a controversial law aimed at fighting fake news in a bid to prevent this information during election campaigns viewed as a threat to freedom of speech itself. and americans are losing their trust in social media with a poll showing more than half think platforms like facebook and twitter damage democracy and free speech. good afternoon live from r.t. international here in moscow it's been only this wednesday for the next half hour this latest news update stay with me in the first then iran's reacted angrily to president trump reaffirming america's partnership with saudi arabia despite the brutal murder of dissident journalist in the saudi consulate in istanbul little trump is no tentative shift the spotlight from who's to blame for the killing to the fight against a perceived radians threat is how the foreign minister in turn around reacted to

that than. mr trump bizarrely devotes the first paragraph of his shameful statement on saudi atrocities to accusing iran of every sort of malfeasance he can think of perhaps who are also responsible for the california fires because we didn't help break the forests just like the fins do trumps white house statement title standing with saudi arabia point so that the whole truth behind khashoggi is killing might never be known goes on to add that actions already been taken and that saudi arabia remains a steadfast partner. very complex situation but it is what it is if you look at iran just take a look at a red and you look at what they're doing they are a terrorist they should right now we also need a counterbalance and israel the tell paul so if we abandon saudi arabia it would be a terrible mistake and i'm not going to tell a country that threatening hundreds of billions of dollars and help the do one

thing very important in the world right down so that they're not going to one hundred nine hundred. dollars a barrel right now right great i'm not going to boycott the world economy and i'm not going to put the economy or our country by being bullied by the really very well that statement on condemnation in the american news media who suggest trump's caving in to the saudis and ignoring his own intelligence services however president trump today chose a different path something more along the lines of the world is a very dangerous place and because it is we should let murderers get away with it especially if the murderers are paying us lots of money now we're left to figure out why the president is telling that lie why he's going so far out this way to cover for the country and specifically the ruler that carried out this killing of a u.s. resident and u.s. journalist for the saudi arabian officials deny sanctioning the murder of jamal khashoggi saying that they had no knowledge it was being planned to further they

insist the saudi intelligence officer was acting alone saudi arabia's prosecutor's office earlier said it would seek the death penalty for five suspects detained over the murder as for trump aside from countering a rant and keeping all prices in check he also made it clear that america's economic interests come first and that major arms deals with the saudis cannot be lost to rivals. they're buying hundreds of billions of dollars worth of something done if i don't want to take your big fight with you because they would get what they. were because of the thing from russia china russia china would be very very happy the us foreign policy is basically driven by the military industrial complex which as he reports in this statement is due to receive one hundred ten billion dollars in weapons or orders from saudi arabia so that's what it's come down to the united states under president is first and foremost

a weapons an arms dealer. other used today a controversial law to tackle fake news has been passed by the french parliament nearly a year after president mccrone vowed to clamp down on what he called destabilization efforts to do bensky scope more this law would be implemented in the three months before a national election here in france and it would mean that it would give greater scrutiny to what's published on things such as social media and also on t.v. channels that would allow social media uses to flag up items that they think are spreading false information if so those items would be removed and also it would allow people who are standing for election to take ideas of what they believe is a spread of false information to the courts here in france the judges then if they decide it is spreading false information that could result in foreign media

state controlled media channels actually being blocked in france during the election period now this is a mall that much corn has been championing for a long time. the regulators borrowers which will be profoundly redesigned during twenty teens will be increased to fight against any attempt at disability ation by television controlled. or influenced by foreign states. president mcconnell is also being pretty clear who he. would like this being aimed at he's regularly accused. russian. of being propaganda. russia today and sputnik have not behaved as media outlets and journalists but as organs of influence and false propaganda. well as a result of accusations by president. and it stars have regularly been denied access to the palace to be able to question the government about its policies have

