and the us to germany's foreign minister now suggesting a european alternative to the swiss global payment system to give the block financial independence from the u.s. pressure. hi there for good morning just after ten in the morning moscow time is thursday the twenty third of august welcome to the program watching out international with me kevin first facebook recently launched a crusade didn't it against the spread of misinformation and fake news and now it's banned hundreds of pages linked to iran and russia for what it describes a coordinated in authentic behavior including shared unappropriated political content trying to report. thanks for joining us franco with your latest news in the world of social media facebook and twitter have gotten rid of suspicious. accounts spewing fakes and propaganda from iran the troll factories not

only after the minds of the americans but users all over the world it's claimed to be run by iran's government media. not us of the by. some of them through. facebook already enables users to check if they've been exposed to russian balls and trolls from an apparent russian troll factory how many trolls does it take to incite of revolution scores of so-called russian bots took over twitter and facebook in all sessional networks russian trolls have been accused of infiltrating facebook well some stories never seem to die well this facebook slash twitter online police raid is an actual news story this week yeah you can take plenty of the earlier reports replace the word russia with iran and get pretty much identical stuff all right speaking of facebook this time it bad six hundred twenty five pages

traced to iran and an unknown number of pages linked to russia it just wouldn't work if russia didn't get mentioned and the reason for this verdict is we removed multiple pages groups and accounts for coordinated in offensive behavior on facebook and instagram what kind of sin is this in authentic behavior let's hear from zuck speak will they use similar tactics by creating networks of accounts to mislead others about who they were and what they were doing we ban this kind of behavior because we want people to be able to trust the connections they make on facebook. the issue of trusting what pops out at you from the internet it's almost as old as i am asking where we should meet. it seems like you're chatting with somebody just like yourself not only even if they show

a picture of themselves it may not really be who they say they are it could be somebody dangerous i'm not trying to say criminals who take advantage of online platforms shouldn't be banned or prosecuted but dear facebook the way the internet and social networks have worked for years is that users can be who they want to be online who said they must stick to what someone thinks is authentic behavior what if i want to be an elf or santa or a real news hound and my now going to be blamed for an authentic behavior and get a red card sooner or later i. universe. will come to the us as for all the things they can do i. may stay because of all the things they can well looks like online platforms will force us

to adjust to a new reality where a step away from your genuine behavior may lead to a ban or some distinguished fact checkers will tell you who you should or shouldn't trust how's this for a policy update facebook's just announced it will assess how good or how bad their users are at flagging fake news we developed a process to protect against people indiscriminately flagging news is fake and attempting to game the system the reason we do this is to make sure that our fight against misinformation is as effective as possible i think it's political pressure i think it really comes down to that they are putting themselves. position of mediating human relationships which is first of all a very unhealthy thing to do and it's something that they really are grossly. incompetent to do and users primarily will not know what is being done to them and

they will be manipulated in all sorts of ways we don't know what kind of place so next time when he choose to complain about a post online think twice what if the fact checkers disagree in fact whatever you do they're better think twice. videos most of a british police officer apparently slapping a fourteen year old girl during an arrest the images soon spread online the divided public opinion piece but whether what's coming up in this video does can say it contains scenes of violence. that your god. was going to god. was mine. was yeah ok i'm going.

to write police say they responded to a disturbance evolving use fighting while they tend to get the girl under control a male officer party struck the teenager in the face is claimed that was in response to her trying to grab a taser in a police radio with a girl in a fifty two year old woman arrested on suspicion of assault two officers had to receive medical treatment for bites and cuts it a little of the reaction has been them to the incident why would a fully grown man police officer need to palm strike a fourteen year old girl the video shows nothing more than police brutality the officers in question need sacking the open palm head was to disorientate her so they could get her arms she was being very violent in my opinion i'm not force was very necessary. agent john done no excuses for resisting arrest there's no deserved or not about it he used adequate force to protect himself and detain the suspect at the same time police chief said justify the officer's actions saying that the video

does not give the full picture of the situation we understand this finish may appear concerning however officers are trained to use restraint economics which may look shocking to untrained on will curse well earlier an r.t. for british police inspector peter kirkwood and social justice campaigner george but i went head to head over it. clearly to many people like myself it seems that there must have been a better way of dealing with that situation than bashing that go in the head in bashing a head into a metal shutter to grown place officers can find a way of restraining a fourteen year old go back to them i'll tell you what you say tell us i just tell us if that's why this is this is wise and tell us your the place of the you tell me the only alternatives available to the officer that i could see were allowed to keep a name and snatching his taser and radio which wouldn't have ended well or take it to the ground and then you'd be moaning about having police officer on the floor in the role going on with ray and if the officers use of force isn't right then he

