3:01 am
out my house and i want to be able to see the below but i don't want to look at a big stone wall part of a group of neighbors we're trying to see what can be done to stop this. morning just 10 10 am this saturday morning the 7th of september here in moscow very good warning from a kevin and then the rest of the team this is our international i'm here with a 30 minute world news roundup starting with this the u.s. state department confirms attempted to bribe the captain of that iranian oil tanker now called the dream dariya one which is at the center of a diplomatic row in order to detain it the adversary one previously known as grace one there's a name you may recall was held by the u.k. in july in gibraltar it was released in august despite protests from the united states which is increasing pressure on iran it's been heading east since then it
3:02 am
was pinpointed in the eastern mediterranean region but it's tracking device was then switched off that in hawkins reports. 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 a demand from the u.s. to the u.k. . but on 15th of august gibraltar released the vessel it's sail into the mediterranean
3:03 am
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 not true when 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 brian hook i work for secretary of state mike pump a o. and serve as the u.s. 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 while washington after the possibly confuse captain failed to reply a 2nd 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
3:04 am
path life would be much harder for you what lay behind this thinly veiled threat 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 we sanctions 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 to this unusual strategy even adding this was no one off we have conducted extensive outreach to several ship captains as well shipping companies taps and crew more meanwhile is on the u.s. naughty list how differently this story would have ended if only captain kumar had cashed in and just aren't that good news email. and hawkins reporting the midterm u.s. national security advisor john bolton has tweeted that the tanker has now been seen
3:05 am
entering a syrian port to run previously denied that it made any promises about the ship's final destination. 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 and spreading terror. fact that they try to bribe a captain of the tanker and then subsequently threaten them is extraordinary and it should be something that people in the united states. will be kept talking about day and night but there are also out there issues as well bolton wants to intimidate iran and the very fact that he has failed and the right in supertanker is alongside the syrian shore reveals that failure
3:06 am
so he's outraged at another level he wants to make that syrian people suffer as much as possible because that's been u.s. policy for many years now and on that their hand he wants to. prevent iran from carrying out trade with other countries to bullying and threats and illegal behavior so there are multiple reasons for the u.s. behavior towards iran towards syria and toward all independent countries but i think it's only harming the united states in the long run because the united states is increasingly seen as a rogue regime. focused nixon was having those in a phobic riots show no sign of abating in the capital johannesburg foreign owned businesses are being looted as tensions there escalate or monday the country's minister of police describe the situation in the city as a national emergency paula slee is there. you mean shifty in johannesburg which

3:08 am
a global mean for the big dig between them to stand. across the road here is alan who owns a hardware store and when did you ever think that you would see these kind of scenes happening so close to a business own fortune you don't bring some of the forwards enthusiasm. that someone moves through the ins to a chemist secret company or remotely. or most of last through under filled in the room what do we do with it you know livelihood or work for families with. do you think showing your south african identity pretext to you is going to give you this week or the why what happened are you going to go look close the emotional gun law deal little are the police and the government doing enough more given that we're not doing enough or the norwegian government would be lonely government the government alone good morning once you both would learn the lessons would you do the problem it's not just foreign owned stores that were targeted. here you can see
3:09 am
a 2nd hand car dealership that was broken into and the cars say to lice now the result is the human 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 them afore the violence that south africa has witnessed since 2008 police ista mr jay said some 8 people have been killed and more than $300.00 have been detained as we say the violence is a sad reflection of what will be is an tenable situation. where you from the world i do great to be in south africa for you of course to go the people who took the good will also in doing no good for every move of middle literals you're given to be given the list and how many years you can summon to do is to say you south africa you know of course. and now you have no business no move this finish it is true if you compare the cost of families all the more over now
3:10 am
this shop here which has been completely boarded up was owned by nigerians and 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 so people hear differently afraid that the violence will continue you welded up the shops why played with the hollywood and did they take everything. and where all the nigerian owners in the foreign owners all got underway are they thinking to leave the country they wrote your book or do you talk to a great group. ever quest went out today for nigerians in the country who want to be free of charge i able to do so and there 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 on sort. so we meet one what will happen remains to be seen r.t.
