final time the max international air show wraps up today just outside of moscow we take a look at the highlights of this year's event. very good evening to you my name is neil harvey and you are watching the weekly here on r.t. international. 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 ahead of last year's election is the latest in a range of stories claiming direct collusion between the kremlin and in order to get into the white house we got the lawyers side of the story. we all know her name now a television star telly official natalia vessel needs sky natalia the cell next guy on italia vessel at sky a. wake up one morning and find you are the focus of the

whole the fire and kin stream media it. turns out it was nothing we managed to track down the elusive natalia vest on its guy a woman who has 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 u.s. sanctions on 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 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 i was actively gathering information about the vessel and its guy ahead of when this 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 my family to 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 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 brown. and i what is best known for is his role in the magnitsky act this is an act named after a russian lawyer who was once employed by brown 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 this couldn't be further from the truth and this is where i don't

try and do nia enters the picture and the big question for many is why does us the next guy was so keen to inform the trunk team 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 is the government's. so can you refute this information. from the e-mails released by donald trump jr where goldstone. i don't know that person and now we come to the name rob goldstone when doro turn jr went public last week it included emails from the

entertainment publicist in 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 that skier's possible ties to the kremlin. 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 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 business. let's put it this way i am ready to clarify the situation behind this mass hysteria but only through lawyers or testifying in the u.s. senate. chaotic scenes have been unfolding near the holy site of temple mount in jerusalem after israeli police moved in there with tear gas stun grenades and water cannon to disperse hundreds of palestinians. the palestinians had gathered to pray near the holy site in a show of. protest against a hike in security at the sight of israeli troops moved in to confront the crowd palestinians responded by throwing stones and setting tires on fire one of our

correspondents was caught up in that unrest tensions in the area have been running high all week. i i i. i. was i i i i i. i was i that i was. i. was i think that the police. think. that the clashes erupted following the decision of the israeli government to implement extra security measures including the installation of metal detectors

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 the west bank stabbing . 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 site. temple mount or. no to muslims is one of the most contested religious sites in the world for jews it's believed to have been the site of two biblical temples and their likes a mosque which is also located there is is the arms third holiest site temple mount is administered by a jordan based islamic religious or thirty we heard polarized views on the ongoing conflict. well those metal detectors came as a result of a heinous murder on

a holy spot these are not just metal detectors. one action out of money to change the already changed 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 three 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 dark does this sort of are sort of out of bullets and injured us i think the best alternative would be for jihadists to calm

down or to be deceived it 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. in video has emerged from inside an iraqi prison near mosul apparently showing inmates that being held in dire conditions this video shows almost four hundred prisoners said to be in heaven for months without trial packed into a dog crammed trims with no ventilation temperatures outside said to reach forty five degrees celsius guards at the prison say that people are falling ill due to a lack of hygiene and daylight inmates are suspected of links to i saw some of them claim to have idea no. why they are being held. they said my name was in the

database i 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 sun 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 such claims we raised this issue with human rights watch. human rights watch visited the very same prisons in february and released a report where we documented in detail the horrific and enqueue 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 and hygiene conditions in those facilities you know prisoner is whether or

not they're being charged with isis affiliation have 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 unfortunately 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 may pronounce that they will investigate but to date we have not seen as a single investigation leading to results and accountability plus more news to come for you this hour i'll see you after this short break. here's what people have been saying about reject. the only show i go out of my way

to. the really packed. yap is the john oliver of r t america is going to see your parents better than. see people you've never heard of. jack tonight. president of the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail. i do think that archie is propaganda arm of the russian government and helps to spread. information that helps advance russia's interest and so that's why i think it's important for people like me to come on if it were me i would be somebody who is less capable who would maybe not do as good a job presenting the american point of view. welcome

back tensions have been running in italy this week because the 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 the. figure is expected to double by december however as the impasse drags on a group of activists start taking matters into their own hands dumping themselves defend europe the group setting sail for the libyan coast in a bid to turn back. that have come from africa crowdfunding campaign to support the mission has already raised more than one hundred twenty six thousand dollars. overwatch. informed the libyan coast guard about their doings and you were trying.

