good food russia sharing goodness. facebook fans hundreds of pages groups in a counseling still around and russia for alleged political meddling. french interior ministry admits that the terrorist suspect allegedly involved in planning the attack was freed by a court because of a bureaucratic failure. coming to this video of a british police apparently slapping a teenage girl during the arrest causes a rage and triggers debate about what constitutes reasonable force doing the job to a grown police officers can find a way of restraining a fourteen year old go back to them is a source fourteen year old girl's phone calls are just like anybody else. and as relations between the e.u. and us to tear it germany's foreign ministers just the european alternative to that swift global payment system gives the block financial independence from u.s.

pressure. just to hear moscow this surfer's in the twenty third of august will welcome to you for me kevin and the rest of the team here at r.t. international starting with you coming in from paris this lunchtime say that one person think killed another two have been seriously injured after a knife attack in the french capital where he was unarmed in a suburb in the west of the city apparently seen as the suspect reportedly shot dead by the police no word on the motive or anything else is going on there but soon as we do get more on that will of course bring you up to speed on it. elsewhere facebook recently launched that crusade against the spread of misinformation and fake news didn't it one now continuing that vein is now banned hundreds of pages it claims a link to iran and russia for alleged trying to sway political opinion has got the

lead story today. thanks for joining us i believe it 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 the us of those by. some of them through. facebook already enables users to check if they've been exposed to russian bots and trolls from an apparent russian troll factory how many trolls does it take to incite i've evolution 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 authentic 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. ask her 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 i'm now going to be blamed for an authentic behavior and get a red card sooner or later i. universe.

will come to the oasis 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 in the 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 it 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. it is most of the british police officer probably slapping a fourteen year old girl during a rest the images soon spread online and divided public opinion please be aware the video does contain scenes of violence. but he was was. was was. was

was mind you this was your question please say they responded to a disturbance involving youths fighting there while they attend to the get the girl under control the male officer probably struck the teenager in the face and claimed that it was in response to her trying to grab a taser and police radio the girl in a fifty two year old woman were arrested on suspicion of assault two officers had to receive medical treatment for a bite and cuts is a better reaction has been to the incident than why would a fully grosser need to palm strike a fourteen year old girl meets a 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 chiefs have justified the of his actions saying 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 tick nique switch may look shocking to untrained on will curse early here for british police unspayed to peter kirkman a social justice campaigner george barda 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 girl back to them but 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 police officer 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 four year old girl on the break and if the officer's 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 tall 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 having a hate to a man you should 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 that 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 you 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 and the conversation went on now next something that you probably would never have seriously thought were being talked about a couple of months ago but now proposals for an alternative to the swift banking system becoming a legitimate discussion topic in the german foreign minister has floated the idea

of an independent system free crucially from u.s. pressure where the u.s. crosses red lines we as europeans must counterbalance as hard as that is it is indispensable that with strength in the european autonomy by creating channels that are independent of the united states the european monetary fund and independence with system so swift for stuff all of this stuff are good for pub quiz this it's the society for worldwide interbank financial telecommunications and it's a global payment network designed to secure transactions between banks and companies eleven thousand financial institutions and two hundred countries swift claims political neutrality crucially but of late it's apparently caved in to american pressure let me tell you about that case in point after washington withdrew from the iran nuclear deal and then reimposed sanctions against iran was left with a pretty stark choice cut off the reigning banks from its network by early november or face an asset freeze travel bans and restrictions to do business in america now

german m.p. from the day party thinks although the foreign ministers call does make sense it's come at the wrong time. the one who controls finance controls everything so in this sounds like this the kitchen 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 worsen the ties with the united states at the same time when europe itself has deteriorated his relations with russia so with the boldness of mr masse it's not in the right time and not at

the right place. of america's closest allies the kind of treatment the e.u.'s been receiving from the us is not what you'd call friendly these days. the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal that diminishes come from an international order it is never good last break the laws that we ourselves helped to create. we saying things to them they say no thank you we don't take you for. free trade that's stupid trade so now we will also impose import tariffs we can also do stupid things we also have to be this stupid in. this business is a load of us seen the choice between doing business with

a run business with the united states is very clear to them. secretary of russia's security council nicholai patricia fisk errantly meeting is american counterpart john bolton there in geneva or it comes at a time when relations between the two countries are especially fraught interesting meeting when our europe correspondent peter all of us look forward to it hi there significant meeting isn't it or can we expect from it hallo. right well they've been talking just behind me in the u.s. mission here in geneva for just over an hour right now would be keenly looking to see what comes out of that meeting that the groundwork for this get together was laid last month when presidents trump and putin met in helsinki however that meeting was really overshadowed by all of the the hysteria at the fact that they were meeting in the first place so these type of the things between national security advisers and the likes of mr partnership in his role as secretary of the security council in russia this is supposed to be where the the actual work gets

done and people move forward on issues presidential meetings more often than not a handshake and a signature on a deal it's already done however the problem that's facing the russian and u.s. sides in this particular meet is the fact that relations between washington and moscow added a severe low ebb the moment in fact while these meetings ongoing we don't know if a further load of sanctions against russia from the u.s. could drop over the attempted murder in the poisoning of insults bre earlier this year now the russian side deny any involvement in not attempts on the life of miscreant pile but the sanctions and they aren't sanctions that have come from the anti russia lobby in the u.s. they are haven't come from congress they've come from the desk of the president because donald trump says this well the sanctions and his opinion on needed to normalize relations with the russian site say they refute any claims that be made against them deny any involvement in the attempt to miss descript life and say they

