the. function as a form of information wolf has iran's fox news agency says its international website is shot down on the orders of the us treasury. told to go into hiding amid a furious debate on free speech a teenage french call received death threats over on to some videos and social media we discussed whether there should be a line between hatred on. the british prime minister gives a warning over carbon emissions out the u.k. africa summit last striking energy deals that are almost entirely centered around fossil fuels. and the table bunnings that he's biggest party ahead of a key poll in the north of the country this sunday the anti establishment 5 star

movement has seen a major shift following its leaders resignation. 27 live from the russian capital this is all too international where if you are in the wild and steals. lots of stories let's get stuck in following a recent trend against iranian media far as the news agency says its international website has been taken down after apparently forming foul of u.s. sanctions it comes as tensions continue to build between the 2 countries and it seems the u.s. treasury department had a major role to play. the photos news dot com websites is being blocked on us treasuries orders and emails sent to followers newsagency by the provider clearly stated that the treasury's office of foreign assets control as i do the agency to the s d n specially designated nationals list if you visit the website fars news dot com it

is unavailable the web page does not load now it's important to know there is a website fars news dot i r that i are standing for islamic republic that has just been created but that is only in farsi the language of iran not other languages even though far as news generally publishes in different languages those are not available fars news calls itself an independent news source generally it has been labelled by western media outlets as being a mouthpiece for the iranian government it's one of the primary sources for breaking news within the borders of the islamic republic the fact that it has been taken down and does not appear to have its website up and is blaming this on the us treasury seems to fit it on standing a long standing pattern for example earlier this month press t.v. the english language t.v. network based in the islamic republic of iran was removed from you tube however google backed down from that decision but regardless that was

a moment where we saw a news outlet from iran have its access to the internet and social media cut off or tampered with now we can recall in recent months the escalation between the 2 countries qassam solomonic the top iranian general was killed in a u.s. airstrike near baghdad the iraqi capital and then we saw iran respond with a barrage of missiles directed at u.s. bases in iraq this feud between the leaders of the usa and the islamic republic of iran wasn't even put on hold during the whole cost commemorations in jerusalem take a listen we must also stand strong against the leading state purveyor of anti-semitism. against the one government in the world that denies. the holocaust as a matter of state policy and threatens to wipe israel off the map against the islamic republic of iran. now sanctions have been imposed on the islamic republic by the united states and there has been constant threats of military action and it seems

that this effort to silence news agencies and remove them from social media and from the internet itself fits into a longstanding pattern of efforts by leaders of the united states to covertly undermine the islamic republic of iran we had from the editor in chief of fox news agency english fashion he explained how ordinary people are reacting to washington's pressure on the country. that journalists and reporters there were really antagonized i mean they were feeling lots of hatred for the and that is states because we are not men a war we are not you know male of fairies we are not state officials you know fox news agency was established back in 2002 or 3 and it's the 1st iranian none the state news agency so it's not even as they run media people here are feeling the brunt of the united states hostile actions it's not just the reporters

and journalists but also average citizens trump has done a lot of good to iran i believe because he has been the one that has shown that all these slogans and chance that they have about democracy human rights and so on so forth are for nothing and they are hollow and when the time arrives they see no difference between softball or fair media warfare or military wofford they just as an 8 anyone standing on their way. and now some european news a 16 year old front has been told to go into hiding after she received death threats for posting anti islamic videos on instagram mina who is from leone said she was responding to homophobic on racist abuse from muslims on the platform police are now investigating the case the viral posting spread on social media networks of a video posted by a young girl expressing during

a personal discussion violin and host our comments about the muslim religion has provoked a multiplication of reactions to in the form of death threats and threats to commit crimes under french law which guarantees freedom of expression mean a could argue she was just given how views on islam the incident though has gone into widespread attention and even support from some politicians. the speech of this young girl is the voice description of charlus caricatures no more no less who can find a vulgar but we cannot accept that some people condemn her to death for that in france in the 21st century let us support me look a 16 year old high school student insults and threats and with death by thousands of fanatics for having given her opinion on islam we decide to get some reaction to this story from us here should jar his chair of the islamic human rights commission as one of the country walker who is a columnist for the new york observer. my concern is that time and time again we're

seeing blasphemy laws reinstituted across europe remember back in the middle ages europe was plagued by blustery laws inflicted by the christian community and i think that we've got a lot better as a society since they disappeared against blasphemy law blasphemy is is something a very christian sort of centric concept and it's got no room in between islam in the slam we actually encourage any sort of criticism the idea that insulting the prophet mohammed should be something you should die for is completely unacceptable and always remember you or it got better when we walked away from these blasphemy rules ourselves and i think it would be great if the islamic world was to follow that example. you know at least i don't know i don't know i don't know why you keep on. blasphemy laws no one is actually talking about bringing in blasphemy laws we are saying that you should not be able to abuse muslims under the

pretense that this is. well look what you've just laid out it should be it should be patent to be abusive towards islam even if that stress to pursue congratulations you're describing a blasphemy law and that is something that we need to get away from let's sit down around the cup of tea let us criticize one another's beef but respect one another and i don't see why this should be confusing for anyone but there is a problem with fundamentalism in our society and most of fundamentalists of muslims they're not all muslims but most of them are eastern attempt to say that in practice you can criticize as are you cults insult the prophet muhammad you can't be critical of the views that he expressed that is something that is dangerous for our society i'm not saying that you can criticize islam and say go ahead no problem

