headlines in r.t. the price of power britain's prime minister hands a billion pounds to northern ireland's d u p party in exchange for supporting her minority government. donald trump scores a major legal victory is the u.s. supreme court partially reinstates his travel ban on people from six muslim majority countries. and we hear from the u.s. democratic congresswoman who is pushing to stop washington supplying arms to extremist groups in syria. each time we have these wars it has resulted in the strengthening of terrorist groups.

even come to life from moscow you're watching international now the british prime minister has struck a deal with northern ireland's democratic unionist party to prop up a conservative government but it does come at a high price with tourism a promising the d p a billion pounds in return for their support we have reached an agreement with the conservative party on support for a government in parliament this agreement will operate to deliver a stable government in the united kingdom's national interest at this vital time but as we said the tory government to get that his promise to invest in additional one billion pounds in northern ireland the agreement would also see to resume a backtrack on a number of election pledges including reforms to pensions and benefits while the pay is also agreed to change some of its policies too and to see breaks down the.

it's been over two weeks now since this crash and burn snap election called by theresa may that took place on june eighth leaving the country with an unexpected hung parliament and now it looks like we do indeed have a deal between to reset may's conservative party and the democratic unionists of northern ireland in terms of what specifically has been agreed we do know that the g p have been promised one billion pounds within the next several years of financial support and one stepping stone that's been quite important and watch since we do know that the d p have been quite insistent on not being huge fans of a hard brags that we have heard now that they have agreed that an exit from the e.u. will benefit all parts of the u.k. a documents that they have released doesn't get into very much detail this is an agreement that so-called can for confidence and supply which is a bit of a different format and even with the way that statements have been made on how this deal was reached we did see the do you peel leader speak separately there was no

joint press conference so certainly we're just going to be waiting for theresa may to address this deal later on they do hasn't please everybody in opposition m.p. for the labor party has called the deal rageous and says it is an attempt to stay in power by throwing money at northern ireland we've got reaction from two political analysts. i think it makes the obviously makes position more secure because with the do you prefer they have a working majority of thirteen of course it only applies to confidence and supply matters government isn't going to get much of a legislative program through but that was over didn't in the thin nature of the queen's speech clearly the conservatives want to do in this triple locum pensions and they also want to mean states the winter flow fuel allowance that is played to pensioners those particular promises and also the so-called dimentia tax the new social care policies rufo very unpopular with the electorate so in a sense it's save the conservatives what could have been a great deal of trouble with some of their own supporters who were very unhappy

about these changes and it's going to make it more difficult for the conservatives to balance the books which they're having problems with anyway in terms of trying to reduce the budget deficit to a manageable level the people of northern ireland have a city been sold short or sold out you might say by the peak because actually the deal that the d.v.r. signed up to although it's got this you know immediately of one billion extra one billion pounds of extra investment in infrastructure health and education but it's at the expense of the long term interests of the people of northern ireland so even with do you piece support the government's majority is very slender it's likely to wither away as over the over the course of the parliament well i'm all in favor of theresa may stepping down and she's been a disaster for the last i don't think any successor from the conservatives would have had any easier job of. of negotiating some kind of supply and

confidence arrangement with the u.p.a. or anyone else. in other news tonight the u.s. supreme court is partially reinstated donald trump's travel ban on people from six muslim majority countries the decision comes five months after the controversial executive order calling for the restrictions was originally issued it will mean that people from those countries who don't have any connection to the united states will not be allowed in for ninety days and in the case of refugees one hundred twenty president trump has called the ruling a clear victory for national security with the details he's alexy our ships. the travel ban has been one of his most controversial decisions controversial promises made during the campaign maybe along with the promise to build the wall on the mexican border and. try to implement the travel ban just weeks after he officially became president he faced a lot of backlash she faced a lot of protests and legal action in fact this all went into the courts in march

he had to revise the travel ban to accommodate you know all the things that the protesters and those protesting the ban have been saying but basically everybody was against it activists in the streets the media and the courts itself of the two federal courts overturned that ban and now the supreme court bar chile allows this to happen saying that visitors from six predominantly muslim countries like iran libya somalia sudan syria and yes then the ban on them could be enforced as long as they lack a credible claim of bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the united states and also the one hundred twenty day long ban on refugees will also be partially implemented now trump all along has been saying that the decision to protest this ban of hears and to fight this in court was cause not by legal reasons to the decision to the roots or to the so you believe the judges need a situation. of their country does its thing and it's

