a man suspected of committing friday's deadly knife attack in hamburg. you're watching our c.n.n. national coming to you live from moscow with the global news this hour i'm kate partridge thank you for joining us. let's start with our breaking news story president donald trump assigned to a new sanctions bill against russia it comes a response to alleged meddling by moscow in the u.s. presidential election. well for more on this let's cross live now to washington and correspondent jacqueline berger well jacqueline i hope you can hear me out has this come as
12:02 pm
a surprise. the. president has rather reluctantly signed this bill into law trump released a statement saying that while he favors tough measures to punish and deter aggressive behavior by foreign powers the bill is seriously flawed and he only signed it for the sake of national unity he repeated that he has expressed concerns from the beginning about a number of points within the law of the legislation but congress included a number of quote clearly unconstitutional provisions it takes to pass the bill but due to the landslide votes that came out of both the house and the senate the president didn't really have a choice but to sign off on the sanctions on tuesday secretary of state rex tillerson also commented on his and the president's dislike of the new measures but seemed hopeful that russia and the u.s. could move forward despite them. their action by the. congress to put these
12:03 pm
sanctions in place in the way they did another the president nor i are very happy about that we were clear that we didn't think it was going to be helpful to our efforts but that's the decision they made that made it a very overwhelming it was a president accepts that. so these new measures hit russia's and their g. and defense sector and also include fresh think sions against iran and north korea moscow has already hit back with countersink sions reducing america's diplomatic presence in russia by over seven hundred fifty members and seizing two diplomatic properties also wrote today that he can make far better deals with foreign countries than congress that's one of the reasons he was elected is what he claims but clearly measures such as these prevent him from doing just that indeed to be interesting to see the ramifications here jack invoking washington thank you very much indeed thank you. well meanwhile the u.s. has carried out another successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile in
12:04 pm
the pacific it's the second in less than a week and comes amid rising tensions with north korea but while the secretary of state says washington wants dialogue there are signs a military option could also be in the offing. we do not seek an excuse to send our military north of the thirty eighth parallel we're trying to convey to the north koreans we are not your enemy we're not your threat every military expert says there is no good military option they're wrong. to destroy north korea's program and north korea itself he's not going oh well president trump the ability of this madman to have a missile to hit america if there's going to be a war to stop it will be over there. they're going to die over there and they're not going to die here and he's told me that my face may be provocative but i really don't judge politicians by what they say judge them by what they do and by all appearances donald trump is ready for war he's seen the pentagon's
12:05 pm
plans for north korea and the likelihood they've already selected a battle plan is are in motion and what senator lindsey graham has said only goes to reinforce that if millions have to die then so be it are you saying it's ok to use a military option that immediately endangers the lives of millions of people in that region. north korea changes if you have any doubts that the u.s. is preparing for war take a look at what's happening on the ground on the korean peninsula u.s. troops ships jets forces are arriving there in a ceaseless stream and see me sell shields up blanketing the airspace there are endless simulations war games exercises this isn't about scaring north korea no this is about putting all the pieces in place so when the final go order
12:06 pm
comes they're ready to move trump the rule promised to deal with north korea aegis didn't say how. had a little career we're going to be able to handle it will be it will be handled we handle everything. they aren't barbarians they won't rush into a war where potentially millions of people are going to die in the first few days alone. you have rex tillotson the secretary of state running around talking about diplomacy negotiations talks and sanctions a diplomatic effort to dissuade north korea and to stop its nuclear program was unclear whether he himself believes that it's possible breakthrough now when it hasn't happened in decades but donald trump is on a different path and the white house is much more blunt and they're happy to tell
12:07 pm
you nothing the president obviously has been very outspoken about how he feels about north korea were weighing all options keeping all options on the table and as we've said many times before we're not going to broadcast what we're going to do and tell that happens. chinese international relations expert victor gao says this push for war is criminal and will course match the mass casualties this very critical border it is the war mongering and the threat of use war as a means to kill that save millions of people is a very big mistake and it's to walk right the united states really need to calm down and pick up its acts and devolved to the most effective way that these joint efforts of diplomatic devore to achieve the denuclearize asian on the
12:08 pm
