that fake social media accounts of a so-called dry alabama campaign were designed to tie the republican candidate with temperance baptist's to try to decimate his voter base more than. the new york times has revealed that the twenty seventeen special election in the u.s. state of alabama was hit by a false flag facebook campaign and it did not come from russia democrats tried to create the illusion that republican candidate roy moore wanted to ban alcohol. i pledge to abstain from alcohol and live a moral life as defined in the bible i will demand all my stuff follow my lead by abstaining from the devil's tonic i pledged to fight against the decay of all moral christian society and all that contributes to the decline of values the idea was that roy moore standing among moderate conservatives would be hindered if they could create the illusion that he was a religious fanatic who wanted to ban booze no man woman or child or live to the

age where ever lived to see the stars and stripes we were a little russian salute in united states friend of america i'll fight the saloon from the high wire i won't keep this long as i have a foot i'll touch and as far as i have a feast it was a false flag campaign on facebook backed up on twitter now we've reached out to both twitter and facebook but have not heard back now matt osborne a democrat who worked on the project said that he hopes someday these tactics would be made illegal he said however as long as republicans are using them democrats shouldn't give them up if you don't do it you're fighting with one hand tied behind you you have a moral imperative to do this to do whatever it takes revelations about the shady activities of the cyber security firm known as new knowledge that actually led facebook to shut down the personal accounts of five individuals now at this point u.s. senator doug jones is calling for a federal investigation into the dirty tricks that may have helped win him his seat now did a few dry alabama ads actually cost roy moore the election well the impact isn't

exactly clear but what is clear is that the democratic process can be rather fragile. r.t. new york conservative commentator and writer john griffin told us the u.s. democrats using old means to game power risks harming ties outside america this is newest game of political musical chairs year by the democrats and they only care about one thing that's keeping power and getting our. i do believe that there's always going to be a new salon or new york times story or huffington post revelation about some new russian plot that absolves the democrats from any new work toral accountability for their actions it's is not helping diplomatic relations and even though it's body and president putin's laughed about it berlin trucks left without it the rest of us aren't wearing because there are so many are uninformed human beings who vote in

the united states. u.k. government staged traffic jams being branded a waste of time and too little too late it was a rehearsal for a new deal bricks it near the port city of dover has the details and this was a department for transport trial it was called operation brocken it's all about stress testing the u.k.'s rodin haulage system to see if it would be able to handle the potential disruption euphemistically speaking in the event of a no deal bragg's it now under the government's contingency plans they took a disused airport about thirty miles away from dover and said that they could use it as a parking facility for up to six thousand lorries so to test this plan that department of transport hired a number of trucks and got them to drive from this disused at four fire a number of small roads owned to the port of days are bought and this is

a pretty thing but only eighty nine lorries took part in the trial so you can take a look at what operation broke looks like now. they're not a good representation of a bad situation and. chaos in the event of a no deal briggs it and there was a bit of criticism for the government's contingency planning first and foremost it came from the author of see on both trucks and roads that the road haulage association they represent wholly is and they said that the whole endeavor was quite frankly a waste of time this plumbing should have been done many months ago on preferably on a bigger scale and it should have been continuous stress tested i died many truck drivers

will be impressed by this what we need is a deal too or at least the transition deal business is simply not ready for this briggs at the local m.p. referred to the whole thing as a wild goose chase as well as the journalists following the story had quite a bit of fun with it too some saw operation broadcast as reflective of the entire bragg's it process lorries kunis a traffic jam using eighty seven norreys to try and see what five thousand plus who do is so perfectly on brown bricks it is like preparing for a famine by skipping lunch. rather than using a load of lorries to create a fake traffic jam surely they should have used red buses with we're out of ideas emblazoned on the side of those tweets may be funny but they are beginning to reflect this sort of quiet hysteria that's painfully constant and surrounding or continuing to surround the issue of bragg's it here in the u.k.

