and injuring 2 others this comes a day often israeli missile strike killed 3 syrian servicemen middle east correspondent mohammed ali has the latest from damascus. an official syrian military source has confirmed that yes there was and is radiate russian on that c. 4 military airport which is east of homs and central syria according to syrian military 2 of the israeli air missiles were intercepted and down flights yes they were all there is very missiles that did reach their target the t 4 minutes the airports killing one and some young soldier and injuring 2 others also be israeli missiles cost some but serious damage and several other buildings around it c. 4 airports and also hits and i mean listen deep over there inside that c. 4 and military air force israel did not have comments on the incident this is not the 1st time that c. 4 military airport comes under israeli attack has since the start of the crisis in syria in 2011 this is the 3rd actually israeli attack on syria and on saturday

evening israel also attacked safety and minutes he posts in damascus southern countryside and and when a friend is turned next countryside and that attack that we say we have no soldiers were killed as a result and 7 others were injured the syrian foreign ministry did not comment on the issue but usually it also sends letters to the united nations complaining and saying that's those attacks are actually against international law undermining syria's since sovereignty and are aiming at boosting the morale of the remaining terrorist groups in syria. syria and israel have been locked in a half century confrontation over the golan heights the area was seized by israeli forces during the war and 967 years later next by israel but is still considered by the un to be syrian territory israel has repeatedly accused syria of hostile military activity in the golan heights and prime minister benjamin netanyahu recently said his country would not tolerate any firing into its territory we can

now bring in former pentagon security analyst michael maloof to discuss this further believe great to see you what do you think is behind this apparent surge an israeli military activity in syria and where could it lead. well it's it's aimed at us as bella and iranian targets of allegedly inside of syria and israel has actually stated in the past that it reserves the right to attack these targets out of concern that is that iran is ready to launch attacks into israel so far that some founded and they claim that they're hitting iranian and hezbollah targets but it's killing clearly killing. syrian troops now this all started when israel on its own initiated. an attack inside into syria almost a week ago and then syria responded and then the golan and then there was

a further attack syria it went in with 2 more rockets into the golan and we're seeing what we're seeing right now and so this thing has been escalating rather rapidly and i think of the timing is impeccable because of but internal politics with netanyahu who who's who has to form a new government in fact there's going to be new elections and on top of all that we have a percent of building toward. u.s. forces and in the going after a position to itself to go after iran so all of this is very calculated this is not accidental and the lesson until these the israeli start prop stop probably katie this is this is only going to escalate now syria has a right to protect its own sovereignty and if it's being attacked it has a right to respond but but you're not hearing that aspect when it comes to the western media and the this is very disturbing so what extent indeed think the u.s.

recognition of the golan heights israeli territory has been inflamed the situation has. well i think it was probably one of the few areas where they could launch some rockets into in order to get some results because other missiles that were fired into israel were actually intercepted so it's very difficult to or for syria syria has very limited capability busy of. doing any kind of counter attacks inside of israel except we go on and go i'm obviously very contentious the fact that the united states recognize the an exaggeration that you know declared only helps inflame the entire. situation there and you know it's all it's all part and parcel of the same thing of trying i believe trying to create a provocation that will result in pulling the united states into an armed conflict

not only with. his bolo but also with. a common a former pentagon security analyst thank you feel insight on the matter we appreciate your. on friday u.n. expert on torture claims the way julian assange has been treated amounts to psychological torture adding that he doesn't think the with an expandable get a fair trial if extradited to the u.s. . this is a woman asuncion bill maher christian together with 2 medical experts specialized in i don't define and documenting symptoms office equipment psychological torture and the treatment for sanctions with all the symptoms that are typical for a person that has been exposed to psychological torture over a prolonged period of time we're speaking of severe stress some chronic anxiety and severe psychological trauma what i have never seen use several democratic states going up in order to prosecute them is an isolated and single out any particular

individual without granting him. actually. according to the u.k. foreign secretary condemns the un assessment is wrong and inflammatory while saying a silence had always been free to leave the ecuadorian embassy in london and on sunday jeremy hunt added that the government will not stand in the way of a songes extradition but will leave it up to the courts. earlier in the week an extradition hearing for a start was postponed on health grounds probably boyko the details. dude the sound was actually meant to be here in person he was meant to pass via video link but he's not even well enough to appear via video link 10 minutes on she's been moved to the hospital wing old belmarsh prison that's up to a maximum security prison where 7 out of 53 eccentric specific details when he went

into the ecuadorian embassy back in 2012 and went to the state of the brain inside about the face of his health what we know is that there was a push from the the medical board of. the fact that they did this and that may put him on the world speaks speaks plenty and that's how you know being in a higher security max the maximum security prison is difficult for anyone but julian spent 7 years confined in the ecuadorian embassy before but without medical treatment without a hospital medical treatment attorneys call him in other words states that most people might think this was going to be the 2nd hearing about this on just the extradition it will have to be a fairly procedural affair well that wasn't me major arguments from a scientific team or the prosecution the official start of it has been moved to the 12th of june essentially the question of what's meant to be all cute and hair boils down to 2 fundamental things it is to get us on to act as

