question for you mr concert is how much longer will you continue to be the puppet. strings. documents revealed a u.k. based campaign group offered to spread negative news about cats to strip the kingdom of the twenty twenty two football world cup. and an iranian photographer. on twitter using a photo that she. speaks exclusively to. my protests against the street can be defined as social. good evening i welcome you watching international. it's a nice prime minister is fired back at senior european officials after he was accused of being a puppet of the. skeptic government during a tense exchange in e.u.

parliament because. the european project seems to have lost its momentum but we have seen the transfer of power is increasingly from the countries to the union my question for you mr conti is how much longer will you continue to be the puppet on salvini and in my own strings. europe faced with an economic crisis without precedent is withdrawing fifa legal procedures when it is progressively lost contact with its people it is so painful for me to see italy's political degeneration i mean progressively in this policy has lost its represents a justification to become an oligarchy system of the real needs of society but. it is your government that is openly spiteful against other member states who are members of our european family it is the italian government that a start the european union from being united against madeira and you know why it's come under pressure from the kremlin under pressure from putin that is the truth it

was quite the debut speech at the european parliament in strasburg by the italian prime minister just said picante outlining the future of the european union as italy sees it and also looking at challenges to the goals that rome wants to achieve his speech caused consternation in the chamber we heard from. the senior european parliamentarians and certainly no shrinking violet going as far as calling prime minister commentator a puppet there was some support for the italian prime minister in the chamber from british m.e.p. mr concert the determination of your government to resist the privileged power access of merkel and macron and indeed to resist the pressures of the european union elites on show here today you deserve applause for that the european union top brass and roma been going back and forward for a while now big arguments last year. over the budget that was put forward by the

italian government it included things like tax breaks for lower and middle income earners a lowering of the retirement age and a multi-billion euro universal income plan all of the good stuff big problem is italy is broke its debt stands at one hundred thirty one percent of g.d.p. trying to put forward a budget provided these things are just against the rules of being part of the european union rome eventually did cave in to brussels but they go to come back and back for more we've heard from the deputy prime minister. he's also the interior minister of italy he described it mr comments as shameful and he said that at the upcoming european elections those that have supported brussels bureaucracy well they may well find themselves ousted by the people at the ballot box but spare a thought though for some of those at the upper echelons of the european union

structure at the moment they've got poland and hungary certainly not playing the game the way they would like it to be played in brussels italy i think we can definitely say are in that group as well and with all of that there's a little thing called break that going on as well political activist and billionaire george soros has also weighed in suggesting the e.u. could collapse like the soviet union soros urged pro e.u. forces to unite before the upcoming parliamentary elections before it's too late the financier compared the current european leadership to the us is always politburo saying it's been issuing irrelevant directives he also gave a stark warning system euro skeptic parties might emerge victorious in may's ballot but advisor to italy's league party believes europeans are eager for change. italy is not anymore dog that someone green get put on the wall in the g seven and it is the just peace deal that believes that don't don't speak don't see anything

because you are like a dog that just says they are the cheer now delhi is speaking italy is saying it only has a brain as a wheel as a saw all eat only is the power any europe but we are an example for the new europe the europe of the people that we look to people and not the europe of the europe or. the europe of the elite now they are very angry about the government of the people they are very scared about it a new election in europe and in this case we are sure the people of europe we change the government of europe that now is. in the hands of few people. leaked documents are claimed to reveal a u.k. based campaign group was asked to come up with a plan to try to get cattle stripped of the world cup in twenty twenty two the firm allegedly proposed to run a p.r. blitz to spread negative news about the gulf kingdom in return for

