what you got into the house of the week a good morning headline in the u.s. state department confirms it attempted to bribe the captain. at the center of a diplomatic routes that could seize the best tell you about that coming up. also. south africa's xenophobic riots continuing there were foreign owned businesses are being looted in the capital johannesburg our correspondent there and we hear from people that you trust everything you. do you think it's going to get lists and lists of attempts to. bust the story about some residents of a neighborhood in jerusalem who a few areas south of the u.s. embassy this started to build a huge barrier around its new territory which they say blocks their view. i come out my house and i want to see the fuel but i don't want to get big stone. part of
2:01 am
a group of neighbors were trying to see what can be done to stop this. morning just another took them on a saturday on the 7th of september here in moscow when i was covered i don't think shooting into out international for this 30 minute with these rounded up so to be this the u.s. state department has confirmed yesterday it attempted to bribe the captain of the to rein in the oil tanker now called the adrian daria one which is at the center of a diplomatic row in order to detain it while the u.s. national security adviser john bolton has tweeted too that the tank has been seen now entering a syrian port previously to run denied it had made any promises about the ship's final destinations been a complicated long story this one washington has accused the tank you may recall of breaking u.s. and e.u. sanctions on the transportation of oil to syria it was briefly seized by the u.k.
2:02 am
and gibraltar. anyone who said the adrian daria one wasn't headed to syria is in denial terror and thinks it's more important to fund the murderous assad regime than provide for its own people we can talk pretty runs not getting any sanctions relief until it stops lying in spreading terror in august that tanker was released by the u.k. despite protests from the united states which is increasing pressure on iran it's been heading east since its release for about 2 weeks and was last seen in the eastern mediterranean region and after its tracking device was switched off don't know hawkins has got more this morning. if at 1st you don't succeed try and try again so keen with u.s. authorities to get their hands on a rainy and. they used everything at their disposal 1st came the stick accusing the tanker of moving the world to syria in breach of sanctions they went to the u.k. for help the british marines impounded the ship while it was passing through the strait of gibraltar the spanish foreign minister said the arrest came after
2:03 am
a demand from the u.s. to the u.k. . but on 15th of august gibraltar released the vessel it set sail into the mediterranean a few days later after being renamed from grace one to adrian daria one then came the carrot we've all had one of those emails i'm writing to you with good news what might you expect a surprise lottery win perhaps a huge inheritance from a long lost royal family member in africa well that's exactly the email that the ship's captain received but this wasn't the regular spam for the junk folder this came direct from the state department. this is bryan hook i work for secretary of state mike pump a 0 and serve as the u.s.
2:04 am
representative for iran the offer millions of dollars for captain kumar to dock his own tanker in a us friendly port that would allow it seizure by washington after the possibly confused captain failed to reply a 2nd the email hit his inbox the tone now less friendly with this money you can have any life you wish and be well off in old age if you choose not to take this easy path life will be much harder for you what lay behind this thinly veiled threats was left to his imagination to ron was understandably roiled having failed at piracy the us resource to outright blackmail deliver us iran's oil and receive several $1000000.00 or be sanctioned yourself sounds very similar to the oval office invitation i received a few weeks back it is becoming a pattern incredibly the state department confirmed of this unusual strategy even
2:05 am
adding this was no one off we have conducted extensive outreach to several ship captains as well shipping companies taps and kumar meanwhile is on the u.s. naughty list hold differently the story would have ended if only captain kumar had cashed in and just aren't that good news email. let's get the thoughts from around the this morning political science professor often a guest on this show from the universe in toronto they're good morning so john ball was tweeted about this already in tanker supposedly entered a syrian port now if confirmed how serious is it and what you know your and what's being said as it actually got to syria. well 1st of all contrary to what bolton claims the iranians never promised anything to anyone it is an iranian supertanker and it will abide by international law not bolton or trump or e.u. law iran is not some 2nd rate country that obeys western european white and
2:06 am
north american white masters it's a sovereign and independent country and if you run wishes to sell oil to syria it will and in fact it's a violation of human rights for the americans and the europeans to try to prevent ordinary sippin civilians in syria from being able to use oil to live their lives so but ironically the americans blocked the tanker from stopping at other ports they bullied the turks greece was also bullied levanon no one was for prepared to take the tanker so where else can it go but the syrian shore let's be clear is still full of oil here i expect that super tanker has gone to the mediterranean to sell oil and i think there's iran that's a guess as european sanctions and that's why it was of course it was called the grace one before just to remind our viewers it's now been renamed it was held by
2:07 am
you care for a tease then released. why was it released by the u.k. authorities but then it's still a problem for the us what's happening here. well the reason why the british blocked the tanker was because they were ordered to do so by the americans and they were violating international law by blocking the supertanker because even if the european union has sanctioned syria which itself is inhuman to try to block the syrian people from getting food or oil and so on but even if they if we assume that they made such sanctions for sincere reasons they cannot impose them on iranian tankers that's exactly what the americans do so what the omotola do now it seems to have it seems to got to the point where the captain of this vessel was even bribed by the americans at one point as admitted yesterday
