5:02 am
a closer look at syria again is accusing the united states of. the u.s. led coalition committed a new crime against innocent syrian civilians. villian camp in the village of who's in the countryside of the governor of deer is all sixteen civilians including seven children were killed and seventy civilians most of them women and children were injured syria again calls on the un security council to stand up against these crimes and attacks and to shoulder its responsibilities in the maintenance of international peace and security here's what happened near east syria is a small village which happens to be one of the last islamic state on claves in syria and it is in the firing line the u.s. led coalition its troops and allies on the ground are pressing it from all sides
5:03 am
and the media's there to watching this isis village burton final push to defeat isis in the villages their last remaining stronghold in northeastern syria days away from victory days before they saw the end of the caliphate the problem and a serious one and that is that aside from the five six hundred isis fighters there are hundreds upon hundreds of civilians innocent whom the terror group was holding hostage using its human shields liquid you can lucian killed a lot of fun unless they killed a lot of fatherless a lot of children this time the u.s. led coalition hit a mosque and the coalition has a rule never to hit mosques they're protected except when it stops being a mosque because the pentagon says so this mosque lost its protected status when isis deliberately chose to use it as a command and control center lot of first time they hit the mosque which stopped
5:04 am
being a mosque packed with people the incident near aleppo springs to mind yes the coalition takes all reports of civilian casualties seriously investigate for months or years . writes an apology note when everyone's forgotten and moved on almost always the terrorists fault yes the u.s. is fighting terrorists in syria but it was never invited to it invited itself then to be able to say good job boys we beat isis it should be formally announced sometime probably next week that we will have. one hundred percent of the caliphate . but i want to wait for the official word and i want to say too early we have one good study says we've beaten them and we've beat now badly now we've won you could in that vacuum see a resurgence of ice and see
5:05 am
a resurgence you know they're running out we'll come back if we have to and when it comes to the issue about falling ice and terrorism middle east expert says washington has found a new way to explain away some uncomfortable truths what we know for sure that the americans showed disregard for human life and for infrastructure what is happening this time around is that previously they would say you know we would don't treat investigation whenever a toll of civilians lives were lost nowadays they seem to have pre three said justifications so for example yesterday they bombed a mosque in the same village bows and they've issued a statement that we bombed a former mosque which lost its status because he was turned by a dietitian to a command and control center so now they've come prepared. for whatever criticism they might face but we don't think that this acuity council will will take any steps which that the united states is not alone in this sort of illegal. presence
5:06 am
in syria had. leaked documents reveal that a u.k. based campaign group was involved in trying to strip off the twenty twenty to fifty four world cup it offered to spread negative news about the gulf kingdom in return for a hefty fee that the group is headed by a prominent u.k. strategist to actually run former british prime minister david cameron's election campaign. he picks up the story it's almost a tradition now that every time a major football tournament is to take place scaremongering about the host country gets. into full swing unless it's a country like germany of course in less than four years qatar will become the first middle eastern state to host the world cup and everyone's got something to say there are even whole books written about it qatar has won its right through
5:07 am
foul means the tiny middle east country of qatar may have won the right to host it due to a secret campaign to sabotage rival beard's sunday times newspaper is alleging that those involved in katter's world cup bid team ran a kind of secret black ops campaign designed to sabotage its main rivals bits this time however it may have gone beyond just bad headlines newly documents seen only by the guardian newspaper and the spin watch competing groups suggest that a famous political strategist company c.d.f. partners was speech to a contract to make sure qatar's dream of welcoming the world's best footballers collapsed how by spreading negative stories about qatar in the mainstream media associating dollar with terrorism running fake grassroots campaigns and social media and lobbying friendly politicians journalists and academics so initially this is the other techniques of the p.r. world isn't a deception as many puting social media is trying to propose the problem
5:08 am
with the qatari government is here to support terrorism and extremists in the muslim world now of course this is a set of techniques which they've used before to try and suggest that the country should isolate which are based on nothing very much the c.t.f. partners company both a major success in political campaigning it led the u.k.'s conservative party to an unexpected general election victory in twenty fifteen it's found they he is certain lynton crosby was awarded knighthood from the van prime minister david cameron so there is little surprise that somebody would hire these company for. job probably just as difficult to put direct pressure on sci fi to reverse its decision about holding the twenty twenty two world cup in qatar here's a quote from the leaked documents we would identify all potential allies in the media politics industry academia and government should reach out to them going
5:09 am
a deliberate attempt to inform and motivate them about the need to reconsider cattles hosting of the world cup in twenty twenty two below suggested that the c.t.f. partners company was interested in that job not only given it and name project ball detailing the concrete plans to fulfill it but even putting a price tag on it three hundred thousand pounds a month with the overall price for the contract exceeding five million however in a statement to the guardian it denied and tearing into that contract it is legitimate for one party to use the services of people or entities or clients to put important information into the public domain and in fact to man or the big question is who was the client both the guardian and spin watch point at qatari opposition figure. who is based in london and has a history of organizing events against the ruling powers of three hundred thousand pounds a month for a p.r.
