just after eight pm this witness the evening here in moscow you're with international my names you know neil welcome to the program our top story this hour i made growing tensions between north korea on the united states president has emphasized the strength of america's nuclear arsenal he said his actions had renovated modernized u.s. weapons america will never be overtaken as the world's greatest superpower earlier president gave a strong warning to north korea pyongyang then threaten to strike the u.s. pacific territory of guam. make it work. they will be met with fire fury. like. never seen

before trump made the 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 now 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 many nuclear warheads on top of this washington post article things to a boiling point on cheers 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 being provocative here's a sample of 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 appear should a nation if you compare it to our capabilities they don't come near to being even close to it compared to all the chance that we could end up. being 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 translate to statements because i think the comments

are not helpful and informative satiric teams everyone wants to avoid military confrontation the global community led by 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. trump's words have also been widely condemned by u.s. lawmakers congressman eliot engel has called the latest remarks reckless he say's that trump is undermining america's security and putting its allies in danger we've got reaction from a number of analysts they believe that the u.s. president is taking huge risks by ratcheting up the tension. definitely think that the north korean leadership including supreme leader kim jong un has look to the

examples of libya and iraq to see what happens in leaders when they gave up their nuclear weapons and particularly since july since last month when north korea tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles their leadership has taken a stronger stance against negotiations they've made it very clear that north korea's nuclear program is not on the negotiating table unless the u.s. changes its stance against north korea 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 you cannot have the president of the united states warmongering against d p r k where as the us secretary of state is calling d p r k not an enemy of the united states. to another story we're closely following this our french authorities have arrested

a man suspected of plotting a car into a group of soldiers in the north of paris earlier today six were injured two seriously the suspect who was driving a black b.m.w. was detained on a motorway after being chased by police bringing us more on that is charlotte dubinsky. a suspect who was driving the car involved in the attack has been arrested on a highway between paris and. it's been confirmed that the man arrested on a northern highway in france between bologna and cali is the suspect that police have been searching for he was arrested by elite forces and we understand that he was shot five times during that arrest and a police officer was also injured as they tried to apprehend a man he was the person who they believe was behind the attacks which took place just a few hundred meters behind me at the opening of a soldier's barracks at around quarter past eight local time in paris this morning

the local mayor has described this as a deliberate act and said this is what he saw take place. 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 in the 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 paris airport or not they came to this town where antiterrorist forces are doing their remarkable job the local mayor also talked about the place of this attack as being symbolic and that's because the main intelligence agency and it's also a staging point for soldiers who are based to this is what residents have been telling us. i heard a loud bang and ten minutes of shouting i went outside with my wife we saw two

bodies on the ground there was a lot of noise we saw a deployment of cars firemen ambulances security and then we saw the injured being taken away one person was on the stretcher and legs the most severely injured two others with less serious looking wounds were in a wheelchair as paris prosecution office has opened an investigation into this case and they are pursuing charges of attempted murder of security forces in connection with a terrorist and to price now one of the reasons why it's been suggested that this place may have been strategically chosen is because it's where the main intelligence agency and it's also a staging point for soldiers who were assigned to protect prominent sites in paris .

now paris is no stranger to attacks it's been under a state of emergency for the whole of france has been under a state of emergency since november two thousand and fifteen when there were those coordinated attacks here in this city and since then bonsa seen a number of large scale terror attacks the president mcauliffe has said that one of his aims in his first year the presidency is to remove that state of emergency by november of this year whether that's plausible or not remains to be seen. charlotte toobin ski well french acuity forces have been the target of a number of terror attacks this year.

to the globe the. christian hunter is a former u.k. army intelligence officer he say's the terrorists are targeting flaws in security one of the other features about this in this particular attack is that it took place during a shift change over. that around eight o'clock paris time and you know that's one of the other things that terrorists look look for when they're carrying out hostile reconnaissance they're looking for patterns they're looking for vulnerabilities they're looking for you know cameras security forces they the weapons that equipment carried by the security forces their own vulnerabilities if you like but certainly something like a shift change over where people aren't potentially as alert as they might be or where briefings are taking place you know that something is being carried out by

criminals and terrorists across the world in the past they're all certain things that could be done certainly looking it's not setting patterns by the security forces that's one looking at putting in protective security measures counter-violence you know during those sort of vulnerable periods or vulnerable locations that's another and certainly education and training of the general public i think is something this wonderfully inadequate across europe. wiki leaks is offering a job to a google engineer who is sucked over an internal corporate memo the web giant's move has sparked a debate over free speech in corporations wiki leaks editor julian assange accused google of censorship on tweeted it's not fair to fire employees for freely expressing their thoughts engineer james them or was fired after sending a memo criticizing google's diversity policies his bosses say breach their code of

conduct caleb maupin looks now at 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 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 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 that's the question how many privately supports agree or subscribe there are many people 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. locals in the northern italian city of ventimiglia have been rallying against the opening of a new refugee shelter for on accompanied miners there after one thousand signatures were collected in a petition to be presented to them or two hundred people gathered outside the city hall to voice concerns about their safety they say since the partial closure of the nearby border with france the figures i come like to cali jungle spring we spoke to some of. our people we can't take it anymore the city has been invaded we have lost our freedom here it is not our city anymore it's not even

a city now it's just a huge refugee shelter it's been done with taxes to me the government loses and we pay our constitution talks about the people's sovereignty. the sovereignty of where is it the state has to listen to us starting with the mayor but no one does. i'm a shop owner and tourism inventor miller is not looking good and she basically has no tourism anymore and everyone is working less and less and i know that today's demonstration could backfire because it will give the town even more bad publicity but we really want this to be over and we can't leave here any more our women can't go out at night alone anymore it's impossible they are always in groups of four or five the situation is degrading and we can't take it any. less former vice chair of the european council on refugees and exiles joins me now

