well. the old vision starts in the walls and stools the front is up in these parts of the spine. more divisions emerge in the u.s. this time over a video involving c.n.n. reporter jim acosta with claims the material was doctored in order to justify the banning of the journalists from the white house. plus the outcry of saudi arabia post a tweet in support of yemeni children for the u.n. warns tens of thousands die every year as a result of the saudi bombing campaign. also this hour the syrian army rescues over a dozen hostages from the grip of islamic state while u.s. report reveals american aid money is spending up in the terrorist pockets. and nato marks its territory with a sinking ship and by defra caving and public places host nation norway complains

the alliance has left the country and the mess following large scale drills there. this is r t international coming to you live from the russian capital this saturday afternoon welcome to the program. president trump has had his say over a c.n.n. journalist accused of inappropriate behavior at a white house press conference he defended a twitter post that apparently shows reporter jim acosta pushing the arm of an intern as he tries to ask the president followup questions the u.s. is split over the issue with some claiming the video has been doctored in order to justify banning a cost from the white house the video was posted by trump's press secretary sarah sanders and shows a close up version of events c.n.n. claims the cost of never touch the intern and called the whole incident
8:02 am
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 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
8:03 am
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 in turn 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 don't say 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 to 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 looking marginally different so where is the truth americans are probably reminded of the famous dress controversy in the photograph of one looked at it one way it was black and blue and another way it was
8:04 am
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 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 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
8:05 am
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 there that's from the u.n. high commissioner for human rights the un earlier issued a direct warning that children and the yemeni port city of data are at 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 from lines of a brutal war a brutal war against children children have already suffered three men this need continue doing so so any escalation of the conflict affecting the day will have brutal consequences not only for do hundreds of thousands of children here in the whole day who may be caught in the middle of the conflict but it will
8:06 am
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 they are trying go 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
8:07 am
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 even these one of the worst places to be as china right now because he's the number of children minorities two million and the
8:08 am
number of two that don't have access to one 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 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
8:09 am
certainly feel for the plight of yemenis at the moment and the best way that could be shown in real terms rather than with posters is if the bombing campaign in 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 women and children there is no question that there is 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 started arriving in france where the one hundredth
8:10 am
anniversary of the end of the first world war is being marked commemorations are set to take place throughout the weekend the french president is playing host to over sixty heads of state and foreign dignitaries including president donald trump the two have just met in paris president putin and chancellor merkel are among the other high profile figures expected. on friday the british prime minister joined emanuel 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 a first world war french military hero who later became a prominent nazi collaborator politicians and members of the jewish community blasted him across for his quote shocking and insulting remarks about one of the
8:11 am
country's darkest chapters 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 leaving france and collaborating with the nazis you know could do 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
8:12 am
a man who it must be remembered was himself responsible for the deportation of jews from france also macron spokes person 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.

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 had been held for over three months but have now returned home. it is. on. the 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. picks 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
8:14 am
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 a year al sharm a designated foreign terrorist organization.
8:15 am
h.t.s. nusra front they have many names in short al-qaeda is wing in syria facts of the matter that they were benefiting from u.s. taxpayer money is 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 assume 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 is light on names and
8:16 am
numbers perhaps for political reasons the fallout here could seriously damage and geo operations all we know is that millions of dollars in cash and 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. he's working on the ground in syria basically providing the prostate cancer and the corporation of the regime change current policy surely the year i should first of all be left an economic sanctions and it should be if it's necessary be collaborating with the syrian government to provide the areas where it's most needed i don't expect this to happen it regardless it's a sick and
8:17 am
a sad joke on the american taxpayer trillions of their hard earned 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 ists still to come here on our team international nato's drills in norway it leave behind a trail of mayhem and some very angry locals get the details on that story and more after a short break. player .
8:18 am
i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime tamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be all for rich eight point six percent market so thirty percent from last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one doesn't show you know or to miss the one and only.

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 it has more now on the site and our workings wikipedia is a free encyclopedia based on a model of openly editable content 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. a 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 mit in a third of article disputes editors can't agree with each other major issues
8:20 am
include poorly articulated initial arguments excessive bickering during discussions and simple lack of interest from third party editors because topics may be too easy 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 straightforward name we keep our investigative journalist helen by he says it
8:21 am
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'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 open. advertising their services on this website but private firms are not the only entities with a story to sell the us 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 of didn't deny them either and it's pretty
8:22 am
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 the we one thing if it was just considered a biased source 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. voice assistant siri and alexa draw information from there for their results to do some research is lazy journalists and students with a term paper due overnight and whoever throws more dollars into the furnace effectively has we compete in their pocket and by transitivity anyone who blindly
