a cut clip of an alleged conflict between a bunch of teenagers and the native american man went on a tirade about how white the root cause of evil one theme of the conversations over the past twenty four hours how deeply familiar this look is it's the luke white patriarchy of course but that familiarity that banality is part of what prompts the visceral reaction this isn't spectacular it's life in america. once again the story fell apart after a full video of the confrontation became available showing that the kids did nothing wrong it wasn't then harassing people yet they're now getting death threats and that tirade is still up so here have some more authentic buzz feed funny adamant pictures none of it all that surprising when you take into account who founded buzz feed jonah peretti founder and c.e.o.

and apparently noted fraudster in the big article has revealed how mr peretti in two thousand and three stole the identity of a well known gun activist set up a website in his name and sent out hundreds of thousands of emails pretending to be someone he was not in an effort to sway public opinion on gun control in effect a massive fake news this information campaign he was sued for that and settled eventually after a year and a half we finally reach a legal settlement pretty also apologized to gold glass and took down jeff gold black dot com i received an undisclosed monetary settlement or take mr other little stunt detailed in the article this upset some student who set up a dating website rejection hotline with

a similar name to his own dating website rejection line peretti set up a website legibly for the express purpose of defaming someone ruining a person's reputation emails contained multiple lies about me and betrayed me as an arrogant jerk who was bragging about how i was stole the idea of the new york city rejection line reportedly and that website was also shut down as part of the settlement truly the apple didn't. all far from the tree begun by a man who seemingly specialized in fake news and this information in mobilizing and defaming people buzz feed continues the family tradition of these when its top posting vs sixteen adorable pops. we have a lot of bugs for you to comment on the allegations we are standing by. relations between canada and the u.s.

appear to be cooling the canadian envoy to washington said that his country's citizens are paying the price for the u.s. planning an extradition request for an executive from the chinese electronics while way we don't like that it is our citizens who are being punished the americans are the one seeking to have the full force of american law brought against men one joe and yet we are the ones who are paying the price while ways chief financial officer was detained in december in vancouver at the request of washington or they're released on bail she is accused of violating u.s. sanctions against iran. the arrest caused a diplomatic rift between canada and china with beijing detaining two canadian citizens and recently sentencing a third to death for drug smuggling in china both canada and the u.s. to correct their mistakes and free messmate. now much anyone with normal judgment can see that canada has made

a serious mistake on this issue from the very beginning we urge the canadian side to immediately release men one show and protect hella just cement rights we also strongly edge the u.s. to immediately cracks the mistake with draw the arrest warrant against men one show and not make a formal extradition request to canada. one canadian journalist told us the dispute has created an impossible dilemma for the country's government. or the canadian judicial system this is shameful but it's being done because of the pressure coming from the united states and canada has not too many ways to resist that pressure china could hurt sound i guess the united states can hurt count even more so now that being a small country if defenseless country really. has to to opt for the lesser of two evils the united states do whatever no matter what and so

canada can show some anger and the embassador can be speaking on the news or you know to american authorities making statements and not in a position to argue very much for the united states and will have to suffer the consequence is imposed by china. the construction of the north stream to pipeline to deliver gas from russia to europe is causing geopolitical concerns negotiations in brussels between russia ukraine and the e.u. regarding a transit deal to pos the gas through ukraine have failed to lead to a concrete agreement and europe is all of a sudden making changes to his legislation that complicate the construction of this pipeline. the commission remains fully committed to the gas that active amendment our aim is to have a coherent set of energy rules applied to offshore pipelines.

cities in the case. of youth on shore by clients meanwhile the u.s. has its own fears over the construction of the pipeline with trump repeating many times that it will play into the russian hands and the u.s. ambassador to germany sent out a warning that sanctions may be applied to countries who support north stream too. as you are aware the united states strongly opposes nord stream to the pipeline poses serious geopolitical consequences to our european allies and partners we continue to stress that firms operating in the russian energy export pipeline sector are engaging in activities that carry significant sanctions risk. but germany's energy minister responded by saying russia was our long term reliable partner adding that the warnings from washington won't change by lynn's plans and

me so i'm trying for engineer you see i is if the federal minister if i'm standing here not pale and not shaking i'm not afraid if someone sends a letter i can deal with it and not just officials but also the german public support the construction of the pipeline with more than seventy percent saying it's right to push ahead political analyst thomas fassbender thinks the u.s. is afraid that russia and europe will become closer both strategically and economically via north stream to is a certain fear of growing importance of a growing dependence a pair of europe as a whole or even not germany on russian gas there is an underlying fear that russia might interfere with the domestic politics and the pipeline is of course used as an instrument also to move against or to decrease the power in the influence of those in europe who favor a stronger and

a more normal relationship neighborly relationship with russia again. russia and the u.s. are in a ciccio strategic rivalry there is of course a certain fear in the us that europe and the us at and russia might move closer together. t.v. outlets c.n.n. is expanding its reach in latin america by opening a portuguese language station in brazil however the team heading the new operation don't quite seem to fit the c.n.n. mold. it.

a string of verbal attacks from italy on its neighbor on monday france some of the taliban ambassador of the italy's deputy prime minister luigi the mio accused paris of pursuing a colonialist policy in africa and of worsening the migrant crisis. we must address the causes of this crisis because people are leaving africa in part because some european countries led by friends have never stopped being colonized. a little bit been in the french i hope for the good of the french who are a great people that they come out of that moment of crisis micro it was a look oratory invented product to stand in a way of any change on the horizon that seems obvious to me now. earlier we spoke to political analyst alison throw politi who believes that there is a personal ill feeling between the french and italian leaders. be important

countries within the e.u. disagree strongly and not just because they are interests that can be negotiated but because there is a sort of us' feeling person feeling the important thing is not really what mccall does and it's not even true that you know the currency that is adopted by a number of african countries generates migration problems precisely towards it and is less than ten percent of the. legal migrants arriving neatly come from it's all about it's about consensus it's about. some of creating the image of quote unquote adversity truly that deputy premier is very interesting is in expanding is electoral results also viz a viz own coalition partners. officials in the french city of toulouse have created a special investigation group looking for extremists who commit violent acts during
