5:01 am
story is being exploited by the mainstream media. for my meeting with donald trump jr has been orchestrated and now this story has proven to be gold for so many. to come and you're watching a day in moscow now eleven in the morning in paris of course and that's where the top story centers this hour in a suburb of the european capital where a car has been driven into a group of soldiers a small about a fifteen local time six of the two seriously. is there at the scene charlotte bring us up to speed i don't know how many twenty twenty one months into the country go and stay. of emergency the terror of. continues yeah now
5:02 am
underway for the person who was growing up in that vehicle which was driven into the soldiers here just outside the or just in the mark up of paris school. ok now we understand six soldiers were injured in that incident. seriously injured able to take him to hospital for treatment now this is quite a surprising development in an area like this and it's taken many find surprise the police are describing it as apparently they looking at it as being it deliberate act but the local mayor of this vicinity has gone even further describing this as an only tack this is what he witnessed this morning. one. of the barracks drivers obviously waiting for some of us want to leave i believe it can be called a planned act. oh. well that was the mayor of the local area
5:03 am
describing what he saw the smalling the police haven't gone far yet at that but we understand that that manhunt is underway meanwhile here there is still a very strong police presence as people try and work out exactly what happened this morning the details that we know are just that a car was driven into a group of soldiers we understand that they were doing a change of guard and it was a soldiers from the thirty fifth infant registry who were injured in that attack but we understand although serious injuries none have life threatening injuries now this is just the latest in a long list of attacks here in france right that we to two thousand and fifteen went over with those attacks on the head of the six hiroko magazine. then in two thousand and fifteen the november it was that night of attacks here in paris in which many dozens of people were killed in those plaited attacks and this year
5:04 am
again they have been a new number of attacks here in tiris starting at the beginning just improperly when soldiers were attacked by a man who was wielding a machete knight then they train him or we hadn't acted on the police officers at all the airports paris nobody was killed in that attack but then in april a police officer was actually shot dead on the shoulders in these eight and on saturday night there was an attack on the eiffel tower so this is just the latest in a string of small scale terror incidents here in paris this year alone you know sounds like a real close call that sort of could hear me earlier are really noisy road to recovery shall i come back to us later more of. thank you so much the other big story we're following today what's happening with north korea the united states from north korea most threatening to strike the u.s. territory in goa according to its state news agency it's after president strongly
5:05 am
worded warning to north korea's leader over missile tests and nuclear threats. what . make it even worse. they will be met with fire fury. like. never seen. a lonely do the kind of rhetoric coming from the most of us president will we really well have before made that statement the washington post actually published an article claiming that they got their hands on this report as u.s. defense report and then in this report it claims that. the north korea has developed a nuclear warhead small enough to fit inside the missile and besides that it also put a nuclear arsenal at sixty nuclear weapons which is a lot more than previously thought now this washington post article it didn't present any sort of evidence to show that they actually that reporters and in washington post got their hands on this document but the site that is picked up by the american mainstream media has been widely reported but besides this washington
5:06 am
post report while things really got to a boiling point on tuesday when the u.s. flew to b. one b. bombers over with its allies in japan and south korea it is because after these drills that north korea has issued a statement saying that they are considering to strike a u.s. base in guam now bear in mind that it's true throughout this year north korea has conducted numerous missile tests and it has angered the international community but at the same time while north korea is flexing its military muscles the u.s. has also significantly stepped up its military presence in the region we're talking about saying an air air carrier is conducting regular drills sending in troops and also fighter jets and so that's that's that in terms of rhetoric president donald trump well he's long been adopted aggressive attitude towards north korea and some would even call it provocative take a listen to what he has been saying about north korea in the past the year of strategic patience. with the north korean regime has failed.
5:07 am
many years and it's failed united states is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies one of our capabilities lies with our considerable military forces every military expert says there is no good military option they're wrong. to destroy north korea's program and north korea itself is a good chance that we could end up. having a major major conflict with north korea. absolutely. and tensions on the korean peninsula really is higher than ever and has gone far beyond just a war for its china russia has been calling for all sides to calm down and seek a political solution to this crisis unfolding there and meanwhile australia new zealand also weighed in on what they thought about tom's latest statement to us and . because i think the comments are not helpful and informative satiric teams
5:08 am
everyone wants to avoid military confrontation the global community led by the security council including trauner in russia how are all united in seeking to bring the maximum economic pressure on north korea to bring them to their senses with out conflict that they're waiting to see whether or not trump will take their advice but certainly this situation in north korea has got a lot of people worried in the international community and keep following that he was posted thanks emily so as tempers rise in patients within his expert reaction we've been hearing though where it may go. what this can't be is an ego fight and right now what it felt like was a fight between trump on one side and kim on the other and to see who could make more outlandish statements and the fear is that if somebody flinches if somebody screws up there could be hundreds of thousands of dead people here this is a very real fight this is shockingly dangerous and the last thing we need to do is
5:09 am
stand down and start bumping chests and talk about who's the bigger man i think the north koreans have put forth look we will stop our missile tests if you stop your war games we've been doing war games on that peninsula for fifty or sixty years from now so what good does it to walk away from that entry point into negotiations other than the fact that the united states simply does not want to really enter into negotiations i think that's been the road map for the way and i states has conducted itself with adversaries throughout the last half century with north korea it seems as if we are expecting them to put up so much for us without the united states putting up anything in this case pulling back the war games is not a big concession because we can always just restart the war games. elsewhere they

