sanctions as a form of information wolf has the wrong fox news agency says its international website is shut down on the orders of the us treasury. told to go into hiding amid a furious debate on free speech a teenage french goal received death threats over onto years gone videos on social media we discussed whether there should be a lawyer between hatred and freedoms. the british prime minister gives a warning over carbon emissions up the u.k. opt for the summit while striking energy deals that are always entirely centered around fossil fuels. and that the tables be turning to kids because party ahead of a key poll in the north of the country this sunday the anti establishment 5 star

movement is doing a major shift following its need its resignation. 5 pm in moscow this us a office next to keep me company as we talk through the biggest stories of the day so far. and let's start with this one following a recent trend against iranian media fars news agency says its international website has been taken down after a party fall in foul of u.s. sanctions it comes as tensions continue to build between the 2 countries and it seems the u.s. treasury department at a major role to play. the photos news dot com websites is being blocked on u.s. treasuries orders and emails sent to followers newsagency by the provider clearly stated that the treasury's office of foreign assets control has argued the agency to the sdn specially designated nationals list if you visit the web site fars news

dot com it is unavailable the web page does not load now it's important to note 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 to deny. as 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 agencies said he explained how ordinary people are reacting to washington's pressure on the country. the 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 been a war we are not you know mela faeries 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 try and media people here are feeling the brunt of the and out as 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 the mark receive human rights and so on so forth are for nothing and they are hollow and when the time arrives they see no difference between saw for fair media warfare or military wofford they just assassinate anyone standing on their way. out of had to front because that 16 year old has been told to go into hiding after she received death threats for posting anti islamic photos on instagram mena who is from neil said she was just responding to homophobic on racist abuse from muslims on the platform police are 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 all comments about the muslim religion has provoked a multiplication of reactions to in the form of death threats and threats to commit crimes on differential which guarantees freedom of expression miller could argue she was just giving her views on islam the incident has gone and widespread attention and even support for some politicians. the speech of this young girl is the voice description of charlus caricatures no more no less we can find it evolve but we cannot accept that some people condemn her to death for that in france in the 21st century let us support miller a 16 year old high school student insulted threatened with death by thousands of fanatics for having given her opinion on islam. we got reaction to this story from the siege the charles chair of the islamic human rights commission as well as andre walker

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 a disappeared my guess is blasphemy law blasphemy is is something a very christian sort of centric concept and it's got no room in within 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 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 this is done around the cup of tea let us criticize one another's believe 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't criticize a sob you cults insult the prophet muhammad you can't be critical all. the views that he expressed that is something that is dangerous for our society i'm not saying that you can cruise was a slow and see go no problem let's get together or

a cup of tea you can criticize those words as you want and i will discuss it with you. across the channel in the u.k. british prime minister boris johnson has been joining the climate change chorus up the u.k. africa investment summit but while calling out the dangers of carbon emissions woman 90 percent of the energy deal signed up by out of that bill for fossil fuels saudi edwards brings us the details. 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. 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 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 this $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 as 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 as in 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. 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 will 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 when we see ed's shadow. in london

we spoke to africa political analyst like you not can lawyer who thinks there's just too much money at stake for london to worry about 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 morality 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 purely 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 far becoming a key issue ahead of the irish parliamentary elections farmers there say they face

constant attacks on their livelihoods by our current activists one union says that while they accept the reality of global warming they would check the idea that only world 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 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 particular focus was an increasing demand for high carbon foodstuffs things like meat and dairy which it claimed must be robust. certainly enough fear and obviously you know we are after all producing islands and that's what we are. and we're very very efficient and you know all the issue is that your belief 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 terrifying most unpopular as 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 terrets these as we approach you know the middle of this century but equally we need to meet as soon as possible but you know we are the most efficient from a caravan 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 to come the b.b.c. is readying to launch a fake news spotting show for youngsters aged between $7.12 we hear from a former employee of the british broadcaster about concerns over bias after the

short break. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president and you. want to be. to the right of the press as a white woman for 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested in the water power. in the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the u.s. and the world. stacy her but dig into the burning questions of this election cycle . every week. tax student debt trade was

money universal basic. and more catch up with what's front running this sunday exclusively on r.t. . welcome back britain the national broadcaster has turned want a new educational theories to help young children detect fake news with american actress angelina showed me as its star producer don quarter looks at whether the b.b.c. should take a critical look at 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 interfere in 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. . 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 most sadik the british government used b.b.c. persian radio to advance its propaganda against on 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 coup plotters 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 but. 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 phone call to the now former b.b.c. john lets down a brief says the full cost is indeed attempting to rebuild trust amongst its fia's . the level of trust sorbs 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's just go with so would really are the last. season but to lead to one of the soprano on the programs that a lot of people incredibly disappointed the b.b.c. in how they handled the run up to the election i think they do what they can you know they that picking certain celebrities or influences to push themselves to certain creates 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 you know not discuss it with the public that is going to come they're just going to feel more and more alienated and and and feel they're not not being listened to and not very often that the b.b.c. have not been able to take control of the situation and they all suffer and. now some news from all around the wild in briefs starting and south america why police have used water cannons against mass anti government rallies.
