the problems with walkie talkies some of the brains are actually shrinking inside the scold it's becoming small. the pain is indescribable it's a really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin in your muscle down to the bone. there's no really. sure this is going to screw. around foreign minister describes donald trump's words as shameful america's continued partnership with saudi arabia as the u.s. . focus from the murder of journeys. to both countries fight against iran. france adopts a controversial aimed at fighting fake news in

a bid to prevent this information during an election campaign critics however 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 ten o'clock here in moscow and you're watching international live from last year with me in a day or two to welcome to the program. trying to head back to the us president's statement of support for saudi arabia which appeared to exonerate riyadh of all responsibility in the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi the iranian foreign minister was outraged that trial attempted to shift the spotlight from the shelter case to a perceived threat posed by iran look at a rare just take a look at

a rare when you look at what they're doing they are a terrorist they shoot right now mr trump bizarrely devotes the first paragraph of his shameful statement on saudi atrocities to accusing iran of every sort of malfeasance you can think of. was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul back in october saudi arabia denies sanctioning the murder saying the country's crown prince had no prior knowledge of the assassination saudi prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for five suspects detained in the case political analysts say that mr says trump is trying to divert attention away from the scandal he's trying to kill two birds with one stone he's trying to bring burst back on iran to real close all the. which is been part and parcel of the u.s. foreign policy in this region especially when it comes to iran and when it comes to

oil policy the fact is that when you started talking about the iranian sanctions on iran you were indians or you know of living there nor normal life. but you were saying the iranians have been crippled they are suffering their album this true so in the habit of lying when it comes to iran to put the iran under the spotlight. time statement is called standing with scientists that starts off with two paragraphs accusing iran of sponsoring terrorism the claims made in the document of joint condemnation in american media who suggest the president has caved in to the saudis while ignoring his own intelligence agencies 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 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. also clarified that aside from countering iran and keeping all prices in check america's economic interests come first and that major arms deals with the saudis cannot be lost to rivals. barring hundred million dollars worth of damage done you might want to take your big fight with me because they would get what they. were because of the big brother john russia and 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. a controversial law to tackle fake news has been passed by french parliament nearly a year after president to clamp down on what he called a destabilization efforts are to charlotte to penske 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 it would love social media uses to flag up items that they think all spreading false information if so those items would be removed i'm told so 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 control room media channels being blocked i mean. bring that election

period now this is a move that much corn has been championing for a long time. the regulators powers which will be profoundly redesigned during twenty teens will be increased to fight against any attempt at disability 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. 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 vents 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. aims to fight against the massive spread of 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's so just be 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. and it's likely that the first time that we will see it in action will be during the european elections in twenty ninety.

one of its own could be the case for italy after the her. rejected the country's twenty nine thousand budget the european union has already moved to launch disciplinary procedures again throw however that has the worst case scenario if it fails to fall in line with its finances. today we confirmed our assessment is that it will lease it off what. is in particularly serious noncompliance with the consular accommodation should be. what they tell them government does of table we see the country sleepwalking into instability. we discussed this with european commission president jiang. 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 ness of our political economic plan and so i'll be happy to evaluate the next steps the decision to warn italy comes after the european commission initially rejected italy's budgeted 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 michael 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 talian talian northern league party members to follow party says italy should stay the course policies are helping to fix the economic crisis. really my. fault is obvious it's. not european forces politicians

or. for us. to difficult to change exchange and. be able to change it is the. policies of move. from going to share the last year us. policy is the. policies for the crisis for workers. who are elation we must move on the relation of development. and social networks bust into our lives millions embrace them as a chance to give a global voice to anyone and lending a reputation as platforms for free speech and democracy but it seems the tide of trust is turning for uses after 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 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 how 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 leave been able to successfully generate

a lot of opposition. from those sectors of the. political structures as well who feel. the danger by these new business models. 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 you know look into i have so many people saying that we are certainly looking down to 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 through old line. businesses 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 the power of social media can sometimes make or break a person's reputation anyone with a high profile online these days an innocent mistake or careless comment can trigger a storm and it seems even the people in charge of the social networks are just as vulnerable.

i jack are you against brahmins why come into an unknown country and are 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 spreading hate relating to your own posts is. sad to see a lack of awareness and concern about castro issues and your tweet your for all innocence and advice to save your skin and live above. so twitter actively supports the drama nicol patriarchate. the wimps out but that they ought to be ashamed. of course he has to apologize let me tell you he still hasn't done so it's just

quite ridiculous what's happening this comes from the c.e.o. of creature and his stock management i mean the legal advice which which is fairly scary because then you realize that they're not even control what they are sick i think even should realize it nor indian ticket for the looks of art which is the house of people is given to us consideration is as bad as that however the poster here was just as smashed i mean exactly zero let me come and speak a bit about that yes the brandons enjoyed the system a great privilege many many years ago which was extremely true to the us india is dominant is that you had an extremely enlightened. constitution. and countries the education level is only about now getting to go sixty five seventy percent or so socially and we still have a long way to go. which is why you see this you know the this mismatch between lor

