6:09 pm
president putin spoke about the tragedy at the closing session of the valdai discussion club. of some national socialist yesterday's tragedies the result of globalization it may sound strange but we see that numerous communities have been created on social networks and the internet it all began from known tragic events in american schools mentally unstable young people have created some fake heroes for themselves it means that all of us not only in russia all over the world are not reacting in the right way to changing conditions it means that we are not creating useful needed and interesting content for children and they grab this sora
6:10 pm
gets heroisms and this results in such tragedies. are these you can start off reports now on the other topics put in touched upon during that session conversation covered all sorts of a. international topics the obvious one is syria the russian president has said that he's happy with what russia cheve did in that country saying that the primary goal of course was to stop the terror threat way before it reaches the home soil he also thanked turkey for helping russia broker peace to help avoid anything any any bloodshed in the syrian province of idlib the last stronghold that anti assad's forces have in the country and well in fact just a couple of months ago politicians and journalists they were screaming bloody murder really warning that russia is about to decimate the place to carry out a bloodbath they're killing civilians and with all the scaremongering russia release portrayed now as the biggest and baddest wolf. ever could be for example
6:11 pm
like with all the meddling and everything and of course the biggest concern here is russia's nuclear potential so for all those who portrayed russia as an aggressive lattimer putin had a response and says there is no preemptive strike in a nuclear strike strategy only a counter strike we already we will use nuclear weapons only when we are sure that the aggressor is attacking russia. well russia is big and scary not only because of its weapons it will also hack your computers brainwash your nation and probably steal those pictures you have in that secret folder on your phone to basically of course that refers to all these stereo about russia hacking elections and meddling in other countries affairs and glamor putin was asked how he feels about that whether he feel he sees wade by that in any way here's what he had to say it should be used you know there's an old joke the question is how do you relax the answer is
6:12 pm
i just don't get nervous the thing for tensions in international relations we don't create problems for anyone we'll the ones being accused with the phrase highly likely they say we meddle here we meddle there and no one is ready to show any evidence for me it is just the result of political struggle in the west. by the way of lattimer putin also mentioned in this context will probably because it is viewed as russia's main meddling tools so to speak he said that he'd love to meet the newest channel in the r.t. family that being r.t. france given his if he's invited of course now also gave his opinion on the situation around the opposition's saudi journalist jamal khashoggi he disappeared a couple of weeks ago and is believed to be murdered on the orders of saudi arabia state level of a putin said that russia is not going to do anything about its relations deal with the kingdom in fact he said that the moscow is going to maintain
6:13 pm
a good relation unless it is proven that saudi arabia indeed had something to do with the order of the killing basically vladimir putin saying that it is wrong to take down the road that many western countries took when it came to this kampala poisoning case when there was no evidence shown of russia's involvement in it but action ensued anyway so some of the program we look into twitter's latest claims about alleged russian trolls.
