facing increased elevation of their souls which is you know rendering agriculture and what sorts of economic consequences for the region so that only booms in the pacific we have been hit by this crisis. and you know we really need everyone in the region particularly our larger partners australia to really be pushing ahead to do the right thing well this setback cambers push to counter chinese influence in the region you started off by saying australia has successfully kind of encircled itself or isolated itself toward how far do you think that isolation will go. you know well i mean australia has just recently announced that the new pacific foreign policy the pacific step up. but yeah at the moment it's a really fit that that starts in the region and given the geo political terrain we're now in it's really calling into question the so-called pacific step up and

you know it won't be any surprises that you pacific nations feel like they have a bit of a brain been trying to. all right we'll leave it there for now thank you so much for your thoughts on that norway says it will withdraw about $33000000.00 worth of protection subsidies for the amas and this follows germany's decision to hold money promise for forest protection in brazil both countries say present higher balls than are as right wing government isn't committed to fighting deforestation both scenarios criticized them saying they should focus on their own environmental problems so they to start from brazil space research institute indicators surgeon deforestation in the amazon in the last quarter. nasa scientists and engineers are flying over greenland tracking melting ice that's been accelerating during the past decade this summer has seen 2 of the biggest melts yet scientists say warmer and wars are are eating away at greenland causing it to lose

around the former cronies of the former president and all of that still in place in addition it's an additional military council set things up in a way that it seems there's a certain degree of immunity going forward at least for those who participated in the t.m.c. and who are name to those ministries in position to position of power so even though we are supposed to have investigations going forward it's unclear how much power the prime minister will have in order to reign in the you know the excesses of the former regime fighting is broken out across the line of control that divides the disputed region of kashmir with pakistani and indian forces exchanging gunfire pakistan says 3 of its soldiers and 5 indian troops were killed as india denies any fatalities among its forces so has been following that story from those offered a body in pakistan administered kashmir. pakistan's military has confirmed that 3

of pakistan as well where pakistani leaders have gone to high commissions and embassies of india one of one such large protest happened in london where the advisor to the prime minister also went the reason was that he told media that he wants to highlight the human rights violations that are being committed on the indian side of the border because it has been 12 days that india has not lifted its blockade on the kashmiri people pakistan insisting that 12000000 kashmiris are being held hostage by indian forces where they're not allowing any movement any congregation or basic telephone and internet services. the view from new delhi now with. the indian government is not here to officially responded to the news of ceasefire violations however one indian news agency has called it an unnamed indian official and said that a cease fire violation occurred box on my limited the ceasefire across the line of

in the occupied palestinian territories this weekend israel's move came quickly after u.s. president donald trump had tweeted saying it would have shown great weakness if israel allowed the women in he also reiterated his stance a few hours ago they are very anti jewish and they're very anti israel i think it's disgraceful the things they've said you have a list server this isn't just a one line mistake what they've said about israel and jewish people is a horrible thing and they've become the face of the democratic party so i did absolutely put out a very strong save and i think if you look at their language if you look at what they've said if i ever said it it would be it would be our horrible it would be our above month. to put it mildly so the things that they've said oh my are really what they've said is disgraceful so i can't imagine why israel would let them in

but if they want to let them in they can but i can't imagine why they would do it after making those comments held his 9th campaign rally of the year this time in new hampshire we lost the state hillary clinton the 2016 election. the prime minister of tommo was reportedly in tears as climate change was debated as a meeting of regional leaders the talks fell far short of what the smaller island nations hoped for australia push back against calls for greater action. fighting is broken out across the line of control that divides the disputed region of kashmir pakistan says 3 of its soldiers and 5 indian troops were killed india denies any fatalities among its forces and rein in all tank seized off the coast of gibraltar by british marines has been cleared to sail again it's people in power now

stay with us. after 25 years of affording the world's waist china for the global cycling industry into chaos. the growing pressure of the greenest skies is resulting in change we bring you the stories to the shaping the economic world we live in. counting the cost on al-jazeera. it's well known that the united states exports billions of dollars worth of arms to its allies which isn't as widely understood is that many of the guns it sends into was in the middle east so the remission manufactured in eastern europe so how do the supply routes function and waves of the weapons go in the 1st of a special trip cross investigation into u.s. arms sales giuliana rufus has been to investigate.

everywhere. there were 3 know that. you're controlling the. june 2007 efraim given rolly a 21 year old arms dealer from miami beach is negotiating a $300000000.00 ammunition for the u.s. plan to go on. his albanian contact caused attributes is secretly recording the conversation he wants to prove to vote he knows that the seller has links with organized crime. problem i don't have a choice the u.s.

government or. the united states needs weapons for its allies in the wars in afghanistan and iraq. the guns must be clashing across and other soviet style weapons it's what its allies are used to. its speed is of the essence. a year after the coup with give the rolly. tribute sky is dead many believe the albanian mafia has silenced him to stop him from speaking about the pentagon deal gone bad. rise to a scandal that was supposed to change how the american government lies weapons to its allies overseas but the question is has it we set out to investigate just how all these weapons find their way into some of the most fragile states on.

