to put people in that frame of mind make the uncomfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer only accept their denials she said therefore would. say i stayed there i would be all about it the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all the. iran's foreign minister describes donald trump that words as shameful for pledging america's continued partnership with saudi arabia the us leadership focus from the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi to both countries fight against iran.

a controversial law aimed at finding fake news in a bid to prevent this information during election campaigns critics however view it as a threat to freedom of speech. 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. are broadcasting live direct from a studio in moscow this is r t international dahmus certainly glad to have you with us. all right tehran has hit back at the u.s. president's statement of support for saudi arabia which appeared to exonerate riyadh of all responsibility in the murder of journalist to jamal khashoggi the iranian foreign minister was outraged that trump attempted to shift the spotlight

from because shoji case to a perceived threat posed by iran. if you look at iran just take a look at iran and you look at what they're doing they are a terrorist they hear right now 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 because shoji 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 analyst sayed mostafa caution says trump is trying to divert attention away from the scandal. he's trying to kill two birds with one stone he is trying to bring the spotlight back on iran to replace 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 the fact is that when you started talking about the iranian sanctions on iran iranians are you know living there nor normal life. but he was saying the iranians have been crippled they are suffering their album the street so ease in the habit of lying when it comes to iran to put iran on the spotlight trumps a statement is called standing with saudi arabia but starts off with two paragraphs accusing iran of sponsoring terrorism the claims made in the document have drawn condemnation in american media who suggest the president has caved in to the saudis while ignoring his own intelligence agencies. 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 of this way to

cover for the country and specifically the ruler that carried out this killing of a us resident and us journalist or a trump also clarified that aside from countering iran and keeping oil prices in check 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 things from this gun if i say you don't want to take your business if i think we're going to get it on they will get the military equipment to know that they are brought here. 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 promptly is first and foremost

a weapons an arms dealer at. the controversial along to tackle of fake news has been passed by the french parliament nearly a year after president vowed to clamp down on what he called destabilization efforts are to charlotte to pinsky as 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 being blocked from. that alexion period now this is a law that much corn has been championing for a long time. the regulators powers which will be profoundly redesigned during twenty teams will be increased to fight against any attempt at destabilisation by television controlled or influenced by foreign states. president mcconnell is also being pretty clear who he sees like this being aimed at he's regularly accused of nothing 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 still have regularly been denied access to the emmys a palace to be able to question the government about its policies who'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 which 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 to school level i think this legislation is not the best way to combat we need fake news i think that it so to speak 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 law against the spread of false information has been passed here now 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. meanwhile anger has been growing in france over rising fuel costs are driven in part by president carbon tax hikes two people have died during three days of massive protests and civil disobedience across the country several of the demonstrations have turned violent. was. was. are or was. the demonstrators said top. on fire on a highway in the south east on tuesday night elsewhere refineries and roads have been blocked causing major disruption over a quarter of a million people joined of the so-called yellow vest protest named after the high

visibility jackets which motorists have to carry in their vehicles the demonstrations have spread nationwide over five hundred people have been injured including dozens of police officers here's what some of the protesters that have been telling us we don't know on this president and these governments to be useful anymore we don't want them anymore and we want to change the system. because that's right i spent the night here to show that rule in this together and that we're going to make it to the end we're going to make it we're going to make it we are going to make it we weren't let go i'm here all night again government officials have responded to the protests by criticizing both of the demonstrators tactics and goals. today we're seeing a radicalization of this movement with demands that are now incoherent and all over the place they have the right to protest but not to block roads and harm others.

french publisher and journalist and american maulvi gave us his thoughts on the unrest in the country. lot of ordinary people cannot live properly because with macro they have seen their their way of living completely diminished as a people are not. accustomed to political coup high political violence since the end of the war in in france if they are some a lot of casualties of our injured and maybe dead people governments would have to resign government is a jeopardy is in jeopardy because it's a very spontaneous unprepared politically we don't want to dialogue to enter in dialogue with the governments. sanctioning one of its own it could be the case for italy after the e.u. has rejected the country's two thousand and nineteen budget the european union has already moved to launch disciplinary procedures against rome however that is the worst case scenario if italy fails to fall in line with its finances. etc daily

