put aside. over a muted european army as the french president morley welcomes donald trump to paris for the centenary commemorations of the first world war. more divisions emerge in the u.s. this time over a video involving c.n.n. reporter jim acosta some time the material was doctored in order to justify the bombing of the journalist from the white house. saudi arabia a tweet in support of yemeni children where the u.n. warns tens of thousands die every year as a result of the saudi bombing campaign. and the syrian army

rescues over a dozen hostages from the grip of islamic states while u.s. report reveals american aid money is ending up in terrorist pockets. and you're watching altie international with me in a day or two to welcome to the program. the french president has a womanly trump and paris ahead of celebrations commemorating the end of world war one appearing in front of the press and money on try to show through body language that the bromance between the two heads of state is still alive.

but there was some tension up to the presidential tete a tete just hours before. the story. president struck crowd i've always been fond of emphasizing their close personal friendship was well as the importance of the transatlantic alliance that was very much emphasized during my visit to the united states back in twenty seventeen but since then things haven't gone so smoothly over seventy world leaders have gathered here in the french capital 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 colleague and friend emmanuel. president micron of france has just suggested that europe to build its own military in order to protect itself from the us 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 referring to the interview given by micron earlier in the week in which she expressed support for a joint european army a 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 trouble did arrive in paris the leaders tried to smooth things over saying there was no problem with even micron's office admitting the remarks may have caused just a little confusion since it was heard to have the european security to be be assured of just lines the united states and we need much bigger than you would use it for you surely you know my attitude is going we want to show your true for you to see through you. whichever way we can do it the best the most efficiently

something that you both want so as the u.s. president arrived 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 the 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 they're all keep pressing international issues to discuss behind the scenes and the question is will progress be made on those issues or will more stumbling blocks be created. president trump has had his say over a c.n.n. journalist accused of inappropriate behavior at a white house press conference he defended the twitter post that's apparently shows

reporter jim acosta pushing the arm of an intern as he tries to follow up questions the u.s. is a split over the issue with some claiming the video has been doctored in order to justify a costa from the white house the video was posted by trump's press secretary sarah saunders and shows a close up version of events and claims costa never touched the interned 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 telling 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 are. going to ask one of the other folks that. this president that's enough the president the other folks that. 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 by jim acosta but by that young white house aide if you can use a video use a fake video if you go all the way do something like this. 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 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 differ. on it 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

to me look at it again is this an example of so little doctoring the clip to change its meaning no it's virtually identical is it one 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 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 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 as seven thousand civilians have died in yemen since the beginning of the conflict from the u.n. high commissioner for human rights issue to director warning that children in the port city of one hundred. in and risk of death segment comes off to the side that 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 continue doing so so any escalation of the conflict affecting their day will have. 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 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. and also stay is that thirty thousand children die every year in the country from malnutrition describing the conflict as living how saudi arabia which has been leading a campaign against her since twenty fifteen say they're trying to reduce civilian deaths the kingdom's foreign ministry even posted on twitter that they stand for

the children of yemen but the message has backfired as i 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 the yemenis one of the worst places to be as china right now because he's the number of children minorities two million 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 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 posters is if the bombing campaign on yemeni family 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 are 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 other 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. 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.

other terror groups are also present in the war torn country and some of them even have access to foreign funding and recent report has revealed that u.s. aid money is actually lining the terrorists' own pockets wide gal's death picks up the story american taxpayer money cash that is almost wholly in the u.s. mindset inviolable money that 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. aid organizations civilians. traveling through northern syria have to pay to pass checkpoints be that money in goods this is been a frag few years it's business one of the terrorists' main sources of funding worst of all it is assumed that these jihad lists have been able to infiltrate put their people in a 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 kits worth millions of dollars to eligible beneficiaries including terrier 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 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 point counter in the corporation of. regime change current policy surely the year 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. i don't expect this to happen irregardless it's a sick and 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 job. we look at the deadly wildfires devastating california on the cusp of being able to edit any with a pedia page after this break. you

know world big part of the law. it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. during the past thirty years lebanon has been subject to six invasions from israel . six invasions. every really every five years we are

having. one and this is definitely coming through you have never. welcome back to the massive wildfires in california have claimed the lives of at least nine people and been probably the most devastating in the us state's history more than two hundred fifty thousand people have been forced to flee their homes as a fast moving blaze rages through the area reports say the fire has destroyed an entire city and burned thousands of homes to the ground firefighters are working around the clock to contain the wildfires but say they're concerned that intense winds and low humidity could feel them further. now the online encyclopedia with media may be the go to resource to enjoy. but just

how much of the content is actually correct. hugo isn't out of has more on the site inner workings. wikipedia 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 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 necessity says it manages hundreds of sockpuppet we could pedia accounts which quietly added

pages to favor the firms. of clients sock puppets are basically fake accounts that are all run by one person but pretend to be multiple people so if there's a disagreement you want to have other people come 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 right 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 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 amazons voice assistant siri and alexa draw information from the 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. spice our there is unfolding on the streets of britain at least

according to one think tank that says every second is working as. valence operatives play both of those on their own investigative for the show in case you missed it. the british capital is teeming with by war as the neo conservative think tank the henry jackson society calls them russians. and the explosive putin sees and his it all report estimates it may could be as many as seventy five thousand so-called informants routinely helping. the sez i rise by surprise surprise surprise 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's simply aims to make clear that every all the russian is probably a spy they could also be masquerading as normal people like us.

little people too. are you a russian spy it's like. you do i look like yeah. yeah but you know the real truth through really through the russian marketing sites using their noses russian shop you know the russians for years so using the russian spies are in there are you. know everywhere now. that's a roundup of the news if you want to have a close look at any of our stories do check us out on our website that's called i'll be back at the top of the oh but first it's right back said tonight.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter you have over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like color orange happy each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but.

there's no way around the break here and no one to know why says a terrorist. bad memories. twenty four years ago this country saw a real look at end of the world. after the genocide there a mob women in rwanda that man. the women to fix the broken. it's been seventy is this the united nations or don't think universal declaration on human rights but in many places in for maine's a declaration to reality how to bridge the divide between practice teaching.

from ninety three percent of year. welcome to i do them out of my at pretty rough right were redacted 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 a last minute so some good news kris kobach who was the king of election fraud and scott walker who was the king of sucking koch brothers. yes i did i gave you the role of that news all over my zell but if i can't give a newspaper with

back in july. and i 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 to gridlock is good but let's talk about some of the more centered sides of this midterm election the major.
