8:02 am
a suspect and we'll be bringing you more updates as they come in. turkey's president and one has arrived in russia's black sea resort city of sochi for talks with his russian counterpart vladimir putin the hole to turkish offensive against syrian kurdish forces will top the agenda has warned it will resume imminently if the u.s. fails to keep its promises that 5 day cease fire brokered by washington and today they are trying to house more from such a. the current level of trust between the leaders of turkey and russian just how well and grog gets along with moscow nowadays means that at this point the presidents of russia and turkey could find common ground on just about anything even though technically with the syria crisis it could be fair to say that moscow and ankara are on the their friends side of the barricade when the one came to see
8:03 am
vladimir putin here in saatchi the russian president was confident that their friendship will help. the situation in the region is very delicate we all understand i think governments in today's necessary given the level attained by russian relations i hope we can play room resolving the difficult questions that have a reason this will be in the interest of turkey russia and all the countries of the region so what we heard was not many details no criticism at all just trust and respect and readiness for a very frank discussion hopefully more will be revealed at the press conference because everyone again who's somehow involved in this big chess game and north east syria is waiting for news to come out of a lot of our putin's saw residence and in fact it could be even more complicated than chess because there are way more than 2 players just think about everything
8:04 am
that happened before top aired on came to see vladimir putin earlier this month turkey one to war with the kurds in northern syria who by the way for years were fighting islamic state in that country side by side with american forces but then also earlier this month we remember that the american president donald trump said that his soldiers should get out of there and that left the kurds face to face with the might of the turkish army would. is also a nato member and now just take a listen to one of donald trump's very latest statement on that crisis situation working with the kurds to be a good relationship with us but we don't. you know protect the courage we spoke with them for 4 years we were going to protect the kurds for the rest of it but the kurdish forces weren't alone for a very long time because the managed to hammer out a surprise
8:05 am
a lot with the damascus government of bashar assad which is obviously backed by russia and by the way as i've said moscow has so far refrain from any strong statements or moves in response to what turkey has been up to like the officials in america for example take one of the latest remarks by u.s. secretary of state mike who said that the u.s. is ready for any moves including military action if the situation requires this now this is rare because the question is whether they're actually right the 2 somehow go against a nato ally on the other hand we do have to remember that it was the vice president who convinced the turkish president type aired on to announce the 120 hour ceasefire with the kurds and guess when that expires tonight but it will happen after the presidents of russia and turkey talk so let's wait for what they
8:06 am
decide and what they share with us journalists. the unrest in barcelona shows no signs of dying down pro independence demonstrations are into their 2nd week with rioters targeting police again last night amid the violence police vehicles were vandalized and protesters also stood outside of a government building they want madrid to open talks and say they will not back down. has become. together young and old people right and left wing oh people are outraged we're going to be out in the streets every day we have been protesting peacefully for a lot of years and no one heard those the only things we get from the government is beatings and disparagement what people have had enough we've reached operating about protesters also booed the spanish prime minister during his visit to barcelona on monday sanchez spoke to injured police officers who are in the
8:07 am
hospital but refused to meet with the president of the local government but did a question about looks at how the latest protests unfolded. thank you. battleground to barcelona for days or rather nights the city has been reliving the same scenario from a peaceful march to violence in the flesh of a stun grenade. spare hatting the end rasterize these guys they aren't hiding from the cameras quite the opposite they're waving flags and dancing they're not the main force though think of them as cheerleaders but these guys while they are the real deal they hide their faces behind masks and ballack lavish their ruthless and violent their armed to whetstone spit transfer unaids anything they can use to wreak as much havoc as possible their
8:08 am
main focus of the police. thank. and police are facing a difficult task every night they put themselves on the line every night as like a battlefield. and it is necessary to distinguish the 2 types of protesters the 1st ones are just demonstrators and their nonviolent but there's a group of youngsters. who trigger all these violent incidents that we all saw in the photos is this relentless security these violent protesters use dangerous work and they threw molotov cocktails and bottles with acid at us it is a new situation for us we haven't faced this on such a level before so yes we feel threatened both spanish and catalan authorities confirm that there are radical elements that hijacked the protests you could have
8:09 am
them into the bin and the i think that the independence movement sciences has always been peaceful democratic a nonviolent and it is demonstrating that yes radical groups which we've condemned have created some scenes which we've disliked enormously and which we reject and we condemn. you know police should know that they have the backing of citizens because the guarantor some of the most brushes which is the defense of public it's a sensible rights so thank you for your work and thank you for containment in the face of big strew. while thousands of barcelona citizens marching afrin night condemned the recenter violence and even try to support the local police forces this is how the building of barcelona pity's headquarters looks like at this moment and the citizens of the city continue to bring clown worse at the gate and a show of support for the work they have been doing for the past days are fun rest
8:10 am
and some have even taking it further and put up posters on the walls which state clearly thank you just because of most i also support the catalan police and i want to say the majority of police support the constitution. i as a kid to learn spanish citizen you want to see think you just police well there were. loads of friends who work for the police and i support them so far the radicals have free frayne from calling for a direct assault on police like in hong kong but with such overwhelming support hope pretty will never come to that question r.t. reporting from barcelona. north macedonia has called for early elections after a setback in its bid to become a member of the european union that's despite the balkan country meeting the conditions laid down for its mission the entry talks along with 5 other balkan states were blocked by france president emanuel said the e.u.