to discuss this situation further very welcome to the program just all not last point were listening to people from the tarn speaking what can the italian authorities do to address the concerns of the locals and they seem to have a lot and indeed prevent the city from becoming like callaway. well this is a terrible tragedy all around is near term in first of all it's a tragedy for the refugees because nobody wants them in their backyard anymore and that's true throughout europe and we see the disgraceful derogation of any kind of humanitarian obligation to help people fleeing from most spots in the world that we see on the television every day like syria and south side but also i have enormous sympathy for the people of vented media nobody in a quiet peaceful and touristic town wants to see suddenly thousands of foreigners

descending upon them and in their view making their streets they're safe or whatever but already we know there's been loss of life because when people do get across the border to france they're sent back immediately by the french to to italy we know also that some people have lost their lives trying to negotiate the very dangerous rocky terrain which forms the border there between italy and france and that's a terrible tragedy in itself but you know the french and the italians are caught between the devil in the deep blue sea on one hand the french are perfectly entitled to send people back to italy something known as the dublin convention which is basically that anybody landing in europe and claiming asylum has to do so in the first safe country they reach so if they've come into italy from albania or somewhere wherever it might be or from north africa then they are really meant to

claim asylum there and not to just be pushed and i'm afraid the italians because faced with this enormous number of thousands hundreds of thousands of people coming through lampedusa or in italy very simply get into the habit of just shunting people up the spine of italy and saying well you know not here. going claim asylum in france can also put a point another point to what some of the locals were seeing to us keith they were saying that they have seen an uptick in crime they're saying because there are a lot of teenage boys there the there's not enough being done to look after them define themselves with more time on their hands on things happen maybe they don't have enough food for instance so they steal it are the migrants committing crimes because a lack of anything to do is that partly the fault of the local authorities and the lack of a proper plan put in place there. well i think. the absence of provisional

adequate provision i should say i mean some charities as you know are trying to provide food and clothing but there's not enough that clearly is going to lead people to desperate measures to to feed in and clothe themselves i mean i think when you mention young people the other problem of course is the the there exploitation of young people under the age of eighteen and and some of these people are are being exploited in the most awful way including sexual exploitation so that's another added worry but i have sympathy with the italians but you know really the the organization that i'm afraid is most of the fault here is the european union itself it has failed to live pretty shape except only as strong as its member states and if the member states don't want to tango than the european union can dance at all but it has been a whole series of broken commitments of undertakings to try to spread this load

of refugee coming into europe through certain countries in particular because that's where there are the c. external borders of europe or close to and there has been really no serious commitment or of continuing commitment to spread this burden you know you look at a country like sweden very large numbers of syrian refugees very many other countries have taken hardly any adore and i'm afraid that includes the united kingdom and it's only when there is a real sense of solidarity in europe that we're going to see some of these problems resolved ok keep asked former vice chair of the european council on refugees on exiles thanks for your take this hour thank you a russian lawyer is still in the spotlight over her meeting with trump jr she gives us her thoughts on the scandal after the break. it's.

called the future we don't know. everyone in the world should experience the. old. the old according to just. come along. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go on to be pros this is what the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. city.

you're back with r.t. the russian lawyer up the center of a coalition scandal with donald trump's team has given more details about the pressure she faces from the president's opponents on the u.s. media last month to tell us the meat sky was dragged into the raw of her claims that russia interfered in the u.s. 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 of the south in the sky at the natalya vessel at sky i. have to wake up one morning and find you know the focus of the all the fire and kin stream media.

i do know what to do to get it turns out it was nothing well in an exclusive interview today here on r t in fact in iran six minutes from now the tell you a vessel needs sky has been speaking 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 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 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 a fair 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 small to medium manipulator than bill browder. well american financier bill browder emerged as a central player in the scandal between a tell your vessel and sky on donald trump and even testified before a u.s. senate committee leaked state department e-mails reveal the rider had long been gathering information on personal details or by vessel in the sky she believes he then run darpa's public vendetta after losing a lengthy court battle three months ago against the russian owned real estate firm in cyprus which she was representing management view cues that have money laundering but the case was settled on the firm was cleared exposing corruption but i think that brown 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. a b.b.c.

children's cartoon about roman britain has caused controversy and divided top academics that's because it shows a high ranking black roman soldier just what a man needs after working hard for the roman empire. but he's still men 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 works history should be more like other electoral pursuits. outside look at outside the moral domain or outside whatever value system which would 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. yet two

scholars in particular humping trading barbs cambridge historian miri beard insists the cartoons patrol is accurate citing firm evidence she says the character is loosely based on a governor of roman britain who is believed to have been of african descent but now seem nicholas taleb who you saw earlier isn't convinced even if you have a sort of from far away it is not represent and you should be brainwashed children . plus the other thing is she doesn't seem to understand that people along the mediterranean at the time look very similar things should be. 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 things that they value but that clearly if the way you do it goes against this tacl series our exclusive interview with

russian lawyer to tell you a vessel needs sky starts in a few moments here on r.t. stay with us. here's what people have been saying about rejected and this is just. the only show i go out of my way to you know it was really packed a punch in the yampa is the john oliver of marty americans do the same we are apparently better than. to see people you never heard of. jack tonight. president of the world bank take. it seriously send us an e-mail it doesn't help us you know my back want to know what it is.
