max international air show wraps up today just outside of moscow we take a look at the highlights of this year's event. good evening to you my name's neil harvey your watching the weekly here on r.t. international. now this week r.t. spoke exclusively to the russian lawyer at the center of a scandal over her meeting with president trump's eldest son out of last year's election it's just the latest in a range of stories claiming direct collusion between the kremlin and trump in order to get him into the white house we got the lawyers side of the story. we all know her name now a television star telly official in that sky natalia vessel needs sky natalia to sell this guy of the new talia vessel in its. wake up one morning and find you are
1:02 pm
the focus of the all the fire and kin stream media it. turns out it was nothing we managed to track down the elusive natalia best on its guy and the woman who was almost become a household name in recent weeks was off to her meeting with donald trump jr last year and which she said she wanted to discuss the reputation of one particular man and his association with the magnitsky along with his past time of lobbying for us thanks to russian individuals this person who she says has most of mine did this latest russia trying collusion scandal. today i have to think about my safety first and foremost about the safety of my family my four children it's been revealed that
1:03 pm
mr browder has been gathering information about me so who is william browder maybe not a familiar name for most but for thirty years in russia he's a wanted man quite literally he's wanted for tax fraud on top of this leaked us state department e-mails reveal that brown it was actively gathering information about a vessel and its guy ahead of when the scandal broke and that included personal details such as where she lives so given this information vessel it's seems quite convinced that browder has harbored a personal vendetta against her perhaps something to do with the thoughts that he once lost a case in court now this was a two thousand and thirteen case in which a vessel in its guard represented the cyberspace company previn's on holding which is owned by a russian businessman wrote to have accused the company of money laundering. the case was finally settled in may this year with no admission of guilt by a preface on you or mr browder and his team have been gathering information about
1:04 pm
my family they try to find out whether i'm married or not whether i have children or not they found photos of my house and sent them to cope parker he's a famous man in the house of representatives they shared all these details with people from the state department i don't know why he's doing this i can only make assumptions here i see today's situation has been heating up for ten days or so as a very well orchestrated story concocted by one particular manipulator and that is mr browder. now what is best known for is his role in the magnitsky act this is an ox named after a russian lawyer who was once employed by a ground as company in russia he was later arrested in connection with a tax fraud case and he died was being held in detention browder later played a major role in law being for a set of sanctions to be imposed by the us on the number of russian individuals over magnitsky death brought it claims he knew magnitsky personally but according to vesa lipsky on this couldn't be further from the truth and this is where i don't
1:05 pm
try and do enters the picture and the big question for many is why is that the next guy was so keen to inform the truth about the military say with brown his reputation. this was the story that i brought to donald trump jr i wanted him to know that browder a person who gave up his u.s. citizenship is trying to manipulate people in congress and now we even know their names the media have disclosed them he was making all those connections even though he hadn't lived in the country for twenty years was not paying any taxes not doing anything useful in fact his only mission was to go after his opponents while gaining some political capital it was nothing but retaliation from this man who did this in order to distract everyone with the big story. so can you refute this information from the e-mails released by donald trump jr where goldstone. or i don't know that person and now we come to the name rob goldstone when don't turn jr
1:06 pm
went public last week it included e-mails from the entertainment publicist and which he claims to have information on hillary clinton which quote would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia and would be very useful for donald trump's campaign but that apparently this guy is just a music producer my guess is that this man is used to selling and promoting ideas some product so he decided that i would be this product for sale and promotion. and it was also within the goldstone e-mails that the mention of russia's prosecutor general came up leading to questions of a vessel in its skies possible ties to the kremlin that the prosecutor general's office of the russian federation deals with criminal cases that is the role defined by federal law and the constitution there's no me and the prosecutor general where are mine where is the prosecutor general. now that's on its guy or woman unwillingly thrust into the spotlight is having serious concerns for her safety
