3:07 pm
outweighed concerns over a disastrous famine in a war torn country well we'll see if they're as alert next time someone tries to sell a teenage bride for cattle the response from facebook is oh we took it down as soon as we found out but clearly the implication there is that they still despite you know so many similar stories of things that shouldn't be on facebook being on facebook for too long as far as i can see so far there's been no there's been no concrete answer from facebook as to how they're going to show that this doesn't happen again and for it to have been out there for days while this whole you know gruesome process was completed. seems you know it seems to be something that should take much more responsibility for and spend more of the profits or not actually making sure the platform is safe and is no abuse to the sake of human trafficking.

a plucky she punches a bunch of weight is no fun fish to see. but it seemed to be particularly worried about one scene and a single episode or moshe's seen wearing a soviet border guards hat. apparently that's meant to be a statement on russia's defense of its borders but even if we say that's true what kind of kid would pick up on that but hey it's best to start when they're young right the studio behind this propaganda masterpiece of course denies being influenced by the kremlin's hand saying they received no state funding but we did a bit of digging and found some ominous signs you simply can't ignore here comes the kremlin for all of two seconds that could easily be interpreted as a soviet red star the skies as an innocent christmas decoration and you may not realize it but the weird hat that must has got on here is
3:10 pm
a traditional russian hat now i know those examples aren't so much propaganda as they are just random russian things but that's all we could try but we're not it turns out the bare itself is a represent. a russia as a whole you see bear you think russia right the best symbolizes russia it's a fact it's a struggle for the minds part of a hybrid explosion in which a negative image of russia is replaced by a positive oh the horror the horror now you know what your children are being exposed to and can protect them accordingly. the bear are not coming to invade your homeland masha and the band is hybrid more than. british empire. and who sums up american decadence that's a call to. my name is a watch in my shoes a very cute they don't seem to be particularly indoctrinated. i really really do not want to read more about how masha in the back is true to his propaganda. i

3:12 pm
i might be euphemistic and say ironic but frankly it is pungent hypocrisy. what have they done for the last few years. but to connive with their syrian ally trying to bury the truth of what has happened in syria alongside the dead from the use of chemical weapons by the assad regime the delegations present at the conference are told to vote for everything proposed by the western group and the number of times those delegations of come on the psychological pressure from the same countries this is ample evidence to the extent of hypocrisy it's open lies and hostility on the part of those delegations may be the united states side would like to ask questions about the lives of syrian people but i believe that they lie when they say they really care about victims in syria between the times terse diplomatic

language used in the chamber it's fairly clear to see that there is a split in the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons right now that's place pretty much goes down the lines of the u.k. and united states on one side china and russia on the other and at the root of the split is the proposal that was voted through narrowly in june of this year that was put forward by the united kingdom and would give the o.p.c. w. extended powers that would give them the power to identify perpetrators all chemical weapon attacks now russia says this goes again. the charter which created the the o.p.c. w. in fact saying it would step on the toes of the the un security council which currently has those powers well that in turn was described as a contingent his call crissy by the us ambassador the russian permanent representative to the o.p.c. w ambassador he said russia's western partners were doing their best to
3:14 pm
undermind russia's proposals considering all the tricks of so-called partners use we understand they are really afraid they do this if they weren't afraid unfortunately we see that our american colleagues are continuing their conflicts in line and we're used to it they already left the powers climate accord the iran nuclear deal and now they're attempting to derail the whole o.p.c. of the russian ambassador calling for that vote means that they wrapped up on a monday evening with that vote hanging over us it will be sorted out on tuesday morning we're expecting to see everybody back here in the hague bright in early to try and get into an end of this current impasse. the british prime minister will head to brussels this week to try and seal the deal over brags that. the twenty ninth next year just over four months away after the twenty sixth referendum that left the british public divide on the issue here the twenty seven states are

3:20 pm
announcing a kick off shore line being finished. has the details. the completion of the portion of the turkish stream is in didn't of itself a milestone politically and economically this is an achievement objectively speaking nine hundred kilometers of pipes two pipes running together laid the under the black sea a depth of up to two kilometers under the under the sea itself certainly this is done very quickly and let me put in expressed hoops that the land pollution of the pipeline will be laid just as quickly as to with the pipelines themselves they have a fruit a combined throughput of thirty billion cubic meters of gas a year that is enough to keep twelve million european households heated supplied with energy with natural gas for a year so certainly that is

3:23 pm
after talks in the capital city couple between american representatives the afghan government and the taliban stumbling blocks and contradictions from those party to the conflict have seen earlier peace talks fall flat the taliban said this monday that no agreement has been found during the current three day meeting top american officials were a no show when the last conference was held in moscow despite both the taliban and afghan representatives coming to the table here's how the conflict stands according to the top brass in the u.s. military they are not losing right now i think that it's fair to say we used the term stalemate a year ago and relatively speaking it has not changed much over the last three years more than twenty eight thousand companies officers and soldiers have been killed according to government think is nearly two decades of have left the country scarred and affected millions not least of all children who face hidden dangers.
