breaking news the initial probe into sunday's deadly bomb attacks in sri lanka claims the atrocity was in retaliation for last month's mosque shootings in new zealand also and our investigation shows the links between the us government facebook because the social media giant introduces its new general counsel who is a legal advisor at the west state department plus. ready to call to kill. the roots to shoot and kill. a famous bodyguard from germany. has become an epicenter of a criminal ethnic clans and why it is so difficult to deal with the issue.

watching r.t. international start this hour with breaking news to you because it's being playing the easter sunday bombings in sri lanka which killed three hundred ten people were in retaliation for the mosque shootings in new zealand last month that's according to an initial probe into the weekend's atrocity so let's get more details now from our quarter he joins us in the studio before we get on to that claim of retaliation just quickly still no indication of who could be responsible for this as yet right now are confirmations but deputy defense minister has boiled suspicions down to two islamised groups domestic islamist groups in the country and after an initial investigation officials are saying that it's possible that they were working within the confines of a larger international network now the sri lankan authorities were warned of a bomb threat actually to hold. weeks before this before the easter sunday attacks

occurred and for that the cabinet spokesperson mr long has already issued an apology. to the intelligence agencies on the fourth of april international intelligence agency informed us that such an incident could take place there detailed reports named christian churches and tourist destination as the main targets as the government we are responsible for all of the story and we apologize to everybody. that ok well since then the defense ministries been speaking to you hasn't it and it said there is a link now where they are linking these attacks in sri lanka but the ones that took place just a month ago in new zealand what exactly is being said well exactly like you said before they're investigating the possibility that this attack was a retaliation for the christ church shootings in new zealand and to bring our viewers up to speed on march fifteenth it was a mosque and islamic center in christchurch new zealand that was shot up by someone

that the media and some have called a white supremacist so let's take a look at some of the details of what happened. this is one of new zealand's darkest days. we've also seen haven't we linking these attacks similarities and how social media has been used in the wake of this attack drawings that have been made yeah absolutely well in the case of christ church the shooter put up a startling manifesto for the world to read before the. actual shooting all over

the internet and then he live streamed the first part of his terrorist shooting of the mosque and it took authorities actually quite a while in new zealand to take it down a lot of people saw it and people had already downloaded it before they were able to take it down from websites now in the case of sri lanka authorities have already begun blocking major social media platforms you see here facebook. instagram you tube and a couple others have already been blocked as the government has declared a state of emergency so we're definitely seeing here a dilemma between the kind of freedom that the internet brings people and where is that line between where the government can go to combat terrorism and where is that line that they could possibly cross into we're finding you know intrusion into people's lives. these issues to be debated for a long time to come thank you thanks for the update there was a stone cold today but let's get more reaction to it because joining us on the big

screen here is that mohammed chief executive of the ramadan foundation in the u.k. good to see you again mohammed just quickly your reaction to the claim made by the sri lankan defense ministry that this is attack in sri lanka was actually in retaliation to the attacks we saw almost six in new zealand a month ago yeah. ok mohammed just one more time i'm not sure if you can hear me just give us your reaction to the claims that these these attacks in sri lanka were in retaliation for the attacks we saw in new zealand a month ago. well i reject that i think it's inappropriate at this moment in time for there to be speculation about the circumstances of the reasons behind what we've seen the first thing is there's an evil ideology of violence of justification of violence behind these terrorists why they're it's

a mosque why there is churches synagogues or temple an attack against one faith is an attack against all and i just said to the syrian civil lankan government there have been severely on your part your intelligence agencies and your thirty's to stop this terrorist attack before it to happen and rather the point of thing going to cause more division it's important to look at your own government in your or in agencies and find out why the intelligence that was shared by international community was and acted upon because had been acted upon but how did division within the syria like and government between the president and the prime minister not have happened then we could have actually seen life's been said and so i just don't think it's a very good from the suit i can government do you think it's. does that heighten the situation does it make the situation worse the thing by saying this i mean i don't know the ranking government sources for coming out and saying this but