a journalist when he published those phrases that secret u.s. materials and information and crucially for him is the u.k. going to allow him to be handed over to the u.s. so far as he is where he could face up to hundreds and 75 years behind bars who turned 17 counts on the espionage act and one problem previous to that julian is facing i'm 75 years in prison which is outrageous the idea that a publisher can be. prosecuted and persecuted a publishing the truth and face the lifetime and in a prison in another country is. it's outrageous this espionage act has never before been gives against a journalist only against government officials who leaked secrets in the past of course washington's argument is that a sound isn't a journalist that he's a backpack and that his publications put the lives of informants for the u.s.

. for its allies around the world in grave danger although what's interesting here is that with the charges unveiled against. a lot of people even his critics of which there have been many many press freedom organizations and just journalists and whistleblowers around the world say that what happens with this exhibition case could have serious implications for freedom of the press and for journalists around the world which is why. so much attention. has been a new development in the songs case the u.s. justice department has reportedly dropped some of the charges against the wiki leaks founder relating to the leak of cia spying tools. your special counsel robert mueller has resigned 2 years after he opened his probe into alleged collusion between donald trump bounds russia speaking to the public for the 1st time since the investigation he sought to clarify the major findings of the

report but is kind of more can explain both camps in washington are interpreting his words in my ways. robert mohler is all done the special counsel's office is closing and he's going to retire and to celebrate 35000000 dollars and 2 years worth of work he decided to address the media there's an old psychological test they call the war shack and basically it's a set of ambiguous ink blots it's up to the mind of the patient to determine what to see and the 10 minute presentation of robert muller seems a very much be in the eyes of the beholder if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime we would have said so. we did not however make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime it's not that different from what he said at the end of his report but the democrats certainly took a lot from the statement of the mother was essentially referring impeachment to the united states congress. statement makes it clear congress has

a legal and moral obligation to begin impeachment proceedings immediately miller's statement makes clear would those who have read his report know it's an impeachment referral and it's up to congress to act they shewed given the special counsel was unable to pursue criminal charges against the president if the congress threw stones of the crimes and other wrongdoing of president trump and we will do so i think it was very clear if you could clear the president he would have but he couldn't makes clear well muller said the report speaks for itself a special counsel found no collusion by any americans in ira's illegal activities now trump or the opposite from robert muller he says he's in the clear nothing changes from the reports there was insufficient evidence and therefore in our country a person is innocent the case is closed thank you then the white house press secretary clarified with the statement there was no real news and there he reiterated the points that he'd already made in the report. that we agree with them there was no

collusion there was no conspiracy and we consider this case. closed he completed his investigation now he's closed his office and it's time for everybody to move on the report has been published the investigation is long over but the saga continues both sides are sticking to what they said all along so yes to ask yourself if everyone was just going to keep saying what they've said the entire time impeach trump or no collusion why did we have the investigation to begin with caleb up on r t a new york t.v. host on political commentator steve malzberg told us that the democratic leadership understands that it won't be able to get trump in paged. nancy pelosi knows that it's politically and unpopular and she would be the 1st to go schumer in the senate he knows that even if the house peaches donald trump then it goes to the senate and they have to convict him and they need 2 thirds of the senate to convict him

and schumer knows that's never going to happen it didn't happen with bill clinton when they impeached bill clinton he won reelection so nancy pelosi has been around long enough to understand that the public doesn't really care about this and they're fed up with this whole russia nonsense and so they know that even if they have pictures of the house and the house it's going to fail in the senate and donald trump i believe really wants to be impeached he's kind of egging them on you know hey do it if you want it's a horrible word it's a terrible thing but he's kind of prompting them to i dare you to do it because i think and i think nancy pelosi knows it will help trump and the establishment parties made big gains in the e.u. elections we look at why after the break.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. some want to be rich. but you'd like to be close this is what. really help you get. interested

in the why. there should. be international welcome back europeans have taken to the polls in the most fiercely contested the e.u. parliamentary election in recent history as our surge from stop us from the movements while centrist parties lost ground votes turnout was the highest in 20 years that more than 50 percent.

election so green and liberal parties make significant significant gains while anti establishment movements came out on top in countries like italy france and belgium right wing populist groups now hold about a quarter of the seats in the e.u. parliament the sharjah penske reports while the results might be surprising there's no shortage of political drama in the run up either for months pundits have been predicting a rise in anti establishment parties ahead of the e.u. elections after once they were right but across the bloc in the weeks leading up to the vote panic was setting in. take martin 10 days before france headed to the polls the e.u. top court ordered her to pay back 300000 euros to the european parliament this followed a case in which the national rally leader had been accused of paying an aide incorrectly but the timing felt off it was almost as if it was

a way to tell voters that her party just couldn't be trusted that came hot on the heels of accusations that former trump strategist steve bannon was actually the one pulling all the pen strings yet the public didn't seem to care and the national rally still talked the polls here in france other scandals that were rife in the media included one russians well at least the alleged russians. it was of course. the party which was in coalition. people's party found itself under the spotlight not for its potentially dubious policies but for a good old cash influence gambit. revici's