are going to change their foreign policy for the united states but also one of the issues that we really are expecting to hear some movement on or at least attempted some movement on is what's going on on the ground in syria russia wants to see an international and international commitment to funds to rebuild syria however just recently the united states has actually moved those funds that had been earmarked for the rebuilding of syria. on to other projects the important thing that the u.s. side wants from this meeting is a ram to pull out of syria the russian sites say that isn't something that's happening any time soon then there's been talk of chemical weapons in the lead up to this damascus and the assad government deny any claims that they have used chemical weapons during this conflict that's raged on for years in syria however john bolton before we came here to geneva before we came to this meeting in geneva it said that should chemical weapons be used in a glib that that would be

a red line that would result in a forceful response from the united states. we now see plans for the syrian regime to resume offensive military activities and it would. we are obviously sure. if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly. so we'll be looking to see if there's any movement from this meeting between two senior figures from washington and moscow are looking to see if there's any movement on syria on the iran nuclear deal on nuclear containment in north korea however with the relationship between russia and the united states in the state that it's in right now we should really just be glad that they're speaking in the first place yanno to be a fly on the wall this a pleasure to talk about our sources maybe a press or to the media from both of them in about four hours time i think will be across the back to then thanks from yes we keep an eye on that. paperwork heresies

a suspected terror plot to walk free in france tell you about that after this break . p.j.'s national camera. roughly once they showed some was paying for them. to joan cool videos and sell them with the broken string apps. going down more on string i don't roughly don't t.v. . i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth he longs to the cult for rich eight point six

percent market saw thirty percent rise 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 number you need to remember is one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only boom bust. lisa suspected terror plot or over a bureaucratic error according to french interior ministry rif national reports from paris. an interesting story here in fronts indeed and alleged islam is terror plotter was freed here early in april because an investigating judge had forgotten to renew his pretrial custody and 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 through much more to go that it is obviously agree failure i think the justice minister already initiated an internal probe to identify the reason for this failure 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 leon 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 sixty eight of these people have already left friends to fight in syria and iraq after the man was freed in april justice ministry says he's been under strict additional 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 from five hundred people known french prisons for terrorism offenses according to the justice ministry paris based political analyst bruno dress ski doesn't believe the release of the suspect simply a bureaucratic error here. if it was not so tragic it would be a joke. she was treated so i mean it's completely illogical after all we can understand if you read pretty care or what but it's too hot in there or it looks are just incredible but i don't think it's just

a bureaucracy error i think it serves it's a general. situation and you know things with terrorism in its ranks and especially late with syria it runs are very complicated and unclear so it's very difficult not to imaging 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 rethought. prison inmates made some across the u.s. are protesting against what they call modern day slavery they're demanding humane conditions and holding peaceful sit ins and hunger strikes the protest was organized to mark a deadly riot in a maximum security prison in south carolina 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 could have been avoided if the correctional facility had another crowded in conditions about at the inmates have several

demands one of them to end prison the slavery as they put it out also for a proper way to prisoners are put in work in roles such as cleaning cooking and lawn mowing sometimes for as little as four cents an hour they claim that black inmates to get hefty a sentences are denied parole because the skin color they also want more rehabilitation and medical services paul right from the human rights defense center thinks that prisoners are being deprived of essential treatment. big government this country has for the past forty years is 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 a third world prisons. you know such death rates are all but i've heard of the us now as opposed largest prison population two point three million inmates come pain to say the jails that have five times as many prisoners has other industrialized nations and anyone at all in every one hundred to save time poll right again think that it's a government decision to deprive the inmates of their rights. one of these that pervades the criminal justice system in the united states at the judicial level is biased in favor of the government's story think for 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 adequate mental health care treatment so it's not provide educational opportunities to enslave the people of the system to brutalize them and to deprive them of basic human rights these are all government decisions that have been made.

we've got some more on the story a mention of the top of the program just to remind you she's joined this scum in the last hour or so reports from paris saying one person's been killed two others seriously injured in a knife attack there in the french capital these latest pictures in from the scene or close to it the instant how the suburb in the west of the city never the suspect apparent was shot by police and neutralized as they termed it strange to him but you get the gist reports say that he shouted god is great in arabic during the attack that's new in some french media say the suspect was convicted of inciting terrorism in twenty sixteen so it seems this person would appear to have some history here authorities say the police operation is over but to avoid the area it's midday twenty five thanks for being with us keep in touch with all the breaking news like that as it happens down here up and your mobile device by downloading our update on that already we'll check out our t. dot com for now it's kevin owen saying thanks for watching this bulleted more in thirty four minutes.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be friends with. that's of like to be press that's what the forecast three of the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my colleagues. question. finally in a duffel and also to pick up now cause of the live on thousand people

a point about. finding if you leave you would it be that easy to find a friend that i had in me. plus is that going to see plus to people. getting. what i thought it might have been my little bit of a wonderful not that i little bit out accept that out of money could be no doubt much of the woodwork to mop up to get a job but it. exists in london just slightly lose. some forces of the. system. to see. if anybody will fold up.

when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it means to live the death penalty just because they 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 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 saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.

if guys are this is the kaiser report up here in toronto canada thank you chair a bunch of gays are here and they're like i don't think these quack but they go. through honking and that's almost talking it isn't so if i think they're honking at those boats out there on the water they don't like them hanging around we're still in canada that's a canadian. to say it's one goose over there if they make one lose many there are a gaggle of us were on this team were heading into the midterm elections in the united states we're here reporting from the frontline to see if many more americans my threaten to come here and there are certainly building a lot of property so there's plenty of space for you here but i'm looking at the us economy because my belief is that bill clinton was right it's the economy stupid and that's what people and that's what voters care about some you know if you if
