i i. i i. between think in june will take place in russia's far east on thursday. the top secret. islamic state claims responsibility for sunday's bomb attacks in sri lanka which took more than three hundred right. off the investigates the links between the us government and facebook as the social media giant introduces its general counsel the legal adviser of the us state department. if they have a they're ready to shoot you and

a high profile german bodyguard reveals why it's so difficult to deal with the plans making berg. joining us this is r.t. international. and dissipate growing over the upcoming talks between putin and kim jong un the kremlin has confirmed that they'll take place in the city of blood of a stock in russia's far east. have been keeping the details of the first of a meeting between the russian and north korean leaders secret. 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. the chairman of the korean people sponte and supreme leader of our nation who will be visiting russia at the invitation of freshman president vladimir putin during the visit there will be a summit between conjunction 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 walk 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 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 now. 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 one someone more suitable even in the case of possible resumption of dialogue with the us i wish our dialogue counterpart would not be but some of the person who is more careful in communicating with us mr

patel 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 hud noyo 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. russian broadcaster married to jeff ski told us what she considers 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. surely because prime minister is warning more attacks are still a possibility to the east this on the bombings that took three hundred twenty one

lives my colleague jackie discuss the issue with r.t. is donald quarter. isis's 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 victims now sri lankan authorities were actually warned of. 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 that led to the intelligence agencies they have been on the fourth of april international intelligence agencies informed us

that such an incident could take place they detail group who is named christian churches in 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 a new zealand's history. this

is one of the new zealand's kist days. 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 in 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 for. part of his terrorist attack and it actually took authorities quite a while to take it down off the internet and in the case of sri lanka authorities have actually already blocked major social media platforms 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 we spoke to the former head of the u.k. counterterrorism security office chris phillips who thinks that these attacks were prepared well in advance to tank is clearly a long time in the planning and possibly even a month is probably not quite long enough to do that but of course what it will have done perhaps is change the attack locations so the attack was going to take place almost certainly where it took place that may have been influenced by the attack in new zealand what we do know is that intelligence agencies were aware that this was likely to happen someone somewhere you know somewhere across the world as provided intelligence which within the sri lankan or thirty's it seems to have gotten lost so he doesn't appear to have been acted on well enough and we had this

this terrible attack what we've seen actually though is two countries sri lanka and new zealand both of which are generally very very peaceful most people to go to those countries would say peaceful countries where these horrendous attacks have taken place. world leaders and top political figures have condemned the attacks and expressed their condolences the well wishes include two leading names in the u.s. democratic party for president barack obama spoke of the attack on tourists in easter worshippers however many of pointed to apparent discrepancies with the aftermath of the new zealand mosque massacre last month and obama named the muslim community as victims the same things being noted with obama's former top diplomat hillary clinton she also used the phrase easter worshippers instead of christians yet similarly after the mosque assaults expressed condolences to the muslim community that in journalist. thinks that the discrepancy is part of

a disturbing trend don't normally happen is it the rams in america is very christian. democratic quality which. you know was christianity is reflected in the policy but iraq was hillary clinton but even in germany so i mean why in the world is just to be this is an attack against all of us which at this push we're least against all of us christians and i know over the years about peacefully christians were the victims and nobody says that we are all on the sides of these. rows of power attacks or you have to raise the consciousness that what you are experiencing right now in an international never used in. berlin has become home to some of the biggest criminal clans in the world according to one of the city's most famous bodyguards michael kors

a will kick boxing champion and while he claims to favor multiculturalism he's worried cover migration policies of 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 gun they are ready to shoot and kill. it there is a lot everyone has to abide by. there are firm believers in berlin like our zain. show crew these are big families well known in the criminal world but you can see all of them a criminal many have nothing to do with it. all. up don't look good it will be. kept open to one woman because i just did it because i was peace a lot of. so 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 speak very positively about them because many found themselves in the criminal world as a result of government mistakes we have to give these guys some credit the german government hadn't done enough to integrate and then many of them couldn't get a job license for years and that's why they resorted to criminality. these clowns 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. to visit i found in my own 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 lynn's night life under control they are godfathers now totally controlling it including drugs prostitution and share their own 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. potentially dangerous criminal element of. government policy completely filled.