2:08 am
it's not where to go about doing things isn't it it's extraordinary the united states is truly the world's number one rogue regime a big bully they bribe individuals they bully countries they bully allies it's extraordinary i mean trump is not really different from previous presidents in the united states are all of them have been violating human rights in baiting country after country supporting terrorists in syria and yemen and so quickly real quick because we're out of time so what's going to happen now do you think what's the view in iran if this boat has got to syria is full of oil. or whoever the americans have tried to bribe it that's not worked it's got to its destination and sell the oil what's the likely very quickly response going to be for american energy. well the americans should be very careful about whatever actions they are think are contemplating the last time that happened the british
2:09 am
took an iranian tanker the iranians retaliated and took a british tanker and when an american jew 100 $1000000.00 drop by the end of the iranian air space iranians the iranians knocked it out of the sky so the americans should be very careful the iranians have the will and the means to protect their sovereignty so i don't have a political science professor of the university to run things criminal program. check and i'm so the african ongoing problem is that those xenophobic riots show no sign of abating in the capital johannesburg foreign owned businesses being looted as tensions there escalate on monday the country's minister of police describe the situation in the city as a national emergency no less fall asleep has got the latest our correspondent. here in johannesburg which you have seen some of the worst violence against foreigners south africa as you can see here. taking what they can see something that was ok
2:10 am
but not because of what where are you that it could be any moment now the entire building can come tumbling down because they believe hammering the structure now the mood on the ground it's a little bit edgy we don't feel under the same comfortable calming we've been told the bono is nowhere to be seen and no doubt he is trying to stay as far away from these kind of scenes as possible because one still gets missed is that the situation has not returned to complete can i know it's hard to believe but this was a bottle stall one of the class who is working there was who comes from zimbabwe what's new how to make up one family need to have an equal probably the british well they did. then the one monday night around 121211 some way they've gone but then they been. able man pinger. from a global moment to be taken to be made a big and to stand. across the road here is alan who owns
2:11 am
a hardware store and did you ever think that you would see these kind of scenes happening so close to a business own fortunately don't bring through it before in crews of them like we had the similar experience to the chemist secret coming to the armory mostly. for most of last 3 wonderful children and what do we do with teaching the livelihood of work for families that we've read from. you think showing your south african identity protected she is going to give me was really good why what happened are you going to go look close though most of them are the only little other police in the government doing enough not they given that we're not doing enough i don't know which big name it would be blame the government the government loans or the nobody wants a great big loan the muslims will get a little problem it's not just foreign owned stores that were targeted here you can see a 2nd hand car dealership that was broken into and the cars say to lice now the result
2:12 am
has been an offer by the nigerian foreign ministry for any nigerians living in this country who feel unsafe to be able to fly back home for free this is the worst spate of the violence that south africa has witnessed since 2008 police estimate suggests that some 8 people have been killed and more than 300 have been detained as we say the violence a sad reflection on what where he is and and tenable situation. where you're from the world great to be in south africa for you of course the go the people thought the good will last sunday in no good mood 5 mil the ones you're given to be given the list and how many years you've been in some pretty good ideas to say you south africa you know of course. and now you have no business no move this finish of it is feeling like you compare the cost to him. oh the law over now this shop here which has been completely boarded up was owned by nigerians and
2:13 am
there is no way here to be seen of course they are very afraid the shop is completely solid but this shop too has been looted also owned by nigerians lock on the door completely sealed up the people here definitely afraid that the violence will continue you welded up the shops why they mean the fall of the good and that they take everything that goes with them. and where are all the nigerian owners and the foreign owners all around the world are they thinking to leave the country they wrote your book the world is talk of the great britain would. ever chris winter is at least one flight today leaving at this stage the situation is extremely tenable and stable and i continue being on the streets there's a lot of uncertainty so we need what what will happen remains to be seen r.t.e. johannesburg election spots over a security wall residents of
2:14 am
a jerusalem neighborhood are enraged by an almost 6 meter tall barrier that's being built around the new u.s. embassy there they say it's going to block the view of the area originally the american embassy received a permit to build a wall 3.2 meters high but they also recently then got permission to apparently nearly double that height and that's what's got locals there urging the embassy to hold construction. i'm. very upset i come out my house and i want to be able to see the view over the desert i don't want to look at the big stone here i am already the image i got up one morning and saw them doing demolition and construction work so i asked what was happening and they said they were making the wall higher why would they do that doesn't exist seymour high enough what was the problem the wall now froze entire view from my house that. were very upset we were part of a group of neighbors who were trying to see what can be done to stop this i.
