putin that started funding something called the internet research agency this is serious said who was the proof how are her hold on i forget opinion piece. well you know it's just like. your opinion the center piece in the k.g.b.'s seven commandments on fake news find a crack in society create a lie screw big nobody would believe that it was made up wrap it in the kernel of truth conceal your hand as if the story came from someone else find a useful idiot deny everything and play the long game inevitably of course we get in on rubble mention isn't it nice to have your own t.v. show wow that does it they got us stellar journalism mit except you know. i have this nagging feeling this doubt the k.g.b.

playbook that they claim to have exposed to fits one story even better to this probably new york times style commandment one the crack in society donald trump new york times is personal enemy. commandment to the outlandish lie donald trump the president of the united states of america is a russian spy check commandment three sprinkle of truth everyone moves donald trump met with the russians he's been to moscow checks out c'mon meant for concealed. the anonymous sources unnamed officials political experts they all seem to spend more time talking to the press than doing anything else check come on month five find a useful idiot hope come on this is too easy his opponents will believe anything about trump remember the secret dossier that said he hide who gets to peel in

a bed check come on six deny everything check we didn't reveal anybody reported c.n.n. or because he did well you know again you're going to. first but i'm going to. you know when c.n.n. did come on and seven play the long game that's what they've been doing the endless cycle of stories about russian hackers speak news invasions aggression it's been loam all right. seven commandments have been followed faith is strong father in fake news heaven hallowed be thy name you can it's come you news be done on earth as on the internet. a terrorist group in syria is claiming to have united rival factions to fight the government in easily province this comes as the russian foreign ministry accuses

so-called moderate rebels of helping extremists violate an internationally mediated buffer zone agreement in the tranquil investigates syria's provinces still an unbelievably complicated melting pot of anti assad militias from those known as syria's moderate rebels to internationally recognized terrorists like. al shabab probably the mightiest group it's the former nusra front otherwise it in syria should ring a bell. well a so-called spokesman for the armed wing of that same tough. has given an interview there are many. who feels like.

the man didn't come up with any kind of full list of who's involved but kept repeating everyone in the free lands that's how he refers to areas not controlled by damascus question if we are to believe the guy have the lines between terrorists and moderates been blurred completely an adlib technically there's a ceasefire between the government and the rebels and a buffer zone in the province right now it was brokered by turkey and russia and eventually backed by france and germany the buffer zone is meant to be free of any terrorists but if it is the terrorists that are now taking control of a joint command center for everyone how does the cease fire deal make sense anyway . at least you're going to zation the program's guest works and fights for doesn't seem to have any intention of laying their guns down and show no one would you who

he said have been. and then we. have a. home. total this video also deserves a quick look to the right at the interview or some t.v. stations used to love having be lobdell karim on air people executed it's as simple as that what can i do here and see a blend in the crowd i don't think so am i going to turn my so over to the regime forces absolutely not i know some of them. i'm after a night i spent some. time sometimes you will hear someone say that they are part of al-qaeda but what is their real affiliation to al qaeda other than some romantic notion to be honest with you he was one of those who were one sending out last messages from besieged aleppo before death from assad's bombs here in besieged

aleppo. we may not be able to send anyone messages as regime forces push closer this might be close to if not be a last communication but his reports have since kept coming and he was even accused of links to al qaida something he has denied c.n.n. actually try to distance themselves from a bill karim and one of their more recent documentaries well november twenty. know problem getting access to interviewing a high profile figure of tough we're all shot aka. aka al qaeda in syria journalist patrick believes that by supporting moderate rebel groups western powers are also. italy assisting terrorists now you have effectively a consolidation of all the militants under one terrorist. effectively

so if the west is going to intervene diplomatically if the us is going to want to stop syria from retaking its own territory and its allies who are helping them do that then effectively they're taking the side of of a terrorist. concept officially according to h.t.s. el nusra front in charge al-qaeda affiliate all under their control now so anymore and if they were moderate yesterday they're not moderate today syrian army russia turkey. even the u.s. everyone has to accept the fact that it lived as a terrorist occupied. region right now. a group of members of angle of michael's youth party have spot outrage and then after being caught singing a nazi era song and shouting homophobic slurs the incident allegedly took place and this month on the anniversary of the infamous nine hundred thirty eight not seen paul graham against years. you.

