you know when. i. remember. i i i i i. i. man from florida is charged with sending a string of mail bombs to a number of senior us democrats and could now face up to fifty eight years in prison. european court of human rights throws out an appeal that had sought to defend the defaming of prophet mohammed is freedom of speech our guests debate the issue. we should have free speech and it goes as far as saying in some

instances that it was wrong but become other people to use and abuse to become racist demonize a group of people. around the leaders of russia and france for a first of its kind some it's nice to live pictures from there to thrash out a solution to the syria crisis of the conflict now into its final stages. although the welcome is just gone two pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now the u.s. justice department has confirmed that fifty six year old sees this is the man in custody in connection with the recent wave of mail bombs targeting senior political figures officials say they identified his fingerprints and d.n.a. from one of the envelopes see how did allegedly sent the media has been stressing

though the suspects strong support for donald trump. this is the face police have tied to the anonymous explosive devices mailed this week to prominent democrats and apparently mad bomber has been targeting president trump's favorite targets for his invective cesar say ark holding a sign that says c.n.n. sucks as well as a lot of other nonsense and there he is at a trump rally and the fifty six year old florida resident today was arrested and charged with sending a series of explosive devices. a criminal record previously convicted eight times including for car theft if found guilty of the attempted possible means he could face up to fifty eight years in jail among the targets of his the same package iraq obama hillary clinton and to c.n.n. the only trumpets condemned the incident. we will prosecute them him her whoever it may be to the fullest extent of the law.

we must never allow political violence to take root in america cannot. and i'm committed to doing everything in my power as president to stop it well the attempted bombings highlight polarize the u.s. has become head of the midterm elections in just over a week's time this is confirmed by a nice view which found that eighty percent of americans do think that country is greatly divided it is also found that almost forty percent of those believe the situation will worsen the poll also revealed saying that among the most contentious political issues are donald trump's presidency economic inequality and race relations and political activist christian man said it told us that it does need to be a concerted effort to bring people together. both sides have to tone it down both the president and the media and other political sectors have to come together and

understand that we cannot continue sending these inflammatory comments on t.v. and on social media because there are people who take it personally and then they think that they have a way to respond and this is one example and now is the republican side that has this crazy follower and we also had this democratic extreme left follower a few a few months ago when he attack a congressman's colleagues so i think that we have to be very careful because this is becoming a real problem. and while many in the u.s. to feel the divisions will any worse and some in the mainstream media initially pointed the finger at russia as being behind the possible. i have this fear that it could be some russian operation too in designed to do what's happening now. well however recent posts showing that more people doubt the mainstream media's coverage of russia with more on that haze kind of mopping. a while back it might be

weeks between any russia related stories in mainstream media but times have changed and now it seems that no matter what the topic mainstream media finds a way to bring russia into it russia harvested american rage to reshape u.s. politics how the russians are trying to turn the tragedy to their advantage to target almost every major american social movement russian bot still pushing divisive past tags apparently accounts on social media even now so with stories of big bad russia playing round the clock on their television screens you would think that people living in western countries would be in a state of anti russian hysteria except they aren't according to a poll conducted by the french institute for public opinion it turns out that nearly half of americans and europeans don't buy into the russian coverage in the mainstream press france takes the lead when it comes to being wary of mainstream

media russia reporting however across the pond people are slightly more trusting yet forty three percent of the u.s. public is wary of the russian coverage around the clock so why are people less trusting well lately the russian coverage has gotten a little bit weird russia is being blamed for the controversy around football players kneeling during the national anthem rush is being encouraged of having stars like emma watson used in memes in order to troll teenagers russia is even being blamed for criticism of the last jet ice star wars movie and a great disturbance in the force says millions of voices suddenly cried out to the sun this time so we decided to show these headlines to new yorkers let's see if they can spot the fake one our russian. weaves on instagram. maybe it could be true it's also its own street but let's hear the kremlin backed trolls use stars like emma watson to spread discord in the west. really that sounds

