vaishnav was counsel without explanation his friend who he says has a good french name later booked the same apartment on the exact same dates the haji say's it's a clear example of discrimination after the journalist wrote about his experience on twitter was quick to respond it expressed regrets over the incident and stressed its opposition to all forms of discrimination we were joined by political commentator nickel america bitch and french lawyer. who gave us their thoughts on the right of owners to choose their guests i think there's a problem with our form committee usa in the large sense today in france which has got a bad image and some people would rather not rent than rent to people who got this bad image and particularly within the north african community music giving some are jews who are racist people who don't want to see enough african post in their house and lot of people will the people coming from. crime to incivility

to terrorism and unfortunately these are some of the reasons why we speak a lot of the north african community today i don't agree with the thing that we can sum up the reality of people acting. or having delinquent behavior just by giving this people these have nothing to do this has nothing to do to explain the behavior again i'm not saying the end tired north african community each so a lot of this is a significant. interest and they're not skis that yasser i'm to i'm just telling you there is a problem which has to be settled i have no people of the north african community who are ashamed of what other people in their community you know and you can see this unfortunate on a daily basis imagine the french person who has no contacts with the north african community but who read the press on a daily basis and we read people who have been committing crimes who have been terror who are terrorists who are advocating death to france or that they hatreds

and every time to read this unfortunately again i'm the first to say unfortunately unfortunately they see that they're often associated with the name from north africa now if there are people who are considering that the route the original behavior the. sexual or at a show or the faith or the own faith is. a good purpose to discriminate they are wrong on their own not respecting the law this is what we have to remind in of in the states which is the state of low. heading across the atlantic now onto the u.s. state of louisiana where four pipeline activists and a journalist have been arrested on charges under a controversial new law here's the pipeline at the center of the tale.

well the new law took effect on the first of august and lists pipelines as critical infrastructure it explicitly prohibits trance passing on pipeline groans with those running afoul of it risking

a hefty fine or as many as five years behind bars activists a number of off duty state police officers were also working for a private security firm to protect the construction site they've since ended the line of employment activist edward whole believes the new law runs against america's core principles. let me think of the right word data city as well as the desperation because companies disclose these legislatures and try to hide how pathetically in america this kind of a law is privatization unconstitutional actions that have not been held up in the supreme court and clearly don't measure up to the law of the land the constitution this needs to be understood as something that should be contained it is so that it doesn't spread throughout the united states and so it does not spread throughout the rest of the world but edward hall they activists you just heard speaking took

part in the decoder pipeline protest that was against a route that runs on a lake on a soup indian reservation which was feared would damage drinking water supply. well we do know that on numerous occasions the protests there lops into violence with state more in forces as well as the national guard in gauging in violence with the activist officers the point pepper sprayed tear gas rubber bullets and water cannon out the crowd sometimes in freezing temperatures hundreds of people were injured some seriously at least offended the action saying the activists were trespassing and rioting describing them as very aggressive here's edward holes take on violence. i believe that it's any kind of perceived by and if that would ever occur we need to be under incredible scrutiny because it's doubtful that seasoned advocates for farmers rights advocates for landowner rights advocates who

are. seeing the climate future are going to resort to that kind of to set it in a civilized approach. join me again in ninety seconds time for more of friday afternoons global news. join me everything on me alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. delete your last essay the collapse gap when the soviet union collapsed because of the u.s. meddling in boris yeltsin and all that's going on they had this skyrocketing

alcoholism and so shoulder. here in the us because you have this enormous financial and reengineering to take all the money being printed and put in the pockets of a few folks and leave the vast majority in a state of zombification this is the collapse gap he was talking about the u.s. and the soviet union both collapse in the one thousand nine hundred ninety period it just took a stake in the u.s. as he describes it you know longer to realize that collapse. washington voiced concern over turkey's decision to buy a russian made defense system it's even hinted at the possibility of sanctions

against any of its nato allies with similar ideas. you know it goes against our policy to have a nato allies such as turkey use an asse four hundred system part of the problem with that is that it is not in iraq for a while with other nato systems and so we are against the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially purchase s four hundred seventy two of your cats is not going to get into that but we have made very clear what could trigger sanctions for other countries and entities around the world the russian made has four hundred missile system is capable of having multiple high speed aerial targets within a range of four hundred kilometers the deal signed by turkey and russia last year is worth two point five billion dollars on the first systems will be delivered next year on korea has been looking to bolster its earth defenses since the u.s. withdrew its patriot missiles from the syrian border region back in twenty fifteen . where russia has long time partners in the arms trade from all across the globe