presumably they're pretty good but the new point of view does it increase tensions in a country. i think increased tensions around the world and drew there is a real problem with political violence why that comes from within the muslim community or why that it comes from the far right they've got something in common they both have political aims and they want to use violence against innocent people so there are there is a real danger that we fall into the trap of what the terrorists set out to do which is to divide these the christian community was deliberately targeted on this occasion as the muslim community was in christchurch. the jewish community was in a synagogue in america so that the threat from against people and people of faith are places of worship is real but i go back to this point i'm doing this survey lankan government i culpable because when the international community provided

credible intelligence and they didn't make the intelligence provided to them they didn't do anything president did an ugly head of the intelligence agencies did not share that with the government in the year to minister and so that's an utter failure on the part of syria like and i think this is an attempt to deflect attention away from its own feelings. what you think the situation will be light blue be like now ensure lancair mean i've we've talked to analysts. so in the generally speaking pretty people are feeling pretty calm and hope that it won't revert back to the instability they saw a decade or so ago what was your point of view. yes i really pray and hope that it doesn't go back to what happened over ten years ago you know a civil war in which you were life was no longer sacred and i think it's great that . ten years of relative peace you know what it shows us that there is no place when

they said they'd be safe from terrorism i don't all of us whatever up by whatever our faith norm have called a study united against that i'd be absolutely determined in the last fifteen years as a grassroots campaign to stand up against terrorism and i'll tell you that i was with many people in the muslim christian and jewish communities i'm actually we've got so much more in common let's not let's not how terrorist let's not allow violence retaliation against us we need to keep you know to be embedded within syria like in society in the end you know i think you've seen a reaction in syria like a community coming together and i think that's to the inspiring and what message would you like to see governments deliver then around the world to match this latest terror attack. one we have this in our mindset just because isis and dutch should be defeated in terms of territory in syria that somehow the threat from terrorism has disappeared or has gone down it hasn't been we've still

got a threat from our by the. book and many of the international terrorist organizations who want to cause havoc around the world there are far right extremism which is our only huge drives but just. in australia or new zealand air in the u.k. and across europe and i think governments have a responsibility to use language that brings people together and you know if no way takes the threat of terrorism seriously because as i said this can go the men had credible intelligence they readily accept that they had intelligence but didn't do anything good and i think that's a really dangerous point the people look to the government to provide safety and security and in the field ok mohammed look we'll leave it there that was a mohammed if he can't chief executive the ramadan foundation in the u.k. thank you. now questions are being raised over the growing links

between facebook and the u.s. government that is the social media giant announced it's hired the state department's legal advisor as its general counsel and vice president of communications according to the company's statement jennifer newstead will oversee facebook's global legal functions where she has already enjoyed a long career in the u.s. administration serving in the state and justice departments and was also part of the team which drafted the controversial patriot act which expanded government surveillance powers after the nine eleven attacks the new appointment comes amid unprecedented pressure to on facebook to tackle the spread of misinformation and fake news on its platform r.t.g. goes down often takes a closer look at the firm's fact checking and also fears over its trust worthy nurse. for the past two years facebook has been trying to convince the public it is taking a stand against free news the program has been battered by controversies from criticism over how it's implemented to claims the impact it makes is little to none so how

does facebook fracture knuth's books well it doesn't instead of defectively has outsourced this function to a seemingly obscure journalism school. the pointer institute is a nonprofit based in florida it's nondescript anonymous in almost every way except for the fact that any fact checking service willing to partner with facebook has to get pointers approval and this is the type of testimonies they applauded on their you tube channel journalists do this important pointer does for journalists is invaluable it's just so horrid to separate. who i am as a reporter for. four point one for me. the. world spends so much time. training researching and informing journalists that

look at journalism as a true wow i wonder how many more journalism students out there talking about their school like it's a sect they joined but so far pointer has licensed around sixty partners from all over the world good to go to fact check for facebook and many of them have a bit more in common than appetite for truth the thing they share is who they get their money from fact checkers from the u.s. the u.k. africa latin america the philippines and the pointer itself have been funded by the open society foundation and a media network either one of them or both together they've donated millions to fact checkers so what are they and why are they so eager to invest.

