any coincidences here add coverage by r t to that list throw in russia and things get heated i'm simply shocked shocked shocked that r.t. has also been pushing a story line that's similar to tucker carlson's about threats facing white south african farmers including this family they claim sought refuge in russia. thanks for pointing out i didn't know that threats to south african farmers was a major story on r.t. there must surely be a link here a fox news report trumps twitter feed or t.v. there's a clear pattern if of course we ignore the fact this shuttle has covered related issues in south africa for quite some time the south african parliament has voted in favor of new legislation that could see land from white farmers seized. so africa's government has vowed to tackle violent crime a problem that is theirs poses an equal threat for all races living in the country . just outside south africa's capital stands the statue of the man who was behind

the earthly policies of apartheid it's a whites only enclave which allows black visitors only under special permit. the discrimination of the apartheid in south africa has long come turn and all the evidence is obvious trumps been talking to the russians again and are to you collude with fox or what to cover when the how it all adds up this u.s. of illustration just loves putin and next five you see reported russian media that's also covered by other media that's also been tweeted by trump ulo what's really going on. french property owners using the online renting service air b.n. b. are facing legal action for refusing possible holiday tenants based on their ethnicity french journalist marilyn me hired you who's of north african descent claims that when he tried to book an apartment in march say his reservation was canceled

without explanation but when he got a friend who he described as having a good french name to try and book the same property he was told it was available for hire after posting his story online he says hundreds came forward saying they've been treated the same by other landlords air b.n. b. responded saying it sorry for what happened and underlined that it doesn't tolerate any. a form of discrimination we discussed the incident with a french lawyer and a paris based political commentator i think there's a problem with part of the foreign 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 be people coming from north africa 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 the roots of this people but this has nothing to do this has nothing to do to explain the behavior again i'm not saying the end tire north african community each there are a lot of this is a suggestion that i work with interests 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 from the north african community who are ashamed of what other people in their community doing 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 weeds people who have been committing crimes who have been terror who are terrorists who are advocating death to france or that they hate tracks and every time to read this unfortunately again i'm the first to say unfortunately unfortunately 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 little this is. what we have to remind you of in the states which is. no. washington has hinted it could hit turkey with sanctions over its decision to buy a russian made air defense system the u.s. has also warned against other nato allies having 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 it is that it is not in iraq robel with other nato systems and so we are against the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially

purchase us four hundred sixty trigger 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 s. four hundred missile system is capable of hitting 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 and the first systems will be delivered next year has been looking to bolster its air defenses since the u.s. withdrew its patriot missiles from the syrian border region back in two thousand and fifteen now russia has long time military trade partners from all over the world as the head of state arms exporter explains this should be just 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 it we have gained a firm food hold in the markets of our contras the result of the ship with india and china. and the collective security drill to organization also work with the

military industries on more denies and forces. and it's not only turkey going against the grain when it comes to the defense trade in america the outspoken president of the philippines has dismissed an offer to buy u.s. made f. sixteen fighter jets saying buying them would be utterly useless. we do not need sixteen it would be useless to you but they need to look for some small things what a bunch. of roderic go to terror tape made the offer signed by washington's top brass public during a military ceremony the president then highlighted that the letter from the u.s. defense and state secretaries came after officials in washington had made a humiliating comment about his country's crackdown on drugs security analyst charles shoebridge thinks the u.s. is pushing arms sales or political leverage point we thought from the operational military perspective of sixteen's are not much use in the immediate threats that he

perceives the philippines faces and he perceives with good reason but there is i think more today what we're talking about here is trying to use this as a means of leverage to control the fallen policies of other countries and that's exactly what the philippine president regardless of whether one likes him or not always policies that he has correctly identified that america uses this to pressure its allies into staying as allies after all that's the philippines president objected to basically said don't forget this is about more than capability it's also about a relationship you buy american weapons you're investing in a relationship. in the u.s. state of louisiana for anti pipeline activists and journalists have been arrested and charged under a controversial new law there are many activists say they're now facing increased police repression and could ing the use of tasers let's take a look at the pipeline at the center of the story.

the new law took effect on august first unless pipelines as critical infrastructure

which makes trespassing on the ground they're being built illegal those disobey risqué have to fine are as long as five years behind bars activists say that a number of off duty police officers were also working for a private security firm to protect the construction site but they're no longer working in that capacity activist ted hall believes the new law goes against america's core principles really think it is the right word as deputy as well as the desperation because companies disclose these legislatures. trying to hide how pathetically an american this kind of a law is this privatization of unconstitutional actions that have not been held up in the supreme court 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 ted hall the activists you just heard from also took part in the dakota pipeline protest that project faced opposition over fears that drinking water would be polluted and indian heritage sites destroyed. or are. on multiple occasions the the protests. turned violent with state law enforcers as well as the national guard and gauging and standoff with the activists officers who use force to disperse crowds and water cannon in freezing temperatures hundreds of people were injured some seriously but police defended their actions saying the activists were trespassing and rioting the scribing them as very aggressive here's ted hall again with his take on that. i believe that any kind of perceived by influence if that would ever occur we need to be under incredible scrutiny because it's doubtful that sees the advocates for

