this is headline stories i've heard sees hundreds of a two hour run on russia blocked by the social media giant for alleged political meddling also ahead this hour. video of a british policeman slumping a teenage girl during in a. rage on triggers debate about what constitutes reasonable force to a grown place and can find a way of restraining the fourteen year old go. tell us. just like anybody else. does relations between the european union and the u.s. the two rates germany's foreign minister suggests a european alternative to the swift global payments system to give the blog

financial independence from american pressure. from moscow to the world this is your r.t.e. international. news update this hour and you know neal our top story facebook has bombed hundreds of pages the claims are linked to a run for allegedly trying to sway political opinion it's part of a recently launched crusade against the spread of misinformation on fake news and a little bit deeper for us thanks for joining us franco with your latest news in the world of social media facebook and twitter have gotten rid of suspicious accounts schooling fakes and propaganda from iran the troll factory. 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 balls and trolls how many trolls does it take to incite i've evolution scores of so-called russian bots took over twitter and facebook 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 inauthentic 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 my now going to be blamed for an authentic behavior and get a red card sooner or later i. universe i will come to the oasis for all the things they can do i. say 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. they really are grossly. incompetent to do the 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 ways so next 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 as well statistics are suggesting meanwhile the social media site might be losing some of its sparkled according to a ranking service the amount of time visitors spent on the platform is ten percent this month it also reveals that visitor interest is slipping facebook are yet to respond to requests for comment on this. video has emerged a british police officer slapping a fourteen year old girl cheering in the wrist the images soon spread online on the vine made public opinion please be aware that the video does contain scenes of violence. with your god i. was going on i was going she was ok.

it was mine this was yeah i'm going. to write well this is what we know police say they responded to a disturbance involving fighting and then attempting to get the girl under control a male officer struck a teenager in the face they claim that was in response to her trying to grab a taser on police radio the girl a fifty two year old woman where arrested on suspicion of assault to officers how to receive medical treatment for bites and cuts you're so little of the reaction there's been so far to be. why would a fully grosser 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 and that force was

very necessary agent john donne no excuses for resisting arrest there's no deserved or not about it he used adequate force to protect himself and detain the suspect or police chiefs justify the officer's actions saying the video does not give a full picture of the situation we understand this footage may appear concerning however officers are trained to use restraint igneous which may look shocking to untrained on will curse. yeah lots of reaction going for either side in this and earlier r t former british police inspector peter kirk and george barda who's a social justice campaigner went head to head over the incident 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 the 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 police officer you tell me the only alternatives available to that 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 heavy police officers on a four year old go on the ground and if the officers use of force isn't right then he would be prosecuted all discipline 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 fourteen year ago if she was a you know six foot fall man i think would be a different situation in terms of your place where 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 lot that has any relevance fourteen year old girls can cause 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 a point i made before and i don't for you this wasn't about having a hate to a man you should use or have talked about. this is about recognising 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 there. already have a lot of doubts about the police close matter in the us for instance it's not as if the police haven't been brutalizing people for many years is 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 have brawling in the street with other children of that age instead of questioning the actions of the police doing their best to deal with that situation. is something few would have taken seriously only

a few months ago an alternative to the swift payment system has now become a legitimate discussion topic in the e.u. here's german foreign minister michael moss floating the idea of a new independent system where the us 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 we system swift or the society for worldwide inter-bank financial telecommunications is a global payment network it's designed to secure transactions between banks under and compas is eleven thousand financial institutions in two hundred nations swift claims political neutrality but has apparently caved in to american pressure in the past well after washington withdrew from the iran nuclear deal on reimpose

sanctions against iran swift has been left with a choice cut off or really in banks from its network by early november or face an asset freeze travel bans and restrictions to do business in america a german m.p. from the f.t. party thinks that although the foreign ministers call make sense it's come at the wrong time. the one who controls finance controls everything so in this sense this to keep the goal of mr marson making europe and germany more independent by creating its own financial system it's just that 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 boldness of mr mass it's not in the right time and not at the right place or the europe is one of america's closest allies the kind of treatment the e.u. has been receiving from the u.s. of late is not what you would perhaps call friendly. the united states. from the. diminishes international. break we ourselves are. we selling things to them to. free trade. so now we will also impose import tariffs you can also use we also.

see this business. business with business with the united states. the u.s. national security advisor also has a tough message regarding syria presence there it's one of the topics in talks with his russian counterpart nikolai patrushev that's being held behind closed doors in geneva it comes at a time when relations between moscow and washington are especially fraught. well the meeting between these two representatives has taken place in the u.s. mission here in geneva just behind me the groundwork for the mate was laid to during the meeting of presidents trump and last month in helsinki that meeting but

i was really overshadowed by the hysteria over the fact that those two were meeting in the first place these meetings they were usually where work is done presidential type of meets more of a photo opportunity is a signature on a on a document it's usually these meets between these type of representatives from governments where they are going out problems but the real problem at the moment and the fact that we might not get much movement on the issues is the fact that the relations between washington and moscow are at such a low ebb right now in fact fresh sanctions from the united states against russia could drop throughout the day. tend to murder in the poisoning of surrogates fall in salzburg in the united kingdom of. russia denies any involvement but the sanctions that could be put in place they are coming from the russian lobby is sometimes called off from congress coming from the desk of the u.s. president donald trump has said that he thinks that these sanctions on necessary to

