giants may use it to censor support is a poll of politicians they dislike. in moscow the court gives custody to social services of a completely healthy child left by parents in the hospital for 5 years. follow they could even just here in moscow watching the international emergency meeting if the u.n. security council is to convene in new york in the next few hours the session has been called by the u.s. the u.k. and also france. has more to tell. the u.n. security council is set to meet regarding the issue of ongoing fighting in the syrian city of dilip the white house is calling for russia to end its efforts to the ongoing offensive in the city against terrorists this is
12:02 pm
a dangerous conflict it needs to be brought to an end. russia needs to change its policy now russia recently renewed its offensive against the terrorist forces in it live it is supporting efforts to take back the city from terrorists and jihad is forces now one particular group that the russian foreign ministry has pointed to as being very dangerous is called a yacht terrier al shabab and this is a terrorist group that is widely known around the world for its atrocities for example there are over 1400 attacks with tanks machine guns that have been heavy weaponry that have taken place recently in addition they have been countering civilian protest and ad lib against their ongoing presence in the presence of other militants that there have been attacks on humanitarian corridors which is a violation of international law in addition they have been using civilians as human shields now russia has also emphasized the recent deaths not just of syrian military personnel but specialists from both russia and turkey within the last 2
12:03 pm
weeks of january a load it could have faced over 1000 to tuck's the death toll a number of injured among syrian troops and civilians outside the deescalation zone has already passed hundreds of people russian in turkish special this also among those tragically killed now moscow has pointed to recent statements from the u.s. government that seem to indicate that the usa views the to rear terrorists as if they are somehow a legitimate opposition group. we would like to highlight several statements made by western countries 1st of all by the u.s. in which the terrorist so high out to rail shum are being painted as an opposition force and protected under the pretext of establishing a ceasefire but we've been saying no to a ceasefire with terrorists so this will never happen now the russian foreign ministry has pointed to some inconsistency is in statements from u.s. leaders the usa pointed to the killing of al baghdadi as the end of isis and saying
12:04 pm
that a high isis was 100 percent wiped out the eisel terrorist were no more however there has been continued instability and terrorist groups continue to have strength in it live and other parts of syria u.s. sent home and the d i a both assessed that the october death of al baghdadi did not result in any immediate degradation to isis's capabilities following the death of isis leader abu bakar al baghdadi the group's capabilities in syria remain the same. 321 so there are clearly international differences $3.00 to $1.00 so there are clearly differences among the international community when it comes to the ongoing offensive against terrorism in the syrian province of ellipse so all eyes will be on the security council as the emergency meeting is scheduled to begin. bringing the latest on that now in a major shakeup in german politics a key regional prime minister has quit just hours after taking up the post made
12:05 pm
a huge backlash over a political gain that brought him brought him to power. the all flues all this just resignation was inevitable the dissolution of the parliament is inevitable in detroit yesterday with a perilous trick of damage democracy there was no cooperation with the f.t. there is no such cooperation and will never be. taught us carrick they're quick to say that he had nothing to do with the deal with alternative for germany well how long he sticks around at the higher levels of the free democratic party with that may be measured in hours similar to his reign as prime minister of the state of to ensure he's fairly much in the firing line at the moment and it's been a huge backlash to this situation it's unfolded into india backlash from politicians also from the public as well it follows this union basically this alliance between the c.d.u.
