u.s. media claims russia is backing both the republicans and the democrats in the 2020 presidential election with anonymous sources kick off another alleged russian meddling campaign stateside. accused of fueling hatred politicians in germany blame the rise of the anti migrant alternative for germany party in the wake of wednesday's terror attack in an out. of the new york times while the afghan president over an article written by a taliban leader r.t. looks at the ethics of giving everyone a free speech. why is it that they are so willing to publish the leader of an

islamic terror organization so openly as though they were a writer for their own staffs all about free speech open to debate and discussion. they're welcome to weekend news for marti international in moscow my name's collin bray 1st for you this saturday then the us media is already pointing fingers east this time going after the democrats front runner for the 2020 presidential election the washington post claims through unnamed sources that bernie sanders is receiving russian help for his campaign and that he's been informed of it it was not clear what role they're going to play we were told that russia maybe other countries are going to get involved in this campaign and look here's the message to russia stay out of american elections meanwhile the new york times claims that the president is also the benefactor legibly of russian help. after 3 years of ridiculous which

chance of partisan democrats to say i see these phoneys these are the do nothing democrats they said today that putin wants to be sure that trump gets elected here we go. here we go again recruit you mean put a 1000000 doing the new. commercial socially new budget should bush to bush to bring me to people getting included. how do they mean me. me me treat you well sure but i would also ask it's a low down look so whether it really is a case of here we go again do or die every i know i can be a bit of a warrior you know better than anyone but this time i really think we might have a serious. situation on our hands it is the conclusion of multiple us intelligence agencies that the russian federation is once again trying to

interfere in our 2020 alexion our presidential election again to try to elect donald trump the russians off the american democracy of can and there's just so much evidence to back it up this time in a closed meeting undisclosed intelligence officials told congress that moscow wants to keep orange one in the white house for another few years and 5 unnamed people who apparently are in the loop told us so it's a shelf thing i turned on the t.v. and everyone's quoting it a bombshell revelation just makes me panic more than america's democracy once again under attack by a foreign adversary new revelations about russian efforts to interfere in the 2020 election with the hope of getting the president president reelected and also to make americans doubt the integrity of the election process this is not a 4 year ago flashback folks this is 2020 and the media wouldn't so panic to jump on the bandwagon just to boost their ratings that would be unconscionable wouldn't

it i know you'll say i'm i'm spiraling but can you see how burn up proof this latest report is i mean i agree i did read the article which published the info for us and there isn't a single concrete fact a piece of evidence provided but they promised it would come to light soon both republicans and democrats the intelligence agencies to hand over the underlying material that prompted the conclusion the rush is again favoring mr trump selection how soon the house committee might get that information is not clear and if that wasn't convincing enough trying fight the director of national intelligence and replaced him with a man who supports him that can't be a coincidence can it i mean that's basically trump admitting that he's a criminal stooge and the president of the united states is now helping the president of russia help the president of the you know. states to get reelected now i don't want to exaggerate or anything but this is a national emergency we are now in

a full blown national security crisis by trying to prevent the flow of intelligence to congress trump is abetting a russian covert operation to keep him in office for moscow's interests not america's. and politicians are panicking to it so seriously even tweeted about it poor hillary's also chimed in still a bit saw over the whole 2016th test i suppose putin's popular is at it again taken russian hope for himself who knows he can win without it and we can't let it happen i mean to someone fat the democrats are just being unlucky the mourner report was a boston pietschmann fell flat on its face but still how could anyone pick trump over that and just to conspiring democratic candidates on offer take joe biden for example sure he's got a on approach but he's clearly a good parent and that's got to count for something right then does michael bloomberg sure he made a few crude comments apparently about women back in the eighty's but these were

different times now he's just a good old 2 clean billionaire and bernie sanders well good old mo was giving his honest opinion when he allegedly said a woman could become a president no no the more i think about it the clearer it is a trump 2020 victory could only have the kremlin's fingerprints all over it. diary what a disaster there is no truth to this there's not one shred of evidence and this is pretty pathetic that they have to try to restart this fake witch hunt yet again what is happening to president trump right now is that he's at an all time popularity the democrats see that now they're stuck with a socialist obviously and in burnie and the democrats are desperate so they're trying to dredge up the old story the initial fake witch hunt and the russia story that didn't work the 1st time it's not going to work this time and for them

