confirms talks between putin and kim jong un will take place in russia's far east on thursday the details of their first ever meeting have been top secret. islamic state claims responsibility for sunday's bomb attacks in sri lanka which claimed more than three hundred lives. and links between the us government and facebook the social media giant introduces its new general counsel a legal advisor to the u.s. state department. has a use and if they haven't. killed if they have that they're ready to shoot and kill

the high profile german bodyguard reveals why it's so difficult to deal with the clans making a hotbed of ethnic pride. company the same think this is r.t. international. disobey sion is growing over the upcoming talks between putin and kim jong il and the kremlin has confirmed that they will take place in the city of light of our stock in russia's far east this. moscow and killing yang have been keeping the details of the first ever meeting between the russian a north korean lead to secret. is in flood of a stock following preparations. on any other day you would see

a beautiful bridge behind my shoulder but now it's all completely covered in fog in fact the whole city of vladivostok is covered in fog which is i guess a perfect display a perfect reflection of all the secrecy surrounding the summit of vladimir putin and cam john until pretty much the very last day neither the location nor the date were confirmed every little detail was a top secret all that we heard from the north korean side was that the talks are due soon it's also a little more than you do so the chairman of the korean people sponte and supreme leader of our nation. will be visiting russia at the invitation of freshman president vladimir during the visit there will be a summit between can jump and the russian president and here i am in the city of light of all stock where the people are completely in the dark about what's going

on they are not completely sure whether they'll be able to get to work and the days that are coming something else that's being talked about a lot is that kim john is heading to vladivostok on the training that was always used by his father and you know what before that train enters into russian territory even wheels will have to be changed because of the different size of the railways and the two countries but it is also believed that kim john sr wasn't on that train she is believed to be here already and vladivostok making preparations. in advance for her brother and let me remind you that she's a kind of a peacemaker someone who holds great influence over kim now as it's believed she's often being cold vivanco of north korea she was present at the first historic unification meeting between pyongyang in seoul last february during the winter

olympics in south korea some people in this city have even said that they've already seen the limo of kim jong il and another rumor is that they literally had to dig under the gate of the local railway station to make sure that this vehicle can squeeze through so this is going to be chairman kim's first visit to russia his father though kim jong il visited russia three times last time it happened in two thousand and eleven obviously i can't help mentioning the political climate surrounding this meeting first of all i have to tell you that lately pyongyang expressed dissatisfaction with u.s. diplomats and the even demanded that u.s. secretary of state mike pumpin step down as the top american negotiator when it comes to contacts with north korea they want someone more suitable even in the case of possible resumption of dialogue with the u.s.

i wish our dialogue counterpart would not be but some of the person who is more careful in communicating with us mr pompeo though insists that he's still in charge we also have to remember that the last long awaited meeting between kim john thune and donald trump in hug noid ended without any agreement being signed ever since then washington got back to sending out tough signals to north korea and it appears that chairman kim wasn't really happy with that and this could be the reason why he's now arriving here and vladivostok and the far east of russia. writer and broadcaster married to jet ski told us the reasons behind kim's move. i think there are probably two reasons why he's going to russia one of them certainly is to send a very strong signal to the united states that north korea has as it were alternatives

it has other possibilities better relations with the united states aren't its only prospect for the future so i think there's that on the one hand on the other i think it's quite interesting. the american north korean detente those two summits happened without really any reference or. situation of russian and obviously all you have to do is look at a map to realize that. north korea affects russia's security quite as much as it does america's security and maybe a bit more so i think it's entirely natural that. putin would want to meet kim and five so first that russia would want to be involved if there's going to be any strategic change in that part of asia. so linkers

prime minister's warning that more attacks are still a possibility after the easter sunday bombings that took a three hundred twenty one lives by calling jacqueline virga discuss the issue with artie's donald quarter. isis is declaration came not very long after sri lanka's deputy defense minister said the bombings may have been in retaliation to the christ church shootings last month and after an initial investigation officials said that these two to islamic terrorist groups that may or may not be connected to isis could have been working within a larger international terrorist network now the series of bombings that took place on easter sunday had a death toll now at three hundred twenty one confirmed deaths and another five hundred injured according to unicef even forty five children were among the. dms now sri lankan authorities were actually warned a full two weeks before this series of bombings took place and the cabinet spokesperson has already taken to apologize for not picking up on the tip and that

