four o'clock here in moscow you're watching international now amid growing tensions between north korea and the u.s. president has emphasized the strength of america's nuclear arsenal he said he will move to renovate and modernize the u.s.a.'s weapons adding that america will never be overtaken as the world superpower president gave a strong warning to north korea's leader kim yang threatened to strike the u.s. pacific territory of guam. make it work ranch to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen before trying to make that rather explosive statement

while the washington post actually published an article claiming that their reporters have read this latest u.s. defense report which says that north korea has managed to build these small nuclear warheads a small enough to fit inside missiles so rather alarming information but this washington post article well they did not present any sort of evidence to prove how they managed to get their hands on this on this document and despite that the story's been picked up by the american mainstream media has been widely reported and here's a sample of what those reports are like confirming a u.s. intelligence assessment on north korea that was first reported by the washington post earlier today in the assessment is that north korea now has a weapon a nuclear weapon that is small enough to fit on a missile u.s. intelligence analysts believe the north could now produce a miniaturized nuclear warhead that can fit inside its missile and north korea become a full fledged nuclear power it may have crossed a key threshold something the world has been fearing for years the north has successfully developed maybe nuclear warhead now on top of this washington post

article things got to a boiling point on choose day when the u.s. flew to b. one b. bombers over guam with its allies in japan and south korea and after that drill while the president made that statement saying that he's respond to threats from north korea with fire and theory and that prompted pyongyang to release a statement saying that they are considering striking the u.s. base in guam now bear in mind that is true i mean throughout the years and also this year alone north korea has conducted numerous missile tests which angered the international community but at the same time the u.s. is also increasing its military presence significantly in the region we're talking about sending an air carrier is conducting regular military drills setting and troops and also fighter jets to the region and in terms of rhetoric while president obama has long been quite aggressive towards north korea and some would even go as far as saying that he's been provoked here's a sample of have the u.s. officials have commented on north korea in the past the year of strategic patience . with the north korean regime has failed many years that 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 this is a little appears sure the nation if you compare it to our capabilities. to being even close to. all the chance that we could and. having a major major conflict with north korea. absolutely tensions are higher than ever as gone way beyond just a war of words china and russia have been calling on all sides to remain calm and to seek a political solution to all of this and meanwhile australia and new zealand who are countries that are countries in the asia pacific region also u.s. allies and they could suffer greatly if a conflict is to break out on the korean peninsula they have also come out to weigh in on what they thought about trump's latest statement because i think the comments are not helpful and informants during teams everyone wants to avoid military

confrontation the global community. the security council including trauner and russia. all united in seeking to bring the maximum economic pressure on north korea to bring them to their senses without conflict have to wait and see whether trump will take their advice but certainly the escalating tensions on the korean peninsula has got a lot of people worried and many so you will trumps words have also been widely condemned by u.s. lawmakers congressman eliot engel has called the latest remarks reckless he says that trump is undermining america's security and putting its allies in danger too we got reaction from a number of analysts they too believe that the american president is taking huge risks by. the tension. 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 flinch 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 stand on it start bumping chests and talk about who's the bigger man i think president trumps rhetoric calling for war and calling for destruction calling for unprecedented fire and fear is the wrong message to say by the u.s. president of his time and this is definitely the wrong thing to do. now in other news this afternoon a man has reportedly been shot and arrested is french police for a driver who passed into a group of soldiers in the north of paris this morning six were injured two seriously as a result of the incident surely due bensky joins us live now with more details in paris charlotte what more do we know then at this point. well what we know is that a man has been arrested by elite forces on

a highway in the north of france when the stand between the morning counties that's a highway on the cool coast of northern france and we understand that that man is believed to be the person behind the attack here outside the soldiers barracks in paris this morning although that has not yet been confirmed but we do know though is that during that incident there was a shootout and the person who's been arrested was shot five times and the police officer was also injured to be doing about shootouts now that comes after the incident which took place here at about quarter past eight paris time this morning where a car was allegedly parked outside these barracks and hit a group of soldiers injuring six soldiers and seriously injuring three of those soldiers all around hoss. and all are receiving treatment at the moment well the local mayor of this area whose office is just a few hundred yards away from where the since took place saw what happened this is