. he. there was even an attempt to drag le pen's name into the thick gate as it became known a few months ago marine le pen was singing the praises of austrian vice chancellor heinz christian straka saying how formidable he was struck as being forced to resign we find out why he was trying to sell his services to foreign forces behind this nationalist movement is a submission to foreign forces despite this the f p o still managed to pick up just over 17 percent of the vote in austria. there was also of course the elections very own 2 moment one swedish democrats candidate accused the other of sexual harassment and even though this scandal washed away it didn't hamper the anti immigration party's performance they increased their share of the vote to more than 15 percent.

and despite merkel not calling it out warning the populous parties wanted to destroy europe we are haring to deal with populist movements that in many areas are contemptuous of our values and want to destroy the europe of the values we represent we have to stand up to this these parties significantly increase their representation in many parts of the e.u. sex money the long arm of washington reaching for controlling europe nothing seemed to put voters off seeking something new what is clear from the results of these elections is that the old guard could no longer count on the masses to support them in blind faith what europeans want is something different it seems but godless what that is what i think why you're skeptics because of the migrants people are skeptical because they do not know what it's going to get them they're afraid of

migrants or. that i think the reason is the decline in the number of elites compared to the rest of the people as well as the quality of the democratic representation. spots because they are caused because i was young i think it is because of immigration all europeans who are afraid of tea many migrants coming i think this is the primary cause of this vote. in part. parties had a disastrous defeat in my opinion it was high time for it and now we'll see whether the european results can influence our national politics all be implemented here on . the truly i think the braggs the debate in england has made many people here in germany think about it this discussion has turned many citizens against the u. . i think people feel as if the existing political parties are giving them what they want and therefore their hunting around for something else i think says some extent is probably a protest just trying to engineer a tory vote to go more with knowledge of their wasn't unexpected as an outcome i

would say that kind of a level of division i would have expected across the country. liverpool are today celebrating the 6th time they have lifted the champions league trophy after beating spurs in last night's final in madrid. the s. s. a s. well they were naughty former manchester united manager jason rainier has been covering the ups and downs of the tournament and he's on the touchline show and the last episode of the season marino sums up the results of the season you can watch

in full on monday but now here's a quick preview. what is the most important thing in football. we all know. one. a bit confused thing knowing that arm close to your body. in a position that is not a natural position like it happened and of course the human being needs the arms to keep the balance i think he was nervous because he's not the super penalty taker. you made the right decision the quality of the game was not good the quality of passing was not good we didn't play like we like we normally do i didn't really

normally like i do i didn't think that normally i do i think that must be a very bad very bad feeling of course it even had on his mind we are going to be losing one you love to 50 seconds and probably was thinking. even game a game in the control doesn't play and the result is the same everyone will be saying crane has to pay even with one leg we. i'm sorry the world we managers we the affordable in my entire team my best friends the ones that were closer to me are the ones that were not starting players the only thing that i didn't enjoy was my then sink on ice in moscow.

aims are because it's going to be the sum total of all the people who are working on these algorithms a whistleblower someone who used to work for facebook came forward last year and said i was one of the news curators at facebook a bunch of us used to sit around every day and we used to remove stories from the news feed that were too conservative and now and then we inject a story that we saw it was really cool. the facebook founder mark zuckerberg says he's committed to giving everyone a voice news from responding to an allegation that facebook edits conservative views out of its trending topics they can suppress certain types of results based on what they think you should be seeing based on what your followers are presenting now a new report claims that according to a former facebook employee the social media mega company sometimes ignores what is actually trending among its 1000000000 users if the story originated from

a conservative news source or if it's a topic causing buzz among conservatives. facebook costly manipulates or users they do it by the things that they insert into the news feeds they do it by the types of posts they allow their users to see and the fact that they actually decided to do psychological experiments on their users is something that i think a lot of people need to really fully understand and they were doing it based upon the fact that different things that people posted they want to see how other people would react to it. on how to watch why your facebook friends post can have a direct effect on your mood new research shows the more negative posts you see the more negative you could become. so if for example let's say somebody wanted to post something that was on the news feed that was a very negative story they want to see how their users would react via their lie. by their statements by their posts and they would show people who already had

a predilection to maybe having some depression or maybe having some other issues in their lives and they can figure that out based upon your like space upon your connections based upon where you're going and so what they want to do is take that information and then use it to basically weaponize this information against their users so that way their users could see different things that may affect their mood and may affect how they interact with others and that's something that is highly unethical it appears that some young people may have been so affected by this that they may have done harm to themselves based upon what they saw on their facebook feed and it was all because it is experiments these things that we have no standing with facebook we're not citizens of facebook we have no blood on facebook it's not a democracy. this process is not a way we can design the future we can't rely on this single company to invent our digital future.