6:15 pm
u.s. election has a story. remember those big bad russian trolls you've heard about for what feels like years now who are alleged to have up and that the u.s. presidential election the so-called troll factory a secretive technology firm that created and distributed both fake news and divisive stories and posts these were accounts that really looked like american citizens well in a bid for transparency twitter has published some nine million tweets from thousands of accounts they believe were run by stud trolls and if you like us find the data more than a bit difficult to interpret were not conclusions have already been drawn by the digital forensic research lab twitter gave the group early access to the database and they put out a four part report where they outlined the major takeaways and some may surprise you for example the russian internet research agency's main target was apparently in fact russian speakers a chart breaking down what language tweets were written and shows that for years
6:16 pm
those in russian vastly outweighed those an english rather interesting given how influential the fake accounts activity was meant to be among american voters there is no doubt the russians are trying to influence the presidential election russia's blatant interference in the united states twenty sixteen presidential elections the fact is russia meddled in our twenty sixteen elections but speaking of influence the positive conclusion of this is that the trolls were less effective than may have been feared many achieve little or no impact and their operations will be washed away in the final hours of twitter according to the group's analysis the apparently ineffective russian operation had multiple goals including to prevent hillary clinton from winning the election that's something we've heard time and again and it's true that a good number of the tweets are anti hillary but those post didn't gain much traction whereas trump accounts such as these did the plus side to trump becoming
6:17 pm
more on the hinge but the people are finally realizing the. maybe having a treasonous madman secure predator white supremacist in the white house maybe isn't such a good thing if you think that drill donald trump is the worst president america ever had he's not worthy to be called a human being according to the report such liberal accounts engage other users and much higher numbers meaning the trolls were much more successful at getting people to bash trump the man they were meant to be getting to the white house and the trolls were also found to have push anti russian stance with they spread some content that was notably anti russian which highlights a key assessment of dissin from asian if successful in driving a country further apart rather than closer together internally that country would be less able to enact anti russian policy those gift tweeting trolls are clearly so smart they even outsmarted themselves like so much of this output of the internet
6:18 pm
research agency petersburg it had nothing to do with the election two thirds of them came out after the election some supported some against him some for clinton though some against it and some of the russian language as well so it's a completely mixed bag of course you could say what are they doing it at all whatever they doing it and so you could say a lot of it is to do it with a kidnapping i mean it's not you know with twitter is different but basically like so many of these posts on social media it's all about advertising it's all about raising profile so it's in my view a lot of this is making a mountain out of a molehill in the end the report warns that despite twitter's best effort and the fact that the troll farms goals went woefully unfulfilled the all mind this information war will soldier on be aware. remarks by the outgoing u.s. ambassador to the u.n. during a meeting of conservatives have been leaked nikki haley claimed that she was initially offered the post of secretary of state by president trump but turned it down and she didn't feel qualified and she felt much the same about her position at the
6:19 pm
united nations. i thought the job should go to someone who didn't have the seam there noone cares i don't draw honestly i don't even know what the un does mccain he leads you to quit to roloson void to the un in january we heard from journalist months blumenthal who was at the closed door meeting where he was speaking. she revealed that her learning curve was too steep to be secretary of state something we all knew because she had just been governor of south carolina before and had a foreign policy experience limited to having lunch at the international house of pancakes maybe she was playing to the crowd but i think you know in a setting like that where she thinks that there is no media present doesn't know that there is a journalist there i think her comments should be taken very seriously and received as her most canned some of her most candid remarks to date.
6:20 pm
donald trump obviously was not basing his decision to ask nikki haley to be u.n. ambassador on her experience but more on her profile he wanted to diversify his cabinet have an up and coming female republican who was a minority she's of indian descent probably people within the pro israel lobby who are pushing trump's transition team to appoint her so that they could make sure that the u.s. would represent israel's interests at the u.n. and that's exactly what happened. nikki haley during the meeting with the council for national policy boasted of how tough the trumpet ministration was on russia she boasted that the trumpet ministration had expelled over one hundred diplomats that the trumpet ministration had imposed harsh sanctions that it wrecked russia's economy and she boasted of arms sales to the ukrainian military
6:21 pm
and she said the obama administration can't even hold a candle to us on russia and this earned her lots of applause. senior official in the german defense ministries being criticised for paying tribute to the nazi general erwin rommel rommel played a leading role in the invasion of france and the north africa campaign in only forty four he was involved in a plot to assassinate hitler and was forced to commit suicide a member of the left party in germany told us rommel should never be regarded as a hero he's not a hero because he had some military success in africa that's not the reason his character. was the character of a nazi and then the. in the last months he got a distance and i think we should promote that kind of distance today that some people let's leave the right. and
6:22 pm
all that right people and the mousies to and come to the brokers if discourse. be to tweet was condemned by the leading left wing politician patrick powell who described rommel as a war criminal the green party colleague echoed that saying rebels crimes in italy should never be forgotten in an interview tauber defended his tweet saying the nazi general repeatedly disregarded criminal orders and heroically plotted against. the party member did today and again thinks such ideas wouldn't be so popular if leftists found a better way to engage with the public. on the weekend there were over. two hundred thousand people demonstrating against rasmussen and i think it's a good site that on the same weekend thousands and thousands also demonstrating on. targets the left lost some people
6:23 pm
who were earning lower than two thousand or a month who are very poor who do not know what will happen tomorrow and i think we should. have learned again to speak in their language and to think with their sorrows. staying with us here on our team thomas of being right up to date at the top of the hour. over the last decade russia's foreign policy has been deeply related to the united states that approach it the wall when the american political reality became stranger than fiction mosco once the bilateral relations to get back to normalcy what exactly should it do.