. let's get together or a couple of groups are the ones as you warm and i will discuss with you. across the channel now to the u.k. because british prime minister boris johnson has been joining of the climate change chorus out the u.k. africa investment summit but while calling out the dangers of carbon emissions more than 90 percent of the energy deal signed up out of that were for fossil fuels shoddy it was dashed he picks up the story. initial space of time the poorest johnson has been prime minister we already know he isn't always one to stick to his word especially when it comes to striking deals but this could be one of his turns yet remember those comments at the beginning of the week all about supporting clean energy in africa to put it simply not another penny of u.k. taxpayers' money would be directly invested in. burning it for electricity because well you know we all breathe the same the same.

carbon emissions rise in the. same circuit right or wrong it's been uncovered that in fact the united kingdom spend billions of pounds of broad supporting fossil fuel projects that will emit an estimated $69000000.00 tons of carbon a year that's the same as the country the size of portugal nearly a 6th of britain's total annual carbon emissions but don't worry the government says miss $70000000.00 tonnes is just a worst case scenario even so the darker shade of green deals doesn't seem to be going down too well with the hypocrisy of the government's position is breathtaking it boasts of his green credentials one minute and then hosts an investment summit which sees billions been invested in carbon intensive industries in africa this government's promises on climate action are completely hollow but things could go from bad to worse for grettir and co-heirs 90 percent of the 2000000000 pounds worth of energy deal struck at the u.k. africa summit were full you guessed it fossil fuels but of course the united

kingdom's official statement on the summit failed to mention that teeny tiny detail that the agreements were dominated by oil and gas and not coal well adding fuel to the fire over the last decade the united kingdom has financed $6000000000.00 pounds worth of fossil fuel projects alone including funding some of the biggest oil and gas companies in the world seems like a right royal mess up goodies all the extra. if you couldn't do nothing with it except. catastrophic condition i mean there's certainly better things to do with the dollars right charles but come down everybody in the government says some of this is going to renewable projects through we are committed to working with countries across the world to unlock their renewable energy pretension and support the transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives or maybe we should believe it by missy ed's shot dead in. london by africa political analyst logan arkanoid believes there's just too much money at

stake for london to worry about those emissions in africa politics and the game itself is one based on investment based on influence based on business and at the same time obviously climate change is a really big deal so it is a conflict of interest for britain itself was also a conflict of brevity a conflict of business if you look at the investment portfolio in africa sadly it still remains that many european 1st world countries are investing in the hydrocarbons or in natural resources and this other thing would change for a very long time purely because there's too much money to stick to it because there are more important issue for these companies to be dealing with i.e. the extraction of minerals will wealth africa. climate issues are also fast becoming a key issue head of the irish parliamentary elections farmers that have complained of constant attacks against the livelihoods by arrogant activists one union says

that while they accept the reality of course of global warming they reject the idea that only rural communities have to change their way of life. all sectors must contribute to learning carbon emissions and farming cannot be singled out for reasons of ideology or political expediency last year the irish parliament a joint committee on climate action issued a report calling for a reduction in agricultural activity saying the sector was the country's largest emitter of greenhouse gases one area in focus was increasing demand for high carbon foodstuffs things like meat and dairy which it claimed not to be revised certain enough aaron obviously you know we're after all producing islands and that's what we are stuck and are and we're very very efficient at that and you know all the issue is a job and issue and as you mentioned china there are many other countries out there but equally there are many countries out there in food production be it beef and

dairy and they're far more harmful to the environment and there are timers the production is so if the food was to be produced in other parts of the go to a far far greater environmental impact obviously we've climatic conditions climate climate terrets these as we approach the middle of this century but equally we need to meet them as soon as possible but you know we are the most efficient from a carom point of view of producing dairy product in the european 20 years and there are environmentalist out there who are and tree huggers who are bashing the reputation of our culture and making us extremely challenging to have a sustainable income from agriculture still ahead in the program the b.b.c. is readying to launch a fake news sporting show for children between 7 and 12 we hear from a former employee of the british pool cost about concerns over bias or bought in just 90 seconds.

