a sinking ship and by death accounting and public place the host nation norway complains the alliance has left the country and the mess on large scale drills there. you're watching r t international for your global news update welcome to the program and thanks for joining us this hour. president trump has had his say over a c.n.n. journalist accused of inappropriate behavior and a white house press conference he defended a twitter post that apparently shows reporter jim acosta pushing the arm of an in turn as he tries to ask the president follow up questions the u.s. is split over the issue with some claiming the video has been doctored in order to justify banning acosta from the white house the video was posted by trump's press secretary of sarah sanders and shows a close up version of events c.n.n.

claims acosta never touched the in turn and called the whole incident a threat to democracy here's how the situation unfolded at the presser. 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 on this question that's enough the president the other folks that said now 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 known as info 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 don't say that it isn't sped up it isn't slowed down all i did was to me look at it again is this an example of symbol don't ring to clip to change its meaning no it's virtually identical is it wont hundred percent identical no video compression is going to result in it looking marginally different so where is the truth americans are probably reminded of the famous dressed controversy in

the photograph of 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 or now we have a. whole rising 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 to i 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 the 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. nearly seven thousand civilians have died in yemen since the beginning of the conflict that's when the u.n. high commissioner for human rights the u.n. earlier issued a direct warning that children and the yemen port city of her data are at him in minute 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 from lines of a brutal war a brutal war against children children have already suffered tremendously if continue doing so so any escalation of the conflict affect things or they will have brutal consequences not only for the hundreds of thousands of children

here in the whole day who may be caught in the middle of the conflict but will have consequences for the millions of children throughout yemen who are counting on the supplies coming in through who day to help them to survive the un also states that thirty thousand children die every year in the country from malnutrition describing the conflict as a living hell saudi arabia which has been leading a deadly campaign against the rebels there since two thousand and fifteen say they're trying to reduce civilian deaths kingdom's foreign ministry even posted on twitter that they stand for the children of yemen but the message has backfired as 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 op and that tweet probably

because the reality for most children there looks more like this. or this there's 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 it was places to be as

china right now because he's the or their number of children minorities two million and the number of two that don't have access want the same with 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 yemen are these the children you plan to drop bombs on next should that not read we stand on yemen just imagine the tweet of the nazi foreign ministry on september nineteenth thirty nine saying we

stand with poland that's crazy. there may be people within saudi arabia who certainly feel for the plight of yemenis at the moment and the best way that could be shown in real terms rather than with posted this is if the bombing campaign on yemeni families stopped if we saw that then i would find it much easier to believe that there is sincere concern for the safety and lives of the children there is no question that this significant contributions to the humanitarian plan made by saudi arabia and the u.a.e. this year have been well received by the humanitarian community without that money we wouldn't have been able to pull it together without the funds from other countries and reach people with eight however this is not a you break it you buy it sort of arrangement that money doesn't come close to absolving the saudi led coalition of the of responsibility for the number of deaths being caused the illness and the long term damage being done to yemen as

a country. world leaders have begun arriving in france where the one hundredth anniversary of the end of the first world war is being marked commemorations are set to take place throughout the week the french president is playing host to over sixty heads of state and foreign dignitaries including donald trump the two are meeting at the moment in paris president putin and chancellor merkel are among the other high profile figures expected. on friday the british prime minister joined emmanuel mccrone in 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 at the arc de triomphe in the french capital. however the commemorations come out an awkward time for the french president he triggered a wave of criticism this week after announcing plans to honor its first world war french military hero who later became a prominent nazi collaborator politicians and members of the jewish community

blasted for quote his shocking and insult. remarks about one of the country's darkest chapters of quarter reports. french president emmanuel macron is facing a backlash after he endorsed honoring the french world war one military leader philip it tame for armistice day the thing is though petain is also responsible for leaving france and collaborating with the nazis you know could i am not concealing any part of history and martial petain 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 to 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 certain 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.

in the u.s. wildfires across california have led to the deaths of nine people with many more injured and missing thousands of buildings have been destroyed and president trump has declared a state of emergency a quarter of a million people have been evacuated from their homes across the region reports say the fast moving wildfires have destroyed an entire town and are currently moving in on malibu conic beachfront area is home to many celebrities whose mansions are in the path of the blaze. the syrian army says it has rescued over a dozen hostages from islamic state during a military operation near the city of palmira the captives have been held since july but have now returned to their hometowns. goes to. zero zero zero. zero zero zero zero.

