5:02 pm
and also metals and mining but the key point here is all about energy oil and gas and in particular gas that russia resupplying to central europe and in particular to germany and we've heard before from europeans who are unhappy at the idea that the u.s. could influence european ways of doing business and also with whom the colonel to accept the u.s. through to impose sanctions that violate international law and afflicted european companies involved in the expansion of europe's energy supply europe the supply is a matter for europe i'm not the united states of america it's up to us to decide who supplies us with energy and how according to rules of openness a market competition that must not happen we generally reject sanctions with extraterritorial fact meaning and impact on third countries premier spokesman dmitri peskov says that sanctions could hurt third parties and by that he means countries other than russia. we consider the continuing sanctions rhetoric
5:03 pm
counterproductive it is damaging the interests of our two countries and also potentially damaging the interests of other states with which russia has trade and economic relations developing despite all the negative tendencies when meanwhile european commission your highness hon has also said that there is a european commission delegation in washington having talks with the house of representatives to discuss the issue of sanctions an indication of just how seriously and how worried europe is over this particular issue the scandal over team trumps alleged collusion with russia running out of suspects the latest in the firing line is your question or the president's son in law who declined any links to russian meddling and a close hearing on capitol hill today before giving remarks from the white house jacqueline booga has this reports. if questioning is being conducted behind closed doors but he did put out an eleven page statement before hand in that document he
5:04 pm
outright denies all accusations of colluding with the russians or of having any knowledge of others in team trump having done so along with denying having any improper contact with foreign officials jared cushion or decided it was so important for him and other trump transition team officials to have secret communications directly with the kremlin not just the russian ambassador in washington but with the kremlin bush outlined each interaction he had with russians including the now infamous meeting with a russian attorney that the media has painted as no less than a kremlin agent cushion or was being invited to meet with a russian attorney and it had been promised she would deliver dirt on hillary clinton and now kirshner himself explained how insignificant that encounter was i arrived at the meeting a little late when i got there the person who has since been identified as a russian attorney was talking about the issue of a ban on u.s. adoptions of russian children i had no idea why that topic was being raise and quickly determines that my time was not well spent at this meeting that statement
5:05 pm
goes on to describe any and every interaction he had with a russian or someone who could possibly have a russian connection at the same time christian or also drew attention to the fact that his job during the campaign was to be the point of contact with foreign countries and therefore the four times he did encounter russians was well within his scope realistically not having any to report would have been more concerning given the amount of foreign contacts he had during the campaign which he outlined as well let's take a listen i had incoming contacts with people from approximately fifteen countries to put these requests in context i must have received thousands of kools let's isn't emails from people looking to talk a meet and a variety of issues and topics including hundreds from outside the united states well i could not be responsive to everyone i try to be respectful of any foreign government. so questionnaire stressed the fact that he had only limited contact with russian representatives but it is likely that the hunt for wrongdoing will
5:06 pm
continue regardless. alas when president trump reportedly pulled the plug on the cia's program to arm and train rebels in syria it's been running for several years now with a billion dollar budget yet producing questionable results and what could be a very pragmatic design to save money has received typical overtones in the media that this represents some sort of victory to russia. reports last week when news of trump attention to stopping cia program of training and arming rebels in syria surfaced in the washington post the overall narrative was quite easy to predict the move sought by moscow said it's headline some pundits and commentators went even further from suggesting that trump caved into putin or that it's all trees you know the usual putin puppet thing but does this move really benefit russia fair enough putin himself as well as other top officials in moscow have been on record implying that u.s.
