more divisions emerge in the u.s. this time over a video involving c.n.n. reporter jim acosta some claim the material. order to justify the journalist from the white house. posts a tweet in support of the yemeni children. tens of thousands every year as a result. of the program this hour the syrian army rescues over a dozen hostages from the. state while a u.s. report reveals american aid money is ending up in the terrorist pockets there.

nato marks its territory with a sinking ship by. public places host nation norway complains the alliance has left the country only following. their. around the clock across the world this is your r.t. international from the team and myself you know neil alone welcome. president to his say c.n.n. journalist accused of inappropriate behavior in a white house press conference he defended a twitter post that apparently shows reporter jim acosta pushing the arm of an internal tries to the president follow up questions the u.s. is split over the issue with some claiming the video was being doctored in order to justify bombing from the white house the video has been posted by you. press

secretary service saunders shows a close up picture c.n.n. claims acosta never touched the in turn one call the whole incident a threat to democracy here's how the situation at the presser unfolded. one of the statements that you made in the tail end of the campaign do we go honestly i think you should let me run the country you run c.n.n. all right and if you didn't well your ratings let me ask you that's an ask one of the other folks that stood out for me ma'am this was me that's enough was president the other folks that said for me ma'am you are a rude terrible person. was this an inappropriate action aggressive or was it simply an accident well the answer to that depends what side of the political spectrum that you're on liberals and defenders of c.n.n. say that accosted did nothing wrong jim acosta clearly never touched that white house intern that's just a lie and what i saw was a battery not by jim acosta but by that young white house aide if you can use

a fake video use a fake video should go all the way do something like this. guy. but conservatives are rounding in on a cost accusing him of being violent practically shoving a woman who is just trying to do her job it just is it crosses a line you don't put your hands i don't want him a cost to sort of wrestling this young white house intern the video was posted originally by paul joseph watson who is the editor in chief of the right wing news outlet no one is in for wars now paul joseph watson defended himself and said that he simply zoomed in and that the quality of the video had gone down due to the re uploading it isn't dr that it isn't sped up it isn't slowed down all i did was look at it again is this an example of symbol don't ring that clip to change its meaning no it's virtually identical is it won't hundred percent identical no video compression is going to result in it will. marginally different so where is the

truth americans are probably reminded of the famous dress controversy in the photograph one looked at it one way it was black and blue and another way it was white and gold depending on the eye of the holder well now we have a polarizing video clip people look at it they see the same seconds of visual recording but interpret it completely differently it seems that as the political crisis escalates that americans literally no longer see things i try there's probably never been a better example of. how the american public is divided we're all looking at the same exact video but we're seeing what we want to see democrats are looking at that video and seeing jim acosta absolutely not coming not touching this in turn republicans are looking at it and saying he touched her he laid hands on her and i don't really think that's how we should be looking at it we should try to put our politics aside and just try to see what happened to this is a press the press corps that's very hungry they don't get very many face to face

chances to meet with the president as they did so they're all competing with each other the room is big you know all their bosses want them to get a question and so it's not surprising that there's a scrum here. and i want to turn attention to another headline stories now the united nations has issued a direct warning that yemeni children in the city of who data are of imminent risk of death the statement comes after the saudi led coalition intensified military activity in the area. whole day to day very much on the frome lines of a brutal war a brutal war against children children have already suffered three men this need continue doing so so any escalation also comes to me that affects the whole day will have. consequences not only for do. hundreds of thousands of children

in the whole day who may be called in the middle of the gun think but will have consequences for the millions of children throughout yemen who are counting on the supplies coming in through a whole day to help them to survive the figures really are startling the un has repeatedly stressed the thirty thousand children die of malnutrition every year in the country describing the conflict as a living hell. on who has been leading a deadly campaign against the rebels since twenty fifteen say they are trying to reduce civilian deaths the kingdom's foreign ministry has even posted on twitter that they stand for the children of yemen but the message back fired as if you are trying to reports just so you know children in yemen some of whom have never seen peace in their life are not alone says who saudi diplomats on twitter but

something seems to be wrong with the photo and that tweet probably because the reality for most children there looks more like this. or this there is more let's go back to what was under the photo it says your children are children is this really how you treat your children. these were the pictures now to some of the things that have been said by the u.n. children's fund experts in yemen every ten minutes a child dies from

a disease that can easily be prevented yemen is one of the worst places. right now because he's the number of children minorities. and the number of two that don't have access to the same access to. the u.n. says since march twenty fifth being saudi led coalition air strikes have killed around thirteen hundred yemeni children and injured roughly the same number as unlikely as it sounds saudi arabia is actually yemen's biggest humanitarian dollar with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid this year alone just like an abusive partner who picks up the medical bills no wonder folks online didn't really by the way saudi diplomats are standing with. ok moving on now world leaders have started arriving in front's where their one hundredth anniversary of the end of the first world war is being marked commemorations are

