strong there are hoping to keep leverage in order to try to push iran out of the country

to get a better deal for the kurds and and of course they're also worried about what's going to happen if their profits where there are very complex negotiations and in russia is at the heart of that so there are many competing agendas in washington and as long as president trump is not spending a lot of money there i think he's happy to keep a few thousand troops if that increases america's leverage. meanwhile the u.s. department of defense is planning to spend up to fifteen million dollars in the hands in the performance and insurance of its soldiers because kalam often now explains history does show there is reason to be wary. i. actually did. hollywood science fiction often depicts the soldiers of the future with all the talk of a space force from donald trump and fighting robots across the silver screen our

imagination has plenty of places to go. now on the surface a new grant from the pentagon for extramural biomedical research and development doesn't sound so bad the object is to create soldiers who can withstand even the harshest circumstances take a listen develop technologies to maximize the physiological performance of s.o.f. operators including enhanced in durance enhanced senses tolerance to environmental extremes and enhanced overall fitness in order to maintain operational posture ability in high stress scenarios without noticeable augmentation and without hampering personnel mobility additionally the ability to accelerate the effects of sleep through methods requiring less time a vivid picture i know the prototype. three piece.

now let's give this a little context this won't be the first time that the u.s. military has engaged in this kind of research. well you know. now at the time these grotesque experiments using american g.i.'s and civilians

essentially as the lab rats at the time they were taking place the public knew nothing about it was all classified now the public documents indicate these new experiments will not involve human beings only human simulators however anyone who is familiar with the not so well publicized but very well documented history of u.s. military research they'll certainly raise an eyebrow. r.t. new york. russia is at it again apparently that is the claim by the us magazine the atlantic because it says that the kremlin has set its sights firmly on meddling in the upcoming midterm elections to weaken america with the article does go on to explain moscow's alleged three step plan to break american democracy here it is number one unleash russian hackers number two by corrupt us politicians and thirdly support those who you think favor who think favorably putin but it's not just the russian state that's come under suspicion the atlantic also claims that this very

channel to help undermine democracy by inviting on guess you dare to question mainstream merits of the magazine named brandon stryker as an example he's the founder of a movement encouraging democrats to walk away from their party although the atlantic does fail to point out he also talks to the media to. well i i myself was a lifelong liberal democratic voter i would say kind of a democrat by default because i'm a gay man and i think that the expectation for a lot of minority groups is that we are supposed to vote democrat and that we are supposed to be liberals friends strake has spent years as a liberal he now says he's concerned by what the left has become well before the election i was already starting to feel uncomfortable with where we were headed in terms of identity politics and p.c. culture. well the political commentator line explained why he things and he russian articles get written but you have

a quality of people to task they are paid for by volume or how many likes to you get how many clicks hey that was a great article factually incorrect. factually based list and also the mentality just feeding frenzy of this this monster this monster that you must feed constantly with this no russia no nato no bad guy no bogeyman so there's many reasons why the book even to straw man dispatcher the evil image of russia must be maintained you're watching our international still plenty more to come this hour for you including the london movement has seen its facebook page taken down again tell you why just after this break.

public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. we can all middle of the room. because. they're all. the boss forgot about the back of the bus is.

because we rush. wonder bread. you. know again our memory of going to a gun activists who's been charged with acting as a number i just had russian agent in the us has been transferred to another prison without her lawyers knowledge russian diplomats have compared to his treatment in custody and also the media hysteria around her case to the witch trials of the seventeenth century meanwhile the twenty nine year old has launched a crowdfunding campaign to pay for her legal defense on thursday russian diplomats visited buton in prison and said she's been subjected to cruel treatment they claim she faces inhumane inspections throughout each night and is also strip searched after any visitor marie is also being deprived of proper medical attention has claimed she was suffering from swelling on her leg but was only given painkillers

she's been denied any letters written in russian to over fears they might contain coded messages the russian embassy stress she's still a suspect they are not a convict and his lawyer robert driscoll updated us on her condition. i was unaware that she was transferred until last night at around midnight i received a collect call from her at home and the phone was disconnected before we could get through but i knew it was from alexandria jail so i drove down and tried to get in last night and could not but i was able to get in this morning and visit her so she is in alexandria detention facility at least for now for this weekend it's a smaller facility than the d.c. jail as respected facility but it's hard to know why the move was made where there was made for medical or other reasons or in response to complaints about the conditions in d.c. she does have arthritis in one of her legs kind of a history of problems with that leg so she sought treatment for that and so far has just received tylenol and nothing else and i think she has also been a little bit frustrated by policy when people are in protective custody they do bad

checks every fifteen minutes at night to check on detainee safety and i think sometimes depending on who the guard is you know the lights are turned on every time there's a check and so it's very hard to get proper sleep when you're being woken up every fifteen minutes she's segregated from the general population of the prison facility you know no contact really with outside people besides her lawyers and occasional phone calls and when you're being held. in some isolation like that it's difficult because every everything i think she wanted to do is kind of a one off request there isn't a very set schedule and so it was very difficult to make sure she was getting a proper exercise and. trips to the library and things like that because everything she did she had to do by yourself doesn't anyone would have an easy time in prison but in this is an accomplished student you know someone who i don't think ever envision spending a day in jail or a life to be in you know it's a pretty tough facility. well the alleged russian agent was arrested over

a month ago she was refused bail after pleading not guilty two weeks ago she's also accused of offering sex an attempt to get a job in an unnamed special interest group if convicted buton he could face up to fifteen years in prison no date has been for her trial has been set normal less her lawyer does remain optimistic. she's in very good shape she's helping actively with us to prepare the defense she's confident in her innocence there's no allegation of espionage there's no allegation of classified information childish and she was paying anyone off there's no allegation she was recruiting spies none of the things you would typically see in an espionage case the allegations are fairly vanilla that she attended meetings of various groups that were public that she had dinners with various people and she took a lot of selfies as i think a lot of people are twenty's do with with people she met and post them on facebook so this is not the kind of a typical this is no comparison to what the allegations were against for example at

a chapman or others where there was actual whether they were true or not their actual allegations about use of sophisticated equipment and payoffs and spy ring and things like that there's none of that here with some point maybe try to get her released pretrial again we're just looking through documents trying to find the proper evidence to do that i think we may be able to do that hopefully the next couple of weeks. now the group occupy london the pace to be the one thousand in the face book's recent spree of shutting down accounts the social justice movement how does a page taken them for several hours the movement says that this is not the first time ice book is try to censor its content london is founded in two thousand and eleven it is part of a global movement to organizing hundreds of protests against financial elites and even says its founding value equality and diversity occupy london has a significant social media presence to with around one hundred fifty thousand followers on facebook some do believe palestine post by occupy london might be to

blame for facebook's action we are facebook to comment social media giant since apologized to occupy london saying it was a one mistake but one of the maidens activist judge isn't convinced. just you know sort of a blip in the state of the blue probably would. very much at all but the problem is this is part of a massive rear guard action i think by the establishment or anyone can go online and see the evidence this themselves chris hedges is a pulitzer prize winning journalist is one of those exposing most of the details of this but effectively what's happening in the name of dealing with fake news and many progressive websites that have been a major part of you know bernie sanders jeremy corbyn etc. they found the traffic going down. websites like alter net truthdig you know mainstream progressive websites are saying that traffic goes down by seventy percent literally and these

are algorithms devised in private nobody can inspect and have a huge impact on what information the world gets to see about what's going on and that's a hugely significant issue going forward the relevant thing today in terms of the discussion is still a very powerful force online and has millions of people engaging with its posts and so it's very important that they and others like them are not in the name of fake news effectively removed from most people's internet searches and i think this is a huge issue going forward bear in mind that google and facebook are very very close to the american establishment you know the washington post is owned by jeff bezos he was and is an answer but not surprisingly he's very keen on using the washington post to make sure that the internet allows his articles to come up at the top of searches and no answers. graffiti has been appearing in the spanish city of barcelona encouraging holiday makers to jump off their hotel balconies some of it suggest to you that the potentially deadly practice known as balcony. one of the

graffiti message is also mockingly claims it improves the quality of life a long course can in can refer either to jumping into a pool from a balcony or climbing from one balcony to another the risky activities growing in popularity with tourists in some hotels have banned it and introduced fines. well the balcony and graffiti that sprung up in barcelona has sparked anger online with people to point out to you that this year alone six people have died performing this stunt most of them were from britain or island the u.k. foreign office is also warned against engaging in the practice in the majority of

accidents victims have been drunk and lost their balance we got reaction from tourists in barcelona. thanks to the a.f.c. you will be able to post something that i am out of my faith and there is no sound like many messages saying violence like you against terrorists i guess the same in them stuff like they want to have the city for over and they know whats important to maintain jobs to make some money out of tourists were i figure you have some kind of sex life can i have this many tourists from to you on that it's not comfortable for and i have evidence of this as well but i think that's nice to see that's just so open and do so much much and it should be accepting. koreans formalised students aggressive against you is this it's the main some something. but nothing i think it's just. nice and it took place if i would live here and

i see guys who are in my city. hall style sometimes just like this and that brings you up to date that's how the news is looking so fast today here in r.c. we're back again in half an. you know world big partisan group a lot and conspiracy 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 bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now

for watching closely watching the hawks. beauty the wings of the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. plus it must be a little simple they want to become a lantern i wondered last sunday but many of them look for refuge in the so-called sing tree sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities. pressing as band. listen to more don't have them at my son i get them in a lot of class and they want that. they can't water the options to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house over for the gravels of. the who could be bad to the government i said see it's travel time many couples won't. kill the

chance of putting food impulse response both of you up of up to the bulk of the. i magine are times when you're watching a special edition of going underground award winning journalist and filmmaker john pilger will now be in our new series starting in september but this is one of his most recent interviews with us in it he went beyond the. lines on syria schools very yemen and north korea. ok she didn't know it is a may day today's. protests in france have turned fine and false information to use tear gas and water cannons and arrested more than two hundred chest and. corruption in this seemingly they see nothing approach that

made a protest in support of workers' rights turned violent in cities around the world. as the tear gas settles and rain washes blood from the streets of europe after this week's global mayday uprising i'm afshin rattansi and this is going underground special with me for the whole program is that journalist and filmmaker john pilger let's start and just straight to austerity before we go to foreign policy even in australia i know another first world country the levels all sterile. since the twenty eight crash a stir to supply globally so the same policy of extreme tax cuts the trump as opposed to go in the united states that we've we've had in this country for preferred

a long time. it's called neo liberalism they applaud so you have or this called an underclass of people working for. temporary visas for low wages this is become the pattern in all rich countries it's the kind of. darwinian economics that those who two thirds society those who've who've got it through really will those in the middle who aspire to do well are usually in debt and those in the bottom up discard it and yet of course while as you say these two thirds have been suffering since twenty eight or even with a four then there is money for wars what was your reaction when you first heard of the anglo american french missile attacks on syria it's built on a series of i would call them lies fabrications. the calculus

tackling duma to resume clearly said this is why britain has to go in and fight and to get at least the regime they says is to be believed frankly and she's yet to convince us that she has a right to be believed because. almost everything to do with foreign policy has shown to in the end if you take the the the sols pre attack that is on rather late so fall just for example the o.p.c. w. report on this which was not reported include in the bar a tree report from its major of a power tree in switzerland which said. this this was no no of agent this wasn't no for sure it was something entirely different joking about the wheelchair attack we're told he will show a side if this old gray attack but they are connected because it leads then we leads then to the attack on syria. the there is overall

a campaign against russia this is a very long campaign it's been going on since the russian revolution but it's intensified in terms of its propaganda and the way i'd never known i've never known journalism to be so distorted in order to sort of this propaganda be the attack on on on dubai was based on when i quoted the law i when you look at the available weapons the real evidence the evidence that barely sees the light of day. then there's no justification for it whatsoever. there's no real evidence of a chemical attack so what we're seeing is is the most intense. campaign of

propaganda at least since the iraq the buildup to the iraq war in two thousand and three which comes from a great tradition that comes from nineteen forty five the cover story for dropping two atomic bombs later discredited right through to the beginning of the vietnam war the gulf of tonkin so we had years of misery and devastation in vietnam built on a lie when the be going to understand this when we're going to send understand there's no story called patton and we see that played out now almost through the propaganda that's presented as news i think we'll get our view that many mainstream media journalists have short term memories perhaps but they are handed as they have always been handed press releases from government they routinely say russia has obviously rules invaded in area of europe and now they're being told we have proof

that they have launched a chemical attack on english soil the first time since world war two and and the journalists say all governments cannot possibly be lying about such a serious event i've been a journalist for a long time i've covered many wars i've covered the first cold war i've covered it from the soviet union i've covered it from the united states i've worked all over the world i'm a reporter. i would say there is a pseudo journalism now the kind of journalism you describe i wouldn't describe as journalism to simply write down and swallow what governments tell you is the very end to thesaurus of what real journalism is fortunately we still have it in the great on really exceptional is the mavericks like robert fisk whose single

report from duma showed almost without doubt the whole thing hickman's so false he interviewed a doctor who'd worked at this particular facility there was no evidence the doctor made a mockery of macros and maze and claimed. to have seymour hersh now who can't pump be published in his own country has to be published in germany probably the greatest investigative reporter in the world hersh last year may his own reporting his own investigation made mockery of these so-called. chemical attacks. i've never known the time when so cold as you describe it mainstream surely. a satirical to. mainstream journalism has been so integrated into

a propaganda. and that that propaganda campaign at the moment pointed right against russia suggests to me that it's the beginning of a kind of not the macho on russia. but the surrounding of russia with bases with american bases with nato missiles the provocations day off today. suggests this in syria where basically the russians and the syria some succeeded by blocking the the the rebels most of whom the hottest and the extreme islamicist supported by the united states supported by britain are still present to as a credible opposition within syria but the whole point of all this is to

take syria from the russians since the nine hundred fifty s. if you read the documents you go back and read the declassified m i six dispatches from syria they've been trying to do those things the nineteen fifties syria hasn't been controlled in the same way that iran hasn't been controlled this is i hope this is not the last stage i don't think it is because in syria it appears there's a major defeat and what way of seeing is a reaction to that but of course you mention some world renowned journalists have you been surprised about how they have been taken as apologists for putin and fascinated by presenting the opposite there it is oh of course not. a big cold everything throughout my career that's a badge of honor. you're

a good reporter only if at some point. authority established forces about who. about whose nefarious activities and invasions your writing label you a dupe but used to be a favored or an apologist. robert fisk knows this very well that's happened with every great story he's reported then they i say great story because he's reporting it's been of the highest order since i've known and as with seymour have as with with people like gareth porter a great investigative reporter who you'll never see he's an american you'll never see it a so-called maiden's for you use maybe writes all of it but read his material about the wrong it's based on fact you mentioned iran how serious is this narrative not going to twist away but maybe while still remaining on syria but

going to focus on some kind of imminent war on iran especially as we know john bolton is no national security advisor go chill go is it on the whole ball and this this and mike pompei of who's this secretary of state. it's hard to know who amongst them is the most extreme. but iran has been a major target much more so than syria much more so than iraq because iran was one of the pillows of western power american power in the middle east and when most a deck the democratically elected leader of iran was overthrown in in the nineteenth fifties by britain and the united states and the shah was in a store that was when the pillar was reinforced but the pillar collapsed in one

nine hundred seventy nine with the revolution in iran and that has never been forgiven getting a raw on the major ambition of the above and that's why we're coming into a very dangerous period when trump mosse ratify the agreement the a bomb outside and. with iran along with. the e.u. under which iran committed to its self as it frankly always had committed itself to a peaceful nuclear program in return sanctions would drop and so on we have dangers you know the danger is that a presented to us that is so unnecessary why why are we why we threatening countries like iran which hasn't invaded anyone for about four

hundred years the don't threaten us why is not for innocent like israel allowed to have it seemed punitive. why do we why do we believe these why do as you describe why do we. journalists write down what governments tell us why don't they question the don't they it's just a few years ago that exactly that was as terrible mistakes happened in two thousand and two two thousand and three that led to the disaster of the invasion of iraq over iraq what why is this being repeated these are questions that demand to be on so that not just by journalists but by the public in time across particularly countries that rick still regard themselves as democratic job

and stop the that job to the break. banks guys are financial life they say money the bell on. the floor take it easy this is a central bank support diagram is going to call them right now say stop. that's a very rough terrain you're sort of climate and you have to fight to be able to them if. it was gunshots on top of them and so many friends what happened in the morning and i mean you don't know. don't let me back up.

you know i don't want to see a better body in this world and is ready to participate in the good. old to me but when. you don't think about these things the soldier on no you've got three to like and you know i do and the other patients. welcome back i'm still here with legendary journalist and filmmaker john pilger did you ever expect to see what looked like ditto in korea no i didn't expect. although we're short of expect with the koreans them so. if we've been following them and we don't follow but we follow the big power is that.