korean peninsula it is time for rationality to grow but will it is time for diplomacy and dialogue to prevail it is time to stop bills people in the united states of talking about war chile millions of people on the to everybody so. the man suspected of a deadly knife attack in how back on friday were supposed to have been deported long ago that's according to the german media which claims belin missed a deadline to return him to norway where he first applied for asylum we contacted germany's migration office for comment. in the case of the federal offices read mission request was made on fourteenth of july two thousand and fifteen one day after the deadline norway rejected the federal offices read mission request that germany became responsible for this how and procedure this happens at a time when increased number of asylum seekers had already arrived in germany and the federal office placed enormous challenges well we're starting to unravel what
12:09 pm
is then a tangled web of of mistakes of bureaucratic mistakes that led to a mayday the main suspect in friday speight all stopping even being here in germany we know that he arrived in germany back in twenty fifteen he had no identification and was clearly according to authorities suffering from mental illness mental problems he couldn't be deported at that point back to norway his fingerprints were checked they revealed who he was that he'd applied for asylum in norway that he'd been rejected he could have been sent back immediately he wasn't he missed that deadline and norway effectively said he's your problem right now the federal migration authorities they've said they were overwhelmed by the numbers at that time we're also hearing from the federal prosecutors not in the time he was here in germany he was able to self radicalized that he didn't tended on dying as a martyr in that attack on friday afternoon in a supermarket in hamburg he took
12:10 pm
a or it's he's the main suspect the only suspect in taking a knife from the display in the supermarket removing the packaging and then launching a brutal attack against a fifty year old man who died at the scene seven of the people were wounded as well it's raising a lot of questions over the what the regulations placed on my currents and knowing just who is where and who has the responsibility to deal with whom. well earlier we spoke to former m i five intelligence officer animation chief says the rise in lone wolf terrorist attacks mean europeans are learning to live with the new reality. i think frankly germany was overwhelmed the authorities were overwhelmed and they couldn't keep track the intelligence agencies in germany is facing an uphill battle just trying to keep on top of what is going on in their country and you know there's a correlation there between the welcoming arms of the german people to the refugees which was a wonderful thing to do but the correlation between that and the increase in
12:11 pm
so-called lone wolf wolf attacks not least the the lorry attack in before christmas last year which killed twelve people is amazingly high so i'm sure the debate is going to go on in germany about this people do need to be vigilant and that is the new reality and it's very sad that we have to think like that particularly walking around wondering if there's going to be a lorry or a car plowing into a group of people and again you know there's been many many instances like this that are getting reporting from other countries across europe where people have just done that because of road rage or because they're drunk with their driving under the influence or ever but the automatic reflex of all our populations now is that is this a terrorist attack and there's that sort of kneejerk reaction that fear has been created and that of course at least from an intelligence perspective is the pure definition of terrorism. and you studies found online searches for methods of suicide have risen sharply following the release of the hit netflix
12:12 pm
series thirteen reasons why the controversial show tells the story of a girl who takes her own life and points the finger at who's to blame but it is generated huge concern among parents and psychologists in new zealand the show was slapped with an eighteen certificate making it for adults only while in austria to school girls trying to kill themselves but their teachers managed to stop them at the last minute report suggests that the suicide attempts were inspired by thirty reasons why. ok. can a baker. settle in because i'm about to tell you the story of my life. more specifically why my life ended. and if you're listening to this tape. you're one of the reasons why. in the u.s. two families blame the serious for driving their children to suicide we spoke to the father of a girl who hanged herself just before his sixteenth birthday he says his torso
12:13 pm
suffered from depression and the netflix show pushed her over the edge. the show acted. like there's a word in psychology it's called a trigger that means that you react to something byrom it and it triggers a response with you it left my daughter. feeling worse than she had before this is not the way it's supposed to be my daughter should be alive today i should be able to hold her in my arms should be able to care for her i should be able to hear her. but now i can't she's just gone she's gone from me forever. reaction to the impact zone and that makes a race. nineteen days after the program was released google searches for suicide related topics increased by more than twenty percent that means roughly nine hundred thousand to one point five million more than usual from phrases like
12:14 pm
