everything else that comes along with money. the u.s. security chief calls on saudi arabia to release details of the investigation into a dissident journalist disappearance in turkey. also ahead on the program this hour facebook is investigating which left millions of users days of a day after launching a content. hundreds. is clearly a political move when you have these major tech companies appointing themselves as the gatekeepers of political thought we've been experiencing censorship throwing. everything you need a big band band back to back thirty days time. on germany's biggest state heads to the polls on sunday with the right wing e.f.t.

party predicted to get its first since their party members say but bernie and leaders are public king and their agenda is very well known among the journalists and also among the. kind of copying all of broadcom. live from moscow to the world this is r.t. international good to have you with us i mean and o'neill the top story the u.s. is finding itself charting a tricky course over the disappearance of a dissident saudi journalist in turkey while president trump speaks about protecting america's multi-billion dollar business with the saudis the u.s. national security adviser is cautiously pushing for riyadh to swiftly come up without sort. i think the saudis themselves are being damaged because we don't have

the facts out there's obviously been historical animosity between turkey and saudi arabia we have our own difficulties with turkey at the moment jamal khashoggi was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul of october the second no one has heard from him since turkey has not officially accuse riyadh of being involved but multiple reports claim its intelligence services that not only was kidnapped but also killed saudi arabia vehemently denies any involvement meanwhile there are several reports emerging that the u.s. reportedly knew of the laid plans to capture news outlets are claiming the saudi crown prince ordered an operation to lure detain correspondent jack to get the skew us presidents from swooning over the saudi royal family.

has a way of launching into truth tantrums unloading unspoken realities about international relations for example this is his take on the u.s. invasion of iraq old expression to the victor belong the spoils you remember you always used to say keep the oil if we kept the u.n. you probably wouldn't have isis because that's where they made their money in the first place so we should keep the oil but ok trump recently acknowledged that south korea is not completely sovereign in its actions like one south korea mulled over the possibility of easing relations with the north well they won't do it without her approve. they do nothing without her approval so to be clear donald trump is not changing u.s. foreign policy he loves the saudis he loves bossing. south korea around and he is

not talking about cutting the huge military budget however he's getting rid of a lot of the smoke and mirrors and telling things as they actually are caleb mop and r.t. new york. well american rapper kanye west isn't someone who shies away from publicly saying what he thinks and he stayed true to form when he got to meets his president in the oval office. time he's been a friend of mine for a long time it was some of the time it is how it made me feel like superman made of superman our favorite superhero oh this guy right here let me get this guy. out of this guy right here. ok i'm doing this for everybody who's watching us return the volume down if you can put it back up again that one if you think you're going to miss that it was as well

as when you grow don't read and then we have this now and kanye west is hardly a political philosopher and i've always believed that entertainers should first entertain and keep their politics separate from their art. i know before the white house did you also then smoke it up a little bit in the bathroom when you were there i was trying to do it so you have to say i hate c.d.'s so. whenever you go to somebody's house you have to give them something will come empty handed or so. green that states want your first wife but

i mean. really so you guys were. in the white house press secretary has been caught in the crossfire. sarah. sunders tweeted a photo of her posing with the rapper while he was wearing that trumped up mc america great again but because she posted this on her official twitter a current government ethics watchdogs say she's full and follow the law banning presidential stuff from using official resources for political activity. facebook is finally revealing some details of the hook in september which compromised millions of its users the social media giant ses it's working closely with the f.b.i. to find those behind it the attackers already controlled

a set of accounts which were connected to facebook friends they used an automated technique to move from account to account so they could steal the axis tokens of those friends and for friends of those friends and so on totaling about four hundred thousand people originally fifty million users were estimated to have been affected but today that number was reduced to about thirty million now the hacker started with a group of about four hundred thousand people and then use of those accounts to expand it to about thirty million people so one can imagine how alarmed users must be after in trusting their private information to facebook now the hacking resulted in fifteen million users having their names and contact details disclosed and dish and fourteen million had all their personal info disclosed but this isn't the first time this has happened to facebook of course earlier this year millions of users were hacked by cambridge analytic a tech firm it's worth noting that the f.b.i.

who is investigating the incident asked facebook not to discuss who could possibly be behind the attacks so it'll be interesting to see who they find responsible hopefully not the usual suspect legal and media analyst loyal ses facebook should concentrate more on its security the policing can't. their main suspect their negligence the fact that they're paying attention far too much to what somebody is saying then to the internal security of their system they're to blame they're the ones here me to tell me that in the year almost twenty nineteen they have not figured out how to protect names yet this also screams out for the internet bill of rights all over the world you see that's what facebook should be paying attention to but instead oh oh no no it's worried about shutting down. and

