actually shrinking inside the scold it's become a small. the pain is indescribable it's. really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin into your most always down to the bone . there is no relief. just not sure this is. iran's foreign minister describes donald trump's words as shameful pledging america's continued partnership. as the us need to shift focus from the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi to both countries fight against iran.

problems adopt a controversial or aimed at fighting fake news in a bid to prevent this information during election campaigns critics view it as a threat to freedom of speech. and americans are losing that trust in social media with a poll showing more than hall think platforms like facebook and twitter damage democracy and free speech. it's eight o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all t. international live from last year with me and welcome to the program. at least iran's reacted angrily to president trump referrer affirming america's partnership with saudi arabia despite the brutal murder of dissident journalist jamal khashoggi in the saudi consulate in istanbul donald trump has now attempted to shift the

spotlight from who's to blame for the killing to the fight against perceived iranian threat here's how the foreign minister in terra reacted. 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 points out that the whole truth behind cheney's killing might never be no goes on to add that actions already been taken and that saudi arabia remains a steadfast partner. the very complex situation but it is what it is if you look at iran just take a look at a rare and you look at what they're doing they are a terrorist they should right now we also need a counterbalance and israel the job also if we abandon saudi arabia would be

a terrible mistake but he's trying to kill two birds with one stone he's trying to bring the spotlight back on iran close all the. which is going to part and parcel of the u.s. foreign policy in this region especially when it comes to iran and when it comes to foreign policy the fact is that when he started talking about the sanctions on iran . you know of living there nor normal life. but he was saying the iranians have been crippled they are suffering their album that's true so he's in the habit of lying when it comes to iran to put iran under the spotlight. claims have drawn condemnation in the american media who suggest the president has caved in to the saudis while ignoring his own intelligence services however president today chose a different path something more along the lines of the world of the very dangerous place 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 of this way to cover for the country and specifically the ruler that carried out this killing of a u.s. resident and a u.s. journalist. rabia denies sanctioning the murder of jamal khashoggi saying the country's crown prince had no knowledge it was being planned they insist it was a vocal intelligence operation the saudi prosecutor's office says it will seek the death penalty for five suspects detained for the murder as a trump aside from countering iran 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 millions of dollars worth of things from this gun if i say i don't want to take your business if i think we're going to get it wrong they will get the equipment military

equipment and other things were brought here china russia and china would be very very happy the u.s. 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. a controversial law to tackle fake news has been passed by french parliament nearly a year off to present to clamp down on what he called the stabilization efforts to give us the details. 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. from doing that alexion period now this is a law that much corn has been championing for a long time. the regulator which will be profoundly redesigned during twenty will be increased to fight against any attempt at destabilisation by television controlled or influenced by foreign states. president maracana has also been pretty clear who he sees a rule like this being aimed at he's regularly accused of nothing russian let

called sputnik 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 r.t. and it stars have regularly been denied access to a palace to be able to question the government about its policies we've also been denied access to official events where president is present now in regards to this law that was passed on tuesday they were many people who also spoke out against it saying it could actually be used to silence the press. aims to fight against the massive spread of false information we are 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. i think this legislation is not the best way to combat. this i

think that it just be useless we have enough legislation on this ready which helps us enough in combating the manipulation of information and it could even be dangerous because it provokes self-censorship. so that more against the spread of false information has been passed. and it's likely that the first time that we will see it in action will be during lections twenty nineteen. sanctioning one of its own could be the case for italy after the e.u. has rejected the country's twenty nineteen budget the european union has already moved to launch disciplinary procedures against however that is the worst case scenario if it fails to fall in line with its finances. so today we confirm our assessment is that italy is. in particularly serious noncompliance

with the consulate accommodation should be. held in government because. we see the country sleepwalking into instability. will discuss this with european commission president. as you know on saturday night i'm invited to dinner for what will be a constructive confrontation we have always been convinced about our draft is a draft that we thoroughly thought through and prepared we are convinced about the concrete of our political economic plan and so i'll be happy to evaluate the next steps. in decision to warn italy comes after the european commission initially rejected italy's budget in october stating the country was taking a risk and backtracking on previous reforms. relations between italy and the e.u. have already suffered amid the ongoing like a crisis with the italian coastline proving a hot spot for refugees coming from north africa and the middle east we have shown

that we know how to defend our borders and we will show that we can also block european budgets and actions as long as europe and some countries keep marking a talent's tallinn northern league party members to follow bargee says italy should stay the course says policies aren't helping to fix the economic crisis. literally. fall all these offices in. european forces policies. for us is that. too difficult to change exchanges in new countries be able to change it is that. all these policies of who. don't want. to escape from that assertion of the last yes. we need or policies on them and apologies for lower prices for workers but for

a new world order we marched on the relation of the government. the two koreas a taking substantial steps towards closer cooperation and permanent pace one day sales on latin and other stories after this break. you know world of big. and conspiracy it's time. to dig deep to hit the stories that made history refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the

time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. amazon already has a significant portion of all u.s. commerce something approaching twenty percent i guess their goal is to get fifty percent of all commerce in america would be amazon commerce and they need artificial intelligence to do that an artificial intelligence needs data to run effectively so jeff bezos but the call out to all the cities and they said we may come to your town just give us all the data on all the people living in your town and will dump it into our computers and our ai systems and by the way you don't get anything. welcome to the program when social networks burst into our lives millions embrace them as a chance to give a global voice to anyone anywhere and the reputation as platforms of free speech and democracy but it seems the tide of trust is turning for uses off for

a catalogue of concerns ranging from exploiting personal data to alleged censorship and being in cahoots 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 bagdad against like the ones over the cambridge analytic up and google plus breaches and the pre 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 in the 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 leave 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 technologies the e.u. has already following some tech companies president trumps hinted he's up for door in that kind of order monopoly what about saying that i just don't look into it i have so many people saying that we are certainly looking at data 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 the 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. power of social media can sometimes make home break a person's reputation anyone with a high profile online knows that these days it doesn't take much to start a firestorm if you put a foot wrong and it seems even the people in charge of the social networks are just as.

