the price of power britain's prime minister hands a billion pounds to northern ireland. exchange for supporting a minority. donald trump schools a major legal victory is the u.s. supreme court partially reinstate his travel ban on people from six muslim majority countries and also this hour in r.t. 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.
3:01 pm
are welcome has just turned ten o'clock here in moscow you were watching. the british prime minister has struck a deal with northern ireland's democratic unionist party to prop up a conservative government but it comes at a high price with a resume a promising the d.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 so the tory government then has promised to invest an additional one billion pounds in northern ireland and the kareen wynter also see treason may backtrack on a number of election pledges including reforms to pensions and benefits while the d.d.p. is also agreed to change some of its policies to and this is a breakdown in the. it's been over two weeks now since this crash
3:02 pm
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.o.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 do you 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. of documents that they have released doesn't get into very much detail this is an agreement that's so-called conflict confidence and supply which is a bit of a different format and even with the way that statements have been made on how this
3:03 pm
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 and it hasn't please everybody in opposition m.p. for the labor party is called the deal just an attempt to stay in power by throwing money 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 means test 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 are very unhappy
3:04 pm
about these changes 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 assumed been sold short or sold out you might say by the. because actually that the deal that the deal here 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 the you peace support the government's majority is very slender and 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 as she's been a disaster for the last i don't think any successor to her from the conservatives would have had any easier job of. of negotiating some kind of supply and
3:05 pm
confidence arrangement with the d.p. or anyone else. the u.s. supreme court is partially reinstated donald from the travel ban on people from six muslim majority countries the decision comes five months after the controversial executive order calling for their strict ins was originally issued and it will mean that people from those countries who don't have any connection to the united states will not be allowed in the ninety days and in case of refugees one hundred twenty present from called the ruling a clear victory for national security like sherry if you have a shift as more. 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
3:06 pm
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 yemen 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 it's a little decision to the roots of the so you believe the judges need a situation. of their country does its thing and it's
3:07 pm
a very serious situation so we look forward actually just to see them it's a decision that will be. in my opinion very easily. in 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. have a. look at. it all started last night but it carried on into the early hours of the
3:08 pm
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 saying that all they want to know is how mr de costa died take a listen. we just want. to give you all says. their family members.
3:09 pm
more will cry you should live. show taking the way. they will going to buy if you don't think the police should have called more you will be different 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 saw really interview can you blame the public for being angry not saying well 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 are not getting to here actually go in on the street the people say well. no it doesn't happen anymore racism is not like it was. just. all the much police have said in a statement that as he was being detained. well also that no police officer has been suspended and every result of this incident with.
3:10 pm
the police more still here in the u.k. is investigating what led to his death the independent police complaints commission and they've already said that in the initial. carried out on mr. hasn't indicated that he died from spinal injuries. reporting reaction from one. group and he says it is often difficult for anybody in authority to be held to account. but think there's a real problem with the number of black men that end up dead after an encounter with the police and this far too many of a thousand people have died at the hands of the police of the last ten years to a year all these deaths are always unexplained and usually the victim is to blame and we think that something is terribly going wrong in terms of the impact of the police in the black community the police officers have not been suspended we think
3:11 pm
this is a gross misconduct in any other occupation if you were involved in the death of somebody you'd be suspended until there was actually clear evidence that you were not involved in that killing otherwise what you have set up is a system in which there is a difference of people that have been doing valving wrongdoing and there's no means of bringing them to account in other words the police judge themselves to be innocent and there's no way of actually proving the and it's a cover up because these deaths keep happening and nobody's ever held responsible for them. now the guardian newspaper has run a headline accusing russia of being behind a cyber attack on the u.k. parliament on saturday despite the fact that the intelligence sources it relies on don't directly make that claim with as many as ninety accounts belonging to m.p.'s in peers were compromised as a result of the hacking more than ten thousand people were told to change their passwords and politicians were also denied access to their emails on the vices
3:12 pm
outside of westminster as a precaution while russian hackers have have a short but quite a remarkable history of accusations being thrown their way it all started you might remember with the alleged meddling of the us presidential election in two thousand and sixteen then then over in france russians were accused of a massive e-mail breach to then french president presidential candidate emmanuel macron but the french government cyber security agency later dismissed the 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 end there even we can have a look at more more recently russian hackers were blamed for sending out fake messages on behalf of the guitar in government sparking the gulf biggest diplomatic crisis in decades and then the today's allegations reported in the british media saying that moscow are the main suspects in the cyber attack on the u.k. parliament will political analyst chris bambery says that despite the media
3:13 pm
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 viewer might 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 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 through our m.p.'s mailbag is more useful to those interested in crame rather than national security. it's least center right parties to live a significant blow to the center left government in sunday's merril elections they made gains in sixteen out of the twenty five key ministers palaces and one of the
3:14 pm
biggest victories in the northern port city of genoa which has been the traditional left wing stronghold for more than fifty years charlotte dubinsky 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
3:15 pm
center left party and that's because of three main issues one of them is the migration emergency 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 is 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 fifty billion euros and just on sunday two 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
3:16 pm
a dramatic shift in politics before the next year is over. russian investigators looking into these simply to metro bombing in april so the attacker and his accomplices use an encrypted messaging service to plan and carry out the city over known went over the details with. 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
3:17 pm
used app by terrorist organizations in russia when it comes to messaging now just a little earlier russia's communications regulator ross called zoar 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 guess could conceivably be used by terrorists as well there's the general public that's got nothing to do with terrorism and genuinely really praised all the new features that these tech thing out there now like telegram are offering with the new levels of privacy but the authorities are on high alert and they're absolutely
3:18 pm
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 guy . under 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 all 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 seven but the great threat is still out there and since the
3:19 pm
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 problems. we spoke with russian affairs analyst and historian to martin mccauley 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 secrecy because you have the same thing you do know 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
3:20 pm
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 an 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 could 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 russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov and his american counterpart rex tillerson and just held a phone call to discuss the war in syria it does come to you as tensions in the country pate following the downing of a syrian government plane by u.s. forces just over a week and joins us live now for more details good evening to you kalib what more
3:21 pm
then do we know about the conversation. well at this point what reports are just surfacing about the phone call now we do know this conversation was initiated by u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson and the conversation focused on the crisis in syria they talked about the need to consolidate the cease fire existing in the country and the necessity to fight against terrorist groups and to block against the use of chemical weapons now urged measures to prevent provocations against syrian government troops now this this important conversation comes in the aftermath of the downing of a syrian government jet as well as the fact that the united states had recently down two different syrian government drones there also been a number of provocative attacks on syrian government forces infantry by the united states so the conversations seem to be very important and seem to serve the purpose
3:22 pm
of working toward consolidating the crisis and keeping the ceasefire intact. with the latest from washington well meanwhile the u.s. government's agenda in syria is coming under increasing scrutiny on capitol hill democratic lawmaker to see as attempting to push a controversial bill through congress that would prevent washington from terrorists and their allies in syria however draft is only attracted the support of fourteen of the u.s. . 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 when we did ask the u.s. congressman to expand on that at a conference in new york called 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
3:23 pm
a concerted effort to both on the part of some in 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 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. you're watching r.t. international have the headlines more news for you in just over half an hour's time before that though the diplomatic crisis on the arabian peninsula is up for discussion in cross talk.