pages that nobody would have even known about had they not done this americans and the world are saying what are you going to do about it why don't you care as much about our personal safety our data our information as you do and our opinions which you may not agree with that's the issue. well the news of the hocking investigation comes a day after a shutdown and hundreds of pages and a coincidence accuses of being misleading we spoke to some of those affected by facebook's latest purge they say the tech giant is policing people who speak are against the status quo. this is clearly a political move when you have these major tech companies appointing themselves as the gatekeepers of political thought i was told that this was because of spamming that we are mass collectively pushing our information on people or that it was operated from a fake account all of these things are on true the information that i've used to

post on facebook was information that i produced on my website which goes against the government it goes against the status quo we've been experiencing self-censorship throttling. everything you needed and i've been banned back to back thirty days damn small times so facebook is slowly but surely going trying to push us out. our. ideology the information that we're putting out there even though it's based in peace and liberty they're trying to eradicate it from their platform it threatens the status quo this is nothing more than fake news on facebook misleading statements under the guise of trying to actually clean up their platform quote by removing spammers this is nothing more than political censorship and trying to eradicate certain political ideologies. ok to another story we're closely following this weekend voters in germany's biggest regional let their next government on sunday the right wing al turn to for germany party is expected to

enter both areas parliament for the first time according to polls looking at how the political landscape currently lives here on the society. time is ticking away in the key german states of the various states election campaigns come to a close and even the polls say it's time for us to start changing the system party to end a miracle c.d.u. c.s.u. looks set to lose the dominance of tells him the variance of the second world war even taste and tradition is apparently losing its appeal. now the c.s. use launched major rallies in a desperate and final attempt to attract voters as though to swing that angela merkel's compassionate micra style is expected as the various take in the second highest number of asylum seekers house of sixteen regions in the country at the

the e.u. is a relevant transparencies also an issue for citizens according to the research as well as for straight up leaders for not focusing on the issues people really care about that's not quite how the power brokers in brussels see it though the e.u.'s foreign policy chief said recently that the world what didn't survive without the twenty eight state union. close your eyes and imagine for one moment the european union disappears from the global scene right now let us say for a month or week even for a few days the world will simply collapse the world is not in a good shape through much without the european union into a been a much more city asian. brussels based journalist rivera aide told us why he thinks there's such a noticeable divide between the e.u.'s leadership and its citizens. the last story of europeans with europe it's coming to an end that people still feel europeans

find but it's second rate is not very important and they don't realize that all directives all their own legislation in their own country comes from brussels through the direct is produced by the european commission and approved by the european parliament so it is it is a strange situation into which europe is very important for european citizens but they don't perceive it you know and they date they prefer their national identity they keep their nationality day now want the borders back because they see that european borders don't function after four years of problems so that's the situation now and mrs morgan he can say whatever she she wants to say but she's not a hero for the europeans. you know the strongest storm to hit the united states in decades has swept through swathes of the scythe east of the country laying waste to some parts of florida hurricane michael has seen several areas cut off by flooding and intense rain the marines have also been drafted in to rescue people who've

eighty five percent of global wealth to the rich with six percent market saw thirty percent 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 but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one and showed him afford to miss the one and only. accept someone for who they are not what you want them to be this is the advice a therapist might give to a couple in a relationship crisis hit apply this wisdom to geopolitics and you'll see the trying to change the weakness of the other islam the old one can geopolitical act ideology aside and learn to fully accept each other.

this is a report i really miss madonna. just a child of the eighty's. so. yes she was big in the whole new york scene when you were. like post-punk and we were entering into the morbid disco era i mean she did keep standards pretty high you know along with donna summer in case you never told you before he was a good dancer and around that time i know cindy lauper was a performer. i was a performer there i did some go go dancing on the bar. and i still have great legs you know i never come to bed like this in palm springs is predominately women check

out my legs i feel their stares because they're thinking in their heads i wish i had legs like that you know and it's been said here here on international financial news and that's kind of in the headlines not you in particular but the financial media in general and we're still here springs conference in palm springs the best crypto conference in the world and it's now official it's not just me that many people say that finance the media and a catastrophic breakdown in trust so this is the last article that john authors wrote for the financial times where he's gone and i think he said in another publication now he talked about. what it was like to be at the financial times in the during the financial crisis so. there was big backlash to it this is response to the backlash because in his original article where he revealed actually what happened and he was talking about the fact that he had a couple hundred thousand dollars in the bank when lehman brothers collapsed and he

had all that cash because he had just sold his house in london and sold his property and he had a lot of cat. deposited in his bank account so that he as a financial journalist was very concerned because he was hearing a lot of the actual stories of what was going on but he waited ten years to tell this story when during the financial crisis he did not tell the story so he told the story of going to a local citibank in new york city where his his funds were deposited and they had across the street a chase bank and he was going to transfer one hundred thousand to the chase bank because just to have another because member at that time the deposit insurance was one hundred thousand dollars so you wrote we were in midtown manhattan surrounded by investment banking offices at citi i found a long queue all well dressed wall streeters they were doing the same as me. pulling his cash next door.
