seven days a week trying. to hear a lot international with me live from our moscow studio welcome to the program. it's being claimed american mercenaries helped president consolidate power they allegedly arrived in the caribbean country on a secret mission in a tense rivalries in the haitian government and protracted antigovernment protests in the country seven military contractors were arrested a day after or the soon released without charge.

just wanted mr madoff to give you enough these men or most americans he says if he were here to attack part of the executive branch of the government. you see those reports that due to privacy considerations we're unable to comment further. broke the story for the into sept online news outlet. they were apparently going to transfer eighty million dollars out of the petro caribbean account in haiti in the bank to another account which would be under the
1:03 am
control of president job. the petro caribbean account required authorization if you will from. his then prime minister nuri say ah and the bank president john by day in dubois so this was apparently their mission they entered haiti many of them without stamping their passport without going through immigration without going through customs they had come in with weapons which is a violation not just of u.s. law but haitian law pressure from the u.s. embassy had them released in a completely illegal manner i spent a week in haiti speaking to haitian police officials justice department officials people. with any connection who had any knowledge at all of this operation to can't disclose our source the. requested anonymity
1:04 am
and so we have to protect our shores. however one of the mercenaries a retired navy seal disputes that version of events chris osman says they were hired to escort or american businessman to sign an investment the contract and the rest of the day before the planned meeting and the now deleted instagram post he also claimed the mercenaries were used as quote pawns in a public fight between the haitian president and prime minister a prime minister the pm was dismissed at the start of this week u.s. senator marco rubio said the situation demonstrated sharp political divisions over the calling of elections opposition protesters in tight to remain furious over skyrocketing inflation and alleged government corruption they blame the current president who was sworn in two years ago on a pledge to increase employment and improve living conditions. they added
1:05 am
a certain irritant or a certain combustibility to the situation. they really arrived on the last day of the latest spasm of. demonstrations the prime minister in fact when he was voted out by the deputies was in front of the senate. answering for what happened with these mercenaries so i think yes the whole mercenary story has played a role one from the questions everybody had about it. that our story has come out and basically. torn off the lives or pulled back the curtain on this story i think that this is going to create even more outrage and more consternation.
1:06 am
on the part of the haitian people. after a million people marched across london on saturday calling for a second brags that referendum leaders agreed to give the u.k. a short extension to the withdrawal deadline after parliament twice rejected prime minister theresa raines deal the extra time is done little to ease tensions. prime minister what change she is the roadblock to this house reaching a majority when will she develop a backbone and stand down to do was take this nation to disaster week reach reach prime minister tries the mayor has been left with two extra weeks to see her brags that deal through until may the twenty second if british m.p.'s vote breaks it down for the third time u.k. will happen till just a political satire to how it plans to end the however may has one shell put the vote off until she gets enough support in westminster throwing brags that into
1:07 am
further disarray. if you have a council a greased an extension until the. center for a true. blue. radio. from to the very. thing to to our throat. and there's still empty you learnt it means that that a lot of space. when briggs it was first announced as an
1:08 am
idea as a concept and there was no meat on the ball as to what the concept of what the process actually would mean and we start off in a place with such uncertainty is no surprise us to the situation room now so unless the identity of breaks it is made clear that these disruptions and visa stalling methods will only continue i think the sentiment right now in parliament is that. it's almost an impossibility of this deal going through and if it does go through it will go through under very pressured measures which means peace in parliament won't vote with what they believe is to be the best way for forward but will do it because the time pressures are so tight which always holds parliament to run and saying this is the only deal we have and you better put it through because your certainties are too big and too widespread to even imagine. new zealand has
1:09 am
announced it will ban all types of assault rifles and semiautomatic weapons the pledge comes after fifty people were massacred in a mass shooting last week new legislation. and is set to be in place by april the eleventh the band also extends to weapon attachments as used by the christ church shooter such as high capacity magazines which allow the gun to hold more ammunition gun owners will be offered a buyback scheme as part of an amnesty period possession of a banned weapon after this period could result in a fine and three years' imprisonment prime minister just in the our town is adamant that the cost of the buyback scheme is the price that must be paid to ensure the safety of communities. the suspected attacker published a manifesto a few hours before the shooting describing his motives and plans.