5:07 pm
strategy in syria with arming the rebel forces and then seeing those weapons in the hands of had shopping jihadi s. may not have been the best one but here's the thing u.s. failures in syria have been acknowledged on the highest level even in the obama administration as of july third currently treat about sixty fighters this number is much smaller than we'd hoped for at this point in fact d.o.d.'s much anticipated program to train rebel fighters in syria was scrapped by obama and replaced with supplying the existing ones with weapons and why well because the health a billion dollar a year program managed to produce only a handful of fighters for fire at first and then only sixty while expectations of fighters trained by full twenty fifteen was in the thousands the cia plan of arm and train rebels when separately from that of the d.o.d. and the very same washed. post revealed that it had twice the pentagon's budget there's a billion dollars a year which made one fifteenth of cia's overall budget and effectively meant that
5:08 pm
every rabble trained by the cia cost around one hundred thousand dollars and some actually believe it was all worth it as we can leaks founder julian assange pointed out one washington post reporter from. fired shots at also those rebels actually killed or wounded one hundred thousand syrian government troops one may ask when and how did that happen especially considering that there have been cases when the rebel supported by the cia collapsed with those trained and armed by the pentagon l a times reported that in february last year the deal would be backed syrian democratic forces were kicked out from one of the towns near aleppo by cia armed. militia but when has this kind of mishap stop the funding off regime change now that trump has seemingly decided to put an end to this one of the commanders admitted to the financial times that not only his forces the syrian rebel forces
5:09 pm
shortie received arms from the cia but were also on the regular payroll yeah the salaries to syrian rebels which were essentially floated by the u.s. taxpayers which may explain the real reason why the program was curbed and that statement by top u.s. army general raymond thomas head of special operations command has said affirmatively that it was absolutely not a sop to the russians but in the world of today never let facts and called blood of decisions get in the way of the russia russia russia narrative alexi russia reporting from washington d.c. iran and iraq signed an agreement yesterday to stop that military cooperation in the fight against quote terrorism that's according to the official iranian news agency i are in a iranian defense minister along with his you rocky counterpart to sign a memorandum encompassing a border security just ticks. trainee u.s. president donald trump voiced concern over what he sees as growing iranian
5:10 pm
influence in syria yemen and iraq while the commander of the islamic revolution guard corps called the iranian missile program quote non-negotiable and highlighted the importance of using the missile program as quote deterrence power this all comes in the face of possible u.s. sanctions against the country. a correspondent from russia's news agency has been caught up in a gun battle in mosul iraq she was filming a mine clearing operation in the historic part of the city but she managed to escape unharmed and shared her video with us. about it. just a thought well one of called looking from a come on out of the. and you thought but i only hope you got there you got hutton and.
5:11 pm
now i got to you before you go i think you'll find i did not come from of the seventh floor. and all from the office when you. were with me. all this gunfire started when they were near brighton was filmed in a residential area next to be a great mosque of al nourie it hacker was hiding in a small room in a primary school the journalist believes it was a sniper and we spoke to sarah after the incident he was far into a full pool for all c.p. before the movie mosque. and ball with the. white hundred so called to hear. or talk we told you all three.
5:12 pm
that carry on are you are obviously out of this for anybody was going to pick a few too old for their logs my account for our heads is on the ground when i was. when i was on the run away from the after the big what have any morning i just said decided. to go wild probably for. as the u.s. led coalition has been pushing to defeat isis in iraq and syria the number of civilian casualties continues to rise according to the u.s. central command as of july seventh washington officials confirm one hundred nineteen and intentional civilian deaths however air war is estimates closer to forty five hundred deaths and nearly one thousand of those deaths were reportedly children last hour i was joined by activists david swanson author of war as a line for more insight. there is sick you know absolutely nothing illegal or
5:13 pm
acceptable of about this operation in its entirety and i think those totals that are reported by air wars of some four thousand five hundred you know is a is a very low ball figure you know when scientific studies are done of war zones after the fact and doing a comprehensive survey as to. the actual deaths are five to twenty times those deaths that have been reported and recorded with names known and so forth so you're talking about many thousands of people killed and as you've reported many more thousands and thousands of people made homeless and their homes destroyed and of course more people injured seriously than killed at a news conference the ten generals in town friend said that the million deaths result from the fog of war and this is why it's not a war crime to accidentally kill three billion fail. i say that this
5:14 pm
comes out of the medieval just war theory of proportionality as we've seen the u.s. government reported calculating that you know in this operation it will be acceptable for it to have up to fifty civilians die as it's important to go after this place where isis is hiding its money or something you know is somehow measuring the proportionate value of that of the serious important military target with the damage it's. and to be done but this has never been made into any sort of empirical system where somebody can say no actually only forty nine deaths are acceptable for this story to you know it's all just rhetoric it's all just a pretense of setting limits and accepting you know it's fine to be a war words nobody has claimed there was fog and then you can use fog of a war of war as an excuse in other wars but given that every war does this and that
5:15 pm
