international news center here in moscow this is our team as you know neal good to have your company our top story further claims of election meddling by us democrats have emerged this time during the twenty seven state senate race in the alabama a new report has revealed activists trying to link the republican candidate with a bogus campaign to alcohol in order to undermine his support base up and has been tracking developments. 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 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 alive today he'd never live to see the stars and stripes we were rationed salute in the united states friend of america i'll fight the saloon from the high wire i will keep this long as i have a foot i'll watch it 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. well the u.s. democratic senator who won the alabama race in twenty seven dean scenes he was on aware of what had been hoping he also said that if any laws were violated during the campaign those responsible should be punished conservative commentator and writer john griffin to lists he believes the cynical electoral tactics being alleged are extremely damaging for the country 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 electoral accountability for their actions it's not helping diplomatic relations even though it's body 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. german prosecutors say the suspect arrested in connection with a huge data breach targeting iran to thaw politicians and public figures has confessed to being guilty the innocent came in a news conference earlier choose the let's go live now to paul leslie or for more all miss paula what are we learning about this situation. well german prosecutors

say that a twenty year old suspect has confessed to being behind the huge leak of personal data belonging to leading politicians and celebrities here in germany now they say that he posted darter last december using various twitter accounts they also say that there's no sign that there was any kind of third party involvement take a listen. we were able to find the data carrier which the suspect had hidden a few days before the search after the story hit the headlines we made a backup copy of this information is now available to the investigators during the course of the interrogation the suspect said he had acted alone the investigation is so far not established any third party involvement either. so who exactly is this guy well he's known as if he's twenty years old he is suspected of darter theft and leaks that targeted hundreds of german politicians and public figures he

said he was acting out of anger on statements that they had made now the hack and disseminated information included phone numbers e-mail addresses credit card details home addresses personal correspondence and photographs now prosecutors do say that this twenty year old has confessed but his alleged twitter account still has a post in which he says that he knows who is the presumed hacker and has no contact with him take a look. we've known each other for years and definitely distancing myself from the actions of no return and i'm not calling this a good thing if i thought it was i would never have spoken to journalists. now prosecutors say now prosecutors say that they haven't yet found any proof that there was a political motivation but the investigation is ongoing germany's interior minister has congratulated all of those who were involved in the investigation for their

success. paula thanks so much for bringing us right up to date policy live in berlin. and then p. from the anti migrant alternative for germany party is fighting for his life after being attacked in the northwestern city of braman on monday frank magnates suffered the serious injuries after he was attacked by three people the f.t. described the incident quote as an assassination attempt he remains in hospital in a serious condition and as we heard earlier from a party member no the if the bremen facebook page says the politician was knocked unconscious after he left a new year's reception at the theatre the party also said the attackers continued to beat magnets be on the head after he was on the ground police braman prosecutor's office are investigating the at. will last friday

office in lower saxony was also targeted in a violent attack no one was injured but the blasts cause severe damage to the building neighboring buildings the vehicles to were damaged well three suspects were also detained in connection with out the motive yet has not been established but police are working on the premise that it was politically motivated german lawyer and media pundits maximillian cratylus that if the members don't feel safe in many parts of the country now. there is an atmosphere in the country that every scene which is right wing. conservative is madness and evil and i think there are some who created seas and some crude nose who believe that they now have the right to get wild over these acts which are regretted by the jordie of people but in sexily there is no problem if there is it that once

there is a public hearing if he is able to to hold it when the on brain women who are in parts of but when it's possible to organize a demonstration or to have a public hearing that for instance included are also public hearing of three members of parliament and it couldn't be protected by the local police that means we have such an anti far left wing extremists all over today but the conditions especially. very hard made to the or ready it possible to have ordinary political life. it's another big story of the week russian military police say they have started patrolling a rural area to the west of the syrian city of man beach with a few to ensuring security there he's got more on the development really and how it is likely to ship the ongoing power struggle in that region. this safe zone a buffer zone really was established off the kurdish y.p. g.

forces moved out and 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 white b g p k k its terrorist. because the turkeys dogs in kurds are russian who took you star get to the kurdistan workers spot to tahrir groups one of the goals of turk to struggle against the p.k. k. in that searing of 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 us allies the y.p.

