they're ready to shoot a high profile german bodyguard reveals why it's so difficult to deal with the making. of ethnic crime. live from moscow watching r.t. international i'm daniel hawkins or if you are today thanks for joining us on the program. growing ahead of the upcoming summit between valley near putin and. the kremlin's confirmed will take place in the russian city of blood of all stock this. north korean state media reported that the country's leader set off from pyongyang for russia's far east in the early hours of wednesday morning. traveling by private train he's reportedly arrived at the russian border the north korean leader left to

a great deal of pomp and fanfare to arrive and out of all stock later on wednesday . in the city for us ahead of the first ever summit between president putin and chairman kim. 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 whom 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. will be visiting russia at the invitation of freshman president vladimir putin during the visit there will be a summit between conjunct 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're 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 as it's believed she's often being called the vonn 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 john 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 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.

sort of broad cost american jet ski told us what she considers to be the reason 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 that. the american north korean detente those two summits happened without really any reference or any consideration of russia 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 subversive that russia would want to be involved if there's going to be any strategic change in that part of asia. because president's promise to radically restructure the country's security forces over their failure to prevent a string of devastating bombings on easter sunday your thirty's have admitted he received a number of detailed warnings about the impending atrocity which islamic state has claimed responsibility for but failed to heed the warning stories of course to join jacki weaver in the studio. 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 victims 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 of the intelligence agencies they have been on the fourth of april international intelligence agencies informed us that such an incident could take place there 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 in 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. i . this is one of new zealand's kist days.

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 first 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 you tube 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 he thinks 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 to someone somewhere you know somewhere across the world as provided intelligence which within the sri lankan or thirty's it seems to have got lost certainly 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 who go to those countries would say peaceful countries where these horrendous attacks have taken place or world leaders and top political figures as well have condemned the attacks and expressed their condolences well wishes include two leading names in the u.s. democratic party or president barack obama spoke of the attack on tourists and

easter worshippers however many have pointed to the apparent discrepancy with the aftermath of the new zealand mosque classical last month when 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 recently after the mosque assaults expressed condolences to the muslim community the vatican journalist michael has someone thinks the discrepancy is part of a worrying trend. the only happy is it never ends in america is very christian. democrats out there which. you know who is antichrist anything like that in the policy but i requested. clinton but even in germany so i mean why norwood is just a this is an attack against all of us which is this for sure at least against all of us christians and over the years that peacefully praying christians

over to cher's that we all understand it's obvious we. are attacked so we have to raise the consciousness that it's being right now on an international level is the biggest persecution of fish. it's become home to some of the biggest criminal clans in the world that's according to one of the city's most famous bodyguards while curry is a world kick boxing champion and while he claims to favor multiculturalism he's also worried current migration policies have allowed gangs to thrive in the capital or says the shuttle 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. their resume or everyone has to abide by. the refer milly's in berlin like. show crew is

a big family as well known in the criminal world but you can 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 law. i've been in this business since one thousand nine hundred eighty two there's one though almost every family even if i don't know someone they've heard about me then i'm a fan of multiculturalism and i always speak very positively about those and because many found themselves in the criminal world as a result of this thing 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 clans are closely tied together they're like a whole 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 the linz 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 with potentially dangerous criminal and us. government policy completely failed thirty's totally under the situation 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 i don't depend on any clan my clan the police. i would discord are growing in the u.k. as conservative party oh it's a reason why is handling of the e.u.

exit process a group of tory brooks it is expected to meet on tuesday to consider laying the groundwork for the prime minister's removal got the details. conservative backbench m.p.'s in particular the nine hundred twenty two committee there now are trying to decide whether or not the internal party rules can be changed because we know that the reason may was challenged in a no confidence vote just a few months ago and according to party rules that can only take place once every year but there are talks about whether to change that so that another leadership contest can take place before that year is up and it would appear that there is no shortage of candidates who are going to try to run against the prime minister and we can have a look actually and see what the latest polls say according to conservative hone the website boris johnson the former foreign secretary is a clear favorite according to this poll he's on thirty two point four percent

following him is dominic rob is nearly eighteen percent behind at fourteen point seven percent so huge lead for mr johnson then comes the environment secretary michael gove he's on eight point four percent last lee or at least in fourth place is jeremy holland he's on six point five percent so these are the leaders of the competition if you would know there is no indication of course that there has been any agreement amongst the one hundred twenty two committee as to whether there will be a change to the rules so that leadership contests can take place but we do know the prime minister has promised her own m.p.'s that whenever the next election comes she will stand down and won't contest it as leader of the conservative party a political risk analyst listen morality told us she doesn't believe that toppling to reason my would necessarily help bring the bricks of the block to a close. well the change the rules to suit their own needs you see what happens when pressure is put on politicians and that's what happens when we really see the

truth of the matter come out into its entirety they really want something to happen they want their way to go and they're willing to bend the rules to get let's say you do have a different change of leadership what does that fundamentally mean to the bruiser process the facts that are still the same no matter who gets in there they need to sort this mess out and it's on them to really do a better job than through the may if they feel they can do it so the pressure will be on the next person to come along to deliver whether or not they will deliver us and that's a different story. the questions are being raised over the growing links between facebook and the u.s. government that as the social media giant announced it's hiring the u.s. state department's legal advisor as its own general counsel and vice president of communications the company says jennifer newsted will oversee facebook's global legal functions or news that has had 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 after the nine eleven attacks. and your appointment comes amid unprecedented

pressure on facebook to tackle the spread of misinformation and fake news on its platform r.t.c. was not off takes a closer look at the 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 spokes well it doesn't instead it effectively 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 it was done for me. the. world. over it's time. training researching and for journalists to look at journalism as a true 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 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 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 then discredit anybody who might be criticising 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 mission 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 these 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 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. i mean while the leading digital rights group the electronic frontier foundation is calling on facebook to crack down on 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 discover the existence of law enforcement fake profiles months if not years after investigation has concluded . all this comes after u.s. immigration and customs enforcement agents reportedly used facebook in a sting operation to cats illegal migrants officials created a fictional court it's called the university or 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. u.s. government agencies insist their use of social media is essential for successful of us the geishas facebook though disagree with. 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 access to you barry told us no fake accounts should be above the law. the united states alliance boersma does not only buy only facebook live it in it by elites our own federal state local municipal lots the federal government the local government even vigilante groups and the in the border states continuous violent.

human rights were undocumented people in people seeking asylum here in this country i think it's become a hero of the united states of america wants to be control or 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 to you are going to get your bad out there are no good big in there there's only. just come up to four thirty am here in moscow thanks for things hearing that are to international or back in a thirty minutes with the latest global news update. montes huddle hotep international memorial awards twenty nine c. the now open for entries all media professionals are eligible whether you are
