7:03 pm
i don't. critique you. this it's. right near the city of the city that i see so you see. the problem with so much testimony so many witness accounts is that it gets more and more difficult emotionally draining to listen to them hear friends describe how they witnessed their classmates died this is a beautiful. visual. most. of the should be in the. video. that they gave. us if you will come as a was benoit. diggy nature in their opening was just in that you know it you're right about that it was which i'm going to sit down just a little on the trio system but you know which gets me which got the easy chests

7:09 pm
our president put him spoke about the tragedy out of the closing session of the valdai discussion club of some national security 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
7:10 pm
are not reacting in the right way to changing conditions it means that we're not creating useful needed and interesting content for children and they grab this so regrets heroisms and this results in such tragedies. are. reports now on the other topics portent of japan during the session their conversation covered all sorts of 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 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
7:11 pm
a bloodbath they're killing civilians and with all the scaremongering russia release portrayed now is the biggest and baddest wolf. ever could be for example like with all the meddling and everything and of course the biggest concern here is was russia's nuclear potential so for all those who portrayed russia as an aggressor vladimir putin had a response which 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
7:12 pm
in other countries affairs and glamor putin was asked how he feels about that whether he feels he's weighed 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 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 saudi journalist jamal khashoggi he disappeared
7:13 pm
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 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 compound poisoning case when there was no evidence shown of russia's involvement in it but action ensued anyway still to come in the program we'll look into twitter's claims about alleged russian trolls. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or
7:14 pm
rejected. so when you want to be president. or something want. to go right to the press this is what the three of the four people. interested always in the water. over the loans decades russia's foreign policy has been deeply related to the united states approach at the war when the american political reality became stranger than fiction mosco ones the bilateral relations to give thanks to normalcy what exactly should it do.
7:15 pm
for welcome back this is an international twitter has released a vast number of tweets and supposedly showing a russian meddling in the twenty six thousand u.s. election voter has the story for us remember those big bad russian trolls you've heard about for what feels like years now who are alleged to have up ended the us presidential election the so-called troll factory a secretive technology firm that created and distributed both fake news and divisive stories in 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 we're not conclusions have. already been drawn by the digital forensic research lab twitter gave the group early access to the database
7:16 pm
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 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 right 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 were washed away in the final hours of twitter according to the group's analysis the apparently ineffective russian operation had multiple goals including to
7:17 pm
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 more on hinge by the days more people are finally realizing that maybe having a treasonous man six your pretty it's a white supremacist in the white house maybe isn't such a good thing if you think the real 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 stances they spread some content that was. notably anti russian which highlights a key assessment of disinform ation if successful in driving
7:18 pm
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 the output of the internet research agency in st 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 complete mixed bag of course you could say what are they doing it at all why 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 they all mind this
7:19 pm
information war will soldier on be aware. remarks by the outgoing u.s. ambassador to the u.n. during a meeting of the conservatives have been leak nikki haley claimed she was initially offered the post of secretary of state by president trump attorney down as she didn't feel qualified and she felt much the same about her position at the un. i thought the job should go to someone who didn't have the same learning curve i thought drowned honestly i don't even know what the un does nikki haley is due to quit her role as on void to the un in january we heard from journalist max 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 foreign policy experience limited to having lunch at the international
7:20 pm
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. 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
7:21 pm
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 and she said the obama administration can't even hold a candle to us on russia and this earned her lots of applause. the senior official in the german defense ministry has been criticized for paying tribute to the nazi general evan rommel and rommel played a leading role in the invasion of france and the north africa campaign in one thousand nine hundred four he was involved in a plot to assassinate hitler he 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
7:22 pm
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 b. in the last six months he got a distance and i think we should approach that kind of distance today that some people let leave the right. and le pen and all that right people and the nazis too and come to the proctors if discourse peter tom tweet who was condemned by the leading left wing politician petra pyle who described rommel as a war criminal her green party colleague echoed that view saying rommel's crimes in italy should never be forgotten in an interview tarbert defended his tweet saying the nazi general repeatedly disregarded criminal orders and heroically plotted
7:23 pm
against hitler left party member them again thinks such ideas would not prove 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 sign that on the same weekend thousands and thousands also demonstrating on brokers of targets the left lost some people 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 rich should. have learned again to speak in their language and to think with their sorrows. the mayor of the italian city of lodhi has
7:24 pm
ordered all migrant families to provide documents on their financial status including property they own in their home countries failure to comply could result in the loss of social benefits. yes this we are in the same room but we have to say in the back corner. if there are people who have money how's this or land in their home countries why should we give them services for free while italians before everything enough the gravy train is finished this is not racism it's justice and good sense. lets you notice what i don't have answers for my son what should i say we as foreigners have to produce these documents.

yet one of my classmates said she wants to change he said which with us you are. going to build the very best if misunderstood it should be forbidden to impede aincha gratian of kids with others it's a pity for a town children who've lost the opportunity to interact with other cultures so little really similar quick look i completely agree with the mass decision because all those foreigners have from what is in the countries of origin. because of this and that for the mayor's measure is unfair because they might have property abroad doesn't mean they're rich here. a. lot of kenya tunisians moroccans another issue could easily give the papers to the consul's nevertheless kids still have to be respected more than a dollar to. a
7:26 pm
very large majority of migrants actually aren't migrants so they do not fall. for refugee status and in that case you know most of these children as a result of that come from families who have taken a risk and who have put their families at risk and their children at risk just to take advantage of the system that is really there has been put in place by italian families over generations so it's not about excluding them but asking them to pay it to to follow the same laws that apply to italian families it's nothing else than that so if anything it's about equality not discrimination. these are two international.
