International im Rosana Lockwood welcome to the program. Now the leaders of france and russia have held a meeting ahead of this weekends g. 7 summit emmanuelle mccrone and Vladimir Putin spoke for about 3 and a half hours in the betraying to reports from the french riviera. Well i guess you dont really give personal invitations to an International Leader to these kind of places and this kind of format even if its the president of a very important geopolitical player unless they are your friends so clearly in the past 2 years mr mack on mr putin developed a close relationship we heard Emmanuel Macron call his counterpart dear vladimir a few times in death of lot of our putins just when he arrived he came with ok of flowers for emanuel macedoines wife and it seemed that the french president wanted to make his russian counterpart feel as much comfortable as possible on his visit to france in the commission of the president was very kind and let us sit in the shade while he and his delegation are sitting right under the sun so ill try to be brief. This kind of coziness definitely helps because the 2 president s have many important tough matters to resolve in particular the crisis in east ukraine and they were frank that they were going to talk about it a lot busy what they want to do is discuss the revival of the socalled normandy format thats when the president s of russia and ukraine get together with the leaders of germany and france to try and help resolve the cranium crisis which has escalated in the past couple of months the only one of the deployed. With mr zelinsky mr putin and cool will try to work with the normandy formats in a few weeks. Theres no alternative to the normandy format and will obviously supported the. Now heres Something Else thats very important the french president emmanuel made it clear that for him it was very important to me president putin face to face before the french leader heads to bad trades that is the venue of the upcoming g. 7 summit thats about to kick off in just a few days and this is a summit that russia has not been part of me for more than 5 years straight after the events in ukraine and mr putin was asked by one of the journalists if russia was keen to return well heres what he said. A little g. 8 doesnt exist anymore how can i return to an organization which doesnt exist today its the g 7 regarding a potential format with 8 Member States we never reject any proposals some time ago it was russias turn to hold a g. 8 meeting but our partners didnt. And hed for now it seems that russia and the g 7 countries that were used to be known as the g 8 when russia was still part of it are on the different sides of the barricade when it comes to resolving the crisis in east ukraine however there are other issues like iran or disarmament or Climate Change in this case it seems that paris and moscow are. On the same page and clearly this is also a message to donald trump who recently tweeted that and manual macron shouldnt be speaking on behalf of the u. S. That tweet seem to be very angry but at least from what were hearing from emanuel macron here at fort bragg on song it seems that the french leader is not changing his mind. Reporting there those putin macron talks also touched on washingtons withdrawal from the intermediate range Nuclear Missile treaty the us has been busy conducting a missile test launch which would have come under that agreement weve got more details and reaction a little later in the program. Now another Headline News a social Media Network aimed at young british muslims has turned out to be part of the u. K. Government Counterterrorism Program reporting from london his saskia taylor. Basically what is a social News Platform the what being a popular term used to describe someone who is acutely aware of social justice issues especially racism and it uses bright colors its got a multan bold design and its basically a space 6 politically engaged young people to come together and discuss the bunny issues of the day. Were created for us to eat and you dont go. Away speakers just lies really which is you thought. The topic is off limits. Gender issues Climate Change veganism cats thats something for everyone and across all it sites has around 73000 for you follow us and one of its most successful videos has hit a 1700000 view mark so it does enjoy considerable popularity but if you scroll through its pages you can see that its content is primarily centered around discussions on british muslims identity and politics so alongside islamic holiday said it well wishes you also have debates about varying perspectives on terrorism for example now no one has had an issue with the content of but rather with its sponsor because a report has just revealed that the platform is the covert arm of a u. K. Government counterterrorism strategy now the home office has not been particularly forthcoming about with details of its involvement with wolk it has admitted that it has material from the project but refused to answer any further questions about the motives behind establishing at all or indeed what methods it uses allegedly on the grounds of National Security and its short statement on the issue didnt really help clarify anything father weve committed to using all the tools the bubel to come to the throne. From tourism in the u. K. The home office works and botanists it with a range of organizations to reduce vulnerabilities to organized criminal extremist interest