what he said. i want to sit with it he said there were a dozen officers at the entrance at seven fifty seven in the morning when a car which was parked at the end of the road rammed into the mid speed while they were approaching their vehicle. they did not choose the location by charms there are many police officers and cameras are everywhere on the video we can see the attacker and how the attack took place the place is symbolic just as the eiffel tower or parrish airport or not they came to this town where anti terrorist forces are doing a remarkable job. well an investigation has been opened by the paris prosecutor's office that's according to the news agency a.p. and apparently they're looking at charging the suspect and with attempted murder of security forces in connection with a terrorist enterprise now this hasn't yet still been confirmed as being

a terror attack but it gives you a sense that they are treating it potentially as such and we have heard from the interior minister today who said that this was a deliberate act confirming their what we heard from the man now in addition to that of course france is on high alert has been for twenty one months now a state of emergency since that night of terror here in paris in november two thousand and fifteen and while france itself has been subject to a number of large scale attacks in the last few months paris particularly has been hit by smaller attacks it started in february of this year when a machete wielding man tried to attack a group of four soldiers outside the new for museum then there was an attack it only airport the second largest airport in the city after that a police officer was killed during a shootout. and there have been several other attacks since then about six or seven since the beginning of this year so while president back on his talked about lifting that state of emergency by november to it's the end of this year that may

not be possible and it remains to be seen whether he will be able to do that given the amount of small scale attacks that this country is still experiencing. there in paris for as well as she said french security forces have been the target of a number of terror attacks in twenty seventy. her. job was up. we discussed the issue with security experts here's what they had to say. this does

fit a passon of isis inspired attacks against the security services in france so there's a high probability i suggest that this is one such thing. just as what it is it is well that if that is the case this person will already be known to the security agencies we've seen time after time after time with all the attacks across europe over the last couple of years that every one of the perpetrators has already been on the radar security agencies and because they're drowning in the data that they're hoovering up about all of this they're not targeting the people it should be under act and just occasionally you must put security forces on the street to be seen to be acting in opposition to the threat to the country but in so doing as is demonstrated here you're also providing them with any number of targets i don't know if there is a complete also of it we're going to see more of this certainly quite how we're going to defend ourselves and our forces against us i don't know. now we can leagues is offering a job to a google engineer who was sacked over an internal corporate memo where giants move

though has sparked a debate over free speech in corporations we could exert a genius signs accuse google of censorship and tweeted that it's not fair to fire employees for freely expressing their thoughts and janae james to mall was fired after sending a memo criticizing google's diversity policies his bosses say that breached their code of conduct and looks now into what was in that 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 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 in the pollutes these men and women differ in poets 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

commitment to women is window dressing the article is publicly supported by many people internally begs the question how many privately supports agree or subscribe there are many people who google who share this guy's views they do pit 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 while latter opposite ends of the spectrum legal analyst lionel and journalist mike certain of it gave us their thoughts on the story. what kind of idiot would decide. google to basically slam diversity to refer to women in particular you know most of descriptions which might under some.

interpretation of human behavior might be considered 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 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 who say wait a minute i'm a fan did buy 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. you or she. is in the spotlight. she gave us her thoughts on the scandal broke. this manufactured. public will. when the really close is protect them so. when the crime.

nor middle of the room sick. welcome. back. welcome back now the russian noir at the center of the collusion scandal with

donald trump's team has been giving more details about the pressure she faces from the president's opponents and also the u.s. media last month in its sky was dragged into the ride over claims that russia into feed in the us election over a meeting with the president. we all know her name now and tell us about sky italia vessel in that sky natalia vessel needs sky and italia the sound of sky up natalia vessel night sky i. have to wake up one morning and find you know the focus of the all the high ranking up stream media. i don't know what if it turns out it was nothing while in an exclusive interview airing today and not in a town of a snit sky there has been speaking in depth about how she's been 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 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 passing 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 published 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 or the man she mentioned their american financier bill browder emerged as a central player in the scandal between the tally of us and its guy and donald trump jr and even testified before us senate committee state department e-mails reveal that browder have long been gathering information and personal details too about this and its guy she believes he then ramped up his public vendetta after losing a lengthy court battle three months ago against the russian owned real estate firm

