with you for the next day thirty minutes or so thanks for your company first. independence protests in spain's catalonia region more than sixty people have been injured including police officers. rallies time to coincide with a meeting between the spanish prime minister and catalonia region leaders. because it was the out was. was was was. was. so extra police have been drafted in at least eleven protesters have been arrested standing straight as threw rocks at offices they started fires and

build barricades local journalist evelyn that kaczynski sloan brought me up to date with the events so far today. thousands of catalans took out of the streets today to protest against a meeting between the petro centers and their regional readers of catalonia normally the cabinet meeting is held in madrid that has federal centers that already and that is the actually also want to do it here in barcelona and people took it as a provocation because only one year ago catalonia declared independence so people obviously are angry because they want to be independent and they want to be separate separate from the hosting so as you can see a behind me you have a science of the bet at this is politico's which means these libor rate the political prisoners still nine of them are held in detention and basically you have all those people you have young people protesting and still trying to remember what

happened here one one year ago so at people took out of the streets not only here in the center but also the blocked eighty seven seven which is the freeway leading to the airport so many people were blocked today and couldn't go home for christmas . sorties had hoped the relocating the meeting to barcelona would reduce tensions in catalonia the spanish prime minister and the council on leader agreed on thursday to quote an effective dialogue outside different and independence referendum how the course in october last year was deemed illegal by trade center rested cattle and leaders from rebellious edition may call a special prosecutor recently claimed that former counsel and president's colors project amount spent more than eight million euros on that referendum for his part which to mount calls that bizarre. russia's ledge meddling a surface once again but this time moscow can't be blamed it seems the new york

times is reporting that a group of democratic party members undertook a secret project to test online tactics during the election in the us it took place in the state of alabama last year by employing methods allegedly used by russia to influence campaigns with more senior correspondent word. for years the public you me were barash by stories of russian bots on t.v. radio papers daily they told us of malicious programs of evil software soulless slaves puton an existential threat to america take the alabama election a year ago russian bartz the media reported interfered medaled corrupted on behalf of republican candidates roy moore so surprise a tougher supporting more they both have a deep love of country the countries russia but still rather. choose for you it's

pretty alarming when our guys send a fluent russian or speak fluent russian russian it everywhere year later it's moving closer to the oval office one might wonder why on earth russia would bother with a massive dissin from asian campaign in alabama of all places to fence salah valley of government as juicy a target room or himself was clueless about it had no idea why this was happening so as is republican tradition he blame the democrats for setting him up the democrats as a source or a tradition change the subject and insulted him maybe more should check with putin who shares his views on depriving people of their civil rights here is where it gets really good the new york times did some digging and found

a report titled the alabama project and figured out those weren't putin's bots at all they were faked dressed up to look like russian bots. we orchestrated and a labrat false flag operation that planted the idea that the more campaign was amplified on social media by a russian but that i've seen some dirty stuff in politics all over the world but this this is platinum tear this on this deplorable and dirty tricks turns out it was all of fake psyop orchestrated by a group of i.t. experts who wanted to help the democrat win by cheating by lying and by defrauding millions of voters in an attempt to frame the republican is being helped by russia the guy who allegedly financed all of this is billionaire reid hoffman

co-founder of linked in and apparently a guy with a really faulty moral compass often comes with the money my experience now here is the kicker and lighty is telling people shouldn't worry it's only one hundred thousand dollars peanuts when it comes to elections whatever world the democrats live in a hundred grand is change joe trippi a season's democratic operative said it was impossible that one hundred thousand dollar operation had an impact on the race journalists no longer report the news they report their opinions same new york times when talking about how alleged fake russian facebook accounts spend the same money hundred thousand dollars on advertising on a national campaign the disclosure adds to the evidence of the broad scope of the

russian influence campaign. so when a democratic group is all but cool with spending a hundred grand on this information on lies framing and defaming someone it's just one hundred grand pocket change but if it's the russians at one hundred thousand dollars becomes an absolute fortune crime against america and go on i've always been suspicious that the russians bought in there and it was flimsy and was probably made up simply because that's the kind of saying that the democratic party does they make things up in order to create the basis for an attack on the right wing and on the conservatives this is in the character of the democratic party and in the lack of character i should say and it's it's a criminal element that has taken over the democratic party the mainstream media

