involvement in a meeting between donald trump jr and a russian lawyer. he wants to international live from studio with me and welcome to the program. iraqi officials say they are investigating reports of extra judicial executions of suspect take the mixtape find has by iraqi troops in the city of mosul that's after a series of videos appeared online showing soldiers beating and shooting suspects and warning you may find some of the following images to stepping. the video we're showing you right now and this soldier is throwing a suspected to harvest off a cliff the shell soldiers shoot the man after he hits the ground human rights

watch told us they were able to confirm that the location of this video is mosul. what we were able to verify the images taken in the u.s. satellite imagery show that they are tracked around. here to be in. we don't really have much of the nation about the videos jugular but they do match pieces that we've been documenting for many months now of actually usually executions why the security forces both federal police forces as well as part of mobilization forces there are really many many. soldiers execute the suspected isis militants torturing going to be using family members of suspected isis. so sadly i have to say that these are not new or surprising these latest allegations come just days after another rights group

amnesty international blamed the u.s. led coalition for thousands of civilian deaths during the battle for mosul a u.s. state department spokesman was grilled on the issue by reporters on thursday. it seems to be and this is not just something that unique to this administration but for many over the course of the last four or five thought of instructions when amnesty or another human rights group group comes out with a report on a country that you don't like if they like north korea or syria you or i and they don't consult those governments when they do the job for which you guys accepted you know and you even talk about it and praise the reports from rome from the podium and say this is you know we can't we're like chemical weapons in syria but when they come out with a report that is a in a country that is a madman i have to say we want is that on that report like hartmann of defense puts together a very thorough humanitarian excuse me a very thorough civilian casualty list this is not a case does not

a situation where you accept reports that if you like the results but do not accept them as i'm not going to characterize it that way at all ok i think we've been over this now we have repeatedly raised our concerns with the u.s. government in the great compound operations and for aren't something else really for example about the very many abuses that we are continuing to document by iraqi government sources i should say that the interior ministry in iraq has promised investigate these particular reveals just that they promised to investigate prior videos showing severe abuses by iraqi government forces plan to date we have never seen they rock a government actually hold any soldiers accountable for these abuses that are being documented what would really be best for the iraqi government and the syrian government to ratify the wrong statute and during the i.c.c. so that we can bring these appearance or to what international clive you will the mistreatment of anybody never justified even if they are isis fighters they should

not be mistreated that's why we have international laws that are going to separate us from isis that's why we can say the international community better than isis because we don't need street. a new poll has revealed that the majority of americans now view north korea as the greatest threat to u.s. national security with islamic state ranking second it comes off to pyongyang recently tested a purported intercontinental ballistic missile on more reports from the streets of new york. when asked about what was the greatest foreign threat to the united states forty percent of americans was to north korea now that's not really surprising given all the talk there's been in the media about the danger posed by kim and his friends. with the united states the north korean dictator kim jong un threatens the united states with nuclear weapons and tensions are really inching to the point of war so how much are americans really in danger from north korea their

closest neighbor south korea says that intelligence shows that north korea really doesn't have the capability to carry out an intercontinental ballistic missile strike considering how north korea does not have any testing facilities for reentry technology the agency believes north korea has not yet secured that technology yet north korea is still listed is the greatest threat greater than i still and that's despite the growing threat of radicalization and homegrown terror recently described by homeland security the number of post nine eleven homegrown terror plots in the united states has served so many aspects of this terrorist thing obviously you have the homegrown terrorist i don't know how to stop that i don't know how to detect that so why are people so afraid of north korea we decided to find out the greatest foreign threat to the united states. everything. they really. were north korea tyranny was career russia chinese ice is russia iran or saudi arabia what about the relationship between.

and china russia korea why do you think korea is a threat. well it's pretty obvious they want to. right they have a very. hostile dictator it's very offensive towards united states that is to the whole thing without a warm beer as they have the missile and they tested it and. it's scary you know i don't know i mean are they really a threat are they will what are they really are are they really going to shoot all the missiles i mean are we going to have a nuclear holocaust i think that's a little bit much you know but i don't know with north korea as a. as big of a threat as we're being as being perceived i don't feel that that they're eminent but i think that they can start something however that can just caught globally what makes north korea a greater threat than i so. i don't know that's a good it's a great question i would think they're under dictabelt what they're both unpredictable and i think they have the the ability of the atomic weapon i think

right now i just is more of a threat the north korea but you know maybe ten fifteen years down the road north korea could be more of a threat i think it's a genuine threat if you like the media is hyping threats about north korea is a big time big time i mean i'm going to just i think that it's so it's it's fear mongering you sit down and you watch fox news ever since you don't there the whole is more entertainment now it's more they just want to keep you glued to the t.v. screen to see what's going to happen next is up to media is hyping anything they can hype in order to get people to watch at this point u.s. president franklin delano roosevelt said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself and perhaps the most dangerous fears are those that are manufactured and not based on credible threats they will mop and r.t. new york. so let's look into whether north korea's nuclear program really is as dangerous as the media portrays it to be north korea claims it has a number of nuclear warheads estimated to be ten but pyongyang to yet have any