to get them as well signaled to the west to the people in distress and make sure that they would be brought back to the libyan cold. defend europe launches its mission next week from the silly important tanya the activists say that patrols along the libyan coast will help to expose humanitarian groups that they accuse of working with people smugglers to transport illegal migrants to europe over the initiative has seen a backlash from n.g.o.s and rights groups even katon is mary's calling for a boycott on to correspondent philip a trend that has more on the mission that is 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 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 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. and anti migrant angio patrolling the mediterranean that is something 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 is this through the bit of i don't like what they're doing what if this is right twinning 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's 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 don't one migrants i mean they have to doubt the make of. the sense that we live in libya they say if they rescue migrants from the boats they will take them back to africa that this is a burden that is but come on how can someone who has lived i mean the middle of militancy to them but to africa that's not fair i mean some people call them racists do you agree with that there's no racist but thore there's already too many

people here yet. 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 for still feeling the burden of the economic crisis and don't want migrants in their hometown and all of them are in one same part not too long before right wing activists join the mob the club the trend toward tea could tiny. little his handling of the migrant crisis has resulted in a giant usual protest in a crop field near the city of erroneous one this perhaps best seen from the sky you'll see why here is a picture of a boat with the word africa on it the word stop next to it. and it's a clear reference to the ships that are bringing newcomers to italy the european

union's initials have been cross-town italy's been pleading for more help from the bloc in dealing with the migrant crisis also visible is the phrase no to the lord of the soil that's a reference to a new bill being debated in the italian parliament that would grant citizenship to children born to migrants in italy critics slam that idea of putting migrants rights before those of italians. crisis also sparked processed in spain where activists have staged a mock die in on a beach that's to highlight the number of migrants who have drowned trying to make it across the mediterranean meanwhile in greece refugees held angry demonstrations over bureaucratic delays that prevented them from being moved to other parts of the . red tape of the thousands stranded in greece separated from their families as

migrant camps in the country become increasingly overcrowded divisions are also emerging between ethnic groups some refugees claim that application rules are relaxed depending on my country of origin sparking violent confrontations in the camps. the final day of the max international air show has wrapped up just outside of moscow crowds were wild by a dozen the rave aerobatics twenty five displays showcased the huge variety of brand new aircraft the show was running all week and on saturday alone one hundred seventy three thousand people attended. despite being at asho there was plenty of action on the ground as well for example racing car drivers challenge pilots to a race this is our pictures of one such event this was a jet taking on a speed mobile cause took on a variety of planes including a mc fighter

a yap train the plane and then aerobatics yet. another surprise for the huge crowd a chance to get up close and personal with some of the very latest in aviation technology that is exactly what arty skate parties did. 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 all seeing is military and so join me 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 thank you 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 thirty edition of a very famous fighter family of mccoy doing fulcrum family the thirty five is an upgrade in terms of engines avionics radar and weapons systems so this big move

mean of the aircraft as a service but also do you. what is it 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 in the arabian presence they're both here in significantly more numbers and showing more equipment new level we've ever seen before and am i to show you 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. we've seen some amazing planes and because the flying the sky there it's amazing to hear it 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 goes. on we don't need roads. and i had a sweetie experience. of what it feels like to operate one of those cars so what is he that he's smolder yeah i'm calm he's basically he has sort of comes that but the operator to get around this you've got this big car that looks a bit like the batmobile 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 and turn to twenty if you go to dulles or just a pop up your mobile lab and you will have an elevated body for the for the they are toxic to pick you up and when we go in the woods if you thank you very much indeed well there you go ladies and gentlemen week to be always thought it was back to the future but the future perhaps just so far away these are twenty twenty. one

staying with us here in our international be back with the latest headlines see you at the top of the hour. despite. your. well reducing. that's undercutting but what's good for markets it's not good for

the global economy. credit is one of the basic instruments to drive the economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did i took lying down just i came to god and that the debts tie came and it was. being broken really except the banks got you into trouble. big bankers come. on the government backed the banks but i didn't think of the ordinary men and women that lost money through the back under don't buy creditors people see no future bad things happen you know you become ill you do to your actions or breaks down you become a casualty is lifelong. i was actually going to bed something i would like to get a bill from. the