know the controversial vest of old song is originally from nine hundred thirty two when it was frequently sung by nazi soldiers during invasions including that of france and of the netherlands it remained part of germany's official military song book until just last year around fifteen youth party members were caught singing the festival old drawing condemnation from politicians. to sing popular a very marked song on the eightieth anniversary of the november programs a stunning i'm ashamed of the j. ews brunches to sing it very much so that was sung during the invasion of belgium luxembourg and france is not acceptable this is not my j u the local chapter of the cd used youth wing party has issued an apology for the disturbances caused by its members at the bar although it dismissed any wrongdoing describing the nazi era

tune as a german folk and hiking song and we spoke to a member of germany's left party who says the incident only adds more shame to one of the country's darkest chapters. and. i'm disgusted by the way here. discredits everything that people did after the war to break that english not. by rushing into our unless it's us that are the sashing. when they march to prance hole and when they. see you regulars is always that more right wing and rightly extremist. but it was always balanced by the liberal liberal party. and if you live in the sea you in general and if i did i did it all it's lol.

holding true knowledge that nazi ideology major cities were. decided. to commemorate the people that were violated by the nazis it's a damn shame when the big. show was. political education for the last. time you didn't. read. it is anti international everyone knows how the french love wine so when the us president said that american wine is just as excellent as the french variety it seems to if it had so we decided to put parisians to our very own wine challenge to find out who comes up trumps as donald trump thrashed out at france's president this week on twitter he also took a meant what he saw as unfair trade practices when it comes to wine tariffs way

said the french who are very precious about that wine the donald said both countries made excellent wine but france made it very hard for the u.s. to sell its wines to the country and charges big tariffs so that got us thinking who makes the better wine the us all fronts it's time for a battle of the new world wine this is the old and the judges it's the parisians. and the rules for sale. you know we move to reduce resentful see where every skill. is if you don't you know. it is awful. the whole thing coming.

but come on i would say our pool room. would be we would close down a big thing a big city most of it a little bit more where there is a new disease don't get very much that out of it. and now he. said of all the people. in the wake of. this to think that. if so the verdict is a nine hundred sixty clear parisians put the wind from making us all her well maybe for once they don't rule towns being vindicated as the wind from his country seems to have trumped that from france so on this occasion from paris we admit defeat but nevertheless we will always weighs a gloss and say so and say show that you can ski otty paris have plenty more

stories coming your way here on our international on this friday in the mix of what you wouldn't believe the ugly scenes erupting in the parliament of sri lanka that story and much more just about. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand the news business is just the dance the right questions and the right answers. questions. this reserve bank enables a cup doxie yes this is at the center of america's descent into financial

armageddon yes can you blame the fed for such things as the infrastructure collapse across america the ecological collapse. california wildfires and hurricanes across the nation. busted pipes in detroit leading our stick poisoning and left yes yes you can because they give money to the bad. news here with. a new children's toy aimed at kids now aged five and that's going on sale in america has. with critics saying it brings the political divisions in the country straight into the. air and looks at whether mitt this time of

heightened sensitivity is parents and middle any old is simply too easily treated. in these extraordinary top see turvy times one would hope that the lives of our kids could at least for now remain innocent and protected from the political craziness but think again this christmas one conservative website would like your children to build the wall of the law you know. and not just any wall but one that will keep your country safe as a mob yes a mob of ten thousand migrants march across mexico untoward to the border sounds like an ideal stocking filler or maybe not.

as this politician will tell you you'll never too young for politics bron loves playing the kids build the wall then mr trump said you're right you're right about them. building blocks on your child's thing perhaps they'll have more fun putting hillary clinton behind bars with this play sets and while we're at it these are not the only games being criticized as highly inappropriate now we all adore a six hour game of monopoly that usually ends in tears but now players may start crying before they even open the box but a new millennial is addition of the game offers and i watering taste of reality the tug line says it all forget real estate you can't afford it anyway forget about passing go because you don't make money you just collect experiences like sleeping on your friend's couch or visiting a vacant b. stroke mr monopoly also got a make over taking a selfie with

a participation medal the company insists that the game is aimed at adults something to chuckle about on christmas morning with uncle john but spoof or not the outrage has been relentless. so it turns out we could have called classic monopoly boom a monopoly all along has a bunch of money you have no debt everything is affordable and you can go straight from starting out in life to a rich british state mogul with no formal education you are aware that student debt and the rising cost of rent is crippling the economy talking about it a ya dick but then what are we to judge what's acceptable for kids to play with some point out that today is that old grow up playing with unrealistic female role models like barbie and racist not to mention sexist stereotypes like super mario and let's not even get started on fairytales. twenty five here in moscow