1:07 pm
especially considering how she has a family and four children who are now also vulnerable to media focus but despite this she is by no means running away from the attention and says she is more than ready to testify in congress to the senate. let's put it this way i'm ready to clarify the situation behind this mass hysteria but only through lawyers or testifying in the u.s. senate. ok i'll take scenes of an unfolding near the holy site of temple mount in jerusalem after israeli police moved in with tear gas stun grenades and water cannon to disperse hundreds of palestinians. palestinians gathered to pray near the holy site in a show of protest against a hike in security at the site when israeli troops moved in to confront the crowd of palestinians responded by throwing stones and setting tires on fire one of our
1:08 pm
1:09 pm
including the installation of metal detectors now that was after the killing of two border police officers in east jerusalem on saturday night two palestinian teenagers were killed in clashes three others were killed in clashes the night before as were three israelis in a west bank snapping. the secretary general of the arab league has reacted to the new security measures with a statement that says israel is playing with fire and risking crisis with the arab world in a bid to impose a new reality on the holy city or temple mount or as it's known to muslims as one of the most contested religious sites in the entire world for jews is believed to have been the site of two biblical temples and their likes a mosque which is also located there is islamic third holiest site temple balance administered by a jordan based islamic religious or thorough we heard polarized views on the in going conflict. well those metal detectors came as a result of a heinous murder on
1:10 pm
a holy spot these are not just metal detectors. one action out of money to change the already changed state to score a heinous murder takes place then security measures are brought in and then israel is blamed for taking the security measures it's a reaction to the first event which was horrible terrorism well first of all our dog. if the public knows the people who committed the attacks were israeli citizens by the way people have to accept the fact that israel is the sovereign that jerusalem is our capital city and that the temple mount is the heart of our heart you accept those things and we can have a dialogue and conversation you saw on t.v. how the israeli army is that you think peaceful nonviolent people who are just praying they are attacked i was myself injured two days ago by the israeli army when i was just all i did i wanted to pray in their attack does this short of a sort of out of bullets and injured us i think the best alternative would be for
1:11 pm
jihadists to calm down or to be defeated and for there to be equal access to the site for all religions including jews cooperate with the palestinians remove the cause of all conflicts which israeli occupation and stop israeli aggression on palestinians this where we are we can achieve peace. new video has emerged from inside an iraqi prison near mosul apparently showing inmates that being held in dire conditions the video shows almost four hundred prisoners who said to have been held for months without trial packed into dark cramped rooms with no electricity or ventilation in baking hot conditions as temperatures outside reached forty five degrees celsius guards at the prison said that people falling ill due to a lack of hygiene and daylight in mesa suspected of law. i saw some of them so i have no idea why they are being held. they said my name was in their database i
1:12 pm
haven't seen any court or judge i don't even know what i'm accused of a lot of names are the same since i got here eight months ago i've only seen the son once we really want to die none of us have received any visitors or relatives or family members they don't even know where we are recent months rights groups have repeatedly called on the iraqi government to investigate the claims we raise the issue with human rights watch. human rights watch visited these very same prisons in february and released a report where we documented in detail the horrific in-q inhumane conditions in which these men are being held there were rampant problems of the ill treatment and in fact there were multiple men that are dying in detention because of the sanitary
1:13 pm
and hygiene conditions in those facilities you know prisoner is whether or not they're being charged with isis affiliation and how basic rights and you have to imagine i mean these images only give us a small snapshot. we've raised these allegations with the iraqi authorities we've raised these allegations with the coalition and i don't fortunately i have not seen anything to suggest that they are urgently investigating nor post investigations actually holding any commanders accountable unfortunately this is an old story in iraq where for years we've been documenting the most serious abuses and the government made pronounced that they will investigate but to date we have not seen as a single investigation leading to results and accountability. now activists trying to stem the migrant flow into europe branded racists who have details of that story and more after this break.