set to take place right throughout the weekend the french president will play host to over sixty global leaders including president putin's. chancellor merkel on friday the british prime minister joined a manual honoring the fallen soldiers of the great war in which over fourteen million people were killed the main memorial event will take place on sunday night the arc de triomphe in parlous. however the commemorations come of an orchid time for the french president he triggered a wave of criticism this week after a nun saying plans to honor a first world war french military hero who later became a prominent nazi collaborator politicians and members of the jewish community blasted mccrum for his shocking and insulting remarks they say about one of the country's darkest chapters with more on this quarter reports. french president

emanuel macron is facing a backlash after he endorsed honoring the french world war one military leader philip attained for armistice day the thing is though petain is also responsible for leading france in collaborating with the nazis you know could do i am not concealing any part of history and martial pertaining was also a great soldier during world war one one can be a great soldier during world war one and then make fatal choices in the second world war and he sure did make some bad choices after leading the french to a monumental victory in world war one fast forward about two decades and you'll find petain at the helm of vichy france a regime which helped the nazis deport and exterminate jews micron's willingness to brush that page of history aside for a bit of national pride has upset more than just a few french jews who should q i am shocked that we can honor a man who it must be remembered was himself responsible for the deportation of jews

from france macron spokesperson tried to boil the whole thing down to a misunderstanding but that didn't go over too well since it was originally planned that eight marshals would be honored and well during the war there were only eight marshals of france including petain. the controversy isn't exactly new though as views of petain have historically been divided in france in one thousand nine hundred three polls showed that thirty percent of french saw petain as a leader who sought to safeguard the country's interests and guess what macro's approval ratings are actually lower right now perhaps weighing into the controversy surrounding such a divisive historical figure should be avoided especially when the president's own actions and opinions are not very popular in the first place donald quarter r t. let's turn attention to the west coast of america where nine people have been killed and many more injured on missing in wildfires blazing across california

thousands of buildings have been destroyed on president trump as the clear that a state of emergency a quarter of a million people in all have been evacuated from their homes right across the area reports say the fast moving wildfires have destroyed on the entire tone and are currently moving in on malibu the iconic beachfront area is home to many celebrities whose mansions are in danger. the syrian army say's it has rescued over a dozen hostages from this law mixtape during a military operation near the city of palmira the captives had been held since july but i've now returned to their hometown and. i don't know if it was. because. you know. there was no you know this is a drug. that was you know.

well other terror groups are also present in the war torn country and some of them even have access to foreign funding a recent report has revealed that u.s. aid money is actually lining the terrorists' pockets routes going to steve delved deeper into the story. american taxpayer money cash that is almost wholly in the u.s. mindset inviolable money but has seen politicians jailed for the slightest misuse is ending up in the hands of al qaeda in syria now that's a sick twisted if anything a new report has found that millions millions of dollars in aid to syria has been funneled to terrorists since late twenty seventeen u.s. agency for international development office of the inspector general investigation

have uncovered numerous instances of possible or confirmed diversions to armed groups in government in northwestern syria including hayat time of year al sharm a designated foreign terrorist organization. h.t.s. nusra front they have many names in short as wing in syria facts of the matter that they were benefiting from u.s. taxpayer money it's no surprise everyone n.g.o.s aid organizations civilians traveling through northern syria have to pay to pass checkpoints beat and money in goods this is been a fact for years it's business one of the terrorists' main sources of funding worst

of all it is assumed that these jihad ists have been able to infiltrate put their people in n.g.o.s humanitarian organizations from which they siphon money and aid to further their malign cause one investigation found that in n.g.o.s employees knowingly diverted thousands of u.s. aid funded food care. it's worth millions of dollars to ineligible beneficiaries including your all sham fighters the report itself is light on names and numbers perhaps for political reasons the fallout here could seriously damage and geo operations all we know is that millions of dollars in cash in aid have been funneled to al qaeda in syria and that's just what they've admitted they found that funding has now been terminated but it's very interesting in this report is that

the usaid watchdog does not name the n.g.'s now of course one of those primary n.g.o.s will be the white house probably one of the most primitive. and i can i and these are n.p.r. and he's working on the ground in syria basically providing the public and there in the corporation of the regime change current policy surely the u.s. should first of all be left on economic sanctions and it should then be if it's necessary be collaborating with the syrian government to provide aid to the areas where it's most needed because i don't expect this to happen it regardless it's a sick and a sad joke on the american taxpayer trillions of their hard money spent on the war on terror originally on defeating al qaeda and all the while they've been paying to feed and finance those very same jihad ists nato's drills in norway leave behind a trail of mayhem and some very angry locals we have more on the story on plenty

