to claim to get. it. was. a series of bomb threats against top political and media figures continues for a second day in the us that is president trump on the american media argue as a who's to 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 accurate reporting of the mainstream media that i refer to as fake. learn refuses to budge on

his budget plan despite brussels demanding changes deputy prime minister luigi my oh's says he knows why the e.u. isn't happy. this is the first italian budget doesn't like no surprise this is the first italian budget written in rome and not in brussels. and facebook's fines for breaching privacy rules in the u.k. us examples false claims internet giants are westernizing personal information. to. a very warm welcome it's two am here in the russian capital and you're watching our c international with me and karen great to have you with us our top story in total ten suspicious packages have been found by the. police across the us all were

addressed to major political and media figures along with cnn's new york h.q. and others the mare of new york has described the incidents which appear to be connected as domestic terror donald trump meanwhile has come under fire with critics saying he has been inciting violence earlier andrew farmer spoke to artie's equals dan of about the bomb threats. trump well 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 red 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 why don't all 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 tweed 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 a civil turn and to stop the hostility and. negative and oftentimes false attacks and stories have to do with. 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 not to give a damn 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 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 are 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.

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 gave me a good. laugh and. again verified whether or not that catchphrase was on the but if it was it doesn't take a genius do two and to 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 while 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 to draw

closer this isn't going to change it's going to just get worse. for the republican member of the missouri senate told us he believes the democrats are to blame for their current atmosphere of hostility in the u.s. . well it is disappointing that that we've had such a rush to judgment state but i think you hit on the real key point that the democrats were looking terrible because of one hundred percent of the violence was coming from the left and even encouraged by many on the left so this certainly has changed the narrative or at least put that on second page and now we're all talking about whether somebody on the right is engaging in violence well i understand that it is part of the left in america and the democratic party generally to segregate people and say there's a war on women there's a war on minorities there's a war on immigrants they're the ones that are carving us up into us versus them

they have no interest in unifying so when somebody like hillary has no interest in unifying calls for unity i'm sorry that that doesn't work hillary why don't you just slip away and go enjoy your retirement. meanwhile tensions are also on the rise in the u.s. i have a launch in mind when caravan which is approaching the country's border with mexico and we've mid-term elections looming it's become 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 in. every one of 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. 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. it shows you the challenges the trouble ministration had in 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 and president obama understood that border security helps define a country if you talk to other security people some of them truly 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 so 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 supported 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 policy on the table there are some shifts going on this topic in this particular matter that is being made on both sides and i think when we get you know a dozen days away from. such a vital election to surprising. and i think the question is what do you have managed 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 his twenty nine thousand budget plan that's despite the e.u. commission giving three weeks to change it claiming revisions are needed quote in the interests of italy artie's donald corso breaks down 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 states budget demanding a resubmission to do for the first time as a commission is obliged to a. country that it was off budget to be blunt. 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 solving these 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're going to. tell me an economy is healthy and this is an economic move that will give italy distributing needs we won't change one comma in this document to. be you know to go into the we are in. 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's 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 reference rate of bits reduction in twenty nineteen so it really 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 all 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. . 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

that comes as apple's boss tim cook gave a damning speech at the european parliament claiming personal information is being weaponized by tech giants. every day billions of dollars change hands in countless decisions are made on the basis of our. lives our friends and families our relationships and conversations. in. our hopes and dreams. each one harmless enough on its own or carefully assembled. correspondent as to see a check and has more on the turmoil surrounding the tech giants 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 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 past information of users only by allowing application developers access to the information without sufficiently clear and informed consent and allowing access even if uses have not downloaded the app but was simply friends with people who had

well a facebook have said they're reviewing this latest stuff fine that was announced but should have done more at the time while we respectfully disagree with some of the 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 eighth he and that would have actually increased that number to 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 sugarcoat 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. still to come yemeni civilians are continuing to bear the brunt of the sunday led coalition's bombing campaign will have an update on its latest deadly airstrike after this short break stay with us. after world war two we ruled the world we have the most we had the sound this current say we had low interest rates and we were american century ready to

go and like the opposite lottery winner that blows it all here we are twenty eight having kind of well. after seventeen years of war in afghanistan the country is stuck in a vicious circle of violence elections assassinations and reconciliation talks with the world around afghanistan changing the country be able to escape its bloody cycle the. priest who raped me when i was fourteen years of age was known to be a sexual abuser when he was ordained a priest the church knew about his offending behavior and they are going to continue to abuse from these ordination right through his entire career as a priest.