also been denied access to official events where president is present now in regards to this law that was passed on tuesday there were many people who also spoke out against it saying it could actually be used to silence the press which. aims to fight against the massive spread from information we're talking about facts not opinions and it's not about making the spread of false information a crime it's about creating ways of fighting those who sponsor the spread of fake news. and i think this legislation is not the best way to combat. this i think that it's so to speak useless we have enough legislation on this ready which helps us enough in combating the manipulation of information and could even be dangerous because it provokes self-censorship. so that more against the spread of false information has been passed here in france and it's likely that the first

time that we will see it in action will be during the european elections in twenty nineteen. when social networks burst into our lives millions and braced them as a chance to give global voice to anyone anywhere reputation of course as platforms free speech democracy initially but it seems the tide of trust is turning for uses these days after a catalogue of concerns ranging from exploding to personal data to alleged censorship and begin with governments. more than half of americans think social media is bad for democracy and free speech last year it was only forty three percent so that makes me wonder how bad it could get in the years to come who knows what scandals could follow baghdad against like the ones over the cambridge analytic and google plus breaches and the priest smartphone era we couldn't even imagine protests against online media.

in theory what social media wants to be is their owners business after all they are competing private companies if you've got issues with one of them just switch to something else but facebook twitter you tube pinterest and instagram make up more than ninety seven percent of all social media web traffic in the u.s. by the way make it the big force and since to graham belongs to facebook they've pretty much mana plies the web and let's be honest they're not really competing since the formats are actually very different so it all came to the point mr zucker burke had to show up in congress you don't think you have a monopoly. certainly doesn't feel like that to me. or as the google man puts it you can switch to another engine with literally one click well some critics say the tech giants are not even good when it comes to jobs wages and the health of new startups there's just a few companies that dominate the market boom of course you know in the case of

facebook. you know some of the others they certainly have a significant amount of political and economic influence and it's causing a lot of havoc with traditional politics and traditional. economic business models so they've been able to successfully generate a lot of opposition. from those sectors of the. anime and political sectors as well who feel they are there but the danger by these new business models these take miles the e.u. has already following some tech companies president trump's hinted he's up for door in that kind of whatever monopoly what about saying that he didn't want you to look into i have so many people saying that we are certainly looking into actually trust and interests use but even if they do get officially labeled as monopolies the tech

giants are more than that they're in control of information it's become the new normal we often hear news of someone being banned suspended from social media platforms or some other kind of crackdown so that poll i showed you we should have seen it coming this growing opposition to tech companies you can see it everywhere it's beginning to occur political elites see it as a threat old line economic business is see it as a threat there's a tax system issue here there's a public opinion issue it's sure like a perfect storm coming together. next this was a quick and in with a high profile online knows that these days it doesn't take much to light the touch paper and start a firestorm if you put a foot wrong but it seems even the people in charge of the social networks are just as fallible.

hi jack how are you against brahmins why come into an unknown country and get used as a proxy by vested interests. tomorrow if jack is given a poster with anti-semitic messages in a meeting with his team allow him to hold it up why is that any different you people are spreading hate your own policy is. sad to see a lack of awareness and concern about castro issues in your tweet your frankness

and a device to save your skin and livable so twitter actively supports them from an equal patriarchy. with the wimps out before they ought to be saying. let's get reaction from india chitra subramaniam editorial advisor to the republic world news service so she had time today before we start is worth bearing in mind twitter execs say that india in fact is one of the fastest growing areas of development for their company do you think jack dorsey really did need to apologize for showing this photo or not his p.r. say it was a journey mistake he was given this photo along with a gift spontaneously showed the picture an audience member a given him course if you're in a position of power like that you have to be careful don't you. well absolutely i mean they have like between thirty five million to thirty eight million twitter users and let's not forget it was. his first visit to india looking for business

