quote a waste of time. twenty four hour news live from russia's capital city welcome to moscow and to r.t. international good to have your company top story yet more revelations of u.s. democratic meddling have emerged this time concerning a special election in the state of alabama in twenty seventeen the report says that fake social media accounts of a so-called dry campaign were designed to tie the republican candidate with temperance bopped this to try and decimate his voter base. 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 would among the all my stuff follow my lead by abstaining from the devil's tonic i pledge 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 to live to the age where ever lived 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 won't keep on this 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 on writer joan griffin believes us democrats using all means to gain power risks harming ties i'd cite americans 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 better or that's it i do believe that there's always going to be a new salon or new york times story or having to 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 without it the rest of us aren't laughing because there are so many on informed human beings who vote in the united states. m.p. from the right wing turn to for germany party is fighting for his life after being brutally attacked in the northwestern city of breman with more than what we know here's polis lier. a member of the german parliament belonging to the far right alternative for germany the a if the party has suffered serious injuries after

being attacked by three men as he exited the new year reception that was 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 onto the ground and as he lay there these three men continued to beat him the incident was only stopped after reportedly a builder intervened and chased the main away now the three suspects are stood at large the police in the local prosecuting 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 have a demonstration that they held here in the city of learn. and other left wing

extremists threatened to stop the demonstration by whatever means necessary also last thursday bomb went off outside a local office belonging to the party in the city of toobin 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. it will keep attention in germany a little bit longer because the leader of one of the country's most powerful parties has hinted at the governing coalition wants again being established though it would see christian leaders free democratic party team up with. the greens there was a feel the term creating a similar coalition in twenty seven following a general election but this time around there's a catch listener wants merkel to step down as chancellor no not in twenty twenty

one she proposed. it's peter's reach our new opportunities in our rising there's a phase of uncertainty really the end of this will be nice and stop 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 a new mood transition period in which nothing gets decided is well 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 or europe correspondent peter all of us sums up i'm glad merkel's twenty eight days the clock is ticking order time in germany job 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 true then followed to avoid the prohibition eventual prohibition of state should be immediately turned away. eventually a solution was found at least at least what's important here is the results there are a few nuances that i have clarified that i'm now 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 rock the 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 it starts going 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 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 fans the left the green party made. on the right alternative for germany may well in fact be

immigration 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 of every town. feel that many people have. if stays on as chancellor until twenty twenty become germany's longest serving post-war leader the election of her protege. as the new chair of the c.d.u. party gives a better chance of happening however should that relationship sour at all or if we see a repeat of some of the problems of twenty eighteen when the good ship merkle could

well be sunk well before that. let's move to another headline stories russian military police started to patrol the syrian city of. they say their main goal to provide security and stability in the region. takes a look now at how the city has become pivotal in the syrian conflict. this safe zone a buffer zone really was established after kurdish y p g forces moved out they handed the area over to the syrian government the syrian army and it was declared a demilitarized zone. patrolled by russian military police monitors who arrived on the seventh of january now the kurds weren't acting out of altruism but because turkey was and is

threatening to invade use the y.p. g p k k its terrorist. because the turkey started to incurred zora tional 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 tower group trumps declaration that he's pulling out of syria suddenly threw things into a state of flux u.s. allies the white b.g. who had lived and depended on american protection suddenly face being left alone with hostile turks rebels isis and 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 those could issue allies we're going to be discussing the

president's decision to withdraw or to do so from northeast syria in a way that makes sure that the stance 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 us will leave the kurds understand this obviously and they're fast tracking negotiations with president asaad with the syrian government could into 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 another aspect to what has been happening in syria during the years of conflict there much of the country's cultural heritage was deliberately destroyed by islamic state terrorists but some places did escape like the grave of able to muskets which

is now welcoming visitors once more. the thousand years go to the grave was not protected by anyone late to the druze king to corresponds to billets we've been guarding this place for militants they do not scare us.