impose that them so particularly that odd states on that country it's a very popular move by the president of south korea it's i would i would have thought is clearly a popular move in north korea the koreans korea is one of the most homogeneous societies in the world i mean you can you can find very few countries so it's almost like the fronts relate to one big family the idea of them divided. is absurd they recognise that but what this demonstrates is that a regional solution is is possible not only possible it's probably the only way to all these to all the world's so-called flashpoints and problems their credit is being given to donald trump's administration but he's

there but if you want to give him the nobel peace prize why not give in to a few of those below the incoming orange and it details that massive military expansion in that area yet it's always you know everyone is celebrating because the share prices of all boeing raytheon locate and others have gone down how can these regional peace deals be done in the face of all of that military industrial complex pile if this deal is being done and i think both koreas have to be very careful of not walking into a trap as well the trap could be that north korea is to psalm to completely and north korea knows that by having. you clear weapons that's prevented it from being another iraq canal the libya from big attacked i don't think there's any question about it so while it's desirable look north

korea is dissolved of nuclear weapons and and all of korea is denuclearized it also has to be the american law is the two in fact the the formula is rather more important than the latter. how that happens is going to be a very tricky part of the negotiations coming up because korea as far as the united states can is concerned is is really a front line on a number of countries but especially if front line on china it would is russia and china borders russia and a child or of course but it has its sad so called anti missile system if you just said to be pointing at the north no one believes that it's pointing at china so these are very precarious days ahead but i think they quite hopeful

days and i'm sure if you still have friends in the national security apparatus of the united states but do you think there are people in there taking a rather dim view very day and i will oppose this as you point out all the arms companies will oppose this although the the japanese have said publicly they supported but and no doubt the chaps these people supported no question about that but whether the united states stays in korea. literally leaves. is the crucial factor here. that surely there really is a end of the korean war surely there are interests and we should remind people who don't because it's seldom mentioned here that it was britain was involved in the killing of twenty percent of the population of all of korea. how far would the united states go in trying to remain there if peace breaks i don't know but the

it for them it may well get out of control this will become so popular if it isn't already in korea that. they my i might find great difficulty with the local population and even the local political update south korea you know those sort of hybrid it's a it's a vassal state of the united states but it's also bred people like. the the present president and people like kim jong and all those who. who saw i did tone with the north as their prime political purpose not as a servant of the united states perhaps that's a clash that we've yet to see. happen and perhaps that's coming but the

process has started that's that's the important thing and regional processes like this have a high success rate. they have a high success rate in in. i remember in uganda when the east african states following the the the whole devastation of video maine and you guys and that was a regional solution they were they were left alone. in latin america when countries very rarely have been left alone by the united states. they've had regional groups that have banded together in economic formations and if you like protected each other maybe that's why they hated to go chavez so much because he promoted that he promoted that regional solution

to two to a region so perhaps we're seeing the beginning of something like that of course if you go to the middle east they would be a regional solution. if they wasn't the united states supporting one state in its impunity and its priority in its occupation of politics but if there was good will in the united states to make that a regional solution then to be very difficult there are there are a many different competing tribal forces but those tribal forces of mostly been. reignited. by the the the imperial palace as resort in libya into in two thousand and

eleven so again i suppose i'm saying that although it's probably wrong it's so remote at the moment in the middle east but to see glimmers of it in korea is hopeful well if trump has enemies of a career because he may what the big grand gesture he now has the curious enemy of the d.n.c. that is suing him russia is the us democratic party i think this is serious because i had to recheck it again yes is suing donald trump russia and julian assange son mickey mouse it's it's it's just absorb stood. a me as the ruler inquiry progresses you know as if the goal is a road in that within the road to stop this was save the house intelligence committee ruled out have found off the months of you looking into

a conspiracy between trump and the russians it was the probably the clinton cables the hillary clinton cables particularly the protests the ones the protests the ones that showed that hillary clinton the absolute embodiment of the democratic a fabric. that her foundation. that she knew rather she knew that the the the force of the saudi arabia qatar or backing isis or backing these extreme to harvest movements and he had she she and her foundation benefit from huge donations into into the clinton foundation and she did and went on the secretary of state to so-called negotiate the biggest alms deal that america's of

unknown with those states so that's the that's important information that tells us how power works that's upset them in russia of course fighting isis and al-qaeda in syria but does that mean then that basically julia is as we can leaks organization can never be forgiven by that is bush will never be forgiven people who talk you go only about good journalists and the forgiven that's why they're good journalists that's part of being a good journalist but such a sound has suffered so much for being for wiki leaks big so good. and he being in touch with it yes into a directly at the moment i haven't i've been in touch because he's denied visitors . he can't make phone calls he's got no into that it's the

pressure pressure is on him and every bit of his extraordinary of resilience is now being called upon it's it's one of those miscarriages of justice that's to malda to. grotesque injustices that that it should. manifest right in the hot of london is to scrapes a songe isn't even allowed to go to a hospital and come back because they won't let him back. he has the right to safe passage out of that embassy he has a justified fear. of the united states extraditing him and putting him in the kind of hell hole that chelsea manning into it details probably throw away the

key with julian assange. he's done that too well and so over these leaks the only leak actually i mean. we can leaks doesn't know where the leak came from but the leak almost certainly came from within the democratic national committee the same body that is now conducting this ridiculous action against against wiki leaks and the rest you might as well the same thing would be directed against the new york times or the washington post were to publish the pentagon papers and back in those howls in days when they did real journalism if anyone needs the support of democrats of journalists of those who believe in basic freedoms freedom of speech freedom of knowledge freedom to know freedom of real journalism it's him.

thank you. all that's it for one of your favorite shows from this season will continue to show your favorite episodes in the way back for a brand new season on wednesday the fifth of september bill that comes from a classical media sister. a murder was never great was founded on the rape in the murder. nothing changed so we said oh response so these situations that we're dealing with. people get shot every day she used to stab people kill each other blood for killing

children. how many times there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to see shot down law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in america we call from the streets we got to deal with life is the reason i have to write like this is the reason. i did that and i'm fine and i'm not going on saturday and going to where i live now has a little downtown people point. line and if you have you would it be that easy to find a friend that i had in me. plus is that going to be

pleasant to people. to. go to a lot of them i don't know but not a little bit going to do much if i'm not i don't know what's going to start up that i don't have money going to know about much i'm going to wait for the more i'm not going to jump on any. one do fly lists some boards of. the same things. to see. you can be normal. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be going to the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict respond

dennison the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying just knowing that doesn't mean that we even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.

the headlines this of another myth hooten is holding talks with german chancellor angela merkel in berlin with the iran nuclear deal and syria in the construction on the agenda. also to kill me visit one of the syrian cities worst hit by the war aleppo witnessed the reconstruction process is under attack by islamic state and. militants. the u.s. plans to spend up to fifteen million dollars in hunting soldiers physical performance and insurance it warns that future conflicts will take place in less magically robust areas and the gun activists who has been charged with that acting is none registered russian agent in the u.s. has been transferred to another prison we hear from her lawyer about her health and what to expect next in the case.

hello there you're watching our international thanks being with this saturday evening where it's just gone ten pm here in moscow. the talks between that image putin and anger merkel are underway in purley in the rebuilding of syria as well as the iran nuclear agreement are among the key issues being discussed reporting from the german capital has daniel hawkins that press conference concluded literally about two three minutes or so ago some just getting updates in as they're coming in no surprise the hot topics up for discussion as predicted confirmed by both parties ukraine syria north stream to out avoiding a humanitarian catastrophe in the north of syria more specifically province merkel said that there was no question there in syria or ukraine which couldn't be resolved through dialogue communication and discussion she said the situation in

ukraine to control that situation is certainly out of the peacekeeping mission something that has been a bit of a sticking point between russia and germany russia and europe should be discussed and steps taken to ensure that takes place should also said that the situation in syria has seen positive moves but it's important to avoid what she described as a humanitarian catastrophe in the areas where conflict was still right in the country huzzah. mentioned as well the humanitarian question in syria stating that it is and it's important that the refugees people who have escaped from the country but want to the whole want to return get the full support of russia the e.u. all parties involved all agents to have interests in the country as well as in the member she would certainly should cities it's important to do more for the humanitarian situation in syria most importantly bring aid to its people and who

loses areas where a few jews can return from abroad years in the u.s. uses are going to use that russia is always ready to discuss questions of bilateral trade and business interests with its european partners these are this is the second meeting rather between the two leaders in just a matter of months merkel was in russia back in may she emphasized the importance of dollar govt and communication that has again been emphasized that face press conference just after just before all of the two leaders went into the building here behind me to hold those talks now with the leaders do you have a lot of history merkel has been critical of quotes in the past they have clashed on numerous issues recently that they have been holding together due to a rift with trump and america because of those tariffs imposed on both countries by the u.s. and indeed the sanctions imposed on russia by all the trouble with them or threatened to come because of the scandal. of course as leaders of other countries have come

on board merkel has remained and maintained that relationship with miss the police and that has always remained cordyline the two leaders do see eye to eye on issues such as the iran nuclear deal that's something else that mrs merkel mentioned today germany's commitment to that deal and the importance of keeping up the dog there as well as but actual trade mr putin mentioning the thousands of german companies present in russia and russian companies in germany states in that trade have gone up by around twenty two percent in recent months and. years house well as we said earlier through just merkel's knowledge of russian mr putin's local german that relationship has always remained core deal with both leaders hoping to take something out of this we think mrs merkel to reinforce our position as one of the leaders of europe with it's with russia and with the president in taking those steps to ending russia's isolation through those sanctions well before meeting merkel putin did pay a quick social visit to austria the russian president stopped off to attend the

wedding of the country's foreign minister with a ceremony is taking place in the vineyard in austria state some did slam the foreign minister from inviting putin to the wedding but it does seem the russian president had a good time even dancing with the bride and many did try to guess t. what president had given to the happy couple it was a painting in fact an ancient all press as well as a traditional russian sample. now with the syrian army in control across the country efforts are underway to rebuild a shattered nation in the latest of a series of reports he has done of travels to the city of aleppo to see how locals there is slowly picking up the pieces. much of the city of aleppo is still in ruins reviving it to its former glory is

a task of gargantuan proportions and of immense political and economic importance the citadel of aleppo has become the symbol of the city's resistance. but aleppo is much more than just a maze of antique streets and attractions from history books. the militants of stolen computer units with chips for the machines they destroyed the factory on purpose they wanted to damage syrian industry as a home and specifically industry in aleppo reviving this that. would.

see one rebel control of this area. and feed and basically very functional hunker. down want to be immense but now that the former industrial hub is slowly getting back on track things are finally looking up for the people of aleppo. two years ago during the war we couldn't even open our shops the shelling snipers were everywhere you couldn't live under such circumstances we covered the roof of the building back then so that we could take cover it was unbearable we took shelter for about half an hour whenever the shelling started we just locked ourselves in here thank god now we can work peacefully day and night we just hang around. just like the good old days the under joe a little the atmosphere is really good around here the weather is nice everybody is feeling safe and it's only getting better you can see getting better day by day.

i was lucky enough not to leave my home the kind this is the district the rebels couldn't get to at the time there was a blockade once but it was firmly lifted now saying god things are better despite all the things we've been through we're no better than one of them or when you know it's safe you can return home if your house lies in ruins you can still fix it the main thing is it's safe now. just a couple of years ago these turned used to protect people in the street from falling shows and debris well now they're sheltering them from the sun historically the city of aleppo has been the economic capital of syria and now with the world gone finally some traders are coming back to the streets. of reporting from aleppo in syria. meanwhile the u.s. state department says it will redirect american stabilisation funding planned for syria to other foreign policy efforts washington insists though this will not

affect his humanitarian assistance program it does come in saudi arabia pledges one hundred million dollars to syrian reconstruction projects however that money will only go to the northeast to syria a region under the control of u.s. backed kurdish forces and while some programs are cut or this do remain in place with the u.s. saying it will stay in syria for some time yet to fight against the last pockets of terrorists we remaining in syria the focus is the ensuring defeat of isis we still have not launched the final phase to defeat the physical caliphate this is actually being prepared now and that will come at a time for choosing but it is coming joshua landis head of middle east studies at the university of oklahoma says that america's in. tress in syria do you go beyond fighting terrorism the united states does not want a side to become too strong they are hoping to keep leverage in order to try to push iran out of the country to get

a better deal for the kurds and and of course they're also worried about what's going to happen if they're province where there is very complex negotiations and russia is at the heart of them so there are many competing agendas in washington and as long as president trump is not spending a lot of money there i think he's happy to keep a few thousand troops if that increases america's leverage. now the u.s. department of defense is planning to spend up to fifteen million dollars in the hands in the performance and insurance of its soldiers and this explains history does show there is reason to be wary. actually did. hollywood science fiction often depicts the soldiers of the future with all the talk of a space force from donald trump and fighting robots across the silver screen our

imagination has plenty of places to go. now on the surface a new grant from the pentagon for extramural biomedical research and development doesn't sound so bad the object is to create soldiers who can withstand even the harshest circumstances take a listen develop technologies to maximize the physiological performance of s.o.f. operators including enhanced in durance enhanced senses tolerance to environmental extremes and enhanced overall fitness in order to maintain operational posture ability in high stress scenarios without noticeable augmentation and without hampering. personnel mobility additionally the ability to accelerate the effects of sleep through methods requiring less time a vivid picture i know the prototype. and please.

come. now let's give this a little context this won't be the first time that the u.s. military has engaged in this kind of research. and. now at the time these grotesque experiments using american g.i.'s and civilians

essentially as lab rats at the time they were taking place the public knew nothing about it was all classified now the public documents indicate that these new experiments will not involve human beings only human simulators however anyone who is familiar with the not so well publicized but very well documented history of u.s. military research they'll certainly raise an eyebrow kaleb up and r.t. new york. russia is asked again the parent play that's the claim by the u.s. magazine the atlantic a because it says that the kremlin has set its sights firmly on meddling in the upcoming midterm elections to weaken america while the oscar goes on to explain moscow's alleged three step plan to break american. democracy we can have a look at them here number one on the russian hackers number two by corrupt us politicians and then number three support there you see think favorably of putin but it's not just the russian state that's come under suspicion the atlantic also

claims that this very channel helps undermine democracy by inviting on guests he dare to question mainstream narratives the magazine named brandon as an example he's the founder of the movement encouraging democrats to walk away from their party although the atlantic has failed to mention he talks to other media to well i i myself was a lifelong liberal democratic voter i would say kind of a democrat by default because i'm a gay man and i think that the expectation for a lot of minority groups is that we are supposed to vote democrat and that we are supposed to be liberals friend strake is spent years as a liberal he now says he's concerned by what the west has become well before the election i was already starting to feel uncomfortable with where we were headed in terms of identity politics and p.c. culture. the political commentator line explained why he thinks such and he russian articles get written nobody ever calls these people to task they are paid

for by volume or how many likes to do you get how many clicks hey that was a great article factually incorrect. factually based list and also the mentality just feeding frenzy of this this monster dysmorphia this monster that you must feed constantly with this no rush no nato no bad guy no bogeyman no so there's many reasons why the book even to straw man dispatcher the evil image of russia must be maintained. you're watching r.t. still to come to the occupy london movement has seen its facebook page taken down we'll tell you why just after the break.

we have no idea what so if he's doing a movie cation but she will be back on air in september. join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see of them. crazy conspiracy they're there they're all were there. the boss forgot about the back of the buses run them over the fuss because we want. wonder bread and fake news to you guys that's.

again maria the gun activists he's been charged with that thing is number i just did russian agents in the u.s. has been transferred to another prison with that is knowledge russian diplomats had compared the to mistreatment in custody you know cited the media hysteria around her case to the witch trials of the seventeenth century meanwhile the twenty nine year old has launched a crowdfunding campaign to pay for head legal defense on thursday russian diplomats visited big dinner in prison and said that she had been subjected to cruel treatment they claim she faces inhumane inspections the right each night and as a would say strips to any visit to raise also had been deprived of proper medical attention and is claimed she was suffering from swelling on her leg but was annie

given painkillers for the move she's not allowed to receive letters written in russian i would phase they could contain messages the russian embassy stress she still suspect that i was not a convict these updated this on her condition i was unaware that she was transferred until last night at around midnight i received a collect call from her at home in the phone was disconnected before we could get through but i knew it was from alexandria jail so i drove down and tried to get in last night and could not but was able to get in this morning and visit her so she is in alexandria detention facility at least for now for this weekend it's a smaller facility than the d.c. jail is respected facility but it's hard to know why the move was made where there was made for medical or other reasons or in response to complaints about the conditions in d.c. she does have arthritis in one of her legs kind of a history of problems with that leg so she saw treatment for that and so far has just received it all and nothing else and i think she's also been

a little bit frustrated by policy when people are protective custody they do bad checks every fifteen minutes at night check on detainee safety i think some. times the pentagon of the guard is you know the lights are turned on every time there's a check and so it's very hard to get proper sleep when you're being woken up every fifteen minutes she's segregated from the general population of the prison facility you know no contact really with outside people besides her lawyers and occasional phone calls and when you're being held. in some isolation like that it's difficult because every everything i think she wanted to do was kind of a one off request there is a very set schedule and so it was very difficult to make sure she was getting a proper exercise and. trips to the library and things like that because everything she did she had to do by yourself i'm not saying anyone would have an easy time in prison but in this is an accomplished student you know someone who i don't think ever envision spending a day in jail or a life to be in you know it's

a pretty tough facility when the alleged russian agent was arrested i remember thinking she was refused bail to pay to see a fool and i think she's innocent keys to buffering sex in the attempt to get a job at an unnamed special interest group if convicted to these and it could face up to fifteen years in prison yes it's been said to her trial but it remains optimistic. very good shape she's helping actively with us to prepare the defense she's confident in her innocence there's no allegation of espionage there's no allegation of classified information style geishas she was paying anyone off there's no allegation she was recruiting spies none of the things you would typically see in an espionage case the allegations are fairly vanilla that she attended meetings of various groups that were public that she had dinners with various people and she took a lot of selfies as i think a lot of people are twenty's do with with people she met and posted them on facebook so this is not the kind of a typical this is no comparison to what the allegations were against for example at

a chapman or others where there was actual whether or not there are actual allegations about the use of sophisticated equipment and payoffs and spy ring and things like that there's none of that here with some point maybe try to get her released pretrial again we're just looking through documents trying to find the proper evidence to do that i think we may be able to do that hopefully the next couple of weeks. now keep in mind london it pays to be the one thousand facebook friesen spree of shutting down accounts the social justice movement and his page taken down for several hours the movement says this is not the first time either that facebook has tried to send its content with my london was founded in twenty eleven and is positively global in the little guys in hundreds of process the games financial elites says is finding value equality and diversity i'll keep my london is a cliff a canadian present social media presence today with a random hundred fifty thousand followers on facebook some beliefs to palestine

post spoil compile and might be to blame facebook's action to facebook to comment on the social media giant has since apologized he will compile london saying it was all a mistake but one of the movement's activists. is inside convinced it would just you know sort of a polygamist. out of the blue probably wouldn't mean very much at all but the problem is this is part of a massive rear guard action i think by the establishment or anyone can go online and see the evidence this themselves chris hedges is a pulitzer prize winning journalist it's been one of those exposing most of the details of this but effectively what's happening in the name of dealing with fake news and many progressive websites that have been a major part of you know bernie sanders jeremy corbyn etc. they found the traffic going down. websites like alter net truthdig you know mainstream progressive websites it's been

a traffic program by seventy percent and these are algorithms devised in private nobody can inspect and have a huge impact on what information the world gets to see about what's going on and that's a hugely significant issue going forward the relevant thing today in terms of discussion is still a very powerful force online and has millions of people engaging with its posts and so it's very important that they are no others like them or not in the name of fake news effectively removed from most people's internet searches and i think this is a huge issue going forward bearing in mind that google and facebook are very very close to the american establishment you know the washington post is owned by jeff bezos he was and is an answer but not surprisingly he's very keen on using the washington post to make sure that the internet allows his articles to come up at the top of searches and no arms. no graffiti has been appearing in the spanish city of barcelona are encouraging holiday makers to jump off their hotel balconies some

of these suggest the potentially deadly practice known as balcony is actually fun one of the messages mockingly claims it improves the quality of life unlike cools the balcony can refer the reader to jumping into a pool from the balcony or climbing from one balcony to another the risky activities growing in popularity tourists and some hotels have banded and introduced fines. the balcony graffiti that sprung up in barcelona has sparked anger online with people pointing out that this year alone six people have died performing the stunt most of them were from britain or island the u.k.

foreign office has warned against engaging in the practice in the majority of axes and victims have been drunk and lost their balance we've got reaction from tourists in barcelona. thankfully i have seen where we need to go so i am out last night ok then there is no sir like many messages very violence like you against us i guess the same in them like they want to have the city for over and they know it's important to maintain jobs to make some money out of tourists were i think differently or some kind of tax why can i have this many tourists from beyond that it's more comfortable for and i have evidence for this as well but i think that's nice it just seems that it's so old and do so much and it should be accepting. for a formalised shouldn't really aggressive things to escape this it's the main source of income. but nothing like that just. was nice if it took.

if i would live here and i would see guys ruining my city. hall style sometimes as well like you're watching our team to national news wrap for the sad and forget they we've got plenty of stories to you on our website and you can find that at r.t. don't go. this

is the ca's a record show that goes deeper. so max we've been talking about social media quite a lot in the past year year and a half and the fact that these are giant monopolies that control much of the social media space however in this. hysteria that we've had since trump was elected and sure it was a shock to many in the corporate media that he won because they had promised with great certainty that it was ninety nine percent certain that hillary clinton was going to win the data they saw or they chose to look at was hillary clinton was going to win but that turned out to have been fake news they were wrong so since then we've had this whole backlash against fake news not the one they presented but what the individual citizens of america have been presenting so in the past week we saw facebook shut down these pages of activist groups here in washington d.c.