now the open society foundation was founded and is run by none other than george soros who invested more than thirty two billion dollars into the foundation and this open society foundation is known to do exactly that open societies or meddle in the affairs of countries all over the world have been proven to be a political weapon of ssris as for the media network it belongs to another billionaire pierre media the creator of e-bay and just like soros is brainchild the network has been deeply involved in geo politics providing a steady flow of money for america's soft power ventures from funding opposition in other countries to creating puppet media outlets and there are plenty. other donors bestowing their wealth upon point and co not excluding the us state department i

expect to be there will be a very close interplay between the facebook checkers and the state department and that they will be really very respectful of the state department's point of view after all they're one of their paymasters so i think they will go out of their way not to contradict anything the state department says and to basically try to then discredit anybody who might be criticizing them so fortunately this is the antithesis of what most people think of when they think of freedom of media or freedom freedom of information now point and it's platoon or fact checkers say that one of their binding values is impartiality but sometimes that veil is quite easy to see through and i mean let me bring up one chart for you it was showcased at a separating fact from fake news panel by point and i mean by different nisshin here the mainstream media and mainstream news presented here as a victim and it's presented as an inherently one hundred percent truthful entity

just cannot be fake news here and that's despite the fact that mainstream outlets have repeatedly embarrassed themselves with faulty reporting from c.n.n. to buzz feed ironically the outlet behind this graph but after all these story called suggests neither the u.s. government nor the saurus like bunch spend their billions out of fuel philanthropy and what this is clearly aimed at is to restrict the availability of alternative sources of information what they do is defend the establishment narrative and try to discredit alternative the dissident point of views which then they will declare to be non factual or fake news according to their own fact checkers which are very very biased. meanwhile reports claim that government and forstmann patience he's have been using facebook to their advantage leading digital rights group called the electronic frontier foundation is urging facebook to crack down on the u.s.

immigration and customs enforcement which has been creating false the camps facebook's practice of taking down these individual accounts when we learn about them from the press or from our is insufficient to discern what would believe is a much larger ours brick beneath the surface we often only discovered the existence of law enforcement fake profiles months if not years after an investigation has concluded it comes after the law enforcement body reportedly used facebook in a sting operation to catch illegal migrants agents created a fictional college called the university of farmington which promoted the enrollment of foreign students after checking the background of those that applied they ended up arresting around one hundred thirty people when u.s. agencies are heeding use of social media can be essential for investigations although facebook disagrees. law enforcement or florida keys like everyone else are

required to use their real names on facebook and we make this policy clear on our public facing law enforcement guidelines page operates in fake accounts is not allowed and we swiftly act on any violating accounts but we discuss the issue with a social activist who does say that human rights have been violated. the united states' alliance horsman does not only by only facebook laws it in it by elites our own federal state local municipal law the federal government the local government even vigilante groups and the in the border states continuous violent sovern human rights for undocumented people in people seeking asylum here in this country i think it's become a period the united states of america wants to be owner controller of the internet but when you have an organization such great magnitude as facebook that seems to be

complying secretly with u.s. spy agencies and law enforcement agencies you're going to get a bad out there are no good big in that there's only. sort of coming out even us has warned it will last sanction any country buying oil from iran after scrapping its previous waivers will have a look at the ramifications of that plus of the stories take just awful. get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be present and. want to. be close with what. three of them or can't be. interested in the water.

housing crisis was a result of securitizing mortgages that were resold the dozens of times like goldman sachs was betting. they were engaged in massive fraud against. timothy geithner it is friends and now they go of that controlled demolition of the housing market all the housing is concentrated in a few as like blackstone as a gift from their friends of the central banks and the result is medieval. welcome back as become to some of the biggest criminal clans in the world according

to one of the city's most famous bodyguards michael cook is a world kick boxing champion while he claims to favor multiculturalism he's worried that current migration policies have allowed gangs to thrive in the capital the channel in germany spent a day with him in. to have a nice day ready to cut and kill if they have a gun ready to shoot and kill. it there is no more everyone has to fight. as we go in there are. like. remote truck i would check. these are big families. well known in the criminal world but you call them all of them are criminals and many have nothing to do with it. oh.