this is david peck who's he used to be did rowley's business partner the story of how the 2 young amateurs from miami beach turned into international brokers was so incredible that it became a hollywood blockbuster. they supplied the pentagon with 40 year old chinese ammunition that was stored in albania aboard really any business with us but what works with the chinese weapons were under us sanctions so they repackaged the ammo to hide its origin. in 20 lesson after new york times expose a different oh you went to jail but the crews got away with house of mist. so you guys didn't really have a background in that you were just 2 young guys in their twenty's why did you get contracts to supply arms and you mean why did they give us the contract. well they gave us the contracts probably because we were very very competitive we were what

they called the best value to the government. who says the would oaks movie fail to tell the whole story he insists the pentagon knew all along that he and his partner was supplying sanction chinese ammunition. his claim supported by documents that surfaced in court. they kept on taking deliveries i think like 3 deliveries a week of full aircraft loads of ammunition for like 4 or 5 months after they found out it was chinese. who says the pentagon was happy with the arrangements until the media got hold of the story how important was it for the u.s. army to get quick supplies operational necessity is a term that the military used when they wanted to say that they got to get this done one way or another and that meant that they were willing to overlook certain procedures and rules and safeguards that the administration had put in place. says

it's this operational necessity that drives the u.s. government to employ private companies it allows them to be one step removed because a lot of these suppliers in central europe. the eastern bloc may not have great reputations they may have supplied other people you know that have committed atrocities if they only deal with us companies who go out and then do their own deals and then the us government could wash their hands and say well we didn't know where it was coming from fast forward to 2015. americans supporting another war in the middle east but in syria it's supplying arms to rebels not 2 state forces. again the weapons us soviet style easy to use and so common in the region they're hard to trace if something goes wrong. when

i so controlled territory expands u.s. supplies stepped up. i'm pleased that congress has now voted to support a key element of our strategy a plan to train and equip the opposition in syria so they can help push back these terrorists this is exclusive footage of what one of the pentagon secretive projects looked like. again the u.s. government uses private companies to train its allies we're going to examine the outside. these men are highly experienced new fighters mike doherty and francis no we. they were in bulgaria to train on subject sell weapons that would be supplied to syrian rebels it seemed like a straightforward mission. but it would cost nobody you his life. my friends is no we you is survived by his wife and 2 young children.

yes i'm giuliana she has agreed to meet us. we're joined by mike doherty knew we was training. he was present when no we was killed. i was about 5 or 6 feet away and as he approached the launcher he literally raised the round and as soon as you started to slide it in and it detonated. and that's when everything just went white for me and died instantly read all the stuff errant way i was thrown into a concrete wall and you know the blast effect threw me back down against the ground and my hand was split down here and hanging in the other hand was had a big chunk of metal and then i just remember looking up and i saw our other colleague and his hand was hanging and his arm was use shattered or just tore up i started to to flip myself over to crawl and i start crawling towards him

and i passed. the multi-million dollar pentagon contract to train and equip it was received by a company called purple shovel but it seemed to be insufficiently prepared for the task. and mike say there were problems right from the start of warning a contract happened very quick and there were a lot of things that we we questioned why are we not doing medical why are we not doing threat brief some things like that it felt very rushed i remember francis saying that it just crashed and we really didn't understand the scope of what we were getting into. mike tells us the official investigation into what exactly happened in bulgaria seems to have stalled. it's still not clear what caused the

missile launch a 2 mile function. did the u.s. government's urgency to supply weapons mean safety procedures were ignored once more there wasn't until i would say over a year later that we learned that the ammunition was over 30 years old and over the last 30 to 40 years where was a stored what were the conditions during that storage and were they doing the right things to ensure that it was properly taken care of and that we don't know my can as suing the company i would request to travel to an interview was declined the company continues to receive u.s. government contracts it seems like the government just wants to put layers over this contract. so people don't really know much about it so we can do things outside of the military that are maybe a little bit more shady and. meanwhile the convert supply of weapons from south eastern europe continues. observers have

noticed that a small airport in riyadh croatia has become a major hub for the flow of oh most to the rules of the middle east. we have come here. to find out what type of weapons are used by the us government and how they are transported. because. rocket launchers can spottable garion rather missiles you can spot mortar shells. yelena is a member of the balkan investigative reporting network together with the organized crime and corruption reporting project they have spent 2 years tracking the pentagon's secret weapon shipments into syria we have set up a joint investigation this one was produced in serbia it's ok our team of. upping the syrian battleground the u.s. government publishes information about federal contracts online. yelena and her

colleagues have used this database to calculate the u.s. government's expenditure on soviet style weapons. since 2015 until 2022 pending will spend or $2200000000.00 us dollars what do you know about the routes how weapons from balkan countries go to the middle east they go through turkey jordan. qatar and saudi arabia so that's all u.s. allies u.s. allies exactly exactly yelena had been investigating a plane they departed from riyadh the airport 5 days earlier which she believes carried weapons to the middle east. you can see tongue fight where there are the words that this plane took several town and you can see places such as r r ion and kata exactly and also to has flights number marked which is very specific for the

planes that are actually transporting military goods. this is footage of the plane yelena tracked it has been loaded with crates at least 20 u.s. military flights have left this airport in the past 6 months. and when we arrive at the airport we to see a play pool. this is one of the busiest airports when it comes to playing such as this one. is from the same airline yelena had been investigating various really is pretty nuts it's just in the middle of a traffic junction. they are about to take all. their weapons there their problem. there is this huge fights that are happening it's running a little they need war there though.
