we will find you we will investigate you we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. you will not be happy with the result united states is urgently addressing leaks from the white house transcripts of from schools with world leaders all released by the media raising fears over national security. russia's foreign minister warns the future of anti terror cooperation with the u.s. could now be uncertain to president trump approved a new sanctions bill blaming congress for souring relations with moscow. and the opposition in venezuela says it will defy the newly elected constituent assembly

and continue to work in the politics. thanks for joining us this evening my name is neil harvey you're watching international. top officials from the trump ministration of lashed out at the continued leaks of classified information coming from the white house saying that they are damaging the country and the warning was issued there on the hunt for the leak. leaks are incredibly damaging to our intelligence mission and capabilities simply put these leaks hurt our country if you improperly disclose classified information we will find you we will investigate you we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law and you will not be happy

with the result. while the strong words from the officials came up to teen trump of being hit by yet another scandal over an unauthorized disclosure on the course but inject the inventor has more from washington. attorney general jeff sessions and the director of national intelligence sent a clear message that a crackdown is coming on what they called the culture of leaks in america both men stress the fact that these disclosures of classified information put national security at risk and jeopardize all americans exceptional spoke on the fact that they have seen a sharp rise in illegal leaks reporting that in the first six months of the trumpet ministration the department of justice has received almost as many criminal referrals over leaks as over the past three years combined turn a general also added that these leaks are affecting trump's ability to do his job effectively. no government can be effective when its leaders cannot discuss

sensitive matters when it so freely in confidence with foreign leaders for the first time sessions revealed that for prosecutions are already underway and implied that more might be coming and one of trump's closest advisors kellyanne conway has even speculated that using a lie detector test on people in the west wing is a possibility to root out the sources of these leaks so this show of force comes after the washington post published what is likely the most dangerous leak to have happened up to this point the transcripts of trump's phone calls with two foreign leaders from back in january of this year that these documents getting out is seen as explosive given that they involve highly classified conversations with the mexican president and the australian prime minister the call records reveal that trump argued with his mexican counterpart about his proposed border wall and show tension between trump and the australian prime minister over refugees. my position has been and will continue to be very firm saying that mexico cannot pay for that wall but you cannot say that to the press the press is going to go with that and i

cannot live with that you cannot say that to the press because i can not negotiate under those circumstances this is a big deal it is really really important to us that we maintain it it doesn't oblige you to take one person that you do not want this is going to kill me the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country and likely in response to leaked documents such as those being published sessions offered a warning to the press saying that prosecutors have launched a review of the justice department's policy related to subpoenas involving media organizations implying that the press could be held responsible for publishing classified information the term administration has long been fighting to stop illegal leaks and now it's clear that they mean business. we discuss the latest on the leaks with columnist for the new york observer and a walker he believes such disclosures amount to treason and in danger international

communication. if you cannot have a sensible conversation with between world leaders then that is a significant problem i mean i cannot actually understand how on earth transcripts from a private phone call between two allies that be the united states i lost trailer has managed to get out but clearly there is a subversive force within the american government the leaks in the american government are extremely damaging mixed to be dangerous to a wide variety of people both abroad under home national security is being undermined they have to do absolutely everything the one thing that is totally unacceptable is for these leaks to continue some people in their desperation to undermine president trump are actually risking the national security of the united states of america on what worst crime of treason can be the nuts. which is foreign ministry has warned cooperation with the united states on antiterrorism measures could be in jeopardy and this is after president donald

trump signed to latest sanctions bill on wednesday right after which took to twitter pointing out the blame for souring relations between america and russia lies soley with congress he also called the russia sanctions bill which received overwhelming support in both houses quote clearly unconstitutional so despite the state department on numerous occasions claiming cooperation with russia was vital. we share the common view of isis as a threat to both of our countries in the united states and russia should be able to work together in areas of mutual cooperation. if you look at the cease fire in southwest syria that has now taken hold and for the most part succeeded for nearly a month now. let's get more reaction to this story now can speak to terrorism expert david lowe joins me on the line good evening david we heard the statement from the russian foreign ministry the u.s. they say could be about to lose an ally in the war on terrorism would that be

a big blow for the u.s. absolutely massive blow not just for the u.s. i think globally i mean the groups who are looking at certainly like islamic state or. we want to call them they are an international threat not not just to russia europe so the rest of your global throat and i think what we're seeing here is politics getting in the way of progress in dealing with terrorism we can do it with terrorism donald trump has their own problems with both the congress itself and the house of representatives in the senate and i don't think this is what we're seeing is some politicking that's going on here i think it appears that donald trump does want cooperation with the russian government but he can't get it because this function is issue and i think this is this could be problematic further down the line. ok now this comment coming from the russian side it followed an earlier