totally under the situation they're trying to minimize the damage but it's not an easy thing to do. by cooperate with the police you give them the opportunity to be independent i don't depend on any clan my clan is the police the. questions are being raised over the growing links between facebook and the us government says the social media giant announced it's hired the u.s. state department's legal advisor to be as general counsel and vice president of communications the company says that jennifer newstead will oversee facebook's global legal functions you said has had a long career in u.s. government service with both the state and justice departments she was part of the team that 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 this platform that is it has done it takes a closer look 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 news 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 uploaded on their

you tube channel paternalist 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 i was down from. the. world. so it's. training to check in for journalists and look at journalism as a wow i wonder how many more journalism students are 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. 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 having 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 u.s. 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 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 or i mean by different nisshin here the mainstream media and mainstream news are 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 this story 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 a 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 a 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 we believe is a much larger iceberg beneath the surface we often only discovered the existence of law enforcement fake profiles months if not years after the first occasion that. comes after u.s. immigration and customs enforcement agents reportedly used facebook in a sting operation to count illegal migrants officials created a fictional college it's called the university of farmington and it promoted the

enrollment of foreign students have to check in the background of those who applied they ended up arresting around one hundred thirty people. u.s. government agencies insist that their use of social media is essential for successful investigations 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 operating fake accounts is not allowed and we swiftly act on any violating accounts activist type barry told us that no fake account should be above the law. the united states alliance horsemeat does not only buy only facebook lies it in it by elites our own federal state local municipal lots the federal government the local government even vigilante groups in the in the border states continuously violently sorry 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 control or our 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 are going to get your bad out there are no good big in there there's only me. and the lead to a member of a far right militia group detaining migrants at gunpoint near the mexican border that appeared before us federal court the group has already attained more than three hundred migrants in just the last week. they're still counting this is crazy a little break here in a can. of worms larry mitchell hopkins was arrested on saturday by the f.b.i. over allegations that he's a convicted felon in possession of firearms and ammunition agency also claims that

he had previously planned assassination attempts on barack obama hillary clinton and billionaire george soros all of which he denies has been claimed hopkins was part of a group called the united constitutional patriots is said to be predominantly comprised of military veterans armed with guns and tactical gear operating in new mexico detaining illegal migrants the group started to post online videos showing their so called work. that the group claims it's done nothing wrong and that there's a crisis at the border so it helps the patrol guards the lawyer for hopkins also question why the f.b.i. only got involved after the video's release the actions of the militia group though have provoked widespread anger regular citizens have no authority to arrest or detain anyone this isn't to reduce should not attempt to exercise authority results for law enforcement we do not condone private groups that take in force moves into

their own hands interference by civilians in law enforcement could have safety and legal consequences their actions undermine efforts of our state to keep new mexico families safe this is no place in our state we cannot allow racist arm to vigilante it's to kidnap people seek him asylum my colleague daniel hawkins earlier discuss the difference between protection and prosecution with international affairs expert george some wally and political analyst day perkins. how is this a situation that's to be encouraged or defended in any way well it all this economy courage and defend it on the other hand it is an understandable response to and on except it will situation each of waking us to the fact that the law and also little car it is. not doing the job that they are supposed to do it's not necessary to come here and step across the border in order to get an

asylum claim considered much comfort and ease is given to them to do that without crossing the border so my problem with the whole issue is is that they are being its own needs to do it they're being encouraged to do it by the left by the democrat party in america it's political something has to be done about this asylum i mean it is it is absolutely ridiculous that people come in illegally they borrow a child somewhere use that child as a problem apply for asylum and then because children we also raise. that you simply walk across into the country i mean this is this is a this is nonsensical someone said the militia might shoot someone guys running around with guns is dangerous a lot of people in america have been shot by illegal aliens so what's next here you know vigilante groups in cities vigilante groups in other places take you'll throw to into their own hands without any sort of training without any sort of.

experience we have about forty million military veterans with firearms training and combat experience or many of them trained in managing groups of hostile people one way or another we have as citizens people who are willing and able to do what the government is unwilling and apparently unable because of gridlock to do i don't worry about the american people i'm an optimist we have three hundred or four hundred million guns in the hands. one hundred twenty to one hundred fifty million american citizens no one was shot in america today no one was shot in america yesterday likely no one will be shocked america tomorrow the american people i'm talking about as a people who know and revere and understand the constitution they haven't really done anything terrible i mean all a have done is they operate handed people crossing the border illegally and then having a free and the. cold in the professional at the border let's roll this thing without

international a day is coming your way in half an hour. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to.

have to go right to press for survival before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the wives in the. first. this bin i'm berlinger craftwork hey what's up yes well of course you are quoting john f. kennedy when he went to berlin and said been berliner to the people of berlin right after the wall was erected back and was in one nine hundred sixty s. early one nine hundred sixty s. and he went there to declare.
