and people still die i don't know which question are still alive aren't being hard to live so many of. the headlines this morning social media giant twitter announces it will ban order to purchase much from state controlled media were aligned on government funded think tanks to tell it to falls under that definition also it's become a legal gay recording confirms the early reports that america would and gas industry despite the government to criminalize protests against pipelines and it is 6 years to the day since a major chemical attack in series we look at what progress is being made by the official investigation into what happened.

there is just going out in the morning here in moscow are you watching. social media platform twitter has and i'm state will no longer accept a man's place by government controlled media quarter looks at who exactly is affected twitter users fear not the admins are taking new steps to protect you from the big bad state controlled media no longer will you be exposed to their alternative information via advertisements it's all for the best. we want to protect healthy discourse and open conversation to that and we believe that there is a difference for dating gauging and conversation with accounts you choose to follow on the content you see from advertisers in your twit experience which maybe from accounts you're not currently following by by b.b.c. and voice of america right well they might actually be what the social media giant

is calling taxpayer funded and tities it's different and twitter is put together a diverse team of western media organizations to draw the line between good and bad this policy will apply to news media entities that either financially or editorially controlled by the state has been informed by established academic and civil society leaders in this space sources include reporters without borders press freedom index freedom house the economist intelligence unit democracy index the european journalism send does media landscapes report the committee to protect journalists and unesco's framework to assess media development and independents that's right freedom house the apparently independent and u.s. state funded n g o that helped the cia with a 980 s. propaganda campaign twitter picked the right state funded organization for the job of censoring state funded organizations so why is twitter suddenly pumping media

doesn't like management didn't say but the mainstream media was able to connect a few dots when it comes to burning issues like the protests in hong kong there's only room for one perspective. state owned public funded independent what's the difference if at the end of the day you're only getting one take on controversial events it's a bad idea for twitter to put any restrictions on on any. media companies and on any of their advertising i i support freedom of speech any restrictions that companies like twitter or facebook start putting on media organizations it prevents as much dialogue that could happen and it leads to other other rules that could be worse for other organizations as well and it's not always

a very clear distinction on what is state controlled versus not state controlled and there are loopholes that will allow organizations like m.p.r. m.p.'s in the united states or the b.b.c. in britain to continue to to advertise in him publish on twitter. now the league's recording has revealed that in the american oil and gas will be group push for legislation that criminalizes protests against pipelines and i'm up in his moment. if you want to have big influence in washington d.c. and need to have a big lobby and that means you need to have big money meet the american fuel and petro chemical manufacturers the a f p m represents all the big names in the energy markets koch industries chevron exxon mobil valero energy to name a few now the f.p.m. has been around since 1902 making sure that the voice of the ultra wealthy oil

monopolists are not left out of the political process and it seems like their latest target has been protesters now the f.p.m. has crafted legislation in $22.00 different states already passed in 9 states that would severely restrict the activities of political activists who might get in the way of oil pipelines and other profitable infrastructure in an audio recording obtained by the intercept the group's senior vice president discusses the strategy that they're using to criminalize protests. now the language of the riot boosting act is a little bit vague it could be a stretch to outlaw even thinking about protesting big oil companies.

now this is the only law that's been pushed by the a.f.p. i am 28 teen age 30000000 dollar lobbying effort kill the carbon tax in washington state bigger cars means more gasoline and more gasoline means more profits for the oil companies the money and influence of big oil certainly our. way the efforts of grassroots environmentalist everybody knows that in the united states of america if you want something you have got to pay for it and the oil industry certainly has all the means necessary. but r.t. new york. ny wednesday marks 6 years since a major chemical attack on the syrian capital so. i can all this to 23 seen the rebel stronghold was targeted with rockets containing sarin gas and this prompted

international outrage with many pointing the finger at the syrian government the syrian government has utilized chemical weapons in its fight against rebels the syrian sarin gas attack which are ministration says the syrian government launched the assad regime has used chemical weapons including the nerve agent sarin syrian troops now have the deadly nerve agent sarin gas weaponized and at the ready you still have to understand that the president of the united states has yet to show the world hard evidence that it was indeed assad and his criminal regime that did it what's the reason president bashar assad responded to the allegations calling them part of the fake narrative of the west that the less he committed to destroying his country's chemical arsenal the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons don't see the special fact finding mission to investigate the incident because he's done of reports on what progress it's made. the syrian war

theater has become the seeing for some of the scariest chemical attacks of the 21st century in many acts of this tragedy it is still not known to this very day who launched noxious project tiles that have killed hundreds if not thousands of people for years the so-called fact finding mission and initiative over u.n. backed chemical watchdog has been tasked with dotting the ice the establishment of a fact finding mission was based on the general authority of the o.p.c. w. director general seek to uphold at all times the object and purpose of the chemical weapons convention. in a report on a series of chemical incidents in 2015 the mission showed a drawing of an alleged munition used in one of the attacks what they didn't mention though was that using such a device as a bomb didn't make sense it was loaded not with chlorine but rather chemicals that

needed to be mixed together to become toxic according to the u.n. to facilitate this would be a tall order the h.c.f. c hydrochloride fluorocarbon gas canisters commonly referred to as refrigerant canisters are widely available because they used to refill refrigerators and air conditioners however they are disposable and they repurchasing all refilling would require technical modification of the valve technical expertise and equipment would be needed to modify the valve to refill the canisters with liquids or compressed gas the report gave no clear indications as to how this has been a success. and if any nation that looked to see it was a holes of the virus claim forward and yet for any report is that these were. filled with something else k. but these canisters that there was no device shown councils would rule out.