they shut down their facebook group because they said they acted like russians well it turns out they were actual citizens of america that are activists who were here in washington d.c. they were organizing to basically counter protest against the nazis that are coming into town to protest so they wanted to counter protest them facebook deleted them on the word of atlantic council and they're gone so also in the past week we saw under pressure from the resistance online that they took down a conspiracy theorist in the united states called alex jones they took down all his social media footprint data center ordinated attack between you tube google the other google properties apple to come off their apple i to facebook they all i deleted him from existence really at the same time at the same time within the same . analogy yeah who's just basically a satirist he is said in court he's

a performance artist there for the us to have a call there is the same threat an act is that cold air love hate strong s. and you know alex jones is the part of the network that does the macabre so that's what they'll it's competition assert. you know this is this is. competitive behavior yet this was like a coordinated attack within one hour it all happened within one hour all the social media the big four because we always have big for everything big for accountants big four banks big for tech monopolies oligarch police and they all to come down of course this is quite similar to when wiki leaks was also coordinated to cut off from the financial grid and that was the beginning of this wave of censorship where of course it's it's not the government it's these private corporations and somehow they can cut you off from the grid that is really under the domain of the government normally but that the monopoly for these many rails of our our

economies and our societies have been handed to private corporations in the us it's not us something government it's these corporations well you know during the previous robber baron when gray wealth was accumulated by carnegie's in the melons and things like that there was a sense that they had enormous influence over society and then gauging the whole self-censorship and the stupid cation of depopulation know they want to about creating public libraries they said you know we can do we can educate people so that when they're faced with multiple messages from different allies they have the education to give themselves agency in this multimedia world and you had in the sixty's were probably the apotheosis of the well informed educated media savvy america but since that time seventy's of course a lot to go center replaced hard money with money and junk money and junk media now

you have the government saying that nobody in america has the intelligence to decipher what's right or wrong accurate not accurate fake news propaganda real news is did they come in and with that a giant diaper. said you we need to wear this diaper all day long and we'll make sure you get a big hug because you choose to do baby you can't have any of it but the but in terms of our public squares in our public spaces now our reality is that most people spend their time online that is where they meet up with other individuals that's where they you know assemble on twitter on facebook but there aren't very many different options for the critical mass that you get from those monopolies you know they say if you're with a friend in the words in the bear starts chasing you so you don't have to run the berry just run your friend you know our shelters i was the guy that figured they'd

get first. but now that they've taken him off the air salem like they're coming after me now to tell you the truth because. they need complete unanimity in their message because remember they're hopped up to go to war and they want as many young men to sign up so they've got to get the propaganda machine rich deep strong and any dissent must be squashed well by the way alex jones is part of a long line of american sort of hucksterism of american talk radio that has been around for one hundred two hundred years that people have a lot of southerners especially talk like this there's a lot of snake oil salesman this is part of american history if you've ever read samak lyman's or mark twain or any of this literature of the are you know eighteenth or nineteenth century america you would say this is like is no different

from a long line of american freaks like this is what we do we're big car and same satirists like jonathan swift hear me out things about eating children and things that are patently over the top or orson welles the war of the worlds now if orson welles' did more of the world today the martian lobby would come out and say that you're infringing upon martian transsexuals or martians or green people and you're a man they needed their own bathroom right and then they would be pilloried and destroyed and one of the greatest authors of broadcasters motion picture and directors and writers in american history would have his career still crushed worse than the aftermath of citizen can't well again but who is who is deciding what speech is is fair with speech is good which feat speech is bad like who should be banned like i said they had led to council is a think tank who are financed by i think partly from the us state department but

mostly from like government which by. like you can say a lot of things and there's no first amendment there's no right to free speech there and yet they're getting to decide what is allowed to be heard by american citizens where we're supposed to be allowed to say whatever crazy idea comes into our head and not be punished for it we're allowed to assemble with freaks and not be punished for it because the hard protection but here the argument is a lot of people say well they're private companies and therefore they can block whoever they want because you don't have free speech on there but if they have a monopoly on those those rails of just like. television use it when we set three or four television channels and now we have i don't know thousands but before when we had one only a few television channels where everybody got their news they were more you know they had to allow public access they had to allow every freak of america had

a show locally in new york city or somewhere like that number of these media companies off soon going into the business of selling air and if you are a friend of the media companies you'll be allowed to breathe air if you're not a friend of the media companies you will be a six yet it to death the airwaves are simply the public's public domain and when corporations with governments collude to diminish the public still maintain the public loses its ability to have a common space that would define itself in terms of western civilization we're going back a centrally to the dark ages where you've got feudal lords like these media barons who are rationing out. barest a minimalist type of self-sustaining little paper trinket dollar nonsense to keep in slave population just healthy enough to keep clicking on it at facebook but not

strong enough to stage a successful revolt that's feudalism that's coming right now it's happening here in washington d.c. the tramples stop it maybe not the other thing i want to point out is that we have been covering this notion in china of the social credit score and if you have if you're a bad member of society and it could be things like you walked you jaywalked or you went over the speed limit at one point and the government gives you a social credit score that you get denied access to things like twitter to things like why it's a little pollution is so bad in china you have to wear a face mask and on and masks and it's connected to your i phone connected to the government if you say something as a government they will turn down your oxygen into the mask may do it three times in a row it's you get to zero your debt that's like saif i possibly future but right now today everybody here and on m.s.n. b.c. on fox news on c.n.n.

all the media agree on every commentator on twitter agrees that that is like totalitarianism this social credit score and yet they pushed for the same thing to happen alex jones basically has been pulled from the grid in the same way that the chinese government is imposing on their citizens through the social credit score so it's very similar except for they're saying well because it's a private company because it's google and facebook and twitter that these are private companies it's not really the government telling well at least from companies or operating out of the public airwaves. the apples trillion dollar market capitalization should be in part reimbursed to every american in there for a one k. plans or there are a plans as a stock dividend the fact that they can privately. remove from the public domain the wealth of the nation and in return give censorship and an extraordinarily bankrupt few tile nightmarish quagmire of piss and write lists junk

it is not american obviously well i mean of course there's censorship resistance on the block chain and there are alternatives developing and i reckon that this is going to be a good time for the censorship resistant sort of social media platforms like minds that com like steam and like all these other places where you can go and it's literally impossible to delete your content so it's out there and it's up there but in the meantime you know here again i just want to say that at least alex shows this conspiracy theories there's always the government behind every wacky conspiracy whether it's pizza gate or some other crazy theory but right now we have like lots of conspiracy theories presented on the mainstream media but those are kind of acceptable and they tend to be i believe my feeling is that when i watch rachel maddow in particular she's kind of seems like very similar to me in my eyes

to alex jones but her conspiracies are that not the government but the people of the united states the voters are somehow involved in a conspiracy against the government and against the elite the crazy conspiracy theorists there they're all worthless there are all manner of the bus forget about the back of the bus just run them over with the we because we want rush limbaugh wonder bread and fake news so you die that's america hey i take a break come back right after this go away. america was never great was founded on the rapes and murders. nothing changed so we

said no response so these situations that we're dealing with. people here is sad every day she is just sad people kill each other blood for killing children. there was just no way that people were going to just sit back and allow children to see and shot down law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with life this is the reason i have to ride like this it's a reason. to .

to protect him he said he called me up and basically he was in the. hospital he would be useful if. you were talking to this. does. not. come up i'll get it was immediately you get ready to leave. and that a lot of what i think about come out i skid but i'm about the same as art but i was up the money into. the times having no money i left my money how much. to say to me the and i'll leave them right so there is a long haul to moving the ball that was to be made by. other people more gulf ohmss that was on the ground.

i. feel. so. welcome back to the kaiser report i'm max kaiser time now to turn to max blumenthal who is senior editor at the gray zone project max welcome back to kaiser report good to be back you know the one question i want to ask you and just keep in the back your mind is that there's a timeline of how the slippery slope that america's falling down into some. absolute kind of tar pit of horribleness and we're going to we're going to come to that question a minute just keep that in the back you know my foot first. facebook they shut down the page for a local d.c.

based anti-fascist group the headline shouted to the american public that it was the russians but the activists were not russians ok your thoughts yes this was one of the few facebook pages organizing a counter protest to the upcoming neo nazi unite the right march all of the pages that were shut down by facebook most of which average between zero and seven followers clearly a threat this must be putin's thirteen dimensional chess to like out match the u.s. by attracting zero followers all of them were left wing liberal sites and some of them may have been fake this one was real and as i said at the beach when russia gate really exploded into the open and i said this very publicly it will blow that back on the left yet there's a point there's a point so when you go out there and you start censoring folks you know it now they can know where to stop and now it's blowing back it's all coming on the chickens are coming back and now it's like a just a madhouse of censorship ok what is the atlantic council coup finances them what

role is the atlantic council playing in monitoring and censoring content posted to facebook what anyone who's watching the show cares about independent media should know because facebook has been so important for those of us who are in alternative and. independent media that facebook has hired a group called d.f. r.l. lab which operates out of the nato and arms industry funded atlantic council also funded by saudi arabia and another bunch of pro freedom advocates in the gulf including turkey which arrests more journalists and any other country and. job is basically to market facebook's findings and takedowns of these pages and to justify it they put out a report on medium dot com justifying taking down these pages which were said to be russian they tried to link them to russia without coming up with conclusive proof the pages were wrecked the report was actually authored by the atlantic council's resident bot hunter who falsely identified two living human beings including

a british pensioner and vala sits a ukrainian concert pianist as russian bots and here he's linked pages like resistors and a page on mindfulness and holistic living to a supposed russian propaganda plot to sow division in the u.s. there's a racial undercurrent in the findings on this medium dot com post that one of the pages that was taken down was dedicated according to the atlantic council to celebrating the beauty of african women and black pride and that they concluded was an attempt to divide americans and so division so celebrating the beauty of black women is sowing division and that's how they're filching out these pages and it's it's very disturbing to me along with the fact that many of my alternative media colleagues like lee camp from redacted tonight have noticed that facebook is de prioritizing their posts they've refused to allow me to take out ads for my own

factual reporting and they've basically put a ceiling on the amount of followers people like lee camp can get something fishy is going on and i'm sure has been going to something so let's talk about alex jones for a second that he spent time in the doghouse for a while. ca is what i would call an extreme satirist is conspiracy theories etc are you know off the charts in terms of their connection to reality is that a lot of times us but in a we've seen the extreme such higher in the past and johnson swift for example his work of eating babies and things like that worker said it's just anyway all these major media companies cook seemed like they colluded they got on a conference call and they just all together at one time d. platform my thoughts on alex jones is that you know after nine eleven there was a lot of questioning about what was behind this attack and questioning of the official version i think there was an illegitimate side of the truth movement which was interested in internal explosions in the world trade center and you know false

flags and there was a legitimate side that was interested in the saudi connection which we validated and you know question asking legitimate questions about blowback things like that alex jones role was to eliminate the legitimate side and take everyone and take all that energy that was questioning the bush administration in the official line and move it to the right he started injecting anti immigrant vitriol into the kind of truth movement and just generally moved everyone to the right i think in that sense he's actually benefited the establishment but at this point he's been singled out kind of as the most prominent and chaos causing conspiracy theorists so he's the easiest target for silicon valley and collusion d. platforming across the board huge tech companies acting at the same time does that smack it what is there is there that if you have huge tech companies that can pretty much control everything we see and hear colluding with the government to shut down someone who i have nothing but contempt for and it's

a precedent for shutting the rest of us down it has to be opposed on principle i said the same thing writerly. someone i respect you know i say like he if you're out in the woods or their friend in a bears attacking you have to. run the bear is at that run your friend like for me out challenge with the guy who if they were going to come after alternative media they would eat him first yeah he's the most recognizable right bigger right and he's the most so they are they just ate him he made it into a richard linklater film you know as a cult figure ok so he's not you know now the next layer you know who's next type of thing i mean they're totally without control by the way i would actually say that r.t.d. was first and it's the easiest target because it's russian backed go after r.t. then you start taking on people who are simply you know private american backed individuals ok let me go to my my my original question is the timeline question i

remember at the receiving end the thirty ok so this sounds like dystopian nightmare stuff like you read in one thousand any four you know like this is media out of control censorship out of control so historically were what worse the precedent for this where we've seen this type of behavior before historically or is this unprecedented and are we going down a slippery slope somewhere with all this because it seems like now we're at a pier a point of no return in a lot of ways with something that's clearly out of control can you can you give us on a store a coal kind of view were we are it goes back to you know the founding of the united states we've never been a democracy can look at the alien and sedition act which limited speech you can look at the palmer raids under wilson which were just used to basically round up anyone promoting socialism inside the united states and arrested an entire generation of leftist and destroyed the you know the first real left wing movement

in the u.s. you can look at the mccarthy era everybody knows about the mccarthy era but now we're in a much more confusing era where a lot of people who are traumatized by the election of trump and the rise of trump ism. are willing to justify in their own minds the suppression of someone like alex jones who i find completely contemptible without considering the long term consequences and the consequences will be the same a limiting of speech this is being carried out by the i think the most dangerous element in the us which is the radical center the john brennan center the center of these you know former intelligence agents who have been hired as the radical center what is not a call center the you know the center of the american political mainstream which pushes the most radical policies from regime change around the world to structural adjustment policies on the third world and has completely destabilized entire regions of the world while posing as moderates they are the ones in control of the

suppose it rules based liberal international order that hasn't served the majority of people in the west and they cannot handle the fact that they are being rejected in the u.k. whether it's by people who voted for breaks that are people who are supporting jeremy corbyn and they've been rejected in the us whether it's by people who supported bernie sanders or what their vision of donald trump as an anti-establishment figure is and they came up with this plague of fake news in order to shut down alternative media as part of a general agenda to limit our freedom to think ok an international scene you've recently interviewed daniel ortega who's been a president nicaragua's a six thousand and seven there's been some recent unrest violence what's going on first according to the mainstream media presents it and then according to what you believe is actually happening it's really shocking if you just google nicaragua you'll find a greek chorus of pro regime change grey propaganda in every outlet from the

guardian to democracy now to the new york times and none of them did what i did have done what i did which was to actually go to nicaragua and talk to the masses of send in east. supporters who were abused and tortured during a violent right wing coup attempt that nearly shut down the country cost it five hundred million dollars and was designed not just to topple daniel ortega but to destroy the send in east a movement of two to two point five million people one of the most cohesive movements per progress of social change to benefit workers in latin america and that's what this is about it was about destroying an example of socialism to the rest of latin america it was funded substantially by usa id and the regime change arm of the united states the national endowment for democracy and we don't hear about any of that we don't meet any of the student leaders who were beaten half to death shot or tortured because they turned against this plan for regime change and

we see no analysis of it what it was was a classic color revolution like the kind we saw in eastern europe blended with the horrors of libya and syria except fortunately for the people of nicaragua the rebels in this case were not armed by the u.s. they had been the bloodshed would still be continuing to send in east the government has defeated a coup and in the us media it's still being portrayed as some kind of people's revolution it was a right wing counter revolution to diminish my own very similar very similar to what we saw in venezuela with the guardian buzz where the right wing opposition would close off entire neighborhoods with road blocks to try to damage the economy they would attack anyone any supporters of the government in that area and then they'd been given clashing with the police who were attempting to restore order they actually shared tactics online and even traveled to nicaragua to share their violent tactics and for the first time in nicaragua we didn't see this during the

civil war in the one nine hundred eighty s. supporters of the sent in east as were burned alive burned alive that's what we saw in venezuela the republic you million people lashed to trees and strip nude and whipped on video i interviewed the wife of a. police officer who on his day off was kidnapped by the opposition dragged by a truck and taken to a road block where he was burned alive on video the videos there for everyone to see but for some reason u.s. media isn't reporting this side and as i reported at the grey zone project doing working with a independent researcher in nicaragua to do a case by case analysis of each death that occurred between the middle of june and april eighteenth when this kicked off send in east as have probably suffered more deaths more murders at the hands of the opposition than the opposition suffered at the hands of daniel ortega government so this is the big lie that is being pushed in congress and in the media that ortega and his government have killed over three

hundred people that's totally false. the rats thanks me on the hazard thanks for having me was going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me most guys are and states i would like to i guess max blumenthal you can reach us on twitter a times report tonight by a. me me me me me me me me me it's a very rough furthur and you saw it's rough play modes and you have to fight to be able to them if. it was gunshots on top of them and still very fresh kill what happened in the morning of may need not. don't let me go back up for me you know i don't want. to see everybody in this world is ready to participate in

the good. old to live good wouldn't. you don't think about these if this old good or not you got three teams play fair and they are doing another patients. when lawmakers manufacture consent to stand up to the public well. when the running closest protect themselves. with the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. that's not doing nor middle of the room signals. the real need is real world.

you know world a big part of newton's law and conspiracy 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 bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. have been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you long for the rich eight point six percent market

saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trades per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember in one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. the third place now that i've been using.

he is holding talks with the german chancellor angela merkel in berlin with the iran nuclear deal and syrian reconstruction on the agenda. we visit one of the syrian cities worst hit by the war aleppo to witness the reconstruction process are fifty years under attack by islamic state and militants also to come the u.s. plans to spend up to fifteen million dollars on enhanced in soldiers physical performance and also their insurance warns future conflicts will take place in less medical and robust areas and repeated gun activists who's been charged with acting as a number of russian agents in the u.s. has been transferred to another prison we hear from the lawyer about her health and what to expect next in the case.