a hefty fee intended by a prominent u.k. based strategist former british prime minister david cameron successful election campaign. has 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 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 begins 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 wing friendly politicians journalists and academics we have a chance to talk to professor david miller from the spin watch group so initially this is the other techniques of the p.r. world isn't this deception as many puting social media trying to propose the problem with the qatari government as it is supports 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 boasts 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 high. this company for a 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 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. fatness 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 two men are 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. contract for this client to. clear a boy want to be qatari prince who lives in london. it's kind of weird we have reached out to hollywood all hale for comment but we haven't heard from him yet according to the lawyers for cross protect they 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 because part of not 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 it ever surfaces 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 did get in touch with partners on this matter their response so far to shed much light so we have asked them for further clarification we also contacted pfieffer for their reaction they told us they have no comment on the story. and many photographers lashed out at donald trump after he allegedly used her photograph of a protest in a brown bashing tweet the other more yeah he said the photo was used without permission and that was a great shame for. us president published

a tweet in both farsi and english on monday is a very me and smart the fortieth anniversary of the overthrow of the u.s. backed shark the other meurig condemned donald trump saying her photo shows shouldn't be abused by quote men in washington on video to see roughly spoke exclusively to the photo journalist at. a new i have no twitter account and someone sent a picture to me i wanted to react at that time because i'm a patient it took a long time i did not expect this picture to become viral because i was thinking that i had taken better pictures wow sometimes things happen in a way that we do not expect. yelled annoyer he issued a lengthy instagram post in which she slammed iranians. as a man begin to eat my protest against the street can be defined as social to be more precise there are always people who can travel to iran for different occasions

like wedding parties or funerals in our forests years face in order to be in touch with their families so it is clearly painful to me and it also affects my personal life my family is in us and we haven't seen each other for four years because of the travel ban and you feel like my family was in a prison because we could not even visit each other in another country when you do here and the economic and social impact of the sanctions that affected people including those who were not interested in political issues caused me to show a symbolical protest it was not something like a legal complaint or any other thing. serious demanding action from the un security council damascus accuses the us led coalition of killing sixteen civilians and injuring dozens more in a bombing raid on the border with iraq of a do agency ruptly film the aftermath of what appears to have been

a combination of strikes and shelling i guess the antics of close in. syria again is accusing the united states of war crimes in february twenty ninth in the u.s. led coalition committed a new crime against innocent syrian civilians is will playing targeted a civilian camp in the village of who's in the countryside of the governorates of there is or 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 the turks and to shoulder its responsibilities in the maintenance of international peace and security here is what happened here is 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 troops and allies on the ground are pressing it from all sides and

the media's there to watching this isis village burton final push to defeat isis 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 innocents whom the terror group was holding hostage using its human shields liquid you can listen killed a lot of fun and i think they killed a lot of fatherless a lot of children who don't 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 being a mosque packed with people the incident near aleppo springs to mind yes the coalition takes all reports of civilian casualties seriously investigates for months or years writes an apology note when everyone's forgotten and moved on almost always but it was never invited to it invited itself then to be able to see some time probably next week that we will have. one hundred percent of the caliphate. but i want to wait for the official word no want to say too early we have won against isis we've beaten them and we've beat number badly now we've won it's time to come back you could in that vacuum see a resurgence of isis see a resurgent you know they're running out we'll come back if we have to. france

faces another wave of yellow verse protests with demonstrators taking to the streets of paris to show their anger this time over police violence the march was called by several activist groups to show their solidarity with people injured during the protests with a bit engulfing the country since november and also to support one victim in particular a man who had part of his home blown off by a crowd control grenade so far the demonstration has been passing off without incident. we spoke to fearing a linear who was hit in the head with a grenade in december she claims she's on the brink of losing an arm because of it is a story that is told. we will run the seans always the it was comment first and they were very calm yellow vests around us and then some who have been started vandalizing the shop on another side of the street trying to set fire to it policeman started to shoot to help firefighters to get through and it was the last one that i remember because after that i fell and the grenade hit my hand my eyes

still in great pain and will be removed in the next operation talked to said it can be seen it is painful to touch it i can't move it and i can't read. system is around three thousand people have been injured during the yellow bus protests some of them suffering serious injuries fearing a linear he thinks that the current level of violence between protesters and the place is far from normal. if one says he is a policeman i called to work every saturday i understand that that time but fatigue is not an excuse for everything especially for leavin people without ice guns were on the right and i was on the left who explained to me why the policeman fired in my to berkshire it is not normal france is one of the oldest democratic countries in the world it is not normal that this is happening here. in. the u.s. state of north dakota are seeking to restrict access to public records related to police and government operations this comes after a number of law enforcement abuses were exposed in the bullpen as details there are

members of 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.