would be prosecuted or disciplined for it that act of bashing that would bashing that girl in the head and i do think it makes a difference that she was a forty year ago if she was a you know six foot four man i think would be a different situation in times and. i think if the police aren't trained to deal with fourteen year old girls that are being violent in ways that don't require them to bash them in their heads into metal metal shutters since any police officer uses any force whatsoever it's described as police brutality which it isn't you also keep saying for a girl like that has any relevance fourteen year old girls can calls are just like anybody else telling me that two grown police officers two grown police officers with four limbs to deal with on one person they can't restrain those four limbs and and the body without bashing the head into mental chatter and to go back to the point i made before and i don't for you this wasn't about using a hate to a man you should use or have talked about. this is about recognizing that if the

police can respond to a video like that with with pure defensiveness i think the problems are only going to get worse between sections of the public they already have a lot of doubts about the police black clothes matter in the us for instance it's not as if the police haven't been brutalizing people for many years it's that people now have smartphones and can record it would be better off supporting the police in trying. to keep order and questioning why fourteen year old girls are brawling in the street with other children of that age instead of question in the actions of the police doing their best to deal with that situation. says released a suspected terror plotter over a bureaucratic error according to the french interior ministry rif national reports from paris. an interesting story here in fronts indeed an alleged islam is terror plot or was freed here early in april because an investigating judge had forgotten to renew his pretrial custody in this information was first emerged in the local media but was later confirmed by francis justice ministry french government

spokesperson has called it a failure and should not afford to go that it is obviously a great failure i think the justice minister already initiated an internal probe to identify the reason for the speech and then introduce certain amendments to prevent such things from happening in the future because obviously the priority now is to find this individual the man who was one of the defendants in the case over alleged planned terror attack in the e.u. on area here in france in two thousand and fourteen and was also believed to be part of a terrorist network sending fighters to syria he was one of fifteen people accused of being involved in this activity and eight of these people have already left fronts to fight in syria and iraq after the man was freed in april justice ministry says he's been under strict judicial control which means he was restricted on movements and he had to come to an assigned police officer twice a day to report his activities and his whereabouts but just

a month after that in may the man was found outside the restricted area he was driving a car without a license and there were pictures found on his cell phone that could be classified as islamic state group propaganda the man then appeared before the court and he was freed again and now as we just heard from the government spokesperson there thought his biggest challenge is to track him down the road five hundred people have known french prisons for terrorism offenses according to the justice ministry political analyst boudreaux skied doesn't believe that the release of the suspect is simply a bureaucratic error. if it was not so tragic it would be a joke because it's time tuppence us st so i mean it's completely illogical after all we can understand a bureaucracy carrot one but two times too hard but never it looks so it's just incredible but i don't think it's just

a bureaucracy error i think it's certain it's a general. situation and you know things with terrorism and ramps and especially things lit with syria it runs are very complicated and unclear so it's very difficult not to imagine that there is something behind the scenes the most important prisoners are not under control so i mean it's all do do do administration has to be reformed. thanks this morning something no one would have taken seriously just a few months ago maybe an alternative to the swift banking payment system it's now become a legitimate discussion point in the e.u. german foreign minister heiko masses floated the idea of an independent system free from u.s. pressure they're for. where the u.s. crosses red lines we as europeans must counter-balance as hard as that is it is indispensable that we strengthen the european autonomy by creating channels that

are independent of the united states a european monetary fund and an independence with system let's for a minute remind us of what swift is it stands for the society for worldwide interbank financial telecommunications a global payment network is designed to secure transactions between banks in companies eleven thousand financial institutions and two hundred countries as you can see now swift claims political neutrality officially but it has apparently caved in lately to american pressure case in point being after washington withdrew from the iran nuclear deal and then re imposes sanctions against iran swift had some tough choices to make it cutting it had to cut off the rainy and banks from its network by a little verbal or face an asset freeze travel bans and restrictions to do business in america a german m.p. from the f.t. party thinks although the foreign minister called it makes sense it's come at the wrong time that. the one who controls finance controls everything

so in this sense this to teach a goal of mr marson making europe and germany a more independent by creating its own financial system it's still it's a strategic goal that has its right to exist but please we have to to take into account possible reactions from the united states i think they won't be fond of this idea and we cannot afford to ruin the ties with the united states at the same time when europe itself has deteriorated his relations with russia sold the baldness of mr mars it's not in the right time and not at the right place well europe's one of america's oldest allies the kind of treatment the e.u. has been receiving from the u.s. of late is not what you could call friendly.

