you're watching are to international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. turkey's president is in russia's black sea resort city of sochi where he's holding talks with lot of mir putin which have now stretched on for 4 hours earlier a kremlin spokesperson or in the media making any exaggerated forecasts hinting that the talks were expected to be tough despite the situation in syria casting a cloud over their agenda the president seemed in high spirits when they greeted each other. but you. believe that there was going to. be going to be possible to. be to change. the turkish offensive against kurdish forces in syria of course forms the center of their talks president and one has warned it will resume imminently if the u.s. fails to keep its promises as

a 5 day cease fire brokered by washington and at 10 pm local time it would be trying to house more from such you. the current level of trust between the leaders of turkey and russia just how well and grog gets along with moscow nowadays means that at this point the presidents of russia and turkey could fall in common ground on just about anything even though technically with the northeast syria crisis it could be fair to say that moscow and ankara are on the different sides of the barricades when no one came to see vladimir putin here in tsotsi the russian president was confident that their friendship will help. the situation in the region is very delicate we all understand i think is necessary given the level attained by russian relations i hope we can play a role in resolving the difficult questions that have arisen this will be in the interests of turkey russia and all the countries of the region. in fact it could be

even more complicated than chess because there are way more than 2 players just think about everything that happened before top aired on came to see vladimir putin earlier this month turkey ones 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 which is also a nato member now just take a listen to one of donald trump's very latest statement on that crisis situation with the christmas going to relationship with us and we've never agreed to you know protect a current response with them for 4 years we never agreed to protect the kurds for the rest of us but the kurdish forces weren't alone for

a very long time because they managed to hammer out a surprise alliance 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 were framed for many strong statements or moves in response to what turkey has been up to unlike 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 so. how 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 toy dared to want to announce the 120 hour cease fire 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 decide and what they share with us journalists. after facing repeated accusations that he betrayed the kurds in syria the us president seems to be shifting to a strategy where he's on more comfortable ground business president trump has announced he's thinking of leaving some troops in syria although not for the benefit of america's former allies. i don't want to leave there it's very dangerous there you have an army and both of those of those troops would have been well. i don't think it's. necessary to secure the oil region where we've been asked by israel and jordan to only a small number of troops is a totally different situation of syria so we have a small group there and we've secured a few of the there's no reason for. as trump puts it himself he is there to stop

and list wars in the middle east the us leader said he was against america going into iraq but since they were there it was worth keeping the oil and despite all the means linking the us invasions to oil refineries u.s. military officials claims there's a far more serious strategy behind it. we have troops in towns in south in northeast syria that are located next to the oil fields the troops in those towns are not in the present phase of with troll the purpose of those forces a purpose of those forces working with the s.d.f. is to deny access to those oil fields by isis and others who may benefit from their revenues it could be. live now to dr mom to a solemn a international oil economist not trump says he will protect oil in syria by leaving some u.s. forces there are you surprised by that at all. yes i am the and i think it's should not be in see it in the 1st place and they are occupying hsien

oil fields at a time when the us of preventing other countries from supper lying oil to see if the united states is acting like a judge and jury un it comes to the only if he is owed syria further than a mora president from the doesn't realize that the c.d.n. codes have struck a deal with the c n n government legitimate the government of syria and sooner or later because they control the oil fields and that are many come protection they will have to transfer them to the sea and so the syrians will eventually get their oil fields and will be getting more of self selfish and in their needs rather than importing oil from iran and other countries when it comes to the kurds trump also

said he would work something out with them so they can have some cash flow do you think the kurds will be satisfied by that. i don't think if you left them to their . of the emergency of the 3rd if you shot of me he would do i may think his policy . in syria is mumbled he is muddled about the gilles graph here of syria because he has been talking about contador over the middle east oil when the oil fields in syria are in a drop in the ocean of the middle east oil he is trying to say that he will bring a company was probably at a. company to deal with the production of oil in the fields give a bit of income to the accords but i am sure that he would use the bulk of it to