there are seven pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international in our top story this hour talks between bloody me putin and angler merkel are underway in berlin the rebuilding of syria as well as the iran nuclear agreement are among the key issues being discussed reporting from the german capital. here in schloss maze a book about the hour's drive from talks have been ongoing between shots on marco and president putin in the government residence just behind me here now from the outset the german chancellor was realistic about what could be expected as an outcome from these talks saying it's a working visit and nothing to spectacular should be expected nevertheless she did emphasize the importance of having a relationship a functional dialogue and communication with russia as the two leaders came out of

the building having signed the guestbook they did have points on which they could agreed that the german countryside here behind me is peaceful and delic that's far from how you could describe the relationship of the two leaders though they have clashed on numerous occasions with mrs merkel being a fierce critic of putin's on issues from human rights to ukraine they did today have points though on which they did agree syria being one of the key ones both of them agreeing that emphasis on humanitarian assistance and humanitarian help was the key to solving the conflict. should cities it's important to do move for the humanitarian situation in syria most importantly bring aid to its people and who loses areas where a few jews can return from abroad and the shooters are going to use this for my and that's this we have to do humanitarian catastrophe in syria that may be last

fighting now but that doesn't mean we have peace and order. the iran nuclear deal which of course the united states recently pulled out of was another point upon which they could agree with mr putin emphasizing the importance of maintaining that international deal sanctioned by the united nations security council. and. we will discuss the joint plan to wriggle room nuclear agreement it is extremely important to save this multilateral deal ok. grooved the un security council designed to strengthen. global security and nuclear nonproliferation a year during the year despite their previous rocky relationship mrs merkel and mr putin have been pushed together into a sort of political marriage of convenience future a rift with the united states both countries have been affected by u.s. tariffs russia has been affected by sanctions mrs merkel has been criticized for being overly reliant on russian gas imports indeed the nords dream to part from

project was also something that was discussed news headlines questioned what could really come out of these bilateral talks which side could gain water and who would come out on top in negotiations but as the day here draws to a close and the limousines pull up to take us back to their residences mrs merkel will take this as an opportunity to consolidate her position as a european leader capable of negotiating with russia and putin while the russian president will view this as a chance to take steps to bring russia out of its isolation through those sanctions and find common ground with one of his oldest political colleagues that hawkins reporting there will be for meeting mrs merkel putin did pay a quick social visit to austria to you because the russian president stopped off to attend the wedding of the country's foreign minister ceremonies been taking place in a vineyard in austria state some slammed the foreign minister there for inviting us into the wedding but it does seem the russian president did have a good time and even danced with the bride and many tried to guess what president

he'd give to the happy couple it was in fact a painting an ancient oil press and also recreational russian samovar. i was the rock the syrian army reestablishing control across the country efforts are underway to rebuild a shattered nation and the latest in a series of reports he goes off travels to the city of aleppo to see how locals there a slowly picking up the pieces. much of the city of aleppo still ruins reviving it to its former glory is a task of gargantuan proportions and of immense political and economic importance the citadel of aleppo has become the symbol of the city's resistance.

but aleppo is much more than just a maze of antique streets and attractions from history books. the militants of stolen computer units with chips with the machines they destroyed the factory on purpose they wanted to damage syrian industry as a home and specifically in the street in aleppo reviving this that was the. one rebel control of this area. and basically a very dysfunctional uncle that you. want to be. but now that the former industrial hub is slowly getting back on track things are

finally looking up for the people of alaska. two years ago during the war we couldn't even open our shops the shelling snipers. everywhere you couldn't live under such circumstances we cover the roof of the building back then so that we could take cover it was unbearable we took shelter for about half an hour whenever the shelling started we just locked ourselves in here thank god now we can work peacefully day and night we just hang around smoking just like the good old days the undertow a little the atmosphere is really good around here the weather is nice everybody is feeling safe and it's only getting better you can see getting better day by day lanham outlet i was lucky enough not to leave my home the wind this is the district the rebels couldn't get to at the time there was a blockade once but it was firmly lifted now same god things are better despite all the things we've been through we're no better than one of them when you know it's safe you can return home if your house lies in ruins you can still fix it the main

thing is it's safe now. just a couple of years ago these turned used to protect people in this street from falling shows and debris well now they're sheltering them from the sun historically the city of aleppo has been the economic capital of syria and now with the world gone finally some traders are coming back to its streets. reporting from aleppo in syria. meanwhile the u.s. state department says it will redirect american stabilisation funding planned for syria to other foreign policy efforts washington assist that this will not affect its humanitarian assistance program it does come as saudi arabia pledges one hundred million dollars to syrian reconstruction projects however that money will only go to the northeast of the country or region under the control of u.s. backed kurdish forces and why are some programs are cut of this do remain in place

with the u.s. saying it will stay in syria for some time yet to fight against the last pockets of terrorists we remain. in syria the focus is the ensuring defeat of isis we still have not launched the final phase to defeat the physical kind of fight this is actually being prepared now and that will come at a time for choosing but it is coming joshua landis head of middle east studies at the university of oklahoma says that america's interests in syria do go beyond fighting terrorism the united states does not want aside to become too strong they are hoping to keep leverage in order to try to push iran out of the country to get a better deal for the kurds and and of course they're also worried about what's going to happen if their province where there are very complex negotiations and russia is at the heart of them so there are many competing agendas in washington and as long as president trump is not spending

a lot of money there i think he's happy to keep a few thousand troops if that increases america's leverage. meanwhile the u.s. department of defense is planning to spend up to fifteen million dollars and hung in the performance and insurance of its soldiers now explains history does show there is perhaps reason to be wary. actually did. hollywood science fiction often depicts the soldiers of the future with all the talk of a space force from donald trump and fighting robots across the silver screen our imagination has plenty of places to go. now on the surface a new grant from the pentagon for extramural biomedical research and development

doesn't sound so bad the object is to create soldiers who can withstand even the harshest circumstances take a listen develop technologies to macs. the physiological performance of s.o.f. operators including enhanced in durance enhanced senses tolerance to environmental extremes and enhanced overall fitness in order to maintain operational posture ability in high stress scenarios without noticeable augmentation and without hampering personnel mobility additionally the ability to accelerate the effects of sleep through methods requiring less time a vivid picture i know the prototype. and the. now let's give this a little context this won't be the first time that the u.s. military has engaged in this kind of research.

at the time these grotesque experiments using american g.i.'s and civilians essentially as lab rats at the time they were taking place the public knew nothing about it was all classified now the public documents indicate that these new experiments will not involve human beings only human simulators however anyone who is familiar with the not so well publicized very well documented history of us

military research they'll certainly raise an eyebrow kaleb up and r.t. new. org. russia has asked again apparently that's the claim by the u.s. magazine the atlantic here because it does say that the kremlin has set its sights firmly on meddling in the upcoming midterm elections to weaken america the article does go on to explain moscow alleged three step plan to break american democracy and have a look at it here firstly unleash russian hackers and then secondly by corrupt us politicians and thirdly support those who do think favorably of putin but it's not just the russian state that's come under suspicion the atlantic also claims this very channel helps undermine democracy by inviting on guests who dare to question the mainstream narratives the magazine names brandon strike as an example he is the founder of a movement encouraging democrats to walk away from their party although the

atlantic does fail to mention he talks to other media outlets to well i myself was a lifelong liberal democratic voter i would say a democrat by default because i'm a gay man and i think that the expectation for a lot of minority groups is that we are supposed to vote democrat and that we are supposed to be liberals strake is spent years as a liberal he now says he's concerned by what the west has become well before the election i was already starting to feel uncomfortable with where we were headed in terms of identity politics and p.c. culture. political commentator lionel explains why he thinks that such anti russian articles get written. nobody ever calls these people to task they're paid for by volume or how many likes to do you get how many clicks hey that was a great article factually incorrect. factually a baseless and also the mentality just feeding frenzy of this this monster this

mob this monster that you must feed constantly with us no russia no nato no bad guy no bogeymen so there's many reasons why the bookie made the straw man the specter the evil image of russia must be maintained. international we're going to take a quick break and i will be back and see. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so if you want to be president. for something wanted us. to do right. this is what the. korean people are. interested

in the. show seems wrong. why don't we just don't call. me. yet to say proud to stay active. and engaged but it was betrayed. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back now maria buton a gun activists who has been charged with acting as an unregistered russian agent

in the u.s. has been transferred to another prison without her lawyers knowledge russian diplomats had compared boot and its treatment in custody and also the media hysteria around the case to the witch trials of the seventeenth century meanwhile the twenty nine year old has launched a crowdfunding campaign to pay for her legal defense on thursday russian diplomats visited boots in prison and said she'd been subjected to cruel treatment they claim that she faces in humane inspections throughout each night and is also strip searched after any visitor maries also been deprived of proper medical attention it is claimed she was suffering from swelling on her leg but was only then given painkillers for the more she's not allowed to receive letters written in russian overseas they could contain messages the russian embassy stress though she is still a suspect and not a convict and his lawyer updated us on her condition. i was unaware that she was transferred until last night at around midnight i received

a collect call from her at home and the phone was disconnected before we could get through but i knew it was from alexandria jail so i drove down and tried to get in last night and could not but is able to get in this morning and visit her so she is in alexandria detention facility at least for now for this weekend it's a smaller facility than the d.c. jail as respected facility but it's hard to know why the move was made where there was made for medical or other reasons or in response to complaints about the conditions in d.c. she does have arthritis in one of her legs kind of a history of problems with that leg so she sought treatment for that and so far has just received tylenol and nothing else and i think she has also been a little bit frustrated by policy when people are protective custody they do bad checks every fifteen minutes at night check on detainee safety and i think sometimes depending on who the guard is you know the lights are turned on every time there's a check and so it's very hard to get proper sleep when you're being woken up every fifteen minutes she's segregated from the general population of the prison facility

you know no contact really with outside people besides her lawyers and occasional phone calls and when you're being held. in some isolation like that it's difficult because every everything i think she wanted to do was kind of a one off request there isn't a very set schedule and so it was very difficult to make sure she was getting a proper exercise and. trips to the library and things like that because everything she did she had to do by herself and doesn't anyone would have an easy time in prison but in this is an accomplished student you know someone who i don't think ever envision spending a day in jail or a life to be in you know it's a pretty tough facility the alleged russian agent was arrested over a month ago she was refused by a lot of the paid. guy kings of offering sex in the tent to get a job at an unnamed special interests and they can be cynical. face up to fifteen niece in prison no date has been set yet for her trial but it does remain

optimistic she's in very good shape she's helping actively with us to prepare the defense she's confident in her innocence there's no allegation of espionage there's no allegation of classified information style geishas she was paying anyone off there's no allegation she was recruiting spies none of the things you would typically see in an espionage case the allegations are fairly banal that she attended meetings of various groups that were public that she had dinners with various people and she took a lot of selfies as i think a lot of people are twenty's do with with people she met and post them on facebook so this is not the kind of a typical this is no comparison to what the allegations were against for example at a chapman or others where there was actual whether they were true or not their actual allegations about use of sophisticated equipment and payoffs and spy ring and things like that there's none of that here with some point maybe try to get her released pretrial again we're just looking through documents trying to find the

proper evidence to do that and i think we may be able to do that hopefully the next couple of weeks. now occupy london that does the pay to be the latest victim a face book's recent spree of shutting down accounts social justice movement how did the page taken down for several hours on the movement says this is not the first on facebook is try to censor its content either ok pylon to miss founded twenty eleven it is part of a global movement to organizing hundreds of crime tests against financial elite says its founding quality and it will save diversity by london has a significant social media presence too with around one hundred fifty thousand followers on facebook some believe certain pride of palestine. may have been to blame for facebook's action we asked facebook to comment on this on this issue media giant synced apologised to occupy london saying it was there were a mistake but one of the movement's activist george bada isn't so convinced. just

you know sort of a blip a mistake out of the blue it probably wouldn't mean very much at all but the problem is this is part of a massive rear guard action i think by the establishment or anyone can go online and see the evidence this themselves chris hedges is a pulitzer prize winning journalist it's been one of those exposing most the details of this but effectively what's happening in the name of dealing with fake news and many progressive websites that have been a major part of you know bernie sanders jeremy corbyn etc. they use they found the traffic going down. websites like alter net truthdig you know mainstream progressive websites using the traffic load down by seventy percent literally and these algorithms devised in private nobody can inspect and have a huge impact on more information the world gets to see about what's going on and that's a hugely significant issue going forward the relevant thing today in terms of discussion is still a very powerful force online and has millions of people engaging with its post and

so it's very important that they and others like them are not in the name of fake news effectively removed from most people's internet searches and i think this is a huge issue going forward bearing in mind that google and facebook are very very close to the american establishment you know the washington post is owned by jeff bezos he was and is an answer but not surprisingly he's very keen on using the washington post to make sure that the internet allows his articles to come up at the top of searches and no arms. graffiti has been appearing in the spanish city of barcelona or encouraging holidaymakers there to jump off their hotel balconies some of it suggests that the potentially deadly practice known as balcony is actually fun one of the graffiti messages mockingly claims it improves the quality of life for locals balcony can refer to either jumping into a pool from a balcony or climbing from one balcony to another the risky activities growing in

popularity with tourists and some hotels a band-aid and introduced fines. well the balcony graffiti that sprung up in barcelona has sparked online anger to you with people pointing out that this year alone six people have died performing the stunt most of them were from britain or island the u.k. foreign office today was warned against engaging in the practice in the majority of accidents victims have been drunk and lost their balance we got reaction from tourists in barcelona. thankfully i see we're waiting to post so i am out last night ok when there is no sir like many messages saying violence like

things are against us i guess the same of them like they want to have the city for over and they know it's important to maintain jobs to make some money out of tourists were i think this is some kind of tax why can i have this many tourists on the on that it's not comfortable for and have had to decide for herself roles i think last night such a sea change that's just so old and is so much changed and it should be accepting the current foreign policy students i question things to escape this it's the main source of anything. but nothing and i think it's just. nice if it took place if i would live here and i read see the guys ruining my city. hall style sometimes with the like and that is the news for now we're back again with all thieves in thirty five.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crimes happen each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent for us last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember of one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i

would prefer and it means no in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict just found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no way to hadn't been that we were even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victim's families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.

a new stage appeared on the world map in two thousand and eleven south sudan. gets separated from its neighbor sudan after an independence referendum. since then between government and insurgent troops has never stopped it is in fact a continuation of a much older struggle between different tribal factions. yeah

a big big one to complete your selfish easy to me scene from the from the chain but like human by. you get the patients you know that of all the patients some of them not to be injured during the war he would tease you don't think about these you know the soldier on not you just read like a and the other and the other patients. say. this is the city of good luck just twenty kilometers from the frontline. it's under the control of opposition troops consisting mostly of members of the chinook tribe

. the red cross hospital here is now the only facility of the whole up an oil area of the country still able to provide medical aid. you cannot. get a good. job. out of it. and i think you know looking at it like. i'm just off. the top. i. had. a little bit differently. actually as you say. that past fifty fifth and she.

does most of. the benefits of a. solo it's only he's good. in some just being felt a good idea to be patient with these three old sunday and it was a bit too much and the final thing as we had done was it was just just that then one night leave me out expecting. it. was just totally i did this much snow at work and it was. when. people. hear me just looking pretty good. you. know. i'm not the sort of knocking about sentiment

that i mean everybody will slip through to the. next thing you know you do and you feel you're going to have to conclude it can suspend it could hurt. and injure interested in all the polls show a spokesman for most cases you know if i was the only two. peas in the time if someone. getting stupid off from watching your movements for luke. i'll. ask you two more than. ever before you got. to.

tell them to. go. so life. would. not be from one thousand nine hundred ninety and i'm mr john and. there was the flight. fight thing we did to day. you know i didn't want to go and what all of the things and then we got to the integration but missing something about i don't like to speak much about these. men being something some mission since syria i've been set on in freetown i mean by central african republic and then finally if i do stuff with the

i.c.r.c. are you dealing with that when the patients. think if this person. and if you don't. this one took him fifty years ago in this position two games here. between two. smoke. from the smoke that i'm going to push that may never make it but it. will. be. surreality pain just don't you think someone. just function it's become very nice that you can tell i'm going to get.

out. of here i mean that more and i'm going to need. it happens i've got faith often oh no though it's afghanistan that in this month i got twice like the situation of seventeen fifteen patients and then one hour a week at the three of them and then most of them are injured so they'd need surgery in two days. in the show looking. our land. was given by some book at least we see paul the dog called then cut open dundon. dog because of the water with good old troop

and those didn't cuss so it is to sit in the form of between two ply easy zorro sources including the gun to fight the shoot. not his own kids. and we're going to demanding goddaughter lund must be given back to us. like barry that you need to maybe heads here and put them up and working with all of you who have taught me a lot you you've shown me many anything you have a strength that i've never seen anywhere else. and i would also like to welcome back to you who is the new head of office in kota. thank you so much for the welcome you feel very welcome this royal welcome i

think i. was going to be a good. was. you you know. why don't you like a little. bit so we go ok you know someone is a he just likes it so you got all those six volunteers right. and i think you might have serious. if you want. to stop this from a landslide and they sound good for you but the v.h.f. is the case he. thinks and. i had to tell us we're going to. have

a pickup. yes this is mobile fourteen zero five and eight and nine it's leaving conduct to a bit of which i would watch over. the next contact one hour one hour over. the vertigo and. already. think. you know some come for.

the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. who want to know how most of us thought the world of sympathy i want to become lost in the last post on this but if many of them look for refuge in the so-called centrist

sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities the best person to ask than call mom. most needed more don't have it up next time i get i'm in a lot of class and i want that. they have water they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house all over for the gravels. both of you who are the who could be about to be the government affairs it struggles of many couples won't. trust the push to put impulse response both. of you out to the pub to the hope of the. final bill and also that it can get out now how does it. keep the point about. wanting to feel you'd be would it be that easy to find a friend that out in me. plus.

the city people. didn't. want to. i thought it might have been my little bit of a wonderful not that i little bit out of the fact that i love my country no doubt much of the way for the mob to get together but in. this one does leave. some borders of. the sea. you think will probably. this is

a historically known place the first the first time what they're calling the enterprise of the british and the french decided to stop and go their separate ways. and happened here in this inner kingdom so they had. their own culture and sovereignty for many centuries now. it's a very rough terrain just so it's rough climates and you have to fight to be able to live and to find enough. south sudan soil is so first that it can't you just you harvest a year however because of the continuing hostilities people have no time not even to cultivate the land a devastating humanitarian catastrophe is taking hold in several of the countries states famine the red cross hospital is now the only place where many can actually find something to eat.

i'm not worried. about but i love them enough enough i know. the young i don't know but i guess they didn't. give me time then let. me say i'm a some man my you mean you don't know what i'm telling you to get us out. i know you want to about how high it was i want. to know how. to win here. own town boy how am i going to kind of want. iow you can't actually do can someone you know know me. in my two year old young man bagging of one young man i need to give in my stomach as bad a getting a question. in my head well the thing knowing if. i don't know you you will see you

can i mean many like they'd ask a newbie to the moon then any minute of it i play on the eve of a part of my mom and let my you know he was of my many get money that i have a unique and. don't know what people and or less ninety points. that no concern aboard the total deal won't always of what we want in the government they just need security i do that when business comes to beijing the good because if we'll believe that it's.

in two thousand and thirteen south sudan's president salva kiir from the dinka tribe to stir up the ethnic balance within the country's government he dismissed the vice president and several kemet of members all of whom were from the new a tribe they immediately led an armed opposition soon to be joined by the should look tribe. did the beginning of the warming of the point i mean it was it is and i cannot tell you exactly in this area but. over two hundred level would have come as well as if i myself if i cannot defend myself i would just be killed so many people died because when they meet this is a genocide people i given them said according to try to see a bit of what is in this rule and is ready to participate in the good the war is not a political war. because it is owed to me go to a meeting with police. no

we're just beginning with you want to go through a bit and then must say no we're just putting sugar. extrusion. the sugar spent still at least from an injection then promotes to eating those that wouldn't just it's too fast or didn't. and you do it just a day to dressings for the shingles. you're getting now the only numbers that are good as i get. there when they get away. from there will be that i. not only was the one bit giddy. going to good water for them while they did the bus i. had to do. i'm a going to sit at a key didn't back in the old but. not a member of my. own i and get with it and then but you were the weak

assassin and i think we were we meant we knew it again you know you could do with a good number of them in a baby they can be getting mad food when you hear good they will be mad that you know what you were doing a good outing ok then a year later would do it and you. have a long one you know you have a good. down it's an old on the way and i didn't know were going to be. ok did out of if you were going to and i'm over it you're going for the. security. and look at your. own power. so he didn't sleep last night. he. didn't sneak he didn't hold us kids should do it quick don't worry.