as the head of the state arms exporter explains this should lead us that i'm looking at the s four hundred as the most advanced missile defense system in the world countries are already lining up to purchase we have gained a firm food hold in the arms sales market to arab countries the result drugs a snowball in the ship with india and china our allies in the collective security drew to organization also work with military industries on more than izing the tool says it was former u.s. diplomat jim jones chris thinks washington is over and chris purchase of the s four hundred systems because it undermines u.s. attempts to damage moscow. the people behind these policies do not look at russia as a partner at all they look at it as an adversary and that their goal is essentially regime change in russia buying russian weapons is not because they are

a competitor for business they're bad because there is essentially a full scale political work there being carried on against the russian federation by the agencies of the american government i don't know that this is nationally what president truck wants but it certainly wanted would have state department of treasury and other organs of the government want and the purchase of russian weapons is bad because russia is bad i think that not only with regard to arms purchases but every other excuse we can think of we will find ways to put new sanctions on russia or countries and companies that deal with russia. another story we're closely following today a former nurse of karroubi in origin who was brought to the u.k. as a baby and whose father served in the royal air force is no facing deportation from the country she's called home for most of her life sharyn vitale's told her story to r.t. i had to stop i lost my job i wasn't interested in the us i went into financial

difficulties i lost my dad in twenty twelve my brother to suicide i ended up stealing money from patients and. my gambling habit i ended up in prison gets an offense and sentenced everything just accumulated is it was just like a knock on effect people who die people have literally died of stress people have committed suicide because of this it's been a tough road to sharon and fulminate chest nurse who's facing deportation despite having left him most of her life while waiting for an update on her status she was told she could no longer walk and was advised to seek charity help in order to feed kids if they can just allow me. to go to work at least i'm not allowed to claim benefits and the person said not you're not allowed to claim any benefits you have no status so i said to her home i suppose to feed my child he's twelve he didn't do anything wrong and she said well go online and seek charity the forty six year old

was born in germany while her father was deployed during his service in the area her family moved back to the u.k. months after her birth i mean our family has been connected to to england for years everyone was proud of him being a soldier saw because of my dad service i shouldn't work my children should starve and i should be pushed into destitution thats it. and i should be proud that he was serving the queen in do i live for us. that's a punishment his siblings who were born in the u.k. have never faced problems with their status as sharon has been told she is not british on the grounds that she was not born within the nation's boundaries sharon believes she has rights to citizenship because of her father's service there's a document called the queen's rules and regulations of the armed forces and this control is everything you do as an as an army personnel wherever in the world you are and it says in black and white any children children should not suffer from

their citizenship nationality problems anything were when they were born they should be treated as born under just soil if there was one the home office said that some inaccurate legislation summary of legislation so history in the queen's document is wrong one of the girls said well i'm not nationality trained i said somewhere where you dealing with me but you give me a british but at the cricket so you have me on your numbers that i was born in britain but then i'm not british the home office has previously said that there is no guarantee for children born abroad to non british citizens to claim british nationality even if their parents served in the armed forces sharon now has no choice but to wait for an appeal decision on october the fourth sharon is just one of dozens of descendants of the wind rush generation who have had their lives turned upside down by the government's hostile environment policy to clamp down on illegal immigrants i just think it's a racist thing i don't like to preach or misses him but. who is it happening to

is a minority groups or if it's a met my knowledge a group then i put it on to. some francisco the golden city known for its brave use. is apparently a warship in human waste the problem has gone so far the special crews have been launched the clean the police all. it's the worst you've seen and i will say that there is more there's more. on the sidewalks and i've ever seen you know growing up here that was something that did not wasn't the norm but the first one i've ever seen for sure. san francisco city where you needed three hundred fifty thousand dollars. and the

city has just announced to clean the streets of so many people to use a bathroom san francisco is going to send a patrol to pick. a six person crew that goes around the suited to cleanup how much would you have to make to do this job. nobody wants to step in feces i have children i don't want to do that either i don't like finding use needles but there are approaches in the city as we actually need some federal help in this case in my opinion. you're going to get your hands dirty if you can do with treeview. or i'd net neutrality facebook as a regime change tool in cuba on what workspaces will look like in the next decade

that's just some of what's ahead and watching the hawks on its next. when gold make this manufacture consent to stick to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round lifts only the one percent. nor middle of the room sick. to lose the real news. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would