ugly scenes erupted in the sri lankan parliament as a brawl broke out between lawmakers. i tempers boiled over following discussions over who should lead the country sri lanka has been in political deadlock since last month when its president abruptly sacked the prime minister and suspended parliament and critics branded the move illegal and unconstitutional. a split between the ukrainian and russian orthodox churches could soon become official my colleague neil harvey discussed the situation with our correspondent daniel hawkins. while religious scandals around churches in ukraine to many might seem irrelevant

a historic theological debate but actually carries a lot more meaning to orthodox believers need to look at the basics first the eastern orthodox church is made up of fifteen different churches each of which one has autonomy in religious language that is called autocephaly meaning church. as it so self governance independence and jurisdiction now the russian orthodox church for centuries has had rule over the key of orthodox church have been political and religious factions in the country which a very long time pushed for a independent ukraine an orthodox church to be established indeed the president of ukraine petro poroshenko has been a supporter of this he's implied that the creation of this church is just as important to ukraine's independence and rebirth as joining the e.u. or nato autocephaly is the most important event from the same serious as our aspiration to join the un nato the association agreement a visa free regime with the e.u. withdrawal from the c.i.s.

rejection of the deceptive treaty and friendship with russia etc all this is the basis of our all my way of development development of ukraine so this is going to happen it's going to come easily it's quite a complicated situation in ukraine is that yes there's more than one orthodox church in ukraine apart from the main one recognized officially as part of the moscow patriarchate there are also two other churches now they broke away in the early ninety's when ukraine got its independence from the u.s.s.r. this is the key of patriarchates and ukrainian autocephalous church these claim independence but they have never been recognized officially as official corrugations that's until very recently when the patriarch of constantinople made moves to give them that autonomy that independence as well this is very much angered the moscow patriarch the russian orthodox church doesn't accept these decisions and will not follow them schism is schism and its leaders are the leaders of the schism and the church that accepted the schism excluded itself from the

economical field it decision has been made to rupture food communion with the constantinople patriarchate we cannot be in communication with this church which is in schism what about the everyday church goers were they in any way be affected or i think it's going to cause a lot of. confusion and division i mean this is seen as a wider context as part of that conflict between russia and ukraine east and west those debates over independence and cultural heritage in the bigger picture here tensions have been rising since about twenty fourteen there have been dozens of attacks since then by ukrainian nationalists orthodox churches aligned with moscow they view them as enemies of ukraine as effectively tools of the kremlin in terms of church property there may be conflicts as well the moscow aligned church owns around twelve thousand parishes in ukraine those two other ukrainian churches which may soon unite control about half that number so in terms of ownership of churches in terms of income revenue in terms of where followers are going to go and practice

their faith this is certainly an issue that's not going to go away and is likely to certainly cause some more confusion and division in a country already deeply divided our program for this hour wrapped up here on r.t. international though a busy day for you and all of us here at r.t. we're back in about twenty five minutes. this manufacture to send to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the one person. we can all middle of the room sick.

with the truth of these two syllables. this is a. girls can use a boy or business with the most into it because look. this is the folks who. want to show us what it's not about us not all the shows i. see. on. the cases that i've got to know is that nobody else to look at them what are you funniest diplomates most of its moments from the show such as the fluid sort of

movement. you do when you must. join me everything on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics school business i'm show business i'll see you then. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in the spot the place the phone for comfort books and any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable makes them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said if our words are already set on the

statement that i will be home by that time the next day there's a culture or on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with solving their crime. honoring the one hundredth anniversary of the end of the first world war french president emanuel mccrum claim preterism is the exact opposite of nationalism this is widely seen as a criticism of donald trump after all trying to call some self a nationalist is nationalism a dirty word so. i . used to think that as well as we.

moved you know i did some force through. the at the but the. political the distances to the group of. people if you were to look at the. here and our lives and the mission. of the beach in that it then childre a minimal. yes but it broke a deal east. who has most wish to persuade you from me as i but i too notion could reach to look at lunch to have missed for filming a bus the police to waltz liam by the lead. live in a little colquitt us isn't getting more luck or the truth just a joke one where they would sign. in they have to fish not god but just

in the most. because it's all of this just the most and that we are just as much in some of the first me. that's not of the plotting to. drop them could put enough. it's his kinda mob boss he received the national she had to put to me that since congenial danish doesn't look that old. all that on this trip and it's a school shooting in there when i'm in a car with mushed on the edge if you need a total more than the beach a couple who've moved to reach from you he said it's not that it's and it's a shame since that always has been mr nestor with the praise hoards of death that us of me sets and last night into you know it's not graphic and that's what i checked this time i guess it was so what so i want your graphic is so iceman that i can watch it as i'm still but as of me says i need this over i have a hard look at that i get that it's in this way same here and it's even.