only talk about things that service that democratic party agenda and it's an agenda that we saw in syria you know it's an agenda that will lead to war it's an agenda that risks nuclear conflict with the two great nuclear powers it's an agenda that needs to be stopped. because on the top of ministrations taken another hit defense secretary as much as has announced he's leaving his post pointing to differences of opinion with his commander in chief. because you have a right to have a secretary of defense whose views of best are aligned with us on these and other subjects i believe it's right for me to step down from my position james mattis is served in the military for over forty years and has been defense secretary from the start of tribes to he supported the president's calls to strengthen the military but it was known to disagree with trumbull many points including this week surprise decision to withdraw u.s. troops from syria that announcement seems to be the last straw for mattis it also appears to have driven a wedge through the us as well with many major an establishment figures criticizing

the move well the american public large you seem to support it was more on the divide calif monckton. promise announcement withdrawing the usa from syria has got the media up in arms the republicans and the democrats are livid they say that the usa is losing out i believe it is a catastrophic mistake the job's not over dangerous premature jeopardize america's mission in theory and her allies makes our country an even bigger laughingstock than it already is putin that gift it benefits iran the only reason they're not dancing in the into iran in isis camps is they just don't believe in density media's outrage does not match public opinion polls show that eighty six percent of americans say that u.s. military force should only be used as an whilst resort now that opinion used to be very common on the opposite side of the political spectrum remember the peace marchers the antiwar movement this is what bernie sanders had to say my main

concern terms of the middle east is to make certain that the united states does not get involved in perpetual warfare in the quagmire of iraq and syria trump made the same announcement last year but forces swiftly moved in to change his mind russian president vladimir putin has sent forces to support the syrian government against the terrorists a big game changer in the conflict he says he's a bit skeptical of trump's announcement would be a studio concern in the u.s. withdrawal from syria i do. really know what that means for example the u.s. has been present in afghanistan for the past seventeen years and almost every year they say that they are withdrawing their troops they are still there now is the presence of american troops needed in syria i don't think so let's not forget that the presence there is illegitimate it was not agreed either with the un security council nor with the syrian government so if the us plans to withdraw that is the right decision while politicians and media from both sides of the political

spectrum is voicing outrage truxillo is at least complying with international law now let's see if he sticks to his guns this time. r.t. new york former italian foreign minister from cover to knead told us he thinks the moves a step towards a political resolution to syria's war. i your very much dead president will keep the promise to withdraw from syria because no doubt that tang's duty commitment on the russian federation tends to the cooperation with that turkey shows florida is a beast if the possibility to go to wars that political solution in the future of syria not in military one andy a withdrawal of united states troops will have in order to avoid krises areas that can treat where unfortunately the

victims are in a sense simply ends concerning afghanistan i know very well we have been talking about withdrawal in foreign troops for years and years and years now there is a concrete threat i see resume jance all taliban and first of all all die which is a spending in afghanistan what to do in my view only under united nations umbrella that they could be and mission to try to fight terrorists in afghanistan while still be lies ing that count three after seventeen years of foreign presence there. all the turkish foreign ministers welcome the united states decision some analysts though a warning that the us backed kurdish fighters will now be left abandoned and

vulnerable turkey's threatened an offensive in northern syria against kurdish groups which they view as terrorists. of. science and now we're varying the terrorists and the well they dug themselves and will continue to bury them we spoke to mr trump those terrorists should go east of the euphrates if they won't go the new sunday because the bothering us were asked were strategic partners with the us then we should do whatever is needed. in syria the official spokesman of the armed opposition there they syrian democratic forces confirm that the surprise withdrawal could indeed endangered kurds in the region because the american decision to withdraw from syria is sudden and shocking to us and even for the american troops here on the ground the american withdrawal will surely contribute in one way or another to escalating the continuous turkish threats toward the north of syria in general and towards the kurdish people in particular meantime the u.s.

plan to pull its troops from syria's call to anger among the mothers and wives of local fighters killed by i still they gathered near what's thought to be an american base in aleppo province appealing for the decision to be reversed and for the u.s. to help the syrian democratic forces one zero zero zero of america turned his back on us as we continue to fight india is or it was our airline company raca and then . why did they leave i said this time. we went to the airfield as it promised that they would not leave and now they've sold us out. going to chat about this next shaking hands is a sign of friendship generally but it's caused a major fallout in denmark the country stops the new law obliging people to shake hands as part of the ceremony to become a daily citizen now supporters of this law insist that shaking hands is a custom and is part of being danish the reason it's causing consternation though is because of claims it targets muslims for physical contact with family members of

the opposite sex is forbidden for religious reasons region reasons some town mayors are refusing to comply to now with this law. it's against my ideology and conviction to have to force other people to have body contact. so a so we chat about it little voice of chief executive of the foundation and john gaunt talk radio host columnist and show even said pinney make it to the studio guys nice to see tonight mohammed i'll come to you first the denmark integration minister saying it's a visible sign that you've taken denmark to your heart if you shake hands what do you think about this plan. it just shows how petty and vindictive the danish government is shaking hands is a personal choice there are many members of the jewish community you would choose not to share kind of the opposite sex does not negate the need you know to pass a law which discriminates against