but all and a lot of people have donated money so we can renovate the cave. seen as a victory by animal rights activists a province in belgium has bombed a traditional muslim and jewish methods for slaughtering animals it's joined a handful of other european regions which are prohibited the production of how kosher meat a new law states should be stoned before slaughter so without their incapable of feeling pain kosher and allowed rituals however require the animals to be in good health and fully conscious but the latest decision in the belgian region of flanders which could lead to a nationwide ban as i'd wager religious communities. today's 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. of course there's the other side of the argument to opponents of the religious tradition they say about the ban is a humane development they want to keep living in the middle ages and continue to school to without stunning and they did mean didn't get to desist back then without having to answer to the little well the overall picture here flounders join sweden norway iceland denmark slovenia and providing no exceptions for kosher meat now we heard from the chairman of the islamic human rights commission in the u.k. and then the other side of the coin belgian based journalist on the possible implications of the bot. i've seen myself oxen and cows being killed and the animal sent panic before because of 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 cut in the truth of the animal the means are trees on either side are actually caught the second that you do no 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 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 greatest mosque in france so it's not anybody is it old girl some might be just concern about the use of them or ride really 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. under-age girls we don't except to hitch up in the public space that's our goal 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 that we have a state issued 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 animal when it is not over it is a accurately according to islam 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 as their last to come on the program after the break including a former boxer is under arrest in france after allegedly turning his skills against riot police they are.

what holds his hands to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to. have two going to be press this is what the four three of them all can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of. course. you know like the e.k.g. for countries is their ten year bond rate you look at that you say oh the country the country is not healthy well looks like big health of the chinese economy based on that their interest rates are better than america. joining me everything on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us a little bit politics sports business i'm show business.

twenty one minutes into the program welcome back a u.k. government stage traffic jam has been branded a waste of time and too little too late it was supposed to be a rehearsal for a new deal breaks it near the port city of dover. has been looking into. 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 brags 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 hiatt a number of trucks and got them to dry from this disused at four via 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 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 blaming should have been done many months ago and only the biggest screw it should have been continues and stressed to i don't mean a truck driver will be impressed by this what we need is a deal or at least a transition to business is simply not true for a bridge that 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. lauri's kin sake traffic jam using eighty seven lorries to try and see what five thousand plus will do is so perfectly on brand breck's 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 maybe 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 math 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. just

over the channel for more probably the speaking there are former french boxer who was wanted for allegedly punching policeman of a yellow vests protest at the weekend has turned himself in he posted an explanation for his actions on facebook. i saw the repression that was the i saw the police. i've seen the police hurt people with flash balls i've seen people hurt of sin pensioners get i've seen a lot of things i was gassed on the last day yes i want to dance in the riot police was gassed with my friends and my wife i was gassed and for a moment the anger came up in me yes well i wrecked badly i reacted badly but i was defending myself and that's a. christoph remains in police custody but those years of the funding campaign has been launched to help him the french interior minister says all the pressures will be brought to justice. but. here i want to say to all

the police and john down and fire fighters who have been targeted and experience violence during their work and in particular over the course of the last few weeks but they can count on my support and complete determination to systematically identify and bring to justice their aggressors and their celebrate the surrender but he knew he had been identified and sought out of the individual who on saturday in paris brutally deployed on this bridge they are here and i salute them still more people happy. to. see. the maulvi. people. who just wanted to take you. about your vehicle. i want you as you can we just. want to see all torn if you do with me said your technical to me a call to now the press and quds force who want to do to get to know who.

wants to torture me when i. well know can i get you to go you want to see last interview was got rid of the spike the condemnation from the minister he had to comment on another controversial video where a prominent police officer is seen beating protesters on twitter there were calls for equal justice on the officer is now under investigation after an injured woman filed a complaint. then peas in france have an escape the wrath of the yellow vests protesters either the home of one member of the country's ruling party was barricaded shot on sunday. on sunday morning i was a bit shocked by the wall of blocks there aren't fifty of them i couldn't leave my home and it prevented any one from coming in because of that i'm very disappointed very disappointed it's happened before the attack centers are blocked by the sea

walls i thought immediately above that the yellow vests associate the taxed offices with mccrone and his dismissal. the couldn't get all truckers right on the latest on the appeal case of a prominent political prisoner it is a packed to the rafters watching the hawks and its next. us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the 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 was with them 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 for uneasiness for. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to stamp out this thing become active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

greetings and salutations 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 and 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 in a 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 that president trump did find the time during our illustrious government.