to go back and pursue it only tells me that they are scraping the bottom of a very empty barrel and they have nothing else to run on. even politicians in germany are lashing out of the anti immigration alternative for germany party in the wake of wednesday's racially motivated mass shootings in 2 balls in which none were killed the lawmakers argued that the f.b.i. has helped create an atmosphere of hatred. at 1st glance it looks like it was a lone wolf what's happening was one man carried it out but there were those who had provided him with ammunition and the 7 least among them gifted in germany struggles to come to terms with the events of this week's tragic slayings in we've seen politicians from the christian democratic union the social democrats they are part of the ruling coalition as well as the left party and the greens as well coming out and accusing alternative media day of funding the flames of far right extremism in the country of course there's

a direct connection between the growing strength of the are there and increasing right wing violence citizens of foreign descent are being denied their human dignity it's so dangerous because it brings someone to a point where they commit a crime here we have a fatal disinhibition not work and they are dead bear responsibility for that too 9 people were killed this week 2 shooting incidents at 2 separate she should bars in the city of homs now all of those that were killed were from an immigrant background most of them were young people as well we heard from one eyewitness who describe for us the scenes of that night. the man came in and started shooting at a kiosk then he came to us he shot the 1st person in the head then shot of the 2nd person we'll drop down to the ground i pretended to be dead we all pretended to be dead we all fell down and he the shooter had emptied his magazine and by then and just run away. from my eyes i was ok i was still alive but i just didn't want to

believe it was real i asked unitive everything was ok he groaned he got me he got me there was a hole in his neck i shouted to the other guy to ask if he was ok he hadn't seen a bullet in the shoulder yet he didn't see the blood as he was wearing a coat he said jamiroquai i stood up and saw interest lying is brother nasser he was down there in the others were lying there too so i went out and peeped into chaos. the people in there ruled out i didn't know what to do i just couldn't believe it was happening or police have confirmed that the main suspect had killed himself his body was found alongside one of the 72 year old mother the 42 year old owned 2 weapons legally the handgun that he used to carry out the attack had been modified to allow it to release bullets quicker is that alongside calls for tighter security and more surveillance of far right to vittie in germany there are also calls for tougher gun laws in the country peter all of in berlin while it may have

the spokes person we spoke to claims that the german establishment is desperately trying to link the atrocity to his party without evidence of a link. the killer was the paranoid he was because a friend nic and the police said it very soon on twitter and this guy had no connection to any any political group to any. extremist to any rising groups and what this what is just terrible at the situation that the all political parties are trying to get somehow through the f.d.a. this is the only way how can they manage to fight against us because they have no real political arguments and policy in the political discussion so therefore they are always just trying to push us into a ride to win corner sort of the people are afraid even to talk to us to

listen to our political arguments we are we are living in a have very heavy political oppression and my mind that we are not free. to express what we want our people are permanently under attack of left extremists and you know what happened now is that that we are putting in the corner where we danced along. an article in a leading us newspaper written by a taliban deputy leader is not going down in afghanistan where the country's president strongly criticized the new york times for publishing it it is said that the new york times has given the platform to an individual who is on a designated terrorist list he and his network of behind ruthless attacks against absence and foreignness. the author is among the world's most wanted man in the f.b.i. office $5000000.00 for any information that could lead to his arrest similar to dina carney he was the designated terrorist in the united states is described by

the agency's website as dangerous the afghan government also criticized the new york times decision to give him a platform now after the backlash the new york times defended its decision to publish the article it claims it's essential to represent all points on the conflict especially to highlight the progress being made in peace talks we've discussed whether everyone should have a voice on all. to publish or not to publish to give the pa platforms who were designated terrorist on the platform is this the right decision i think the editorial team of the new york times or to think very carefully about the decision i think they should think about whether they would publish an article for example by a far right terrorists and question whether or not they would apply their principles universally but nonetheless i think it's a defensible decision it's all about free speech being open to debate and discussion. of negotiations and discussions with groups in northern ireland now