and then he holds up this post and that there's no people don't know what happened before and what happened afterwards it says a smash grama nickelback chiaki so that of course he has to apologize and let me tell you he still hasn't done so and he has a legal team that the legal advisor who is of indian origin. has just washed her hands of so many it's just quite ridiculous what's at the foot of the caste system of the controversy over a course has been a problem for many many many many years in twenty eighteen just how sensitive is that subject still in india they're very sensitive and let me tell you know if it is an election election period the whole country's boiled down to having elections in states and then the big election in twenty nineteen. so i think people should realize that north indian ticket for the looks of i would use the house of people is given without a cost consideration as that is that however the poster held up was just

a smash i mean a good backyard let me come and speak a bit about that yes the brandons enjoyed a system a great privilege many many years ago or some of which was extremely cruel to the law because back to do i don't defy just one in one group of people especially that was like putting a wood your feet in the mouth because god is a problem in india and it's much much worse and the bible even though you try freshly it's a ball ish. as far as officially everything is abolished officially the dowry is abolished in india's dominant is that we've had an extremely enlightened framers of our constitution and the country's education level is only about now getting to about sixty five seventy percent so socially we still have a long way to go. which is why you see this you know this mismatch between the law and what happens on the ground and jack dorsey should have known this fall for well

yeah. absolutely i mean look at the resolving of the boards they looks ridiculous gen doxy should have known people around him should have told him to get it all very. very committed and very active as a journalist you may have a position in this way or that but he should have been told if not by the others and certainly by his legal advisor who was in the meeting and did today there's no there's no apology for this but. again for generations it's been the dollar cost known as the untouchables that had some of the worst lot here was their life these days. it's doing things one i think there's a lot of you have a lot of issues and talents i mean there have been some of them even the poorest of what is going to cannot even imagine in europe in any part of europe and i don't know in the show i haven't been killed i'm sure but yes there is a lot of a lot of really you name the problems that the time it there's no issue but again

the ascension the underside is not actual instead of the diamonds are it's not in fact get their name and that middle and lower middle classes people but that's not be issue of the issue is that what is being done to dalliance and has to stop so if the if the if the boston had said n.b.g. arche period it'd have been a huge success there then there's going to sponsor norway that looks like business and would have something play b.q. this and looks pretty funny really unfortunate there's no i mean to say twitter has apologized to done or they think they can do now but it just how does highlight there's not how much inequality the still is in the world in twenty eighty chitra believe it that chitra sobre money i'm editorial advisor to india's republic world news service thanks ever so much being on our to international with us today. coming up north korea has destroyed a number of god posts an explosive display we've got the pictures we'll tell you about that and more when we come back.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to be rich. have to be right to be trusted that's what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of how. they should. show some seem wrong all right old clothes just don't all. get to shape out just become educated and engage with equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i gambled a million people worldwide to join a petition against palm oil production which in recent years has become a cheap versatile alternative to other vegetable oils it shoots in everything from food to cosmetics even fuel but now there is big concern but the massive environmental cost in countries that produce it like indonesia.

need to press on with battery research for plug in hybrid. and expand the use of clean diesel to diesel fuel and these technologies will help us be better stewards of the environment and they will help us to confront the serious challenge of global climate change.

something. no government wants to cripple an industry that's probably providing a lot of revenue. and you know if they are truly acting in a negative way toward their own people. shame on them and and i think they need to reconsider what they're doing these biofuels were an interesting experiment i don't think they've proven to be the value that they are if you're talking about fire from waste product that's one thing but to be growing crops to go in the cars has

just had some. real damaging effects that nobody expected. other news to tell you the global police corp organization into poll has elected a new president south korea's min. but before the vote a russian official was widely tipped to get the job which didn't sit well it seems with people in washington unit and we'll discuss developments early with maria from . russia was accused of abusing into paul in order to chase its political opponents while mr procope chook fifty six year old major general interior ministry veteran and one of the current interpol's vice president for since two thousand and sixteen was referred to as for example abuser in chief and wolf at interpol store a group of u.s. interest went as far as publishing an open letter to don trump said ministration urging to use all the power to make sure the russian is not

