the top stories this hour social media giant twitter says it will ban ordered for distance from state controlled media were lying though on government funded think tanks to determine in force under that definition also to come in the recording confirms early reports that america's war and gas industry despite the government to criminalize protests against high pliant and it is secure to the day since a major chemical attack in syria seems we look at what progress has been made by the official investigation case under those across the.

globe good afternoon you with r.t. international match social media platform twitter has announced it will no longer accepted the place by government controlled media artie's don't cotton looks now 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 between engaging in conversation with accounts you choose to follow on the content you see from advertisers in your to its 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 titties it's different and twitter is put together a diverse team of western media organizations to draw the line between good and bad

that's right freedom house the apparently independent and u.s. state funded and geo 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 advertise in him publish on twitter. now a league saudia recording has revealed the american oil and gas lobby group helped secure legislation that criminalize protests against pipelines that was in response to demonstrations against the construction of a pipeline in north dakota a juror in which activists chained themselves to equipment protesters also started

that they're using to criminalize protests. with. the. 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 killed a 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 outweigh the efforts. grassroots environmental and 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. says 6 years to the day since a major chemical attack on the syrian capital. back in 2030 in the rebel stronghold in damascus 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 for the syrian president bashar assad to respond to those allegations calling them part of the fake narrative of the west nevertheless he committed to destroying his country's chemical arsenal the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons launched a special fact finding mission to to investigate that incident and those in its wake because reports now more progress has been me. 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 un 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 lebanon 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 the chemicals that needed to be mixed together to become toxic according to the u.n. to facilitate this would be a tall order the a 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 had been a success. and any nation that looked to see it was a holes of the virus put forward and yet for any report is that these were. filled with something else k. but these canisters that there was no device shown these cancers would rule out on to being. refill are not accountable so this is a big question mark and yes taken something constructive to devise which allegedly can be ineffective where the pattern continues in other reports 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 over look 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 harm shake 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 cheap problems that they're being ok in many of the alleged attacks there's been a reliance on. n.g.o.s reliant on ones asians which are not independent that the bigger question is raised how much international organizations un. do you been subjected to external pressure in order to generate that. geopolitical 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. it was done of reporting there we asked the o.p.c. w. to comment on why some evidence appears to have been ignored although so far they haven't responded. russia's top diplomat has accused the u.s. of long wanting to pull out of a nuclear arms treaty so caliber of comments come as washington announced it has started to develop a new missile previously banned under the now defunct i n f arms control deal between the countries. it should be known from october of last year when the us national security advisor john bolton visited us he said that donald trump statement about washington's withdrawal from the treaty is not an invitation to dialogue but a final decision it appears that then or maybe even earlier the u.s. started preparing the missile tests conducted on sunday and banned by the i.n.f. treaty long before the i.m.f. treaties demise parts of the us establishment were eager to enhance america's

nuclear capabilities the united states must regain the strategic advantage by exploiting the development and deployment of a new generation of ground launched missiles now the department of defense will be able to conduct those research and development activities bent under i.n.f. treaty so the department of defense will start their steps on building though system they couldn't before former u.s. diplomat jim trask gave us his views on the missile test and also the collapse of the treaty. i believe that the decision to pull out of the i.m.f. was made of bad faith with the idea that we can attain strategic superiority over russia make russia's security situation i'm annabelle and that report. just with political leverage i think that's what these people think and i think of the speed with which this test was made is indicative not not dispositive not prove but indicative that that was the agenda all along united states establishment's not

necessarily mr trump but the a fabulous one see china as another adversary to be eliminated i think they are on deck after the russians but nonetheless that's the way they tend to look at that they don't see it in terms of your other powers in the world with their own interests their own legitimate spiritual influence how do we accommodate that how do we come to a balance of our will rather there's only room on this planet for one hedge on that and these people must submit or the subdue. weekly's prime minister has and i'm sees quitting plunging the country into an even deeper in the civil crisis off the bright one haven't the ramifications of what could happen in the.

put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to. have to go right to be cross that's what before 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested in the water. question. 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 bed they were in power and they enclosed this little model and now we've got neo feudalism are you guys central bankers discussing how many derivatives can be stuffed into a worthless pension fund and we've got folks in san francisco in newark new jersey dying for medieval diseases.

oh yeah i knew without seen that the italian prime minister has resigned after a year of tension within its knees ruling coalition he had been threatened with a vote of no confidence by the country's interior minister and by flashback to each other in parliament. well you got bernal called freedom is not about having a master but about not having a master i don't want italy to be enslaved by any one go to me to do minister of the interior do by promoting this government crisis you have taken on a great responsibility before the country you announced this crisis asking for full powers to govern the country you approach worries me. was.

so what happens next them all contact has been asked to stay on as as part of a caretaker cabinet and there's also talk to the new governing coalition being formed but if that doesn't happen the president could also dissolve parliament and then force a snap elections and the question then would be who would benefit from that we're looking at the latest surveys they don't predict that with math or sell the party would get something like 38 percent of the vote if an election were actually held today and that is significantly more than a 5 star movement who had formed part of the coalition government that was back in june last year and was an unusual combination to between the left wing 5 star movement and 2 and also the anti migration the league party all are part of a researcher at the italian center for electoral study says the coalition is never going to last long. it was the 1st government formed by these 2 parties that by