gee 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 adviser john bolton is desperately trying to secure a future safety for his could allies we're going to be discussing the president's decision to withdraw 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 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 but another big aspect of this is the united states national security advisor said on sunday the his trip country's troop withdrawal is no dependant on a number of current teens from turkey sonoma straightforward us we had been led to believe one of john bolton's the months was that i'm for ensure the safety of washington's kurdish allies in northern syria and at provoked an angry response from turkey that's the. the whole john bolton has made a grave mistake it is not possible to accept or swallow the message given by bolton from israel those who are in the terror corridor in syria who learn the necessary lessons for us there is no difference between the white p g p y d p k k and diet we

will very soon take action to neutralize the terrorist groups in syria. let's get some analysis of all this and bring on live to the program hey cohen a young a real chicken expert in modern turkish politics and welcome you are as well how do you think russia's presence in the countryside eroding be is going to affect the power struggle will it deter turkey from launching attacks against kurdish militants because it got so many players in such a condensed area around their. first of all we should understand something when turkey launched the year for this childer peroration and the all the branches peroration we should not forget that these two operations were conducted always when the turks updated the russian counterparts so in this regard i really don't think that the russian presence there. you know turks are going to go into this territory and i don't really think that there will be

a clash between the two. parties and that's why i really don't think that there will be a friction between russians and the turks and the think here is that also turks also americans and also russians should basically communicate and solve this problem together i suppose we also have to take into account of course that the u.s. has demanded that turkey guarnteed the security of the y. p g the kurdish groups and coordinate any military incursions with washington do you think that are is essentially going to budge those demands because no its strategic game seemed to be at odds with those of the other key players in the region. well and corey is totally disappointed that from what is going on from their perspective maybe bolton is not representing the president because president from the same something else and bolton is saying

something else from turkey's perspective there is no distinction between k. and p y d from their perspective this is a terrorist entity and they want to clear dishearten corydoras the whole in order to syrian corridor from this entity and this is a huge headache for them and of course the question is here whether russians will permit turks to enter d.c. area or whether. he why there will be replaced by bashar al assad's government forces so this is the real question hey i want to get your thoughts on something it was said not so long ago mike pump a zero secretary of state sais that the us played a major role in the defeat of ice in fact he went further than not let's listen together. we've taken down ninety nine percent of the caliphate ninety nine percent of the caliphate should be the first sentence in every story writes

everybody agree so the us has taken down one thousand nine percent of the caliphate how do you assess that statement. well one way or looking at the map you do see that in order to get to the caliphate to do two to one person the turks should pass from the north korea door you know if this is their task that donald trump basically imposed upon them so they should first of all enter the northern syrian enclaves and then later than that they should get rid of this one percent. the presence of isis so in this regard yes they are saying that mostly isis is defeated and what they're trying to say is it's nothing really left you know no serious business was left so they're trying to justify the u.s. we travel from syria that's how i see the things yeah complicated situation thanks for shedding some light on it research or at tel aviv university and an expert in modern at turkish politics hey. thank you

a former boxer is under arrest in front after allegedly turning his skills against riot police we go further into about one in about ninety seconds. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one to one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only

. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. iraq with our team international a former french boxing champion 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 there

i saw the police gusting us i've seen the police hurt people with flash balls i've seen people hurt a sim pensioners get tear gas i've seen a lot of things i was tear gassed on the last day yes i wanted to advance in the riot police was gassed with my friends and my wife i was gassed and for a moment the anger came up in the air yes well i reacted badly i reacted badly but i was defending myself and that's it. as far as we know at this stage christoph remains in police custody but he has received pledges of support on a funding campaign was launched to help him the french interior minister though seems all aggressors will be brought to justice. here i want to say to all the police and john don 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

celebrate the surrender he knew he had been identified and sort 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. just want you to think you can teach them about your vehicle dong are the only ones using them with just a couple of what i say he. got or lived with me or said your technical to me a call to know the path. to kuwait i only said do to get to know who. wants it or to leave well i don't know can i get you to go you want to see larsen of your concert and sharing despite in fact the image of condemnation yet to

comment on another controversial video which we're watching right now where prominent police officer is seen beating protesters on twitter there were calls for equal justice and in fact the officer is now under investigation after an injured woman filed a complaint then peace in france having escaped their wrath off the yellow vest protesters either the home of one member of the country's ruling party was barricaded shut on sunday. on sunday morning i was a bit choked by the wall made of blocks there were around fifty of them i couldn't leave my home and it prevented anyone 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 the crown and his dismissal. the french government is now seeking to crack down on the rioters prime minister edward felipe said tougher punishments will be introduced edging an interview on monday less no go live to