a group of people you can be vibrant members of society you can play an integral part in health and education as a lawyer in business and be a good citizen without having to say well actually you know what my religious reasons for religious reasons i do not want to shake someone's hand and therefore i'm not going to do that does that make you any less of a human being as a less of a responsible citizen job fair point or not you don't have to absolutely everything there are videos doesn't fit into society will be very good citizen that shaken hands. well you do if you want to live in denmark and salute a ridiculous comment from my friend there where he said it was prejudice against muslims no it's not it's the same we jews the same with any religion you want to live in denmark they want to shake hands well from we shake hands get in the modern world use this nonsense we don't shake hands it doesn't really help you kind of be the first through the village guy go they finish go back to their country what you mean forced it's

a sign of friendship if you don't want to be friendly if you don't want to make similar coach or if you don't want to be tolerant go home i'm sure there's loads of places where you don't even have to shake hands but you can chop each other's hands off if you steal something this is nonsense it shouldn't even be a raul this well it is mohammed. while. job enjoy is going to play to the gallery are going to talk to you about individual freedom human rights playing to the gallery. usually does that necessarily make it possible that you won't be responsible citizen engaged in society played an active role just being able to practice your faith the ferry the fact that people have been forced to do this you've got dozens of men as of four hundred so you know now you don't have a general who did the law on the point is the central point is this that it's about individual responsibility it's about human rights and it's about stopping bigotry

and this law pacifically designed to target just a muslim community is discriminatory and inacceptable and i. cannot come in their place it isn't just discriminating against the muslim society if you read the articles if you take the time to do it rather than just play with a chip on your shoulder you'll see it's not just about muslims and secondly if you don't like to shake hands don't move to denmark or don't become a danish citizen it seems to me to be quite simple and this idea that it's an attack on your human rights come on grow up whatever you want to simulate whatever you want to fit in with western coach or why do you want to stand outside of it because the only people you disadvantage by doing that is yourselves that's why the danes have banned the veil in certain places their right to do so this is why switzerland the doing it this is well you are france doing it it's absolutely

logical what's wrong with shaking hands but the danish parliament approved funding a little cheer for a plan that would send partly unwanted migrants to a remote island i think the worry is it this kind of the fin and of the wedge here is near i mean you know you could be making into law the most empowering or a minute. it's completely different what they're doing with illegal migrants and they have a right to do that because the clue is in the term illegal right they are the absolute right to have strong border control coming back to this this is people who are gay in danish nationality they want to live in denmark and all they're asking is that shake hands but no they want to be the other people like this guy muhammad ease always doing it it wants to spread create division and then he accuses me of played to the gallery listen we shake hands in the west it's the way it is you want

to live there what are your fits in or ship out because frankly oh i and many of the people i've got a north of this garbage. human rights says go back to the countries where lot of these people will be coming from well sir human rights or accord like yet. mohammed i can see gives thoughts on i mean you know basically adopting european values to be the basis of all to be european citizens should it all surely not. yeah well the agenda of the far right is to label this is somehow an alien concept the muslims are not accepting the hold out hope for the rest of the rights only us of abraham is a. principle which is going on economy iranian involvement support we can't do that through all the colleges i mentioned did you just say that i missed it and i didn't recall you know of a general calling out backwards i didn't say get back to the dark and well did i i didn't do any of those personal insults you churches suggest that what i was saying

well is far right no chads big boy no child not listening could turn my car or a city no because he's got to you have got to be a grown up you can't have anything wrong because shot caroline jones but i was interviewed joan i'll join you don't have any respect. let me let me seventy clearly so i don't he said very honestly and wise and on the ball is what i said what i said is when you attack individual choice when you attack the right of individual people to practice their faith when you pass draconian legislation as we see the danish government do which is playing to the gallery of the far right because it's a far right party that is in government that is pushing this integration minister the immigration minister the represents the status governments i'm talking about those employed doesn't mean he'll enjoy it but clearly if you want to know how to do that you are yourself a moment to the little people the lesson says they should go home and be the

