good of documentary. goes to war on r.t. . subscribe to roughly boston get all roughly content for just twelve euros fifty per month. a series of bomb threats against top political and media figures continues for a second day in the united states president media argue over blame for the state of disarray. a very big part of the anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and in accurate reporting of the mainstream media.

refuses to budge on its budget plan despite brussels demanding changes deputy prime minister luigi demaio says he knows why the e.u. isn't happening. this is the first the e.u. doesn't like no surprise this is the first italian budget written in rome and not in brussels and also sell facebook's fine for breaching privacy rules in the u.k. that's apple's boss claims internet giants. personal information. and a syrian opposition delegation will meet the russian foreign minister on friday the main focus of the talks will be the last remaining militant stronghold we hear from the red cross. i was completely overwhelmed by the scope of destruction these now absolutely critical to ensure that these people can really gain access to some basic services.

thanks for joining us live on our team to nationals. hawkins welcome to the program . i was total of nine suspicious packages have been found by police across the united states all of them addressed to major political and media figures along with cnn's new york h.q. among others new york describe the incidents which are connected at this stage as domestic terror donald trump meanwhile has come under fire with critics saying his use of rhetoric has fueled hate the president himself though blames the media early on my colleague andrew farmer spoke to r.t.c. caused a lot of bold trample he's known as probably the least presidential figure to be in office in a long time to hold the top job but reacting to what happened he tried to keep his cool in these times we have to unify we have to come together and send one very clear strong and mistake

a ball message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the united states of america. but that doesn't appear to have been the reaction well no unity one would argue is a rare state found in the united states of america right now and. it's less than two weeks before the midterm vote so that isn't helping at all basically both camps the conservatives and the democrats they have been trying to spin the whole situation in their own favor now donald trump he's already talked a lot about this he has tweeted blaming the media for spearheading the haid he said that they are hateful beyond description that was in a tweet but that was not the only thing that he had to say as part of a larger national average to bridge the divides and bring people together the media also has a responsibility just a civil tone and to stop the hostility and cards negative

and oftentimes false attacks and stories have to do. i'm not one who sees equal blame spread all around our president cannot escape special scrutiny he is at the head of the hate parade and way too often clearly reading prepared remarks at a rally he seemed to give. so trump in the red corner mainstream media in the blue corner so to speak and the c.n.n. by no means were the only ones ganging up on trump everybody jumped on him in fact not just him his daughter ivanka trump came under fire she was attacked for supporting her father for this call for unity trump did also get his fair share of hate because many many journalists and pundits have blamed him for you know cultivating of this culture of hatred now heading gasoline to these flames

unverified reports and images of one of the explosive devices found allegedly it showed a depiction of something that looked like an islamic state flag but instead of arabic letters there what it had that was a catchphrase of a very famous american comedian and here's the comedian it with his catchphrase this is like game again. and again it's unverified whether or not that catchphrase was on the but if it was it doesn't take a genius to do two and two and get that character this comedians playing on stage is pretty much the most stereotypical image of a trump voter so right now it looks like the democrats they have a it's a bit of a blessing for them in a bowl and twisted way that this thing happened especially when no one thankfully

know nobody was killed or even injured so they are trying to spin it in such a way that donald trump is to blame while donald trump and his camp. trying to spin it in a completely different way and one thing to know for certain is that as the drill close in this isn't going to change it's going to just get worse and i mean did legal analyst society united states has been polarized now for quite some time hillary clinton others talk about you know rancorous you know the tenor of just what it's all over the place. it's everywhere there is also on another wave if you will of rhetoric and that is various democratic leaders maxine waters in eric holder who are say you know go out there and when you say you had trump supporter in a restaurant and have at a gas station or or somewhere you get in their face when they go low we fight this

rhetoric granted not in the level of pipe bombs and white powder but this is what we've been talking about all over the place. meanwhile tensions are also on the rise in the u.s. over laws migrant caravan which is approaching the country's border with mexico with midterm elections looming it's becoming a highly politicized issue. i've been watching for weeks as the caravan came up not letting them in and not coming in and they're not coming and. everyone in this room is an immigrant you know who in the white house it's a little bit of a different picture he was talking about this caravan the caravan the caravan. there has been a sure illegal immigration recently caravan of immigrants was stopped by a group of flag waving protestors ministration official say they're working as efficiently and as effectively as possible the u.s.

government doesn't give them any necessity when they dropped off the bus station. that shows you the challenge the trouble ministration had it's dealing with the crisis they inherited from the obama administration who got a free pass from the media on causing this crisis what happened to the democratic party as one said bill clinton president obama understood that border security helps define a country you talk to other security and defense people some of them straight believe that this is a moral and humanitarian crisis we simply cannot allow people to for into the united states undetected undocumented this is what we just got from president obama he writes immigration can be a controversial topic my administration acted to lift the shadow of deportation from these young people and we are a better country then one that shares families apart we turned it into a great political football and people are still all kinds of political friends.