throats in the u. K. Now its not just the wider public or users who arent told about the governments role the report also reveals that people who are invited on to woken actually featured in discussions one in form that it was a part of a home office an initiative this is an initiative called prevent that has caused great controversy since its implementation back in 2003 and thats being accused of a sentient being a state sanctioned spying and targeting muslim minorities so the revelation that wont is a part of that very project probably unsurprisingly was met with quite the backlash this complete absence of transparency is just one of many reasons why there is such little trust between muslim communities and government so angry about home office this is what situation i cant articulate myself how can the government expect muslims not to have trust issues with our government the betrayal of trust that we face at every level of every institution include an online spaces media platforms arts and cultural events civic life and Everything Else is on this list something i think everyone concerned with racism and all needs to be screaming about this is urgent a recent segment on wont discuss tackling fake news im sure the irony is not lost on many now that when they look at the platform and see it as a manufactured brand filled with content thats pushing secretly an agenda on behalf of the British Government so there are serious questions being raised especially in a country that was of course voted once as the most transparent in the world. Meanwhile facebook is expanding its fake news crackdown to its instagram platform as well a new program is reportedly being tested for the public to become their own Fact Checkers if authorized by facebook to do so posts can be marked fake or false and will then automatically be deleted from searches and hash tag pages for example someone might decide to post a false statement such as this one using the popular hash tag math expert a fact checker can then mark it as false and the post will never appear again under the hash tag social Media Privacy advocate bill mewe is skeptical he says facebook is struggling to monitor its own pages its when you get into pictures and primarily with video where things start to get really really difficult and at this moment in time the automated tools that theyre using cannot tell the difference between a cat a dog and a terrorist this moment and the humming certainly would lead you on facebook platform to use an enormous number of me or people who sit and do nothing but look through these videos to moderate them and to recognize them. Taking this sort of technique to instagram which is are largely a picture based medium oversee the same challenges are going to face them and if they havent got the resources to salute get on top of things on facebook you have to question whether theyve also got resources to police and on as world so i think what we need to see is accuracy and authenticity. The u. S. Has launched its 1st test of a 500 kilometer Cruise Missile since pulling out of a Bilateral Agreement between moscow and washington the i. N. F. Treaty was signed over 30 years ago to prevent the production and use of such weapons arties caleb morgan has more details. Well we have official word from the pentagon that indeed there has been a test of a missile that would have violated the intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty that treaty has now expired and the usa has conducted a test of a missile that would have violated it heres what we heard from the pentagon the department of defense conducted to fly test of the conventionally configured ground Cruise Missile the u. S. West coast sunday the test missile exited its ground mobile launcher and accurately in practice target after more than 500. 00 flight now the test was conducted on San Nicolas Island off the coast of california we understand furthermore that the test was announced on august 2nd the very day that the i. N. F. Treaty expired now the official reason for the United States withdrawing from the i. N. F. Treaty was that they accused russia of violating that agreement now russia has said they did not and denies violating this agreement weve also heard from russian president Vladimir Putin who emphasized that russia wont be the 1st to boost its military if the usa were not to escalate following the withdrawal of the treaty this is what the russian president said if we receive verified information that the u. S. Has finished developing and started producing the Systems Russia will be forced to begin its own full Scale Development of similar missiles so even after the United States withdrew from the i. N. F. Treaty we did not see an escalation from russia however the United States has proceeded to test this missile that would have violated the treaty now its important to remember that the i. N. F. Treaty was signed in 1987 and it was a key moment in the scaling down in deescalation and eventually end of the cold war however that i. N. F. Treaty that banned nuclear and missiles of a certain length is no longer in effect now russia has repeatedly reached out to the United States for dialogue around this issue but so far the conversation hasnt seemed to start. Well historian peter cooks nick says the u. S. Has been steadily reducing its open occasions and Arms Treaties for the past 18 years. United states has said that this is not Nuclear Capable and the United