. more real sound real the. russian bots promote guns after florida school shooting . yes that sounds to sound real. for the last jet i was actually spread by russian troll. fake i don't know it's real i think this. is not a true headline trick question there all the headlines are all real and what you make of. it it's crazy you tricked me i could believe the real headlines that doesn't mean they're real out of control. the media is a little hysterical want to talk about this stuff yes i think so clearly according to those headlines i think so trying to get a reaction out of. her just trying to you know stir up some sort of. breeze some americans buy it but a lot of others don't skepticism is everywhere it seems that rather than forming an anti russian mob a lot of americans have decided to question more cable mopp and r.t.

new york. now with the conflict in syria appearing to be in its final phase people in the war torn country still have a long way to go before finding reconciliation that's why lead to key france germany and russia have gathered today in. line steps for a peaceful resolution so let's get the latest on this story now we're going to try and he's in istanbul for us good afternoon what can we expect from today's summit. andrew hi what a lineup we have here today on saturday you name the countries it is indeed something special and then the last forty minutes we've seen the plains of bangalore mark whole lot then finally emmanuel macron touched down at the airport they were like subway trains on a platform fall weighing one another and again this is something that's never happened before it's an explorer. on the one hand we've got the countries that are

trying to push for peace in syria through the so-called asin approach says minus iran and let's just not forget that right now turkey is pretty much on a mission that it's set for itself to really squeeze out all the news for terrorists and the rest of their allied terrorists from the province of idlib in syria on the other hand germany france and turkey are some of the most some of the strongest nato players in europe and we cannot help pointing out that donald trump isn't going to be around in a stamboul on saturday well since this kind of event is something absolutely new and of course we understand that there is always something special in the links between all these foreign leaders it is very hard to predict the format but we did hear something about it from the russian president's press secretary dmitri peskov

last night. tronson germany had participated in discussing serious problems under different from the issue of the days to reconcile different formats in order to synchronize which is negotiate and to attempt to identify common topics it is hard to say right away what subjects will be touched upon it will be the first discussion of this coming. if this wasn't clear enough i guess we can look at some of the things that the turkish media pointed out to according to them the things that will be brought up on saturday are the reconsolidation in syria as a whole albeit slowly besides this ways to preserve the zone in the ellipse province also another really tough task is to hold elections in syria plus the return of the displaced people the refugees that's not easier as well and.

there is another issue that's very important for. the turkish government the presence of kurds in northern syria just once again i want to point out that washing. here in this border but according to other media reports we heard that emmanuel macro on how to phone conversation with donald trump just a little bit earlier and it's being reported that basically the result of this was some kind of common understanding that the united states and france share the same security humanitarian and political objectives in syria so the question is will manual macron be called kind of donald or here. very soon will find that out and perhaps the thing that you can see behind me the flags that's just where the limos of the leaders will be arriving any minute so this is the gate of the. residence here and we'll be watching we'll be watching we're definitely

waiting for the leaders to come here very soon. yeah good weather for it so you thank you for keeping an eye on that summit in istanbul. japan's government has rejected a u.n. experts on hazardous materials to halt the return of women and children to areas close to the fukushima nuclear plant it is feared the region is still contaminated as a result of the twenty eleven nuclear disaster just to remind you back then a powerful earthquake followed by a tsunami led to nuclear meltdowns and the release of radioactive materials from the plant but we're pleased to say we can now bring in. the un special rapporteur on has the substances who's just called on japan to hold those returns i'm a very glad that you found the time to speak to the name just outlined for us your main concerns. thank you very much for having me. very

concerned is that japan is all but ignoring a recommendation by the un human rights council's monitoring mechanism of last year to return the acceptable dose of radiation back to what it was before the fukushima disaster in essence japan has raised the acceptable level of radiation from one millisieverts per year to twenty mostly where it's pretty clear and we're concerned that there is an inadequate assurance of safety in particular for women. who are or may be pregnant as well as young children who are growing up in an area so what could be the impact on people's health if they do work and levels that high. well one of the primary concerns that we have is potential for an increased risk of cancer. the risk of childhood exposure to radiation. the risks have not been adequately demonstrated and proven to be safe that certain

dosages including the dosages that japan is alleging to be safe so we're quite concerned about an increased risk of cancer and other health effects and i know also you've highlighted the dangers posed to women and children is that because you see them as being more vulnerable. absolutely especially to the potential exposure to radiation in fukushima on a consistent basis for those who are living there for children who are growing up in the area. mothers pregnant mothers whose fetuses are still developing and extremely sensitive during those periods of development this is of grave concern and one of the principles that articulated by the international commission on radiation protection the i.c. r.p. is that actions that result in exposure should be justified and this is entirely consistent with the un convention on the right. of the child which also emphasizes