welcome back the un's humanitarian aid agency has confirmed the deaths of twenty one paper the next saudi coalition asked trike close to the yemeni port of of port city of her data a warning you may find the following images disturbing the attack hit a fruit and vegetable markets hospital chief say all the victims all civilians and children are 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. at the library i mean. we were washington packaging the yorker and the plane came and hit us from above as we were working. the u.n. calls the yemeni civil war the worst man made humanitarian crisis in the world with twenty two million people in dire need of assistance up to fourteen million people are at risk of starvation the 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 where it has repeatedly denied attacking areas where civilians were present but we heard from writer and author of one barry who thinks the international community should stand against the military attacks on yemen. while i believe that the national community now is concentrating on that of the journalist. this actually. a crime itself should. make the international community concentrate on the bigger one bigger muscle which is. more than three years and a half until now it is it is absolutely. beautiful it is hypocrisy of the international community why they are silent because saudis are rich is because they can't make money by sending weapons especially you know european countries and

united states i don't believe this kind of hypocrisy is should continue there should be as bad as against this intervention in yemen. when trump takes to the telephone not russia and china listen and learn that's the headline grabbing story 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 to old friends they hope to obtain information to use against him but all those named in the story have mocked the allegations as medina cauchon of explains. well the new york times has published an article that has been raising plenty of eyebrows but the article says that the u.s. 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 that the article was so incorrect and he also added that he uses only government phones well also at 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 that was an other piece of avid and that the new york times is making fake news newish bomb first the new york times should understand that by publishing this kind of reports it's creating new. big news. for those who fear my phones are being hacked hallway mobile phones can be a good alternative we'll let you do that here in moscow we decided to ask russia's

foreign ministry spokeswoman marty has a hard about to also comment on this article this is another example of our absurd disappeared or an absolute world behind the looking in the newspapers didn't show any concrete sources during your official information and your talks about from talking to the president of the united states the united states of america was brazenly tapping for example the german chancellor and this information was confirmed to form as you can see average one the mentioned in this article seems to disagree with that but what they do agree on is that it simply is not true. of all children and some of the poorest countries are trapped in child labor quoting to unicef with the cocoa industry becoming an area of growing concern. you can do better than the. world.

while 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 the 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 have become panini's provided financial and technical support to ivory coast farmers in order to guarantee the cheapest cocoa nestlé it denies wrongdoing. regrettably in bringing such lawsuits the plaintiffs class action lawyers 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 and twenty seventeen nestlé published its first report on its progress in eliminating child labor in its supply chain it detailed the main areas the company had been focusing on but human rights lawyer down cavalli believes consumer pressure is the best way to bring change. companies that can get away with forced labor child labor will. will use it because they want to maximize their profit splendidly simple as that and i think companies have found in code to do are the space to be able to use for child labor and so that's why so they're using it that's why these lawsuits are important because they forces 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 is been frankly a bad actor for in very different ways over the years. if you have something to say would love to herrick so do get in touch by following us on social media we'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines join us then if we can't. make this manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round of lives only the one percent. to ignore middle of the room sick.

room. join me every thursday on the alex sullivan show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. dr almost two years ago office many still question whether donald trump has a coherent foreign policy the same cannot be said about the president's national security adviser john bolton when you think of bolton the word subtlety and diplomacy don't come to mind so is there no a bolton doctor. doesn't know as an athlete or much of a. toll