to be refilled we're not accountable so this is a big question mark and yes we're taking something constructive to devise which allegedly can be ineffective where the pattern continues in other reports of by the fact finding mission to. a toxic attack and hunchy whom seem to reinforce bashar assad's reputation of a tyrant gassing his own people even though damascus denied any involvement the fact finding mission provided an extensive analysis of the incident but somewhat overlooked the fact that the closest the government planes got to hunchy who in their day was 5 kilometers the map indicated that the closest to handshake that the aircraft had flown had been approximately 5 kilometers away additional information

provided by the mechanism referred to 2 aircraft that had taken off from the shea rad air base at around the time indicated as above 10 minutes apart following the same flight path this effectively rules out the possibility of an air strike throwing a dark shadow of doubt on the version suggesting the government's involvement. another thing left out about this incident is the fact that some of the alleged victims had been admitted to hospitals before the attack some were chipped in as patients in a hospital more than a 100 kilometers away just 30 minutes after the incident the mission didn't seem to present any facts explaining how the ambulance could have covered this distance in under 30 minutes because to do so it would have had to go at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour to reach the facility one of the key problems that being in the station many of the alleged attacks there's been

a reliance on n.g.o.s rely on. and i was asian which are not independent that the bigger question is raised how much current international organizations un opie's in w been subjected to external pressure in order to generate that which served at your political goals the war in syria almost normalize the use of chemicals in warfare but it seems that the very mission there was a stablished to find out the facts as to who bears most of the blame has been just a bit selective as to which facts to look for because you've done of their will we asked the a.b.c. w. to comment on why some evidence appears to have been ignored although so far they haven't got back to us. they're watching out a still to come through this hour the italian prime minister has resigned ending a year of tensions in the ruling coalition will have a look at what this means and the potential ramifications just after the break.

i would normally just manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the frame of. the one person. doing or middle of the room sick. room in the real news room. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only

personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. pretty. low again now the italian prime minister you said becomes a has resigned after a year of tensions in italy's ruling coalition it means he avoids a no confidence vote that was being threatened by the country's interior minister the pair clashed in parliament. freedom is not about having a master but about not having a must or i don't want italy to be enslaved by anyone goto minister the minister of

the interior do by promoting this government crisis you have taken on a great responsibility before the country we were nance this crisis asking for full powers to govern the country you were worries me. i was. well the italian president presidents matter has asked commentator stay in place as part of a caretaker cabinet there are talks too that a new governing coalition might be formed and if that doesn't happen the president can then dissolve parliament and force a snap election so the question is who would perhaps benefit then if they went to the polls well a recent survey steve suggested if an early election was held today math yourself in the party would get 38 percent of the vote and that is significantly higher than what is projected for the coalition partners the 5 star movement the coalition

government was formed back in june of 2018 it was an unusual combination between the left wing 5 star movement and anti immigration anti establishment the link there pardo a research or the italian center for electoral studies says that the coalition never had much of the last thing in the long look. this was the 1st government formed by these 2 parties that by someone and never been in government and their legal previously in government but with certain right governments so this was a new experimental coalition governments we have problems in the coalition governments these are unique one was not expected to last a bit longer regardless of what that didn't mean is there is hope in the end be clear in the beginning but of course nobody expected these 2 for let inaudible start so close to their balance beautiful but this is completely surprising and even m.p.'s from the league didn't really understand why sell any move to so fast

in this very moment. smother world news in brief. and. refugees living in the pakistan the biggest part of kashmir held a rally demanding that india ends its lockdown of its part of the region hundreds chanted anti india slogans protesters burned in effigy of the indian prime minister in the part of kashmir has been on lockdown since august the 5th when india stripped the region of its autonomy telephone and internet connections they're currently restricted. elsewhere a man hijacked a bus on a bridge in brazil's reads you nero taking 37 past passengers hostage he used a fake gun and threatened to set the bus on fire it didn't make any particular demands the suspect that was shot by police after a 4 hour standoff no one else was harmed the instant they create a major traffic jam. police in southeast to have dispersed kurdish protesters with water cannon take gas the region has been created by armrests is the firing of 3

kurdish mez elected back in march they were accused of links to the p.k. k. which ankara considers a terrorist organization $400.00 protesters have been arrested since monday the government crackdown comes amid fears of a cross border military operation in kurdish areas of northern syria. now western media warning russian radiation monitoring stations have gone silent following an explosion earlier this month at the military site in the country's north. into the story. 2 russian radiation money touring stations have resumed operation and this news follows a number of alarming reports that were made earlier by a number of foreign news media claiming that several russian radiation money touring stations went offline allegedly after a nuclear accident that happened in russia north on august 8th now the wall street