and of course the exit is still a massive cliffhanger for us this week the u.k. parliament is set to debate the u.k.'s withdrawal and ahead of two reason may's crucial and delayed vote in parliament next week the parliamentary mass in terms of getting her deal approved isn't looking good her team says that they've still got a week to try and win over those that are dead set against the prime minister's deal that's looking pretty optimistic and if a deal isn't approved by parliament well then we're staring down the barrel of potentially a no deal breaker set where contingency planning like the sort that we saw today from the department for transport it's not going to look so funny anymore. now it's seen as a victory by animal rights activists a province in belgium has banned the traditional muslim and jewish methods for slaughtering animals it's joined a handful of other european regions which are prohibited the production of hello

and kosher meat even e.u. law states that animals should be stunned before slaughter so that they're incapable of feeling pain kosher and halal rituals however require the animals to be in good health and fully conscious but the latest decision in the belgium region of flanders which could lead to a nationwide ban has outraged religious communities today is the last day in which kosher meat and poultry can be prepared in belgium for the jewish communities of brussels this is a sad day for the jews of europe a sad day for religious freedom in europe opponents of the religious traditions though have called the ban a humane development. they want to keep living in the middle ages and continue to slaughter without stunning and they did mean didn't get exist back then without having to answer to the law of flanders join sweden norway iceland denmark and slovenia and providing no exceptions for hell or kosher meat we heard from the chairman of the islamic human rights commission in the u.k. and the belgian based journalist on the possible implications of the ban i don't

think it is against any religion at all fifty percent of muslims in belgium believe that indeed animals could be or should be stunned before being killed following the ritual i don't see where the problem is it's so much more humane the reality is when you see it started there you're talking about electric shock or in the case of cows in the middle rod being fired into the brain really that is no more humane. kosher way this is the sort of all the evidence points out to muslims and jews are going to be given the perception that they are not full citizens and indeed their rights in their own country and in their own area is being undermined while in europe i mean in belgium for example it's more than one hundred fifty years ago that it was decided for humane reasons to stun the animals before killing them we simply respect our laws i

have seen myself oxen and cows being killed it is pure cruelty for three four minutes this is unacceptable frankly people could see this whether muslims saw a christian saw whatever they really don't understand that the animals suffer unacceptably that's all the jews community members and the muslim community members are belgium too we can have a situation that we should what majority exposing and putting pressure on minorities for no reason if you listen to north oratory. of the great basque in paris he says that to him the stunning is acceptable if the animal could come back to its senses after the stunning scientifically proven there is no extra hardship is brought on though more when it is not also as a accurately according to that is true that is true does much more true than you

highlighting one i will buckle from friends. as your reason for who we forward the reality is that also you're not going to stop we are living in a global european community and indeed those slaughtering which is now is not going to be done in belgium is going to be done in france and elsewhere so the reality is that all you're doing you're actually excluding your muslim and jewish community from being part of the bill joe. the leader of one of germany's most powerful parties has hinted at a second chance for a coalition it would see christine lindows free democratic party team up with angela merkel scenic you and the greens it was a failed attempt at creating a similar coalition and twenty seventeen following the general election this time though there's a catch he wants merkel to step down as chancellor now not in twenty twenty one. gets beaten new opportunities in our rising there's

a phase of uncertainty really given to this will be nice and we're in a kind of transition period merkel's era is drawing to clues and everyone knows that and she knows that as well. germany needs a new start and new mood transition period in which nothing gets decided is. apparently that message was intended not only for party members but also for merkel successor at the helm of the c.d.u. party who theoretically could speed up the chancellor's departure our europe correspondent peter all of us sums up angela merkel's twenty eight. the clock is ticking on uncle mogul time in germany to help job she's already stood down as chair of the c.d.u. party and has said she won't run for another term and the chancellor's office just behind me. twenty eighteen was a tough year for mrs merkel back in march she was finally able to cobble together a coalition government six months to germany voters. cracks in the grand coalition were evident right from the off interestingly enough

the first with the knives out for mrs merkel was the leader of a very insistent party as migration again was front and center in german politics truth and photos to avoid the prohibition eventual prohibition of state should be immediately turned away. eventually a solution was found what's important here is the results there are a few nuances that i have clarified that i'm now happy this coalition in fighting no paled in comparison to what we saw in the eastern city of cam that's in august a thirty five year old cuban german man was stabbed to death following a late night all to cation one syrian and want to rocky man was charged with his slaying it prompted and sparked violent migrant demonstrations in the city which at times spilling over into full blown riot.

your rival of autumn brought with it a string of regional election failures those closest to the chancellor and bavaria with the first to be hit with heavy losses then it was the turn of past where we saw a mea culpa moment for mrs merkel as she pleaded with the electorate not to punish the party for problems they had with her a stark stance only when there isn't hasn't been a good example in the past few months it won't be a vote for ask the sunday you will be voting for the future of your home and. didn't help and while there were proven raping. we saw all the center left the green party making. right to me as well in fact be a great day when. you get. single regional parliament and also of course being represented in the bundestag as well.