12:06 pm
which is anger merkel's party the right wing alternative for germany party the f.d.a. to support and back thomas kennedy to be the prime minister of the state of to india that resulted in condemnation condemnation from all the high angle of merkel herself having something to say about it and this is unforgivable and that's why the result must be reversed the election of the prime minister was a unique process that broke with the basic conviction of the c.d.u. and also of mine namely that no jury should be one with the help of the f.t. this is a bad day for democracy. chancellor merkel have to say something because she often repeated that promise that there would be no alliance between alternative for germany and her present democratic union it's really seen as the big to boo in german politics to have anything to do with a half day to try and gears them to gain power in fact you saw large demonstrations
12:07 pm
across germany on wednesday evening against what we've seen happening today nya. is one of the smallest states in the german federal republic but the rock that being thrown in there and not pool has certainly cast ripples far afield christian linda who's the head of the free democratic party that thomas kennedy belongs to
12:08 pm
least for now in fact he's called for votes of confidence while speaking to party leadership when it comes to the cd themselves local representatives in the states of today just saying they don't want to see new elections in the state it does look like that's the direction we're heading in at the moment when you look at that it's hard to think that would have been possible just a short while ago while angela merkel was head of the christian democratic union that there would be a local faction of the policy that would be so publicly. against what head office is saying there will be a meeting of christian democratic union top brass here in berlin on friday as they continue to discuss the fallout from what's going on in the states elections. are all over that we've got reaction to the story from both sides of germany's political spectrum. parliament voted with this majority for this liberal
12:09 pm
and it is clear that our problem deputies from f.t. also supported this liberal candidate but it's completely constitutional completely democrat democratic the political left wing a leader of the centrist elite and bowlen is not a willing to accept that in a federal state parliament elects a liberal to be prime minister because to say he has the support of the wrong after all party f.t. into renia the 2nd largest force and people voted for it shows in which state democracy in germany is now after government of i get our merkel to lead a. regional federal government. through fascist this is the group of job it's not a question of legal it's a quest question of politics the next year and this year. of course in the
12:10 pm
professional political. system on the federal level you are professional you move all and you think forward rich scenarios. and if you know that sooner you can happen the. trick tries to bring in. government to legitimated that it's all just politics you should do anything to him . now in a blow to the democrats caucus votes in the u.s. state of iowa is still being calculated 2 days on nafta or an era an application recording election day to stop publication of the results and just as key primaries are coming up to twitter and you tube announced changes to the way they fight doctored materials auntie's dunk or takes a look now the tech giants they were doing in the new groups. we all like a good many i know i do and that's why i'm here to warn you that there are potential danger all because of twitter's new war on altered images and videos that
12:11 pm
might mislead voters we know that some tweets include many plaited photos or videos that can cost people harm today we're introducing a new rule and a label that will address and give people more context around this tweets one man's satire is another man's trigger there's bound to be those who will find hilarious songs like this one unhealthy for political discourse. twitter has boiled its definition of so-called doctored images down to a few criteria editing of the contents composition changes in its visual or auditory information and anything that simulates real people but who actually gets to make the call on what does or doesn't harm is anyone's guess are these trump dog and rocky memes politically misleading maybe this one with bernie sanders is
12:12 pm
harmful a political satire well it's always bound to hurt someone's feelings but if you're not on twitter don't think this isn't going to step on your toes you tube's got its own version of this new policy of the 2020 lection season kicks into high gear in the united states people who visit you tube to learn about the candidates and watch the election season. over the last few years we've increased or if it's to make you tube. and information as well as an open platform for who flee political discourse remember that video trumps supporters made portraying their president massacring the mainstream media in a church it was funny to them to the mainstream media while they were a bit offended the white house correspondents association says it is horrified by this and is calling on president trump to denounce the video c.b.s. has decided. not to show that video we can't show this video because it's so disgusting is extremely violent it is disturbing and those bad liberating videos
12:13 pm
could also be interpreted as politically misleading you're probably a day think a bug just quit right here. we need new babies out there think we need time to make new ones because the old ones just become so big twitters netizens have already picked up on the controversy because people were kind of easy to see is this i love how you use the word doctored because that's the elisa talker means the left caught me on twitter oh yeah well now no one can make your bed in the eames which may cause harm to the left we can read between the lines there will be no unimproved in the people's republic of twitter coverage it seems that without any ultimate authority to make the call on what is and isn't a violation so many decisions will be left to the rules vague wording who knows how internet freedom will fare as a result. now a healthy girl who's been living in a moscow hospital her whole life is being handed to social services the decision
12:14 pm
has been made by a court after her parents fail to take a 5 year. this girl is 5 years old and she's had a bizarre sheltered life. this is the room where she lives it's not in a house or apartment and her relatives are not by her side it's an elite private hospital in central moscow and for our entire life she has never left as grounds for dressing marchioness trashing me or her up in washington. you. can be. the voice or sharing is not her mother it's her nanny the mother has decided that her daughter is hopelessly ill and must be confined to a hospital. however
12:15 pm
doctors say that the girl is perfectly healthy and there is no medical reason to keep her in the clinic although they have been unable to discharge her without parental consent. she doesn't know and yet in life but she's a good normal girl the girl's parents have paid the hospital huge sums of money almost $200000.00 a year to keep her there in the company of private nannies almost a year ago the parents stopped sending their payments but they still refused to take her home and a legal battle has been raging so the hospital convinced the parents to leave their child in the hospital all this time i guess the logical conclusion if the child has been hospital for 5 years i'd be parents are not doctors they just paid the bills how reliable is information the child is healthy and there is no need for her to
12:16 pm
stay in hospital. on monday the corps delivered its verdict. and your resume the parents are to be stripped of parental rights to the girl and she will be placed in the custody of child welfare services perhaps soon she will final leave the confines of the hospital and see the world she has been drawing for all these years while the parents can a pail that decision but russian officials do say that they hope to eventually give the girl to her grandparents so comfy this there's anger in portugal over the waste being dumped in the country will be back in the details on that story for service to just after the break. you know world big part of. lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up
12:17 pm
to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. i walk through the streets of moscow now drew blood $100.00 people i was each of them would have the changes of leukemia the blood that they don't have to keep because in order for them to have the key me they need the d.n.a. changes they also need an environment that's receptive and one of the biggest areas of growth in the future is be targeting. changing you so the cancer doesn't want to .