8:11 am
needed to reform before expanding although that decision was criticised by other leaders the outgoing european commission boss said it was a historic error taylor has more. power us the city of love unless you're more for us i don't know which has just been dumped by president not crawl the balkan countries been dealt a bit of a blow off the e.u. said no twits joining its club and like any wrong it's the e.u. is going to look back with regrets surely a great injustice was inflicted on us in brussels the european union did not deliver on its promise i'm disappointed and angry but what makes this rejection all the more painful is that northwestern has been gunning to be brought into the fold for a long time and has made several significant sacrifices to that end all and it's worth
8:12 am
mentioning by the e.u. itself for example just over 10 years ago it officially recognized kosovo off to the last declaration of independence from sabia precisely because it's the position of both nato and the e.u. but perhaps the biggest compromise it made was when it changed its very identity to brussels e.u. member state greece has an ancient region called macedonia and was a bit miffed that just across the border another country was using the very same name taking the high road muster don't you decide to lay the historical dispute to bed. itself with the e.u. by adding north before it simple but brussels was playing hard to get over all the muck or was off to 7 hours of wrangling behind closed doors the french president vetoed opening talks on the issue the only one of $28.00 members to do so and he used the classic it's not you it's me phrase before we decide to enlarge
8:13 am
the e.u. we need to reform ourselves the fool is potentially significant prime ministers i was calling for a snap election ready but more crucially given its violent i'm troubled part. asked there are now concerns whether this decision will jeopardize peace in the region this is not a moment of glory for the e.u. to refuse acknowledgement of proven progress will have negative consequences including the risk of destabilisation of the western balkans with full impact on the e.u. but that like any decent job to his just not quite ready to close the door on his love interest well ladies and gentlemen i introduce this to donald but i would like to send a message. to load to give. i fully understand your frustration. because she did your show. we have
8:14 am
so also not lost joining the e.u. is still in the future of milf must. but while brussels what some itself may be the balkan country should ask the question what anything at the do be good enough for there is pure crap in brussels. altie paris. u.k. charity is demanding the government comes to the rescue of young children born to arsenal fighters a british origin and had urged the authorities to make use of the current cease fire in northeast syria between turkey and the kurds. we have an opportunity in the next few days to repatriate them to bring them back home these are children in 85 percent of them across these camps are under 12 more than nearly half toddlers so they are not they are innocent children they are not responsible for the crimes that their parents have committed and we need to separate. save the children says
8:15 am
16 u.k. children are now trapped in the region figure is twice that previously reported and many are thought to be under 5 years old however the u.k. foreign secretary has said that britain will only help those who are orphans. in relation to minors unaccompanied minors or orphans i can tell you that assuming that they would represent no security threats we would be willing to see them return home if that can be done in a safe way given the situation on the ground earlier neil harvey discussed the issue with a former head of counterterrorism in the u.k. and also with the secretary general of the european muslim league. well of course as children they are completely innocent and almost certainly they don't at this moment pose any threat i think the difficulty comes with those that are with their parents who have made the deliberate choice to go to these places and are potentially really very dangerous themselves i disagree britain's position.
