1:02 pm
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.
1:03 pm
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 antisemitism. 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 caleb up and we heard from the editor in
1:04 pm
chief of fars news agencies english version he explained how ordinary people are reacting to washington's pressure on the country. that journalists and reporters though were really antagonized i mean they were feeling lots of hatred for the and that is states because we are not man 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 nonnes they news agency so it's not even a state run media people here are feeling the brunt of the end of 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 received human rights and so
1:05 pm
on and 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 oscillate anyone standing on their way. to another headline stories this hour british prime minister barak's johnson has been joining the climate change chorus at the u.k. africa investment summit but whilst calling on the dangers of carbon emissions more than 90 percent of the energy deal signed up the event involved fossil fuels shania edwards dusty except 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.
1:06 pm
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 3rd get 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 and nearly a 6 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
1:07 pm
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 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 could do nothing with it except what should be catastrophic condition i mean that's certainly better things to do with the dark right charles will come down everybody in the government says some of it is going to renewable projects we are committed
1:08 pm
to working with countries across the world to unlock their renewable energy percent and support the transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives or maybe we should believe it but. shadow. we also spoke on this story to political analysts like a lawyer who thinks there's too much money at stake for london to worry about emissions in africa politics and the game itself is $1.00 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 family it still remains that many european 1st world countries are investing in the hydrocarbon 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. and it issues are also fast becoming a key issue ahead of irish parliamentary elections farmers there say they face constant attacks on their livelihoods by activists one farming union says that while they accept 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 reduction agricultural activity stating the sector was the country's largest emitter of greenhouse gases one area in focus was on increasing demand for high carbon foodstuffs such as in the town terry which it claimed must be reversed. from enough air and obviously you know we're a tool producing island and that's what we are. and we're very very efficient and
1:10 pm
you know all the issue is a drawer 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 to our time production is so if the food was to be produced in other parts of the go to a far greater environmental impact obviously we've climatic conditions terabits these as we approach the middle of this century but equally we need to meet as soon as possible but you know we are the most efficient 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 it extremely challenging to have a sustainable income from agriculture. washington ses it's ready to provide up to

$35000000.00 to bring about what it calls an independent media in syria however the list of america's the 3rd purposes has rates questions over the true nature of its intentions. the purpose is to advance the following us government policy objectives in syria ensure the enduring defeat of isis achieve a political solution to the syrian conflict under the auspices of the united nations security council resolution and end the presence of iranian forces in proces in syria well they are also raising the alarm about dissin from ation spreading through syria but the us media itself has been caught red handed on both theme and not just waltz here are some examples a boy whose bloodied image spread world wide you may remember became a propaganda tool for local rebel groups in some parts of the media his father told r.t. back in 27 they not his son had simply been exploited the u.s. media has also been pressing the few that it was the syrian government used

chemical weapons against civilians in the city of duma 20 a day and that went around the world to them that later a video purporting to show women and children suffering from the aftermath of the attack turned out to be farmer table to be used as leverage against bashar assad's government. but we spoke to journalist eva barclay to believes the western media is losing credibility when it comes to syria. i think that more people are becoming disenchanted with western media given how transparently a bald faced lie they have they have been over the course of the war in syria but the thing is like if they want to promote on this you can't be dictating to journalists of the can or cannot report it's russian russian media russian journalists russians spokespeople who have been telling the truth on syria in my opinion and this is based on actually in syria and seeing what they've been saying for some spokesperson army of what they say reporting i can corroborate that with
1:13 pm
what i've been hearing and serious well and let's remind people that after the allegations about alleged chemical attack and mount it was syria and russia 1st request of the o.p.c. that you come to syria and investigate and it was the u.s. u.k. and france which syria for that investigation could actually for. britain's national broadcaster is to launch a new educational series to help young children detect fake news with american actress angelina jolie star producer artie's don't quarter looks not whether the b.b.c. should be taking a critical look at its own coverage to. its 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
1:14 pm
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 attempts to pull an anti russian narrative out of thin air authorities all the time accused russian television channels of ins if you are an internal protest movements and politics and call them propagandists i think it's humiliating when the british media
1:15 pm
disseminate session from ation 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 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
1:16 pm
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 investigations i can prove without a doubt that the duma hospital certainly staged no fatalities occurred in the hospital 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 they're staying with the story a little bit longer former b.b.c. journalist breeze ses the broadcaster is attempting to reach bill frost level of trust since the b.b.c. who the general public is due in late in daily weekly and i would say really possibly 2 years ago they could have turned things around but it's just got worse and worse really over the last he is a meaningless and bitsy lead to be around the programs that
1:17 pm
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 touch themselves to use or 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 it's you know not discuss it with the public that it's going to come they just can feel more and more alienated and and and feel they're not not being listened to and not very and that the b.b.c. have not been able to take control of the situation and they also are in. a teenage french girl received death threats over her islamic views on social media we've done that story for you after this short break.

1:20 pm
crimes when the incident has garnered widespread attention and support from some politicians. the speech of this young girl is the voice description of charlus caricatures no more no less we can find the volga 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 why has the debate but this story and free speech really in general what must sued shirt or chair of the u.k.'s islamic human rights commission also andrea walk around as 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 plus the laws inflicted by the christian community and i
1:21 pm
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 within islam or in islam 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 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
1:22 pm
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 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 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 over a cup of tea you can criticize other than just you want and i will discuss and meet you. sunday's key vote in northern italy could trigger a major shake up in the country its biggest party has been left reeling after