journal wrote that 4 stations that were designed to detect nuclear radiation all went silent right after the blast the article raised concerns that russia was attempting to conceal avodah ends from the explosion at a missile test site the wall street journal quoted. both the executive director of the comprehensive nuclear attack. and we receive data from monitoring stations around the world now he per jack to the potential path of the plume from the explosion and posted it on his twitter feed now right after the accident russia sends special access very to the site to monitor the situation and just yesterday the country's president vladimir putin said that there was no threat of a radiation leak. but there is new and there's new spy can british and levels experts including independent ones are monitoring the situation i receive reports

from both military and civilian specialists and there's no significant change there but we are still taking precautionary measures to avoid any surprises. me now right after the accidents there were indeed very few details available on what happened and that mostly fuel the western tabloid the with the rumors of a true novel like disaster whispered radiation leak also appearing in the media with some even writing about the number of the disease to being higher now later the russian nuclear agency issued a report. revealing that the accident happened and they see platform after a series of trials and that there was no threat of a radiation leak. only a problem the fender of media freedoms has been slammed for breaching press freedom that after the bodyguard of c.n.n. a pariah and forcibly prevented another journalist from filming

a speech. it is a sad day. when a u.s. president does not stand by the constitution the 1st amendment freedom of press there's been efforts to silence me in the briefing room they have been efforts to discredit me you now have security. and you say the white house should pay for it i'm here because i started they started. a prudy ryans a security guard assaulted me in a hotel lobby after stealing our camera. well. when i. when i think. i don't you dare put them down.

miss ryan's remarks was then interrupted by a visit from the mystery man who i later learned is named joel morris and works as a security guard for miss wright mr morris proceeded to unplug my camera gramp the tripod it was connected to and steal the entire thing. of it off this guy. ok. yeah i guess i tried to get away from the perpetrator but within seconds he began assaulting me without provocation in the lobby and continued his assault as he forced me to build.

no this is a member ryan a says. encourages violence at his rallies people get thrown out and that's just part of it it's like a blood sport and then he or she is having something that is much worse happen at one of our own events seems pretty you know hypocritical to say the least well you want to protect themselves 1st and foremost say cname so they don't want to have any kind of negative coverage about their journalists and their pundits on air they won't talk about a pariah in heaven or bodyguard basically beat somebody up almost say her particular event they won't talk about that because about protecting their name and their image but i talk about shot all day long even if it was illegitimate excuse to throw person now even if they were trying to fight other people will talk about paint chump and his supporters as violent as negative as hateful and his races but

on their end of it they just perfect dangers they can do no wrong. and that brings up the unease that this wednesday morning we're back again with more stories for you at the top. going back to medieval days you had the church which is like a monetarist present day 21st century where they would discuss how many angels can dance on the head of a pin they were in power and they enclosed this little model and now we've got neo feudalism or you guys central bankers discussing how many derivatives can be stuff into a worker's pension fund and we've got folks in san francisco in newark new jersey die for medieval diseases. why a paradise with some all year round turned into a round the experimentation field for agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise

why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with lives because the people have less political power. to give me too much fuss made up with them we said. just that.

there's an awful lot in common i'm old but i'm also the most open. i don't make it was easy to please not emotional when i meet. his compass he most people almost home pianist even though he goes from getting notices to see he is pro-u. to i call. someone dumbly honest i'm not you see live in the you i don't like kind of the speaking. look it is. always the. the i'm not ok your list. is so to. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

so right now we're driving through both neighborhoods and you can see time and distance from each gang. so this is jordan. this is the territory claimed by the green street crips during war time bonnie hunt is now less likely to come in here because there's one way in and often one way out so once you come in to do a shooting you're trapped in their neighborhood and they can return fire so it's not the safest way to to avenge a shooting so often they'll go on the outskirts of the neighborhood hoping to get a great street kripke that's a lot of times when innocent people get shot. so in the next couple of days someone

from this development most likely will go over towards nickerson like they have the last couple of days and commit a shooting and vice versa so all these neighborhoods now are in play. for him you know. several months ago. a gentleman with the moniker of menace from 15 hero was caught inside the gang territory of the village voice a couple of the village boys. went outside jumped on menace beat him down and stuck to mr ashby you. and. they took the trash day and brought him back behind another house and tortured him they sodomized him they sliced him up with a machete and when they sliced him up they put in the end his chest the village voice. and then they continued to torture and then they wrapped him up in a rug burn down and dumped him in long beach there's one thing about beating a guy down or killing them but the torture of the sodomy all that stuff that's

that's just what gang members do so they follow menace right around here beat him down put him in the trash can and then they will hammer. to this location here. where they murder and assault them sodomized them in torture and. they're not concerned with people watching them commit crimes or being prosecuted because of that. they'll go after witnesses they'll intimidate them and if they have to the old even try to kill them you can see how they're marking up their neighborhood and his village voice. my personal opinion is a lot of gangs get a sympathetic ear to the general public and when the public's posed to exactly what these guys do. then everyone agrees that we don't want to in our neighborhood.

we. need.
