thank you for watching r.t. international broadcasting live from moscow i'm kate partridge. but i am strong and russia never seem to be out of the headlines but now it's the president's son the spotlights turning on it all concerns a meeting he held with a russian lawyer jury in his father's election campaign and let's get all the details from khaled willfulness he joins me live now from new york hello again caleb while the story as we know has been circulating for several days now but trying judy and has just released a new statement what more can you tell us. well it began over the weekend with allegations from the new york times and now donald trump jr has released e-mails on the surface the story looks like a bombshell bombshell and mainstream media was jubilant saying they had finally had

and they finally materialize this story of trump russia collusion let's take a listen to what the mainstream press had to say breaking news report now maggie haberman reporting in the new york times and it is really something that donald trump's son think he was about to get help from a russian lawyer with ties to the kremlin intent to collude with the russian government and that is a giant turn in this unfolding story. the national weather service in mount holly new jersey issued a severe thunderstorm warning for southwestern atlantic county in southern new jersey northeastern cumberland county in southern jersey southeastern salem county in southern new jersey southeastern gloucester county in southern new jersey until

why was no information provided at no point was any information about hillary clinton ever provided at the end of the day it all comes down to whether you personally want to see anything here and if you really want to see this is an example of trump colluding with russia i guess one could read that into it but at the end of the day if you're critical of thinking and you look over these e-mails that have been released to donald trump jr has made them available to the public you're going to have more questions than answers and it's going to going to become pretty clear there's not much here. yes indeed wolf in from new york thank you very much indeed. now it's summer in full swing in europe british holiday makers have been asked to watch this video on how to survive a terror attack before booking their flights abroad.

well the video includes scenes of a hotel under siege and a clear reference to the deadly terror attack on british tourists in tunis here two years ago in which thirty britons were killed playboy went on to the streets of london to find out if such tips cost don't clouds over holiday moods british police have now released a video showing british terrorists how to react in case they get caught up in a terrorist attack if there is a safe route to get out now this is the best option it outrages people to think of the instructions in the same way they think about airline safety videos everyone is a we have you going to need a plane you got safety briefing of what she taught and if the plane came down and that's what we're trying to see here that the chances are very unlikely there's just giving you the knowledge of what to do and what not to do if you're caught up

in such an attack kind of what's your response to that kind of way this d.v.d. i. mean spics tree is over in the state are you going on on a summer holiday that i know of those may be quite scared to go for was the really that worked right that will find it quite scary religious terrorists now with a big gun on the train is quite pretty frightening this internet that definitely would make me wary about traveling the kind of that we are today like everything is about terrorism and stuff but that just adds more to your stress you know what's going on today to kind of relax not to think about potential terrorist attacks. i think it's a bit scary if they could just travel in the head in a change in what's going to happen next feel less safe everywhere there's a fire or a terrorist attack every day he said it's like you do worry generally more about even trying to get out to get your deity shot sometimes can't you worry kind of a new reality to have you know it is here but if you're safe. would it change your

plans this kind of thing watching this kind of video. today. wouldn't deter you from going away not. just to deal with the. police say there's no specific intelligence that british holidaymakers are going to be targeted but they still want you to watch the film before packing your beach bags. and it's not only people having to adapt to the terrorist threat insurance companies are now offering special policies that cover terrorism there are also various counterterrorism courses tara survival guides being offered to the public former british army intelligence officer chris hunter says modern day terrorism has created a new reality we're definitely living in a different worlds the you know the rise in islamist extremist terrorism is unprecedented and i think you know just looking at it from a domestic perspective when i was growing up in the you know in britain in the

early eighty's i remember the provisional ira threats but they used to give coded warnings they didn't actually want to kill civilians with islamist extremist terrorism it's a completely different mindsets and a completely different threats so we have to take the threat seriously and we have to be prepared to either forego some of our civil liberties or you know we say ok we'll just live with the terrorist threats and keep getting killed. we while a muslim radio station in england has broadcast twenty five hours of al qaeda lectures coring for a holy war his licenses since being revoked by the communications regulator ofcom him on f.n. ed speeches by anwar al or larky he was killed in a u.s. drone strike in yemen in twenty eleven he was a radical american muslim cleric of yemeni origin the u.n. security council states he was a leader recruit and train al qaeda in the arabian peninsula he's also suspected of

