after world war two we ruled the world we have the most gold we have the sound this current see we low interest rates and we were american century ready to go. like the awful good lottery winner that blows it all here we are twenty eight having. a series of bomb threats against top political and media figures continues for a second day in the us president trump on the american media argue over who's to blame for the state of disarray. a very big part of the anger we see today in our society is cool the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the mainstream media that i referred to is fake. refuses to budge on its budget despite

brussels the morning changes deputy prime minister says he knows. this is the first italian budget. no surprise this is the first italian budget written in rome and not in brussels. facebook's fine for breaching probably some rules in the u.k. . blames inside john so weaponized personal information. thanks for joining us here live at all to international law. you're very welcome on the program. now in total ten suspicious packages have now been found by police across the united states all were addressed to major but it's a media figures along with c.n.n. new york h.q. as well as others the matter of new york described. the incidents which appear

connected as domestic terror says donald trump has come under fire with critics saying his use of rhetoric has fueled hate and the president himself blames the media earlier my colleague got to follow us back to r.t.c. he goes out of. bones from paul 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 we don't know trump he's already talked a lot about this he has tweeted blaming the media for spearheading the hades he said that they are hateful beyond description that was in in a tweet but that was not the only thing that he had to say as part of a larger national effort to bridge the divides and bring people together the media also has a responsibility just said in a civil tone to stop the hostility and constant negative and oftentimes false attacks and stories have to do. i am 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 that arouse. he seemed to give. so trump on 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 this culture of hatred now adding gasoline to these flames unverified reports and images of one of the explosive devices found allegedly 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 it's like. started laughing.

again and verified 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 have a it's a bit of a blessing for them in a 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 donald trump and his camp are trying to spin it in a completely different way and well one thing to know for certain is that as mid-terms to draw closer this isn't going to change it's going to just get worse. media legal analyst law society in the u.s.

has been polarized 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 another wave if you will rhetoric and that is various democratic leaders maxine waters in eric holder who are saying you know go out there and what you say you had strong supporter in a restaurant there right out and have at a gas station north or somewhere and you get in their face and when they go low we fight this rhetoric granted not on the level of pipe bombs and white outer but this is what we've been talking about all over the place. i mean while tensions are also on the rise in the u.s. over laws from migrant terrifying 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 and so a little bit of a different picture he was talking about this caravan the caravan the caravan the caravan. there has been assured illegal immigration recently a 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. 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. that is not the very secure. and prevent people from entering illegally this is a moral and humanitarian crisis we simply cannot allow people to four 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 so we are a better country than one that chair's families apart we turned it into a great political football and people are still a long time political. 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 a policy on the table or some ships going out on this topic in this particular

matter it is being made 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 going through the next time that. rome has ruled out changes to its twenty nine hundred budget plan that's despite the e.u. commission giving them three weeks to make amends claiming revisions are needed in the interests of italy to use double quarter break style the dispute. brussels is sharpening its knife in preparation for a new battle with rome for the first time the e.u. has flat out rejected a member state's budget demanding a resubmission to do for the first time as a commission. to a. country that it was off budget. but we seen

no alternative to it all and to do so it is in the interest of. 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 the economy at that. time in 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 the reason to. be you know to go into the we are note. that. 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 assessments also indicate that the growth rate for france does not respect the reference 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 or 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 shoo in with the new donald quarter r.t. . of the headlines facebook has been fined by the u.k.'s information commission over the cambridge a lunatic a scandal the commission said the company's failed to protect user data it comes as apple's boss tim cook gave a damning speech at the european parliament claiming personal information is being weaponized by the. every day billions of dollars change hands in countless decisions are made on the basis of our likes and dislikes our friends and families our relationships and conversation. our hopes and dreams. each one harmless enough on its

own or carefully assembled. and sold our correspondent on to say it has more now on the turmoil surrounding the tech giant. 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 analytics that was later said to have been used for our 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 facebook process the personal information of users by allowing application developers access to the information without sufficiently clear and informed consent and allowing access even if users had 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 while we respectfully disagree with some of their findings we have said before that we should have done more to investigate claims about cambridge analytical 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 is new regulation now in place since may twenty eighty 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 miniscule given the fact that facebook's annual revenue just in twenty seventeen was forty point seven billion dollars we shouldn't sugar coat the consequence of. 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. twenty one people are confirmed dead after a saudi coalition air strike near the key yemeni port city of her data that's according to the u.n. humanitarian agency warning you may find the following images distressing tax cuts of fruit and vegetable markets hospital chief say all the victims are civilians

children are also among the dead footage shows the bodies lying on the ground in the aftermath of the tragedy this is how one witness described what happened. i think at the library i mean. we were washington package in the yorker and the plane came and hit us from above as we were working. at the u.n. calls the yemeni civil war the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in the world with twenty two million people in dire need of assistance up to fourteen million people are risk of starvation a country has been in conflict since twenty fifteen when a coalition of arab states launched a military operation to defeat the rebels and restore the ousted yemeni government right now across live to writer and author abdel at waterbury thanks for joining us i could have you on the program the civilian death toll in particular has risen row dramatically since the coalition started this assault on the data area this latest strike we just mentioned another twenty seven lives claimed can anything be done to