confirms our assessment is that italy's. in particularly serious noncompliance with a council of accommodation should be sent to live with what they tell in government . 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 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 that the e.u. 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 migrant 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 mocking attalia nse italian northern league party members stefan a bargee says italy should stay the course as e.u. policies aren't helping to fix the economic crisis. follow these offices. policies. for us is that too difficult to change in exchange and she. can't be able to change it is it is the obvious there is. no means of. escape from that

a session of the last yes. when. this is the unknown and apologies for the prizes for who are cast. and who will. only be offered a lot of. fashion house dolce and gabbana has sparked outrage with an ad campaign that has been widely labeled as racist and sexist we'll have a story for you in just a few moments you're watching attention. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s.

has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand dollars fine tapping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you know or to miss the one and only.

welcome back and this is our chief international live from moscow now dolce and gabbana has cancelled a major fashion show in shanghai after a series of promotional videos designed to lure china into high end fashion left the iconic brand facing accusations of racism and sexism. the tide hocking well. not quite as a specialty you don't even see any of those who drop out she can send you are. hi donna. reaction to its controversial media campaign only intensified after comments appeared online allegedly made by the brand's head stuff on the bottom and sold in china however gabbana later put up this post calling the previous ones a hoax and claiming that he hadn't written the offensive messages now over on the social media people have started mocking the designer with pictures showing the d.m.g. range accompanied by the caption i mean the fashion house in turn has denied any

responsibility saying that their accounts have been hacked. or instagram account has been hacked so who's the account of stuff on the go by our legal office is urgently investigating we are very sorry for any distress caused by these unauthorized posts comments and direct messages we have nothing but respect for china and the people of china and chinese entrepreneur who is based in italy told us that while the ads that were perhaps inappropriate he doesn't believe the fashion house intended to offend anyone. there's no need to concert i show. up to everything that's there at the beach that just because i don't like the marketing department but at the same time though it's your job and i should have maybe look more and i'm sure there is more people that could have said maybe they want to buy and this partly because i'm sure they weren't trying and then they bought into just wanting to make something for the younger generation in china maybe personally i wasn't offended because i thought it was kind of sarcastic to eat. pasta with

chopsticks i would thought about this i looked up to do it because i haven't heard about that maybe it was a bit too much good music was a bit of the traditional new sounding music sure somebody thought behind it so it wasn't that by i would understand people being offended especially in china where like sarcasm doesn't translate very well i'm in charge i would say. when social networks burst into our lives millions embraced them and saw them as a vehicle for free speech and democracy but it now seems many users are losing face as concerns grow over privacy censorship and the spread of fake news. 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 again like the ones over the cambridge analytical 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 fortune 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 trumps hinted he's up for door

in that kind of whatever monopoly what about saying that he didn't you know look into i have so many people saying that we are certainly looking and 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 that'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 to old line economic 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 knows that 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 get used as a proxy by vested interests. tomorrow 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 and your tweet your friend as under the bus to save your skin and the livable so twitter actively supports the drama nicol patriarchate. the wimps out prophetic 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 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 consider what they're saying i think even if you realize that north indian ticket for the looks of art which is

the highest of people is given without a class consideration is as that is that however the boston herald up was to see smashed i mean exactly i've made me come and speak a bit about that yes the brandons enjoyed a system of great privilege many many years ago which was extremely cruel to the lower class india's dominant is that we had an extremely enlightened chainless of our constitution. and countries the education level is only about now getting to work sixty five seventy percent so socially and we still have a loan need to go. which is why you see this you know this mismatch between the door and what happens on the ground. u.s. secretary of state might pompei always 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 slapped sanctions on three oil 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 i.r.g.c. could force that money is then passed on to terrorist organizations like hezbollah and hamas or at the new round of sanctions targets one iranian company and two russia based oil companies the six individuals targeted are from various countries including iran and russia moscow has condemned it washington's latest move claiming 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

omar not says the u.s. 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 to those who participated and the war is still ongoing in eastern syria. isis is not completely dismantled yet there is more war 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 to it that are threatening the whole 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 are 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 organizations. thirty four and a half minutes that's when i'll be back with another look at news who are watching our two international groups. comes on 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 they call out all the cities and they said we may come to your town just give us all the data all the people living in your town and