zero zero zero zero zero 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' own pockets i've got to fix up 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 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 be that 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 king. it's worth millions of dollars to eligible beneficiaries including. fighters the report itself light on names and numbers perhaps for political reasons the fallout here could seriously damage and operations all we know is that millions of dollars just what they've admitted they found funding has now been terminated but it's very interesting in this report is that the u.s. aid 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. he's working on the ground in syria basically providing the prostate cancer and the corporation of the regime change current policy surely the or i should first of all be left on economic sanctions and it should be if it's necessary be collaborating with the syrian government to provide aid to the areas where it's most needed i don't expect this to happen irregardless it's a sick and sad joke on the american taxpayer trillions of their hard money spent on the war on terror originally on defeating al qaida and all the while they've been paying to feed and finance those very same jihad this pts. still to come in the program may those drills in norway leave behind a trail of mayhem and some very angry locals all the details on that story and more

after this short break. it's been seventy years since the united nations adopted the universal declaration on human rights but in many places in remains a declaration and not a reality how to bridge the divide between practice and preaching. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes

protect themselves. with the famous merry go round me the one percent. nor middle of the room. this is art international welcome back to the program the online encyclopedia wikipedia may be the go to resource to end your quiz night disputes but just how much of the content is actually correct because download has more now on the site's inner workings wikipedia is a free encyclopedia based on a model of open. only 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 encyclopedia trying to be a 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 wikipedia is turning out to be more of a curse than a blessing according to a new study by m.i.t. 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 on the simplest simplest things like what date it is and come on america the whole month day 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 at its ability 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 nist he says it manages hundreds of sockpuppet accounts which quietly added pages to favor the firms 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 is it's. agreement you want to have other people can come in and take your side because it's in that way it's there is some sort of democratic element to it

but the wiki p.r. skinless mostly because they were very openly advertising their services on this website but private firms are not the only entities with a story to sell the u.s. government cares in a big way about what people on the internet royd about it especially on wikipedia in two thousand and seven for example the cia and f.b.i. work used to sing articles about the u.s. 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 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 so we one thing if it was just considered a biased source like just sort of a trash read 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 voice assistant siri and alexa draw information from the 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 could pocket and by transitivity anyone who blindly trust. one of norway's biggest warships is in danger of sinking after colliding with an oil tanker vessel had to be evacuated and eight people were injured it had been returning from a nato exercise when it hit a multi its oil tanker and ran aground there were fears of an oil spill near norway is famous for. but officials say that any leak has been contained in october nato launched a large scale military drills in norway involving some fifty thousand troops from

thirty one countries also there hundreds of aircraft armored vehicles and dozens of ships but now locals are complaining they've left things 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 a job. we have a system for treating this problem the soldiers bring their equipment to clean up afterwards but that's time we have a major exercise you must tighten the roof. sometimes

unfortunate things out. of course it is not ok for people to relieve themselves in public areas i would like to apologize for it. that's been a snapshot of the day's top headlines for now but you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like facebook and twitter for up to the minute reports thanks for tuning in. twenty four to you know bloody revolution to. the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous. or is it just no lawyer i mean your list book video of clue in the new bill is out of the new split needle the former ukrainian president recalls

the events of twenty four g. and. those who took. it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. just supposed to sleep while. my little course on the syria. role is going to say i support a business with the most disorder because. this is needed with folks who. want to show up on the shuttle bus noel because i am.

not. going to see that because the way the deal but you also look at the model you punish diplo it's most it's a small shows just the moon somos the. moon when you must. do. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy glue foundation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. ok to kill time time to sit down and talk.

for ninety three percent of you who have come to i do them out of my head pretty impressive right well redact and i become as you know we're americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. and start with the good news from these were our final midterms that's exciting right the last one we did it last midterm so some good news kris kobach who was the king of election fraud and scott walker who is the king of sucking koch brothers. thank. you thank you did i give you the rover that news all over my zell the backyard you newspaper with a reporter there yes thank you. thank you for the sun don't

back in july. and i'll give you one more piece of good news from these midterms before i fall over them because the democrats have won the house of representatives that means a on certain issues there will be gridlock and. if this was a guy i love it when our corrupt corporate owned ruling elites are able to do horrible things. i hope their exam jobs tschiderer than a pickle g.-r. in negative temperatures while your hands are covered in baby oil that would be would be awesome but at that point you have to ask yourself why was i furiously trying to obtain a pickle with hands covered in baby oil. what has my life become so gridlock is good but let's talk about some of the more century.