farmers rights advocates for it landowner rights advocates for safety and the climate future are going to resort to that kind of to set it in a civilized approach. a former nurse who's lived in britain since she was a baby is facing deportation sharon vitale's who was originally born in the caribbean and whose father served in the air force is one of hundreds caught up in the so-called when russia scandal a government policy which wrongly targeted commonwealth citizens immigration status sharon's been telling her story to r.t. i had to stop walk in i lost my job i was a registered nurse i went into financial difficulties i lost my dad in twenty twelve my brother to suicide. and it ups the monies from patients and. i ended up in prison yet in a prison sentence everything just accumulated is it was just like

a knock on effect people are dying people have literally died people have committed suicide because of this it's been a tough road to sharon. who's facing deportation despite having lived to 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 r.a.f. 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 into our live for us. that's a punishment has siblings who are born in the u.k. have never faced problems with their status but 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 wasn't 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 on british soil if they. want a home office and inaccurate legislation summary of legislation so he's telling the queen's document is wrong one of the girls said well i'm not nationality trained i

said so well where you dealing with me but you give me a british but at the gates 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 this is him but. who is it happening to is a minority group so it has a met my knowledge a group then i put it on to. a rift in scotland largest political party is emerging as the country's former first minister is being investigated over accusations of sexual misconduct is accused of two cases of

sexual harassment and the current first minister nicola sturgeon a close ally of salmon said the situation is incredibly difficult for her. for my party this will be extremely upsetting to members of the s.n.p. up and down the country it's a difficult situation but what is important is that completely our treaties seriously regardless of who the person complained about is i can confirm the scottish government received two complaints in january in relation to alex salmond mr sam and was notified of the complaints in march i'm forms to sam and the people involved on wednesday august twenty second of my conclusions and that i was considering the public interest in making the fact of the complaints and the investigation publicly known meanwhile scotland's police have refused to confirm whether an investigation has been opened the allegations of sexual harassment date back to two thousand and thirteen are examined denies any claims of misconduct and

says he is taking legal action against the scottish government we spoke to him about the allegations he's facing. i think few to the complaints that were made against me and i have sued deny daily semblance of criminality. so when you have such things you need a process which is both confidential unfair and most reasonable people will understand and what i am not frightened of going to the highest court in the land to establish that it seems the scottish government looks a bit shaky in their position these investigations depend on could vent today that confidentiality if you don't have that then how and there are people going to have the confidence to complete in future because not just about the past and complained of the confidentiality of the complainants and the scottish government would break the lack of the then jollity so we told them to not make that statement because we were taking the action in the court session but then of course somewhere from when the bowls of the scottish government

a tabloid newspaper was briefed so the story got out there for we revealed of a legal action and events have taken of course but it's an extraordinary situation when the scottish government starts to break its own confidentiality after the shooting everybody connected with this that that was going to be absolutely protected for the process that's a global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our website aren't you dot com for the latest on all those stories and much mark.

survival. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates. 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 arising 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 algae it seems our good friends at 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 fire fighters 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 brian about the issue fire chief anthony bowden claims verizon representatives confirm the throttling but rather than restoring us to in the essential data transfer speed they indicated that county fire would have to switch to a new data plan at more than twice the cost she boden points out that 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 i'm going to do would net neutrality and everything to do with customer service telling ars technica of the quote in this situation we should have lifted the speed restriction on 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. but you get the. real deal with. the bottom.

like you know that i got. the. role of the watching the hawks i am so i robot and on top. i mean we know this is coming oh yeah i it's funny to me because like you know when 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 that yeah big we're this is why everybody was worried because this is what happened and you know it'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 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 or when the fire department called horizon sort of corporate work over as the basically we're like look how do we get this good this very important machine basically the was allowing them to then eunuch a with all the other firefighters coordinate response and all that suddenly it slowed down next to nothing they called rising so the hey what do we need to do of resins. well you need to upgrade your plan your unlimited plan you need to upgrade a limited plan to a different unlimited plan from thirty seven ninety nine to ninety nine ninety nine with the first twenty gigabytes that's covered but every other gigabyte after about eight dollars a gigabyte that is not unlimited exactly that's not unlimited i mean i've had my

own problems ferguson over the years but i mean basics that's literally 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. to work fast it does to 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 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 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 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. 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 reported twenty tons of the less than two per cent 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 lynn elie 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 face the b.c. will work with on island digital teams that have created local accounts which will disseminate branded and naan bread content native pages and crease the chances of appearing on cuban facebook users news feeds when asked for clarification nazareth karun spokesperson for the broadcasting board 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 nefarious not like russian. 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 us taxpayers are paying millions a month to send broadcast propaganda and to cuba that barely any cubans are even listening to wow 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 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. not to link 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 win 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. yeah sorry you took away

all floated you know. on the hill footing when you were 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 a d.v.d. is of their content i can't believe it and as we're saying 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 and lead tomato country or something you know to be able to go 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 maybe there's like cyber cuba the r.t.o. de cuba are all critical of the government but available via internet on the i.