is indeed against the agencies they have been on the fourth of april international intelligence agencies informed us that such an incident could take place there detailed reports named christian churches and tourist destinations as the main targets as the government we are responsible for all of the story and we apologize to everybody let's go back to the claim that this attack was in retaliation for the new zealand mass shootings what exactly was said there well as of right now it's the sri lankan authorities that are making that claim but we just actually heard a statement from the new zealand prime minister who said that the this claim hasn't actually been backed by solid and from intelligence information yet and just to remind our viewers about what happens in new zealand on march fifteenth a mosque and islamic center were shot up in christ church new zealand now fifty people were killed another fifty people were injured and the twenty eight year old shooter was a self described white supremacist his crimes in the mass shootings he committed are considered to be some of the deadliest the new zealand's history.

this is one of new zealand's kissed days. i i i. the role of social media has been highlighted over both the attacks on sunday and in new zealand tell us more about that it's actually played a big part in both the case of christ church the shooter put up a startling manifesto for the world to see across the. internet and then he lived he live stream the first part of this terrorist attack and actually took authorities quite a while to take it down off the internet and in the case of sri lanka thirty seven

actually already blocked major social media facebook whatsapp instagram and youtube are among them with others included and this is part of the government's state of emergency declaration basically so it's really situations like this where the dilemma between freedom of freedom on the internet and the possibility of terrorists using it as a weapon for evil comes to the forefront. life is the head of the ariel research center for defense and communication any kind he joins me on the line now. the authorities in sri lanka are warning that they think there's a serious chance there could be more attacks how great would you assess the chance of that happening. oh my assessment is just good as anyone's. i can only base my assessments on the forty years of monitoring the palestinian terrorism and i can say this is all. guerrilla and

terrorist organizations follow the same basic doctrine doctrinal principles. one of them is to use the psychological impact. as much as possible so it's not enough that the whole country. is devastated so they need to prolong the two. to make the explosion also in the psychological sphere as well which is what it meant to be in the first place. it could be could be happening in could not but i can definitely see the need to make people more anxious and. that would force the. government to stretch its capabilities defense capabilities to the limits. policeman will work and list lee and list hours and

everyone will make shaves until they are of the fatigue will have to make a mistake and then a mistake and deteriorate this is the this is the situation that the terrorists are hoping for. there is so do you believe. isis claims that are behind these attacks that have been reports that around allies the way the attacks are carried out suggesting that that's not really the the kind of the modus operandi they don't really fit the pattern of how islamic state operates what's your opinion. let's start with first with the government argument i think this is basically scapegoating as it's called in the lynn girl of crisis management that that's not our fault someone else's fault that it came as

a retaliation for the christchurch bombing this of course the nonsense on an operation on that scale needs a much more. than six weeks to plan and to execute the enormous carnage that they have. and they have exerted is. it takes much more much longer to plan. and and to execute. decoded nation the intelligence that they need to gather. and pulling together the devices and all that it's a much more sophisticated and much more. it's complicated operation to do it on the other hand it could. isis bot. it's very easy to take their identity of someone else's and and to hide behind it it could be very well that isis is behind it and they have been planning it for all for

a long time and they need to link it all terrorist organizations all terror groups want this linkage we're doing this because you've done this to us before etc otherwise they wouldn't have the legitimacy and they this is what the till her organization is. most. for long for demand did this legitimacy and because dissolved illegitimacy there will be treated as criminals and the government could lead they they have the the government will have the legitimacy to girl tool crack down on them very harshly which could be very. in terminal for the for the organization so they know it's. i. normally ice's is gloating about its successes and on this occasion they hide the identities of. the perpetrators.

i on the gets having said that what other organization could have come up with such a complicated operation. it could be isis it could be of some sort most people don't know the difference and most people don't know the distinctions even the defensiveness ations the global defensiveness ations don't know always the difference between the. islamic islamic groups that. are operating in terrorism against against the country run i'm afraid we go to hell just for interjecting went. we are going to wrap things up the. road great to have you on ranch life or as my guest head of the real research center for defense communication thank you so much. because health

minister earlier said the little known sri lankan hard line group was responsible national. splinter from another religious group he was arrested for inciting hatred against buddhists in two thousand and sixteen. members of the group initially accused of the bombings national been detained in russia's far east. has details earlier on tuesday russia's federal security service announced that several people involved in terrorist activity have been detained in russia during separate counterterrorist operations first in russia's far eastern region on the mortar where the federal agents dismantled a former member cell of a bigger islamist group known as though he'd jihad the poison jihadist group that still unclear forces believe is responsible for the deadly easter and attacks. in the country that killed hundreds the f.s.b. also claimed that the group was apparently funded through international terrorist