prefer it be willing 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 is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no way that hasn't been that we hear even many of the dems 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 want to that's going to give them peace it'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. greetings and salutations the mendocino complex fire is the largest wildfire in

california is history but despite its biblical level of danger to those brave firefighters trying to contain it well that didn't stop telecommunications giant arise from seeing potential dollar signs amidst all the devastation. yes thanks to evidence recently submitted in the federal appeals court lawsuit seeking to reinstate the net net neutrality protections that were shredded by telecom puppet f.c.c. chairman algy pike it seems are good friends of verizon old bosses decided to throttle the data services of the santa clara fire department during their response to this record breaking fire you see despite santa clara paying for what it was told was an unlimited data plan the firefighters discovered just days into fighting the blaze that their data rates had been slowed down to just one two hundred ths of its usual speed and when the department contacted verizon about the issue by our cheap

anthony bowden claims verizon representatives confirmed the throttling but rather than restoring us to in the essential data transfer speed they indicated that county buyer would have to switch to a new data plan at more than twice the cost of bowden points out the data speed is vital in emergency situations saying that the internet has become an essential tool in providing fire emergency response particularly for events like large fires which require the rapid deployment and organization of thousands of personnel and hundreds of fire engines aircrafts and bulldozers now naturally horizon claims that none of this as anything to do with net neutrality and everything to do with customer service telling ars technica that quote in this situation we should have lifted the speed restriction when our customer reached out to us this was a customer support mistake. or is it really just the reality of

doing business with unregulated telecommunications giants who put profit over people's lives and let's start watching the hawks. would you. feel that it would be. as if the bottom. like you but i got. the. role of the watching the hawks i am i robot or fantastic. i mean we know this is coming oh yeah i know it's funny to me because i you know we think back it. delightful yes and his is whole internet video saying you can still watch videos you can still do this as if everyone you know over

a decade has been fighting for net neutrality because we're worried we won't get our netflix money stay right there yeah big we're this is why everybody was worried yeah this is this is what happened and you know what's funny about this when i was reading this story it reminded me of like almost every customer service interaction with that of these other tell occur because it has oh sorry you just don't have the right plan but if you pay more we can fix that i think but they do it to emergency responders in the middle of one of the greatest fire storms in modern times i mean look at it like you'll love this to the new plan of what's needed here so in order when the fire department called horizon sort of core part of our coverage of the basically we're like look how do we get this good this very important machine basically the was allowing them to you nick a with all the other firefighters coordinate response and all that. suddenly it slowed down next to nothing they called them so the hey what we need to do versions of well you need to upgrade your

plan your unlimited plan you need to upgrade the limited plan to a different unlimited plan from thirty seven ninety nine to ninety nine ninety nine with the first twenty big bites that's covered but every other gigabyte after about eight dollars a gigabyte because it's not unlimited exactly that's not unlimited i mean i've had my own problems with her husband over the years but i mean basics that's that early it's like it's not a bottomless cup of coffee if i only get three it's not unlimited data if there's a limit to the data but what i found most disturbing is that in a moment when you know that there are all of your things going on in california you can see that it's a fired army could explain they have this device that has this data plan needs to work. it works fast it does not just know for there not to be a policy in place to tell customer service that if

a community is fire department or police calls and says hey are internet we deal with that maybe don't worry about the limits it's it's amazing it really is it really is and they have lost all trust now oh sure yeah yeah and this is the thing with you know kind of putting. how this stuff affects really on the far end of things is not just about it but the fire chief said county fire believes it will likely it is likely that verizon will continue to use the exit nature of public service emergencies a catastrophic events to coerce public agencies into higher cost plans even if that means risking harm to public safety during negotiations and before twenty fourteen then f.c.c. chairman tom wheeler told arisan that he was deeply troubled by viruses plan to throttle four g. users with unlimited data plans telling the company that reasonable network management concerns the technical management of your not work it's not

a loophole designed to enhance your revenue stream so the idea was you have to figure that out on your own maybe you don't pocket so much money maybe invest a little in your infrastructure and then you can provide the product that you save yourself. means that there's not a port. the broadcasting board of governors calls itself a network a global media agency that is in fact the united states of america's government funded news agency with a twenty eighteen annual budget of six hundred eighty five million dollars and over twenty five million a year is allotted to the u.s. government funded international broadcaster t.v. and radio marti and that number is expected to double if their words with voice of america latin america as the board is planning establish in one thousand nine hundred three t.v. and radio marti were designed to fight against communism in cuba with the weapon of information so familiar but as the idea of a cold war propaganda seems less and less appealing radio marti has been much