publisher and writer emerick maulvi able to speak on the issue good to see you again eric just on that last point we spoke about what kind of op dates to the law are you expecting to come in or we have already that kind of clause again to violent people but that the spirit of this new low used to trick the demonstrators like there where or who are against us in france you can prevent who you go to from going to to a football match but you will be the same with the dues traitors but the problem in a democracy you can't ban people from going from expressing their opinion for good good for to express their anger in a demonstration is so it's completely silly and you must we are in a context where they try to organize a debate and suddenly this at the same moment the press release that the woman who's in charge of this debate will be paid more than fourteen thousand euro per

month and she will have in front of her people we came out to their church their children were compelled at the end of the month to buy dog food dirt children and so blatant it's like at the time of the absolute monarchy there are two and it said if the people doesn't have bread like lake them eat cake if they doesn't have the. let them debate it then debate all the time and it's certain with a demonstration it's very simple with this new law for instance that they're proven to arrested people for wearing this kind of weapon of mass destruction you can suit i'm not come into power it's very dangerous you know it's women glasses if you're the government doesn't have anything to offer of her except blood sweat and tears just not there to what extent emerick does the french government risk inflaming the situation further then. or you know there is

a fairly which was close to the government so of course it's all about the police why not use their guns ok but people are not exactly catchall and there are human beings that can respond and you know in italy which is a country very close to to france in the seventy's people were carrying guns in the demonstration and nato created a response that was staged terrorism with the with the glad you know that was the network they showed you know in order to to this response and you can slip into it to say in civil war it's a very risky situation. because the government doesn't have any answer to any of them just to get your thoughts on this particular aspect despite the condemnation of the violence the yellow vests they have won concessions in past weeks do you think that would have happened if the protests had remained peaceful you know you have to distinguish between two kind of pressure you know you had this fight on

sunday under strict you have been cast but you don't have nothing to do with the real movements but the yellow dress the pressure is to to to block the roundabouts block all refineries to two to training the traffic and that's to block the economy and that's what annoys the government what annoys the big business it in france that's the main point that's the violence they cannot stand and they will oppose another. kind of violence staged violence against it what do we know what two months into these protests they don't like going away how long do you think this protest campaign is going to continue i just as a follow up to your last answer are more concessions like likely to be given to them. i know there's a blood sweat and tears but your sweats your blood and your gas against you and if you wear. glasses you know you're not

a good citizen you will be bad from demonstration with this kind of situation it's completely. there's no way out and because the government doesn't understand that it doesn't represent anybody anymore in this country it just finally home how serious a threat is this to the leadership of the french president. yes it's. either that's prime minister taking the rap because it doesn't work either thinks he will remain in power but it's completely. misleading in this in this position all right the rick thank you very much for coming on the show always good to have your company emerick mulvihill publisher on writer speaking to us from rome but. ok let's not return to syria because there's a big aspect currently being debated and that's the cultural issues out stake because since the conflict in syria up did eighty years ago twenty eleven much of

the country's cultural heritage has been deliberately destroyed by terrorists but some places have escaped unscathed like the grave of abel i cite the mosque which is now wealth coming visitors again just take a look at the people involved in. the thousand years going to the grave was not protected by anyone later the druze came 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. ok to join kevin all in for more updates off the top of the hour but before that mox is here in moments giving his verdict on who comes out on top in the heavyweight trade title by between the u.s. and china in the kaiser aboard and that's next.

i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know like the e.k.g. for countries is their ten year bond rating look at that you say oh the country's healthy the country's not healthy well looks like to health of the chinese economy based on the their interest rates are better than america what am i talking about let's talk with stacy well certainly investors see the chinese debt as less risky than the u.s. debt according to our first headline markets conclude the u.s. is riskier than china now the treasury has to pay a premium over chinese bonds to attract investors they see four major red flags in u.s. debt so we're going to look at those four major u.s. red flagged debts and i want to point out however we've just ended our new year

special from the you know our western new year we just finished the orthodox christmas yesterday and now we're heading into the chinese new year period soon so this is january is always a you know a crucial month into these the global geopolitics geo economics because all of these things kind of come together at the same point zero interest my birthday your birthday is january twenty third if you want to send max anything like that nasty tweeters. like any other day. well here's another reason don trump is not at all happy with the fed and will continue to be frustrated by the world's number two economy he is the first president to suffer the new normal a china becoming more credit worthy than the u.s. that's right america now pays more to borrow money then.
