8:07 pm
difference you're all good we will all be learn from. these yellow vests appeared to be in favor of a hardcore no deal version of bragg's it in recent weeks they've started staging small regular protests in westminster where they refer to the prime minister as a traitor they've also become known for their heckling of politicians and journalists near paula meant that we have to be absolutely i do object to being called a nazi actually. for the. greater screw you just try just feel sorry for your parents raising straw. for you my dearest little bawling. oh oh oh. oh oh oh. oh it's now emerged that one prominent self-styled yellow vest leader is james god he's a supporter of the far right english defense league post islamophobia comments

online and live streams a lot of his so-called political activism. uses crowd funding to collect donations from supporters but after the uproar over the group's intimidating behavior in westminster last week facebook and pay pal have removed his accounts updates on his twitter feed claim he's been silenced and he won't answer r.t.s. requests for an interview he has put up an alternative funding page online with a message saying that now more than ever it's important to be heard so unlike in france here in the u.k. it looks like it's a case of two causes keen to claim one vest the original yellow vest movement mushroom organically and spontaneously across france in response to a non popular tax hike whereas in a way the symbol of the yellow vest here in the u.k. is still up for grabs the left wing incarnation is moderate it's aligned to groups
8:09 pm
like the people's assembly and the stop the war campaign although they repeatedly stated aim is none other than bringing down the conservative government in favor of a labor one then there's the right wing yellow vests a group that on the surface just appears angry that the brags that they voted for could be slipping away from them and also appears to contain members with far right sympathies who might be donning these yellow vests in order to legitimize their views whatever you make of the movement it appears that they're trying to capitalize on a french fashion one that appeared effortless in france but is looking a bit try hard here in the u k. and until stereotypic to vist in the u.k. told us the far right has been trying to hijack the. so it takes inspiration from the french movement which had taken on the french government for similar reasons the demands they're making are similar to what we've been campaigning for years on
8:10 pm
around housing austerity public services and the rest and they're winning that whether you voted leave or remain is irrelevant the fact is that a stereotype is literally killing people in this country it has reached detrimental levels and we need this tory government now and that's something that should unite us the far right we're trying to use that and mobilize it against refugees and migrants and ethnic minorities are not welcome in our demonstration and we will make it clear tomorrow that we have campaign against the racist scapegoating by this government we support refugees we were involved in the convoy to kill a few years ago and that is well movement stands for. more news from paris now three people have been killed after a large explosion ripped through a bakery in the city center forty seven other people were injured with ten said to be in a critical condition. a

8:12 pm
a bomb we were asked you know what's happening nobody has a clue of what's happening like twenty minute after that which up close on to. live. a biathlon star has refused to shake hands with a russian rival who came back from a dating bank for his first world cup stage where eleven time world champion martin for carter france blank alexander logan of it completed a two year ban in twenty sixteen r.t. correspondent don of the story. this world cup stage victory is the first big win for alexander log enough since he ended his two here doping disqualification but for the russian the moment is somewhat shadowed by the reaction of people he beat in the race for them the fact that he was a cheat still wrangles i'm not happy that logan offers one i'm ok with the fact
8:13 pm
he's allowed to compete now but he won't get my respect as he's never apologized for doping we need to be fair his victory is a disgrace logan of himself could have apologized in front of the biathlon thermally if you use drugs there is no place for you here but if you show you progress about what happened people will find it much easier to trust you logon of fans have been pointing out that the athlete served his sentence he himself says he's ready to personally talk this thing over with any of his fellow athletes you're going to. like it repeating and i say that to everybody open for dialogue with anybody or fleet and i'm ready to answer all of their questions face to face his full story basically revolves around the fact that right before this sortie lympics in twenty fourteen one of his former doping tests came out positive he got caught taking the same drug that brought down disgraced cyclist lance armstrong's