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 that's after the u.s. treasury department on tuesday slap sanctions on three or all companies and several people involved in selling iranian oil to syria united states today sanctioned 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 g.c. could force that money is then passed on to terrorist organizations like hezbollah and hamas a new round of sanctions targets one iranian company and two russia based 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 taney asli an effort to hamper the reconstruction of the war torn country much of its population is deprived of electricity and heating does the us really want this beirut based political analyst on a shabby says the us is effectively giving aid to the remnants of islamic state. how ironic that the united states that claims claims to be fighting terrorism and is imposing sanctions on those who defeated isis those who participated and the war is still ongoing in eastern syria. this is not completely dismantled the. more reward effort by the syrian army with the help of the russian army with the help of the iranian forces in order to completely destroy these terrorist organizations and these terrorist organizations that are affiliated with that are

threatening the world these sanctions are illegitimate they are illegitimate against syria they are illegitimate against iran they are illegitimate against hezbollah because they are baseless they're not based on a decision made by the united nations or by some actions that are proven to be illegal actions or by direct support for any terrorist organization. north korea has destroyed ten current posts at its southern border as part of the peace deal agreed earlier this year video released by south korea shows the post being detonated in swift succession of guard posts positions along the demilitarized zone which separates the two countries both agreed to demolish ten posts that leaves the north one hundred fifty and once completed the south with fifty the agreement was made back in september as relations began to warm following decades of bitter rivalry. there's much needed rain on the way to california which is suffering its longest wildfire season in fifteen years it's

also the deadliest the u.s. states ever suffered with eighty four people have died. the schools control the sea with several of these statements on the wildfires and fear visited the town of paradise california calling up pleasure a couple of times each thing that comes out of his mouth he is easily the most flammable president you it. should have been doorway catapulting argument you wouldn't have the fire was raking leaves i think i saw this in a south park episode it would like him to stop with this raking stop. a climate change climate change in climate change climate change and the changing climate as you all the forests in every weekend does not stop climate change and

those who deny that are definitely contributing to the tragedies there were no witnessing and move continue to witness. that iraq to them a jew weapons are real only governments have them and they're setting fires in california 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 what is ever prepared for this kind of tragedy and the fact that so many people died and so much damage was done so well it 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 the big thirty percent is a privately. so the forest is controlled by the federal government but it seems that the federal government is complaining about. the growing prominence of asian nations on the world stage and the region's current hurdles are in focus right now at a conference in malaysia organized by the moscow based think tank the valdai club one of the biggest regional issues is the territorial dispute in the south china sea which has seen beijing face off with washington which wants to curtail china's influence there are still fears and that could lead to a direct confrontation trade wars and protectionism are also the discussion of the conference which includes keep business people and academics from across the region including japan china south korea india and pakistan the president and c.e.o.

of a regional integration and security foundation stressed the importance of dialogue especially in times of uncertainty. from politico perspective especially right now and of course the world is facing a lot of uncertainties a lot of disruption own sources i racing from. certain positions being taken by the united states under one hand. with regards to trade protectionist and so on. the hand of course china is. ever bigger player in the world affairs. with respect to the question of what you know for a regional order what kind of security architecture we would like to see. in the air yes of course where russia interests converged then there is much

benefit to be had from dialogue on the diskettes of strategic shoots for instance. this is very important. as we show my scenario that states can benefit from. more than a million people world wide have joined a petition against palm oil production which in recent years has become a cheap versatile alternative to of the 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 into the asia. need to press on with battery research for plug in hybrids. and expand the use of

clean diesel be 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. that's 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 then shame on them and and i think they need to reconsider what they're doing these by. the fuels were an interesting experiment i don't think they've proven to be the value that they are if you're talking about . 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. i thought around at this

hour don't forget that you can look us up on social media and our website that sati dot com i'll be back with more news at the top of the hour but first here on out international is going underground. to bragg's it or not to break that that is the question teresa mayes find to exit the e.u. has been roundly criticized from virtually every corner 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. 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 these cities and they said we may come to your town just give us all the data 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. like going to please go camp sundown camp for people that can't decide and they're like so the empire camp is like a safe house i guess they don't have to talk about what they go through with us because we understand our daughter katie was first diagnosed with a very rare some sensitive condition if i get sunburned i heal she does or she'll patients around the home problems with the walk to talk to some of the brains that are actually shrinking inside the scolded sleeker in the branscombe small. the pain is indescribable it's feels like. really really bad chemical burn that it goes

through your skin into your muscle all the way down to the bone. there's no relief . we're not to sure this is. not action or tangent we're going underground as embattled u.k. pm drazen may today goes to brussels to iron out a bricks agreement that is set to be voted down in london coming up in the show we offer scottish nationalist m.p. and chair of the u.k. international trade select committee angus macneil if spain is just the first
