report reveals american aid money is ending up in terrorist pockets. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q thank you for joining us this hour for a global news update. the french president has warmly welcomed donald trump in paris ahead of celebrations commemorating the end of world war one appearing in front of the press emanuel mccrone trying to show through body language that the bromance between the two heads of state is still alive. we were thinking.

there were some hiccups leading up to the meeting just hours before trump lashed out on social media over mccrone suggestion that europe should create its own army cannot cross live to daniel hawkins in pairs daniel tell us how are the two leaders getting on so far. all presidents trump in my craw and i have long been fond of their very close personal friendship as well as emphasizing the importance of the transatlantic at lloyd's that was sealed of course last years are micron's first official visit to the united states how simple things seemed but then since then things have not gone so smoothly as it was seventy world leaders gather here in paris to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the end of the first world war trump marked his arrival by taking as usual to twitter to say he was insulted by none other than his great friend president michael mis is what he wrote. president micron of france has just suggested that europe to build its

own military in order to protect itself from the u.s. china and russia very insulting but perhaps europe should first pay its fair share of nato which the us subsidizes greatly. but those comments of course refer to the interview gave earlier this week on the radio to which he said he favored the creation of a joint european military tosk force in line country toss force to address various threats civilian about to asians that she'll disasters and also defending from a state threats with one particular country and usually thrown into that list. we need a europe which defends itself better alone without just depending on the united states in a more sovereign manner. and micron is the european integration is to use long favored the creation of an independent european military force aside from nato to

address these issues and that really seems to have riled trump very much who has previously of course criticized the lack of nato contributions from some european countries as trump arrives here in paris it was all as we saw earlier smiles handshakes thumbs up like how more but the key differences do remain very much behind the scenes the wrong nuclear deal for one of them has been a key steeping sticking point with frost germany the u.k. expressing regret and concern in a joint statement that the u.s. was pulling out of that issue trade tariffs have been one particular sticking point as well not to mention of course trucks pulling out of the twenty fifty paris climate accords which was roundly criticized by many european leaders commemoration is of course the main reason the world leaders have gathered here in paris this weekend but everybody knows there are key pressing international issues to discuss unresolved behind the scenes and with these differences remaining the question is

can they come to some sort of consensus or will simply more stumbling blocks be created over the next day or so. parties daniel hawkins in paris thank you for bringing us that report. staying with donald trump the president 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. to 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 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 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 why but that's an ask one of the other folks that said now for me ma'am i'm miss resident that's enough the president the other folks have 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 acosta 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 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 doctored 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 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 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 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 u.n. earlier issued a direct warning that the children and the yemeni port city of data are an imminent risk of death 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. consequences not only for do hundreds of thousands of children in the whole day who may be caught in the middle of the conflict but it 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 at that they stand for the children of yemen but the message has backfired . 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 worst places to be as china right now. sees the order to the number of children minorities two million and the number of two that and don't have access to 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 daughter 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 pastas 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 women and 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 with all 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. 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. to the world. no zero

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 sharm a designated foreign terrorist organization. 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 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 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. important and i can i. he's working on the ground in syria basically providing the prostate cancer in the corporation. regime change current policy surely the year i should have over left an 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 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 qaida and all the while they've been paying to

feed and finance those very same jihad ists still to come nato's drills in norway it leave behind a trail of mayhem and some very angry locals the details on that story and more after a short break. you know world big partisan movies. and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round lifts and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room. welcome back the online encyclopedia wikipedia may be the go to resource to earn your quiz night disputes but just how much of the content is actually correct if your star love has more now on the sites and are working with the 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 encyclopedia trying to be a really solid stable kind of place ironically the found over we could pedia is one of the few people who sees the. encyclopedic value of his creation the openly editable bases of we keep pedia 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 when on the simplest simplest things like what date it is and come on america the whole month of the year 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 look at 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. 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 us government cares in a big way about what people on the internet write 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 that 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 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 do in their 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 the vessel had to be evacuated and eight people were injured had been returning from a nato exercise when it hit a multis oil tanker and ran aground there were fears of an oil spill near norway is

afterwards but that's why we have a major exercise you must take in the room. sometimes unfortunate things often which are not of course it is not ok for people to relieve themselves in public areas i would like to apologize for it. but it's been a stop shot of the day's top headlines for now they 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. that's good earth but survival guide book stacy goes to the store simply to.

a laureate all this and more coming up in today's going on the ground for us to raise i'm a stands in silence today to commemorate british wars of the royal albert hall i mean thousands of u.k. veterans homeless and a noticeable lack of publicized see that the german revolution ended world war one in the real world vladimir putin prepares to meet donald trump tomorrow in paris before a big a meeting of the g. twenty. see this is the week when president mccraw unveiled plans for a real e.u. me. but i've. been president he couldn't afford. much of the security to go he couldn't because it was picked up you know many want to of well we know of the four different the thirty's on the panel said not that it is unique so the e.u. is creating an independent army on the hundredth anniversary of a war to end all wars that killed or wounded more than forty million what could go wrong and why was the politician who is arguably had more influence on britain's future than any other nigel farage laughed at by u.k.

media and join claude young when he said this three years ago mr young said we must convey to russia that we are serious who do you think you are kidding mr young we do don't want any part of an e.u. army and i doubt the rest of the peoples of europe do either for. the left of arguably being much more keen on improving trade ties with the former colonial developing world than creating armies in nations that sparked not one but two world wars for those like tony benn bricks it was always about democracy i think that the power to govern ourselves must remain with the british people co-operate worldwide trade will join the united nations be members of the international community but the umbilical cord that links the lawmakers with the people and you destroy the stability of this country and well stability will be a subject in singapore tomorrow when leaders from russia the us and you're in china

convene to discuss the future of the planet that's followed by apec summit in papua new guinea again the usa russia and china will be present we'll get the perspective of a u.k. government advisor on china later in the show but before that to the midterms which british media arguably suggests demonstrate donald trump's decline even though the g.o.p. won seats in the senate joining me now via skype from atlanta georgia is the green party twenty sixteen presidential candidate joe miller. thanks for coming back on record breaking turnout but still more people didn't vote than voted what is the point of u.s. elections. it is to determine every two or four years what set of oppressors will be putting in office and i hate to sound like that but in essence because of the very real limitations of us democracy that make it very difficult for any political challenge to take place beyond the two parties then people are basically stuck with having to participate.
