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. krauts in the german city of camden it says given the hostile reception to chancellor angela merkel she is visiting the city almost three months after the migrant riots triggered by a deadly stabbing pizza all of the details. chancellor merkel certainly enfold a rough ride a rough reception as she spends a friday night here in kemet this demonstration one of several it is taking place this group that's up to

a satirical approach they tell me invoking the imagery of the third reich to symbolize what they see is angela merkel's reign they told me they're not happy that she's come here as a chemist's it's a fact that it's taken her three months after the incident took place is to actually rife. there was an attack here against our citizen she should have come here a long time ago she was hesitant and only showed up with massive police protection this is a show of cowardice from all chance of a divided us folks and i took a long time for people to wake up she should have got my backside in games sooner and stepped down long ago she should have quit everything after the elections and has say in bavaria ten percent of how voters turned away from her her regime is allowing her to hang on to power by her fingernails device guns get out you know exactly why she's not welcome here to try to wait until things have calmed down instead of face and the music there for that's why she took a quarter of her year to grace us with her presence she knows no one wants her hear

what angela merkel is doing she's selling out her own nation we have compassion to doze for really came from a war people who who escaped from a war will never harm anybody now that not the country in late august thirty five year old cuban german man was stomped to death after a confrontation in the early hours of the morning following an one thousand two celebration. starving to death resulted in demonstrations and the far right groups that came out on to the streets and the violence that we saw erupt then.

that's is what happened there started people and i get it it cost right when demonstrations and in general people have the right to protest but this doesn't justify using national socialist radical symbols nevertheless i understand that it's over the migrant issue not only that but in a broader sense and there are also problems of cross border crime and even drug smuggling and there are all questions that we should discuss naturally as shouts of america must vacate the earth and must go be wringing out from the crowd say well she is going to go she said chill step down as chancellor and twenty twenty one she's already about to relinquish the leadership of a policy of the christian democratic union for these people here in canada it's it's her legacy as the person that opened up germany's borders to refugees that should be most remembered in their opinion it reviled full speech all over all tea cabinets. so trumps race and claim that americans make wine just

as well as the french was met with widespread skepticism say we went to the streets of paris to find out whether people can actually tell the difference. as donald trump thrashed out at france's president this week on twitter he also took aim at what he saw as unfair trade practices when it comes to wine tariffs way sis said the french who are very precious about that wine the don't 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.

compulsion. and the roomful silly old who live on the move we just moved to do she has the balls to plant real skill. if you don't do. the whole thing coming. or going i would say after the roof. gone be. that close. to the big city muscle of it look where. it is it's don't get very much to tell it it will. be. a little bit in the hole. in the wake of. the fall but the bank will produce it with. the verdict is in hand is pushing clear parisians preferred the wine from the us all

her well maybe for once the don't rule has been vindicated as the wind from his country seems to have trumped that from france so. so on this occasion from paris we admit defeat but nevertheless we will always weighs a gloss and say so in a show that you can ski r.t. paris. the pentagon has failed its first ever full budget audit looking into the spending on arms and personnel and to top officials have the results one surprising. we never thought we were going to post an audit several one was bet against us that we wouldn't even do the old it the air force the marine corps the defense logistics agency the u.s. special operations command and the u.s. transportation command a number of sections agencies divisions were given disclaimers saying that they had multiple issues that needed to be fixed the inspection involved over one thousand

two hundred auditors some of the things that stand out for example we've got fifty three million dollars worth of an installed missile motors that were in not working condition they were at an air force base in utah well the auditors discovered that actually these missile motors were functional the pentagon is notorious for wasteful spending of taxpayer money. apparently unconcerned the deputy of defense the defense department came forward

and said that they were not surprised that this was simply not a pass fail audit and now the audit itself cost the taxpayers for over four hundred million dollars and the result is that more money is now going to be spent to correct the wasteful spending that was discovered by the audit the pentagon turning to the american taxpayers for more money to correct the problem of wasting money to begin with. a copy and paste terrorist seems to have been failed to us prosecute this and preparing a case against that we can exchange today innocent it was discovered in an unrelated court filing which was said to have been made by mistake. the complaint supporting affidavit would need to remain sealed until songes a rested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and could therefore no longer avoid a wrist and exclusion in this matter that sanchez been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london since twenty twelve last year sex assault charges against the

