watching out international from myself and everyone here in the news from moscow welcome to cheating and so let's head straight to the middle east because iran's news agency says its international website has been taken down after finding fooling 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 in the move. 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 has argued the agency to the sdn 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 note
11:02 am
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
11:03 am
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 islam and 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
11:04 am
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 while we had from the editor in chief of fox news agency english and 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 40 and out is states because we are not men a war we are not you know all militaries 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 actions it's not just the reporters and journalists but also average citizens trump has done
11:05 am
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 willacy 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 as fascinating anyone standing on their way. let's jump now into european story a 16 year old french girl has been told to go into hiding after she received death threats for posting until slamming videos on instagram mena who is from leone said she was responding to homophobic and 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
11:06 am
provoked a multiplication of reactions to in the form of death threats and threats to commit crimes under french hill which guarantees freedom of expression media could argue she was just giving her views on islam the incident has gone at a widespread attention though and even support from some politicians. the speech of this young girl is the voice description of charlus caricatures no more no less we 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 insulted and threatened with death by thousands of fanatics for having given her opinion on islam we got some reaction to the story from mustard should jar his 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
11:07 am
seeing blasphemy laws 'd reinstituted across europe remember back in the middle ages europe was plagued by plus the 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. i don't know i don't know i don't know why you keep on being in 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
11:08 am
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 belief but respect one another and i don't see why this should be a confusing for anyone but there is a problem with fundamentalism in our society and most of the 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 do you good groups are going to do warm and i will discuss with you.
11:09 am
in the nearby u.k. british prime minister boris johnson has been joining the climate change course at the u.k. africa investment summit but while calling out the dangers of carbon emissions more than 90 percent of the energy deal signed at that very offend were for fossil fuels shaadi had with daschle picks up the story. in a short space of time the forest 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 white kids do you. 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 we live beneath the same sky we. carbon emissions rise in the. same circuit right or wrong it's been uncovered that
11:10 am
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 and nearly a 6 of britain's total annual carbon emissions but don't worry the government says $70000000.00 tonnes is just a worst case scenario even so the darker shade of green dills 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 host an investment summit which sees billions being 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
11:11 am
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 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 percent and support their transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives or maybe we should believe it when we see ed's shadows dusty out in london logon arkanoid is an africa political analyst he thinks there's just too much money at stake for london to worry about emissions in africa politics and the
11:12 am
game itself is one based on investment based on influence based on business i'm 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 gravity a conflict of business if you look at the investment portfolio in africa family 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. is the extraction of minerals and will wealth africa. climate issues are also fast becoming a key issue ahead of the irish parliamentary elections farmers that say they face constant attacks on their livelihoods by our current activists one union says that
11:13 am
while they accept of course the reality 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's joint committee on climate action issued a report calling for a reduction in uncle cultural activity saying the sector was the country's largest emitter of greenhouse gases one area and focus was an increasing demand for high carbon foodstuffs things like meat and dairy which it claimed must be reversed certainly enough aaron obviously you know we're of 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
11:14 am
production is so if the food was to be produced in other parts of the go. a 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 our kara 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 and 12 and we'll hear from a former employee of the british forecaster about consigns over a bias of the short break.
11:15 am
the entire stock market and bond market is being taken private with free money and the result will be medieval as a deal feudalism it's clear as day. is all of the government is to promote they want to see the show and see him governmental speed so we do see in their silk road jets which on not realized has been planted during. the problem i see is that these government is in my view much more capable to be more effective in doing what it's ordered to do the problem is that it will move in elites will be drawn to reaction so it will be
11:16 am
a stated goal and then me and the idea is to make states investment was more effective so it's good but it would be bad at the c.s. private in the us. welcome back britain's national full cost item is to launch a new educational series to help young children detect fake news with american actress angelina shady as it stopped produce up. to now looks at whether the b.b.c. might take a critical look at some of 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
11:17 am
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 into fear an internal protest movements and politics and
11:18 am
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 most sadik the british government used b.b.c. persian radio to advance its propaganda against most attack on see most of the 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.
11:19 am
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 most 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 list on a breeze says the broad cost is attempting to rebuild trust a month its view is. the level of trust some of the b.b.c. who the general public is doing daily weekly and i would say really possibly 2 years ago they could turn things around but it's just go with so we're really over
11:20 am
the last. season but to lead to a panorama 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're doing what they can you know they that picking certain celebrities or influences to touch themselves to increase their reputational brand but. it's a case of is it is it is it possible to rescue that i'm not quite sure that you're not discuss it with the public they're just going to come they're just going to feel more and more alienated and and feel they're not not being listened to and that's very and that the b.b.c. have not been able to take control of the situation and they all suffering some grief stories from all around the wild starting in south america and jenny where police have used tear gas and water cannons against math antigovernment rallies. these pictures from protests that tom violent on friday as one officer stood trial