having had links to the nine eleven hijackers while i'm on f.n. says he was unaware of the radical content of the speeches chris hunter says communities have to do more to tackle the promotion of radicalism. twenty five hours of evil hatred and vitriol and it once i'm monitored and crucially not for monitoring all broadcast but somebody gave these people a license presumably if they were broadcasting illegally the real issue with this is that there are so many different mediums through which terrorists can actually propagate their message any developed country in the world are not going to have the resources to actually stop it in its tracks to monitor all of these publications so there is a huge emphasis and moral obligation on the communities in which all of this media is actually being propagated. now belgium's ban on the full face niqab in public

doesn't violate any rules that's according to a decision by the european court of human rights the ruling comes after two muslim women trying to get the move legally overturned shiela do bensky has more well this case was brought by two women a belgian national and a moroccan who said that it was their choice to wear the kneecap this is the veil covering which covers everything but their eyes and that because of that this band had actually in finished their freedoms and they said that the law was discriminatory but the european court of human rights disagreed saying that however controversial the ban was it was necessary in a democratic society and it said it was necessary to guarantee that he cygnus of living together now other countries in europe have also said that they are considering a ban with politicians from across europe now supporting the idea including germany's chancellor angela merkel. interpersonal communication which

plays a crucial role show how thesis that's why the true face veil is not appropriate and should be banned wherever legally possible. for. we oppose the full body veil not just the burka but also any of the veil that hides the you. it's not something that belongs to our open society to show your face is part of communication your existence. that's why we urge everyone to show their face. and somebody to me it's a symbol of female enslavement it's a vision of women that we have to oppose now several other countries have already instituted a ban on a full fail covering in the public areas that schools hospitals government buildings such as in france in two thousand and eleven where women who go out and wear a full veil covering whether they are french nationals or tourists facing a fine while those who force women to wear a full veil covering could face a fine of up to thirty thousand euros and time in jail in the netherlands m.p.'s

have already back the idea of this yet it's not become law but european countries are not the only ones that have instituted a ban or are considering it the african country of chad which is a muslim majority country actually instituted a ban on the full face covering back in two thousand and fifteen and that was following two suicide attacks in the country and they said it was necessary to prevent terrorism in future. reports claim the u.s. is looking to build up its military presence in libya amid a recent increase in violent clashes outside tripoli. according to the country's health ministry the latest shooting left at least four people dead including civilians dozens more injured parties point to sneer has the latest on the libyan crisis. the clashes have broken out east of the libyan capital of tripoli between forces that are aligned to the un unity backed government in

tripoli it took over last year it's known as the government of national accord and it's been struggling to maintain its control over the capital city now those forces are battling it out with forces that are loyal to the former libyan prime minister the whale they were pushed out of the libyan capital in may this year and at the time they issued a statement to launch a counterattack and since then have been planning to regroup they refuse to recognize this government of national accord now the health ministry has said that at least four people have been killed we understand that two of them are civilians they're foreign workers and at least twenty one people have been injured the clashes broke out on sunday evening at the same time this fighting in libya's second largest city of benghazi where we're hearing from rebel forces there that they closing in on a three year campaign to take over the city now all of this is part and parcel of the chaos that has engulfed libya since two thousand and eleven when the former libyan dictator moammar gadhafi was overthrown since and there have been various

militias and administrations that has been vying for control of those oil rich country now the latest developments really expose the vulnerability of those in backed government it has been struggling as i say to maintain control it has managed to co-opt some of the various groups there but at the same time it's made little progress in terms of really integrating them and providing lost and security in this latest round of violence we see that there is heavy light and medium weaponry being used we know that power lines have been hit people have been fleeing their homes a lot of residents complaining that their homes have been shelled have been damaged shops have been damaged roads have been closed and people are struggling to make their way back home. now about one of our top stories over five thousand eight hundred civilians. many have been killed by iraqi and u.s. led coalition forces in mosul in the last four months that's the latest estimate