so what we're trying to just do and just there on this nice structure cold he said it was not. yet what procedure but his relief team was old brain for life to interfere or worse probably. and then in the long. haul this is still. a decent. injection. wasn't bending down. all things. let's say that. i'm still new just to most all this my book in the course of. this literature are those for you to do just bundle with.

some nuclear that pull out that with it's new but all this with its western. cultures which are. sometimes still. photographs you know over it again yes and eternal of us of watching from a. young man i know i know that i want to have ice caps that night. also it isn't this month until. late at night and i don't know when you're here. you know. largest part of you know. got some i mean i just got

a feeling why do you. think. snow. you mean what is your greatest. fear for. your. son disclosure forms.

and. they're not. going to leave. ok. well for all. the child. that was.

you know with that when you're losing a lot of leads the day you're not getting the having baby and you having. a meeting with the body doesn't mean will be just that. if she wants two parts to let you come close by saying this one that's ok but it turned out she should not force her it's some it's not something the process. you can just come to submit to i just laid down. a midwife. and but i support of the department because if there is no get to mass hold make now that is not to get trisha and the medical doctor was

not there so i also heard there. was plenty. of you will do to him what indeed is true and still she wants to see. if you can no problem because of you. know just money at least a month that. you need to. know that. i. don't i didn't want to make up. more i voted. well you have a. lot of the people that love the. yukon honey to do. that . so you need to explain to them to make sure that they give these

fun times when trying to. sometimes change. what is so stressful but now you have to compost yes they have because if you have so much stress then you get confused time to you know tend to be efficient. will be very happy when may i help up a share and the patient gets away and. that's that's when i. don't have to. america was never great was founded on the rapes and the murder. nothing changed so

we said all response to these situations that we're dealing with. people get shot every day she is just sad people kill each other blood for killing children. so it was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down by law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this this can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i have to write like this is a reason. to forgive him but he said. open up and face the people in the. nasi lemak this is who. we're talking to these.

lists and. it's already. been that a lot of any of us come out of a skid but i'm going to look at him as our what a lot of us up the money into the magazine about you know. how to do no harm no i left my own home and. just say. this on their own space of long and i've been using all metaphors of you made by. other people who've got films of office on the.

talks with germany's angela merkel just outside nuclear deal and syrian reconstruction need gender. more to come as we visit one of the city's worst hit by the war in syria aleppo to witness the reconstruction process the there are two years under attack by islamic state militias and the u.s. plans to spend up to fifteen million dollars on handsome soldiers for formants and also insurance it warns future conflicts will take place unless medically broke last areas. of the activists who's been charged with acting as number of russian agents in the u.s. has been transferred to another prison we heard from a lawyer about her health and what to expect in the case.

hello there is midnight here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now russian president vladimir putin and german chancellor angela merkel have concluded talks palace near berlin there were several topics on the agenda including the rebuilding of syria and also the iran's nuclear agreement reporting from germany his daniel hawkins. here in schloss maze a book about the hour's drive from talks have been ongoing between shots on marco and president putin in the government residence just behind me here now from the outset the german chancellor was realistic about what could be expected as an outcome from these talks saying it's of working visit and nothing to spectacular should be expected nevertheless she did emphasize the importance of having a relationship a functional dialogue and communication with russia as the two leaders came out of

the building having signed the guestbook they did have points on which they could agree that the german countryside here behind me is peaceful and they're like that's far from how you could describe the relationship of the two leaders though they have clashed on numerous occasions with mrs merkel being a fierce critic of putin's on issues from human rights to ukraine they did today have points though on which they did agree syria being one of the key ones both of them agreeing that emphasis on humanitarian assistance and humanitarian help was the key to solving the conflict. she would certainly should cities it's important to do move for the humanitarian situation in syria and most importantly bring aid to its people and hope losing their ears were a few jews can return from abroad in the shooters are going to use this for my end that we have to do humanitarian catastrophe in syria then maybe last fighting now

but that doesn't mean we have peace and order. the iran nuclear deal which of course the united states recently pulled out of was another point upon which they could agree with mr putin emphasizing the importance of maintaining that international deal sanctioned by the united nations security council. and. we will discuss the joint plan to rig the iran nuclear agreement it is extremely important to save this multilateral deal. proved the u.n. security council designed to strengthen global security and nuclear nonproliferation and your response to and despite their previous rocky relationship mrs merkel and mr putin have been pushed together into a sort of political marriage of convenience through to a rift with the united states both countries have been affected by u.s. tariffs russia has been affected by sanctions mrs merkel has been criticized for being overly reliant on russian gas imports indeed the nords dream to part from

project was also something that was discussed news headlines questioned what could really come out of these bilateral talks which side could gain watson who would come out on top in negotiations but as the day here draws to a close and the limousines pull up to take us back to the resident sees mrs merkel will take this as an opportunity to consolidate her position as a european leader capable of negotiating with russia and putin while the russian president will view this as a chance to take steps to bring russia out of its isolation through those sanctions and find common ground with one of his oldest political colleagues dan hawkins reporting there will be for meeting the putin did pay a quick visit a social visit to austria because the russian president stopped off to attend the wedding of the country's foreign minister.

the ceremony took place in the green there in the trees thirty est something slammed the foreign minister go from viking peace into the wedding and it seems the russian president did have a very good time even dancing then the bride and many tried to guess what president he'd give the happy couple it was in fact a painting a nation all pressed and also additional russian sounds. like a. now with the syrian army reestablishing control across the country efforts are underway to rebuild a shattered nation in the latest in a series of reports he goes down off travels to the city of aleppo to see how locals to slowly picking up the pieces. much of the city of aleppo still ruins reviving it to its former glory is a task of gargantuan proportions and of immense political and economic importance

the citadel of aleppo has become the symbol of the city's resistance. but aleppo is much more than just a maze of antique streets and attractions from history books. the militants have stolen computer units with chips for the machines they destroyed the factory on purpose they wanted to damage syrian industry as a whole and specifically in the street in aleppo reviving this that. was. one rebel the goal of this area. and feet and basically very dysfunctional

hunker. down want to be immense but now that the former industrial hub is slowly getting back on track things are finally looking up for the people of aleppo. two years ago during the war we couldn't even open our shops the shelling snipers were everywhere you couldn't live under such circumstances we covered the roof of the building back then so that we could take cover it was unbearable we took shelter for about half an hour whenever the shelling started we just locked ourselves in here thank god now we can work peacefully day and night we just hang around. just like the good old days the under joe a little the atmosphere is really good around here the weather is nice everybody is feeling safe and it's only getting better you can see getting better day by day land. i was lucky enough not to leave my home the wind this is the district the rebels couldn't get to at the time there was

a blockade once but it was firmly lifted now saying god things about or despite all the things we've been through we're no better than one of them when you know it's safe you can return home if your house lies in ruins you can still fix it the main thing is it's safe now. just a couple of years ago these turned used to protect people in the street from falling shows and debris well now they're sheltering them from the sun historically the city of aleppo has been the economic capital of syria and now with the world gone finally some traders are coming back to streets. of reporting from aleppo in syria. meanwhile the u.s. state department has said it will redirect american stabilisation funding planned for syria to other foreign policy efforts washington doesn't says though this will not affect a humanitarian assistance program but it does come a saudi arabia pledges one hundred million dollars to syrian reconstruction

projects however that cash will only go to the northeast of the country or region under the control of u.s. backed kurdish forces and while some programs are cut others do remain in place but the u.s. saying it will stay in syria for some time yet to fight against the last pockets of terrorists. we're remaining in syria the focus is the ensuring defeat of isis we still have not launched the final phase to defeat the physical caliphate this is actually being prepared now and that will come at a time for choosing but it is coming joshua landis head of middle east studies at the university of oklahoma says that america's interest in syria go beyond fighting terrorism the united states does not want assad to become too strong there you are hoping to keep leverage in order to try to push iran out of the country to get a better deal for the kurds and and of course they're also worried about what's

going to happen if their products where there are very complex negotiations and in russia is at the heart of that so there are many competing agendas in washington and as long as president trump is not spending a lot of money there i think he's happy to keep a few thousand troops if that increases america's leverage. meanwhile the u.s. department of defense is planning to spend up to fifteen million dollars in hands and before months and the insurance of its soldiers but it's kind of explains history does show there is reason to be wary. i. actually did. hollywood science fiction often depicts the soldiers of the future with all the talk of a space force from donald trump and fighting robots across the silver screen our imagination has plenty of places to go.

now on the surface a new grant from the pentagon for extramural biomedical research and development doesn't sound so bad the object is to create soldiers who can withstand even the harshest circumstances take a listen develop technologies to maximize the physiological performance of s.o.f. operators including enhanced in durance enhanced senses tolerance to environmental extremes and enhanced overall fitness in order to maintain operational posture ability in high stress scenarios without noticeable augmentation and without hampering personnel mobility additionally the ability to accelerate the effects of sleep through methods requiring less time a vivid picture i know the prototype. please.

now let's give this a little context this won't be the first time that the u.s. military has engaged in this kind of research. for. the. ok you know. now at the time these grotesque experiments using american g.i.'s and civilians essentially as the lab rats at the time they were taking place the public knew

nothing about it was all classified now the public documents indicate that these new experiments will not involve human beings only human simulators however anyone who is familiar with the not so well publicized but very well documented history of u.s. military research they'll certainly raise an eyebrow. r.t. new york. russia is asked again the parent li that's the claim by the u.s. magazine the atlantic because it says the kremlin has set its sights firmly on meddling in the upcoming midterm elections to weaken america the article does go on to explain moscow's alleged three step plan to break american democracy and here it is to firstly unleashed russian hackers then secondly by corrupt us politicians and thirdly support those who think favorably of putin but it's not just the russian state this come under suspicion because the atlantic or so claims this very channel helps undermine democracy by inviting on guests who dare to question the mainstream

narratives the magazine maims brandon straka is an example he is the founder of a movement encouraging democrats to walk away from their party will vote the atlantic does fail to point out he also talks to the media to. well i i myself was a lifelong liberal democratic voter i would say kind of a democrat by default because i'm a gay man and i think that the expectation for a lot of minority groups is that we are supposed to vote democrat and that we are supposed to be liberals friend straight has spent years as a liberal he now says he's concerned by what the left has become well before the election i was already starting to feel uncomfortable with where we were headed in terms of identity politics and p.c. culture. political commentator line and explained why he thinks that russian articles get written nobody ever calls these people to task they're paid for by volume or how many likes to get how many clicks hey that was

a great article factually incorrect. factually based list and also the mentality just feeding frenzy of this this monster dish mob this monster that you must feed constantly with this no rush no nato no bad guy no boogey man so there's many reasons why the book even the straw men dispatcher the evil image of russia must be maintained. he was not international we'll be back with more news just awful. you know world big partisan group lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to dig deeper to get 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 shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is project themselves. in the frame a merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room. is really.

low again. gun activists he's been charged with acting as an unregistered russian agent in the us has been transferred to another prison without her lawyers knowledge russian diplomats had compared the two mistreatment in custody and also the media hysteria around her case to the witch trials of the seventeenth century meanwhile the twenty nine year old has launched a crowdfunding campaign to pay for her legal defense on thursday russian diplomats visited boots in prison and said that she has been subjected to cruel treatment they claim she faces inhumane inspections throughout each night and is also strip searched after any visitor results are being deprived of proper medical attention to it is claimed. she was suffering from swelling on her leg but was only given painkillers furthermore she's not allowed to receive letters written in russian

over fears they could contain coded messages the russian embassy stress that she is still a suspect and not a convict you see his lawyer updated us on her condition. i was unaware that she was transferred until last night at around midnight i received a collect call from her at home and the phone was disconnected before we could get through but i knew it was from alexandria jail so i drove down and tried to get in last night and could not but i was able to get in this morning and visit her so she is in alexandria detention facility at least for now for this weekend it's a smaller facility than the d.c. jail as respected facility but it's hard to know why the move was made where there was made for medical or other reasons or in response to complaints about the conditions in d.c. she does have arthritis in one of her legs kind of a history of problems with that leg so she sought treatment for that and so far has just received tylenol and nothing else and i think she has also been a little bit frustrated by policy when people are in protective custody they do bad

checks every fifteen minutes at night to check on detainee safety and i think sometimes depending on who the guard is you know the lights are turned on every time there's a check and so it's very hard to get proper sleep when you're being woken up every fifteen minutes she's segregated from the general population of the prison facility you know no contact really with outside people besides her lawyers and occasional phone calls and when you're being held it's in some isolation like that it's difficult because every every thing she wanted to do was kind of a one off request there isn't a very set schedule and so it was very difficult to make sure she was getting a proper exercise and. trips to the library and things like that because everything she did she had to do by yourself doesn't anyone would have an easy time in prison but in this is an accomplished student you know someone who i don't think ever envision spending a day in jail or a life to be in you know it's a pretty tough facility. well the alleged russian agent was arrested over a month ago she was refused by laughter pleading not guilty

a fortnight ago she's also accused two of offering sex in the attempt to get a job at an unnamed special interest group if convicted buton it could face up to fifteen years in prison no date has been set for her trial as yet but a lawyer remains optimistic. very good shape she's helping actively with us to prepare the defense she's confident in her innocence there's no allegation of espionage there's no allegation of classified information childish and she was paying anyone off there's no allegation she was recruiting spies none of the things you would typically see in an espionage case the allegations are fairly vanilla that she attended meetings of various groups that were public that she had dinners with various people and she took a lot of selfies as i think a lot of people are twenty's do with with people she met and posted them on facebook so this is not the kind of a typical this is no comparison to what the allegations were against for example at a chapman or others where there was actual whether or not there are actual

allegations about the use of sophisticated equipment and payoffs and spy ring and things like that there's none of that here with some point maybe try to get her released pretrial again we're just looking through documents trying to find the proper evidence to do that i think we may be able to do that hopefully the next couple of weeks. i will keep my london doesn't pay to be delighted to think smith facebook's recent spree of shutting down accounts because the social justice movement had its page taken down for several hours the movement says this isn't the first time either that facebook is trying to censor its content will occupy london was founded in twenty eleven and it is part of a global movement organizing hundreds of crisis against financial elites and even says its founding values our equality and diversity occupy london has a significant say from the presidents to with around one hundred fifty thousand followers on facebook where some believe that certain palestine post spoilt by

london may have been supplying facebook's action we asked facebook to comment on this story on the social media giant since apologized to occupy london saying it was a one mistake but one of the movement's activist george bush isn't it's. just you know. sort of a blip a mistake out of the blue and probably wouldn't mean very much at all but the problem is this is part of a massive rear guard action i think by the establishment or anyone can go online and see the evidence this themselves chris hedges is a pulitzer prize winning journalist it's been one of those exposing most of the details of this but effectively what's happening in the name of dealing with fake news many progressive websites that have been a major part of you know bernie sanders jeremy corbyn etc. they've they found the traffic going down. websites like alter net truthdig that you know mainstream progressive websites are seeing that traffic go down by seventy percent literally and these algorithms devised in private nobody can inspect and have

a huge impact on what information the world gets to see about what's going on and that's a hugely significant i see going forward the relevant thing today in terms of discussion is still a very powerful force online and has millions of people engaging with its posts and so it's very important that they and others like them are not in the name of fake news effectively removed from most people's internet searches and i think this is a huge as you're going forward bearing in mind that google and facebook are very very close to the american establishment you know the washington post is owned by jeff bezos who was and am is an answer but not surprisingly he's very keen on using the washington post to make sure that the internet allows his articles to come up at the top of such as a no on. the washing out international that's how things are looking so far today will be back again at the top of the.

america was never great was founded on the rape in a murder. nothing changed so we said all response to these situations that we're dealing with. people get shot every day she is just people kill each other blood for killing children. so it was just

no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with life is a reason i have to ride like this is the reason. crazy conspiracy theories that they're all worthless there are all money the boss forgot about the back of the bus just run them over with the fuss because we want rush limbaugh wonder bread and fake news to you die that's america. and i'm finally and i'm old enough that it can going to hurt now how does it play

at the time people point out. on anything he would do would it mean anything to the point in time that i had any. plus is that going to be my city people are. going to i think if i don't find my little bit going to wonder if i'm not i don't know what's going to sound if that i don't have money going to know about my i'm going to wait for tomorrow i'm going to get money. this is one. of. the see. no problem.

times when you're watching a special edition of going on the ground award winning journalist and filmmaker john pilger will now be in a new series starting in september but this is one of his most recent interviews with us in it he went beyond the headlines on serious falls very yemen and north korea. ok she didn't know it is a may day today and. protests in france have turned fine and false information to use tear gas and water cannons and arrested more than two hundred times to. corruption this seemingly they see this in a truck stop made a protest in support of workers like turned violent in cities around the world.