missiles capable of sending a warhead over a large distance the further say fired a test missile is nine hundred thirty kilometers which isn't far enough to reach america this all means that in a fact north korea has no active strategic nuclear forces tim shark an investigative journalist says the media's scam mongering. the united states. public has been has been subject to a massive propaganda campaign war is you know coming tomorrow to korea the idea that somehow north korea is more of a danger though you know comes from this propaganda that north korea's aiming is building weapons in an offensive way and this is trying wants to attack the united states and then north korea's development of weapons or aimed right at the rate at all our cities and they are ready at any moment to attack us there is no background at all explaining to people you know how we got here what the role the

united states has been in this crisis what could be done to get out of it it's all just scaremongering. a pork ban on kindergarten menus is tearing controversy in the austrian city of thoughts but the world has been in force for five years but only came to light last week after parents filed a request with them as office they were told the decision was made on health grounds and also to meet the needs of muslim children. parents in austria have got beef with the authorities after the pork was given the chop from kindergartens has been missing from menus for five years but now it's been spotted all strains during this juve over its thirties claim children simply prefer chicken and carrots the dish was drugged due to health reasons among other things the news of muslim children that's one line this left the norm sweet all sour taste in parents' mouths

and those polled say they now strongly oppose the decision despite the mayor's claim there's been no official decree is still new some of finding difficult to digest. we had some contrast in opinions from christian apna of the chamber of commerce in vienna and look how much of the ramadan foundation. i cannot really see a reason why the mayor of of salts work is denying austrian children access to normal austrian pork dishes pork dishes are part of our culture if somebody wants to live here actually they should respect our culture it's a trick from the far right who perpetuated this thing about muslims the an outside is you know game preferential treatment i don't support i second i'm not criticizing them for having a good thought you know i'm trying to be inclusive but i think you can't be inclusive if you exclude a particular community the one side who thinks we should proceed to

a kind of for peace and strategy to accommodate muslims in europe and to make sure that the feel like at home and others who think wait wait a minute this is europe this is our country these are our countries we're not muslims we want to keep our identity so this is part of a major political conflict muslims are not alien to societies that are early to germany or france or the united kingdom or russia and anybody who tries to divide communities anybody tries to perpetuate this hatred inherent hatred that we see i think should be called off or is it's racism and xenophobia against community there isn't the strategy of the muslims is took out call any criticism on them islamophobia and now especially left wing politicians oh mr very much afraid of of being called islamophobia of course you're a austria switzerland you know we are seen an inherently anti muslim agenda and

in those spaces the rights of muslims are being taken away the freedoms of muslims are being taken away and yet still we have people out there suggesting a similar muslims again preferential treatment it's an absolute lie and it should be called off a war is. china is deploying troops to it military base in djibouti of a small east african country already host troops from several foreign powers and explains why it's of vital strategic importance to the chinese navy warships left to port john john on tuesday to launch beijing's first ever overseas military base in djibouti but out of all places in the world why you pretty well for starters the tiny african country provides access through the red sea to the suez canal one of the busiest shipping routes in the world another key aspect of djibouti location is its proximity to potential crisis areas namely yemen where saudi arabia is fighting

who the rebels in an ongoing civil war and somalia a stronghold for the al qaeda linked militant group al-shabaab so what's in it for china officially it's to boost the thousands of troops and millions of dollars beijing has poured in to assist the u.n. is peace keeping efforts in africa will be joining a two bit of fulfill its international obligation in somalia such as carrying out school missions providing humanitarian aid it will also benefit in social and economic development and enable china to make further contribution in safeguarding peace and stability in africa and the world the base also helps secure china's fast economic interests in africa with beijing investing in so many key infrastructure projects wrote the continent that is why china is joining the crowd of global powers of ready operating in djibouti washington spilt its biggest four thousand strong base on the continent as you can see marked in blue here on the map france

has nine thousand eight hundred troops there six hundred japanese marines are stationed nearby and saudi arabia is also building a base in the tiny east african state with all these different countries flexing their military muscles almost literally side by side. it's tribute to becoming the next playground for the world's leading powers the chinese the view that these one day if there will be. between them and united is that one day the one thing i do sitting between them and united to do with clinton i do sin and positioning them so that they came to deal with the united states all clues pushing. food out of the self and so or not of money that depend he's put with the person doesn't that. also goes for the region it limits and i were told to go to egypt but each of them thinking for them did most of us that the political the power of the politics of

their interest in. an exclusive interview with the russian prosecutor general's office touching on the trunk scandal baton will after this break. but we don't. get it on the. according.