from human rights organization amnesty international and its new reports the group says pro-government forces relied upon imprecise weapons during the liberation of west mosul and ignored the growing number of civilian deaths it also claims pro baghdad troops appear to have repeatedly violated international humanitarian law something that may amount to war crimes when amnesty international collected testimony from those displaced it says more than six hundred thousand people were forced to flee west mosul. here are some of the latest pictures from most of it she can see vast parts of the city in line ruins the smoke still rising above some of the buildings well earlier we discussed the situation in mosul with more it was on the iraqi branch of unicef. i was about a week and a half ago in the central hospital of of western most of fun people are

coming that they're coming there with fresh wounds and one of the image that touch me and still remains on my. head is this woman who brought four or five children into the hospital. all of you not had with the blood and she was so traumatized young one year and a half all was on her lap and she was trying to press his arm to stop the bleeding fighting in specifically in western mosul was in attendance extremely intense with a lot of damage and destruction the people and specifically children have been a extremely terrible price on the fighting in mosul they have witnessed horror and a nightmare yes they have been quite a cost of civilians and infrastructure damage. the horrors of war they were

also witnessed in another way by artist and illustrator george butler he was embedded with iraqi forces in the area he's previously worked in syria where he travelled to several times to document the conflict there list time get affected those who were displaced from the west most. what i found i guess was huge destruction to. civilian life and as ever it's the civilians that. are losing out more than anybody and the ones for

the stories and other ones that i as an illustrator and as artist i guess are trying to do to give justice to this kind of very vulnerable moment and the lack of choice and the thing i guess it was sticks to me is that the drawings that i'm doing are done with permission the best drawings i did were the ones that i was very much emotionally attached to the kind of desire to draw to do justice and draw exactly what was in front of me. now the un has warned spain to urgently prepare for a shop influx of refugees entering the country via the sea from africa the number of migrants who've already reached spain this year is edging closer to the entire total who made it in twenty sixty one let's take a closer look at the western european route that is being taken by the migrants an increasing number of africans are choosing to bypass the primary and notorious route through conflict torn libya instead they're heading straight to europe from morocco through the strait of gibraltar well some of the migrants say it's

a safer route but activists have warned of strong currents in the area that could easily capsize crowded boats. i. think the tough. will the un's refugee agency says madrid is simply not ready to cope with the influx stressing that spain doesn't have the infrastructure to accommodate all the new arrivals of fellow e.u. nations italy and greece are already bearing the brunt of the migrant surge thousands have been arriving in those countries each day and not all of them are feeling welcome on monday huge fire swept through a migrant camp on the greek island of lesbians amid a riot by asylum seekers facing deportation into turkey where european history professor paolo bernardino he says the e.u.

has failed to work out a common policy on dealing with migrants. in the stream well to leave. this situation. up to the task of controlling our. lot i do hope there will be a lot always if you think that the food. please if you feel you have to spin this with some of my own sweetly there's not too long on all this is just to do. all day. and i don't see the future are hard you are. sure that it greece and spain. now russian federal prosecutors are looking into the case of a wheelchair bound man he was jailed by a local court twenty eight year old anti maya faces charges of armed robbery

hawkins joins me live now with the details so to you what can you tell me about this case well as you say all seems like a pretty open and shut case when you look at it twenty year old man until now my if i was accused of his role in alleged armed robbery of a scooter that was back in autumn last year he was. labeled a very dangerous man he made some pretty serious threats about it to the victims threatened to shoot them to drive them to the forest to cut their is off all very gruesome stuff which i won't go into but anyway the thirtieth of june he was found guilty of these charges and sentenced to four and a half years in prison behind bars seems very very logical and very deserving until you look at the background of this man that he suffers from spinal muscular atrophy meaning he's not only wheelchair bound he's actually pretty much power rise from the neck down in these twenty four hour care as an assistance. so this case very much is resonating not only on social media but now with n.g.o.s and even a lot of federal level people getting involved with why exactly this has happened

