good to read people should get. a move to the european army as the french president warmly welcomed from paris to the centenary commemorations of the first world war. more divisions among us this time over a video with holding c.n.n. reporter jim acosta some from the material was don't didn't know what is it just by the journalist from the white house. as a radio host in so many children the u.n. wants tens of thousands dying every year as a result of the saudi bombing campaign. and the syrian army rescues

over a dozen hostages from the grip of islamic state while a u.s. report reveals american aid money is ending up in terrorist. acts committed in moscow and you're watching all to international with mean a day or two day welcome to the program. the french president has a woman he welcomed in paris ahead of celebrations commemorating the end of world war one appearing in front of the press tried to show through body language that the bromance between the two heads of state is still alive.

but there was some tension leading up to the presidential tete a tetes just hours before trying to. create its own army dahlia holkins takes up the story. president strong have 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 marked 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 u.s. china and russia very insulting but perhaps europe should first pay its fair share

of nato which the u.s. subsidizes greatly but 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 their 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 instead of hurt you have the european security to be being assured just lines the united states and we need a much bigger version of you would use it for you surely you know my attitude has been we want to show your true employees do things through you think the general way we can do it the best thing. most if you read something more so as the u.s.

president arrived in the french capital it was all smiles handshakes for the cameras but this misunderstanding by far isn't the only sticking point between the two leaders the iran nuclear deal. pulling out of the 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 are going to start. pulling out of the paris club. as well commemoration is the official reason of the gathering here in paris today but keep pressing international issues to discuss behind the scenes the question is will progress be made on those issues. be created. president putin and german chancellor merkel are among the sixty high profile figures expected to attend commemorations set to take the weekend the main immoral event will be on the eleventh of november the date the shooting stopped at

the altar in the french capital microland nations where enemies during the conflict are held hands together at the site where the armistice ending the war with. the british prime minister joined. the force of the great war in which over fourteen million people were killed. now president trump has had his say over. inappropriate behavior at a white house press conference he defended a twitter post that apparently shows reporter jim acosta. tried to ask the president follow up questions the u.s. is split over the issue with 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 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 that's an ask one of the other folks that stood out for me ma'am i miss resident 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 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 good 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 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 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 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. continues in the mini poll to have had today as the city led coalition attempts to wrest control of the city from the i think happened. the u.n. says thousands of people are trapped in the perceived area intensifying fighting comes despite warnings from aid groups about a humanitarian catastrophe that riyadh denies any deliberate targeting civilians. issued a warning that children in the area at imminent risk of death. 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 all day

will have. consequences not only for the hundreds of thousands of children here in the whole day who may be called 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 u.n. 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 the deadly campaign against them since twenty 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 the message has backfired as trying to report. 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 that photo 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 trained now. sees the orse canadian 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 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 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 in 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 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.

to the. h.g.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 is no surprise everyone. really. traveling through northern syria have to pay to pass checkpoints beads 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 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 kits with millions of dollars to ineligible beneficiaries including

terry are 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 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 and these are n.g.o.s 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 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 because 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 jihad this pts. deadly wildfires devastating california and the curse of being able to edit any page out of this break.

during the past thirty years lebanon has been subject to six invasions from israel . six invasions. and really every five years we are having. one and this is definitely coming to your health club. join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm sure both of those i'll see you there.

welcome back to the program massive wildfires in california have claimed the lives of at least eleven people and been found at the most devastating in the u.s. state's history more than two hundred fifty thousand people have been forced to flee their homes as the fast moving flames rages through the area ports a 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're concerned the intense winds and low humidity could feel them for. 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 science in a 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 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 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 date 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 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 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 come out 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 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 of didn't deny them either and it's pretty easy to do that as far as outsourcing a third party if you just pay a guy and 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 keep petey's obvious it is indeed a universal reference to regardless of its actual reliability apple's and amazon's voice assistant siri and alexa draw information from therefore 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 compete in their pocket and by transitivity anyone who blindly trusts it. a spy saga is unfolding on the streets of britain at least according to one think tank says every second russian and the u.k. is working as surveillance operatives. on her own investigative mission for the show in case you missed it. the british capital is teeming with

by or 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. mrs rice by surprise by 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 after all it's simply a means to make clear that every other 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 but

you know the real truth through really through the russian marketing sites using very nice russian shot are you know the ocean shield here so using the russian spies are in there are you. know everywhere now. round up of the news for a closer look at any of our stories do check out our website. other back at the top of the hour with more but first time for a documentary called microsoft. it's been seventy years since the united nations adopted the universal declaration on human rights but in many places it remains a declaration and not a reality how to bridge the divide between practice and preaching.
