the. stress test for a new deal ridicule. the stage traffic jam near the port of a waste of time. there is midday in moscow this chews day. we're tracking for you this hour there are more revelations of us democrats meddling in a special election in the state of alabama in twenty seventeen the fresh report says that fake social media accounts of a so-called dry alabama campaign were designed to tie the republican candidate with temperance baptist's to trying decimate his voter base. the new york times has revealed that the twenty seventh 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 would among the 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 alive today if he were ever live to see the stars and stripes we were a little russian salute in the united states friend of america i'll fight the saloon from the high wire i want can as long as i have a foot i'll touch on 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 were 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 right to john griffin told us the u.s. democrats using all means to gain power risks homing tongue is outside america. this is an endless game of political musical chairs year by the democrats and they

only care about one thing that's keeping power and getting power that's it i do believe that there's always going to be a new salon or new york times story or having to most revelation about some new russian plot that absolves the democrats from any electorial accountability for their actions it's not helping diplomatic relations even though it's funny and president putin's laughed about it for the trucks left about it the rest of us aren't laughing because there are so many are uninformed human beings who vote in the united states. thank you that's how a russian military police have started to patrol the syrian city of my beach they say the main goal is to provide security and stability in the region but i guess d.f. takes a look at how the city has become pivotal in the syrian conflict this safe zone a buffer zone really was established off the kurdish why p.g. foolish has moved out they handed the area over to the syrian government the syrian

army and it was the clem demilitarized zone. patrolled by russian military police one of the who arrived on the seventh of january now the goods weren't acting out of altruism but because turkey was and ease threatening to invade its views the y.p. g p k k it's terrorists. because the turkey is targets in kurds is a russian will took you started to the kurdistan workers' spot to tahrir groups one of the goals of turk to struggle against the p.k. k. in that syrian suits is to save the kurds from the tyranny and suppression of the terror group trumps declaration that he's pulling out of syria suddenly through things into a state of flux us allies the white b.g. who had lived and depended on american protection suddenly face being left alone

with hostile turks rebels isis syrians on all sides their own arab allies ready to dump them reportedly and u.s. national security advisor john bolton is desperately trying to secure a future safety for his could this allies we're going to be discussing the president's decision to withdraw but to do so from northeast syria in a way that makes sure that the chance of israel and other friends in the region. is absolutely assured and to take care of those who fought with us against isis and other terrorist groups at the end of the day the u.s. will leave the kurds understand this obviously and they're fast tracking the goo she sions with president asaad with the syrian government according to various reports reconciling perhaps obviously they have their differences but it's

a hostile neighborhood friends a few and far between and as we see now they can leave at any moment during the games of conflict in syria much of the country's cultural heritage was deliberately destroyed by islamic state terrorist but some places did escape like the grave of abel outside the red mosque and switch is now welcoming visitors once again. mission of. the thousand years going to the grave was not protected by anyone later the drews king took responsibility we've been guarding this place for militants they do not scare us.

out of it but all and a lot of people have donated money so we can renovate the cave. u.k. government staged traffic jams being branded a waste of time and too little to light it was supposed to be a rehearsal for a no deal breck sits near the port city of dover a playboy has the details. 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 the department of transport hyatt a number of trucks and got them to drive from this disused fire a number of small roads owned to the port of dover 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 brought looks like now.