1:15 pm
flamingo and you'll get it on the old the old. the old according to just. welcome to my world come along for the ride. welcome back tensions have been running high in italy this week as the migrant crisis continues to worsen in the country officials warn that talks with the european union to solve the problem have become a quote tug of war italy seen almost one hundred thousand migrants arriving on the shores this year alone the figure is expected to double by december however as the impasse drags on a group of activists well they are taking matters into their own hands topping themselves defend europe the group setting sail for the libyan coast in a bid to turn back migrant boats that are coming from africa a crowd funding campaign to support that mission it's already raised more than one hundred twenty six thousand dollars. overwatch. been for the libyan coast
1:16 pm
guard about the do you want truck. see when you get them that's where signaled to the west to the people in distress and make sure that they even brought back to the libyan calls. with friends europe launches its mission next week from the sicilian port of qatar nya to say that their patrols along the libyan coast will help to expose humanitarian groups they accuse them of working with people smugglers to transport illegal migrants to europe or the initiative has seen a backlash from n.g.o.s and rights groups even to ten years barry is calling for a boycott auntie's correspondent illiterate trying to has more on the mission
1:17 pm
that's dividing italy. we're at the port of in sicily among the ships that come into the sport you will every now and then see boats full of migrants but we are here to talk to an activist who is expecting the arrival of a very different kind of boat with a very controversial purpose. so somewhere around here will probably arrive by next week. what we cherish of course is a cultural identity are you a racist or an extremist organization your final purpose is what. we want to ensure that europe stays in europe this is what some people call racism . i think the european union should feel ashamed now they want to use sicily as a rallying point for disgusting racism that does not belong to our culture i know
1:18 pm
that our welcoming culture is disliked by european fascists but we won't give up we are not going to be silent in the face of this call to violence against desperate human beings these peoples need to buy history books we're not trying to provoke a situation where anybody's life is at risk so you're not attacking them i know we're not attacking migrants we're not going to attack the n.g.o.s we would just try to document what they're doing and we want to make sure that these n.g.o.s are not working as some kind of proxy for the human traffickers what happens if you see that someone's life is in danger we will also come and rescue them really and what are you going to do when a refugee on your boat well we will try to bring them to africa again. people of sicily have gotten used to migrants to the many n.g.o.s that have come here to help but an anti migrant ngo patrolling the mediterranean that is something
1:19 pm
most people here have never heard of so let's ask the locals about the cause. so what do you think of the n.g.o.s that are working in the mediterranean to help the migrants the moon as they see the bits and i don't like what they are doing what if this is right twinging and geo both doesn't sound good this is the boat. the right wing activists will be on this boat they will be patrolling the mediterranean to make sure that there is no illegal migration and to make sure that the n.g.o.s don't break the laws what do you think about that good job like that it's good and the opinion of the migrants. they don't want migrants here i mean if they want it on my guns i mean they have to be out the make a peace and stability in libya they say if they rescue migrants from the boats they will take them back to africa that this is that is what go on how can someone who does live i mean up in the middle of militancy you know take them back to africa that's not fair i mean some people call them racists do you agree with that there's
1:20 pm
no racist but thore there's already too many people here yet no jobs so there's no room for everyone or do you think that's racist i don't think so and i'm not against helping migrants but we should help them in their own country so here's a seeing that seems to have become typical for sicily we've got a park where we can see the migrants then and geo group to help them and also there are locals who are still feeling the burden of the economic crisis and don't want migrants and their hometown and all of them are in one same park not too long before right wing activists join the mob the club believe the trend toward tea could tiny really. little ease handling of the migrant crisis has resulted in a giant and unusual protest in a crop field near the city of rome and it's best seen on this occasion from the sky from there you see a picture of the boats with the word africa on it and the word stop next to it it's
1:21 pm
a clear reference to the ships bringing new comers on mass to italy the european union's initials have been crossed out italy has been pleading for more help from the bloc in dealing with the crisis also visible is the phrase no to the law of the soil that's a reference to a new bill being debated in the italian parliament it would grant citizenship to children born to migrants in italy critics bad idea is putting migrants rights before those of italians. and the migrant crisis also sparked protests in spain where activists staged a mock dye in on a beach to highlight the number of migrants who have drowned trying to make it across the mediterranean meanwhile in greece refugees angry demonstrations over bureaucratic delays preventing them from being moved to other parts of the.