1:10 am
this is one of new zealand's darkest days. the shooters stream the attack by a facebook the video then quickly spread across the internet something facebook was criticised for subtly given how quickly it can crack down on certain types of political content new zealand's prime minister demanded answers from the social media platforms over the live streaming and rapid sharing of the terror attack i would call on our social media platforms of all variety to demonstrate the kind of responsibility that leads to these events and that includes stars who perpetuate the messages in the aftermath there is a lot of work that needs to be done. facebook responded saying the video didn't
1:11 am
trigger its warning systems it has introduced steps to improve the way it converts hate speech we discuss this with our guests. i respectfully submit that when you show violence a good human being it's a form of pornography we have to as a society say no facebook you can do much better for kids for people who would see this not necessarily because it would inspire the next shooting which you very well good because these losers need some form of acclimation out of just human decency without bringing in the government as laws and penalties and we're hearing from officials government officials from the prime minister in new zealand talking about preventing future attacks like this and then going on to censoring when this attack happens how in the world does that prevent this attack we're spending so much time talking about we can have videos like this with as or so or think it might lead to more rather than answering questions that
1:12 am
need to be asked i mean one of the main problems i'm seeing here is that we continue to put band-aids on gunshot wounds and we need to stop that we need to stop putting band-aids on we need to stop saying let's just stop everybody from there that he doesn't you know we can get rid of x. rated movies should it come down immediately yes should this be kept from the public yes take it down i want facebook and others abroad to have is that if you have whatever attitude allow your world or not they have we're talking to you now and you're doing about t.v. do you know that talking about arguing people will hardly blinded from these sightings will fellow lying dead but you're not talking about how will this prevent it nobody's talked about prevented the question is should be banned i'm saying yes to what i want facebook to do is if i put certain stories about certain political issues i am shadow bad show fast and i want them to use that technology in their genius to figure out wait a minute we're having somebody right now people are being killed this is going to
1:13 am
come down from our platform what my concern is when we continue to ban these kinds of things can ban this kind of stuff that's only going to perpetuate shadel ban and that's something i agree should never happen but we're giving. subjected our and all story to social media platforms to tent that that is so when to hurt us later we don't know who they're going to not like it's all subjective no matter what kind of computer algorithm at the end of the day it will be subjective now listen dr burke do me a favor if you see somebody shooting and killing people shut it down or talk about it later don't have a debate do you think that maybe we're giving one person die die die die die die. two to automatically and who's to say whether this could one day be that i don't people being shot and whether this might include war coverage. how many people would support me that while as we're debating this there's some kids where would you ever talk about watching this seeing real time slaughter or the families of
1:14 am
these people or whatever this is violent pornography yes this is horrible that i never want to see this i never want my children to see this i don't want any person to be subject to this kind of violence in this horrible obscene material these publications but this is what i have seen governments cannot stop this these companies cannot stop this people who post something positive about donald trump are being taken off of social media because of social media heads and managers and so we want them to ban other things instead of us and that is my main thing is that they can't they will not. more than forty thousand yet of us protesters marched across france for a nineteenth consecutive weekend despite a ban on marching in certain areas including key parts of the capital for the first time the government deployed a military unit is to prevent a repetition of last weekend's rioting and looting the french cities of nice and scuffles between protesters and police have resorted to take us
1:15 am
a demonstration in paris was the most peaceful throughout the day unlike last weekend when the capital center was fun to lies to auntie's mateen a question of who was in paris for us. several thousand people marched across the city center and just sounded on the steps of those famous zach recurrent cathedral which is located right and the north of the city there shouting slogans many brought flags representing different unions that they came from they also brought political posters but overall this demonstration seems to be rather peaceful paris is beefed up with the security of the french government decided to close several iconic landmarks that used to be the meeting point for many protesters here and also the french government decided to deploy armed soldiers in this streets of the capital and to impose fines for those who decide to violate those new measures.