without them talks going on behind closed doors or in secret would we have actually had peace in northern ireland things can change but you've got to be open and you've got to be able to listen to the discourse everything of course we're in favor of absolute freedom of speech but i think the decision to publish is an op ed perhaps cannot be understated you know the new york times is arguably one of the most woke papers in the world and i think there is something extraordinary about the decision to publish this almost without question a piece which is largely without much journalistic mary i would say you know the piece itself is basically propaganda for the taliban yes the new york times we don't know what's going on in the background is this a form of link between the afghanistan taliban and the new york times to the u.s. government to try and open some form of dialogue why and we just don't know and that may be the reason why it's been done the way house. the dialogue has to

be opened in some direction and this may just be that. which may be out the norm but it may just be a route that they're looking at we have no idea whether this represents an accurate portrayal and in fact it could do more damage to the negotiations long term if the american administration see this as exposing a vulnerability in their lives a negotiation that could throw up its own difficulties. so there we do have the question you know why is it that they are so willing to publish the leader of a nice islamic terror organization so openly as though they were a writer for their own staff this is really a no platform situation with them if you keep no platform and then people get the wrong view of them soon as you open it up to find out how deaf they are and show that in the eyes of the public so yes let's our freedom of speech let it all be out there let's debate it. and then move forward you know if you don't like the debate then go somewhere else and listen to some of the news. a longstanding tradition is

no longer to everyone's taste in the german city of cologne a special festival cake on sale in one of the city's bakeries debate online because some see it as pandering to racist stereotypes known as chocolate kisses the treats have overly large lips and according to some are offensive to black people. i just received a photo from a caffeine cologne from a good friend the white chocolates are just as bad they are supposed to look like north africans do you cafe consistory from your bakery disgusts me the point is that the chocolate marshmallows are made to show racist dinner types with eclipse i'm speechless how do you want to explain something like that it is something to see we've also been out to ask the people of cologne for their reaction to the festival. no i do not think it's racist it's a tradition that does not refer to anyone in particular so i think it's all right. vides doesn't know and says it's always been this way i see nothing racist about

the ninety's or know just how is it racist it looks nice. simple as the color of chocolate i wouldn't think of turning things negative f.k.n. fall no way it's racist i think it's nice and there's no need to view it this way is a tradition which should be preserved. to me black and white shots that have nothing to do with racism it's rather a matter of tastes they taste different alters. google is said to move sensitive data belonging to millions of its users from the european union to the united states leaving them outside the strict privacy laws that they currently operate under. like many companies we have to prepare for breaks it's nothing about our services or our approach to privacy will change including how we collect or process data and how we respond to law enforcement demands for use information the protections of the u.k. general data protection regulation would still apply to these users. the internet

giant says the reason behind the move is a brick said uncertainty government british users data is kept in the republic of ireland and comes under the jurisdiction of e.u. privacy regulations but it's still unknown if the u.k. will follow europe's general data protection regulation the g.d.p. are after its departure different legal frameworks could potentially make it harder for the authorities to recover information for criminal cases. the g.d.p. our provides some of the strongest data protections in the world companies have to tell their users when they are collecting private data and citizens are able to not only see how their data is used but also requests that it gets deleted however the proposals raising privacy concerns google has one of the world's largest caches of personal information and the united states has some of the weakest previously protections of any developed economy with britain and the u.s. said turn a go she had a wide ranging trade deal it's not known whether user data will be on the table the issue with the us jurisdiction is substantially weakened in the european.

regulations and the g.d.p. as being very very widely praised is even being praised by google's chief executive in america they don't have regulations that are strong the potential problems could be how you are going to use data you could really have a problem of the anonymization that you can actually work who somebody is but overlay in a lot of different databases because the whole thing is so woolly at the moment there aren't clear guidelines on what will or won't be done then you don't have as much protection as you do in the. washington post is all to the headline which originally suggested that the athletes should play a key role in picking the country's president it comes after the outlet found itself in the spotlight online. democracy dies in darkness and less darkness is what the elites need to read in election in which case maybe democracy isn't all

that great anyway there goes the unheard line that says silence peasants the wealthy are speaking democracy dies in darkness whispers jeff bezos to michael bloomberg rupert murdoch julian sinclair and donald trump in a dark smoke filled room suckers. under the current us election system primaries take place at the beginning of an election year to select candidates in some states every citizens allowed to vote and others only registered voters however the presidential nomination doesn't win this down the votes way and that the goods think you need around this law to believe the articles an attempt to plunder the attention of the newspapers losing. first of all is one of the most poorly constructed arguments ever i read it and i thought to myself i don't understand what this is suggesting so i gave it to a couple of by learned colleagues they don't know what it is either we don't know

