a strong and powerful nucular stockpile hinting that it could be used if necessary so while other nations are still pushing for a democratic resolution threats flying back and forth seem to be pushing the world closer and closer to the edge of war with possible nuclear implications. china meanwhile has condemned trump's fire and fury remarks beijing warned the u.s. president against playing with fire over north korea and any accidental spark could trigger a conflict and it looks like relations between china and the u.s. are becoming more tense as well beijing's been angered by an american destroyer the u.s.s. john f. mccain sailing close to a chinese island in the disputed south china sea the washington believes it's done nothing wrong the u.s. destroyers actions have violated chinese and international rules as well as severely homed china's solvency and security china will bring up the issue with the u.s. side the united states does these operations the freedom of navigation operations

all around the world this is nothing new we've done it before we'll continue to do it steadily for provocative so it's clearly an area that china wants to exercise. control over to some degree or at least have. or least keep other military powers out of the region but in light of other things going on the the real pressure on china to act tougher on north korea by the trump administration i think this will be seen as as another. more aggressive stance of the trumpet ministration and it will heighten tensions it further but it's not only china openly criticizing trump's aggressive line america's close allies britain and germany have joined that call saying the u.s. president should deescalate tensions while leaving that home trumps also facing opposition. prison drums escalatory rhetoric is exactly the wrong response to dealing with north korea's provoking behavior it unnecessarily heightens the risk

their families as possible. a group in the u.k. calling itself the x. muslim council has been stirring controversy and members attended an l g b t parade in london on chews day they held up banners denouncing islam and accusing muslims of homophobia in the particular they blame the east london mosque for promoting hatred towards homosexuality according to the group this mosque quote has a long history of hosting hate preachers the east london mosque has responded accusing the group of feeding anti islamic hysteria the x. muslim council refuses to apologize saying it does not need anyone's permission to march for l g b t rights we heard contrasting views on this. a true to ghent people is always wrong with muslim or anyone else but criticizing bigoted intolerant ideas is entirely right and proper i hope the likes of peter who
2:15 am
i have a lot of respect for the human rights over the years he's deeply misguided that what he supports an organization that has made it mission to demonize islam and the religious belief of muslims in this country around the world many of us who are marching or individuals from muslim heritage so i myself am a british pakistani who grew up as a gay individual in a muslim this is my community i have no interest in galvanizing hate against muslims because i will be subjected to that same hate this group was targeting islam must homophobia it wasn't targeting muslim people or even islam in german or the council of muslims has never criticized or condemned muslim people it is only condemned and criticized is the most extremists who advocate hatred and violence against the people if these people have left and that's their right let's

seems wrong. to shape our. outlook. and it. equals betrayal. when some find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. in case you're new to the game this is how. the economy is built around. washington washington. the. voters elected a businessman to run this country business if. you must it's not business
2:18 am
as usual it's business like it's never been done before. thanks for joining us here on our to today but a syrian army are stepping up its efforts to break islamic state see each other. video obtained exclusive video of the offense. thank you. what. will.
2:19 am
the besieged city of the as order is located in eastern syria as we can show you here on the map it is completely surrounded by terrorist forces the syrian army has been blockaded in a tiny portion of the city for almost three years what's more the jihadists are refusing to allow civilians to leave in fact are calling to the un more than one hundred thousand civilians are still trapped inside the city middle east expert ali risk believes despite the odds that there's actually now a final chance the city will be captured from the terrorists they have absorbed first of all is a second biggest province in syria so geographically street. especially now after the syrian army has made so many victories elsewhere the cease fire agreement which was reached between russia the u.s. and jordan. western syria that is apt to actually allow the syrian armed forces to
2:20 am
dedicate. more and free basically freed up more of syria's military to go ahead and launch this attempt to break the siege off we have to think about what's beyond syria's role regionally because there was a lot is an important a linkage area i think that the more and more likely the syrian army will achieve victory and there is a lot more and more likely you might see israel and saudi arabia two of america's main allies in the region trying to obstruct or prevent such as the. area from being fulfilled the. private jet sandlot show tells are not just the reserve of the rich and famous these days newly released details covering just the first two months of twenty sixteen show e.u. commissioners racked up hefty bills on foreign joints with the tabs as usual left to be picked up by e.u.