australian national were dropped by swedish authorities however he still faces arrest in new k. for breaking bell terms the u.s. charges could date back to twenty ten over the leak of data from u.s. operations in iraq and afghanistan that same year wiki leaks started releasing hundreds of thousands of classified diplomatic cables and in twenty seventeen the group published the largest leak in cia history concerning the agency's cyber tools songes lawyers say the u.s. charges a genuine it would set a dangerous precedent for press freedom former m i five officer and the mushroom believes the media should be standing up for wiki leaks obviously when wiki leaks broke into the international consciousness about eight years ago you had a lot of allies in the international media and worked particularly closely with organizations such as the washington post the new york times and the guardian newspaper in the u.k. then there seem to be a lot of infighting and these all the legacy media outlets started turning on on

julian songe so the question is why are they not protecting one of their own today not realize that if they don't protect one of their own they would be equally vulnerable under these sort of laws and i think that's something that all the the legacy media in the west needs to really seriously think about either we have press freedom for all we have press freedom for none of. the russian defense ministry has drawn attention to thousands of militants living in a huge syrian refugee camp where living conditions are dire and the terrorists can apparently gain easy access. rock band refugee camp is in an extremely difficult humanitarian situation the total number of people in it is about fifty thousand of which about six thousand are militants controlled by the u.s. . my colleague andrew farma discussed the situation at the camp of a correspondent for national how on earth do they get into these refugee camps is it that easy for the militants to get inside it is not easy but you have to

remember that it's very hard to detect them once the militants raise his weapon he looks like not very severely and and plus you have to remember that our flows in flows of people stream inane and you have no time to check their documents and you also heard from russia that they keys that these militants are u.s. backed and this camp is situated in the territory in the southern part of syria border in jordan that is under control of u.s. military. ok we know the officials are saying a russian officials that they believe six thousand militants about this camp how would they know that i would they come to this figure is not on the russian side

that is claiming that to run militants inside this camp we heard that from the u.s. embassy as well that there are some i say scrape and just had the looser group extremist groups members hiding in they scanned the news in the surveilling and displaced people from stay where as a human shield it's really unclear whether they have weapons where they're armed or not but the thing is that these people are of a certain background what is the situation like inside this camp pretty dire by all accounts from what we hear from russian defense ministry the situation is simply dramatic health care there are five medical facilities opened on the territory of these camps and they provide all of the very limited services at a very high price and the same for for the so-called pharmacy is so you may think it should be. charge but it's not just are expensive and all the people can afford these treatment and u.n. oil for medical services free of charge in neighboring jordan but people from the

can cannot leave the camp unless they pay a fee to those who control this camp the militants that the russian general mentioned so again not everybody can afford that and this is why we hear about cases like human traffic where prostitution including sex with minors and gender inequality all those terrible cases a violation of human rise aid agencies have been sending you to me just last month she arrived we know what happened to be distributed. this is the thing that international humanitarian aid find its way to the camp but it ends up in the hands of those who control the scam those militants and it's a terrible situation and russia says that since the camp is on the territory controlled by the u.s. military america is responsible for all those terrible things happening inside the camp and they want of course the international community is just starting to react some. clashes on the israel gaza border that have left forty

palestinians injured hundreds of protesters gathered despite a cease fire with israel. however have already been reports of violence with israeli defense forces clashes have been happening for seven months during protests and it's great march of return palestinians are demanding the right to return to the land they say of being illegally occupied by israel since march more than two hundred palestinians have been killed and thousands more injured the i.d.f. denies it deliberately target civilians. russia has successfully launched a cargo of rockets into the international space station. the soyuz will deliver some two and