statement from the u.s. state department i just want to listen to that now. so are you saying that russia is to blame for the wall in relations right now plug russia's been involved in a lot of activities a lot of activities that are very concerning i know to many of you and to many americans whether it is alexion related activities or their activities in ukraine they've also harassed u.s. diplomats there i mean there are a whole host of things. so the u.s. state department taking a very strong stance against russia and it seems like cooperation over terrorism may be the victim is this playing into the hands of the terrorists or in some ways is i mean. you should look at what's happened in syria there are different interests by different states in a different outcome i mean we've had the u.s. u.s. led coalition we've probably if you like in effect work and watching the coalition but at least there was some progress that was being made to fight this common enemy

and anything that we can this only strengthens the hand of groups like i should mean i mean let's focus on territory that they are going to lose the more territory right there will fall then surely when that happens i don't know but you know we are talking sure it's then how to deal with the ideology the the influence that they haue on individuals around the world that we're all working together and i'll deal with. the eternal optimist in me but i don't want is exchanging intelligence related to groups like this between two maybe traditionally. have been uncooperative or suspicion on my side but when i listen to the comments that's coming out from the u.s. this can go back to the election campaign with all of the presidential election campaign. with the accusations that what she was assisting donald trump was

unusually not a system of from. which scene of the fallout from over. those are the issues of the this is the danger and we have looked up to we couldn't with . this booklet with that we should move to that's a separate issue but let's work together because we're so close to geographically defeat in this group but that's the problem and we should put those differences and work together david much appreciate you coming on our to international giving is your views terrorism expert david lowe is my guest. more than six hundred civilians are likely to have been killed in coalition air strikes in iraq and syria since operation in resolve began three years ago this is according to a new report made by the coalition however the coalition still says it has more than four hundred reports to assess of possible civilian casualties but the u.k.

based air wars watchdog cites other figures they were obtained by its own assessments and claim that more than four and a half thousand civilians have been killed in coalition air strikes since the start of the operation many more were forced to flee war torn regions they described what they saw. nothing is left in iraq except for destruction by the coalition and isis but the strikes of the coalition with some villages were wiped out families children and women will hit by random strikes we wish to be rid of both isis the coalition at the head of. the coalition carried out and strikes on schools children. many civilians were injured when the coalition hospitals as well and. i'm now in force great coalition she says tell us a cool so we started going to you most of civilians were killed in that last strike they were sheltering at that time. no surprise the coalition is going to want to

under play any of the sort of casualty numbers for civilians from the operations in mosul and in iraq as well and because it's political you know the whole operation against isis is political if you look at it if you're in the united states it's all about the theater of what the u.s. is achieving whether it's under president obama or whether it's under president trump and everything's kind of viewed through that weird kaleidoscope in the united states and it has nothing to do with what's going on the ground just segregate this and talk about syria alone the united states has no legal basis to be there at all any life that is an illegal unlawful killing on on behalf the united states coalition should even be operating over the skies in syria anyway. the opposition in venezuela says that the country's parliament will refuse to dissolve itself even if ordered to do so by the freshly elected constituent

assembly the new bodies holding its first session right now international community has expressed its concerns the u.s. being the most vocal of those branding last sunday's vote illegitimate it's also called president nicolas maduro as leadership a dictatorship and as proud as the report is it doesn't take much to be deigned to dictate to these days. little the jew know there is actually two ways to become a dictator there's the obvious way brutally oppressed your people crush dissent and rule with an iron fist method to annoy america yesterday's illegitimate elections confirm that material is a dictator who disregards the will of the venezuelan people that's going to hurt when the us brands you a dictator all bets are off even if you really aren't one and he claim of your

crimes is taken as fact international law stops working or your enemies suddenly get a lot of money and in many cases shiny new guns called the sea of uncles in syria we have ramped up on military assistance to the syrian opposition. remember what happened to saddam will assad blame them foot anything and it will stick the name of the game was regime change exporting democracy and that's a heck of a lot easier when you put trade the other guy as the cuts whom villain syrian dictator bashar. assad is a war criminal thugs and a murderer like bashar al assad it's already begun their equating duro to kim jong un that's crazy talk you might think there are no concentration camps there are elections with dora himself he joins