6:24 pm
on your own pal. i'm not that i am now. no more i. am. in film pen there is a trade in young girls sold into an underground sex in the street sometimes by the people they trust the most. when lawmakers manufactured him sentenced him to public wealth. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent.
6:25 pm
we can all middle of the room signals. the real news is really the world. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to be cross dislike them before three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters of our age. or should. i have faith in this government official of president a lefty through the system i swear to god it's all right i'm too liberal the system designed for people like me. is bloodless.

6:27 pm
and was to welcome to the alex salmond shoe last week he questioned whether theresa may could negotiate turner merging breaks that plan passed the house of commons this week it seems she could even get it past her own cabinet the rock on which the plan is perished is the irish border unless she agrees a particular backstop guarantee for ireland the european union will not make a deal if she agrees one then she loses the support of the democratic unionist and much of the conservative party as a show demonstrated last week she's unlikely to find succor from any other benches in the commons. in this program we heard again from the voices of arland is it possible to navigate a way forward or will island once again post questions to which politicians find there is no answer but first your teacher mess just emails first from wendy the he says randomly just called my goldsworthy from scientists for you talking about the
6:28 pm
people thought he was great sign up to and support on march with us on the twenty fifth if you can and praise also from mike from eric who says great interview on the show clear concise and well answered measured and represented the brakes in position superbly unlike the mostly incoherent bricks interviews i've heard paul however is not displeased he says disgusting i mean site not vote again till they get what they want this shows clearly that only they are for their own best interests lining their pockets is their agenda and contrary and also says there already was a people's vote they voted leave. finally joe says excellent program with interesting discussions it was especially good to hear the position of the d.p. being stated now when i speak show top democratic unionist samuelson flung down the gauntlet to the prime minister in no uncertain terms some will some earlier forced
6:29 pm
or not a memorable phrase said the d.d.p. of some blood red lion is a bright so well the me i'm lying and we have spelt the site for the very start of this process is that the united kingdom as a whole voted to leave the on the united kingdom as a whole will leave the e.u. and if there are any attempts to leave northern ireland languishing in the stifling umbria of brussels then we will not be voting for any data which consists of an arrangement such as the prime minister i think dropped the ball the very start because she accepted that are there was a problem with the border and stead of kicking back and saying there isn't a problem there is need to be a problem we have to we can find ways of monitoring tree and across the border collecting taxes of that be connected and everything else but she doesn't and of course that's why we're not at the impossibly are and you look at many times the government has moved its negotiating position to accommodate the demands of europe
6:30 pm
out of some possible then to do a deal with someone when you show such weakness on them i think that the prime minister has at this stage and i got to consider. does she even tear back some of the compromises he's already offered to the e.u. and say ok what we're going to fight a fight that's nine and he'll get the sort of i mean not in march you will finish up paying the consequences the german carmakers will pay the consequences lances french winemakers will pay the consequences the irish economy will pay the consequences because it will lose its me in market in the g.d.p. and g.d.p. we're world for a fight fighting talk there from sammie we'll said. no by one single independent unionist all of northern ireland same piece sitting in the commons are democratic unionists this is because it has been a longstanding tradition of northern ireland second largest partition fain to abstain from sitting at westminster despite the election of seventy.