i. mean. as the tear gas settles and rain washes blood from the streets of europe after this week's global mayday uprising i'm afshin rattansi and this is going underground special with me for the whole program is that journalist and filmmaker john pilger let's start because straight to austerity before. when we go to foreign policy even in australia a new another first world country the levels will stare as he beamed to the since the twenty eight crash a stir it is applied globally so the same policy is of extreme tax cuts the trump as opposed to go in the united states that we've that we've had in this country for for a very long time it's called neo liberalism they apply so you have what is called an underclass people working for. temporary visas for low

wages this is become the pattern in all rich countries it's the kind of. darwinian economics that those who are two thirds of society those who've who've got it through really will those in the middle who aspire to do well are usually in debt and those in the bottom up discard it and yet of course while as you say these two thirds have been suffering since twenty eight or even before then there is money for wars what was your reaction when you first heard of the anglo american french missile attacks on syria it's built on a series of i would call them lies fabrications. the calculus attack on duma tourism a clearly said this is why britain has to go in and fight and think that it makes

the regime they says is to be believed frankly and she's yet to convince us that she has a right to be believed because. almost everything to do with foreign policy has shown to in the end if you take the the the souls pre attack that is on rattling so far east for example the o.p.c. w. report on this which was not reported include in the bar a tree report from its major of a power tree in switzerland which said. this this was no no of agent this wasn't no if it was something entirely different showing about the wheelchair attack we're told are you sure so it's this old grey attack but they are connected because it leads then we leads then to the attack on syria. the there is overall a campaign against russia this is a very long campaign it's been going on since the russian revolution but it's

intensified in terms of its propaganda and the way i'd never known i've never known journalism to be so distorted in order to sort of this propaganda be the attack on on on dubai was based on when i quoted the law i when you look at the available evidence the real evidence the evidence that barely sees the light of day. then there's no justification for it whatsoever. there's no real evidence of a chemical attack so what we're seeing is is the most intense. campaign of propaganda at least since the iraq the buildup to the iraq war in two

thousand and three which comes from a great tradition that comes from nine hundred forty five the cover story for dropping two atomic bombs later discredited right through to the beginning of the vietnam war the gulf of tonkin so we had years of misery and devastation in vietnam built on a lie when the be going to understand this when we're going to stand understand there's been a story called patton and we see that played out now almost through the propaganda that's presented as news i think will get you that many mainstream media journalists have short term memories perhaps but they are handed as they have always been handed press releases from government they routinely say russia has obviously rules invaded in area of europe and now they're being told we have proof that they have launched a chemical attack on english soil the first time since world war two and and the

journalists say all governments cannot possibly be lying about such a serious event i've been a journalist for a long time i've covered many wars i've covered the first cold war i've covered it from the soviet union i've covered it from the united states i've worked all over the world i'm a reporter. i would say there is a pseudo journalism now the kind of journalism you describe i wouldn't describe as journalism to simply write down and swallow what governments tell you is the very end to thesaurus of what real journalism is fortunately we still have it in the grate on. the mavericks like robert fisk who's single report from duma showed almost without doubt the whole hickman's so far he interviewed

a doctor who'd worked at this particular facility there was no evidence the doctor made a mockery of macros and maize and claimed. they have seymour hersh now who can't pump be published in his own country has to be published in germany probably the greatest investigative reporter in the world hersh last year may his own reporting his own investigation made mockery of these so-called. chemical attacks. i've never known a time when so cold as you describe it mainstream surely. a satirical to. mainstream journalism has been so integrated into a propaganda. and that that propaganda campaign

at the moment pointed right against russia suggests to me that it's the beginning of a kind of not the macho russia. but the surrounding of russia with bases with american bases with nato missiles the provocations day off today. suggests this in syria where basically the russians and the syria some succeeded by blocking the the the rebels. most of whom the hottest and the extreme islamicist supported by the united states supported by britain are still present to as a credible opposition within syria but the whole point of all this is to take syria from the russians since the nine hundred fifty s. if you read the documents you go back and read the declassified m i six dispatches

from syria they've been trying to do those things the nineteen fifties syria hasn't been controlled in the same way that iran hasn't been controlled this is i hope this is not the last stage i don't think it is because in syria it appears there's a major defeat and what way of seeing is a reaction to that but of course you mentioned some world renowned journalists have you been surprised about how they have been taken as apologists for putin and fascinated by presenting the opposite there it is oh of course not. a big cold everything throughout my career that's a badge of honor. you're a good reporter only if at some point. authority established forces about

whom about whose nefarious activities and invasions you're writing label you a dupe but used to be a favor or an apologist. robert fisk knows this very well that's happened with every great story he's reported i say great story because he's reporting this pain of the highest order since i've known him as would see more. as with with people like gareth porter great investigative reporter who you'll never see he's an american you'll never see it is so cold maidens for you use maybe writes all of it but read his material appeal to ron it's based on fact you mentioned iran how serious is this narrative not going to twist away but maybe while still remaining on syria but going to focus on some kind of imminent war on

iran especially as we know john bolton is no national security advisor go chill go is it on the whole ball and this this and mike pompei of who's this secretary of state. it's hard to know who amongst them is the most extreme. but iran has been a major target much more so than syria much more so than iraq because iran was one of the pillows of western power american power in the middle east and when most a deck the democratically elected leader of iran was overthrown in in the nineteenth fifties by britain and the united states and the shah was in a store that was when the pillar was reinforced but the pillar collapsed in one nine hundred seventy nine with the revolution in iran and that has never been

forgiven getting or wrong the major ambition of the above and that's why we're coming into a very dangerous period when trump mosse ratify the agreement that a bomb assigned. with iran along with. the e.u. under which iran committed to its self as that frankly always had committed itself to a peaceful nuclear program in return sanctions were dropped and so on we have dangers you know the dangers that a presented to us that is so unnecessary why why are we why we threatening countries like iran which hasn't invaded anyone for about four hundred years the don't threaten us why is. not

criticism like israel allowed to have it seem punitive. why do we why do we believe these why do as you describe why do we journalists write down what governments tell us why don't they question them don't they it's just a few years ago that exactly that all was. terrible mistakes happened in two thousand and two two thousand and three that led to the disaster of the invasion of iraq of iraq what why is this being repeated these are questions that demand to be ounce of that not just by journalists but by the public in democrats particularly in countries that rig still regard themselves as democratic challenger and stop the that wall from john bill job to the break.

me me me me me me me me me it's a very rough furthur and you saw it's rough climates and you have to fight for to be able to live in a flat. it was gunshots on top him and so many friends ok what happened in the morning and i may need not. go with the killing blow back up but. you know i don't want to see it but a body in that surely is ready to participate in the good is both really good mood and. you don't think about this leave the soul good or not you got through it if you play fair and you know i do another patient.

so small seemed wrong all right old old just don't call. me old yet to shape out these days comes to add to it and in again from it because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. that's just a little simple they want to. enter and i wondered last but many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sites the drug use to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities. they are.

what are they all of this to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house. knows. he has to be bad to the comment i said sit. up with him put him most of those. who have to supply you with all of the. welcome back i'm still here with legendary journalist and filmmaker john pilger john did you ever expect to see what looked like did told in korea no i didn't expect it. although it should have expected the koreans them so. if we've been following and we don't follow but we follow the big. but.

imposed so particularly in spades on that country it's a very popular move by the president of south korea it's i would i would have thought as clearly a popular move in north korea the koreans korea was one of the most homogeneous society in the world i mean you can you can find very few countries. it's almost like. fronts relate to one big family the idea of them divided. is absurd they recognize that but what this demonstrates is that a regional solution is is possible not only possible it's probably the only way to all these two worlds so-called flashpoints

and problems with their credit is being given to dull trumps administration of what he's there but if you want to give him the nobel peace prize why not give in to a few of those coming war in germany details that massive military expansion in that area yet it's always you know everyone is celebrating because the share prices of old boeing raytheon locate and others have gone down how can these regional peace deals be done in the face of all of that military industrial complex pile if this deal is being done and i think both koreas have to be very careful of not walking into a trap as well the trap could be that north korea is to solve completely and north korea knows that by having nuclear weapons that's prevented it from being another iraq libya from big attacked

i don't think there's any question about. so while it's desirable look north korea is dissolved of nuclear weapons and and all of korea is de nuclearized it also has to be the america is the two in fact the the formula is rather more important than the latter. how that happens is going to be a very tricky part of the negotiations coming up because korea as far as the united states can is concerned is is really a front line on a number of countries but especially if front line on china it does russia and china borders russia and a child or of course but it has its sad so called anti missile system if you just said to be pointing at the north no one believes that it's pointing at

china so these are very precarious days ahead but i think they quite hopeful days and i'm sure if you still have friends in the national security apparatus of the united states but do you think there are people in there taking a rather dim view very day and i will oppose this as you point out all the arms companies will oppose this although the japanese have said publicly they supported but and no doubt the chep these people support it no question about that but whether the united states stays in korea. literally leaves. is the crucial factor here that surely there really is the end of the korean war surely there are interests and we should remind people who don't because it's seldom mentioned here that it was britain was involved in the killing of twenty percent of the population of korea how far would the united states go

in trying to remain there if peace breaks i don't know but the it for them it may well get out of control this will become so popular if it isn't already in korea that. they my eye might find great difficulty with the local population and even the local political update. south korea you know those is a sort of hybrid it's a it's a vassal state of the united states but it's also bred people like the the the present president and people like kim jong un and all those who who saw i did tone with the north as their prime political purpose not as a servant of the united states perhaps that's a clash that we've yet to see. happen and perhaps it's coming but the

process has started that's that's the important thing and regional processes like this have a high success rate they have a high success rate in in. i remember in uganda when the african states following the the the whole devastation of video made and you guys and that was a regional solution they were left they were left alone. in latin america when countries very rarely have been left alone by the united states. they've had regional groups that have banded together in. economic formations and if you like protected each other maybe that's why they hated to go chavez so much because he promoted that he promoted that regional solution

to a two to a regional so perhaps we're seeing the beginning of something like that of course if you go to the middle east they would be a regional solution. if they wasn't the united states supporting one state and its impunity and its priority in its occupation of politics but if there was goodwill in the united states to make that a regional solution then to be very difficult there there are a many different competing tribal forces but those tribal forces of mostly been. reignited by the the the imperial powers as we saw were in libya and in two thousand and

eleven so again i suppose i'm saying that although it's probably it's a remote at the moment in the middle east but to see glimmers of it in korea is hopeful well if trump has enemies of a korea because he may what the big grand gesture he now has the curious enemy of the d.n.c. that is suing him russia is the us democratic party i think this is serious because i had to recheck it he is suing donald trump russia and julian assange and mickey mouse it's it's it's just of so good. i'm as the ruler inquiry progresses you know as if the goal is a road in that within the road to stop this was save the house intelligence committee ruled out i have found off the months of you looking into

a conspiracy between trump and the russians it was the probably the clinton cables the hillary clinton cables particularly the protests the ones the protests the ones that showed that hillary clinton the absolute embodiment of the democratic of stab a shipment. that her foundation that she knew rather she knew that the the the force of the saudi arabia qatar or backing isis or backing these extreme to harvest movements and he had she she and her foundation benefited from huge donations into into the clinton foundation and she did and went on the secretary of state to so-called

negotiate the biggest alms deal that america's of unknown with those states so that's the that's important information that tells us how power works that's upset them and russia of course fighting isis and al-qaeda in syria but does that mean then that basically julia is in his weekly leaks organization can never be forgiven by that established will never be forgiven we were talking earlier about good journalists and of a forgive them that's why they're good journalists that's part of being a good journalist but such a sound has suffered so much for being for wiki leaks big so good. he being in touch with it yes into a directly at the moment i haven't i've been in touch because he's denied visitors . he can't make phone calls he's got no internet it's the

pressure pressure is on him and every bit of his extraordinary of resilience is now being pulled upon its it's one of those miscarriages of justice that's too mild of. grotesque injustice that that it should manifest right in the hot of london is that to scrapes a songe isn't even allowed to go to a hospital and come back because they won't let him back. he has the right to safe passage out of that embassy he has a justified fear. of the united states extraditing him and putting him in the kind of hell hole that chelsea manning into it. probably throw away the

key with julian assange and he's done that too well and so if these leaks the lake then leak actually i mean we could leaks doesn't know where the leak came from but the leak almost certainly came from within the democratic national committee the same body that is now conducting this ridiculous action against against wiki leaks and the rest you might as well the same thing would be directed against the new york times or the washington post were to publish the pentagon papers and back in those howls in days when they did real journalism if anyone needs the support of democrats. of journalists of those who believe in basic freedoms freedom of speech freedom of knowledge

freedom to not freedom of real journalism it's him. thank you. well that's it for one of your favorite shows from this season will continue to show your favorite episodes and the way back for season one wins if there's a temper deal that comes with us but social media sees it. america was never great was founded on the rape in the murder. nothing changed so we said

all response to these situations that we're dealing with. people get shot every day she is just sad people kill each other blacks are killing children. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down by law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this this can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is a reason i have to ride like this is the reason. why this financial survival guide today was all about money laundering first to visit this confession to three different. oh good this is a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your

something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we know all these banks are complicit in the congress who decide to give mccoll and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did well we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury automobile again for max you know what money laundering is highly. much kaiser of course.

when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it's meaningless in the death penalty just because i think that's the way or think the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no way to present and that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victim's families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. that. thank. god.

but i'm a page in holmes told to germany's angela merkel just outside her and then with the iran nuclear deal and syrian reconstruction on the agenda for this hour we visit one of the cities worst hit by the war in syria and the coach has witnessed reconstruction process after years under attack by islamic states and other militants on the u.s. . plans to spend up to fifteen million dollars on enhanced and soldier's physical performance and also their insurance the pentagon warns though future conflicts will take place unless medically robust carries and rebooting be done activist he's been charged with acting as number of heated russian agents in the west has been transferred to another prison we hear from her lawyer about her health and what to expect in the back.

for the welcome it's good to have you company you're watching international now our top story this hour russian president vladimir putin and german chancellor angela merkel have concluded talks palestinian bilin they were there were several topics up for discussion there including the rebuilding of syria and iran nuclear agreement reporting now from germany his dangle hawking's here in schloss smears a book about an hour's drive from talks have been ongoing between shots of merkel and president putin in the government residence just behind me here now from the outset the german chancellor was realistic about what could be expected as an outcome from these talks saying it's a working visit and nothing too spectacular should be expected nevertheless she did emphasize the importance of having a relationship

a functional dialogue and communication with russia whereas the two leaders came out of the building having signed the guestbook they did have points on which they could agree now the german countryside here behind me is peaceful and. that's far from how you could describe the relationship of the two leaders though they have clashed on numerous occasions with mrs merkel being a fierce critical of putin on issues from human rights to ukraine they did today have points though on which they did agree syria being one of the key ones. both of them agreeing that emphasis on humanitarian assistance and humanitarian help was the key to solving the conflict version of. should cities it's important to do move for the humanitarian situation in syria most importantly bring aid to its people and hope those areas where a few jews can return from a broader sense in the issues are going to use this from my end as this we have to

do humanitarian catastrophe in syria there may be less fighting now but that doesn't mean we have peace and order. the iran nuclear deal which of course the united states recently pulled out of was another point upon which they could agree with mr putin emphasizing the importance of maintaining that international deal sanctioned by the united nations security council when. we will discuss the joint plan to rig the iran nuclear agreement it is extremely important to save this multilateral deal approved by the u.n. security council designed to strengthen regional and global security and nuclear nonproliferation in the way you are supposed to and despite their previous rocky relationship mrs merkel mr putin have been pushed together into a sort of political marriage of convenience through to a rift with the united states both countries have been affected by u.s. tariffs russia has been affected by sanctions mrs merkel has been criticized for being overly reliant on russian gas imports indeed the nords dream to part from

project was also something that was discussed news headlines question what could really come out of these bilateral talks which side could gain watson who would come out on top in negotiations but as the day here draws to a close and the limousines pull up to take this back to their residences mrs merkel will take this as an opportunity to consolidate her position as a european leader capable of negotiating with russia and putin while the russian president will view this as a chance to take steps to bring russia out of its isolation. through those sanctions and find common ground with one of his oldest political colleagues that was dan hawkins reporting well before meeting merkel putin did pay a quick social visit to austria the russian president stopped off to attend the wedding of the country's foreign minister.

very nice to be with the ceremony took place looking yard in austria skittery a state where some slammed the foreign minister for inviting us into the wedding but it seems that the russian president did have a very good time and even found time to dance with the bride and many try to guess to what president had given the happy couple he was in fact to painting an ancient or a press and a traditional russian sound for a family. now with the syrian army restamp wishing re stablish in control across the country yet it's are under way to rebuild a shattered nation in the latest in a series of reports she goes you down off travels to the city of aleppo to see how locals there is slowly picking up the pieces. much of the city of aleppo is still seen ruins reviving it to its former glory is a task of gargantuan proportions and of immense political and economic importance

the citadel of aleppo has become the symbol of the city's resistance. but our lipo is much more than just a maze of antique streets and attractions from history books. the militants have stolen computer units with chips for the machines they destroyed the factory on purpose they wanted to damage syrian industry as a whole and specifically in the street in aleppo reviving this that. would. see one river go over this area

a feat and basically very dysfunctional congress. want to be immense but now that the former industrial hub is slowly getting back on track things are finally looking up for the people of aleppo. two years ago during the war we couldn't even open our shops the shelling snipers were everywhere you couldn't live under such circumstances we cover the roof of the building back then so that we could take cover it was unbearable we took shelter for about half an hour whenever the shelling started we just locked ourselves in here thank god now we can work peacefully day and night we just hang around smile. just like the good old days the under joe a little the atmosphere is really good around here the weather is nice everybody is feeling safe and it's only getting better you can see getting better day by day lanham outlet i was lucky enough not to leave my home the kind this is the district

the rebels couldn't get to at the time there was a blockade once but it was firmly lifted now same god things are better despite all the things we've been through we're no better than one of them when you know it's safe you can return home if your house lies in ruins you can still thinks it the main thing is it's safe now. just a couple of years ago these turned used to protect people in the street from falling shows and debris well now they're sheltering them from the sun historically the city of aleppo has been the economic capital of syria and now with the world gone finally some traders are coming back to the streets. of reporting from aleppo in syria. meanwhile the u.s. state department has said it will redirect american stabilisation funding planned for syria to other foreign policy efforts washington insists this will not affect

his humanitarian assistance program well it does come a saudi arabia pledge is one hundred million dollars to syrian reconstruction projects however the money will only go to the northeast of the country or region under the control of us back to kurdish forces and while some programs are cut others do remain in place because the u.s. says it will stay in syria for some time yet to fight against the last pockets of terrorists. we're remaining in syria the focus is the ensuring defeat of isis we still have not launched the final phase to defeat the physical caliphate this is actually being prepared now and that will come at a time for choosing but it is coming well joshua landis head of middle east studies at the university of oklahoma says that america's interests in syria don't go beyond fighting terrorism the united states does not want assad to become too strong there are hoping to keep leverage in order to try to push iran out of the

country to get a better deal for the kurds and and of course they're also worried about what's going to happen if their profits where there are very complex negotiations and and russia is at the heart of them so there are many competing agendas in washington and as long as president trump is not spending a lot of money there i think he's happy to keep a few thousand troops if that increases america's leverage. meanwhile the u.s. department of defense is planning to spend up to fifteen million dollars in hands in the performance and insurance of soldiers with more his kind of. treated. hollywood science fiction often depicts the soldiers of the future with all the talk of a space force from donald trump fighting robots across the silver screen our

imagination has plenty of places to go. now on the surface a new grant from the pentagon for extramural biomedical research and development doesn't sound so bad the object is to create soldiers who can withstand even the harshest circumstances take a listen develop technologies to maximize the physiological performance of s.o.f. operators including enhanced in durance enhanced senses tolerance to environmental extremes and enhanced overall fitness in order to maintain operational posture ability in high stress scenarios without noticeable augmentation and without hampering personnel mobility additionally the ability to accelerate the effects of sleep through methods requiring less time a vivid picture i know the prototype. of these.