would be leagues is offering a job to a google engineer who sat over an internal corporate memo the web giant's move spoke to debate then over free speech and corporations generally mean time wiki leaks said it's a julian assange has accused google of censorship and tweeted that it's not fair to fire employees for freely expressing their thoughts and genea james to more was fired off to sending a memo criticizing google's diversity policies his bosses say the breach that code of conduct next column open looks into what was in the memo. in corporate boardrooms across america the buzz word is meritocracy ideology isn't supposed to matter employees are supposed to be hired judged and promoted based on their skills and ability however the high tech firm known as google seems to be straying from this free market ideal and now employees can be fired if they step away from the liberal social justice party line they recently fired an employee and
5:11 am
sent out this memo portions of the memo violate our code of conduct and crossed the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace so what is it that he said what stereotypes was he promoting well here are the fatal words i'm simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in poet's you to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don't see equal representation of women in tech and leadership now those are fighting words as far as some people are concerned and the guy is not going to win any popularity contests to be fair by having a top employee make comments like this google opens itself up to the danger of lawsuits and allegations of discrimination in hiring but is there an ideological criteria for working at google let's take a look at where some of this thought crime logic leads. google won't fix john with unconscious bias training when they keep employing people who are proud of their conscious bias honestly if no one is fired over this google should just admit the
5:12 am
commitment to women is window dressing the article is publicly supported by many people internally that's the question how many privately supports agree or subscribe there are many people who google who share this guy's views they do peer performance reviews and interview people they discriminate yes the usa heralds itself as the land of the free and the home of the brave but on certain college campuses in silicon valley and in other parts of the country there's an atmosphere brewing where if you have the wrong political opinions or cultural views there can be very harsh consequences. r.t. new york well it's put more meat on the bones of this war not the end of the spectrum one side legal analyst law and movie other journalist michael cera no vids sharing their thoughts on google with us. what kind of idiot would decide. google to basically slam diversity to refer to women in particular
5:13 am
most of descriptions which might under some. interpretation of human behavior might be considered all valid but to others patently offensive what is google supposed to do this fellow who wrote the memo he will never work in a normal corporation or a big corporation ever again in america a what he staggered was basically one interpretation that women were inferior. based upon a variety of reasons and rationale which to him i'm sure makes sense and by the way he may be now the darling of the right right the libertarian right whatever you want to call them the memo in fact most people reporting on it never read it the people criticizing it i read it it was quite sound quite sane it was temperate he even said that nothing in this memo means that we should respect everybody we should respect everybody and then google went around and fired him and showed him that the left does not respect anybody who has independent thought the problem is
5:14 am
not that we don't understand what the problem is that this is a sensitive to people what google then has to do is address the other workers as it were to me i must fended by this do you endorse this when you don't have actual evidence that you're being the victim of sexism but you want to believe a victim and become a victim then you find evidence whether it's. in other headlines today the russian lawyer at the center of a collusion scandal with donald trump's team isn't giving more details about the pressure she says she faced from the president's opponents and the u.s. media last month. was dragged into that huge oh i'm going rove a claims that rushed into feet of the u.s. election. meeting with the president's son in case. we all know her name now and tell us about sky italia vessel and its natalya vessel needs sky and italia the sound that sky have natalia vessel night sky i. don't wake up one morning and find
5:15 am
you know the focus all from all the fire and kin up stream media. you know what if it turns out it was nothing well i can tell you now in an exclusive interview airing here later this hour the telling of us amidst the talks in depth about how she's being treated by the mainstream media. my story has nothing to do with politics i did not really care who would be in power the republicans or democrats i do not care about how the situation is unfolding today mine was a human story it had nothing to do with politics i was really amazed at how the us media machine operates on july eighth the new york times sent me a request for comment they asked me to reply to
5:16 am
a list of questions i was surprised by many questions relating to the trump jr meeting i was not even able to recall the exact date because it seemed like a poncing meeting it did not lead anywhere there was no outcome so i sent a detailed reply to the new york times and surprisingly in their post on july eighth they only publish small extracts from my statement only what they needed now that same piece looks completely different on their website it has been thoroughly revised there is a huge difference from the original article that was published on july eighth to me it looks like an orchestrated story the whole scandal over my meeting with donald trump jr has been carefully orchestrated and blown out of proportion we have come so close to the truth of how russian budget funds were stolen and that affair i just happened to be on the front line so to speak and i challenge mr brown to publicly he invented all of this he and nobody else he and his team set it all up