5:10 am
contract for this client to. clear a boy want to be qatari prince who lives in london. we have reached out to hollywood all hail for comment but we haven't heard from him yet according to the lawyers for cross protect never took up the contract so that's what we're led to believe is the case so it's not entirely clear whether the coroner. involved the court. so we're still unsure but there is no direct evidence that such a legit attempts to hire political strategists to discredit host countries of a major tournament have. existed before but ask yourself would you be surprised if . considering that every time the world is about to enjoy a feast of football the media and politicians are having a field day. reporting from moscow we contacted c.t.'s those who
5:11 am
gave us a reply that they said we could not report we have asked them for the clarification . the us state of north dakota is seeking to restrict access to public records related to police and government operations let's offer a number of law enforcement abuses were exposed and also use caleb maupin reports you're a member the protests out in standing rock in response to the dakota access shale oil pipeline it seems like old news but two cases are actually pending in federal court still and at this point we've got many people who can remember how horrified they were when they saw the government's response to peaceful protesters.
5:12 am
well critical legal information about what actually happened during those protests may soon be unavailable to the public a billion and a mislead passed by the north dakota state senate would forbid. publishing of information and records related to quote critical infrastructure that term might sound vague but pipelines are actually included and now they say that this new law is necessary because of cyber security but it's going to be a big relief to police and other law enforcement agencies that actually complained
5:13 am
about the release of such information in a document that was made public via records request however they were far more critical in emails that were leaked one non credentialed media group involved in high profile actions would request publicly available records to a done a fine law enforcement agencies and persons involved i'm still doing some checking on the legality of everything and what i'm forced to release. is there a preemptive way to prevent the city of bismarck from disclosing any law enforcement product produced by bureau of indian affairs personnel leaked documents also show that a private security firm noticed tiger swan was heavily involved in the crackdown on the protestors documents show them referring to the protesters as jihad ists and insurgents since the movement generally followed the jihad this insurgency model while active we can expect the individuals who fought for and supported to follow a post insurgency model after its collapse but despite all the bad press and
5:14 am
protests the dakota access oil pipeline is moving forward trump signed that on his fourth day in office to code access for. again subject terms and conditions to be negotiated by the us. and if the new north dakota law sealing records actually goes forward we may never know the full story of what happened when protesters got in the way of powerful oil companies. r.t. new york. have been major protests all across venezuela after the opposition called its supporters out onto the streets over the standoff regarding a u.s. aid one who proclaimed himself the interim leader set a ten day deadline to get aid deliveries into the country the president nicolas maduro meanwhile doesn't believe these convoys of anything to do with actually delivering humanitarian aid all the while though both men have been addressing
5:15 am
large crowds of supporters. taking to keep inviting soldiers of the country to join us will keep inviting the humanitarian aid to enter. because it will enter in venezuela no matter what because the usurper will have to leave when it's whaling no matter what. i mean i want to unite venezuela around one goal of peace i want peace for venezuela we all want peace for venezuela. now the drums of war go away but the threats of military intervention go away and let men is wailing saying one chorus with a single voice we want peace venezuela has suffered food and medicine shortages hyper inflation and he's even seen more than two million people flee the country on monday mr took to twitter to say that the first delivery of humanitarian aid had already been made including medicine for pregnant mothers and malnourished children however it's not clear how he can actually be in a position to say this and that's because president maduro has blocked u.s.