now let's give this a little context this won't be the first time that the u.s. military has engaged in this kind of research. now at the time these grotesque experiments using american g.i.'s and civilians

essentially as the lab rats at the time they were taking place the public knew nothing about it was all classified now the public documents indicate that these new experiments will not involve human beings only human simulators however anyone who is familiar with the not so well publicized but very well documented history of u.s. military research they'll certainly raise an eyebrow. r.t. new york. russia is at it again apparently that's the claim by the us magazine the atlantic because it does say that the kremlin has set its sights firmly on meddling in the upcoming midterm elections to weaken america the article goes on to explain moscow's alleged three step plan to break american democracy so let's have a look firstly unleash russian hackers secondly by corrupt us politicians and really support those who think favorably of putin but it's not just the russian state there's come under suspicion to the atlantic also claims this very channel

helps undermine democracy by inviting on guests who dare to question mainstream narratives the magazine name is brandon straka is an example he's the founder of a movement encouraging democrats to walk away from their party. the atlantic does fail to point out he talks to the media. well i i myself was a lifelong liberal democratic voter i would say kind of a democrat by default because i'm a gay man and i think that the expectation for a lot of minority groups is that we are supposed to vote democrat and that we are supposed to be liberals friend straight has spent years as a liberal he now says he's concerned by what the left has become well before the election i was already starting to feel uncomfortable with where we were headed in terms of identity politics and p.c. culture. while media commentator line and explained why he thinks that such anti russian articles get written nobody ever calls these people to task

they're paid for by volume or how many likes to get how many clicks hey that was a great article factually incorrect. factually a baseless and also the mentality just feeding frenzy of this this monster dish ma this monster that you must feed constantly with this no russia no nato no bad guy no bogeyman so there's many reasons why the book even the straw man this factor the evil image of russia must be maintained. they're watching our table going to take a quick right now will be back soon to. chose

seemed wrong. but old rules just don't go all. the way to get to shake out just because the ticket and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

hello again now maria buton a gun activist he's been charged with acting as a number a just and russian agent in the u.s. has been transferred to another prison without her lawyers knowledge russian diplomats had compared putin his treatment in custody and also the media hysteria around her case to the witch trials of the seventeenth century meanwhile the twenty nine year old has launched a crowdfunding campaign to pay for her legal defense on thursday russian diplomats did visit putin in prison and said that she's been subjected to cruel treatment they claim she faces inhumane inspections throughout each night and is also strip searched after any visitor there is also being deprived of proper medical attention to because it's claimed she was suffering from swelling on her leg but was only given painkillers furthermore she is not allowed to receive letters written in

russian over fears they could contain coded messages the russian embassy stress she's still a suspect and not a convict bruce and his lawyer updated us on her condition. i was unaware that she was transferred until last night at around midnight i received a collect call from her at home and the phone was disconnected before we could get through but i knew it was from alexandria jail so i drove down and tried to get in last night and could not but is able to get in this morning and visit her so she is in alexandria detention facility at least for now for this weekend it's a smaller facility than the d.c. jail as respected facility but it's hard to know why the move was made where there was made for medical or other reasons or in response to complaints about the conditions in d.c. she does have arthritis in one of her legs kind of a history of problems with that leg so she sought treatment for that and so far has just received tylenol and nothing else and i think she has also been a little bit frustrated by policy when people are in protective custody they do bad

checks every fifteen minutes at night to check on detainee safety and i think sometimes depending on who the guard is you know the lights are turned on every time there's a check and so it's very hard to get proper sleep when you're being woken up every fifteen minutes she's segregated from the general population of the prison facility you know no contact really with outside people besides her lawyers and occasional phone calls and when you're being held. in some eyes elation like that it's difficult because every everything i think she wanted to do was kind of a one off request there isn't a very set schedule and so it was very difficult to make sure she was getting a proper exercise and. trips to the library and things like that because everything she did she had to do by yourself or anyone would have an easy time in prison but in this is an accomplished student you know someone who i don't think ever envisioned spending a day in jail or a life to be in you know it's a pretty tough facility. you know i had russian agent was arrested over

a month ago she was refused by a laugh to plead not guilty you fool and i think i and she's always had the keys to the offering sex in the attempt to get a job at an unnamed special interest group if convicted he could face up to fifteen years in prison now a date yet has been set for her trial although her lawyer remains optimistic she's in very good shape she's helping actively with us to prepare the defense she's confident in her innocence there's no allegation of espionage there's no allegation of classified information style geishas she was paying anyone off there's no allegation she was recruiting spies none of the things you would typically see in an espionage case the allegations are fairly vanilla that she attended meetings of various groups that were public that she had dinners with various people and she took a lot of selfies as i think a lot of people are twenty's do with with people she met and posted them on facebook so this is not the kind of a typical this is no comparison to what the allegations were against for example at

a chapman or others where there was actual whether they were true or not their actual allegations about the use of sophisticated equipment and payoffs and spy ring and things like that there's none of that here we at some point maybe try to get her released pretrial again we're just looking through documents trying to find the proper evidence to do that i think we may be able to do that hopefully the next couple of weeks. i will keep my london the pace to be the latest victim of facebook's recent spree of shutting down accounts the social justice movement at its page taken down for several hours on the move and says this isn't the first time eva that facebook is try to censor its content i'll keep my london is founded in twenty eleven it is part of a global new england tool going izing hundreds of protests against financial elites and in the says expanding values equality and diversity and it has a significant social media presence to with around one hundred fifty thousand followers on. facebook some beliefs the palestine post by orchy by london may be to

blame for facebook's action we did ask facebook to comment on the social media giant since apologized to occupy london saying it was all a mistake but one of the movement's activist george barda isn't convince. we just. sort of a blip a mistake of the blue it probably wouldn't mean very much at all but the problem is this is part of a massive rear guard action i think by the establishment you know anyone can go online and see the evidence this themselves chris hedges is a pulitzer prize winning journalist it's been one of those exposing most of the details of this but effectively what's happening in the name of dealing with fake news and many progressive websites that have been a major part of you know bernie sanders jeremy corbyn etc. they use they found the traffic going down. websites like alter net truthdig you know mainstream progressive websites have seen the traffic go down by seventy percent literally and

these are algorithms devised in private nobody can inspect and have a huge impact on what information the world gets to see about what's going on and that's a hugely significant issue going forward the relevant thing today in terms of discussion is still a very powerful force online and has millions of people engaging with its posts and so it's very important that they are another's lightnin are not in the name of fake news effectively removed from most people's internet searches and i think this is a huge issue going forward bear in mind that google and facebook are very very close to the american establishment you know the washington post is owned by jeff bezos he was and am is an answer but not surprisingly he's very keen on using the washington post to make sure that the internet allows his articles to come up at the top of searches and no arms. graffiti has been appearing in the spanish city of barcelona encouraging holiday makers to jump off their hotel balconies. some of it suggests that the potentially deadly practice known as balcony is

actually fun one of the messages mockingly claims it improves the quality of life for locals balcony can refer either to jumping into a pool from a balcony or climbing from one balcony to another the risky activity is growing in popularity with tourists and some hotels have banned it and introduced fines. literately oh and . about an interfaith see that sprung up in barcelona sparked online anger with people pointing out that this year alone six people have died performing the stunt most of them were from britain or ireland u.k.

foreign office is born see you against engaging in the practice and in the majority of accidents victims have been drunk and lost their balance we've got reaction from tourists in barcelona. thanks for the a c. will we need to postpone our amount of night ok then do so some like many messages saying violence like you against terrorists i guess the same of them sound like they want to have the city for over and they know it's important to maintain jobs to make some money out of the worst word on my fingers and get some kind of tax why can't i have this many tourists i'm gone that it's not comfortable for and i have to have because i'm from mrs rowles so i think last night such a scene that's just so old and is so much fun and it should be accepting its current foreign policy shouldn't really aggressive things to escape this it's the main source so many things but nothing and i think it's just. a nice

image. if i would live here and i see guys ruining my city. hall style sometimes as though like watching us international thanks me with this is saving all programs continue after bright. lights to watch. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants.

crossing the hardest that's not the little simple going to become most incredible in the us to some just about but many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sides of the drifter used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities how to best person asked bank. policy to morrow i am at my son i get i'm in a lot of class and i want that. to happen and they have to watch or they'll choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the one time move the political rivals because both of you who feel you can beat out the deal to go with a since it's going to have many couples won't. deal with triplets concluded bills and spawn both both of both of you up of up to the hope of the. earth building never great was founded on the rates in the murder. nothing changed

so we said in. response to these situations that we're dealing with. people just sad every day he is just sad people kill each other blood for killing children. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i have to ride like this is the reason. b.k.'s not sure cameron. will see once the show and some leave for the.

future to video this summer with the beast with. the down on string i don't roughly don't t.v. . thank. you i'm just curious eric cantona is the comedy show where americans in america covering american news are first some reason called foreign agents imagine imagine this headline armed gunmen at airports secretly follow around peaceful americans who are not accused or suspected of any crime and who aren't listed on any terrorism watch list i think the proper response if you were to read that had line to seeing that revelation would be so why bother god don't be germany shocked. what instead that headline could have been in our american newspapers this week

a new t.s.a. program has been revealed called quiet skies it's existed since twenty ten and in it or federal air marshals follow ordinary american citizens collecting information about their movements and behavior where there's no like where's the line in the sand when you go oh oh we're inside one of those dystopian military state horror shows. because for me personally like when i go to a quiet place and i really think about it and i really just take a minute and think about it that line is is when armed gunmen are following around peaceful unaware americans who haven't been accused of crimes like that's a lot like you go. right over that and you and you step over and over stairs topia military stay oh oh oh oh no. three going here why is guys

through simply targets travelers who are not under investigation by any agency and are not on the terrorist screening database. this means you are right this is you i'm talking to you guy at home sitting there going well they owe me they don't mean maybe i haven't done anything wrong here i'm trying to tell you that you like wipe the idea of wrong out of your head do you have any idea how many people who haven't done anything wrong or in our jails our prisons our court systems millions millions here is some of these suspicious activities that the documents show air marshals are looking for when observing someone subject was abnormally aware of their surroundings observing the boarding gate area from afar excessive fidgeting excessive perspiration rapid eye blinking rubbing ringing of

a hand strong body odor sweaty poems using about the room a lot. using the bathroom have you seen airplane food all right we're. where all are using the bathroom walk even in the airport even in the airport if you want to score like a piece of fresh broccoli you have to like meet a guy in a dark corner but between a brookstone and a mcdonnell's or he opens up his code for a veil like a vegetable of some so origin. then once you agree on a price he puts it inside a toblerone box just so the world just the world doesn't find out that there's a black market leafy greens loose in the airport. to tobler over to the choc'late no one once in less it's duty for a year. and then it's worth its weight in gold. and excess in

fidgeting they literally sell devices at airport kiosks just for fishing. i could therefore. even be airborne. no this is utter horse in late may an air marshal complained to colleagues about having just surveilled a working southwest airlines flight attendant as part of a quiet skies mission subject wearing too much make up she's clearly hiding something all right so subject passing out cans of liquid to passengers could be toxic fluid subject stayed on flights for multiple trips from back and forth from chicago to new york and i thought suspicious i don't know what is subject seems too concerned about whether people's feet are in feet or in the aisles so you know one could say it borders on obsessive compulsive tendency to take her down to go down. these with hundreds who trained how to shoot things in a plane like this this is

a real image of the trip it's completely unrealistic this is the fraud that the mannequin would be coralie's grave guy you are i got who are feet by step down. and secondly you look at that leg room are you kidding ok. well you know this. is that seat reserved for the queen of england mother because. i mean it's you can't even get your gun out when your knees against your chats and off. anyway these douchebags also find it suspicious when his target has a cold penetrating stay there or wide open staring on this why the open staring eyes that's interesting because a few weeks ago and i'm not making this up i happen to be on a flight with congressman adam schiff. now if that guy's not

a terrorist i don't know what one is. but don't worry don't worry though nancy pelosi has her eye on it all right she is monitoring the situation. something else these gunmen are looking for is a telltale sign that you're getting ready to blow up fellow human beings exaggerated emotions and exaggerated emotions well i'm sure our mass media hacks and con artists have something to say about that babies and other young children. we are. living in the one nine hundred thirty s. all over again. folks in a very dramatic development. for words. i

did a lot of do the lie. gets a lot of cooks chopped up to go viral. but i will say this c.n.n. and the other networks did cover this story about quiet skies they did not fail to reveal this insane invasion of privacy during the quick march toward a totalitarian state take a look there's absolutely no intention to surveil ordinary americans instead its purpose is to ensure passengers and flight crew are protected during air travel no different than putting a police officer on a beat where intelligence and information presents a need for increased watch and deterrent no different than putting a police officer on a beat yeah yeah it is cobb's don't follow random people around who aren't suspected of a crime and see if they're blinking all right. i'm not saying no cop has

ever beaten someone for going into my store for using the bathroom too much but they're not tasked with taking notes about bathroom habits d.s.t.v. difference i mean it's tough to overstate this are two men who literally follow us around to make sure we behave ourselves. it sure is a free country and this is at the airport i'm free to use the bathroom no more than once. i've read to have body odor if it's the appropriate amount i'm free to be aware of my surroundings to a certain extent. i believe it was founding father patrick henry who said give me liberty within reason and. the words of washington university law professor john turley had this to say there

may be indeed constitutional issues here depending on how restrictive or intrusive these measures are. intrusive all right we we've got not so bright guys with guns ready to fire at a moment's notice because i happen to look a bit fidgety yeah maybe i am fidgety all right because maybe i'm going on two hours of sleep and maybe i've already had three cocktails and maybe i was at airport security all right. so. the guy got into the exchanges ames with me i mean i don't care if the mother is an intrusive i don't want him following me well despite all my anger about this you may feel differently once you hear how impressively effective the program has been requested by congress to twenty seventeen report noted that the agency which spent eight hundred million dollars in twenty fifteen has no information on its effectiveness in deterring attacks wow. who could argue with those gotta

results. oh only eight hundred million dollars for a veritable telling of no information. could all agree that's a bargain. according to the government's own department of justice standards there is no cause to be can. ducting these secret missions well at the conclusion of that c.n.n. segment that i just heard after bring it on the former inspector general for the department of transportation who seemed downright excited about the whole thing i'm sure the c.n.n. anchor will point out this is a horrific abuse of law enforcement it makes a mockery of our freedom and it puts us firmly in the category of military surveillance state take us home so you know i will say that any time anyone talks about rapid eye rapid blinking arrival and i feel if i find myself blinking quite a bit more it's just lovely in response mary thank you so much i appreciate it if.

i'm having a problem loving response right now blinking segments like this which is pretty that's i mean pretty similar to all the mainstream coverage of this new revelation this week or more insidious than they seem it appears as if they're asking the right questions is this an invasion of privacy why weren't we told about this sooner but by acting like this is just a little thing to be discussed it makes average americans believe it's no big deal it's the same as discussing if you want on your pizza all right one person got kind of like the other person not really. this is the mushrooms all right. these are the telltale signs of a fascist surveillance state and the only thing. the only thing i hate more than a march on pizza ok to sum it up as edward snowden says that these programs were

never about terrorism they're about economic spying social control and diplomatic manipulation they're about power how do you want to be. welcomed welcome by me candelas take the news from behind lead start with good news palestinian protest i head to mimi was finally released after eight months. she was locked up at the age of sixteen for the crime of having a viral video basically she slapped an israeli soldier after the i.d.f.

had shot her fifteen year old cousin in the head nearly killing him and apparently the israeli military were jealous of how many heart of logies her video was getting so they arrested her and her mother always good to throw the mother in you know just just in case so i'm pretty sure the israeli military were sitting there at their laptops. i don't get it says she didn't even have that many followers i spend all day on the twitter and the book face and i'm interacting and. i do a mix of politics with poppy dog videos to. the algorithm know i am good guy i'm good guys we'll soon see is beating i saw rock star. i don't know why that accent ended up being my grandfather of a. three year prison and here's some more hopeful news a massive nationwide prison strike is set to start aug twenty first the prisoners will be demanding more through main living conditions access to rehabilitation

sentencing reform and the end of modern day slavery. i can't come on prisoners always with a me me me me me you want to not pay a dollar a minute for a phone call to your loved ones and you want to not be a modern day slave. seriously though we have millions of people locked up in this country we have the most prisoners per capital and the most prisoners total meaning by the dictionary definition undeniably you can be right wing it doesn't matter this is an undeniable fact the united states of america is the largest prison state to have ever existed in the history of the planet ever and the best thing we've found to do with these people is force them to so made in america labels on victoria's secret clothing that was made in guatemala really. seriously that's the kind of thing they're forced to do and now there's going to be

a massive strike to fight back against this the actions will take the form of the worst strikes sit ins boycotts and hunger strikes yeah which which might. although they could that could make it difficult for us to continue our endless wars since the several prison industry produces a hundred percent of all military helmets and many of the war supplies and other equipment in california inmates are also serving as firefighters but who cares if they go on a work strike wildfires are only all over california. and for those of you who don't live in california israel i guess. sucks for all those surfers opponents to. wait until all the other condos go up in flames all right not so funny anymore is it now a confluence of prison industrial complex inmate abuse with climate change is

created a perfect storm that will ruin your biannual holy moley guacamole night. who's laughing now still to learn more about this at incarcerated workers dot org we have to go to a quick break but i have live comedy shows coming up in denver and boulder colorado you get tickets and so appreciative of that poor guy because also you can see right here it was c.d.c. . yes it was all right. thank you. it's a very rough terrain you so it's rough climates and you have to win fights to be able to them if. it was a gunshot on top of them and so many friends they would have been going there may

well have been you know not. going well back up. you know i don't want to see a better body in this world and is ready to participate in the good is owed to me aboard with me that. you don't think about this if this all goes on you've got three it's like a and you know i do and other patients. say . we have no idea what safety is doing on the vacation but she will be back on air in september. joining me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to

guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then . hey welcome back welcome back we turn now to africa the cradle of civilization and if you look at how america treats africa it's pretty clear that we have eight cradles we can stand of god for second things and we see a cradle we need to exploit its natural resources immediately our country's most recent assault on africa involves perpetuating and engaging in secret wars here now to explain is our senior dude with secrets john of. a was a. that was yeah what's the latest from the u.s.

covert war front in africa well which country talking about somalia kenya where uganda chad morocco tunisia. nigeria senegal tanzania because we've got an active military presence and all of. the others. i'm not really sure why you're getting about hands do u.s. military adventurism on yet another continent leave the obvious that on in its. hen's. military spokespeople have made it clear that the american special ops role in africa is limited to advising and assisting and who among us couldn't use some good advice in this crazy crazy war her old. maybe if i got some i never would have invested all my money into the failed product launch of extras

slutty olive oil. were out beds of all apparently everybody prefers their olive oil. well i know my oil sleeping with other people is gross but it's on the notion that the u.s. military is just advising in africa. but wow why do you say that because for more than five years green berets navy seals and other commandos have been operating under an obscure authorization that allows them to both plan and control missions an average joe or because quote it's less we're helping you and more you are doing our bidding said one active duty green beret officer with a recent experience in west africa as he described the program is carried out under a legal authority known as section one twenty seven eight. yes. yes to all of the things you just what the hell is section one thousand and seventy