8:15 pm
spite of hostility towards them following doping scandals and many proved that even having cheated once it doesn't mean the person will repeat their fence a sports lawyer told us there is no justification for the french athlete behavior the older athletes have to expect and respect. his personality and that he's doing well exceptionally well now and i think it's it has to do with respect to such behaviors cannot be justified i think everybody knows that all the press and the media as day or a little bit. against russia actually and perhaps nobody has the real let's say
8:16 pm
power to to say something or the the braveness to say well let's stop here he served his ban. we have to accept and respect him still to come on r.t. the u.s. secretary of state has branded the venezuelan government is in a jet a minute that story and more after the break. i just gone into a nihilistic fever i think. the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the charlatan is the genius of this place the central american hero this is it we've come a point around which allen is done so we always are on the margins something. called the culture listening party. we're
8:17 pm
starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more ground zero this may be completely different but the end of history. as a spa you have to really split your own personality into two you that is that committed to hardest that was still alive within me and then that is the person who wanted to counter everything they want to do and then try and dismantle everything they were doing so you have to really become a good doctor you know to do. you have to follow your own family in order to pull the. welcome back to. come back to this information has become something of
8:18 pm
a crusade and the latest weapon to appear is a plug in called new scots websites for that trustworthiness and that has been taking a look. and casey didn't know the words plug in don't only refer to do in this but the one word option is actually a handy extension for your internet browser and now there's a great plugin to help you navigate through the world of fake news it's called news guard it won't paying up fake news alerts like the anti virus software when you click on a story link for now news guard provides descriptions for news sources not individual articles or stories right here you can see what it looks like a green read racing's signal if a website is trying to get it right or instead has a hidden agenda or no need publish is full of propaganda so there's a whole rating system with as many as nine criteria stuff like the responsibility
8:19 pm
of journalists or telling a part news from opinion to name a couple so who are the champions in being as green as you can get the new york times or the washington post with a perfect record for all nine categories despite having been caught for publishing lies and it was in a one off news guard will tell you they're nowhere near being repeat offenders now someone would definitely call that fake news so technically what makes the alert switch from green to red or vice versa. we use humans not algorithms to identify unreliable needs because we believe what should be done with transparency and accountability i knew it it's up to human beings paid on job opes one of the news guard's biggest investors formerly of the wall street journal was blamed for turning out fakes the news guard advisory board is also worth having a look at it features a scheme to men like the former director of the cia and n.s.a.
8:20 pm
the first secretary of homeland security and the bush administration barack obama's former undersecretary of state for public diplomacy by the way where church stengel once said i'm not against propaganda every country does it and they have to do it to their own population and i don't necessarily think it's that often but these folks running the show it's pretty easy to guess if our team falls into the red or green territory so go download that plug in asap and always be cautious when you read r t or anything else news guards turned tomato red eyes just for fun downloaded the app in preparation for this interview and i looked at l.a. times dot com which is the web site of the los angeles times which gets a green rating which means that the website is considered trustworthy and print yeah usually princess true and verifiable information now i'm personally suing the
8:21 pm
los angeles times right now for defamation and lie because they printed lies about me so i know that the rating is not one hundred percent reliable for first hand so that was my fact that was my test the leadership of the of the news guard is unfortunately people who have kind of a fraught relationship with the truth in the past and who have way too many ties to the establishment and particularly to get what we would call the deep state here in the united. former cia and n.s.a. people i would say are pretty much like the last people you would want to. create this kind of. the u.s. secretary of state has lashed out at the newly reelected president of venezuela saying he has no legitimacy and smite compares with were backed up by the state department the mature
8:22 pm
a regime is illegitimate and the united states will work diligently to restore a real democracy to that country the people of venezuela deserve to live in freedom in a democratic society governed by the rule of law it's time to begin the orderly transition to a new government might pompei was speaking two days after nicolas maduro began a new six year term as venezuela's president and the head of venezuela's opposition run congress has called the inauguration illegal. described president maduro as a user per and accused him of tending the country into a dictatorship speaking at a rally on friday though said he was ready to temporarily take over the presidency to hold new elections and here to the armed forces to support him nicolas maduro has ruled venezuela since the death of former leader hugo chavez in twenty thirteen during that time the economy has nosedived needing to hyperinflation and food shortages the president has consistently blamed u.s.
8:23 pm
sanctions for the situation in his country and accuse the opposition of sabotaging the economy. this is an attempt to destabilize us let them us can play their game because they're mocking their own people we will continue our work because there is much that needs to be done for venezuela i feel to the people of venezuela to mobilize and remain steadfast. for me u.s. diplomats jim doctress believes washington should avoid interfering in venice where liz and turn of affairs. this is clearly a declaration that washington's goal is a regime change look i don't think it is appropriate for any government to say to the people of another country whether their constitutional process sees have been the widget of the leaves fall or not whether government is legitimate and to use this as grounds for trying to change the government of that country i think some degree of. in order is worth the economy look i'm not
8:24 pm
a socialist i don't like the economics of it for and over as well in government but i don't see why it's in the interest united states to increase the misery of people through sanctions what amounts to siege warfare that harms the most vulnerable people in order to accomplish a political regime change just seems to me not a very good neighborly policy. now feed can and messy as. paper found out that softer it came with the origin of a puppet and made any steps.

8:27 pm
people what you can't have everything and then failing to deliver on them everything at all we should be fabric here and say ok you can have cheese like some kind of peace you can have some kind of democracy you can have some kind of justice in the short term but unfortunately we cannot feel everything at the same time and so someone has to make a choice. nobody could see coming that false confession this would be that profile in this book the wish the both the birch. had any interest geisha out there what you'll see is promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of them turkish news designed to put people in just that frame of mind to make the most uncomfortable makes them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept or deny. she said therefore we're already. then i would