criticized for its effectiveness a committee on foreign relations report twenty ten said the less than two percent of cubans listen in and now after years of failing through radio and television the miami based office of cuba broadcasting which oversees radio and t.v. marti described a new way to get their message across and it involves everything facebook and its users have been railing against since the two thousand and sixteen election here in the u.s. according to a new investigative report from jerry lim ellie at the miami new times the u.s. government in cooperation with the office of cuba broadcasting plans to use facebook to spread a hidden propaganda in cuba discovered in the broadcasting board of governors twenty eighteen congressional budget justification they will begin quote to encourage more engagement on facebook b.c. will work with on island digital teams that have created local accounts which will disseminate these branded and naan bread content native pages and create the chances of appearing on cuban facebook users news feeds when asked for

clarification nazareth karun spokesperson for the broadcast import of governors claimed she did not know what that meant what it meant by branded her own branded content even claiming that the project never got off the ground but commented to the miami new times reporter that quote it's nothing the fairy is not like russians . or anything like that so in january of this year the trumpet ministration created something called the cuba internet task force also sound familiar which is supposed to use government and non-government actors to promote the free and regulated flow of information to cuba however t.v. and radio marti have long been considered outdated cold war artifacts that do more to harm the perception of u.s. values abroad more than any tyrants so as facebook congress and the mainstream media clutch the pearls over a few hundred thousand and twitter facebook ads here in the u.s. taxpayers are paying millions a month to send broadcast propaganda and to cuba that barely any cubans are even

listening to while this is an incredible story and it's contemporary and it's happening right now and the fact they're going to relay hey we're going to create facebook site you know sides we're going to create profiles on facebook to spread propaganda country not nefarious i've never heard of or don't worry everyone is not nefarious it's just branded non-branded which means it will not say that it is from t.v. marti that is from the broadcasting board of governors that it's mostly that it's part of paid by the by the united states government. how is that any different. than what they are yelling and screaming and hollering and like you said there pearls over the over what the. blows on our john is and the goals of the book one best in radio broadcasting so it's small mean and not worthy

of a great power other countries say if the u.s. is willing to violate international law why should we have obey our treaty obligations i think that this is a long term negative effect and given what radio and t.v. marti might be doing right now it becomes hard for us to complain about what other countries might be doing to us yeah we've learned from watching. yeah sorry go away all floated you know. on the hill footing with you when you're doing it ourselves and according to the actual budget they are. the office of cuba broadcasting the average monthly number of cubans i'll me i'm when reach is approximately fifty thousand and that they reach they were really excited in saying that they reached a total number of seventy thousand subscribers from five hundred fifteen on you tube which is the current platform in cuba what i thought was amazing is things that when you find out things your taxpayer money goes to and you really are like i don't remember a voting for that apparently the office of cuban broadcasting distributes weight or

it d.v.d. is with t.v. and radio marti content on them and they have nine copies signers eighteen reception points and eighty five distribution points on in cuba just to give people d.v.d. is of their content but i can't believe it and as we're saying like it's on the budget has gone down slightly twenty seven was about twenty seven million in two thousand and sixteen twenty eight million and twenty seventeen and their requests last year was only twenty three million which is slightly down but the budget also suggests that they're talking about merging the voice of america's latin american spanish with them which means it could double or triple that budget now imagine of russia or china did something like this in light of nato country or something where we would be you know exploding all our group politicians be losing their minds on t.v. if that was going on right now it's all based on this idea that there is no independent

media that there is nothing that people in cuba have no access to anything that they have no idea how to get any information that isn't all pro cuban government problem that's not true because there's a many there's like cyber cuba the r.t.o. de cuba are all critical of the government but available via internet on the island in fact just this week the toilet. indications company people wrote a test of their upcoming three g. capabilities and while it was slow and only allowed people like seventy megabytes to use for one day they were able to download videos they were able to go through music and news and have the internet and download things from you tube which means they're getting there it's not an easy process but they're not trying to keep anybody out and most people on the island of learned a long time ago to use and things like that to counteract they know how to get around it and they don't like outsiders like we said with sanctions telling them how to feel about their own government and i think that's the biggest thing yes that is that's the most important are those we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of a top of.