the united states well with the growing from the aranda nuclear deal to ministers constantly international you need is never good for us to break them we ourselves help to create. we saying things to them they say no thank you we don't take you. out free trade that's stupid trade pisco. expect the europeans will see this business is all over europe with a choice between doing business with iran we're going business with the united states very close and. thanks for watching this morning richard around the world lot more to come more about those u.s. sanctions just as a poll out says in fact the majority of americans would prefer to smooth the diplomatic waters with russia as sort of make it more waves because one of the

stories out of this break. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten times champion each day. eighty five percent of global wealth to the rich each week six percent market thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit for shaq and when rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need

remember it was one of those you can't afford to miss the one and only. get a new round of u.s. sanctions against russia which would you to be enacted around the twenty second of august yes they are not coming to force has been no official confirmation of the exact date when the going to be applied. they were imposed over the poisoning of a russian double agent and his daughter in the u.k. earlier in the year which the kremlin has been accused of orchestrating moscow continues to deny the accusations and an investigation is still ongoing now there to protect the projected waves of anti russia sanctions that come to the first will

affect the sale of u.s. made electronic components for aviation and space industries moscow says pretty much those measures won't have an effect on the on the russian public then though russia could face more draconian restrictions as the being described in november they could reportedly hit banking and trade between the two countries further as well as limit diplomatic ties and there's also a threat that russia state airline could be banned from using u.s. airspace caleb maupin has been gauging what americans actually make of these latest moves against russia that. well if you watch the recent hearings on capitol hill american politicians are rather outspoken about what they think about these new moves against russia ongoing efforts to interfere in our sacrosanct election process seize and those of our allies are just some of the unacceptable behaviors of the putin regime putin wants to break apart the american republic russia's attempts to interfere in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election are well and widely known russia has undertaken

a campaign of malign activities in its attempt to compete with us our allies and our partners and that's a two thirty one gives us more tools with which to respond however a new gallup poll shows that among the u.s. public fifty eight percent that's well over half favor improving relations between the usa and russia and that it's just over a third thirty six percent that say they want further steps against moscow and now we decided to go out on the streets of new york and talk to people about these new sanctions more than half of americans want the usa and russia to get along better are you one of those people i wouldn't mind yes one i want everybody to get in the room you know thinking unity is the way to go peace you know where we fighting with russia. who knows the truth is obviously known only to being you know these tell you one thing but it could be do you have another reason for playing you know they've put sanctions on russia before and according to the officials it hasn't stopped their activities so i think it's

a good move to keep doing them. and maybe more the cold war was terrible for everybody you know we need to thread the delicate needle of not encouraging bad behavior while recognizing that there are a world power that needs to be respected for their capabilities and you know navigating through that is not simple i think it is important that we do sanction mashhad they have to be and putting and eco substances into other countries that were allied with illegal subs. the. period to be related to the gulf many of us anyway more than half of americans want better relations between the two countries where you think that should be more. and i mean you think it be good for the usa and russia to get along right. why can't we get along with russia i mean i think that we can but it would be really difficult right now in the situation now where and when. you know the current president i mean it's nice to get along but you can't trust russia they always been under another me so they get what they deserve

a better relationship with everybody i'm in favor of russian would think one hundred percent of our country wants a better relationship with russia and i would think a hundred percent of russians want to get a relationship with us and the north koreans and the iranians and the mexicans and you know and the people in new jersey for that matter they say this is the best way to deal with russia's malign activities are these sanctions do you buy that argument now you know really believe anything anyway i am i to believe the people that we spoke to seem to overwhelmingly feel that it would be better if the united states and russia could see eye to eye get along more now that certainly just isn't the feeling on capitol hill we've heard a lot of hostility to russia from american politicians but it's just not there on the streets. prison inmates across the u.s. a protest against what the cold modern day slavery they're demanding humane conditions and holding peaceful sit ins and hunger strikes over it the protest was