2:15 am
consulted with us. in may last year the united states embassy was relocated to jerusalem after the trump of illustration recognized the city as the capital of israel of course very controversial it's a lot of people the owner of a jerusalem based construction company says that was a blight on the city no. i understand that the american embassy is requested to build a wall 5.8 meters high but the maximum height of a wall in jerusalem according to the authorities is 3.2 meters 5.8 meters is too much and it disregarding the neighbors there are many beautiful houses here in the center of jerusalem and a wall like that would be an eyesore. but we reached out to the israeli authorities get more comment on the story ask them why they've given this permission except for and see what the feedback was we will give you that responses we hear about from them i can tell you now what we've got coming up it's coming up to exactly timers 1st of all be watching the clock as we can it's not exactly 60 minutes past the
2:16 am
hour so changes to a british school uniform policy has sparked protests after the break we'll tell you what's got them under the cover. the gemini that steve globalization came in with trump in 2016 that he the idea of monitor the. banks cooperating to put out a currency unit of account that was better than gold is a 6070 year experiment that is now collapsing which is leading to dollars a synaesthete countries like russia move aggressively away from the dollar and buy gold and.

centuries of chinese history 2 years is nothing unless bird's it's 2 years of donald trump with us another round of terrorists being added to the u.s. trade war this last week china's strategy of waiting out the enemy likely to work with the current american president. to run the world live from moscow this is out international thanks for chiming next in the u.s. military has joined the ranks of fake news fighters we can report the pentagon's research agency darpa says it's seeking to develop automated algorithms that will detect falsified text or doing video that program's going to be able apparently to identify the source of news the alleged intent behind it and the impact if it's

spread our senior correspondent takes a look at the potential pitfalls. it's no secret our farm machinery artificial intelligence have come recently face recognition cameras worldwide battlefields filled with remote control drones i even have it on good authority that siri will soon be able to differentiate between lunch and launch that the forefront of this technological revolution is darpa the pentagon's super secret research arm best known for being mentioned in farfetched headlines they're working on a new program that will be able to differentiate between fake news and real news so long as there's no mention of the word lunch in it the semantic forensic program will develop technologies to automatically detect actual buttes and characterize falsified multi-modal media assets to defending its large scale automated
2:19 am
disinclination attacks. now i know what you're thinking and i agree that it can be difficult to think up new ways to drain the u.s. military's 600000000000 dollar budget but points for creativity on the other hand this may be an honest effort the pentagon out of the goodness of its heart protecting people from this information that is when it isn't spreading fake news itself like when the secretary of defense had to shut down an entire department dedicated to disinform ation and then there was the office of strategic influence you may recall that i went down the next day and said fine if you want to salvage this thing fine i'll give you the corpse there's the name you can have the name but i'm going to keep doing every single thing that needs to be done and i have i also know your next question yes a computer which can shed tell apart whether that's a smile on your face or whether your crying in agony will now tell you what's real
2:20 am
and what's fake scary and probably impossible stanford university recently created an algorithm the tried to separate lies from the truth they said it worked 82 percent of the time and that's putting it kindly possibility of actually detecting fake news from the written word it is possible it is the spoken word it is a prince of words it will be very very difficult because if you do not have. the ability to write grammatically correctly then i imagine this system will then do chanting consistencies and resume it is machine written. and if this machine algorithms would they were used to develop you would have to study each individual area and program thing in
2:21 am
to these algorithms the difference between the northeast of the united states and the size of these states. they're almost different languages let's be honest this is darpa we're talking about the people who wrote off billions trying to create such wonders as an army of virus spreading insects weaponized be robotic elephants and a live polio virus just for the heck of it apparently never cease to amaze when it comes to creative ways to get to the bottom of another multibillion dollar budget and who need stream the unlikely off chance that they succeed well our future could kind this suck and true you can't handle the truth we're against ever see you correspondent there were in the fight against this information is of the cold war of an upcoming book by a former state department official in the obama administration richard stengel is