a very serious situation so we look forward to actually just to see them it's a decision that will. in my opinion very easily second the supreme court will convene again to review the cases after the limited ban takes a fact. fourteen police officers were injured in london on sunday after a protest against police brutality turned violent the rally was held following the death of a black man after a traffic stop. reports. i . have. no doubt. it all started last night but it carried on into the early hours of the

morning and protesters here were throwing rate the mounted police station they were throwing a beer bottles as well and they were trying to access the building the reason they were so angry was they were demonstrating over the death of a twenty five year old local black man his name was federico holster locally he was known as ed said he was a comic cannick he was pulled over by police when he was in his car earlier this month and campaigners say he was brutally beaten some reports even that he may have died as a result of his neck being broken and he died in hospital six days off of that initial incident with the police so the protesters that we had last night set was saying that all they want to know is how mr de costa died take a listen. also if we can give you all says. their family members will

cry you more will cry you should live. from the way. they will going to buy if you don't see that the police should have called more you will be difficult but they will take you into their own hands so many people are police the police cover up the corruption who will prosecute you nobody so really interview can you blame the public for being angry and upset but obviously this is a sensitive issue because we know that these things are happening on the cover you know behind closed doors and many people will not get into here actually go in on the street the people say well. no it doesn't happen anymore that racism is not like it was. going on is happening just behind closed doors or the metropolitan police have said in a statement that as he was being detained mr hosty big paid well they've also confirmed that no police officers have been suspended as every result of this

incident with mr de costa the police won't stop here in the u.k. is investigating what led to his death it's the independent police complaints commission and they've already said that in the initial post mortem carried out on mr de coster hasn't indicated that he died from spinal injuries. the guardian newspaper has run a headline accusing russia of being behind a cyber attack on the u.k. parliament on saturday that is despite the fact that the intelligence sources it relies on don't actually directly make that claim with as many as ninety accounts belonging to m.p.'s and peers were compromised as a result of the hack more than ten thousand people were told to change their passwords and politicians were also denied access to their emails on devices outside of westminster as a precaution russian hackers have a short but quite remarkable history too of accusations being thrown their way at the moment it all started you might remember the alleged meddling of the us

presidential election in twenty sixteen france russians were accused of a massive e-mail breach of then french presidential candidate emanuel but the french government cyber security agency actually later dismissed those allegations and then in another unfounded case russia was accused of attacking an american power grid in the state of vermont and it doesn't stop there either will carry on more recently russian hackers were blamed for sending out fake messages on behalf of the qatari government sparking the govt biggest. matic crisis in decades and then there is today's allegations reported in the british media saying that moscow is the main suspect in a cyber attack on the case parliament political analyst chris bambery says that despite the media allegations there's nothing solid to suggest russia is responsible you have to start by saying there's no hard evidence whatsoever the russian government is behind this this is

a suspicion suspicion has been presented almost as fact and so much of the bridge british media but i think also any of you and i want to think about who might have it in for the british government internationally and the worst of culprits would be a very lengthy one indeed to give you britain's involvement in various wars and adventures around the world so why it narrows down to russia i don't really know i mean no north korea has also been mentioned it would seem to me that what information you get from m.p.'s mailbag is more useful to those interested in crime rather than national security. ok let's go back to one of our main stories this hour the u.s. supreme court is partially reinstated donald trump's travel ban on people from six muslim majority countries and joining us now to discuss that decision and also its implications is political activist anthony brian logan. anthony welcome to r.t. we heard donald trump saying that this is all in the interests of national security

do you think it will help security or absolutely you've got to stop the flow of people coming from these countries that are very dangerous we see was going on right now in europe from somebody sane people to come from these very dangerous places place where we have a lot of negative. so i think it just makes logical sense it's a bigger things under control it's very it's an awful lot of opposition oh isn't it i mean if if the decision was that simple to improve security many people have pointed out logistically to you it is a nightmare to impose. well i mean it's not really that difficult you know just a matter of yes or encourage you're not able to come here and that's pretty much the end of it is not really that difficult anything is about a deterrent because some people when they know it's a heightened level of security maybe don't think twice about trying to come over here maybe to think twice about trying to carry out a terror plot in their home country or over here in general say no more eyes are on them and seems to believe this does sort of vindicate his initial proposal was