12:18 pm
follow again more riot police have been dispatched to the greek island to bless boss amid growing protests by refugees this week officers fired tear gas as hundreds of migrants demanded better living conditions in the camps there were migrants in the overcrowded maraya camp on the island complained of appalling conditions the 3000 person facility currently houses more than 6 times that number of asylum seekers and residents also say to this been a lack of electricity and water. for people who didn't have a lot to. worry about. this more you will get picked probably through the jungle the girls. all of chilling the sick. are much older much as
12:19 pm
i did in libya and emerge is very about. well i think he's been struggling to contain a growing number of refugee applications it has committed to relocate migrants marlon's to the mainland and to speed up processing asylum claims but with just a few 100 relocated so far greece's migration minister is vying to step up its response and the piece tell us a clue says that the member states had promised to be far more to help out fortunately this behavior of the european union that bad loans greece and italy. is acceptable because according to previous agreements the the those. in the rivers blocked in greece should be relocated to to the other member states of the european union according to the publishers but there are some there is mainly the coverage governed by the
12:20 pm
right wing governments they're not. even one refugee you know it's very simple when it comes to financial questions whether to repay your debt that said there are very strict but if it is to come to the political questions. the human values the foundations of the european regular they're doing the. math thousands of tons of european waste in landfills across poor cheekily provoking a massive public outcry and rage residents have been staging protests some even taking the sheep to court. the smell is the worst thing we can smell it a kilometer away because the landfill have a daughter who is caused by it's unbearable but it was impossible to be outside
12:21 pm
it's awful we can't even drink the water it's contaminated. we found out that in portugal the waste management fee for landfills starts at $10.00 euros per term while a new era the average is 80 euros you don't have to be an expert to understand that there's a huge economic opportunity to attract rubbish to portugal transforming our country into a kind of dustbin for industrial waste. stream and so while we're asking for the closure of the landfill because it is located 100 meters from a vocational college it is too close to the houses to therefore it does not respect legal limits and it is impossible to live like this.