structures and its members were planning a trip to syria where they wanted to fight on the side of jihadists in another operation southern caucasus region five other members of the so-called islamic state were detained that the eff is. claims were planning a drone attack on federal security services and police offices in the region in a video showing their detention and one of the guys admitting these plans. facebook's ties to the u.s. government to question the top state department official will have more in the story after the break. the housing crisis was the result of securitizing mortgages that were resold to dozens of times and the like goldman sachs was. clients and they were engaged in

massive fraud again. timothy geithner it is friends and now they go of that controlled demolition of the housing market is that 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 doesn't. seem wrong. just don't hold. anything. yet to shape out these days becomes active. and engaged equals betrayal. many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back berlin has become home to some of the biggest criminal clans in the world that's according to one of the city's most famous bodyguards. michael korda is a world kick boxing champion and while he claims to favor multiculturalism he's worried current migration policies have allowed gangs to thrive in the capital our sister channel in germany spent a day with him in berlin. if they have a knife they are ready to cut and kill if they have a girl there ready to shoot and kill. their resume or everyone has to abide by. the refer milly's in berlin like. show crew these are big families well known in the criminal world but you can't see all of them

a criminal many have nothing to do with it. oh. it will be. because of this video 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 being very positively about it wasn't because many found themselves in the criminal world here as a result. 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 get a job license for years and that's why they resorted to criminality.

these clans are closely tied together they're like a hole you won't see anything like that in german families they can bring together forty to fifty people in just half an hour before the. visit i found a business in one thousand nine hundred ninety four that's when the klan started expanding in there including pushing aside local german groups and taking. under control the host godfathers now totally controlling us or including drugs prostitution and she has a lot of money. police

has an investigative group that deals primarily with organized crime among families of arab origin as well as a group conducting intelligence activities including coming into contact with potentially dangerous criminal elements not mom government policy completely filled your thirty's totally under the situation it's all they're trying to minimize the damage but it's not an easy thing to do. i cooperate with the police given the opportunity to be independent and i don't depend on any clan like my clan. it's my. questions are being raised over the growing links between facebook and the u.s. government that says the social media giant announced it's hired the u.s. state department's legal advisor as its general counsel and vice president of

communications the company says that jennifer newstead will oversee facebook's global legal functions instead has a long career in u.s. government service with both the state and justice departments she was part of the team which drafted the controversial patriot act expanding government surveillance powers following the nine eleven attacks. the new appointment comes amid unprecedented pressure on facebook to tackle the spread of misinformation and fake news on its platform id's it has done it takes a closer look now at the firm's fact checking and fears over its trustworthiness. for the past two years facebook has been trying to convince the public it is taking a stand against fake 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 fact check new spots 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 to this important point or does for journalists is invaluable it's just so hard to separate. who i am as a reporter from. your point it was done 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 or source as for the 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 of 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 to basically try to 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 are presented here as a victim and it is 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 the story record suggests neither the u.s. government nor the sorest like bunch spend their billions out of pure 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 and 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 leading digital rights group the electronic frontier foundation is calling on facebook to crack down on mass use of fake accounts by law enforcement agencies facebook's practice of taking down these individual accounts when they learn about them from the press or from. insufficient to discern what

would believe is a much larger iceberg beneath the surface we often only discover the existence of law enforcement fake profiles months if not years after the first a geisha has concluded it comes after u.s. immigration and customs enforcement agents reportedly used facebook in a sting operation to capture illegal migrants officials created a fictional college called the university of farmington that promoted the enrollment of foreign students to checking the background of those that applied they ended up arresting around one hundred thirty people. us given a decision says that they use a social media is essential for successful investigations but facebook disagrees law enforcement or thirty's 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 and twist tie barry told us no fake accounts should be above the

law. the united states lion pleasant does not only by only facebook lies it in it by elites our own federal state local municipal laws the federal government the local government even vigilante groups on the on the in the border states continuously violent sovern human rights for undocumented people and people seeking asylum here in this country i think it's become apparent the united states of america wants to be the 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 agency two you are going to get a bad out there are no good big in that there's only thing. by saying it out say it to me for advice and hoffa.