3:11 am
johannesburg. next is hauling a neighborly spot over a wall to residents of a jerusalem neighborhood or enraged by an almost 6 metre tall barrier that's being built around the new us embassy there they say it's going to block their view of the area originally the american embassy received a permit to build a wall 3.2 meters high over there also recently there north arise to nearly double that height and the problem started locals are urging the embassy to halt 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 wall here i am already the image i go to 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 for his entire view from my house. were
3:12 am
very upset we were part of a group of neighbors were trying to see what can be done to stop this i. like consulting with us it's going to block our view it's going to drop by and it's going to turn our. way uncomfortable kori door and we don't want to live with that . part of history here may recall in may last year the united states embassy was relocated to jerusalem after temple ministration recognized the city as the capital of israel now the owner of a jerusalem based construction company says this new wall is a blight on the city. understand that the american embassy has requested to build a wall 5.8 meters high but the maximum height in jerusalem according to 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 the wall like that would
3:13 am
be an eyesore. so we reached out to the israeli authorities and planners to comment on the story forget about it as well you know what they're to say about it. now. prosecutors are averse to getting former interior minister material salvini for inciting violence against the german rescue ship captain shiloh do birds got that story. well salvini is facing this libel case where he's being accused of inciting violence against a cap in this is a captain of a charity rescue ship in the mediterranean karolyn a racket a german citizen now back in july she had rescued 53 migrants in the mediterranean and tried to dock ship this was the sea what 3 on a tally and saw she was told no you can't do that that was one of the policies that matteo so binnie had when he was interior minister of italy and she then continued to try and dock that boat in doing so she actually rammed into
3:14 am
a buddha control vessel and she was later arrested for that now salvini at the time accused captain rocket of trying to sink that patrol boat and actually had cues to her of an act of war she was later released then put on the house arrest and later court said that she hadn't done anything illegal although she does still face charges. of helping illegal immigration now salvini during that whole incident discussed it on twitter he said things that the captain was a criminal that she was a delinquent that the poor woman had tried to kill 5 italian soldiers and this is why he is now facing this prosecution but salvini says he stands by everything that he said denounced by a german communist that drastic of immigrants ram to finance god's patrol boat it's a model for me i'll never give up. well it's
3:15 am
a nice former interior minister former deputy prime minister. is one of the country's most popular politicians riding high in the polls mainly due to his anti immigration stance and the fact that he closed ports to illegal immigrants while he was in that position now the current coalition which is the make up of the 5 star movement and the left wing democratic party is said to be a coalition that's kind of come together to form something out of nothing and as a result many people on tenterhooks at that government itself could collapse in the coming months if not the coming years but certainly many people expecting that before italy's next scheduled election as a result of that the popularity of materials salvini is seen as being a thorn in the side of the current administration so you can imagine that they are certainly rubbing their hands in glee at any attempts to neutralize matea salvini and neutralize the popularity. of the more your last couple of term 16 infer we're
3:16 am
going to head this changes to a british schools uniform policy sparked protests will tell you what's got people hot under the collar. compared to centuries of chinese history 2 years is nothing unless perhaps it's 2 years of donald trump with years another round of terrorist 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. nor make manufacture. public wealth. when the ruling classes. project himself.
3:17 am
nor middle of the room sick. again good morning as the u.s. military has joined the ranks of fake news fighters now we can report the pentagon's research agency darpa says it's seeking to develop automated algorithms that will detect falsified text audio and video the program will be able to identify the source of news the alleged intent behind it and the impact if it spread to senior correspondent we're goes to take
3:18 am
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 large 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 disintegration of tykes now i know what you're thinking and i agree that it can be
3:19 am
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 is 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 and what's fake scary and probably impossible stanford university recently created
3:20 am
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 very possibility of actually detecting fake news from the written word it is possible if it is the spoken word if it is the prince it will it will be very very difficult because if you do not have. the ability to write grammatically correctly. i imagine this system will then detecting consistencies and presume it is machine written and these machine algorithms would they would take years to develop you would have to study each individual area and program everything in to these algorithms the difference between the northeast of
3:21 am
the united states and the size of these 2 united states. they're almost different languages let's be honest this is darpa we're talking about the people who wrote off beat me and trying to create such wonders is an army of virus spreading insects weaponized be robotic elephants and a live polio virus just for the heck of it badly 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 while our future could kindness suck and truth you can't handle the truth. you're watching out international just keep an eye on that red pop up there's some breaking news about potential prisoner swap to ukraine and russia get to the more details i mean as more details come through but next the fight against this information is at the
3:22 am
core of an upcoming book falling on from our reporters those saw from a former state department official in the obama administration which is staying goals message is that america is losing the information war against russia and is struggling to control and counteract the full serves it's not enough to bus or falsehood because truth the truth does not always win with 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 it's undoing let's face it democracies are not very good at combat in this information about ground about richard stengel he was managing editor at time magazine between 2006 and 13 that he moved on to government work in 2014 he served as undersecretary of state for public diplomacy in affairs for 2 years stengel views on propaganda of change last year he openly backed it describing himself as chief propagandist no less basically every country creates their own narrative story
3:23 am
i'm not against propaganda every country does it and they have to do it to their own population and i don't necessarily think it's about aphex. 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 your listener often thinks that the u.s. has a selective approach that to dealing with the truth. americans never a 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.
3:24 am
never changes the u.s. is always consistent always honest always forthright and that anybody who says anything to the contrary must sound how it must be spreading dissent from ation in behalf of russia and one hand yes the us is fear is 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. suited to school in england are protesting the production of gender neutral uniforms. i. think thank god. it wasn't on their one and all quarters you can see the updated front of primary school in east sussex bans and requires all students with trousers now seems people
3:25 am
who refuse to follow the new rules will be sent home police were called to come protests of $150.00 pupils and their parents the school defended the new uniform though saying simply it's practical all uniform is designed to be a practical influence which encourages students to be ready to focus on their schoolwork and activities so we spoke to one of the parents who took part of 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 gently too easy for me it's discriminating against one section of the students being the ghost because they can no longer wear skirts it would be like saying all the boys need to wear skirts it's a big financial pressure on a lot of parents to provide another school uniform. climate austerity parents don't have the money to fund another unnecessary uniform but i think there needs to be
3:26 am
better process in dealing with this they need to talk to students who are the parents and come up with a reasonable way to implement the reforms not just go back on their initial word and now say everybody has to wear it. on the button just a bit more about our breaking news in the red tick of the speculation row for weeks around of course a prisoner swap may be between russia and ukraine a substantial one and it appears to be happening now although so far there's no official statement of confirmation from either side or who might be involved in it because these pictures to show you buses leaving before to vote prison in moscow where it's believed the ukrainian detainees were held number or no thought ukrainian sailors might be among those being swapped again number one know one of their lawyers said that they had been transferred to a moscow airport now we think people how long that russia arrested 24 sailors you may recall back in november last year just off the crimean straight for violating its maritime border. in ukraine we're also hearing buses we've detained russians