fund the deployment of the abacha troops in the city and the oil is not is to behave in this way it would be loads to see any and its people the internet is full of jokes linking america's invasions to oil refineries in the middle east how much truth is there to those jokes. well beric it claims that it controls middle east oil. actually it doesn't it controls the governments which have the oil in the end a.b.m. pet is and it controls the routes through which oil is ship like this threat of saddam was and other restraints. like the street as well so in that case he is or trying to demand money from the oil producers of the gulf in return for protecting the oil but

there is a global balance of power shift américa america's influence is declining even the allies of the united states like saudi arabia don't trust the americans because they will squeeze you in like 11 get all huge juices and throw you away when it is when it suits them they have done it with the accords and they have done it everywhere they dealt with that our lives sooner or later they will be out of the middle east because they. have power emerging and i can mention here that the president putin and to saudi arabia and to the united arab emirates source successful that

it is part of this embarrassing. shift in the balance of power power from the united states to the strategic alliance between russia and china dr mom do salomé international oil economist thank you for joining us on the program this evening. then. facebook is going to flag state run media accounts on its platform as part of a bid to protect elections from foreign interference a social network is also planning to come about in the authentic behavior and make political ads more transparent. enough has more. it all comes from the best of intentions it seems sweep away trolls and other unholy creatures from under the facebook bridge except will team phase will really be able to tell right from wrong in the u.s. 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 not the free press mark zuckerberg is clearly implying that the free american media on the one hand and government funded propaganda produces on the other what he forgets though is that the us has a whole governmental body with the millions of dollars in its coffers tasked with exactly that funding the major voice of america radio free europe the middle east broadcasting networks are just some of the outlets right there in the pocket of the u.s. agency for global media or as it was formerly and more well known in the b.b. gene facebook intentionally or not doesn't seem too eager to look at them this way and controversy doesn't end there these social network has never shied away from censoring what gets into your feed and what doesn't and it can really boast a sharpshooter's track record with this have you ever had borsch the soup if not

you should because it's great and if yes you might be a victim of russian deception at least according to facebook it recently banned a page with something 40000 subscribers that was posting recipes of the russian institution i don't know what's more authentic than a russian posting about how to make beef stroganoff and yet facebook deems itself worthy of calling out in authentic behavior over the last 3 years we worked identify new and emerging threats and remove coordinated in authentic behavior across our apps as part of our effort to counter foreign influence complaints this morning were removed for 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. so one phrasebook makes a statement like this 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 it seems the network itself needs some help understanding what's going on on its pages. we're joined live now by social media lawyer and author year cohen for more on this now facebook's new measures are designed to protect the u.s. 2020 election in particular does that mean all of facebook's efforts to fight misinformation will be limited solely to the process in america. mr cohen can you hear me. i apologize we do seem to have lost our connection with our guests will come back to later if we can. now the unrest in barcelona shows no signs of easing independence demonstrations are into their 2nd week with riders targeting police again last night amid the

violence police vehicles were banned allies and protesters also demonstrated outside a government building they want madrid to open talks on calumnious future and say they will not back down. everyone has become a rebel everyone in catalonia is together young and old people right wing left wing old people outraged we're going to be out on the streets every day we have been protesting peacefully for a lot of years and no one has the only thing that we get from the government is beatings and disparagement people have had enough we've reached our breaking point for protesters also booed at the spanish prime minister on his visit to barcelona on monday sanchez spoke to injured officers in the hospital but he refused to meet with the president of the local government funded a question that looks at how the latest protests unfolded.

battleground 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 raster these guys there 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 well they are the real deal they hide their faces behind masks and ballack lavish their ruthless and violent their arm to stone spit transfer unaids anything they can use to wreak as much havoc as possible their main focus of the police. and police are facing a difficult task and every night they put themselves on the line every night as

like a battlefield. it is necessary to distinguish the 2 types of protesters the 1st ones are just demonstrators and they're nonviolent but there's a group of youngsters who trigger all these violent incidents that we all saw in the photos just as 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 their way 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 guarantors 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 screw mists provocations. while thousands of barcelona citizens marching affray night condemned the recent 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 continued to bring flowers at the gate and a show of support for the work they have been doing for the past days to find rest and some have even taking it further and put up posters on the wall. else which state clearly thank you is that one of those i also support the catalan police and i want to say the majority of police support the constitution. that i as