States is planning for another test probably in november this one and somewhere between 508000 kilometers a range but the one that theyre testing in november its miscreants 3004000 kilometers or range thats another in this series a very unfortunate moves that have been going on for the past couple of years at least well we can actually dated back to 2001 with the announcement that the u. S. Is going to clear the a. B. M. Treaty theres only one major nonproliferation treaty remaining the new start treaty which ends in 2021 and the United States has already indicated that it will almost certainly call out of that one also or not when they do that one which means we are on the verge of nuclear anarchy. Donald trump has launched a scathing attack on the New York Times accusing it of producing some of the worst journalism in history the outpost came often leaked or dio and most of the papers executive editor discussing how to cover the president and his administration in the wake of the russia gate scandal his ego out of. Frump is the russian acid this message of the not too carefully ciphered in articles and reports has been overwhelming americans and the New York Times seemingly used all the power and authority of its Award Winning journalism to propagate the message. But then came the miller report something that was and to support had to become the fatal blow to Donald Trumps credibility rebound ricocheted and had the media back with the momentum of a boomerang for the New York Times it meant this we built our newsroom to cover one story and we did it truly well now we have to regroup and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story this is part of a league transcript from dean baquet the New York Times executive editor giving a speech in front of the papers authors this shift hes talking about is far from good news for trump because apparently now the newspaper is going to degrade him from a russian puppet to something arguably much worse a racist. Race in the next year is going to be a huge part of the american story and i mean race in terms of not only africanamericans and their relationship with donald trump but latinos in immigration work to the near times for 15 years i think that the New York Times has immensely damaged its credibility by trumpeting this narrative trump was a russian agent certainly within the last few decades one of the most egregious journalistic failures a terrible terrible failing and. I find it disturbing that dean baquet the executive editor of the New York Times what will even acknowledge it mr also likes to put the New York Times on a pedestal for being one of the few remaining independent journalism sources out there except to believe that youd have to deliberately ignore the distinctive scent of partisanship reeking from the papers supposed new racism narrative donald trump publicly and unapologetically embraced a political strategy may hate racism and division hes a man who cosies out to the white supremacist has been about trying to divide us in a way that its been about trying to sell hate and division among us we have a president of the United States is a racist this is a guy who is worse than a racist he is actually using races tropes and racial language for political gain the newspaper might have begun to retroactively implement the changes since it recently changed the headline of one of its articles from this to this under the pressure from well the democrats so one thing is for sure race will be a huge part of the american story next year the president ial one what happened. The moeller report did not deliver as the New York Times and much of the other Mainstream Media promised that it would and from that transcript you see that they are going to pivot to another kind of campaign against trump which will be focusing on is racism but none of this is is journalism and some is a kind of switching of one moral crusade or self defined moral crusade with another their coverage of the russia gate of the russian collusion story was a huge flop and during that story critics accuse them of ignoring other things that trump was doing so now after russia after the russia collusion story has for off the times has decided to cover other issues like trump and racism but believe me theyll do a very bad job. Theyll get a lot of basic things wrong and and probably benefits dropped more than they will hurt in. The u. K. Has revoked the citizenship of a foam a Islamic State and it has left canada furious. Explains why. Well the u. K. Has stripped form of fighter jet lifts who has been dubbed by the media as jihadi jack of his british citizenship but not canada has criticized this they say that theyre disappointed in the decision dont forget that this jack lets also has Canadian Citizenship and a statement has been released by the Canadian Ministry of Public Safety terrorism knows no borders so countries need to Work Together to keep each other safe. Disappointed that the United Kingdom has taken this unilateral action to offload their responsibilities lets trucked out of university after converting to islam and moving to syria back in 2014 he participated in a number of battles before being taken hostage by could forces in june 2016 he gave an interview in which he said that his move to the middle east was part of the search for the truth and he denied having ever been involved in Islamic State its a controversial move by the United Kingdom that whenever it