12:22 pm
while in response to the public outcry the portuguese environment minister has said that i was seeing these waste contracts will undergo a thorough review as soon as the current licenses expire in may. other news tonight 3 alleged terrorists have been arrested in the motifs following a stabbing attack this left several people injured police say the suspects may have links to ice so the stabbing incident took place in the island of oahu mali close to the capital leaving 3 foreign nationals injured police believe the suspected terrorists intend to target tourists authorities and maltese have been cracking down on terrorism and. arrested key figures including a high profile suspected isis recruiter after around 300 people left the country to join the group let's talk about this a bit more now with the lendu mistral he's a senior lecturer at lancaster university can you very welcome thanks for coming on thank you most people view the mall days as some sort of paradise location but as
12:23 pm
we pointed out there you know it has been the victim of several terrorist terror attacks in recent years what's going on why is it gone wrong. well you have to hold a swan is for the worst and most of to just love just holidaymakers and the other one is what moldavian crime these 2 societies don't come to meet with each other there's a computerized electric society and whatever the tourist money comes to the country badly goes to the well given what lesson. so what happened is that it does raise a lot of contempt over the years as an islamic country listening forget that. they're feeling most of the morning instead of that their islamic values undermined by this western influx whatever goes on in those in the holidays or sense on and so forth so that has kind of laid back law over the years of this they recommend tomato sauce for the last 2 decades the saudis up in that making it kind of
12:24 pm
foretold in the maldivian are just the lago so they have been pumping in money for the kind of book i guess some of their kind of was the islam and art house that transforms the youths in the mall they've got you to court has already highlighted well each side of the store person the amount of citizens participating in the activities of the islamic state of iraq and their arms. are almost 150 of them died and another 170 i think different prisons in iraq and syria so just small it's a lot less on have a 1000000 people. who are kind of on the line tense and has always been there and that was not been kind of. looked out on force particular this other deceiving again that the soft targets of the moment is it a difficult thing to counter this because i know you've explained the problem is that in essence it is an island in a relatively small covering
12:25 pm
a relatively small area where this is happened do you think more can be done to counter terrorism here is this just a problem that seems to just manifest itself and continue. well i was trying to tell you ali are the measure of the of the maldivian populace and the best in the capital city in mali and around and they don't access to all these luxuries that we are talking about so there is a massive youth population that don't have jobs that is on employment there is kind of poverty so that kind of radicalism is a part of that over the picture and many of the students are concerned kind of bog the maldivian population so when you're talking about them looking for targets so they're wants to grow more we'd have to go to the airport and all the rest of it that is exactly what is happening there so what can be done are the kind of practical conflict resolution mechanism so it has to be more developmental in asserting number one second the government has to actively initiates ways of
12:26 pm
address and radicalism because there are radical preachers in almost all others and that there is nothing the government is doing so far as contending that influence on the general point looking at the wider reach of isis we've been told haven't we many times that i see seems to be on its last legs that the terror group seems to be defeated particularly in syria but incidents like this prevail there was. well i mean what there might have been defeated in the area iraq and syria but that doesn't mean that the very idea has disappeared so many of them have fled to north africa horn of africa west africa and box of asia as well so it's unlikely that we have all in the war against islamic state or radical islam say so it's going to come of that when one of the outcomes of that last year in. so long come out very far from the maldives we stand up acts and so on and so christians so we are this is going to become recurrent and i don't think we're on the battle against islamic
12:27 pm
states and just finally we know that continues to be a very popular tourist destination for many westerners too as you pointed out is there anything that they can do that tourists traveling to the moment. can or should do is it just a question of being vigilant. of them and give you money are pretty isolated from the major men. because these arkansas completely gaga they're kind of islands basically never usually in trucks and whatsoever but you've got the service sector where you hop on the seas walkers the space in the australian and chinese who are home to be in the amelio wholeness so what they can be vigilant aboard an islamic country are going to follow a look and customs and drive a sense but then again if you're paying all of us and biggest bombs what a night for it is you don't want to sort of leap under the kind of conjurer a mess and i want you so there is going to try to walk over to us. ok look we're
12:28 pm
leaving everyone at a time of great to see to not have stopped and then it is strange mr a senior lecturer at lancaster university thank you. and it is just coming up to me even here must have a back end with morphy at the top and. i'm going to fulfill the repeated promise is a possible to the people and come on you know we've all pots to. break free from.
12:29 pm
now you want to. know. so the politicians have basically stuck the american public with the bellotti to negotiate for drugs and both parties who are financed very heavily by the pharmaceutical industry have done this so when your own people vote they should look at how much does this politician get from the power pharmaceutical industry.
12:30 pm
greetings and sell you take a shit. as the rolling stone spray mostly saying. you can't always get what you want hawk watchers but if you try sometime you'll get what you need and you know what happens if you don't try it all well you get what you deserve and after tuesday night's state of the union speech i think we are definitely getting what we deserve this year is 78 minute long annual public relations speech by the president the united states to the u.s. congress and the country was definitely everything we've come to expect from our brand name in chief including 3 door prizes like the awarding of the presidential medal of freedom to conservative radio talk show host rush limbaugh. rosa parks' mohammad ali mother teresa and now rush limbaugh adds his name to the list for i guess what helping create a train wreck of devices.