. perfectly for nine super her. authorization their funds classified programs were averaging government alone how units of their militaries for american special ops teams they use as surrogates to hunt and kill our enemy combatants for us not. you now the saying goes better to have your hand of the puppet than for the puppet to come to life in the middle of the night while you're sleeping and strangle you know that. what looks saying is that well i i don't know or a squirrel whispered into my ear underneath the bridge one time. these cover wars are an abomination is anybody being held accountable what is congress doing well maybe a foreign policy expert senator lindsey graham again. shed some light on the

situation i didn't know there was a thousand troops in niger i didn't know there was a thousand troops in niger. perhaps is not the most. look this military for the average guy is a stance of late a fight extremist groups but it's really another clear instance of us empire perpetuating endless war for profit for money we at least deserve to know about these things. i mean. agree oh that's that's probably why ninety's all rock band weezer recently covered the song africa by toyo i mean everybody thought it was a weird choice for them to do that but they're actually trying to let the world know up. the u.s. military is a shill that ever go is there nothing goes aging good thursday and. i

think you might have run a little much and that's only going to. work the race is going to claim everything is their own intellectual property and can't be touched by anyone else even when it could cost the lives of millions for more on this raging controversy we go to redacted correspondent naomi. d.n.a. testing it's not just for finding out which races you can make jokes about with impunity anymore it has a medical application to it's extremely useful in identifying and preventing reading terry illnesses. but i'm obviously more interested in the jokes. around. fifty percent caucasian twenty

percent some kind of brown and ten percent home this. could have looked in the mirror that d.n.a. testing is a lucrative enterprise where money get in the way of medical benefits the largest genetics company in the u.s. and the biggest shareholder in your spit myriad genetics has been keeping d.n.a. data secret. weapon of sino tibet and blood to tell this show i mean it says here i have zero point zero zero six percent. you know how sign on to benzo is crazy about that yac mail app for almost twenty five years myriad genetics had a patent on the b.r.c.a. one and two genes which cause a variant of breast cancers some would say planting these genes is controversial but according to myriad genetics founder mark skolnick. there is no. very very easy to understand it takes time scientists who have taken some time such

as their lifetimes to study cancer causing genes have called the patenting of these genes the wrong counterproductive non-sensical after myriad obtained the gene patent in one nine hundred ninety eight it attempted to eliminate b.r.c.a. testing at competing laboratories by sending them cease and desist letters dear do good dear we have reason to suspect you are trying to find a cure for cancer conley return to medical school and obtain a dental degree or we will pursue all available legal and or criminal remedies that may be a political nerd in twenty nine supreme court justices meaning all of them ruled that it was illegal to pass and something in nature breaking marion's monopoly on testing and researching the b.r.c.a. genes well i guess that means i'm going to have to throw out my i pad and for my

family specific brand of depression and fury triggered by my neighbor's music my family has passed down this miserable gene from the times of being annoyed by baroque music of the times of one direction. turn it down. why do i have to be next to the scattering. but. after that supreme court decision the other research facilities started to offer testing for the cancer causing gene for much cheaper than the four thousand dollars myriad charge but myriads database the single best source of data about the connection between b.r.c.a. mutations and breast cancer remains a trade secret to this. de so now if you want to cure cancer you should be a happy or deliver your spit samples to this web address by midnight twenty seven

eight twenty eighteen or all your data will be wiped also seven thousand records this information should be made public because it could present something and save lives like it did for angelina jolie who could afford the four thousand dollars charge and she also got a double mastectomy and remove her ovaries after receiving her marriage results now i is assigned to ben i am a terrible driver but. it was. a cease and desist letter. from the sino to ben anti-defamation league. reporting from washington this is naomi cara bonny redacting tonight. here are your headlines from the future in two weeks she'll read the board air

marshal swears that if someone doesn't try to kill everyone soon is going to blow up this goddamn plane. and coming up in september you're a soldier pretty sure we'll be able to bring democracy and freedom to djibouti or somalia or wherever and yes. that's our show but to get more followers average actors a night on twitter you can also check out my new podcast common sense or was true and bonafide this time. crazy conspiracy theories they're they're all worthless they're not all money the boss forgot about the back of the buses run the love of the fuss because we want rush limbaugh wonder bread and fake news to you die that's america.

america was never great was founded on the rapes in the murder. nothing changed so we said oh response to these situations that we do in the ways. people get sad every day she is just sad people kill each other blacks were killing children. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this this can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i have to ride like this is

a reason. to join me every foes on the alex salmond's show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics school business i'm show business i'll see you then.

thank you it was. it was. the headlines this hour blossom a putin holds talks with germany's angela merkel just outside bended with the iran nuclear tale of syrian reconstruction major and will say we visit one of the city's west heads by the war in syria to witness the reconstruction process often years and didn't attack by islamic states the militant. the u.s. plans to spend up to fifteen million dollars on in home some soldiers physical performance i'm damn sure it's the pentagon one skew future conflicts will require troops with the highest tolerance for extreme conditions. and summary appeared to know again activist who's been charged with acting as an unregistered russian agent in the us has been transferred to another prison we have from her lawyer to help on what to expect in the case.

for moscow you're watching international with me and she's happy good to have you with us russian president vladimir putin and german chancellor angela merkel have concluded talks a mess a big palace near bed then there was several topics up for discussion including the rebuilding of syria and the iran nuclear agreement reporting from germany has done you hawkins. here in schloss maze a book about the hour's drive from talks have been ongoing between shots on marco and president putin in the government residence just behind me here now from the outset the german chancellor was realistic about what could be expected as an outcome from these talks saying it's a working visit and nothing to spectacular should be expected nevertheless she did

emphasize the importance of having a relationship a functional dialogue and communication with russia as the two leaders came out of the building having signed the guestbook they did have points on which they could agree that the german countryside here behind me is peaceful and delic that's far from how you could describe the relationship of the two leaders though they have clashed on numerous occasions with mrs merkel being a fierce critic of putin on issues from human rights to ukraine they did today have points though on which they did agree syria being one of the key ones both of them agreeing that emphasis on humanitarian assistance and humanitarian help was the key to solving the conflict never she would certainly should cities it's important to do move for the humanitarian situation in syria most importantly bring aid to its people and loses areas where a few jews can return from abroad and the creationists are going to use this for my

end this is we have to do humanitarian catastrophe in syria there may be less fighting now but that doesn't mean we have peace and order. the iran nuclear deal which of course the united states recently pulled out of was another point upon which they could agree with mr putin emphasizing the importance of maintaining that international deal sanctioned by the united nations security council. and. we will discuss the joint plan to rig the iran nuclear agreement it is extremely important to save this multilateral deal. proved the u.n. security council designed to strengthen global security and nuclear nonproliferation to get in the way you're supposed to and despite their previous rocky relationship mrs merkel and mr putin have been pushed together into a sort of political marriage of convenience through to a rift with the united states both countries have been affected by u.s. tariffs russia has been affected by sanctions mrs merkel has been criticized for

being overly reliant on russian gas imports indeed the nords dream to part from project was also something that was discussed news headlines questioned what could really come out of these bilateral talks which side could gain watson who would come out on top in negotiations but as the day here draws to a close and the limousines pull up to take this back to the residence sees mrs merkel will take this as an opportunity to consolidate her position as a european leader capable of negotiating with russia and putin while the russian president will view this as a chance to take steps to bring russia out of its isolation through those sanctions and find common ground with one of his oldest political colleagues. but before meeting mccoll putin paid a quick social visit to austria the russian president stopped off to attend the wedding of the country's foreign minister.

room. while the ceremony took place at a venue i was in austria steria stays some slams the foreign minister for inviting putin to the west but it seems the russian president had a great time even dancing with the prize and many try to guess what president he'd give to the happy couple it wasn't fact an oil painting an ancient oil press and the traditional question some of us. with the syrian army reestablishing control across the country efforts underway to rebuild a shattered nation in the latest of a series of reports see gore standoff travels to the city of that pay to see how locals slowly picking up the pieces. much of the city of aleppo is still in ruins reviving it to its former glory is a task of gargantuan proportions and of immense political and economic importance

the citadel of aleppo has become the symbol of the city's resistance. but our lipo is much more than just a maze of antique streets and attractions from history books. the militants have stolen computer units with chips for the machines they destroyed the factory on purpose they wanted to damage syrian industry as a home and specifically in the street in aleppo reviving this that. would. see one forever to control of this area they can feed and basically very

dysfunctional hunker. down want to be immense but now that the former industrial hub is slowly getting back on track things are finally looking up for the people of aleppo. two years ago during the war we couldn't even open our shops the shelling snipers were everywhere you couldn't live under such circumstances we cover the roof of the building back then so that we could take cover it was unbearable we took shelter for about half an hour whenever the shelling started we just locked ourselves in here thank god now we can work peacefully day and night we just hang around small. just like the good old days under joe a little the atmosphere is really good around here the weather is nice everybody is feeling safe and it's only getting better you can see getting better day by day lanham outlet i was lucky enough not to leave my home the wind this is the district

the rebels couldn't get through at the time there was a blockade once but it was firmly lifted now saying god things about or despite all the things we've been through we're no better than woman when you know it's safe you can return home if your house lies in ruins you can still fix it the main thing is it's safe now. just a couple of years ago these weren't used to protect people in the street from falling shows and debris well now they're sheltering them from the sun historically the city of aleppo has been the economic capital of syria and now with the world gone finally some traders are coming back to streets. of reporting from aleppo in syria. meanwhile the u.s. state department says it will retire rect american stabilization plan the funding plan for syria to other foreign policy it fits washington insists though this will not affect its humanitarian assistance program it comes to saudi arabia pledges one

hundred million dollars dollars to syrian reconstruction projects however the money will only go to the northeast of the country a region under the control of u.s. backed kurdish forces and while some programs are cuts others remain in place with the u.s. saying it will stay in syria for some time yet to fight against the last pockets of terrorists. we're remaining in syria the focus is the ensuring defeat of isis we still have not launched the final phase two defeats the physical kind of fight this is actually being prepared now and that will come at a time via choosing but it is coming joshua landis head of middle east studies at the university of oklahoma says america's interest in syria beyond fighting terrorism the united states does not want assad to become too strong there are hoping to keep leverage in order to try to push iran out of the country to get

a better deal for the kurds and and of course they're also worried about what's going to happen if they're province where there are very complex negotiations and and russia is at the heart of them so there are many competing agendas in washington and as long as president trump is not spending a lot of money there i think he's happy to keep a few thousand troops if that increases america's leverage. the u.s. department of defense if punning to spend up to fifteen million dollars this entire thing the performance of it of the performance and insurance of its soldiers but says caleb maupin explains history shows that as a reason to be wary. treated . hollywood science fiction often depicts the soldiers of the future with all the talk of

a space force from donald trump and fighting robots across the silver screen our imagination has plenty of places to go. now on the surface a new grant from the pentagon for extramural biomedical research and development doesn't sound so bad the object is to create soldiers who can withstand even the harshest circumstances take a listen develop technologies to maximize the physiological performance of s.o.f. operators including enhanced in durance enhanced senses tolerance to environmental extremes and enhanced overall fitness in order to maintain operational posture ability in high stress scenarios without noticeable augmentation and without hampering personnel mobility additionally the ability to accelerate the effects of sleep through methods requiring less time a vivid picture i know the prototype. please.

now let's give this a little context this won't be the first time that the u.s. military has engaged in this kind of research.

now at the time these grotesque experiments using american g.i.'s and civilians essentially as the lab rats at the time they were taking place the public knew nothing about it was all classified now the public documents indicate that these new experiments will not involve human beings only human simulators however anyone who is familiar with the not so well publicized but very well documented history of u.s. military research will certainly raise an eyebrow kaleb up and r.t. new york. russia is at its again that's the claim by the us magazine the atlantic it says the kremlin has set its sights family on meds and in the upcoming midterm elections to weaken america they ought to cocos on to explain more scares and ledged three step plan to break american democracy first unleashed russian hackers secondly by corrupt us politicians and there isn't any support those who think favorably of pivoted but it's not just the russian state that's come under

suspicion the atlantico so claims this fairy channel helps undermine democracy by inviting on guests who dat to question mainstream narratives the magazine names bond and struck him as an example he's the found to have a movement encouraging democrats so walk away from that policy there the atlantic fails to point out that he talks to other media outlets to. well i i myself was a lifelong liberal democratic voter i would say kind of a democrat by default because i'm a gay man and i think that the expectation for a lot of minority groups is that we are supposed to vote democrat and that we are supposed to be liberals friend straight has spent years as a liberal he now says he's concerned by what the left has become well before the election i was already starting to feel uncomfortable with where we were headed in terms of identity politics and p.c. culture. well political commentator headline all explained why he

thinks that the russian articles get written nobody ever calls these people to task they are paid for by volume or how many likes to get how many clicks hey that was a great article factually incorrect. factually a baseless and also the mentality just feeding frenzy of this this monster this monster that you must feed constantly with this no rush no nato no bad guy no bogeymen so there's many reasons why the book even the strawman dispatcher the evil image of russia must be maintained. russian cannot today if charged with acting as a russian agent in us has been sent to another prison with and without notifying had leuer more details on the case suffer shall pray.

but politicians do something. they put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be preached. to the right to be close to see what the full story of the morning completely.

understood all those in the waters of. the city. welcome back to the program in the u.s. city of seattle hundreds of people are tending a demonstration organized by the rightwing great patriot press the rally is being held under the slogan liberty or death. the gathering has attracted counter protesters from the left leading from minor clashes between the two sides at least three people have been arrested but there's no information yet on possible charges dozens of police officers including some in riot gear with battens have taken positions that the site of the protests.

in iran the gun activist who's been charged with acting as an undereducated russian agent in the u.s. has been transferred to another prison without. russian diplomats had compares between his treatment and custody and also the media hysteria around the case to the witch trials of the seventeenth century meanwhile the twenty nine year old has launched a crowdfunding campaign to pay for her legal defense they say russian diplomats visited buttin in prison and said she's been subjected to cruel treatment they claim she faces inhumane inspections throughout each night and to strip searched off to any visitor maria's also been deprived of proper medical attention is claimed she was suffering from swelling in her leg but was only given painkillers furthermore she is not allowed to receive letters written in russian if affairs they might contain coded messages the russian embassy stressed she's still

a suspect not a convict's grittiness lawyer updated us on the condition. i was unaware that she was transferred until last night at around midnight i received a collect call from her at home and the phone was disconnected before we could get through but i knew it was from alexandria jail so i drove down and tried to get in last night and could not but i was able to get in this morning and visit her so she is in alexandria detention facility at least for now for this weekend it's a smaller facility than the d.c. jail as respected facility but it's hard to know why the move was made where there was made for medical or other reasons or in response to complaints about the conditions in d.c. she does have arthritis in one of her legs kind of a history of problems with that leg so she sought treatment for that and so far has just received tylenol and nothing else and i think she has also been a little bit frustrated by policy when people are in protective custody they do bad checks every fifteen minutes at night to check on detainee safety and i think

sometimes depending on who the guard is you know the lights are turned on every time there's a check and so it's very hard to get proper sleep when you're being woken up every fifteen minutes she's segregated from the general population of the prison facility you know no contact really with outside people besides her lawyers and occasional phone calls and when you're being held. in some isolation like that it's difficult because every every thing she wanted to do is kind of a one off request there isn't a very set schedule and so it was very difficult to make sure she was getting her proper exercise and. trips to the library and things like that because everything she did she had to do by yourself or anyone would have an easy time in prison but in this is an accomplished student you know someone who i don't think ever envision spending a day in jail or a life to be in you know it's a pretty tough facility. they alleged russian agents was arrested over a month ago she was refused bail off to pleading not guilty two weeks ago she's

also accused of offering sex in an attempt to get a job in an unnamed special interest group if convicted space and could face up to fifteen the is in prison no date has been yet set for her trial but her lawyer remains optimistic. she's in very good shape she's helping actively with us to prepare the defense she's confident in her innocence there's no allegation of espionage there's no allegation of classified information childish and she was paying anyone off there's no allegation she was recruiting spies none of the things you would typically see in an espionage case the allegations are fairly vanilla that she attended meetings of various groups that were public that she had dinners with various people and she took a lot of selfies as i think a lot of people are twenty's do with with people she met and posted them on facebook so this is not the kind of a typical this is no comparison to what the allegations were against for example at a chapman or others where there was actual whether they were true or not there are

actual allegations about the use of sophisticated equipment and payoffs and spy ring and things like that there's none of that here with some point maybe try to get her released pretrial again we're just looking through documents trying to find the proper evidence to do that i think we may be able to do that hopefully the next couple of weeks. compiler and appears to be the latest victim of facebook's recent spree of shutting down accounts the social justice movement how this page taken down for several hours the movement says this is not the face time facebook has tried to censor its content ok pylons and was founded in two thousand and eleven it's part of a global movement silicon i think hundreds of protest against financial elite the movement says its founding values the equality and diversity occupy london has a significant social media presence with around one hundred fifty thousand followers on facebook some believe set in prior posts by

a component and might be to blame for facebook site action we also facebook's a comments the social media giant has since apologized to occupy london saying it was a mistake but it's one of the movement's activist george isn't convinced. if you would just you know sort of a blip in the state of the blue probably wouldn't mean very much at all but the problem is this is part of a massive rear guard action i think by the establishment you know anyone can go online and see the evidence this themselves chris hedges is a pulitzer prize winning journalist is being one of those exposing most the details of this but effectively what's happened is it in the name of dealing with fake news and many progressive websites that have been a major part of you know bernie sanders jeremy corbyn etc. they used they found the traffic going down. websites like alter net truthdig that even thing today in terms of discussion is still a very powerful force online and has millions of people engaging with its posts and

so it's very important that they are not as like them on not in the name of fake news effectively removed from most people's internet searches and i think this is a huge issue going forward bearing in mind that google and facebook are very very close to the american establishment you know the washington post is owned by jeff bezos he was and is an answer but not surprisingly he's very keen on using the washington post to make sure that the internet allows his articles to come up at the top of searches and no arms. to spain now where graffiti has been a pairing in the spanish city of barcelona encouraging holiday makers to jump off their hotel balconies some of it suggests the potentially potentially deadly practice known as fun one of their graffiti messages mocking the claims that improves the quality of life for locals balcony can refer either to jumping into a pool from about kony or climbing from one one balcony to another the risk activity is growing in popularity with tourists some hotels have banned this and

introduced fines. thank you. were at the balcony that sprung a pinball salerno has baulked online with people pointing out that this year alone six people have died performing the stunt most of them were from britain or islands the u.k. foreign office has warned against engaging in the practiced and in the majority of accidents victims have been drunk and lost their balance we got the reaction from tourists and boss elaina. thanks for the a c. will we need to post so i am out last night ok then there is no sir like many

messages saying violence like me against terrorists i guess the same in them stuff like they want to have the city for over and they know it's important to maintain jobs to make some money out of the poorest word and i figure if you get some kind of tax why can't i have this many tourists from to yawn that it's all comfortable for and have to have its own side for this as well i think last night such a scene that's just so old and is so much fun and it should be accepting the current foreign policy statements aggressive against seriously this is the main source of the things but not something i've just said. thank you to texas if i would live here and i see the guys who are in my city. hall style sometimes as though like that's your rant up for that you can always visit our teens are more social media pages for an update on the net to stories next

there is the kinds of reports on earthy. you know world's big partisan movie lot and conspiracy 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 bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the

hawks. it's a very rough terrain you so it's rough climates and you have to fight to be able to them if. it was gunshots going talcum and very fresh they would have been in the end i've been even not. going back up. you know i don't want. to see a better body in this world when these are the two punches read in the good. old to me a good mood and if. you don't think about these leave the soldier on no you've got three to like and you know and the other patients.

i'm asked as this is the cause a report to show that goes deeper. so max we've been talking about social media quite a lot in the past year year and a half and the fact that these are giant monopolies that control much of the social media space however in this. hysteria that we've had since trump was elected and sure it was a shock to many in the corporate media that he won because they had promised with great certainty that it was ninety nine percent certain that hillary clinton was going to win the data they saw or they chose to look at was hillary clinton was going to win but that turned out to have been news they were wrong so since then we've had this whole backlash against fake news not the one they presented but the

what the individual citizens of america have been presenting so in the past week we saw facebook shut down these pages of activist groups here in washington d.c. they shut down their facebook group because they said they acted like russians well it turns out they were actual citizens of america that are activists who were here in washington d.c. they were organizing to basically counter protests against the nazis that are coming into town to protest so they wanted to counter protest them facebook deleted them on the word of atlantic.