in cyprus which. he was representing he did of money laundering but the case was settled and the firm was cleared up to be happy for me but i think that brough to himself as 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. turkey's gearing to open its largest overseas military base in the african country of somalia but it might not get a warm welcome there from some of the other nations who have a military presence also literature explains somalia's attraction to foreign bases . 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 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 terrorists will not enjoy good food is helping well the problem still

remains peristyle attack this coronated attack underway in the somali capital of mogadishu there have in the last month four or five maybe six. attacks here in the region military forces so 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 to 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 after affairs expert john some believes world powers are turning the continent into the latest theater of confrontation. our way of 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 alternately wants 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 all to make the biggest losers will be every single individual on the african continent because these bases the international influence that it put that it has with the countries that are involved clearly have more than likely would have to have all teary or motives which could include the control of land the control of people the control of governments and what if a specific african government decides to choose to do something that they would not wish they can react with the might that they kelly have meanwhile the u.s. has started building a major military facility on ukraine's black sea coast the u.s. navy says the new maritime operations center will serve as

a planning hub for joint military exercises last month american personnel took part in large scale nato drills in ukraine sixteen countries were involved with air land and sea forces meanwhile the u.s. reportedly seeking to construct eight military training centers in another former soviet republic more dove yet and that's a concern for the country's president who says he has not approved any such plans and is pledging to look into it political commentator john bosnich told us that the u.s. military buildup in eastern europe poses a direct challenge to russia. it's a destabilizing process the the expansion in the build up of military forces along the russian border is intended to destabilize the development of russia and therefore maintain dominance of the western system that's the first secondary it's actually

a money grab the more the people in the west fear of potential conflict the more the governments in the west can feed taxpayers money into the military industrial complex thereby producing profits exorbitant crazy profits and keeping their economies running because they have not converted over to a peacetime economy. has broken out over b.b.c. t.v. cartoon about roman britain which is split view isn't pitted academics against one another is because the programme depicts a black high ranking roman soldier just what a man needs after working hard for the roman empire. is the roman empire good question well we're part of it here you cannot rewrite history based on today's values you got to rewrite history the way it was history should be more like other electoral pursuits. outside look at us on the moral domain or outside whatever

system you should describe things the way they were statistically these are historical realities the problem we have is there are certain political interests which are looking to divide communities which are looking to push back the idea and the ideals of multiculturalism that we have different contributing populations different contributing demographics within broader society. well two scholars in particular have been trading barbs cambridge's story mary beard insists the cartoons betrayal is accurate citing firm evidence but statistician nassim nicholas taleb you saw earlier is not convinced professor beard who's we're now in cambridge scholar says the cartoon character was loosely based on a governor of roman britain who is believed to have been of african descent. says her understanding is flawed even if you have.

characters from far away it is not represent that and you should brainwash children . plus the other thing is she doesn't seem to understand that people around the mediterranean at the time look very similar things should be bottom up good fences make good neighbors we should be globalist but let's not be universalists to the point of ignoring people's national identity or think that the value but the cli if the way you do it goes against that is the goal series. iraq legend roger waters is calling on his fellow performers to back him in a vocal spat with the band radiohead the co-founder of the group pink floyd wants other artists to back a movement for palestinian rights and a boycott performing in israel radiohead front man no thom yorke refused to call off his television concert leading to some heated debate in an exclusive interview with r.t. waters explains why he is promoting the movement and the reasons why the mainstream

media has ignored it is a pretty. civil society in palestine in two thousand and five started the b.d.s. movement themselves this isn't something imposed by a bunch of foreign row musicians this is something that they started that day who denies it and they have made an appeal to all artists rights as musicians actors directors anybody in the rest of the world to observe the picket line which they have shown to us because to to to to observe a cultural boycott of the country thom yorke is wrong about no indorsing the purposes of the israeli government by playing. and willy nilly when may cross the picket line they are making a public statement that they do indorse the policies of the cup what ever they say because that.