the obligation of states to prevent and minimize exposure of children to harmful substances so why do you think japan many is taking this action. well i think the japanese are trying to move the situation back to a status quo as it was before the nuclear disaster as quickly as possible and in many ways that's to be commended but there also may be a possibility in this is why we're concerned that the japanese government is moving too quickly and perhaps not insuring inadequate level of safety in particular for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and children and i also you've stated your case have a need to the japanese what was their response. well the japanese responses is twofold one one they say that they are responding to the requests of. people who

used to live in fukushima that want to return. that that may be well in true but the information that i'm receiving including from former residents is that they are being compelled to return that their financial assistance that was provided to them after the disaster has been reduced or eliminated and thus they have. in a sense been financially forced to return to areas that they believe are not safe i've spoken to several mothers in particular who feel that they are being compelled to return because of financial hardships is there still time thing that the government has sorry go ahead. i was just going to say the second thing is that the government says that they're following international recommendations for acceptable those surge of radiation exposure levels however if you look at the actual recommendations what the what the bin or national bodies say is that they actually do not know what is acceptable dose of radiation for children and women of.

reproductive age and they urge most caution a justification of any actions so when would you expect people to start returning to these areas then. well in many areas people have already started to return we've been having conversations with the japanese government for many months perhaps even over a year now. but we are increasingly concerned that some of the more contaminated areas will be people will be returning to those areas imminently and so we're we're quite concerned about those areas i'm from your perspective do you see any hope that you still might be able to persuade the japanese authorities to reverse their decision in any way. we we hope so. perhaps even more than persuading them is to ask for the japanese government to invite. myself and other u.n. experts to come and visit because. they have they have extended

a standing invitation to the people such as myself to come and visit japan to understand the human rights situation but to date they haven't responded to our requests for an invitation to visit. on a broader point mr jack there are reports that plans to dump radioactive water from into the pacific ocean. can you verify that is that true and what would be your concerns. i can't verify that but obviously there is a number of questions and concerns both for human health as well as the environment more broadly. one of the unanswered questions that we have regarding fukushima relating to the waste is what they are going to do with the radioactive store soil that's been stored in large plastic bags around around fukushima and where that will be disposed to date we have no answer for that. and the same questions ok

we're going to have to leave it there but it's a really good to tell you that was. chad he's the u.n. special on has a substances thanks. fashions come few. in the u.k. calls for one of its leading universities to remove a world for one memorial because you don't think she's white men will have a look at that in more detail just off right. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s.

has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one one doesn't show you can't afford to miss the one and only. welcome back now the european court. human rights has ruled that the faming the

prophet mohammed falls outside the limits of acceptable speech the case saw a panel of judges reject an appeal from an austrian woman who'd been seeking to overturn a conviction for insulting islam in the domestic courts comprehensively assess the wider context of the applicant statements and carefully balanced her right to freedom of expression with the right of others to have their religious feelings protect and serve the legitimate aim of preserving religious peace in austria well the woman identified only as in yes held to seminars back in two thousand and nine intitled basic information on islam she allegedly gives the classes to characterize the prophet as a paedophile that led to a conviction in twenty eleven for defaming religious doctrines and a fine of nearly five hundred euro's her appeal on the grounds of free speech had earlier also been rejected by the austrian cos we got reaction to the story from

the journalist and also massoud jar a he's from these amec human rights commission. this is about faith of course muslims don't like that their prophet mohammed is being criticized but it should be in this instance you know we should have free speech i'm sorry as a muslim who will come to any sort of dialogue or discussion with any critic of islam as long as it is of all of us sit down and be taught but if somebody actually turns around the abuse and becomes abusive then that's a different kettle of fish it's a cultural discussions it happens in our societies so islam must be ready also to be tackled to be questioned about certain things that are not acceptable that are also legislations now against islamophobia why one people should be free to be islamophobia as some people are anti christian for anti-christian for example so it