every war is illegal under the killer prion act and under the united nations charter there's no way to make an argument that some particular strike in mosul is legal or acceptable or humanitarian you know you touched on a point that i wanted to bring up there was evidence that surfaced last january that u.s. commanders were willing to claim fifty three casualties were targeting a three million five and more than that the islamic state had been using to store money so what are your thoughts on this strategy you said fifty of that to many if there are a number that has ever ok. well to my mind there's not and if there is never as i said been established in any agreed upon system where somebody can prove that only forty five it's ok or three hundred eighteen would be ok it's nothing but rhetoric it's not empirical it's not measurable there's no way to go out and say you know i've proven how many dead children will be acceptable but we it's become
5:16 pm
the norm in u.s. politics to the extent where you had the republican candidates for president in a primary debate are a televised on us t.v. last year asked would you be willing to kill innocent children by the hundreds and thousands as part of your normal duties as president i don't think that happens in debates in any other country on earth but this has become the norm in the united states and there's just rhetoric applied to to make it. sounds somehow acceptable or scientific and let's discuss a little bit more of the tactics that you may recall the san bernardino california massacre back in twenty fifteen that left fourteen people dead and of course many people were upset that the family have stayed for rupe wasn't also punished as you may recall the dad also lived in the same residence as the couple that carried out the attack so when her into taking out isis what are your thoughts when it comes to taking out their families as well as this near tactics or does this encourage more
5:17 pm
civilian death. was certainly the united states have been elected legitimately or not a presidential campaign don i want to kill families and i want to bomb the hell out of places encourages this sort of approach but it's generally a continuation of the the approach under the previous president and there is certainly nothing illegal or acceptable about taking out anyone civilian or non civilian it is all utterly illegal under the u.n. charter under the killer briana act and under any basic understanding of human decency or strategic approach to the world it is counterproductive it is illegal it is immoral and you know labeling people non-civilian is not a justification for murdering them legally ethically or otherwise we really appreciate your insight david thornton author and activist thank you so much for joining us today thank you in kabul this morning a taliban suicide bomber killed at least twenty four people and injured forty two
5:18 pm

5:38 pm
intimidated by criticism from other member states for its decision to take in more refugees we will not accept lectures and still less threats such as those we have heard from our neighbors in recent days we are doing our duty and expect the whole of europe to do the same alongside italy some italian mares are taking matters into their own hands staging rallies to protest what they say has become an unsustainable situation as growing numbers of refugees continue to settle in the country our crew visited one such town. i've been traveling across rural parts of sicily for almost a week now speaking to locals various officials and refugees and i'll tell you what some people may not be willing to admit it but italy has really been divided by the refugee crisis there are locals war ready to welcome migrants and refugees without any preconditions but there are of course others who are willing to put their
5:39 pm
livelihoods and their concerns first their lives have been hit hard by the economic crisis and they are the ones who now end up having to accommodate the refugees the most vivid example is the mayor of a small community. he told me how he started a protest in a place that has been quiet for decades when dozens of refugees and migrants were moved into an abandoned hotel the mayor along with the locals locked away for an. hour that was being delivered into the hotel in an exclusive interview he explained to me why they did that. when there's no room there's no room we've already got huge difficulties here like unemployment issues with infrastructure and health care the community does not understand how we can accept more people when we have all these problems but. only disappointed with his own government just like pretty much
5:40 pm
everyone that's the impression that i've been getting all the people are critical with the european approach in dealing with the refugee crisis the mayor told me that he believes that countries like germany and france are trying to keep up with the status quo where it is italy that is getting the impact of the refugee crisis and it is being left alone in dealing with this. the e.u. betrayed italy with a problem that's not a talian per se actually it's totally european. we are at the forefront italy is where they arrive first but the european community doesn't seem to care some countries even closed their borders more of that exclusive interview with the mayor and also my trip to the abandoned hotel that's now been turned into a refugee shelter. and the full report that will be aired on r.t.e. international throughout tuesday in the u.k. is international trade secretary liam fox has accused the b.b.c.
5:41 pm
of willing fully ignoring positive news on the back that process the claim came in a letter to the broadcasters director general however he has already voiced his concerns before r.t. is probably boyko has the report from london to tell you in the newspaper or listen to the radio t.v. the story is done very negatively it almost is going to be impossible for us to do these trade deals if you look we spoke of rome undermines the work he's doing. well mr speaker it does appear that some elements of our media would rather see britain feel than see brits succeed. and i cannot. recall a single time in recent times when i have seen good economic news that the b.b.c. didn't describe us despite rick's. well he says that the b.b.c. is putting a damper on things economically he says that when his press team calls up the b.b.c. news desks offering positive stories about brags that they choose not to cover them
5:42 pm
and he says that's hampering his ability to strike international trade deals which is of course the influxes job as international trade secretary for the british government has taken stock with a particular phrase that b.b.c. had lines often feature and that these two words despite brags that suggesting an element of surprise from the b.b.c. team that the country hasn't been crippled economically by its decision to leave the e.u. we've done a bit of research ourselves hair and we've counted dozens of b.b. . he had lines online featuring this phrase despite brags that since the vote took place last june of course liam fox he's a massive pro brags that he's one of the chief brags that is here in the british government so his letter to the b.b.c. has really riled up the pro e.u. campaigner in the u.k. one liberal democrat politician here has accused him of acting like
5:43 pm