i jack you against brahmins why come into an unknown country and get used as a proxy by vested interests. to morrow if jack is given a poster with anti-semitic messages in a meeting well his team allow him to hold it up why is that any different you people are spreading hate think your own posts is. sad to see a lack of awareness and concern about castro issues in your tweet your friend as under the advice to save your skin and livable so twitter actively supports the brahman ical patriarchy. the wimps out the thirty they ought to be ashamed.

of course he has to apologize and let me tell you he still hasn't done so it's just that quite ridiculous what's happening this comes from the c.e.o. of twitter and his dog management i mean the legal advice which which is fairly scary because then you realize that they're not even going to look at what they are saying i think even if you realize that north indian ticket saw the looks at barbecues the hundreds of people is given without a glass consideration is as bad as that however the poster held up was just a smash gram in a good backyard let me come and speak a bit about that yes the brandons enjoyed a system of great privilege many many years ago some of which was extremely cruel to the lower costs india's dominance is that we've had an extremely enlightened three molars also a constitution and the country's education level is only about now getting to about sixty five seventy percent so socially resteal 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. u.s. secretary of state mike pompei is promising grave consequences to anyone shipping oil to syria and trying to prop up assad as after the u.s. treasury department on tuesday slap sanctions on three oil companies and several people involved in selling iranian oil to syria united states today sanctions and international network that the iranian regime and russia are using to provide millions of barrels of oil to the assad regime this is in exchange for the movement of hundreds of millions of dollars to the i.r.g.c. could force that money is then passed on to terrorist organizations like hezbollah and hamas and the round of sanctions targets one iranian company and two russian based all companies the six individuals targeted from various countries including iran and russia moscow has condemned washington's latest moves saying it lends

support to terrorists in syria. the effort to charge others with providing oil to syria which is battled terrorist aggression for seven years looks like a statement of support for terrorists and similar train usually an effort to hamper the reconstruction of the water own country much of its population is deprived of electricity and heating does the u.s. really want this. base political analyst says the u.s. sanctions are simply illegitimate. how ironic that the united states that claims claims to be fighting terrorism and is imposing sanctions on those who defeated isis to those who participated and the war is still ongoing in eastern syria. isis is not completely dismantled there is more a war effort by the syrian army with the help of the russian army with the help of the iranian more than a million people worldwide have joined

a petition against palm oil production which in recent years has become a cheap and versatile alternative to other vegetable oils is used in everything from food to cosmetics and even fuel but now there's concern about the massive environmental cost in countries which produce it like indonesia. we need to press on with battery research for plug in hybrid vehicles 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.

in the long. run. something. that.

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 then shame on them and and i think they need to reconsider what they're doing these by. io fuels were an interesting experiment i don't think they've proven to be the value that they are if you're talking about file mass from waste product that's one thing but to be growing crops to go into cars has just had some. real damaging effects that nobody expected. north korea has destroyed ten guard posts at his southern border as part of the peace deal agreed this year video released by south korea shows the post being detonated in swift succession guard posts a position to along that demilitarized zone which separates the two countries both

agreed to demolish ten posts. with one hundred fifty a month completed. the agreement was made by september as relations began following decades of. now there's much needed rain on the way to california which is suffering its longest wildfire in fifteen years it's also the deadliest the u.s. states that with eighty four people now have died. this caused controversy with several of the statements on the wildfires and visited the town of paradise california calling a pleasure a couple of times each thing that comes out of his mouth he is easily the most

flammable president us. should have been all right there what about the argument you wouldn't have the fire was breaking waves i think i saw this fork episode again would like him to stop what they're breaking stop. climate change climate change in climate change climate change in the changing climate. in every week does not stop climate change. that are definitely contributing to the tragedies they were seeing and continue to witness. direct to them a jew weapons are real only governments have them and they're setting fires in california and all government has turned against its people isn t. for setting the california wildfires.

i don't think the political bickering is hindering anybody that is out there on the front line trying to put this fire out but he's ever prepared for this kind of tragedy and the fact that so many people died and so much damage was done says well he should have been more prepared but they're putting out a fire it's really hard to spend time and money on preparation if you're putting fires out they just don't have enough resources to deal with the fire that's big thirty percent is in private hands and so sixty percent of the forest is controlled by the federal government and it seems that the federal government is complaining about maintenance. don't forget that you can look us up on social media and our website that salty dot com i'll be back with more at the top of the out the first here on r.t. international it's watching the hawks.

seem wrong well we just don't all. get to shape out. come out to. engage. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground.

to briggs it or not to briggs it that is the question teresa mayes find to exit has been roundly criticised from virtually every corner and with a looming deadline the u.k. could face a hard break without an agreement even early elections how did it get to this point . 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 bet she can't guess what he went in for. violently assaulting his now murdered wife 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 insteps 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. hoch 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. you