1:16 am
you order the soldiers a strictly set out extremely precise they have different modes of action to face or threats you could go as far as opening fire if they or someone else's life is a threat we spoke to some people living here and it seems fairly easy ansel that divided over such measure. i think this is an extreme measure obviously this will not solve everything but at least it will help to avoid further destruction if you asked for what he did last saturday burned down restaurants and so on i think this is a necessary measure. it's not the army is mission shows the failure of the government and the failure of our petition is so you. know i think if the army opens fire it will prove that crisis management is not sufficient i think bringing the army as a way of responding to the crisis but it's not just the lucian's the problem yellow that's protests continue for the nineteenth weekend but this saturday it's a different location it is less violent the butt of the movement continues.
1:17 am
students at king's college london claim they were barred from attending classes because of their pro palestine activism they were told it was because of security reasons during a visit by the queen spoke to one of the students involved. i went into uni like you know for my eleven am back shows like ten for the emotional time it was i walked in i got my id card i tapped to on the barrier and it wouldn't it wouldn't work the barrier wouldn't open i talk to about three times and by the time i kind of psych to myself i knew that this was intentional marines a student at king's college london but for one day this week she wasn't she was barred while kings was hosting the queen. around the time of this grand entrance on the all the signs of the building the second year religion and politics student was having this conversation with
1:18 am
security guards come in the armored car the spin room sort of course. for your request. threshold to leave protocol to be told they're not perfect and you see what they did she wasn't the only one experiencing this issue. it was here that marine tried to get into her university for a second time but she says she was told by security guards here that she was one of several students who had been barred from her own university for the duration of the queen's visit now marina and her friends say that they've been politically profiled for their history of peaceful demonstrations over issues such as palestine demos like this wasn't in this group. who were there are you
1:19 am
because you are who the your people think is not ok and does. maureen doesn't have a criminal record she claims she was just singled out by her university for being a politically minded muslim woman i must be paying student i pay nine thousand pounds right and i'm i'm not allowed to go to my lecture because i'm a carrier. security got to the queen. outrageous since the incident the students have staged more protests highlighting what happened to them and demanding on answers. king's college london is one of the u.k.'s oldest universities that occupies several buildings in central london and the queen and the duchess of cambridge were here opening this new building bush house now artie perch the students allegations to the university and the response we got was simply that there was an event here
1:20 am
that required the highest level of security we had an event on tuesday which demanded the highest level of security and we had to minimize movement through buildings for security reasons at times some of our buildings were not successful the metropolitan police told r.t. that they don't comment on security issues but marine says that talking about political issues shouldn't make her a security. german politicians have called for the expulsion of u.s. ambassador to germany richard grenell it came after he openly criticized plans to reduce its defense spending nato members clearly pledged to move towards not away from two percent by twenty twenty four that the german government would even be considering reducing its already on acceptable commitments to military readiness is
1:21 am
a worrisome signal to germany's twenty eight nato allies mr grinnell is a total failure of a diplomat all of this behavior is rather borish with his repeated clumsy provocations mr gore now is harming transatlantic relations. since mr grinnell to cup his post. he hasn't several occasions quite conspicuously interfered in the internal affairs of the federal republic of germany his behavior in the host country is anything but diplomatic and brother reminiscent of the governor of an empire this comes despite germany military spending increasing five billion dollars . it's not the first time. policy from iran to the use of equipment from a chinese tech giant while way. also a vocal critic of. accusing them of freeloading off u.s. military might.
1:22 am
german companies doing business in a run down operations immediately. never tell the host country what to do. where not a banana republic. one side trying to turn. from a u.s. diplomat. to question with washington. mr grinnell does have president trump personal support now there was talk that mr grinnell might be moved to the united nations where nikki haley left but that
1:23 am
didn't happen so i think it would be a very embarrassing for the administration to withdraw him the problem is is that we now have an american ambassador who is fro on polish about it especially with demands not spending more money on nato and you can't have five g. from what way and you must not be buying. russian gas and complete the north stream to pipeline that it's starting to get on their nerves and maybe beginning to dawn on some people in germany that maybe this american relationship is not all it's cracked up to be now some people want to say this is all a question of style but i think it's becoming clear that it's really more a question of substance. but i kept coming up in israel next month candidates have been doing their best to get the public's attention but it appears some may have gone too far getting southbound in not to stand that.