suicide hotline or teen suicide or more worrying phrases like how to kill yourself all of them are on the rise i've seen multiple psychiatric admission knows that it details the presenting problem of why the teen is is there being one a couple of times them saying that they want to kill themselves in the way that the girl from thirteen reasons why did suicide prevention experts are warning that the show is kind of romanticizing suicide and unhealthy relationships all of which could lead to copycat behavior among teenagers or teenagers who in general are still developing the ability to regulate their emotions and their desires for those teens and especially those who have already perhaps contemplated suicide a series like thirteen reasons why can be problematic let's ask people how concerned they are are you a parent if i am a part now would you allow your son or daughter to watch this this new program with
12:15 pm
a company of apartments where you know if you put something to somebody's head and they already had that thought it might be encouraging but you can't control what people are going to do they might hear it on the street they might hear it in school you know that you never know i mean just because they hear from you doesn't mean it's your fault if you were a parent would you allow your child your children to watch that show louie i would absolutely because i want them to experience well life is all about the ups the downs the ugly the good all records should show that i reckon that people should be able to and all. those types of the space to be honest ok are you a parent. now if you were a parent do you think you would allow your son or daughter to watch that show or have a different view if i was a parent the. do stars of these shows need to be socially and ethically responsible for what they're putting out and at bare minimum that means that for if it's netflix for example before and after each episode in the series they need to put in places for where they can get help such as the suicide prevention lifeline they
12:16 pm
need to be doing that at a bare minimum so that if a child vulnerable child gets triggered during the episode that they know where they can go to turn for help now netflix says they welcome more research as they prepare the next season but parents are asking themselves is there really enough of a reason that we wouldn't want our children to be exposed to such shows. artsy new york. when i mentioned netflix responded to us about the study's findings and also told us the show was intended to promote discussion off a difficult subject however the father we spoke to told us there are other ways to highlight this sensitive issue there are ways to show it i think that there are ways that that it can be done in a positive note but never in a way that was. like this never in a way that protrudes it in such a dark and desperate situation the fact is that netflix does not care what the
12:17 pm
medical profession has to say they don't care what educators have to say they don't even care what parents have to say on netflix cares about is making money from this show is not acceptable and this needs to stop. we still have a voice as consumers or just as citizens we have a voice and we do have power to make change. washington is open almost amid reports turkey is thinking of buying nominate military technology for the story after the break. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. but you'd like to be close to see what before three of them or can't be good.
12:18 pm
interested always in the waters. there should. seem wrong. just don't all. get to shape out just come out. and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
12:19 pm
welcome back the pentagon has expressed concern over turkey's plan to purchase an edge offensive stem from russia washington thinks that should invest in a system produced within nato as russian equipment might not be compatible. generally speaking it's a good idea for allies to buy into operable equipment with any ally with any partner with whom we intend operate we want them to buy things invest in things that will further invest in our lines well russia has not yet confirmed the deal but according to turkey president erdogan has apparently chosen the russian s four hundred surface to air missile system it can be ready within three minutes and has a maximum altitude of around thirty kilometers with a range of four hundred. but this isn't the first time the u.s. and turkey have disagreed over this deal this defense system has more controversy between the two to describe the situation. why should this be
12:20 pm
a concern each country should take certain measures to ensure its security which are the signs to ensure these measures it takes the necessary steps how many times as we took with america but it did not work out so like it or not we began to make plans about the s four hundred our interest department's a negotiating and this step will be taken. let's discuss this issue further with his same chief of the middle east technical university in ankara his saying thank you very much indeed for joining us well let's have a look at the ramifications here the pentagon essentially wants to prevent turkey from investing in russian hardware so exactly would benefit if i am quite aware just crack the steel. i think pentagon's reaction is expected to turkish side holds expected this reaction the question is the turkish american relations experience in recent years high tension because of turkish american differences starting from the kurdish issue in syria
12:21 pm
also a concern on the missile system but what turkey is doing now is this time around on trying to diversify the turkish defense structure and also to get some military equipment not only from nato. of from the united states of america but also from other countries and this creates the biggest problem because they are not compatible they are not applicable. nations. exchange military equipment among themselves the problem is turkey had all these whatever the reason is made and with america difficulties in the seventy's in the sixty's and seventy's turkey has experienced a military embargo by nato and. also in the ninety's by the contras starting
12:22 pm
