budget and it seeks to property and manipulate foreign governments no matter how far they are for all it's worth program integrity initiative sounds like a brainchild of russian intelligence especially given all the recent hype and hysteria around it except it isn't it's british at least according to a hacker group called anonymous which has published what it claims are classified documents from the u.k. foreign office through a london based and the u.k. government has allegedly been working with opinion makers all across europe to promote anti russian narratives an effective network is best achieved by forming in each european country a cluster of well informed people from the political military academic journalistic and think tanks fears who track and analyze examples of this information in their country and inform decision makers and other interested parties about what is happening in clusters the key instrument of integrity initiative and

a fairly powerful one as proven by the spanish cluster which has shown how the program gets things done back in twenty seventeen the u.k. seemed surprisingly concerned with events playing out in spain's catalonia and london's keenness to see russia's hand in their bid for independence from spain so step one get public opinion on your side it says. really you can write up a study yourself this close to produced a major study on russian influence in the catalan referendum process which was circulated privately to key influences in spain including the prime minister's office and throughout europe on the integrity initiative network step to feed the results of your research to the media its main means of influence is through academic papers and especially through articles written by independent journalists in newspapers like this based on material provided anonymously by the cluster. the most read spanish newspaper put out quite

a number of independent pieces on catalan referendum some of them written by the man named as the head of the spanish cluster just take a moment for this information to sink in the leader of the cell designated with pushing a very specific message parts of an information secret service with a budget poses as an unbiased journalist in some of the most popular national newspapers that is what anonymous claimed to have revealed in its leak and the hackers claim it's not about one outlet the list of names in the spanish close to includes writers and contributors to different media some even outside of spain but telling the same message and then it step three sit back relax and enjoy the show you scripted the u.k. foreign office says that information about the project is publicly available and says it welcomes any publicity it gets meanwhile

a source at russia's foreign ministry told us that they're looking at the documents and i'm not surprised that the u.k. is allegedly carrying out such activities we also got reaction from one of the people featured in the documents released by the hack it. the documents prove no such thing i have not been paid by the institute but i applaud their work in dealing with the checketts regimes pertinacious information and influence operations the kremlin is losing russia bullying neighboring countries and murdering its critics why don't you investigate that the real risks of phobia instead of trying to smear people who are trying to resist the kleptocratic xenophobic incompetent hoodlums who make your wonderful country into an international pariah we discussed aspects of ressa fabian with political unrest george some you ali. western countries are doing exactly what they are accusing the the russians of doing i mean they are essentially waging

a psychological propaganda war. directed at the russians what that should tell us is that we really should stop believing. all the various pronouncements of government ministers and the stories that constantly appear in the media russia did this russian did that russia's response above verse ruff is responsible for that because it's clear that this is all part of a. concerted campaign to manipulate public opinion. and every clinton has claimed europe needs to curb mass immigration to prevent the election of populist leaders like donald trump but critics point to the facts the refugee crisis was in part created by foreign interventions by the u.s. and its allies peter all of that has now former u.s. secretary of state and twenty sixteen presidential candidate hillary clinton has

been having her say on the state of liberal democracy in europe she says the e.u. nations need to cap immigration if they're to halt the rise of the populous. i think europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lead the flying i admired the very generous and compassionate approaches that we're taking europe must send a very clear message we're not going to be able to continue provide refuge and support if hillary clinton is correct and immigration is the root of the popularity of the populace and let's have a look it's where those refugees and migrants have come from and why they came to the european union well the top three nations of origin for asylum applicants to the e.u. since twenty fourteen syria iraq and afghanistan all of those. trees that have been bombed or in some way to stabilize by the united states and their allies in nato.

currently one of the main routes into europe for refugees and migrants is the dangerous mediterranean sea crossing from libya a nation that was plunged into chaos following the nato intervention that took place on mrs clinton's watch we came through assad and he died. apparently politicians couldn't have forseen that people would start fleeing in their thousands since they were bringing democracy and a new promise for the future we are standing with the people of libya the bank gets the. beat and get out these domination of leiby as so freedom from developing countries and when refugees did start arriving they told the europeans not to worry those who flee means even more political oppression there we have a responsibility to help lambing the door on every syrian refugee that is just we

are the rise of populous parties is also a major concern for those at the very top of the e.u. tree liberal democracy has never been under such attack since the collapse of the soviet union it's all well and good for hillary clinton and like minded e.u. politicians to say that they are concerned about a rising popular ism in the e.u. but when they say that the way to stop this is to clamp down on refugees and migrants it comes across as more than just a little bit hypocritical especially when they had a direct hand in making those people refugees in the first place she directly contributed to this rise in populism it was under her rule so to speak under the obama administration that libya was bombed into the stone age. as supposedly to a. promote democracy you created a field steve is in direct effect for what he did in office. europe isn't just