central principle is this as i said it's about individual choice and it's about the fun by not shaking hands does that make you less of a human being doesn't stop poem from contributing to society i'm making a positive contribution now i'm somebody who personally my own choices i do shit people male and female but there will be people out there who choose not to touch that choice but well they you know collins when you play legislation. they should certainly finish every visit they let me finish let me finish obviously for jointly we're finished i've listened to you are telling us like you need what is good in about a good run our i don't listen i'll listen to you in silence but always your bully body approaches to shut people down won't work the reality i'm on i'm going to have a hard working summer now i know it's over there could be something else they should be resolving right now because there's something else. i haven't yet or something i just want to there's another story on approaches well in germany the country's minister for migration refugees and integration center. christmas cards

with a wood christmas emitted is that going too far is that being too politically correct in germany satirists mers eligible thing what she. was in or some are allowed to spray get a job if you do use some sort of how to speak them aloud to speak if you are ready seconds of your response of it is. thirty seconds our time our response to that the clue is in the title christ it's christmas it isn't a season of goodwill we should use the term christmas and just go back to the handshake and if you don't want to have a shape go back to the country came from and to talk about denmark having a far right government what's a minute where they democratically elected right name a few democracies show where it was elected as well or where these muslims come from let's name a few shall we apart from is there a our let's name them so don't give me lessons in democracy don't talk to me about

bullying and don't talk to me about being far right because i represent the views of the majority of europeans you say immigration is a great thing but everybody needs to integrate everybody needs to brush up against each other and everybody needs to have a smiling face and shake hands john thanks to make your point so clearly final less than a minute with mohamed what he said what he said about to wrap this up. well i. rather leave what john says there but i would say this about christmas i said merry christmas to people i'm proud to live in a christian country that allows people to practice their faith and i wish everybody a merry christmas that's a nice way to end it mohammed shift big chief executive of the foundation jungle talk radio host columnist thank you guys for me on the program and have a good christmas he's not over there you go your separate ways the. invention of deception in germany were top journalists from the respect to dispy goal

newsmagazine has been sacked for making up stories for years reporting on next gen quarter takes us through what's been discovered. when it comes to trustworthy journalism the mainstream media might tell you there's no alternative. meet one of their poster boys of honesty class for lotus work for one of germany's most respected newsmagazines der spiegel he was even named cnn's journalist of the year back in two thousand and fourteen for a story about prison inmate care the report takes the poetry can interesting approach to a major social problem class roots this paints pictures in the reader's mind that in food like a film. well an acting career might have been better suited for real odious because the paragon of modern journalism seems to have faked his way through his seven year

career of the sixty articles we know der spiegel published reloading us admitted fourteen contained fake news and a story about a young syrian boy he made up quotes and locations the tale of a guantanamo bay prison or a complete fabrication it was only after his colleague revealed his doubts over a story they were working on together about the us mexican border that the truth came out the. first there were just like little mistakes that i paid attention to things that seemed suspicious a vigilante group that doesn't allow you to take pictures of them but they tell you unbelievable stuff even admit to their crimes like that they detained mexicans and crossed the mexican border with weapons were no went through the ringer with his managers trying to bring his doubts forward imagine challenging the legitimacy of an award winning western journalist praised by c.n.n.

itself and if you're thinking this is a glitch in the mainstream media think again all these outlets have parted with journalists after they fabricated stories some more award winning journalists but awards in journalism are a whole other matter take journalist. he faked his own death with the help of the ukrainian secret service attempting to pin the blame on russia for an assassination it was a calculated deliberate international terrorist crime that can't go with killed due to his professional activities he was only working on things that were critical and investigative of russia you know it was it was one of the biggest fake news stories of the year but he was even given the time award for journalistic bravery if the mainstream media insists you should question less you might want to take a second to question more donald quarter r.t. . no world are we going to do next.

this is art international thanks for watching right real brushes news media regulators let's try this again showing a bit of a mistake on the order cue there rush's media regulator has launched an investigation into whether the b.b.c. world news which broadcaster in russia and the b.b.c. is websites are in compliance with the country's laws media culture has been following that story it's been kicking off today. the b.b.c. has already commented on this new development saying that in russia as in any other country the company brings independent information to its audience following old rules and regulations by the local government now russia's media regulator launched this investigation into the b.b.c. world news just a day after the british media regular said that the news channel broke impartiality rules and the kremlin says that that was

a measure taken and response. of course it's a retaliatory measure. there are plenty of questions for the b.b.c. overall coverage of some events coverage i should show you so gentle driven unbiased however no one can judge the channel except the special regulator. and we are now seeing this investigation earlier this year off gone which is the british media regulator launched a number of investigations into to determine whether the channel had complied with the broadcasting rules and as a result of these investigations off com has found that the news channel broke broadcasting rules by failing to preserve due impartiality and relation to seven use programs and the aftermath of the souls very nerve agent poisoning. that it was a deeply disappointed by the results of this this investing.