1:22 pm
red tape is left thousands stranded in greece and separated from their families some as migrant camps in the country become increasingly overcrowded divisions are also emerging between ethnic groups and refugees claim that application rules are relaxed depending on their country of origin another violent confrontations in the camps. when the term cease fire is many of us would no doubt be thinking of conflict zones in the middle east but people in the u.s. city of baltimore fifty kilometers from the capital are calling for a truce they are fed up by the skyrocketing levels of gun violence in their city. it's a war zone or this is
1:23 pm
a war torn city. most of us. have a lot of somebody. we live with that every single day now but. most people between the age of one of seven deadly have p.t.s.d. which is of course from the shootings from the teddy bears on the wall from people getting shot in broad daylight before your eyes walking over walking over bodies and things like. cease fire going to stand because i don't shoot my damn person. the final day of the manx international show has wrapped up just outside of moscow grounds there were wild by does linger a of aerobatics with twenty five displays showcasing a huge variety of new aircraft shows been running all week on saturday alone one
1:24 pm
hundred seventy three thousand people attended. despite being an asher there was also plenty of action on the ground with racing car drivers challenging the pilots in the sky to race these are pictures of one such event a race between the jet and speeds mobile because to put a variety of planes including a big fighter against train the plane and an aerobatics jet. and another surprise for the huge crowd a chance to get up close and personal with some of the very latest in aviation technology is exactly what artist kate partridge has been doing. if you get here above me that is it makes thirty five fighter jets just to prove that we really are here and also it's just behind me as well that makes thirty five because what we got to be talking about today is also his military and to join me
1:25 pm
to talk about what makes that plane so unique is douglas barry he was an expert when it comes to military avionics thank you very much indeed for joining me so let's just very briefly talk about this particular plane what is it about the make thirty five that makes it so unique thirty five is probably the last attrition of a very famous fighter family of mccoy doing fulcrum family the thirty five is an upgrade in terms of pain junes avionics radar and weapon systems so this may move mean that the aircraft is in service but also to you. what it is about this particular show the sheer that's really impressed you what stood out for you to go through two things one just continues to develop its military capabilities secondly the chinese are in the arena and praising so they're both here in significantly more numbers and showing more equipment new level we've ever seen before and i might see a show this also before we go let's have a quick reminder of all the aerobatics the specially strikes and everything else that happened here at max.
1:26 pm
we've seen some amazing planes and because the flying the sky there it's amazing really good so you take this for instance this is trace and it can fly they can also drive and they can spray. another thing that i've seen here is a flying taxi just like those from back to the future roads. and we don't need roads. and i had a sweetie experience. what it feels like to operate one of the next congress so what is he not he says lol yes i'm calm but he's basically you know sort of funds that make the operation to get people around you've got this big problem it's
1:27 pm
a bit like the fact that bill i spoke to one of the men behind this project and he says it's only a couple of years to go before we'll all be able to enjoy the ride oh in trying to turn to if you go to dulles or just to walk up your mobile app and you will call for an elevated walk through for the for the there are talks it's a pick you up and really knowing the rules if you think you very much indeed will there are no ladies and gents a pleasure to be worse than it was back to the future but the future perhaps just so far away these are ten to twenty. feet in the future about with the latest news headlines in half an hour. we. rather let you leave us to fight.
1:28 pm
for. through. the walk sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to do socks for the tell you that would be gossip and probably by filed this report. by the author of advertising tell you think you are not cool enough unless you buy their product. all the hawks that we along with our audience will watch. it is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did it i took the how to style game big and made that the death star game
1:29 pm
and it was fire not. many lives have been broken by excessive debt and the banks gushing toward the normally big bankers got big. money by the banks but i just didn't think of the the ordinary men of the morning through the back under don't buy creditors people see no future bad face and have become ill get into a job your relationship breaks down you become a casualty is dead a lifelong trap or is there a way out of those actually trying to a bit of an old marco to ditch bill for. a few more. this is where they pierced america's heart on the eleventh of september two thousand and one fifteen years after the attacks even.