what exactly this is suggesting who are these elites this is a college professor a ph d. ph d. stands for something this far as the washington post goes it is a rag it is a hospital mop it is it is it is nothing it's it the glory days of yore from watergate it's over with not only that the print medium of this country newspapers are closing the new york times is a joke so what you see right now is one last gasp effort to put something in it will get people to talk about it. as swarms of locusts approached china's border with pakistan the chinese are preparing a unit of unusual soldiers to fight off the plague like threat. this is.

frank frank. frank. ok that's how it looks from moscow so far this saturday now with just a few days to go until the wiki leaks founder faces extradition hearings in the u.k. get up to speed on the few highs but many lows of a turbulent 10 years the song story is on the way only on the international.

the russian state television propaganda machine propaganda outlet propaganda tools we are in an information war. the can change the world tomorrow. we send out you tube videos them to sleep for us russia today is the longest network on. russian brushes russia russia russia has a. feeling here that they will actually use russia to live and i really have to join to see you then on r g. 4 are so proud and still. are just getting the numbers.

why have you not shut down our t.v. on you tube it's a propaganda machine mr walker. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks protect the only catholic population in belfast tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes and what was striking about these attacks was that the r.u.c. the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of whole streets in belfast at the hague more than a 100 innocent civilians were unloaded as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent of the currents which the inclusion was involved in some of those cases the killers would later be named than to the now we're getting i think it went to the very very top i think

it is the focus for all the water where politicians knew what was going on and give the go ahead. julian a social travels to sweden to deliver a speech while there he met 2 women aged 31 and 26 the wiki leaks founder was soon involved in an intimate relationship with both of them. and the woman who had it and find it him to space also offered her comment to his studio and said there's only one there's only one bed in attendance and i'm going to be away you can stay. however things chang

and the woman came back. and. wanted julian to snape there any way. those women they really approached him it seems like especially the younger ones saw him on t.v. fell into law whatever that may be the 1st and then it looks like someone who wants to be a rock n roll group feels nothing approaching him and really chasing him down and finally she also succeeds in it and they share a one night stand which at some point becomes a you know. it was only after learning that a song should slept with both of them at the women decided to go to the police that proved to turning point both phone wiki leaks and for julian assange it was when this story took

a very different. women went to the police. once there to report a rape they report they wanted to encourage him to have an h.r. vito's because they have had sex with him unprotected and were concerned about well . so there was no like actual rape right there was no violence there although all the newspapers afterwards they were saying rape allegations rape allegations there was no actual rape because this is this miss this is it but this is exactly this is that was the aim of the whole exercise to start hearing the word rape in connection with. best occasion and exonerate to livingston around and you just saw me in there with a rape allegation is raising is really a more news in the arena. in many people's minds is this something suspicious

about him and because he hasn't and he's run away from. i think it would have been better had he gone to sweden because i think he needed his opportunities here is named. at the same time i completely. why he didn't see the problem in sweden it's not a country where i understand the language of addition to the media climate has been set up in sweden. i think that if julian went to sweden at that point he would have been extradited he was often like mocked in the prednisone and people say ah he just wants to know as he doesn't want to face the music in sweden and so on then said he's paranoid but i think from today's perspective we don't really know now what the us is really after him and i think he was.

the big thing that i think cruelly undermined the public support for julian was a swedish case obviously you would find the newspapers of high repute. television stations to doing julian in and became gratuitous. i think to be fair to say the mainstream old sound media never really liked elaine . they didn't really like to him because his model publishing was a threat to their existence. and there was a great deal of jealousy in the mainstream towards wiki leaks and tortuous own particular why i wanted to be more like cops be one of ops.

when they wanted access to the commands they were stabbed in that this person simply said. now they cannot even do you know. with respect. in the moment they collided with him they took the information he had but immediately let's say the next day you had a hit piece in the new york times from. time. to i think. betrayal it's a betrayal of principle. what do you think of the allegations that. are required from the new york times is that .