some woman never been in government and the league previously in government but with certain right governments or so this was a new experimental coalition governments we have problems that clearly show governments that these unique one was not expected to last a bit longer regardless of what that means there is hope to go and be clear in the beginning but of course nobody expected these to fall let along to start so close a balance to beat up all but this is completely surprising and even m.p.'s from the league didn't really understand why selfie moved so fast in this very moment. ok let's have a look at some other world news in brief now refugees living in the pakistan and was part of kashmir held a rally demanding that india end its lockdown of its part of the region hundreds chanted and from the slogans and protesters also burned in effigy of the indian prime minister even part of kashmir has been locked down since august the 5th when india stripped of regionalism ptolemy telephone and internet communications they're

currently restricted elsewhere a man hijacked a bus on a bridge in brazil's readers unirea taken to 37 passengers hostage there he used a fake gun and threatened to separate us some fire he didn't make any particular demands in the suspect was shot dead by police after a 4 hour standoff nobody else was hurt although the incident to trigger a major traffic problems and police in southeast to have dispersed kurdish protests with water cannon intake ass the region has been gripped by armrest since the firing 3 kurdish mez elected back in march they were accused of links to the p.k. k. which ankara considers a terrorist organization 400 protesters have been arrested since monday the government crackdown comes amid fears of a cross border military operation in kurdish areas of northern syria. and lastly this hour

a prominent defender of media freedoms has been slammed for breaching press freedom that after the bodyguard of c.n.n. say pariah and forcibly prevented another journalist from filming a space age. it is a sad day. when. a u.s. president does not stand by the constitution the 1st amendment freedom of the 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 they started they started up. a security guard assaulted me in

a hotel lobby after stealing our camera. whatever it. was when i think. that i did it all cheer put that down by. miss ryan's remarks well 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 ryan mr morris proceeded to unplug my camera grab the tripod it was connected to and steal the entire thing. i. feel like shit ok. i know. 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 out of the building. i.

know this is the same a pariah in this is a bit strong. encourages violence at his rallies people get thrown out and that's just part of it as like a blood sport and then he or she is having something that is much worse happen at one of our own events it 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 and have a new body guard basically beat somebody up almost say her particular event he won't talk about that because about protecting their and their name and their image but i talk about shop day long even if it was illegitimate excuse to throw a person now even if they were trying to fight other people will talk about their pain chump and his supporters as violent as negative is hateful and his races but on their end of it they just perfect dangers they can do no wrong. and that is the

news for now you watch not say all programs continue off the. same wrong. just. yet to shake

out. and in. the trail. find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. you know world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wade to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. know why a paradise with some around turned into

a round the experimentation field but 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 that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that 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 racism going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. this is a murder that was caught on video the murder was committed by the great street

crips it was an in-house murder meaning that a street crypt killed another street crips oftentimes gang members go by cold and one of the code says to never commit crimes against your own gang members in this particular scenario or murder investigation there was a. transplant that was a narcotics user he went to purchase narcotics from 3 crew members on the narcotics was he the bad or he was somehow slighted on it as a result he went to another great street cred gang member in got a gun with a gun the transience shot and killed a gang member at the time of the shooting there was another great street gang member with each person that was killed the victim of the murder and according to the game code he asked to make amends for allowing a gang member to be killed on his own watch. if he doesn't act toward take. some sort of action against the shooter that he will be disciplined by his own gang so.

on this scenario that particular gang member. carries out the murder against the great street gang member who provided the gun to the transit and it's all caught on video. this is inside jordan downs it's mid day and you can see there's about 10 to 15 gang members loading the parking lot. just going about their daily business. ok here's the group here of the game members several of them loitering you going to see the victim of the shooting come running. to this area with the suspect shooting behind them. here you can see on the game members scatter. and they kind of hang around. because they know what's going to be a great street on great street or who's disciplining another member so they sit. i don't watch where it is it was all right looking all of them with one out of the way because they'd all be intended targets here the suspect is chasing the victim

around the vehicle. and he's just waiting to kill him. here the victim tries to run the sussman shoots him in the hand. he falls. and then he comes up and finishes among. you puts the gun in his back we're going to somebody and then just slowly walks away he has nothing really to fear here in the neighborhood because they're all great secret gang members and he's banking on the fact that no one's going to go to court and testify against them. and you see that nobody's really shocked about it nobody's talking about it nobody chased down the suspect. and then they just go about their daily activities of the and then obviously homicide will come in and start their investigation. the 1st time when i was shot 3 times i mean i really didn't realize until my stomach start burning stomach start burning i knew

something wasn't right so. i went to spit and i want to spit the spitting come all the way out of my mouth there must i stop burning even more call ambulance basically and i got shot the 10th and it was early in the morning i was actually stranded somewhere somebody walked up to say as bad as back came from behind his back and called me by name and shot me in my face 1st as well when he shot me my face i turned and went to try to run the shot in the back and i laid it like a girl a baby make me spin like michael jackson they would let me go no where as so after that the 2 shots with 38 i don't know who had the 38 but i saw the one with the 45 in my face and i got 8 with a 45 into it 38 at that point and the humorous part you see when i was laying there i was saying your brain steals we work it so when i'm laying there and i pay as gay as i thought i was going to die because you know he said you do with yourself before you die and. go out. like oh.

i could really. get out of the sad face so i just had this one open like. the and once i got to ask it was another scary feeling i went through because when i was back when really rushing to do it was like they will sit nobody in a huddle and i'm sitting i'm trying to say how do i and my job really open to the feel like my jaw was broke from when a bullet had to look so now my brain saying. the doctors came in at last or really kind of feeling myself getting around because i had the collapse. right as i'm raising my shirt up and seeing with all this that i'm feeling. that i had a heart attack the doctors had walked in right when they walked in and it was like a whole another. just went through my he could you can actually see. and you know that was the experience what they have right there.