it will be. because i was reading because i was present a lot of. i've been in this is in the since nine hundred eighty two there's one though almost every family even if i don't know someone they've heard about me they know i'm a fan of multiculturalism i always be all very positively about it wasn't because many found themselves in the criminal world in tears the result was. we have to give these guys some credit the german government hadn't done enough to integrate and then obvious going to many of them couldn't joblessness for years and that's why they resorted to criminality.

these clans are closely tied to give us their like the whole you want to see anything like that in germany. they can bring together forty to fifty people in just half an hour before the. business in one thousand nine hundred ninety four that's when the klan started expanding and their influence aside local german groups and taking. control of the hospital and farmers now totally controlling or including drugs prostitution and she has a lot of money. because if one only has an investigative group that's good for that deals primarily with

organized crime among families of arab origin for individual members of these families as well as a group conducting intelligence activities including coming into contact with potentially dangerous criminal elements. government policy completely failed your thirty's totally insta me but it all the situation it's all they're trying to minimize the damage but it's not easy to do. it on the opportunity to be independent i don't depend on any clan my clan. but it's. not unusual prices have soared to a six month high comes after the u.s. announced it will scrap all exemptions on iran or imports and sanction those who fail to abide by the new rules slamming the sanctions illegal iran threatened sea

drop the strait of hormuz the world's oil route which transports a fifth of all international oil and added that he threatened it would not hesitate to protect and defend the strait this comes after secretary of state might be confirmed washington would not extend the wave is it had previously granted to eight countries. today i'm announcing that we will no longer grant any exemptions we're going to zero going to zero across the board any nation or entity interacting with iran should use its diligence and err on the side of caution the risks are simply not going to be worth the benefits if you don't abide by the stop the sanctions both the kingdom of saudi arabia and the united arab emirates have assured us they will ensure an appropriate supply for the markets and of course the united states is now a significant producer as well. i can confirm that each of those suppliers are working directly with iran's former customers to make the transition away from

really in crude less disruptive until now eight countries had been allowed to continue to borrow all from iran without the threat of sanctions from washington it was previously claimed these waivers would be a way of avoiding volatility in the oil markets compare now says that ending these waves is designed to deny the republic its principal source of revenue and reaction turkey has come out strongly against the us decision it says the move will only jeopardize regional stability and bring harm to local raney and china has also criticised the unilateral sanctions maintaining that its diggings with iran had always been open and transparent meanwhile japan says it's not overly concerned and doesn't believe it will impact its economy the iranian foreign affairs expert. believes that washington is forcing taran to become more aggressive. the u.s. is seriously escalating this unilateral economic warfare against iran

jeopardizing economic well being of iran and the rain and people putting iran against the wall and therefore one should naturally expect a stiffer reaction from iran which may come in the form of implementing their threats industry that of who are more so the us is edging closer to war with iran using all kinds of excuses. now let's just go back to our breaking news this hour because frank is ministry of defense says the easter sunday bombings in the country were in retaliation for last month's mosque shootings in the official however didn't explain where the information come from weekends atrocity claimed the lives of three hundred twenty one people including thirty eight foreign nationals and left up to five hundred more injured the government has blamed the local isn't this

creep for orchestrating the attacks. that's how the news is looking so i thought stay here nasima back again with another update in just a huff. when the old maid just manufacture consent to step into the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flame and larry go

around live as only the one percent so. we can all middle of the room signals. the real news is really. facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also a very dark side. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very first character that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results diced on what they think you should be see if

they have this kind of power then democracy is. an illusion the free and fair election doesn't exist the more growth we give the sooner we are all. ratings and salutation spring is here in the united states talk watchers with every spring comes growth and reflection see reflection is important my friends both personally and for a nation which is why we here in the united states of america need more reflection like the kind put forth by former us president jimmy carter we need more of this reflection if we can ever hope to see more growth again you see jimmy carter recently dropped a bombshell while discussing the differences between the unite.