stop this. well actually down the national committee should and their v.a. immediately and put that into these because which committed by saudi arabia and other allies who are this war in yemen it is four years now since that this actually invasion this bombardment started and the victims of this war mainly civilian children and women and i'm surprised and shocked wide and the national community is silent when they can see at least fifteen thousand people were massacred and also more than thirty five thousand people were injured and also yemen is a very poor country it is under sanction people are starving sit in the knee and people in the edge of starvation children are man nutrition and they are dying because of the lack of for medicine was the large bombs all our bond market fruit

are you know so i don't know for how long this. sound believable why didn't that mr community the. action and these. supposed another question is one of arms sales to riyadh i mean many world leaders and are questioning the morality perhaps of selling arms to saudi arabia given the murder of jamal khashoggi but this catastrophe has been going on now for what just around three years now do you think there is some sort of line where the international community will find a unified response and say look enough is enough. well i believe the temperature community now is concentrating on the death of the journalist. so there in that you know there are people killed them about fifteen people were sent to ankara saudi soil or samples saudi consulate and they committed their they actually he

was tortured and there are news that he was dismembered so this is actually a crime in itself should. make their international community concentrate on the bigger one the bigger muscle which is taking place in yemen as you mentioned more than three years and a half until now and it is it is absolutely. beautiful it is hypocrisy of the international community why they are silent is it because saudi is rich is it because they can't make money by sending weapons especially you know european countries and united states they are actually gaining billions hundreds of billions of dollars selling. arms and munitions to the saudi government i don't believe this kind of hypocrisy is should continue there should be a stand a strong stand against this intervention and we have a two month and. he is you know definitely he was murder under saudi at

method that their mother and the consulate the consulate and stumble but you know it is that much bigger problem and that should be stopped immediately to save the children to save and to send this country why why this impeachment is taking place why it is bombardment is taking place where is that united nations where is the international community i am really shocked we are running out of time but just briefly riyadh the saudi government has denied targeting civilians there has been damaged but they say they are doing their best to avoid civilian casualties there any targeting terrorists yet these incidents seem to keep happening. you know every time saudi bombed you know our market or the or our school they pretend that all they say all was justifying this kind of us against by saying we actually commit ourselves to the rules of. games here and we're trying to avoid

simply yes but unfortunately you know if there's a music uses the same you know. we from the real problem or committee themselves do i need a sponsor abilities for this this time it is a proof that all these talks about their audience it is actually a joke not completely acceptable so we are waiting for the next muster please and it's accuser to be used i have you know to say that this kind of muscle cars should be stopped those people in yemen deserve life this is if we are here and it should live like everybody else should be actually protected from this kind of attacks which continues tory for the last three years and how seems it will never stop shore certainly from the point of view of finding a solution that does appear to be a stalemate doesn't read insisting it's not targeting civilians a lot of evidence suggesting that this does keep happening though and hopefully

there will be some sort of consensus here to bring some some peace to the any people rise author of abdullah one barry thanks for joining us here on r.t. international and. when trump takes to the telephone russia and china listen and learn that the headline grabbing story at least by the new york times citing anonymous officials the article claims chinese and russian spies apparently tapped donald trump's i phone which he still uses to chat told friends hope to obtain information to use against him all those named in the story there have walked the allegations as when a question of a explains. well of the new york times has published an article that has been raising plenty of eyebrows of the article says that the us president aides have repeated warned the president that his cell phone calls are not secure but still donald trump refuses to give up his phones while of the u.s.

president donald trump decided to comment on this article as he usually does using his twitter he wrote the article was so in caracas and he also added that he uses only government phones while also at daily briefing at the chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman said that during the list of behind this particular article we're trying to win an academy award for best screenplay and she also added that that was an other piece of avid and that the new york times is making fake news. first the new york times should understand that by publishing this kind of reports it's creating new made big news second for those who fear i phones are being hacked who always phones can be a good alternative we let you do that here in moscow we decided to ask russia's

foreign ministry spokeswoman marty has a hard about to also comment that this is another example of absurdist clear and absolute world behind the looking glass the newspaper didn't show any concrete sources during your official information and your talks about phone tapping the president of the united states well the united states of america was brazenly tapping for example the german chancellor and this information was confirmed as you can see average when the mentioned in this article seems to disagree with it but what they do agree on is that it simply is not true. quarter of all children and some of the poorest countries are trapped in child labor that's according to unicef with the cocoa industry becoming an area of growing concern. in 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 accused the companies of supporting forced child labor by purchasing cocoa from ivory coast the former child slaves so waited to 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 plaintiff said the company's provided financial and technical support to ivory coast farmers in order to guarantee the cheapest nestlé denies any wrongdoing. regrettably in bringing such lawsuits the plaintiffs class action lawyers are targeting the very organizations trying to fight forced labor force child labor is unacceptable 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 it details the main areas the company had been focusing on human rights lawyer aleko believes consumer pressure is the best way to bring about change. companies that can get away with forced labor child labor will. well use it because they want to maximize their profit but it's simple as that and i think companies if there aren't in total the war the space to be able to use force child labor in so that's what so they're using that's why these lawsuits are important because they force these companies hopefully to amend their action i think in the case of a nestle 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.