you don't leave universal basic income when you have an economy around the world that rewards imagination and monetizes free thought free thought free movement of capital and all the intermediary forces go out of business a lot of bankers lose their jobs a lot of politicians lose their job the nation state collapses as we know it and people are as free as their money because right now money is a lot freer than people. welcome back to the program the russian prosecutor general's office has denied claims of involvement in a meeting between a russian lawyer and donald trump jr last year us democrat politicians and much of the media pointed at the counter as evidence of the trump team's collusion with moscow during the election campaign. one connected lawyer who met with donald trump

jr last year this woman is the russian government lawyer and he did know it was information gleaned by the russian government he took a meeting with a russian lawyer was connections to the kremlin after being told she might have information helpful to the campaign john jr was initially contacted by an intermediary who talked about handing over things that information on hillary clinton it's apparently originated from the crown prosecutor of russia that position does not exist so it's believed he was referring to the general prosecutor r.t. spoke exclusively with the international communications chief at the prosecutor's office and it's going to. some foreign media wrote about the meeting between donald trump jr and russian lawyer and italian vessel needs go which reportedly took place last june and possible involvement of the russian prosecutor general's office in brokering the meeting how would you comment on this information i would not want to comment on something that is totally untrue. you have to understand the office of

the prosecutor general does not share information of these individuals in the us such contacts can only happen through official channels as stipulated by international agreements and after a formal request. submitted by a prosecution agency so are you saying that the prosecutor general's office could not have sent vessel needs it's insane to think that the prosecutor general's office would use a private lawyer to transfer information any exchanges of information about criminal cases ease down through the country's official agencies with their russian prosecutor general's office and the u.s. department of justice. so if we need to share information to resolve our american colleagues we send it to the justice department. emanuel microland try to wow his guest donald trump at this year's bastille day

ratings were sky high artie's jaclyn do their looks at why the two opera see so differently. according to a recent poll president trump's approval ratings are low really low but it seems that people don't so much just like him as a president as much as they just don't like him as a person sixty five percent of those who disapprove of trump said it was because of his personality while only sixteen percent objected to his policies ok trump is undeniably a one of a kind president who has said and done some awkward things i think by single greatest asset any assets i have is by temperament you know just like showed. i'm really rich just think i'm like a smart person i think i'm much more humble than you would understand. if you compare term to his predecessor barack obama the figures were almost the exact opposite at the beginning of obama's first term sixty five percent disliked his policies while fourteen percent didn't care for his character a large portion of america really fell in love with who he was. in my

first term we ended the war in iraq. in my second term i will win the war on christmas. you pretty tough guy are you a tough guy you look like you're pretty tough and and so you just got to keep on going. but for often being perceived as polar opposites the two actually have a number of political moves in common our own members trumps controversial travel ban that affected people from seven muslim majority countries while the obama administration did the same states as areas of concern and put travel restrictions on their citizens and some of the rhetoric we've seen from both presence is shockingly similar take their stances on america's place in the global arena. that goes out of american lives could result the political just remember that lies at

the heart of someone else's civil war we cannot be the policeman of the world and of course those promises to help out the average joe. we're going to bring back made in the u.s. and we're going have a lot of jobs come back we're going to have a lot of made in america hopeful trend they're bringing jobs back from overseas as for trump the analysis of that gallup poll functions off with a rather somber prognosis for him they're rising that unless the president changes his unique style his numbers will continue to plummet it seems in this case everyone is judging this book by its cover jochum book r.t. washington d.c. . rehearsals for one of the biggest most spectacular aerobatic shows on the planet taking place near moscow here's a taste of the action to come some of russia's finest test pilots taking part in max twenty seventeen are poised to show off their dead devils skills in a hair raising aerobatics display they'll be flying state of the art russian jets on choppers as well as putting never before showcased aircraft and combat systems

or they are the thank. ya thank you i. was. don't think nobody's talking about. don't trump is the best thing to have about what happened was three in twenty years because it's the moment he took the oath of office no one had ordered a word about wall street pillaging the world and was great loves it when no one talk about wall street. they like tyler durden by gov they are they they love it as long as no one's talking about wall street they can all just go about robbing the country blind you know also like tyler durden wall street has an army of autumn aton cyborgs wreaking mayhem so pretty similar as what is gonna trump is running

around the white house like a like a like above bowl in a china shop just goofing world leaders or whatever the. whatever he's doing is what is best going on wall street can just keep pillaging without doing without good being secretive about it any more they do. brink's truck up to the stock exchange is like a reward money and no it doesn't matter no the gender trump just tweeted that the canadian prime minister can suck his dick nobody. nobody cares what we're doing and of course trump has put goldman sachs in charge of the economy and president obama did the same right he put it put tim geithner in charge because the banks run this country and if you're like me you think there's anybody going to do anything to stop you i don't know i don't know anything could actually work could sound like a way to god. maybe before a lot of people have complained about occupy it didn't it didn't have

a clear goal all right it was full of rich white kids it smelled less than savory but. none of those complaints were technically true it has they say in the biz but the truth doesn't matter when america believes something deep down and it's got right deep down where john cena lives. i call this the john cena realm right here but say would you will about occupy you can't deny that while it was going on the entire country was glaring at the institution that is running our economy and by running i mean finger banging ok. people all. the people finally there was some dirty quotation marks but. people finally cared the wall street was steadily extracting all the wealth and resources and giving it in an unmarked paper bag to a tiny percentage of complete douchebags who.