a very exclusive club including mr mcgarvie. and and and kim jong un in terms of the brutal repression of his people what about this guy the king of saudi arabia his opponents a tortured and executed in public his family controls everything in saudi arabia he has deprived his people of freedom democracy choice talk about dancing with the devil. what does washington do sells hundreds of billions of dollars worth of weapons to saudi arabia. how's that for double standards us foreign policy is entirely hypocritical i mean they only characterize government says dictatorial or

authoritarian when they're not favorable to us interests us maintains close ties and supports their monarchy in saudi arabia that's one of the biggest abusers of human rights in the world when it comes to putting labels on governments and other nations it all depends on who's a friend or a foe of the united states sad isn't it you can rule oppress and kill all you want without repetitions but only if you bend the knee to washington or you can do none of that and still wind up being called a dictator. poland and the e.u. probably don't need each other at least that's according to the european council chief donald tusk the remarks from the former polish prime minister came during a press conference in warsaw a lot of that but. i feel this is

a prelude to announcing that poland does need the e.u. the e.u. doesn't need poland i believe that would be one of the most dangerous moments in our history i'm afraid we're closer rather than farther away from the moment warsaw in brussels have been embroiled in a number of disputes for some time now past month the polish parliament approved controversial reforms to the judiciary handing the government control over the country's course despite strong objections brussels also banned logging in an ancient polish forest but also went ahead and partially cut it down anyway migration has been causing tension to simply because poland won't open its doors to a single wygant professor of economics at kingston university steve keen believes the whole concept of the e.u. needs a rethink. like it's a saw in the us not working on this is what's not getting through to brussels at all they wouldn't be the clamoring for exit from from the u.k. there wouldn't be the potential to very rich and almost victory of marine le pen

all the the rumblings in italy it's all us on the system is not working there's something fundamental at the core of the european union the politically they want to leave will not join and it's getting through to the brussels executives that this is actually their problem their failure that's causing all these eruptions around their borders what we really need to do is say let's get down and reconsider what on earth we were trying to achieve with the european union in the first place and why is it being so on successful was it only benefiting the northern states which got enormous strides surpluses while the salva months of suffering with right deficit's and all the contraction that falls upon them when you look at it that way and say we have now to reconsider the in trot structurally you know maybe we should even let the parliamentarian sort of close bills which of course the european union is the only problem and that doesn't allow that so it's a time for think for a fundamental reexamination of the european union. buns for a new synagogue in sydney australia have been banned amid fears that it could

become the target of an isolated spied terror attack decision by the local council was upheld in court this week the synagogue in question was to be built a few hundred metres away from the iconic bondi beach authorities though ruled that it could pose a threat to local residents extra security measures were added to the plans but these were deemed unsightly by the council a spokesman for the jewish group that the pealed against the decision believes that the ruling is a victory for the terrorists. it basically implies that no jewish organization should be allowed to exist in residential areas it stands to stand for jewish existence and activity in sydney and indeed by creating a precedent the whole of australia and by extension rewarding terrorism. potential terrorist attacks have already been hitting the headlines this week in australia after a plot to blow up an airliner was foiled two men would charge with tara fences on

thursday over an aborted attempt to place an explosive device on a flight leaving sydney police called it one of the most sophisticated plots ever attempted in the country running state reportedly helped to organize it by this australian jewish activist in yemen a belief that the terrorists are still winning a new synagogue being banned. targeting the jewish community because they may become victim or the radical islamists it's certainly not the way to go about it it's sending the wrong message that's a win for the islamists exactly what they want they are trying the way our society i'll be leaving a demonstration the next sunday. from across the border across the street society who are outraged by this. this is not a jewish issue this isn't a strain issue tomorrow it could be a stadium it could be a train station it could be any stray is will not care what terrorism and

they want to see our government islamic terror they don't. now amid the current turmoil in the white house donald trump is delighted with one positive development namely record gains on the american stock market but the president's joy could be short lived and he's killed more than explains. the u.s. stock market is riding high and there's no one more happy about it than the man in the oval office we've picked up substantially now more than four trillion dollars in net worth in terms of our country our stocks our companies well that sounds great right well that depends on who you ask first let's quiz some movers and shakers here on wall street what do you think of the spike in the markets the donald trump's been talking about look it's obviously great news that the economy is doing well i think that's generally a good buy for everyone you know on the other hand i think it's not unusual for a new administration to sometimes won't take credit for