1:24 am
you. should. see democracy get him for the things that she shows. what is the real thing that's happening here. oh my god. it's like. it's horrible too much too much. it's violent and racist i don't think it's just funny. to me it's nice to
1:25 am
finally move from the. conversation about. him to the think the world is not just in with. a recent server. but think it's just. for a future. day has apparently been some fact checking since he has exposed. democrats that was just over a decade left to save the. report. even back when t.v.s. looks like that kid's cartoons would portray those saving us from pollution as superheroes i am captain planet. commentator. today you just can't be a successful democrat and presidential hopeful without being
1:26 am
a bit of captain planet democrats be like how do i sound cool and make republicans look bad at the same time. thank god there is climate change the scientists are absolutely unanimous on this that we have no more than twelve years to take incredibly bold action on this crisis what the intergovernmental panel on climate change say is that we have twelve years twelve years and we're like the world is going to end in twelve years if we don't address climate change why this kerry deadline of twelve years a few months ago u.n. environmental experts put together yet another alarming report showing the earth is continuing to heat up it's bad for the planet and everyone who lives on it some interpret it the following way experts say that we have until twenty thirty to avoid catastrophe the world has little more than a decade time is running out to prevent global warming and he says the time's up
1:27 am
andrea that the world has to do something we're reaching the cliff edge a little faster quite a bit faster and so it snowballed into a big trendy protest children have the impression their generation could be doomed . that we have twelve years to turn this around but suddenly there's that hoops moment the associated press checks what those who want to run for the white house after say for facts what was it that mr o'rourke said again the scientists are absolutely unanimous on this that we have no more than twelve years so a.p. actually got in touch with the scientists the panel did not say we have twelve years left to save the world this has been a persistent source of confusion the report never said we only have twelve years left well have a look at what they wrote on some liberal websites after the a.p.
1:28 am
piece came out that's right on climate and the a.p. fact check is wrong it is the a.p. this is incorrect about climate change not. oh sure how can a democrat candidate get something wrong especially when his party essentially chose to rely on the so-called green new deal ahead of the election it's a set of proposals to address climate change you just can't lead down your next generation of voters does a matter of faith and belief by guys like bedo and others who will walk out and say the world is going to end in twelve years and not receive any pushback and there's no laughter there's no one going now you've got to be kidding me there's no one standing up to them and say you've clearly lost your mind which you have are a bunch of crow religious to not even going yes it's terrible it must do something elections and in this country anyway or are not about to see it all they're about turning out your base and keeping the other guy's votes home and if you want to
1:29 am
turn out your base and you're a leftist candidate preaching about climate change and how the other side is determined to see us all die horribly that's going to do get the job done for. racial tensions a flat in the far east and russian city if you can soft a central asian migrant was accused of kidnapping and raping a local woman many migrants are now on edge after the shops and market stalls where they work attack it. but for. what. this is the reality for central asian immigrants in the far eastern russian city of you could see they've coexisted with locals for years peacefully but they say they no longer feel welcome so good i might not get that we should give you but you must. it's more than you could you
1:30 am
could do worse will salute and while they don't want to leave their lives and little businesses they have behind they're scared to stay because they came here and threatened us with a gun they said shut everything down and go home and that's it you won't live here any more xenophobic sentiment surged in the sabeer in city after a local woman was abducted and raped the media outed a migrant from kyrgyzstan as the key suspect and the city snapped sporadic protests violent attacks and an attempt at storming a mosque many now want the whole day asper to make amends for the crime of a few individuals the local authorities while saying the crime has no nationality also said exactly what the morgue wanted to hear the guest insulting the host in his house is no longer a guest but an enemy. we are in our homeland in our city.