being told that migration is a bad idea plans for an e.u. army have also been criticized from across the pond party boyko takes a closer look at the french german idea of a european military force which has ruffled washington's feathers in case you missed it the european talking about building up the get. go broke. and i know mike brown and the angle in the article have been breezily outlining their plans to dominate continental europe the french president declared that it's a france or german responsibility to prepare the reef founding of europe i'm sure that the other twenty five union members have nothing to worry about i'm sure that the. much less naive thirty z. in the original friend at least this time paris and berlin are working together the german chancellor now and she will run in another election can finally say what

she actually wants and she really wants a real true european army isn't it lovely how europeans have to mature because no one is running their lives grieving after hearing a german leader say that well i want from britain we can't wait to get out and seeing eminem's plans brings it may finally look like a good idea of course looming in the room is a rather large number of under brother nato which has been in charge of making sure that europe doesn't have to look after itself for the past seventy years behind very specially the part played by the dogs of the world does not like the sound of it you're. trying to spin from his french kissing buddy rather well breaking out classic you'd be speed. even if it wasn't for us. around britain called the idea of a european army to undermine nato crazy so where do we stand european nations

don't like being told they morph a nation to say they plan a whole new army of their own which will cost more than outsourcing to the us marines and as usual the us wants europe to do more to defend itself as long as it doesn't when you need to detect it well i'm britain moans about the threat to nato unity he couldn't quite join just a pure peace and unity of these armies planning to fight anyway micron is worried about china russia and the us but that is a whole nother episode. black friday ten so i'm a sentiment stuff around the world still not seeing working conditions all the details after a short break. lead

. i think that everyone. but inside or out. a dark side i think you're going to die only your backside you can improve yourself. but it's also very true but i really believe that there is

a part of that we show our side that the story and the band. are what could be our life. welcome back to us hey listen stoff have told their bosses to stop treating them like robots a number of the retail giant simply staged protests on black friday of awaking conditions in the company's warehouses amazon workers in the spanish capital demanded improvements to both conditions and salaries while over in the u.s. they spray tested against plans to open new amazon headquarters as demonstrations were also held in france germany italy am new k one trade union backs the protesters with the following video. no no show mobile phone now for

more about the story we are not. the. amazon has more than half a million employees worldwide including a quarter of a million in the u.s. the minimum wage pays and now is twelve dollars in europe and fifteen dollars in the u.s. the company recently increased the rate in the u.s. off to work as per tested. following the black friday protests some of them denied exploiting workers and said it provides a safe i'm positive work space with competitive pay benefits labor rights lawyer told us amazon is assessed subsea susceptible to work i'm consuming pressure. we see in the united states that because of bad publicity and some calls by people like senator bernie sanders amazon raised its wages to fifteen dollars an hour from about twelve dollars an hour so we see that they are amenable to pressure

look it's a consumer oriented business and so particularly if consumers are willing to put pressure on them they will change their way but also again people do care about working conditions of others in the pay of others and i think people are realizing that while jeff bezos is making many many millions of dollars in his people or working in prison my conditions it is unacceptable. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has answered questions as a news conference and misspend about this compile case as well as u.k. claims ever russian threat that south to meeting his portuguese counterpart. it was that for us. the portuguese foreign minister began by saying that countries should work together to fight terrorism internationally yet he didn't exclude russia and that is in stark contrast to what we've heard from you please keep general staff

recently he said now that islamic state had pretty much been eliminated russia poses a greater threat to the west then myself and so i asked. for his reaction to that statement. as to whether there is a red line in russia regarding statements similar to the one that the british chief of the general staff allowed himself to make you know we can appreciate it and he want to exercise their intellectual and political abilities of portugal was one of the few european union countries that refused to expel russian diplomats as a result of the script. poisonings scandal and so a local journalist asked his foreign minister the question on what could be seen as a lot of diplomatic action to this the portuguese top diplomat replied that orchard gold will decide on its sold what to do what it comes to international politics and

the russian foreign minister went on to say that britain was losing trust with the moves it's making when it comes to this crippled poisoning case globally will put a steward in a good year the main question is where is yulia script and her father they haven't been seen in public for many months recently a film was released about the script but what is significant is that there is not a single word about where these poor people are so is the reason no access to this information it can mean only one thing the british secret service and the government have something to hide. trip to rome and was is wrapping up here and according to what's inside it has showed that role and lisbon are the places on the map of the european union where it can be felt that the tide is gradually changing when it comes to how senior european politicians are treating their relationship with moscow. he was just in the russian defense ministry says forty

six people including eight children have been injured in an insurgent attack on the syrian city of aleppo it tames that shells containing a poisonous gas cools victims to choke all of the injured have been taken to hospital it's believed that they're exhibiting symptoms of chlorine exposure russian military chemists away king at the scene syrian state media said the country's military launched a counterattack against the rebels behind the shelling. for more details on any of our stories salty dot com is just a click away more news in huff announced time. when