organized to mark a deadly riot in a maximum security prison in south carolina back in april seven inmates were killed and more than a dozen injured in a riot which the media described as a senseless uprising prisoners say it could have been avoided though with the facility had been haven't been rather overcrowded from the greed of mass incarceration and inhuman conditions as they put it the inmates have several demands they want to end prison slavery they want to proper way jail so prison is put to work in roles such as cleaning. king and loan money sometimes was an innocent four cents an hour they claim that black inmates also get hefty sentences and they're denied parole because of their skin color they also want more rehabilitation and medical services pull right from the human rights defense and to think that prison is a being deprived of essential treatment. the government this country has for the past forty years as a war upon a very anti-human rights crusade against people who've been accused of crimes or

convicted of crimes of this country prisoners routinely die from medical legal acts because they don't receive treatment for very basic medical conditions mentally ill prisoners languish in perfect conditions where they don't receive treatment for their mental health is illnesses you don't see such huge percentages of prison populations dying of preventable causes in the countries of industrialized prisons even in third world prisons. you know such death rates are all but i've heard of the us now as well as largest prison population two point three million inmates campaign a say the jails there have five times as many prisoners as other industrialized nations and one adult every one the hundred this time polaroid again thinks that it's a government decision to deprive the inmates of their rights one of things that pervades the criminal justice system in the united states at the judicial level is bias in favor of the government and that comes to rethink from people accused of crimes to

preserve challenging their conditions of confinement that's one of the main problems it's very much a governmental decision that's been made to not provide adequate medical care to not provide out of that mental health care treatment to not provide educational opportunities to enslave the people within the system to brutalize them into deprive them of basic human rights these are all government decisions that have been made. well the news from us as soon as it happens are up. in moscow this thursday morning it's ten twenty five just after nine eleven and saying look at. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. somehow want to be that's. what you're going to be for us this is what the full spectrum of all can be good. i'm interested always in the logs of our. thanks to. finally an hour from now so they can get to where i live now has a little ant on taliban people apply a. line and he would be who would it be that leads me to the point in time that i had a new. lease plus is that going to be pleasant to the loom to. what i've done my duty by my little bit and they wonder if i'm about out of it that i accept that i don't have money going to know about much of

the way to work tomorrow i'm going to get a bite and. this is monday to fly you lose. some boards of the. right. to see. you can be no problem. please. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. the belly of the beast i'm part chilton thanks for being on board we're glad to

have you lots to get to today including cryptocurrency is christy i account her part x. joins us plus the latest in cyprus with the latest on cyber security with todd shipley the c.e.o. of vero software who is with us in d.c. in studio this time and we look at the business of flying cars as our to correspond to trinity charges joins us from new york but this time we pop star. the program with markets the standard and poor's five hundred revenue as an earnings were huge in the second quarter of the year topping ten percent year over year we reported on many of those earnings right here right here so it might not come a surprise that stock markets are doing well but as we reported here yesterday last time they are doing exceedingly well and yesterday the s. and p. five hundred reached a new historical hard plus yesterday the equaled the longest bull run ever in history today stocks were mixed but there's no mistaking the monumental milestone

that has been reached and here to put it into perspective is our friend henry ford which the c.e.o. of straw mark hillary thank you as always for being here what do you make of this welcome about well it is very long and there have been other long runs as well though let's not forget the one nine hundred twenty s. one nine hundred sixty s. as well and also of course there was the clinton bump in the one nine hundred ninety s. i think one thing that's obvious is that reduced stocks when you lower stocks so when you have taxes when you know it taxes it always results in a great stock market fuel injection of exotic and i think it's i think it's two things it's not just the boom in the fuel injection absolutely but it's confidence is business confidence you've got more money in your pocket and there's also a degree of certainty that's one of the great on the paintings of this economy the certainty because of the daybreak elation and of course the lower taxes is going to help this continue you know what one weird thing is that so we talk about the i agree there's certainty but how weird is it and we don't cover the russian investigators. and colin and all that but how weird is it that you get these things

out there going on in the news somehow may impact the president the united states at the same time you have the markets like this i mean it's got to be sort of a you know a put people in a quandary as to the mix of what's going on right i mean that's not certainty no no it isn't and i think that's actually one of the things as is if you had to say to me what will happen in the future nobody knows if anybody knew that they are. maybe a multi multi multi billionaire but i think one thing that will happen is if there is any degree of i mean there's not going to be an impeachment but if there is any degree of shaking of trump's agenda that would reverberate in terms of a stock slowdown the market likes to dent gender and why not the business community does it and that surely as you say the tax cuts that was the big the other thing is the regulatory actions and also there's a certainty i guess sunday and also don't forget the repatriation that's one thing people are talking about as much anymore the repay tree.