join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the

world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome back the b.b.c. a woman wants a new wedge occasional series to help young children detect fake news with star producer angie you know me don't courts now looks at what the british national will cost up might ask some questions about its own coverage to. it's a crusade against fake news and the b.b.c. has elected itself to lead the charge its latest show is aimed at protecting youthful eyes and ears from poisonous propaganda there's

a gap in provision for young people who want to understand how the news is made and the values that stand behind it they need the tools to distinguish the real from the fools online and the skills to think critically about information wherever they encounter it and the new programs producer is none other than angelina jolie as a parent i'm happy to be able to give my support to a program that aims to help children learn more about the lives of other young people around the world i hope it will help children find information and tools they need to make a difference on the issues that matter to them it's a noble pursuit and all but the b.b.c. might not be the most qualified to act as the authority on fighting fake news b.b.c. russia correspondent olga was caught in the act asking a local journalist to help her find evidence of russian meddling connected to protests in paris naturally moscow wasn't very happy with the attempt to pull an anti russian narrative out of thin air authorities all the time accused russian

television channels of an internal protest movements and politics and call them propagandists i think it's humiliating when the british media disseminate such information and the b.b.c.'s track record of pursuing a political agenda goes much farther back than that in 1953 it was used covertly as a pawn in a joint m i 6 cia operation to support a coup against the democratically elected prime minister of iran mohammad mossad it the british government used b.b.c. persian radio to advance its propaganda against most attack on see most of it material was repeatedly aired on the radio channel to the extent it's a very new stuff at the b.b.c. persian radio service went on strike in protest britain's national broadcaster was even accused of sending coded messages to the coupon. others through the specific wording of their broadcasts during the cold war london once again used the b.b.c. as a front to fund anti soviet propaganda in the middle east and latin america fast forward

to 2018 and the b.b.c. covered the duma chemical attack from aboard the anti assad bandwagon citing u.s. officials who confidently claimed that the syrian government had deployed sarin gas against civilians the narrative was used as justification for washington's bombing of syrian government installations although b.b.c. syria's own producer said the attack was staged after almost 6 months of this to go sions i can prove with the host producing was staged no fatalities occurred in the host but look for a network with a history of having its strings pulled by british intelligence services and affinities for a certain line of political agendas it's no wonder viewers are struggling to see the b.b.c. as impartial former b.b.c. john left on a brief as the brewed coffee is attempting to repeat or build trust. level of trust since the b.b.c. who the general public is doing daily weekly and i would say really possibly 2

years ago they could have turned things around but it just got worse and worse really over the last few years a. lead to the b.b.c. panorama programmes that a lot of people who credibly to the b.b.c. and how they handled the run up to the election i think they're doing what they can you know they that picking certain celebrities and rude fluence is to touch themselves to certain creech their reputational brand but. it's a case of is it is it is it possible to rescue that i'm not quite sure it is if you're not discuss it with the public they're just going to come they're just going to feel more and more alienated in the end and feel they're not not being listened to and that's very often that the b.b.c. have not been able to take control of the situation and they also threw. out a brief a run through some other stories from all around the wild starting 8 in south america and chile in particular where police have used kick ass and water cannons against mass anti government rallies. back.

a corrupt ruling elite a champion of digital to look or see it start to send it quickly and brightly taking a few of the folks in 2018 election and joining to form not one but 2 governments but as we all know what goes up at some point must come down after that big election turnout five-star set about signing up to a brand new italian government with the league though the league was supposed to be a junior partner the headline grabbing lead them to use any pushed it into the forefront then it state you know the good times for the illegals are over get ready to pack your bags and money well mccraw on has not been very nice lately he's a polite man but he probably drinks too much champaign. you'll not find any extremists or veterans at this table the only nostalgics are those in power in

brussels today instead we're ready to build a new future this is the path to save europe because those who are sinking into the european dream or the bureaucrats the bankers the do gooders who have been government for too long by the time italians headed back to the polls this time for the e.u. elections for ching's had been reversed it was clear the league was now in the droid seat if we see it the numbers i'm in the last polls that have been. maintained leadership in the polling stations in the intentions are votes. these view the continuation of the governance of would have not grew to move to the lead so he decided to cut it off and run out of the government to be much freer in pursuing his lead to rate without the ties of the governments necessarily implies he has been running up the no need really gaining ground and especially

defeating of decline of the 5 star bickering poll has started to turn on each other and when salvini took a gamble to pull out of the coalition 5 star looked elsewhere months of infighting within 5 still the scene dozens of its parliament through representatives defect be expelled and the cold digital support base has also been hemorrhaging with many unclear about the party's future certainly dismaying risk to become. a deal especially for the 5 stars if they stayed after defeats in the region the nations we have already seen this kind of take legal official kind of for of governments and. people of like tired of it they want to see political leadership of the kountry. elections haven't been particularly calling to the current italian