from germany to all throughout the. turkish defense industry is also making a lot of forward steps in recent years and first time in the turkish history. is taking the moment at least a stance it was made for was the nicest of america which will have long term implications on turkish american and on turkish. relations and i did let's have a look at some of the as we heard it the president at iran's reaction he's angry by washington's pressure of the deal he says if it should be turkey's free to ensure its security in any way that it chooses so this think the deal will go ahead if it's confirmed by russia regardless of what washington says. it is interesting because of course that turkish reaction to a panda going on to american policy in general is that the americans since one year in particular they were not really cooperated rigid turkish. state and russia
12:23 pm
mr putin was from the very beginning. supporting against the free. and also promised after the relations proved to provide military equipment turkey is a good customer doesn't matter where there is russia or the united states of america the problem is how turkey can do this is four hundred missile system on the what capacity and where and against whom this is the rift this is the big problem in turkey and united states of america and i do expect that this confrontation with united states of america includes further i do see that there will be much more difficulties in this respect in the coming months russia i think you're absolutely right that he's saying but i think you have to leave it there but i can see you coming from the middle is it from the middle east and the university
12:24 pm
bank or is that back to you thank you so much your thoughts you see. the ukrainian journalist who's been a vocal critic of the country's or sorties has been arrested on charges of treason and terrorism russia slammed the move claiming it's part of an effort by kiev to silence the opposition media well for more on this let's speak live r.t.s. and release a. hello there everyone exactly how is the journalist being accused of. ukrainian journalist. he's been arrested and detained by the ukrainian security services and he's being investigated for treason for these articles and blogs that he's posted between two thousand and fourteen and two thousand and sixteen and these articles are apparently critical of the ukrainian government and after searching his flat while the ukrainian security services claimed they found evidence that visit he has been paid by so-called russian administrators to publish material at the same time are being investigated
12:25 pm
for terrorism for allegedly spreading material online to garner financial support for anti-government rebels working in eastern ukraine and these rebels is considered by kiev as terrorists but this case really is far from the first example of what some would say ukraine's continued crackdown on anti-government journalists in fact last year a website called my relatives which is translated as peacekeeper it was launched back in two thousand and fourteen and created by the ukrainian security services last year they called global outrage when they published a list of four thousand journalists and media stuff accusing them of being enemies of ukraine that's a quote and also collaborating with terrorists for their reporting in eastern ukraine and critics have described as a witch hunt websites but going back to. well a lot of journalists around the world as well as human rights organizations have
12:26 pm
raised concerns over this as well as the issue of press freedom in ukraine. thank you very much indeed and if you'd like to know more about that story and any of our of those head to our website. north korea. one certainly gets that impression listening to washington's war is north korea. of course it is but it is also under threat is there still time for diplomacy. in case you're new to the game
12:27 pm
this is how. the economy is built around. washington. voters businessman to run this country business if. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us is it just. the only show i go out of my way to you know what it is that really packs a punch at least yap is the john oliver of r t americans do the same we are apparently better than that and see people you never heard of. back to the night president of the world bank. seriously send us an e-mail.
12:28 pm
greetings and salutations you know sometimes when you're when you're paying attention to the world around you life has this very curious way of dropping little warning signs of an impending doom sitting just around the corner you don't radically alter your current plans. like being off for a ride from a friend or just drop the tab acid on three tequila shots or finding that lace bedding spray in someone's bathroom adds life telling you that you probably shouldn't take that riders spend the night there yet another example for those of us who have been following world events lately our headlines like this one from the wall street journal pentagon authors plan to arm ukraine yes apparently now that we allegedly moved on from arming the rebels in syria because we know how well that
12:29 pm
all turned out the u.s. is now it's going to pour a few weapons and explosives into ukraine according to the wall street journal american military officials and diplomats say the arms which they characterized as defensive are meant to deter aggressive actions by moscow us suppose will say they worry that the conflict has intensified with a rising number of cease fire violations as progress on peace efforts has faltered . because yes yes nothing d. intensifies the conflict and brings peace to a region faster than a good influx of arms. i think we all can remember i mean look at it all worked out so well and be acknowledged in the early sixty's or afghanistan in the one nine hundred eighty s. or syria today arms in places that are a little bit warry. works so well i wonder if the state department pentagon.