welp. critical legal information about what actually happened during those protests may soon be unavailable to the public a billion animists li pass by the north dakota state senate would forbid the 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 about the release of such information in a document that was made public via records request however they were far more critical than e-mails 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 protesters documents show them referring to the protesters as jihad us 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. but despite all the bad press and protests the dakota access oil pipeline is moving forward signed that on his fourth day in office code access. 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. a meeting that speaking widely seen as an anti around summit is being held today more so with representatives from more than sixty countries attending its being joint hosted by the united states and poland but not everybody's been keen to take up their invitation some high ranking european officials stayed at home for instance the chief federica mcgreevey isn't that the same goes for the top you politicians france germany and britain they've only sent lowing this fax the iranian foreign minister said the meeting would fail to result in anything meaningful. but that was a conference i believe it's dead on arrival or dead before a robot i don't think it would do anything it's another attempt by the united states to pursue an obsession with iran that is not well founded the moves being

linked to the e.u.'s recent trade mechanism coming into force it allows european companies to continue to trade with iran despite the reimposition of sanctions by washington the mechanism has been criticised by the us although it's not taking any particular measures against it even sr its undertaking helps ensure the survival of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with a round political analyst and commentator shabir has anally feels that the u.s. attempts to prevent others from cooperating with the van are worthless. what it's doing with this was so conference it's trying to build a coalition of people that will of entities that will essentially bend the need to washington and its allies and not do business with iran and further try to isolate iran i don't believe this is going to be successful america has lost its relevance this is a means by which it's trying to get relevant and i don't believe it's going to have any success it will just be a complete waste of time especially given that many key decision makers are not even bothering to attend and what countries are attending are not sending the right

level people they're sending a lot you don't see junior people as opposed to senior people so no one really sees it as anything particularly important it's a means to turn an actual regime change or work on a pathway to create regime change in iran and again america's me trying this for forty years and again it's going to fail. china's dismissed claims by by the wall street journal that it's diplomats met with the venezuelan opposition expanded that report fake news the wall street journal claims that the meeting with representatives of one guy joe was held as china is seeking to protect its investments in the crisis stricken country showing it has been holding talks we venezuela's political opposition to save guard is investments into trouble latin american nation in fact the report is false it's fake news independent political analyst aleksandr brain i think china's not actually that worried about a change of government in venezuela. be surprised if the chinese had meant

to be represented as a wind up. nevertheless. the implications of the articles on the wall street journal is that china is trying to protect its investments in venezuela that's where i find the issue troubling and perhaps cause for suspicion over the article because china doesn't need to worry about a different government or a right wing government coming in venezuela to protect its investment china has investments throughout south america china is using its soft power trade and loans for infrastructure projects in particular to feelin where the west has failed really and what the united states in particular has failed. thanks thing without saying i'll be back with updates for you in half an hour.

a rather bumpy rollout the new green deal is upon its co-sponsored by democratic firebrand alexandria ocasio put it has the plan for a radical restructuring of the american economy and how people will live but the plan does not address is how much it cost how much will we have to go into the red to become green. cross talking the green new deal i'm joined by my guest christine for me why i'm in washington he is a republican strategist and founder of the group also in washington we have christopher barron he is president of right turn strategies and in san diego we cross again so he's an international energy and environmental journalist for forbes and other publications all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate chris let me go to you first here i read the american conservative and came across pat buchanan's reaction to

the new the green new deal and he said well let me just give you the title the the green new deal is a suicide note for democrats would you agree with that assessment well i do think that it's going into that very far hard left precinct that i think republicans want to paint the democrats in order to kind of push them off the radar from the independent votes they need that they were.