previously he was thinking will certainly suggesting that it was blocked because of people not liking him personally what you'll be wiser the decision changed he think because you don't want a supreme court you know we have five percent of justice is in the supreme court and it says it came from the lower courts i think it came from derek watson in hawaii who was a friend of iraq obama obama said that he worked for him when he went to school together and obama lived in hawaii for a while so there's a little bit of a connection there barack obama also because it's a hawaii forty hours before the injunction came from derek watson so that's kind of a little fishy to air so that kind of makes since i think a supreme court they made the right decision rather than a lower court which may have a personal and political motivations behind a decision do you think we'll see the protests again that we similarly when the travel ban was first proposed nationwide. there's always protests or something united states is always something doesn't matter somebody gets shot by police just or unjust it says. there was

a protest when talking about the health care bill that went through the senate and has not gone through all the way minister has been approved but just because it's been proposed there was protests about this so there's always going to be protests all the gold for that it is not some valley and the supreme court also says we should mention that it's going to review the ban in october what are your predictions then what will happen in i'll tell you bill. i think it will stand i think what has been proposed right now awaits and if it right now will stand because the entire to abandon that i think you have a cab for people that have been injured or sick relative so you are to come over here for that reason but beyond that they could hold and is not a permanent band interest in any way so i think by that time to pretty much it won't be any more changes. until he thanks for coming on to say that was political activist anthony bryan logan in virginia in the u.s. thank you. you. know if lee center right parties delivered

a significant blow to the center left government in sunday's merril elections they made gains and sixteen out of twenty five key municipalities and one of the biggest victories was in the northern port city of genoa which has been a traditional left wing stronghold for more than fifty years. reports this looks like a resoundingly victory for center right parties and a big blow to the ruling democratic party which is the center left coalition now what we've seen in this is that many of the winners who were from center right parties were actually backed by a former prime minister silvio berlusconi very famous a man who was ousted from parliament back in two thousand and thirteen over a tax fraud conviction now what people are suggesting is that these results could see an overwhelming call for the center right parties to really unite into one party to be a force at that general election which i must take place before may of twenty

eighteen now that comes of the many voters say that they are disaffected and unhappy with the current government which is led by the democratic party that center left party and that's because of three main issues one of them is the migration of italy is seeing thousands of migrants coming into its shores mainly on areas like the island of lampedusa with people arriving from north africa and italy is struggling to deal with that it's also been struggling to deal with a timid economy for many years it has a high rate of unemployment currently at around eleven or twelve percent and more than that its banking sector it's been in dire straits for many years bad debts in the banking center account for around a third of the total debt in the euro zone that's three hundred and fifty billion euros and just on sunday to further banks have to be bailed out yet again to the tune of more billions of euros and many people are unhappy about that. so the suggestion is if somebody like silvio berlusconi can overturn his ban be able to

run again for public office can reunite sort of the center right parties then we could see a dramatic shift in politics before the next year is over. russian investigators looking into the some petersburg metro bombing in april so that the attacker and his accomplices use an encrypted messaging service to plan and carry out the atrocity kevin owen went over the details with earlier. the telegram messaging app is famous for its outstanding levels of privacy with all the encryption but the secret chats just to remind you almost three months ago a suicide bomber killed fifteen people in the st petersburg metro and the investigation into that got to the point when the russian federal security service are saying that at all stages of the preparation both the attacker and whoever assisted him in russia and abroad were using telegram another thing that they are

saying is that telegram with all its encryption features has become the most widely used app by terrorist organizations in russia when it comes to messaging now just a little earlier russia's communications regulator zor said that it could be days away from blocking telegram russian authorities have demanded that the telegram team provide access to the chats and their crypto keys when and if needed to which the founder of said no and he also added that the privacy and the people's right to it is more important than the fear of terrorism the course is not just telegram there are others as well that a guest could conceivably be used by terrorists as well there's the general public that's got nothing to do with terrorism and genuinely they really praised all the

new features that these take this thing out so now like telegram are offering with the new levels of privacy but the authorities are on high alert and they're absolutely not happy with these loopholes and perhaps that is justified because two research organizations have published at least one hundred reports of the hottest organizations using telegram in the past you were saying that there are other apps that are grading their encryption facilities like watson app developers of that got on. of fire in the u.k. after the terrorist attacks in britain and that was criticism on a very high profile level we want companies to develop tools to identify and remove harmful materials automatically i want to see them report this file contents to the oil storage is and block the users who spread it there should be no place for terrorists to hide we need to make sure that organizations like whatsapp and there are plenty of others like that don't provide a secret place for terrorists to communicate with each other we need to make sure