more besides in ninety seconds. i've been saying the numbers. 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 to the rich eight point six percent market so thirty percent from last year some with four hundred to five hundred per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two

point one billion dollars. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one doesn't show you know for a minute the one and only. eighteen minutes past ten am this somebody's morning here in moscow welcome back to the online encyclopedia wikipedia maybe they go to research to end your quiz night the spirits for instance but just how much of the content is actually right correct. has more now on the sides in our working. wiki pedia is

a free encyclopedia based on a model of openly editable contant the largest and most popular general reference work on the world wide web this is the definition of we keep pedia on wikipedia wiki p.t. is very different from something like blogs or trying to be an inside. pedia trying to be really solid stable kind of place ironically the founder of wikipedia is one of the few people who sees the encyclopedic value of his creation the openly editable bases of we could pedia is turning out to be more of a curse than a blessing according to a new study by mit in a third of article disputes editors can't agree with each other major issues include poorly articulated initial arguments excessive bickering during discussions and simple lack of interest from third party editors because topics may be too easy to tear it for instance some users who are very passionate about corn apparently

have been fighting over this article for at least a decade which is hardly a surprise because forget anything as complicated as corn the world still can't agree when on the simplest simplest things like what date it is and come on america the whole month here thing makes zero sense let me just get it out there on behalf of the rest of the world and you're welcome but silly disputes are far from the biggest problem we could pedia is facing over it's open a disability there are firms that will help you get your story out there for a modest fee like this company with a straight forward name we keep our investigative journalist helen by in a ski says it manages hundreds of sock puppet accounts which quietly added pages to favor the firm's thousands of clients sock puppets are basically fake accounts that are all run by one person but pretend to be multiple people so what a p.d.f.

there's a disagreement you want to have other people can come in and take your side because it's least in that way it's there is some sort of democratic element to it but the wiki p.r. skinner was mostly because they were very openly advertising their services on this website but private firms. not the only entities with a story to sell the u.s. government cares in a big way about what people on the internet right about it especially on wikipedia in two thousand and seven for example the cia and f.b.i. work used of editing articles about the us invasion of iraq guantanamo bay and the page on one former cia chief the cia by the way didn't confirm the claims but kind the didn't deny them either and it's pretty easy to do that as far as outsourcing the third party it is pig guy and they were just being so obvious about it i mean they thought all is anonymous anybody can do it let's just edit it from our work computers and wherever that's like really bad upset that we one thing if it was disconcerted by a source like just sort of

a trash read that the bathroom wall of the internet i like to call it. but it's not it's considered this sort of holy oracle of truth and it's really anything but and the reason why everyone wants to have their say and we compete is obvious it is indeed a universal reference to regardless of its actual reliability apples and amazons voice assistant siri and alexa draw information from there for their results as do some research is lazy journalists and students with the term paper do overnight and whoever throws more dollars into the furnace effectively has we compete in their pocket and by transitivity anyone who blindly trusts it. one of norway's biggest warships is in danger of sinking after colliding with oil tanker the vessel had to be a fuck you waited eight people were injured been returning from a nato exercise when it hit

a multiuse all tanker and run aground near bergen there were fears of an oil spill near norway's famous fjords but officials say that any leak being contained well in october nato launch large scale military drills in norway involving some fifty troops from thirty one countries also there are hundreds of her craft armored vehicles on dozens of ships but locals are complaining they have left things in a bit of a mess. this is terrible it's about having common decency we have to clean up after soldiers have relieve themselves it's literally.

we have a system for treating this problem the soldiers bring their equipment to clean up afterwards but next time we have a major exercise in the room. sometimes unfortunate things. of course it is not ok for people to relieve themselves in public areas i would like to apologize for. all right it is the weekend so it must be time to check in with lee kemp on the latest redacted tonight it is in them it's a bold take on the week's big stories in moments.

there's no we're building around prick here and no wonder you know why says terrorists. but there are bad memories. twenty four years ago this country saw a real end of the world. after the genocide there in the old women in rwanda that man. fell to women to fix what the man had broken. during the past thirty years lebanon has been subject to six invasions from israel . six invasions at practically every every year every five years we are having. one let's say and this is definitely the kind of thing you had clever.

with your make this manufactured just sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round lives only the one percent zero. nine. i think you know middle of the road six. believe. it's been seventy is since the united nations the don't think universal declaration on human rights but in many places in for mainz a declaration and not to reality how to bridge the divide between practice preaching.