a catalan and spanish citizen want to say thank you joy all police call their work in a bus that will not have a lot of friends who work for the police and i support them so far the radicals have refrained from calling for a direct assault on police like in hong kong but with such overwhelming support hopefully it will never come to that i do not question the r.t. reporting from barcelona. farmers across europe are unhappy with the e.u.'s latest agricultural plans saying they endanger family run businesses more on that after the break. so there is no variety in any of the characters that make up global violence anymore everything is that 00 is is predominate every single conversation that

comes out of the mouth of every financial writer in the press and on television is 0 every security is now based on the 0 and the entire mix of this phantasmagoria global finance is is all blending together into one huge void worthless. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.

welcome back north macedonia has called early elections after a setback in its bid to become an e.u. member that's despite the country apparently meeting the conditions laid down the entry talks along with 5 other balkan states were blocked by france present emanuel necron said the e.u. needed to reform before expanding although bad decision was criticised by others the outgoing european commission boss said it was an historic error artie's tosca taylor has more. powerless the city of love unless you move faster during a which has just been dumped by president not crawl the balkan countries been dealt a bit blow off the e.u. said no it 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 projection 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 date at all and it's worth 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 under great shape 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 members to do so and he used the classic it's not you it's me phrase before we decide to enlarge 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. asked there 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 jump to his just not quite ready to close the door on his love interest well ladies and gentlemen i introduce this to donald. i would like to

send a message. to load to give. i fully understand your frustration. because she did your show. we haven't so also not lost joining the e.u. is still in the future of north macedonia but while brussels what's on itself may be the balkan country should ask the question what anything have to do be good enough for those bureaucrats in brussels. altie paris. and also police have arrested an armed man after he hijacked an ambulance and rammed it into pedestrians no deaths have been reported although a number of people were injured including at least 2 children police reportedly opened fire on the ambulance during a pursuit the suspect was injured and apprehended it's unclear at this stage whether the incident is being investigated as

a terror attack or if the hijacker had any accomplices local residents have been recounting how the unfolded video agency. yes the noise frightened by force. behind me outside was it's going. to feel. like i mean yeah of course because my door close to the school has been torn there's 2 that going forward didn't know what to do but the thing to put is to do a great job with the 2nd few minutes of the song which. would put these. farmers across europe are venting their anger at the ease agricultural policies claiming they endanger smaller family run businesses in the french city of strasbourg farmers descended on the european parliament or in germany a number of cities joined the protests with thousands and beyond surrounding

a ministry building on berlin an army of tractors took over the streets as a bouncer subsists reports. german farmers got on their tractors on tuesday and drove from nearby brown to bourke to berlin they believe that the government policies will endanger their family or one farms something that they worked so hard to earn their focus due to 70 cities and germany say they have been hamburg and unix and hanover should start and the largest one and bond with 10000 people participating in front of germany's are a cultural headquarters the farmers are calling out to government from not including them into the recent policymaking of the arche cultural policies they have done since september they feel but they are left out in any decisions they are made the government is proposing to reduce nitride levels in the groundwater because they have been pressured by the european union germany has exceeded those

levels mainly because of life stock in the country among other things the government said that there will be reducing wheat killers in germany by 2023. that's a global news wrap up for now thanks for tuning in. show something seemed wrong why don't we all just don't hold. anything that is yet to shape out these days because the educated and in games from it equals the trail. went something find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also a very dark so. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very 1st character that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results diced on what they think you should be see if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election doesn't exist for the more growth we give them the sooner we are all hand .

but if you're walking around manhattan and your old in times square area or bryant park what you'll notice is that there is a huge amount of shopping here and a lot of i mean it's way more than last year for example it seems like more boom time right now and consumers spending more perhaps money that they don't have but nevertheless they are out here spending well it's all a function of the stock market you know the stock market's up by trillions of dollars and a lot of there are millions and millions of millionaires in america and around the world of course a lot of tourists are here and tourists from other countries were millionaires have been making millions and millions of dollars trillions of dollars based on the boom in stocks and bonds and they come here and they spend it because this is a great place to spend your money but the millionaire class in the billionaire class has been exploding to the upside and they've got a lot of dosh even there we were saying at this hotel near bryant park and to.