finds that its citizens are accused of being involved in some kind of terrorism it needs to strip them of the citizenship it was another case recently of begum who also went to live in syria under Islamic State now according to International Law no country can strip of posts and of their nationality if it leaves them homeless as it does in the case of begum lawyers representing her family have actually written to the home secretary and accused british authorities are failing to protect the teenager from being sucked in and being groomed by Islamic State the u. K. Has a long tradition of stripping its nationals of citizenship as a means of preventing them from returning to britain after they become accused of being involved in terrorist activities european human rights judges have also ruled that this is illegal and if the. We see at the moment is hundreds are foreign nationals who joined Islamic State and moved across to syria and iraq to fight in their ranks who are now being stripped of their nationality and being prevented from returning home or we spoke to author and political activist eve angler things canada has been put in a difficult predicament this is a very immoral decision by ear biting British Government its war on terror and i throw it on canadas table when hes clearly much more British Values canadian theres a segment of our coalition thats nervous about potential threats that these individuals may pose as they come back into the country theres a lot of concern about the ability to use us to gaze what may have contributed to really speak a syria or nuclear governments feels caught between pressure to. You know say this is all. Things are about the Rights Violations or crimes that these individuals in this case jack america made and theres also obviously lots of people in canada or you know worried about safety of someone like that. With almost daily warnings of an impending Global Climate catastrophe Germanys Green Party has been enjoying a surge in support among its ambitious Environmental Policies it is a plan to completely phase out domestic flights but overhauling the railways bunsen most germans on board with that paper all of it takes a closer look. Germanys green policies being in full bloom in the polls of late one of the most recent policies they put forward is a Railway Revolution all trains on a hike to schedule moving at a cheaper price waste that so why fight it with the ultimate aim of making the internal flights in germany i think of the past in the next 50 years by trying to city 5 who want to make domestic flights largely obsolete it with all of that said to cost the states around 3000000000. 00 euro a year but the rail passengers think of the proposal i definitely would support the policy i think i drive to take the pain more often at the trains 3 than the plane yeah if that whole net truck would have to be in a better condition going by train is really expensive and its not very complicated if youre doing a lot of traveling like meat its nearly impossible to prove all the wrong to germany on the big 3 so. The moment theres no alternative fuel for things because of the suv im not a frequent flyer but in that case i would abstain from flying altogether. My last minute ticket from munich cost me 50 euro if i took the bounce it would have been cheap but if i booked the way to that sounds it would have been a fraction of that cost everybody wants to see travel be quick and cheap bring them however how much of this plan is achievable and how much of it is just a headline. This would be a long way to go because it requires. Investments in infrastructure and so far germany is struggling since years to complete the railway in structure projects to 21. 00 which was supposed to make flights obsolete in the south of germany by allowing for fall. To rain kind of train connections between paris and the end of. The broadsheet this delay to paris become twice as costly as the planned time so yes i ask myself how is it going to be put into practice. Here we are in munich now the journey took just shore to find a vowel is under the proposed plans all journeys would have to be completed within 4 and its not just by lowering train phase that the hoping to get people to the plane and take the train its also by raising a if it is part of the plan is to put taxation on kerosene jet fuel on a level with taxation on petrol at 65 euro cents a liter currently depending on the length of the flight the passengers will pay up to around 40. 00 euro in taxes according to calculations from the German Environment Ministry increasing kerosene taxes could raise as much as 7000000000 euro are new really here at the wrong port in munich we found a real mixed bag of opinions when it came to getting people off planes and on to trains. It takes longer so i wouldnt want to have a a i was for so much that several hours i think it should be wise versus should be better to invest in the infrastructure of the trains etc cycles more and reliability better prices not going to take the train to bin laden where were going now. 10 hours pay like yeah the same of going to kill siegel kerosene into consideration i think trains are better but not in terms of speed. But when the trains dont go away you need to the only option available is the cost germany has the highest level of call rhona ship in the European Union and the germans love affair with the automobile certainly not going away anytime soon peter all of a.