5:16 am
aid shipments and deliveries fearing that washington may be trying to use them to assist in some sort of coup now one of the key delivery routes will be a bridge between a colombia and venezuela however my daughter ordered that tankers be placed across the roads with the military also guarding the crossing it's worth noting perhaps that this bridge is two years old and has never been officially opened or officially used in the meantime venezuelans remain split on whether or not to support the u.s. deliveries pay that long why there is calling for a fatal war because it is a war against all the people of when is well not only against the president of the republic it is against all the people of venezuela any interference from other countries cannot happen over the heads of the venezuelan people we chose nicolas maduro not just doesn't really isn't crisis that's no secret and we need the humanitarian aid so yes it would be a blessing from have been for this humanitarian aid to inter-country because we
5:17 am
need it now everyone but those who are in hospital for example there are suffering a lot the goal of think a professor of latin american studies says any pretense of this crisis being a democratic process happening in venezuela is nonsense i don't for chile i think that it washington will continue on its current course of action this is become an ideological issue for them. when you have a master marco rubio you have might pay all you have mr john bolton and now elliott abrams directing the foreign policy in washington a sensually taking over the function of the state department we are are essentially on embarked on a course of regime change the us has embarked on this course previously since which of us was elected in one nine hundred ninety eight the us assad regime change across three different governments bush obama and now trump and will continue to
5:18 am
see an escalation of conflict in the context of venezuela versus the us meanwhile just across the caribbean sea haiti has seen a sixth day of violent unrest in the capital during anti-government protests own seventy eight prisoners at the local jail way to escape and one person was reportedly shot several protesters were badly injured. thank you. thank you. the president reportedly took advantage while police were distracted by the anti-government demonstrations protesters are demanding that the president of the poorest country in the caribbean step down and choose him and his government corruption and are angry over widespread economic hardship the past six days have seen violence looting and police clashes resulting in five deaths was that i don't think i. was. i don't want anybody to get out
5:19 am
of the front of the but i. thank you. i people want to come running. thank god with. the massive population. continues to be like he is going to hit it over the past decade from a tremendous support from venezuela to the tune of four billion dollars worth of oil which was provided to the haitians instead this money winds largely embezzled in this huge but it should be said that the venezuelan oil was essentially cut the petrol career was cut by the trump administration posing sanctions on mendis will look back in october two thousand and seventeen by india to cheap oil
5:20 am
that was keep the heat in the front of the flow so the haitian people are fed up they want this government out not only are they hungry inflation is double digit unemployment is double digit the economy is in a freefall b. us is complete double standard they are reluctant to. sanction the haitian government. because the haitian government is. giving them this service and it's a vote in the organization of american states still to come here on the program on several prominent french journalists may have ended their koreas after being caught out of online abuse so that story and much more and just. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of

5:24 am
come to light well it was accidently discovered when one newspaper laughingly perhaps carried out a fact checking exercise exposing two of its own journalists as not being only members but one of them actually founded the cyber bullying group several journalists have written. spend it through a range of outlets and some have even offered apologies although not everyone has held on to the feeling of guilt for very long to those jumping for joy and vengeful by saying phew well done to these idiots now we're going to clean up our own dirty laundry. for ten years these bullies have been operating like a pack getting high on power on the pain they could inflict in reality they've been experienced as what they really are the league of largely in the news is on the left the liberal media in france has been left with egg all over it space.

paris journalist elizabeth so she was shocked to learn it was fellow journalists behind this group. there are certain times young journalists are good with twitter the good with social media. they have the sort of boys gang mentality and they think it's very funny and these are people who are now in positions to commission people and whom these poor women there would have to do an awful story to after having me horribly harassed by by this group so this was fresh and pleasant i would have thought to find less educated people do but do journalists so the the group of journalists is a cross section of the population. for members of the alternative for germany parties youth wing had been attacked after being invited to a film festival to see a film about the holocaust they were attacked with glass bottles as they arrived at