did president obama really deported more people than any other president in total president obama had deportees more than two point five million undocumented people by twenty fifteen. immigration becomes a political issue when there is obviously have. ultimately what were some ships going out and how to mr particular event being on both sides and i think when we get you know a dozen days away from. such a vital election not too surprising. and i think the question is how what damage in the kind of rhetoric from both the right you know last half hour we're not just little people but for the next time that. rome has ruled out changes to its twenty nineteen budget plan that's the spy the e.u. commission giving them three weeks to change it claiming revisions are needed in

the interests of italy don't call it breaks down the dispute brussels is sharpening its nice in preparation for a new battle with rome for the first time the e.u. has flat out rejected a member states budget demanding a resubmission for the first time as a commission is obliged to. a country that it was off the budget to the plan. but we seen nor alter not do. it all and to do so it is in the interest of. full. the e.u. claims that italy's debt situation is out of control and that salvias government needs to tighten its purse strings and fulfill its obligations the euro skeptics say it doesn't have anything to do with money since there are other states with bloated budgets that have never felt such a heavy hand from brussels this is the first italian budget the e.u.

doesn't like no surprise this is the first italian budget written in rome and not in brussels they are going to. determine economy is healthy and this is an economic move that will give italy to stability it needs we won't change one comma in this document to. be you know to go to. the. on. the future. that spain belgium portugal and slovenia have all been in violation of the e.u. agreements in the past and for years france has broken the three percent deficit threshold imposed on it by the e.u. as for debt it's been in the red since two thousand and two and only this year the second largest european economy received a carefully worded letter in response asking all very politely to reduce its debts . we thank you for sending the front twenty nineteen draft budget that we received

on october fifteenth we would like to ask you for more details the commission's preliminary assessment also indicates that the growth rate for france does not respect the refrains rates of debt reduction in twenty nineteen so italy refused to be taken to heel by this double standard. except the e.u. commissioner in charge of budgets didn't seem to find the stunt very funny even connecting the italian shushan and against to a potential quick path to fascism the episode of the made in italy shoe is

grotesque at first you smile and we trivialize it because it's ridiculous but then we start getting used to this kind of muted symbolic violence and one day we wake up with fascism stay alert democracy is a fragile treasure well the draft budget would have seen over five hundred million dollars worth of cuts to defense spending while putting more money towards social welfare and tax cuts not exactly a sound way to revive fascism and certainly not a good way to be a shoe in with the new donald quarter r.t. . facebook has been fined by the u.k.'s information commission over the cambridge analytical scandal the commission said the company had failed to protect user data this comes as apple's boss tim cook gave a damning speech at the european parliament claiming personal information has been weaponized by tech chars. every day billions of dollars change hands and

countless decisions are made on the basis of our likes and dislikes our friends and families our relationships and conversations our wishes and feel. our hopes and dreams these scraps of data each one harmless enough on its own are carefully assembled synthesised traded and sold our correspondent the necessary has more now on the turmoil surrounding the texture and. the i.o.c. here in the u.k. which is the independent data protection regulator have slapped facebook with a five hundred thousand pound fine for the role they played in the cambridge analytical scandal specifically failing to protect their users personal data when an app that was downloaded by just over three hundred thousand people ended up gathering information of eighty seven million people sharing some of that

information with cambridge analytic that was later said to have been used for targeted political advertising in the time during the u.s. presidential election and the i.c.a.o. said that as many as one million of those people were in the u.k. and the i.c.a.o. says that this information was allowed to be gathered without clear consent. between two thousand and seven and two thousand and fourteen process the person information of users. by allowing up location to access to the information without sufficient and informed consent and allowing access even if uses not downloaded the app but was simply friends with people who had well a facebook have said they're reviewing this latest find that was announced but should have done more at the time when we respectfully disagree with some of the findings we have said before that we should have done more to investigate claims

about cambridge generalists ago and taken action in two thousand and fifteen this amount of five hundred thousand pounds we have to be clear that it is the biggest possible fine given the existing regulation that was used that had to be used on this case despite the fact that there's new regulation now in place since may twenty eighth and that would have actually increased that number too much much larger amount which would have been seventeen million or a four percent of facebook's global. turnover which is obviously a very different number however critics are saying that still these these numbers are misc. given the fact that facebook's annual revenue just in twenty seventeen was forty point seven billion dollars we shouldn't sugar coat the consequences. this is surveillance. and these stockpiles of personal data serve only to enrich the companies that collect. this should make

us very uncomfortable it should and serve a loss. a quarter of all children in some of the poorest countries in the world are trapped in child labor that's according to unicef the cocoa industry becoming one of the fastest areas of concern. kneebone can do better than the. u.s. federal appeals court on tuesday reinstated a lawsuit against food producers nestlé and cargill a group of former child slaves from mali accuse the companies of supporting forced child labor by purchasing cocoa from ivory coast. the former child slaves so waited too long for justice in this case in some the allegations being a picture of overseas slave labor the defendants perpetuated from headquarters in the united states the plaintiffs said the company has provided financial and