2:22 am
message is that america is losing the information war against russia and is struggling to control and counteract the false hoods. it's not enough to bustle falsehood is truth the truth does not always win but the scale of russian disinfo mation was beyond what we were capable of responding to or thora tarion governments have gone from fearing the flow of information to exploiting it they understand that the same tools that spread democracy can engineer its undoing let's face it democracies are not very good at combating this information. richard stengel was managing editor of time magazine between 2006 and 13 they're moving on to government work in 2040 and he served as undersecretary of state for public diplomacy affairs for 2 years views on propaganda of change though last year he openly but describing himself as chief propagandist basically every country creates their own narrative story i'm not against propaganda every country
2:23 am
does it and they have to do it to their own population and i don't necessarily think it's that awful. i would say there's a difference between propaganda and us telling people what our policy is so i don't think it was propaganda. you know my old job at the state department was what people used to joke as the chief propaganda is job. janice north a journalist thinks that the u.s. is going to selective approach than to dealing with the truth. americans never lie and even when they lie it's not a lie because somehow it's a it's in pursuit of a higher truth and so are so stengel would never admit to admit to deceit to painting a false portrait remember though the worse the us does terms of foreign policy the greater the dissent from ation that that emanates out of washington the u.s. never changes the u.s. is always consistent always honest always forthright and that anybody who says
2:24 am
anything to the contrary must have it must be spreading disinformation in behalf of russia and one hand yes the us has fears being more openly propaganda stick the other hand when the us does it it's not propaganda it's simply the truth and anything to the contrary is fake information. students at one school in england are protesting the introduction of gender neutral uniforms. i was. was. was the updated outfit of primary school in east sussex bans skirts requires all students to it traverses well people who refused to follow the new rules face being sent home the police were called to calm protests of one $150.00 pupils and their
2:25 am
parents the school defended new uniforms saying this practical all uniform is designed to be a practical influence which encourages students to be ready to focus on their schoolwork and activities we spoke to one of the parents who took part in the protest. i think the reason we're protesting against the uniform change is because the school is being quite disingenuous about the reasons for changing the form it's gone from one reason to another. the issue isn't necessarily about gender need to eat information discriminates against one section of the students being the ghost because they can no longer west it would be like saying old boys need to wear skirts it's a big financial pressure on a lot of parents to provide another school uniform we are in a climate of stereotype parents don't have the money to fund another unnecessary uniform but i think there needs to be better process in dealing with their states to the students who are the parents and come up with a reasonable way to implement the uniform not just back on their initial word and
2:26 am
now say everybody has to wear 26 minutes past 9 here in moscow this morning will be up to this weekend hope your day goes good than your son who is on the profitable 4 year oh relaxing when i was kevin though if we're the rest of the news team here today thanks for watching and reminder that coming up with his latest reductive tonight after this break. this is a sticker from the water bottle phone in the stomach of the fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litterbugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic.

2:28 am
from sure exactly the night is a comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. how the world is sure to operate all right. a certain country or an area tries something and if it works other places do it if it doesn't work you don't do it it's like when you were a kid and you know you saw your brother slide down the banister and rock him self on the newel post. and you thought to yourself maybe that's not for me. that's how our government should work but it's not for profit health care corporate personhood
2:29 am
the drug war etc etc we keep rocking ourselves on the new york post and. try it again. but the reverse should be true also if a city anywhere in the world tries something and it works great we should do it this brings me to the idea of universal basic income. everybody receiving money from our government simply for being a citizen no questions asked i think it's about time we try it and see if it works oh wait it's been tried a 1000000 times and worked a 1000000 times and how do i know that reading. has rudd bregman details in his book utopia for realists u.b.i. has been tried many times in canada and alaska and africa and europe there was a study in britain where 13 men who had lived in the streets for years were given $3000.00 pounds each about $4500.00 at the time did they use it for hundreds of all