a trend that might have surfaced in the previous one this is are looking to see that there's going to be no more regulation and they're happy to see that. the market is following suit but the average american doesn't really share their enthusiasm a big a lot of people are suffering out there you china to go union jobs like you know i mean everybody everybody is inside of the opinion but from what i've seen like. we're all struggling a lot of people don't have jobs. the jobs you know housing and everything is a semester of everything is going downhill maybe the working classes have a reason to be skeptical stocks all around the world are tanking because of the crisis on wall street like the puppies do for twenty years and they're losing their jobs and these cars are going to go out this is a nice big i think that's the mood actually i did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of you know fat cat bankers on wall street on and on and on regulator after

regulator they either chose not to act or turned a blind eye to what was actually gone it was a lack of regulation that many people blamed for the chaos that took place back in two thousand and eight but fast forward to today president trump says that too much regulation is the problem we have had regulation that's been so bad. so out of line that it's really hurt our country and now not everyone agrees with the president on the. a recent report from the public advocacy group called public citizen had this to say the trumpet ministrations changes would make americans more vulnerable to the sort of reckless bets that appended the economy in two thousand and eight and two scams men scrupulous bankers but trump says that this is just the beginning what we're going to be doing over the next six months will be incredible we've signed more bills and i'm talking about through the legislature than any president ever yes everybody agrees that two thousand and eight was

a big mess but the question on people's minds now is is the current spike in the market held by trump just a rise getting ready for a big four. r.t. new york. journalist brenton l'engle fear is another market crash is looming if too much power is given to the banks it's the same attitude that led to two thousand and eight. the banking sector is notoriously bad at judging its own risk it's one of the reasons why you need strong regulations on banks and the trumpet ministration doesn't seem interested in you know really paying any attention to the financial sector beyond like just let them do what they want to do and we've seen what happens when they do what they want to do they crash the economy they put a bunch of people out of work suicide to go up and you know you get occupy wall street trump is crowing a lot about how the stock market is doing very well under him but the fact is he has nothing to do with it the only thing that trump has been able to do mostly is

to scare the market. with various regulations. recent figures in the united kingdom show among increase in the number of children calling for help out of fear of being forced into a range of marriages the data was collected by the british children's charity the honest p.c.c. . if the decisions being made to feel being told when memory where you marry who you marry that's. supporting advice is available to help you make it stop. or the charity says that there's been a twelve percent increase in counseling sessions relating to arranged marriages compared with the previous year is web page dedicated to the issue has received more than six thousand hits and there's also been an increase in the actual number of forced child marriages new figures show a seventeen percent increase in the u.k.

in just a year majority of the children are from countries where child marriages are part of the culture we spoke to one woman who was set to be forced into marriage back when she was just thirteen she told us her story although we have protected her identity. i came home from school or to find in gage an artificially so when i asked my mom who's in gauge what was in it she said it was yours and did to go upstairs and get ready because it was my heart and so. on it got to the stage where i was going to get married runaway before so went through the gate on party and then i decided i was going to get married nobody was going to force me to get married so i decided that i was going to run away from one city to the next. so why did was i saved some money up stole some money from a brother who was a taxi driver eleven days going back twenty years ago. so pretty in english pounds took that on

a coach from one city to the next and never went back i was kind shocked. and never met him in my life so although he was a cousin didn't mean in my life at all so scared in front of all didn't want to go through with it because i'm british spies i was concerned i was british i was born here i was raised here so i should do what the british values are one of the walls i didn't want to get moaned and disappointed because i would have thought there would be more awareness on the subject now somebody has pointed out you know after twenty what used to still happen it should happen we should embrace british values because we're pretty we should force our children to get married so he's disappointed we need to do more as a society more to conquer and stop is abuse from when. we spoke to just when the sun garry who campaigns to protect children from forced marriages when she was sixteen she was locked in a room after she refused to marry a man chosen by her parents she ran away with a secret boyfriend and stop talking to her family later she found out the one of

her sisters who was married at fifteen had committed suicide here's what she told us. people believe because we are democracy because we have to live through all that these things couldn't possibly be happening in england clearly they are and it's very important to know that forced marriage and underage use is fundamentally against every religion islam seeks the hindu is fundamentally speaks out against it but other victims are not. so families which use these as just if occasions but we need to send out very strong messages that in britain it's a criminal offense to force and it's marriage and this is not acceptable in any religion tradition or culture but i victims need to know that they haven't been taught that because it's not in the interest of their family to tell them that because it would empower them. thanks so much for tuning into art international this evening don't forget you can have party with you on the go who are available