normalize relations between the two countries for the russian side they deny any involvement in the attempt on said of his life and also they say that they're not going to change their foreign policy or admit to something they say they haven't done at the whim of the united states but one of the main points that we're hoping for some type of movement on meeting to come from this may take is on syria russia wants to see an international commitment to rebuild the country while the united states has just recently taken funds that were earmarked for exactly that and put them to of the needs as it's been described the united states what they really want to see is they want to see iran pull out of syria at the rush. inside is saying this isn't something that's going to happen overnight iran will pull out but it's not going to be an immediate act when it comes to chemical weapons as well we've also heard from john bolton as he was heading into this meeting before this meeting

and which he said they showed chemical weapons being used by the assad government that this would result in a show of force from the united states we now see plans for the syrian regime to resume offensive military activities and it would. we are obviously. if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly it is also worth noting that in the past when the u.s. has made these type of threats before it's usually been the precursor to some kind of major military assault they are looking to see if we can get any kind of movement on these issues but it's going to be difficult any movement on syria any movement on the iran nuclear deal of the role of iran in syria any movement on the nuclear containment procedure in north korea all of these things very difficult to

see them making major strides all day but we should really just because the two nations a speaking considering the states of the relationship between them at the moment germany corbin's got the b.b.c. in his sights where live to london on our correspondent there for the story in just a minute. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the fine.

be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. camera. roughly once they showed some leave for the. videos with the roughly stringing. me down more on string i don't roughly don't t.v. . you're back with our to international britain's opposition leader say's the public's losing trust with the news media and wants to free up the b.b.c. to make it more transparent and independent from government germy corben ses the

broadcaster could benefit from a revamp to stop audiences from. line let's go live now to westminster and artie's alycia church has been following developments from germany corbin's remarks not state what else the germy to say about all this. well you know indeed u.k. opposition party leader jeremy corbyn has presented his views on the state of affairs when it comes to the media and the press here in the u.k. this was the edinburgh television festival and he really delivered a quite comprehensive take on the way he things seeing unraveling and he did start off his speech by essentially saying that despite the importance of journalism for a variety of reasons public trust towards the press is really driven doing and he said the british people simply don't trust the media. and a free press is essential to our democracy. but much of our press isn't actually

very free at all the cozy relationship between senior press broadcasting executives media owners and indeed senior politicians the b.b.c. could be and is i believe tacitly influenced by government well that was certainly a prevalent topic in this speech as well he did talk about the media and the press being slightly too close to power and wealth he's part one point reference the media as feeling and see it said it needs to be ready for the challenges of the twenty first century indeed on the b.b.c. he said that it needs to be freed of government control and political influence should be reduced and that the press in britain according to jeremy corbyn isn't free at all. to worry about new forms of news and we've heard plenty of that we've ignored the fact that most of our citizens think our newspapers churn out

what they believe to be fake news every day all around offline print too often serves the broadcast agenda even though it is worded so firmly to the tories politically and to corporate interests more generally. well learned given those elements into account the labor party leader did make several suggestions about improving improvements he think should happen among those are making the b.b.c. a more jemma craddick representative and independent broadcaster he talked about the support of public interest journalism as well as more attention paid to local newspapers that he believes to be underfunded this particular moment in time a large part of it dedicated to creating a british digital corporation to sort of walk hand in hand with digital digital opportunities of the century as well as other suggestions such as really giving more power and influence to the public we did reach out to the b.b.c. for a comment on this and they said they are not commenting. and will it be

a vote winner or a forgery corben we wait. thank you very much ortiz and this is theater and then with the update. two people have been killed and another seriously injured in a knife attack in part this french authorities are not considering it an act of terror. the attacker had serious psychiatric problems prosecutors are not treating it as a terrorist case at the moment well valley's despite islamic state claiming it was behind the incident happened in a western suburb of the french capital in the reverse the attacker was shot dead by police at the scene of the crime well the french interior minister has confirmed the knife man's mother and sister were the ones killed by him on it by seriously wounded who reportedly also shot a goal of the greatest in our of some french media outlets have named the killer cum l. s. who was convicted of inciting terrorism in twenty sixteen and spent time in prison

. or france has been on heightened security since terror attacks in twenty fifteen but a recent bureaucratic error has led to the release of a suspected plotter according to the french interior ministry re if a national is in paris with more. an interesting story here in france indeed an alleged islamist terror plotter was freed here early in april because an investigating judge had forgotten to renew his pretrial custody this information was first emerged in the local media but was later confirmed by francis justice ministry and french government spokesperson has called it a failure to go that it is obviously a grave failure i think the justice minister already negotiated an internal probe to identify the reason for the speech and then introduce amendments to prevent such things from happening in the future which obviously the priority now is to find this individual and the man who was one of the defendants in the case over alleged

planned terror attack and then you 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 the 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 live from moscow this is r.t. international stay with us now and for more great programs right ahead. including. the unemployment rate is down the labor participation rate is high so this goes against all the doom mongers before the election to trump and of course nobody in mainstream media wants to focus on this because it would be live there in spirit to hear. what. he put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. i want. to go and. see

what before three in the morning. i'm interested in the water. you know world a big part of the movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to the 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 back 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. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us as over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten by color crimes happen each day. eighty five percent

of the global wealth you longs to the 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 roasted one hundred thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one in one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only boom but. when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder of foreign made me elizabeth 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 dennison the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying and

there's just no really the arrogant in that we want even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the respect they get kelly hears because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them to. it's and we come in saying. not quite we've been through this and this isn't the way. to. fix the problem. 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 of counterpart x. joins us plus the latest in cyprus with the latest on cyber security with todd shipley the c.e.o. of vera 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've popstars 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 heart.