should be free we should have free speech and it goes as far as saying in some instances that perfect mohammad was very wrong you know we cannot allow people to use the concept of freedom of speech which i actually i think is a very important. thing to have but become of a low people to use and abuse to become racist demonize a group of people and then make him into others and there's not really this value and then promote fascism come on come on anti semitism is racism clearly but islamophobia is against a religion and i can moderate it sorry not sort of in that is no no you didn't look you are you're you're really you're really hiding behind the fact of the mother is i don't want fascism to come back in the streets of europe there is no violence on the part of europeans to woods to what's muslims they are welcome in europe but

they must remain end of private sphere look muslims will come in europe that is the . a racist thing to say you know these are people who are part and parcel of what europeans say look what you mean no you're you're you're just saying will come of course or will come there they're all stricken people who are austrian and they've been austrian since two thousand of the year nineteen of there are sixty eight thousand muslims in oriya so what they want to say that they don't need you to work on them they belong to austria this is a language of exclusion this language of otherness is exactly what i'm talking about the reality is that we can sort of have sort of one set of rules and laws for one community another one for all that. now one of the u.k.'s top universities has found itself at the center of a controversy after the head of its student union called for the removal of one hundred year old memorial honoring soldiers who fought in the first world war. as

the story. here at the university of southampton a student union president has caused a lot of outrage after she demanded a world war one memorial new movie scrapped the reason it features only white men but mark my words were taken downs a mural white man in a unit sen room even if i have to paint or it myself the problem is it's not just a random white man on the mural the image was painted in one thousand sixteen and is known to students who fought and died in the first world war without being able to complete their degrees so this remark to get rid of that mural drew a lot of criticism including from a descendant of the artist the sentiment behind the painting is wonderful it's awful to see women like this browsing off on twitter about something is idiotic is that this means that real issues then don't get discussed. i hope she will reflect on what she has said and realize it has been conducted in poor taste those who know

the history of our island are fully aware of and appreciate the involvement of black and asian soldiers against tyranny. the university told us this the comments made by the students union president regarding the rothenstein muro are not shared by the university of southampton we're very proud to display the miro which serves as a memorial to all members of british universities who served in the great war this is far from the first time you can universities have been rocked with similar scandals or when i. i i. despite an apology from the woman at the center of the controversy a petition to remove her from the post of student union president has been quickly gathering supporters let's find out exactly what students at the university make of

it all and we disagree with. all of our opinions there are people in rage because it's like you're touching because you're something other narrated you're writing if you want and you are writing a story you're literally blaming these people died for your country and they couldn't get the degree you have the pleasure to. think they couldn't something real real and that's real i think history is something we kind of have to accept it rewriting it's not the right way that's denying i history i can accept that it's happened and maybe it was a right whatever but it's you know you can only write for. many different people for just what many. times over your head if you. suppose the white man who is. the point every right i do hope that more people. and characters will be discussing it in greater depth. and situation reporting there

now with halloween just days away one n.b.c. host has found herself without a job after a televised discussion about what is what is not an acceptable. well it is racist because because this is truly what you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on the halloween or a black person who puts out a white face yeah we like that a black rat is a kid that was ok as long as you were dressing up like a character and. i defended the idea saying as long as it was as it was respectful and part of the hollowing costume it seemed ok well i was wrong and i am sorry. to not know historical significance of that she said something stupid she said something indefensible she owes

a bigger apology to the folks of color around the country people don't get to decide what's racist if i promise you i don't decide if it hurts or not. there has never been a time in that in her forty seven years that blackface has been acceptable. where is a man oh man. do you want to be a murderer and go what not a lot of black old films show. me when they say is true in the words of the old me spiritual i have gone black. and i can't go back. some time and i call the whole lot over the sky and say what the hail born on up there you will hold on all the planets for and hold your duty.

well if you already are a pro forma liberal with left wing views there's no reason to fire you they didn't have something that they wanted to get rid of for say jimmy fallon or jimmy kimmel the late night comedy talk show host who both in the last ten years have been seen on television dressed as black people famous black people including black makeup on their faces nobody in the american entertainment is has been dented by their occasional forays into blackface except making kelly who was not liberal enough and got punished for exact that's the way n.b.c. and most american media does business liberalism first common sense way later he's going to be here in moscow thanks being with the softening the back of the headlines in half an.