a half tons of supplies to the crew including food fuel water and gas supplies is set to dock with the i.r.s. sas on sunday is the first time this type of rocket has been used since last month's manned mission which failed due to a major engine malfunction the two person crew was forced to make an emergency landing just minutes after blast off. the north korean leader kim jong un has reportedly upset the successful testing of a high tech tutt call weapon this is all to do as a justification of the party's policy focused on defense science and technology and those display of all rapidly growing defense capabilities to the whole region and a groundbreaking change in strengthening our military's combat capabilities despite news of the military test the u.s. says it remains confident all the commitments made at the singapore summit back in june between total tramp and kim jong un would be felt however peace talks between

the countries from maine stuart earlier this month the u.s. secretary of state counseled a meeting with north korea's top officials. threatens to restart its nuclear activity if sanctions are not lifted asia pacific analysts. believe there's a strong resistance within the trump administration to improve ties with north korea. for quite some time the north koreans have been unhappy with the trump administration market mr trump or sick but people under him who have not been very forthcoming in engaging north korea with compromises up insertions north korea is willing to make concessions and compromises that it's in but doesn't see anything in return and therefore over the last two weeks it has hardened at sea line somewhat and has suggested that if the u.s. is not willing to be more forthcoming the north koreans themselves might not be as forthcoming then might again revert back to their military testing in fact that

those the next summit the second summit is a very much on between kim jong un and president. president prince talked about that yesterday itself and so the hope is that when kim jong un reads president trump again sometime early next year by the head point of time because it's happening at the presidential level senior leaders level also talk a little bit more already with something to give to each other the. u.n. official has accused the british government of inflicting misery on the country's poorest people for austerity policy and. poverty is really a major challenge in the united kingdom what i found in my discussions with ministers. is basically a state of denial and they are happy with the way in which their policies are playing out and i think that sort of punitive approach to benefits is actually

inconsistent in fact breaks it is going to make that worse because those in the lower income levels are really going to suffer. this buy is having the status of an advanced economy one in five brits live in poverty and over a million people can't afford basic essential there are reports by the un's rapid on poverty and human rights that child poverty could hit forty percent within a few years but the u.k. government denies the problem we are absolutely committed to helping people improve their lives on providing the right support for those who need it or through a fierce bank bretton rae welfare's has consensus about the grim statistics released in the un report why in twenty thousand people are literally starving to death not just in india not just in yemen not just in kashmir but also here in london one of the richest capitals on the planet why isn't this story is not number

one on the b.b.c. number one on i.t.v. poverty one in five that's twenty percent of the population are in poverty so poverty is an issue we all need to be addressing and all political parties are responsible why is it with one in five people in poverty in this in the u.k. not one political party has a minister dedicated to eradicate poverty and that in itself is a scandal that poverty is not being addressed it's not being seen as having any value and the reality is too many people are making money out of poverty. and your children's toy that kids aged five and up that's going on sale in the us has raised concern. karen has the story. 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 brown loves playing the kids build the wall then mr trump said you're fired and i love them for 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 watch ring 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 riveting of a can be 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 yogic but then one way to judge what's acceptable for kids to play with some point out that there is that old growth playing with only realistic female role models like barbie and racist not to mention sexist stereotypes like super mario and let's not even get started on fairytales for more details on any of our stories you can visit our website r.t. dot com or have your headlines at the top of the hour.

the comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents yes so climate change is reshaping our country and our lives as we speak and we're quickly learning that climate change doesn't just mean oh i'm it it's raining again i'm good i'm good so tired of almost getting wet when i run from the front door to the hoover i called them from the over to the temperature control office and know for a lot of the world climate change means showing people where your house you. to be so it's great to see that this week the mainstream media has extensively covered the fact that california is on fire they have they have actually covered it they

just can't bring themselves to say the words climate change you know instead the reports are like there were five years and they were bad and what caused them is they were bred. as most reporters take for example n.b.c. nightly news now it's a it's a great new you can find a finer news program anywhere in the building where they take. this past sunday they open the broadcast with five full minutes on multiple california fires the destruction the loss of life and yet throughout the entire report they could not find the words climate change or global warming or even simply we're thinking they just could it got caught in their throat they were like clank clank clank clue police. car.