a lactate which they described would be like a putin fox in charge of a hand how's the russian president's spokesperson soit as madelyne there is probably some kind of meddling in the electoral process in an election to an international. organization how it's going to be seen this is a clear manifestation of meddling so here we have really another wave of accusations what's brought the other by this time this is the most interesting thing no evidence whatsoever was provided to prove these accusations i have to say that the head of the interpol of the critics of russia has been very active very vocal and the recent feeling that the american sentiment is could possibly base their claims on the statements of these personalities. i am seriously worried that if mr broke up too because the work to dispose didn't of interpol he would be ready to take absolutely and the action of the kremlin scum mountains because reputation

is not something he was worried about it turned out that in putin's russia there are no good guys no empathy and no morals to threaten me with death they threaten me with kidnapping the russians will do anything they can get away with or even stuff they can't get away with and this is being said by the two businessmen whose extradition russia requested throw into paul why william browder he was charged in russia in absentia for nine years in prison for tax fraud and he's currently accused of creating a transnational criminal network in order to wonder money a large scale embezzlement and could possibly be behind the murder of his associates only hell had a cough ski the next base in the center over involvement in murder and spent a total of ten years in prison on charges of tax evasion and thousand and even if we don't talk about these controversial figures controversial cases we can remember that russia for example requested the extradition of who russia believed were chechen terrorists and in fact was denied so i can say that the accusations are

that russia is abusing into paul for its own purposes to chase its political opponents have little grounds. to news the north koreans destroyed ten southern border in spite of the peace deal agreed earlier this year video released by south korea shows the post being detonated in quick succession posts a position to along the whole demilitarized zone which separates the two countries the north still has got under fifty the south is already disposed to sixty two countries have agreed to remove in september as relations warm following decades of bitter rivalry. or pictures like that kind of thing will grow food to cause some of . those look in so far this wednesday from moscow. thanks very much for watching money's kevin owen from the rest that's a maybe see again in just about thirty five minutes time.

backstabbers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report. to briggs it or not to break that that is the question trista may's fund to exit the e.u. has been roundly criticised from virtually every quarter and with a looming deadline the u.k. could face a hard briggs's without an agreement even early elections how did it get to this point. tracking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as

a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive trucks people who rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore slow down too much they lost their jobs got laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality to deal. greetings

and salutations the beginning of this week on monday november nineteenth we saw the celebration of international men's day yes the one day of the year dedicated to all things men all around the world international men's day and while many men here in the united states if they even knew there was a day dedicated to them were i'm sure looking forward to twenty four hours dedicated to carburetors ten malam hard hitting competitive sports tragically what they got instead was a steady influx of news reports showing us just how dangerous and violent unchecked toxic masculinity can be starting with reports of a former ohio state judge senator and state representative who was arrested this past weekend in the stabbing got the biz wife just outside of cleveland and the kicker is this former politician was actually just recently released from prison

after serving only nine months on a two year stretch and i bet she can guess what he went in for violently assaulting his now murdered way in front of their children but that wasn't the only bad news on international men's day we also had the chicago mercy hospital shooting that left three dead because according to witnesses the gunman who also died in the shooting was upset that one of the victims dr tomorrow neal broke off their engagement and he allegedly wanted his ring back. and just when you think the new was on international men's they couldn't get any worse in steps a male gunman from st louis who handed toxic masculinity his beer and then walked into a religious supply store sexually assaulted one woman shot another woman in the head and then escaped into the suburban wilderness. hawk watchers the true tragedy here isn't that these brutal crimes occurred on international men's day that's just another cute day on the calendar no the true tragedy here is that these violent

crimes committed by men against women well they happen every day of the week three hundred sixty days a year which is why we need to always be watching the hawks. to . get the. real deal. as. to. what they like you know that i got. with. this. well gorilla to watch and i am tired of it and. welcome the international man thing i always hope every year it's going to be this day where there is actually going to be a game.