this is america is taking the chance. that many people. believe. if stays on as chancellor until twenty twenty. post-war leader the election. as the new chair of the c.d.u. party gives us a better chance of happening however should that relationship soured all rif we see a repeat of the problem of twenty eight seen in the good ship merkel could well be sunk well before that. is about some breaking news from china now a man reportedly armed with a knife is injured twenty children at an elementary school in beijing three of them

are badly injured it's also being reported to the suspects being arrested quite rare in china but they have in recent years been a number of attacks targeting children last october a woman injured fourteen in such one province and twenty seventeen a man killed nine middle school students in southern china as well security has been increased in classrooms nationwide but even so details now of another attack a man with a knife injuring twenty children three seriously in beijing we'll have more on that for you as it comes in. here with our international airport in israel and china's growing influence in the middle east has the u.s. rattled surviving against the odds we have an update on the baby pulled from the rubble of a collapsed building in russia stay with us. they

put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. the president. wanted. to go to the press this is. really more. interesting. you know like the e.k.g. for countries is their ten year bond rate look at that. well looks like. the chinese economy based on that their interest rates are better than america. joining me every. sport. i'm sure.

the united states is raising concerns over china's role in building infrastructure in israel it's particularly worried about the northern port of haifa which is a frequent dock for u.s. warships the issue was among the topics raised by u.s. national security adviser john bolton on his visit to israel on sunday according to reports a chinese companies be building a commercial shipping facility in the israeli port where the country's nuclear capable submarines are believed to be stationed became a key transport and logistics hub during the syrian conflict as well the trump administration is now reportedly worried about the chinese increasing their influence across the middle east despite those fears though israel's hopeful about further friendship with china.

meanwhile the israeli exports to china are in twenty eighteen showed a seventy three percent year on year increase. who's an expert in israeli arab relations thinks that israel's dealing with china regardless of american sensitivity. america is very concerned whenever any country which calls for the milk cooperates with a component of america like china. india in some cases will. only serve you to. maybe even sign. did not take into account the american. sensitivities. that now with america raises these things. and we have we might have to recalculate the world with china because as you know we depend. so we definitely have to listen to lankans concerns about our business where that. a ten month old boy who

was pulled from the rubble of a collapsed apartment block in the russian city of might need to go ask has regained consciousness. nice it would be more of these pieces to. groucho city. like new additions misstating. actively to get it it's mom. getting postponed. dung. heap is not written.

a flood of public criticism. looks on the volk of his heavy weight you have see fights his fight against american derek lewis came on the same night in las vegas two fights before he'd be just like many he was surprised to see his compatriot explode after months of stone cold calmness in front of the media can understand why he. but i would never do that many things i don't know if emotions they draw more hype and attention to him so i don't think this point was driven by emotions but you never know maybe it was a plan to get people talking about that fight even more after arriving back in his homeland having none of that criticism not only includes can you see the. link to consider. despite the post fight antics of sweyn became the highlight of the year for many. wrestling karate all different ocelots have always been there but safe to say. it might just be eclipsing the popularity

people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circulated branches off that says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war and surely we can risk some discomfort or uneasiness for. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just all. the world get to shape out these days become active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when we choose to look for common ground

. greetings and salutation while much of the world has been focused on u.s. president donald trump's reason recent decision to remove u.s. military forces from syria we shouldn't in the course of all that debate grandstanding in the hoopla forget about the hundred forty nine some odd other countries around the world that currently have u.s. troops operating inside their borders take africa for example where the united states currently has an estimated thirty four bases spread across the continent lily pad style deployment strategy that according to modern middle eastern history ph d. eric shu not only permits the maximum projection of military power with the least

commitment it also allows military commanders to publicly depict all such deployments as temporary and to conceal their existence from the public well just last week buried in the headlines was the announcement the president drum did find the time during our illustrious government shutdown here in the u.s. to inform congress that he is sending u.s. troops into central into central africa over supposedly fears of violence erupting in the democratic republic of the congo. cording to n.b.c. news the eighty eight combat equipped troops sent to the bone would be tasked with securing u.s. citizens and diplomatic facilities in neighboring congo in the event of violent demonstrations breaking out in the wake of a vote in the wake of the presidential vote recently but no sooner had our troops arrived in the bone than a violent chua attempt actually erupted inside that country not the congo i'm not making this up my.