they're not a good representation of a bad situation and chaos in the event of a no deal breakers it and there was a bit of criticism for the government's contingency planning first and foremost it came from the old story 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 but i'm preferably on a bigger scale it should have been continuous stress tested i don't many truck drivers will be impressed by this what we need is a deal through police the transition deal business is simply not ready for this briggs it. the local m.p. referred to the whole thing as a wild goose chase as well and 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 all continuing to surround the issue of bragg's it here in the u.k. and of course brags it 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 to 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 bragg's it where contingency planning like the sort that we saw today from the department for transport it's not going to look so funny anymore. seen as a victory by animal rights activists to province in belgium has banned the traditional muslim and jewish methods for slaughtering animals is joined a handful of other european regions which are prohibited the production of hello and kosher meat 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's the last day in which kosher meat and poultry can be prepared in belgium 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 who've called the ban a humane development they want to keep living in the middle ages and continue to slaughter without stunning and the dignity didn't get to desist back then without having to answer to the law flounders joins sweden norway iceland mark and slovenia and providing no exceptions for hillel and kosher meat we heard from the chairman of the islamic human rights commission in the u.k. and also a belgian based journalist on the possible implications of the ban. i've seen myself oxen and cows being killed and the animal is sent panic before because the stern fairy slowly to have their head down and then only killed and one at the throat is slit it takes more than one minute before it becomes cincom unconscious so it is pure cruelty for three four minutes is not that it's caught in the truth

of the animal the means are trees on either side are actually caught the second that you do know blood flows through the brain so brain sees to function no pain no hardship and this is what is known proven if you listen to north oratory of islam. of the great mosque in paris he says that to him the stunning is acceptable if the animal could come back to its senses after the stunning which is the case and i think by the way that fifty percent of muslims in belgium believe that indeed animals could be or should be stunned before being killed following the ritual i think. from one individual in paris as a norm on behalf of the all the muslims and all the jews in the country it really is outrageous mr bucket that i mention turley is the image of the create just

mosque in france so it's not anybody is it old girl some might be just concern about the here and the more right what really there is the whole lives of people who are trying to undermine the right of minority muslim or the jewish community and make him feel uncomfortable filled make him feel that they're not really part of that society but tolerance and acceptance of minorities goes to a certain point there are laws for example that we don't accept. we don't accept poly give me we don't accept marriages of. of underage girls we don't accept to hitch up in the public space that's our laws sorry nine belgians out of ten support this stunning issue so laws are made by the majority and we must respect the citee even if it's understand it's a bit emotional i mean the jews community members and the muslim community members are belgium too we can have

a situation there do we have your state issues of majority exposing and putting pressure on minorities for no reason as i said scientifically proven there is no extra hardship is brought on the mall when it is not 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 a german m.p. is recovering after a vicious assault which police say was politically motivated and which could have cost him his life at our next news after the break.

what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want. to go right to be close that's what it looks like three of them or ten people. interested in the waters of our. city.

an m.p. from the right wing alternative for germany party is fighting for his life after being brutally attacked in the northwestern city of braman across this frattini in berlin correspondent paul of a polish summer if it pictures circulating on the news site so what are the authorities saying there. what do you know as you say it is a member of the german parliament belonging to the far right alternative for germany the a.s.d. posse has suffered serious injuries after being attacked by three men as he exited a new york reception they were. held at a local theater in the northern german city of bremen on monday now the party has issued a statement in which he described this as an assassination attempt what we understand happened to the parliamentarian mr frank magnet is that he was knocked unconscious on to the ground and as he lay there these three men continued to beat him the incident was only stopped after reportedly

a bulldozer intervened and chased the main away now the three suspects are stood at large the police in the local prosecuting officer office have opened an investigation and the politician himself has been described as being in a serious condition he is in hospital with a head wound we've also heard from and if the spokesperson saying that this is a black day for democracy in germany this is not the first time that members of this party have been threatened with extreme violence you might remember that last may hit of a demonstration that they held here in the city of berlin and meat and other left wing extremists threatened to stop that demonstration by whatever means necessary or so last thursday a bomb went off outside a local office belonging to the party in the city of the tube and now three suspects were arrested in that incident there was no loss of life but there was extensive damage both to the office and to nearby buildings and although the motive of that attack has not been conclusively proven police are working on the