technical support to why very coast farmers in order to guarantee the cheapest cocoa nestlé denies any wrongdoing. regrettably bringing such lawsuits the plaintiffs class action lawyers targeting the very organizations trying to fight forced labor force child labor isn't acceptable and has no place in our supply chain we have explicit policies against it and are working with other stakeholders to combat this global social problem in twenty seventeen nestlé published its first report on its progress in eliminating child labor and its supply chain detail the main areas the company had been focusing on human rights lawyer violet though believes consumer pressure is the best way to bring change. companies that can get away with forced labor or child labor will. will use it because they want to maximize their profit simples that i think

companies have found in code to the war the space to be able to use for child labor in so that's what so they're using that's why these lawsuits are important because it forces companies hopefully to amend their action i think in the case of a nationally for example i think consumer pressure boycotts can work absolutely they have in the past including against nestle itself which has been frankly a bad actor or in very different ways over the years. when trump takes to the telephone russia and china listen and learn that's according at least to a headline grabbing story by the new york times citing anonymous officials the article claims chinese and russian spying is apparently top donald trump's i phone which he still uses to chat to old friends they hope to obtain information to use against him but all those names in the story have mocked the allegations but in a question of explains well the new york times has published an article that has

been raising plenty of eyebrows the article says that the u.s. president aides have repeated warned the president of that his cell phone calls are not secure but that still donald trump refuses to give up his phone while of the u.s. president donald trump decided to comment on this article as he usually does using his twitter he wrote that the article was so incorrect and he also added that he uses only government phones well also add a daily briefing at the chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman said that the during the list of behind this particular article were trying to win an academy award. for best screenplay and she also added that there was another piece of evidence that the new york times is making fake news new you should bomb first or that the new york times should understand that by publishing this kind of reports it's creating

new made big news. for those who fear my phones are being hacked hallway mobile phones can. we let you do that here in moscow we decided to ask russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman. to also comment on this article and this is another example of our upsurge in skier and absolute world behind the looking in the newspapers didn't show any concrete sources during your fish or information and your talks about from talking to president of the united states the united states of america was brazenly tapping for example the german chancellor and this information was confirmed as you can see average in the mentioned in this article seems to disagree with it but what they do agree on is that it simply is not true. the border between bosnia and croatia has witnessed yet more violence

between moderates and police as hundreds attempted to cross into the. margarets to modeling to and to croatia could be seen getting aggressive with police who responded with tear gas and buttons to disperse crowds several people would have to get in the scuffles the way she has become one of europe's main entry points for migrants hoping to reach wealthy countries such as france and germany. i was reluctant to accept to you margaret quote it's created a stumbling block in talks to resolve the crisis. at least two people have been reportedly killed and one is missing as major flooding affects the south of russia. the region's been swamped since wednesday hundreds of people have been evacuated from the area roads bridges and buildings are said to have been swept away around nine villages have also been left without power local transportation in

the region has also been suspended forecasters are predicting more heavy rain is likely to hit the area and even cause landslides. our delegation of syrian opposition forces is set to meet the russian foreign minister on in moscow on friday the situation in syria is thought to be top of the agenda the launch of a so-called constitution committee for syria is also on the books it's seen as a key step towards finding a political solution to the crisis after seven years of war it is now the only remaining militant stronghold in the country there are an estimated thirty thousand fighters there actually adding ten thousand almost for terrorists that's according to the u.n. a deadline for militants to put out of a buffer zone that was imposed hundred deescalation deal between russia and turkey was recently extended there's about three million civilians living in the area as well many of them are now fleeing the region.

we were living in a camp life was difficult there was no way no ground no water and everything was scarce the situation was terribly bad well after the second year is barely any show during winter and in summer you would suffer from the heat that was our life. dominick still art is the director of operations at the red cross has just returned from a former militant stronghold of eastern ghouta which was recently retaken by the syrian government. i have to say i was completely overwhelmed by the scope of destruction in the eastern i think i have never seen anything like this in my twenty seven years of career in the place where i was the nearly ninety percent of the infrastructure is completely destroyed you

see entire neighborhoods are at the steroid houses that have become completely unlivable what is now absolutely critical is to ensure that these people can regain access to some basic services such as water sanitation hales. well are. particularly concerned about the possibility of escalation. of violence in that there are up to three million people living in this province. there would simply result in a humanitarian disaster. we have all known for a very long time that this is and continues to be the wars conflict that we see very very long and yet there doesn't appear to be sufficient political

convergence to bring this conflict to an end so i truly hope that we will now see the end of this conflict so that humanitarian aid can finally reach all the people of syria who are sole desperately longing for peace if anything needs are just going to grow in the coming months and years and we. will continue our effort at the same level as in the past few years because now people are also getting more accessible and therefore we can do more and we absolutely need to make sure that we can maintain the humanitarian effort at the levels of the previous years to come up to nine thirty pm here in moscow that's for their self or myself on the team join us again in half an hour for the latest global news updates.