8:16 am
citizenship i think that is totally rabbits' the actions written cup dictate not. right. and i think those should be restored we haven't brilliantly the system if those parents have committed to fans this let's put them through as a colt's i do think as was mentioned before we've got some brilliant legal system that's going to protect the public well it just won't do that there is not going to be enough evidence to deal with the with the parents there's not going to be enough evidence because the people that have witnessed atrocities are going to be dead in iraq and syria so let's be honest we're we're going to we're going to know very little about some of these people actually whether they are kids from british parents is another part of this we have to be careful because it's ok same we should bring these people back book actually would you like them living next door
8:17 am
to you know you probably wouldn't do and i think we need to make sure that we've got the systems in place and the lock up those people for as long as we possibly can that are a danger to us but the children of course should be treated differently and should be given every. chance to to get themselves back into civilized society if one is more complicated maybe one parent is still alive or both parents of the so-called i sold child what do you do did you bring these children back and say you deserve a better life or do you just leave them to their fate no you can't leave miller well certain. you know especially in that area because they would be in danger of being radicalized let's bring them home cook them to counseling give them the back up in the cab that they need let's be quite clear there that if these people do come back the vast majority if not all of them will not go through the court system they will be released into society some of them will be very very dangerous and in
8:18 am
fact some of these children we call in them children depending on your a you know what you consider a child their age range but some of them will be very dangerous that this is bringing back problems i do have concerns but i also realize that pastor sponsor both peace and we have no problems on the rest of the words we don't know how secure those holding facilities are. you know we britain must take responsibility and it is not doing not at the moment as real dangers wherever these people end up because they all radicalize most of the youngsters will have been through some kind of radicalization pace they are going to be very dangerous and it's all very well us bringing them back but some of our live next door to them and someone may well end up dying as a result of one of these people coming back. still to come farmers across europe
8:19 am
are unhappy with the latest agricultural plans saying they endanger a family run businesses that's where and war after the break. what holds and to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to be. too great for us to work with the 3 of them or a good. i'm interested always in the why. should. you know world a big part of truth. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we
8:20 am
need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth and the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back facebook is going to flag state run media accounts on its platform as part of a bid to protect elections from foreign interference the social network is also planning to combat an authentic behavior and make political ads more transparent next month will begin labeling media outlets that are wholly a partially on the lead to tell real control of the government to state controlled
8:21 am
media. actually they goes down and joins us live in the studio with the details so what's behind all this well jacki the cause the justification from mark zuckerberg is noble as usual they're saying that they have a responsibility to stop abuse and election interfering we all remember how he had to appear in front of congress and explain himself and how he was compared to a robot on social media for drinking for drinking water during the hearing and so on and so forth so he is apparently trying to protect himself from a repetition of that and he is saying that in 2020 some actors my try to use facebook his platform to influence the u.s. election but facebook comes with volumes of terms and services agreement and this statement by zuckerberg is a little bit like that because it's not all elections that facebook is going to well protected if i may say so. it will be focused on the u.s.
8:22 am
elections on the 2020 american elections presidential elections alone and this is the 1st but not the only catch and what measures are going to be put into play to carry this out well again as you've already mentioned 1st and foremost of their saying that they are going to combat in authentic behavior in other words bots. over the last 3 years we worked identify new and emerging threats and remove coordinated inauthentic behavior across all apps as part of our effort to counter foreign influence complaints this morning we removed 4 separate networks of accounts pages and groups and facebook and instagram for engaging in coordinated and authentic behavior 3 of them originated in the round and one in russian. this is the interesting point the one in russia because they want to russia he's talking about is the russia beyond the page and that page was as political as you can think of as you can think of it because it was all it was doing is posting
8:23 am
recipes of russian cuisine and i mean talking about in authentic behavior what's more authentic than a russian posting a recipe for borscht or something like that well also they will be labeling state controlled media media on their pages so there will be saying there will be like for instance to this page that it is funded by a government. we want to help people better understand the sources of news content they see on facebook so they can make informed decisions about what they're reading . so also again facebook will be labeling all those pages but there are some questions over whether or not mark zuckerberg understands where whether or not he has a clear understanding what is he what is a foreign controlled or a foreign funded media outlet and because have a listen to this to this statement by mark. in the u.s.
8:24 am
we have the benefit of a free press and because of that we think it's especially important to call the media coming from any country around the world is acting as an organ of the government and no the free press so it is obvious he of course is an tagon izing of the free press to the you to the media controlled by or funded by a foreign government but i mean there's a there's such a thing as the u.s. agency for global mean media for formerly known as the b b g it's a you as an american government body that funds a plethora of media outlets with such well with the staples of being the voice of america radio free europe radio liberty so there's plenty of outlets that the u.s. government itself is funding and so the big question is will the voice of america be branded as a foreign government as a government funded outlet will the b.b.c. that enjoys much of its revenue much of its revenue comes from the tax payers money
8:25 am
will the b.b.c. be branded as a foreign government funded media outlet and so on and so forth so there's still plenty of questions and hopefully facebook will clarify some of the some of the nuances and cabinets that it that it has or if not we'll see for ourselves next week or next month we can only wait and see r.t.c. goes on a breaking down those new rules for us thank you. farmers'. cross europe are venting their anger at the news agricultural policy is claiming these and dangerous smaller family run farms in the french city of strasburg farmers descended on the european parliament and over in germany and number of cities joined in with thousands in bonn staging a ministry building in berlin and you veritable army of tractors and took over the streets as a boundless absence reports. german farmers got on their tractors on tuesday and drove from nearby brenda bourke to berlin protesting against governments recent our
8:26 am
cultural policies about 1000 of those with 300 tractors flooded the streets of berlin in order to protest against the recent government policies german farmers are calling out their government for not including them into the recent our cultural policies that have been proposed in september the government is planning to reduce troop levels in groundwater because they have been pressured from the european union because of exceeding those levels but in germany it's mainly because of the life stock among others the government is planning to completely banned a week killer by the end of 2023. but many german farmers are still coping with the excess amount of nitrogen from the past they believe that the government policies will endanger their family on farms something that they work so hard to earn your supposed to do to 70 cities in germany say the hamburger you had over st george had the largest one and bond with 10000 people participating in one of
8:27 am

8:30 am
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 they do it by the types of posts they allow.