assumption that it was politically motivated. thanks for. posting in germany the leader of one of the country's most powerful parties has hinted at a second chance to join a governing coalition it would see christiane lindows free democratic party team up with i'm going to see to you the greens it was a failed attempt to creating a similar coalition in 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. new opportunities in our rising there's a phase of uncertainty again of this the new setup we're in a kind of transition period era is drawing to clues and everyone knows that and she knows it as well thought germany needs a new start and new more transitional period in which nothing gets decided. 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 chances departure our europe correspondent peter all of us sums up i'm going to merkel's twenty eighteen the clock is ticking on time in germany she's already stood down as chair of the c.d.u. party and has said she won't run for another term in 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 her bavarian sister 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 have this coalition in fighting no paled in comparison to what we saw in the eastern city of cam that 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 in bavaria where the first to be hit with heavy losses then it was the turn of pass 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 its dark skin so you know when there isn't hasn't been a good example in the past few months it won't be a vote for the sunday you will be voting for the future of your home and that didn't help and while there were prove all raking in the last weeks all the center left the green party may. all right to me as well in fact. when. you get. single regional parliament and also of course being represented in the bundestag as well. this is america taking the chance.

if stays on as chancellor until twenty twenty. post war leader the election of her. as the new chair of the c.d.u. party gives 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 the. united states is raising concerns over china's role in building infrastructure in israel is particularly worried about the northern port of haifa which is a frequent dock for u.s. warships you she was among the topics raised by the u.s. national security adviser john bolton on his visit to israel on sunday according to reports a chinese company has been 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 trumpet ministration is now reportedly worried about the chinese increasing their influence across the middle east despite those fears israel's hopeful about further friendship with china. most important this is for sure every year roughly in europe. meanwhile israeli exports to china in the first half of twenty eighteen showed a seventy three percent year on year increase mordecai kadar who's an expert in israeli arab relations thinks that israel's dealing with china regardless of american sensitivities america is very concerned whenever any country which cooperates with a million cooperates with a competitor also of america like china may be. india in some cases where apparently those who are the chinese. maybe even signed with them did not take into account the american sensitivities. now when america

raises these things. and we have we might have to recalculate the old with china because as you know we still depend on america in many cases so we definitely have to listen to americans' concerns about our business with the cheney's. i've got to find out thanks for choosing all to international for news this hour next firsthand accounts of a controversial interrogation technique used in the u.s. that's caused suspects to admit to crimes they didn't commit. the country has gone into a nihilistic fever. and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america take them to charlotte is the genius of the

quintessential american hero this is a weak point around which ultimate is going to say we always are on the bridge just a lot. gun culture is moving forward. we're starting last with is moving ahead of east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast and i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more ground on the left it may be completely different but the end of history. when i was choked small seemed wrong when all roads just don't hold. any world yet to stamp out this thing becomes agitated and in gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see of that. at the time a local television reporter from detroit is following the case closely bill proctor is well aware of the methods used by local police to close certain cases as quickly as possible. they did this all the time. they had people make statements whether in writing or they did the writing they had some buddies and with the suggestion that hears this and you can go home i've heard that doesn't. sound dozens of them and it wouldn't

surprise me at all with a real number doesn't run into the hundreds or thousands because the same cadre of bad detectives that probably were two dozen of them were in place for over thirty five years. were marked on her. medication. with no evidence or witness statements against him on the seventh of march one thousand nine hundred ninety seven lamar monson is sentenced to fifty years of criminal imprisonment for the murder of christina brown . only one element was used against him the confession that he signed. it and believe that this is going to pay. off usually they're not going to want to be in prison on. something that i wouldn't wish them off worst enemy just being processed. for you to go into or sail

on the whole process of a stone comfortable. you feel like your freedom is being siphoned away from me. and tell you one thing about them are. i think that the last time he saw his daughters they were looking occurred to me. but everything he told me to do for her . in the matters and in his car. everything he said do for her she never had a word for anything because the father was not around and she was upset and angry her mother too was because the mar wasn't here to help her train.