that our intelligence services have the ability to get into situations like encrypted whatsapp kevan but the great threat is still out there and since the number of terrorist attacks in europe has only been increasing i guess it is fair to say that the authorities failed to contain it and now they are saying that the only way for them to do it is get access to the chats and crypto keys so in the near future we are bound to hear more debate on that the usual thing security versus privacy we spoke with russian affairs analyst and also historian martin mccauley and he says that russia is not the only country facing security issues with encrypted messaging. there's going to be an enormous amount of traffic on these apps which provide a certain level of security because you have the same thing you do united states with the f.b.i. tried to force. keys to be revealed to them and the answer was no we're not going to do that because. matter of privacy and secrecy the constitution guarantees

previously of correspondence and so on and it's an extremely difficult area new countries really broken this code because the these. people can in fact send. messages like my mother my mother died last thursday and then you have the difficulty of working out what does that really mean so you may have enormous amount of texts and so on which the authorities can look at because if you take. the e-mails and you take i phone and all the i phone messages they can all be intercepted worldwide in the americans french and to the same they do that the americans the russians do the same the chinese do the same. now the conflict in syria has seen a potentially dangerous new development for the israeli military bombing syrian government positions for the second time in as many days a middle east correspondent poor slayer reports now from tel aviv. the israelis

claim that these strikes are in retaliation for cross border shelling from the syrian military earlier this morning monday there were again reports that idea of tanks had fired across the border after another round of mortar fire from syria landed in the israeli side of the golan heights but the israeli army has since said that these reports of foles however regarding the earlier two incidents of syrian shells landing in israel there's been no proof that in fact it was the syrian military that fired those shells damascus has said that its forces are currently battling terrorists in the area so there's no way to pinpoint exactly who fired the shells damascus has now accused israel of effectively providing cover for the terrorists by bombing the syrian military is one of course has been illegally according to the international community occupying the golan heights since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven israel's bombing of the syrian government forces comes just a week after the u.s. u.s.

led coalition shot down as syrian military jet and manned drone u.s. officials often say that they like to lead by example and in this case it seems to apply to what is not doing when the states and its allies target the syrian military with. that of course stands as a signal to other countries that they might be able to get away with the same kind of thing and as i mentioned the syrian government is fighting about on the street terrorists near the border as well well this might just be another example noting because russia has recently accused the u.s. of failing to target this very same terrorist group. we're still seeing a case of double standards for what we've seen in the fight against terrorism in syria were under the impression that these so-called job or. whatever it's called now is being speared on every occasion by the u.s. led coalition and its allies now russia hold its military cooperation in syria with a u.s. led coalition after the downing of that syrian fighter jet last week

a. and this latest escalation from israel's bombing of the syrian military is simply a slippery slope for this truly international conflict which is being fought on so . for me u.s. diplomats and trust thinks the timing of these ready strikes on the syrian military is suspicious. for the israelis to say that they will protect their border that's lead because side the question what the status of the golan is the bigger question is this is there is there something more behind this then just the israelis responding to what they meant as an errant lending of syrian missiles on their side of the border the anti-government forces in syria are on the ropes that the the basques government is making great gains that there is concern to these terrorist forces by as we know saudi arabia qatar and these other countries with the silent backing of israel and of course the participation of the united states

are in big trouble and for these really what that means is that they are quite clear about this that they don't want to see forces allied with iran on their border particularly hizbollah and i think that's the real concern that they're expressing through this action whether it will grow into something major i don't know. meanwhile the u.s. government's agenda in syria is coming under increasing scrutiny on capitol hill democratic will make it attempting to push a controversial bill through congress that would prevent washington from terrorists and their allies in syria however the draft is only attracted the support of fourteen of the u.s. will make its we must stop this madness we must stop arming terrorists i'm introducing the stop arming terrorist act today to prohibit taxpayer dollars from being used to support terrorists but the u.s. congresswoman to expand on that to the conference in new york cold discourses on

terrorism. i and many others are working hard to continue to build support for this legislation with the goal of getting it passed and ending this policy i think that there has been a concerted effort to both on the part of some of the media as well as many in politics and many in our foreign policy establishment who have been advocating for a continuance of these regime change wars really ignoring the fact of what has been the consequence of these wars in countries like iraq and libya and syria where each time we have waged these wars it has resulted in the strengthening of terrorist groups like al qaeda or the creation of isis and it has resulted in a tremendous amount of suffering and death from the people of these countries. international thanks being with us tonight and you stay with us too because we've got going underground coming up next and that looks at the biggest challenges

facing the u.k.'s prime minister at the moment staying in power and they get a good deal. again on this edition of the program we focus on real news this time is the war in

syria escalating so he's driving the latest in the qatar saudi arabia saga and so many have like an extended version. if. you really. look.
