report reveals american aid money is ending up in terrorist pockets. this is r t international coming to life from the russian capital this saturday welcome to the program 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. the. weekly review. 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 life now to daniel hawkins in paris daniel how are the two leaders getting on so far. the president's jump on my call i've always been fond of emphasizing the close personal friendship as well as the importance of the transatlantic alliance that was sealed during my call his visit to be united states last year since then though things have not gone so smoothly over seventy european leaders have gathered here in paris over the weekend the weekend to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the end of the first world war trump marks his arrival by taking to twitter to say he felt insulted by none other than his personal friend of mine all my. president micron of france has just suggested that europa 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. the troubles of course are foreign to the interview given by the week in which she expressed support for a joint european all mean military force to defend the mainland from a range of threats one of which was perhaps a surprise on that list. we need a europe which defends itself better alone without just depending on the united states in a more sovereign manner. when trump did arrive in paris the leaders tried to smooth things over saying there was no problem with even micron's office admitting the remarks might have caused just a little confusion. since i deserve to have the european security to be be assured of just mines the united states and we need to move because there's room for you when you say are you sure you don't want mine to drill you and we want

to show your true employer through you which ever way we can do it because in most issues you can be something you both want so as the u.s. president arrives in the french capital it was all smiles handshakes and thumbs up for the cameras but this misunderstanding by far isn't the only sticking point between the two leaders the iran nuclear deal for one the pulling out of that agreement by the united states was roundly criticized with france germany the u.k. issuing a statement of concern and regret not to mention trade tariffs have been a stumbling block as well and pulling out of the paris club as holds trump as well commemoration is the official reason of the gathering here in paris today but the rocky pressing international issues to discuss behind the scenes the question is will progress be made on those issues more stumbling blocks be created. hawkins reporting live from paris thank you for the update. 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 follow up questions the u.s. has 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 acosta never touched the in turn 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 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 stood out 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 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 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 the 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. at 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 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 there that's when the u.n. high commissioner for human rights the u.n. 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 tremendously if continue doing so so any escalation of the conflict affect things for days 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 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 hooty 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 back has backfired as in the trunk of 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 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 it was police astutely as china right now. sees the order to the 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 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 the 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 women and children there

is no question that there's 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. 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 for over three months but have now returned home. oh. no it was it was zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero. zero zero zero zero zero

zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero was. 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 on 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 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. 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 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. he's working on the ground in syria basically providing the prostate cancer 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 cooperating 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 qaida and all the while they've been paying to feed and finance those very same jihad ists. hundreds of thousands have fled the path of raging wildfires in california more on that right after this

short break. what holds if you should. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to express. some want to. achieve right. this is what the. real people are. interested always in the war. there should.

come back massive wildfires in california have claimed the lives of at least nine people and been branded the most devastating in the us state's history more than two hundred fifty thousand people have been forced to flee their homes as the fast moving blaze rages through the area reports say the fire has destroyed an entire city and burned thousands of houses to the ground firefighters are working around the clock to contain the wildfires but say they are concerned that intense winds

and low humidity could feel them further. the online encyclopedia wikipedia may be the go to resource to own your quiz night disputes but just how much of the content is actually correct your style of has more now on the site's inner workings . we keep 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 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 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 call 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 we could pedia accounts which quietly added pages to favor the firms thousands of clients sock puppets are basically fake accounts that are. run by one person but pretend to be multiple people so we can p.d.f. there's a disagreement 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. skinner was 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 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 when 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 disconcerted by a source like just sort of the trash 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 amazon's 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 through is more dollars into the furnace effectively has we competed in their pocket and by transitivity anyone who blindly

trust. a spy saga is unfolding on the streets of britain at least according to one think tank that says every second russian in the u.k. is working as surveillance operatives oh boy goes on her own investigative mission for the show in case you missed it. the british capital is teaming with by poor as the neo conservative think tank the henry jackson society calls them russians. and the explosive putin sees and his it all report estimates and they could be as many as seventy five thousand so-called informants routinely helping. the sez i rise by spies by spies by of course this tour de force which is based on anonymous sources taking wild guesses isn't aimed at creating cheap headlines or fear mongering at all it

simply aims to make clear that every all the russian is probably a spy they could also be moscow raising as normal people like this pos. little people too. are you a russian spy it's like. you do i look like yeah. yeah but you know the real throughput really through the russian marketing sites using their noses russian shot are you know the russians will do so using the russian spies are in there are you. know they are everywhere now. that's our breakdown of the day's top news for the details on all those stories and more at our website r.t. dot com thanks for tuning in.

well that's not happening like the markets are continuing to decline and where the share buybacks are they going to help us i think the rest of the markets are going to save investor as well hasn't happened but so far over the first ten months companies bought back about three hundred fifty billion dollars of their own shares an average of thirty five billion dollars a month but the really important thing here is he looks at i.b.m. in particular and what i.b.m. has done to the fortunes of their company through share buybacks that share buybacks are pushed on to these companies as investors want them buy shares bought back do it do it do it do it's going to help us well in fact let's take a gander at international business machines i.b.m. one of the biggest share buyback queens since two thousand it blew one hundred forty six billion dollars on share buybacks the chart below shows the cumulative amount since.