it is extremely difficult to find a smarter media manipulator than bill browder if you want to quote memory cut this is complicated american finance a bill broder emerged as a central player in the scandal between the television it's donald trump jr and even testified before u.s. senate committee about leaks state department e-mails reveal that broder had all along been gathering information and personal details about vacillates why while she believes he then ramped up his public vendetta he had lost a lengthy court battle three months ago against a russian owned real estate firm in cyprus stay with me which she was representing there is the connection he accused it of money laundering but it has to be said the case was settled and the firm was cleared up. but i think that browder himself is a pawn in someone's hands because this story has proven to be gold for so many it was gold five years ago when it made the very first russia sanctions act happen and it's gold now especially now is gold for the present day tabloids for politics and

the mass media with its anti trump frenzy this is art international so much more to come with me kevin owen you can stay around coming up turkey has got big plans to establish its largest ever military base abroad in somalia but it's getting crowded there find out why it's causing friction and who else is there right after the break. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the. early show i go out of my way to. really pack the. john oliver of r t america's. apparently better than. i see people you've never heard of redacted the night president of the world bank. seriously send us an email. what politicians do. put

5:20 am
a presence the next year a cheater explains somalis attraction these days to foreign militaries. the horn of africa has seen a surge in foreign military bases china has agreed to open its first there and it's capturing the imagination of film directors on the big screen. they say violence never solves anything. be sure it's fun to. let you know you might not. one hot spot is djibouti it's currently housing americans japanese and french troops but it's not the only country welcoming foreign militaries turkey is due to open its largest overseas military base in somalia the united arab emirates there in somalia two after they agreed a thirty year lease for a base in the self-proclaimed state of somaliland so the burning question is why
5:21 am
why the influx what are they doing there to confront terrorism and piracy working to central command to ensure that the civilian shipping lines have not lax their security to a point that terrorists will not enjoy the food is it helping well the problem still remains peristyle attacks ordinated attack underway in the somali capital of mogadishu there have in the last month been for five maybe six. attacks here in the region military spokesperson says if you are a service member has been killed in somalia for the first time a new bloodshed in somalia a car bomb exploding near a police station a recent example saw a luxury cruise ship or the holiday makers to switch off lights and refrain from playing music for ten days due to the threat of pirates in the region so the question is why such a significant increase in military presence well good question african affairs expert though johnson believes the world powers are turning the continent of the
5:22 am
latest theater of military confrontation. now we're seeing africa again being the center ground for the new verge of proxy war i would call it because all these different countries which are fighting military bases on the african is a huge worry china who is already having a military base of its own excuses that it's all to merely want to protect its own investment which we know it has the americans have similar bases not to mention the europeans all seem to have a huge stake and wanting to show that they. might show their muscles and their military capabilities against one another and that strength comus at the expense of every single african nation automotive the biggest losers will be every single individual on the african continent. another volleys being fired in the increasingly frosty relations between the u.s. and iran president rouhani is warning donald trump against committee would cause

political suicide by trying to undermine the big round nuclear deal. those who intend to tear up the nuclear deal have to know that they would tear up the scroll of their own political life by doing that. don't trouble about a good word to say about said a red nuclear deal and recently there's been reports that his administration is reviewing whether or not to withdraw from the agreement completely it is a total and complete catastrophe it's one of the most incompetent contract. despite the us president's claims there's been little evidence that iran is not complying to round fulfilled its commitments to ship and rich to rain into russia as well as mothballing centrifuges and removing the call from a reactor we got reaction from some raining m.p.'s on their side of it. scopus the islamic republic of iran will not be the first to violate the deal the
5:24 am
trumpet ministration is trying to push your own to do this but they will not succeed the iranian parliament will issue a statement confirming iran's commitments of the joint comprehensive plan of action but if the other side violates the deal we will act accordingly we will continue to remain fully compliant the americans have always violated international agreements not just the nuclear agreement trump spoke of many things during his presidential campaign and what he says now is totally different to what he said back then. draw risk on the long term limit republic of iran has announced but quickly resume uranium enrichment if the u.s. violates the joint comprehensive plan of action and would reach a higher grade uranium enrichment obviously. it's not difficult for iran to restart iranian enrichment or high grade remain committed to the nuclear deal and so far the americans are doing the same but if they cease to comply we will change our course and return to where we were before the recent. race rows broken out over