we actually managed to speak to some of his neighbors and neighbors to ask what they make of what's very rapidly developed into a nationwide scandal let's take a listen. you know what you brought up they were very decent family and good family both of their children are disabled there is nothing bad i can possibly say about them neither anti nice sister can move without a new chair their mother takes care of them all the time you know which i know their family wary well our children have been friends since they were young we always help each other i know one tone as a very nice person he's family is always very helpful although the federal prison monitoring body has launched an investigation what's actually happened is until he's been transferred from custody to hospital for an evaluation to see if you fit or not to be put in prison although the answer seems through fairly obvious for you but after that evaluation you'll be taken out of hospital back into custody to wait a court's decision whether he'll be released or put back in prison i mean really

this seems to be the victim of very much skewed bureaucratic process of the law that reached this stage the presidential council for human rights is insisting on his immediate release even m.p. from the liberal democratic party who's the head of the committee for work social policy but trans even though he is the model of the full report into why this has happened so over the next three to four days out there will be assessed at his fate will be decided but very much a case as we say it's resonated through social media just because of its sheer. well randomness i guess this is really something you could make up a comedy indeed quite bizarre say thank you very much daniel hawkins thank you very much indeed thank you. well meanwhile russia's top diplomats mess the e.u.'s foreign policy chief today to discuss bilateral cooperation but their joint press briefing showed the team failed to get on and to agree i should say on the role of western sanctions in helping to settle the syrian crisis well the difference came to light after federica moderating was asked

a question by our own correspondent. and we can get the details of that war of star actually from him now live well so india what happened then. kate good evening from brussels well first of all let me just remind you that the presidents of russia in the u.s. struck a ceasefire for three parts of syria a couple of days ago in the meantime russia turkey and iran have been actively involved in the syrian peace process through the asked and that talks now having mentioned all of this at the joint press conference of the top diplomats of russia and the you here in brussels i asked federico model renie if the e.u. had anything up its sleeve when it comes to concrete countable measures for syria and here's what she replied to that. we haven't managed to play it in syria so we decided to leave and see if i can even tell you nothing.

but what we can do and we are doing day by day more. using the support we can give politically but also financially to the political process based on age anything that's a start of that is a clear military process ongoing. so the bottom line here essentially you guys sort out the military issues and we will provide the money it is the enormous amounts of financial aid for syria that is what according to federal rico maharani brussels should be very proud of now this was the point when the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov couldn't hold his tongue anymore and he reminded everyone of the anti syrian sanctions that the european union have been imposing. i think it's time to look at the humanitarian consequences of american and e.u.

sanctions against syria i think it's outrageous the sanctions impact on vital products in syria including pharmaceuticals which have always been developed in syria and now they've been hit by the sanctions and prove that our western colleagues have imposed. sanctions on syria that for the nation there are alternatives to if you just hold specific list possibilities into one. so federico . top diplomat is convinced that there sanctions aren't hurting the syrian people but there is of course a wide range of restrictions including a ban on the sales and supplies of high tech equipment which is of course vital for syrian hospitals they're also measures that have heavily damaged the production of medicine in the war torn country. and of course you wouldn't argue that all these factors heavily contribute to the humanitarian catastrophe syria finds itself in

six years into the civil war. into a that's trying to from brussels thank you very much indeed meanwhile up next on r.t. international it's the kaiser report. which. seems wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days become active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart if we choose to look for common ground.

max kaiser this is the guy has a report yet we're still in my specific we try to leave but. why bother this is where it's all happening foods great people are great crypto is great it's all great stacey's great make stacy great again she's already great holy moly what's going on stacey just for the day we were out it's only you know it's not holy moley

but holy moly it whoa whoa mola that's all i only hope. i'm saying wave a it's like huevos rancheros. that you like yeah i like the drop of stuff that's great. so the mall a has pulled us back in again we are here actually we actually went to the russian embassy to see our friend don't go price received an honorary degree from a university and russia and it was quite interesting of course that means that we were photographed at the russian embassy here the russian ambassador to mexico is there which means you can never be president of mexico max i had told you go. to the i did i called him because he doesn't believe him but. well so of course while we've been here. janet you.