taxpayers. visit. by john the first visits to your country our meetings today encounter with foreign minister discussion good discussions on a range of issues a wide strange of issues and also talked a lot. of european commission i'm presiding over is not a group of technocrats but it's composed of politicians this is not a commission that would promote the virtues of a foolish and blind policy. but it's not only about money. even if.
2:22 am
that's it's. it doesn't play a minor role. the lavish lifestyles of e.u. officials were only exposed after campaigners waged a three year battle for the release of travel expense records we spoke to the spanish transparency ngo access info which first obtained the documents but they say they've only scratched the surface hundred twenty requests made freedom of information access to documents requests was actually for the whole year of twenty sixteen however the commission decided unilaterally to only release information at this point for january and february twenty sixth they felt that it was an advantage to do and it was disproportionate to release information for the whole year now about doesn't seem to make sense given that they also have this information passed on to the auditor's and to the parliament so if the data is already
2:23 am
collected and is made available to those. institutions then why can't it be made public more generally and you spokespersons defended the travel expenses but some critics say that sometimes it's difficult to see where there is value for money. the the european commission we and unlike the national government don't own any airplanes and do not have the flexibility to therefore it's just our own plane that's why we have to guard. against whenever there is no civility you know that in a commercial flight would not be viable because of then the countering the kitchen or because of security reasons often really people go on these expensive trips and then they just come out with fairly innocuous and statements at the end of them that they really achieve much less the company benefits from face to face meetings are so you know it's good that there is a focus on those problems in armenia and azerbaijan but really the hasn't been much
2:24 am
progress for a long time now given they are spending taxpayers' money they ought to try and get those places as cheaply as possible within reason and if you look at for example it's a mr young because trips abroad there are several direct flights from brussels to rome every single day on a normal sehgal the airline so why couldn't they have called on those normal slice instead of booking this private jet. a german journalist has found herself making the news as opposed to purporting on it as after she claimed in an interview job in media is biased towards the government in its coverage of the refugee crisis claudio zimmerman said journalists are instructed to report him a pro-government way when it comes to the migrant crisis adding that they are compelled to cover the issue in a positive light revelation was made back in january twenty sixth seen during an interview about the cologne sex attacks that she gave to a dutch radio station it is a topic that zimmerman has covered extensively and our sister channel deutsch spoke

exclusively to the journalist in the middle of this controversy journalists tend to support chancellor merkel's refugee policy throughout the media not just at. some journalists including me tried to pitch more pretty can stories but they would not approve. that's why i spoke out stories that fail to welcome all support this policy of being blocked honestly at first i did not understand the situation the whole situation that occurred because of this as the w d r stated there was a lot of damage in the public field i cooperated and did everything possible to minimize the damage of the w.t.r. i'm still officially not fired they just don't approve my pictures my topics haven't changed yet but it suddenly turned out that i'm not trustworthy in a report published in june this year claimed media outlets are closing their eyes to the concerns and fears of the german population with regard to the country's migration policy cloudier zimmerman claims there are topics journalists want to
2:26 am
cover but are simply not allowed to. i would wish that many more colleagues dared to do more critical coverage the pressure comes from the top to down i know from some colleagues that there are certain topics which they would like to cover but these topics were not approved because they were too critical because they don't fit the format of the program i think it's significant it would be significant for journalism in germany. r.t. america has been speaking exclusively to musician and pink floyd co-founder roger waters and one of the topics discussed was that of the ubiquitous fake news. in fact that is where we're living now where propaganda is more important than facts. and that is a huge news story about this whole thing about fake. people understood. the truth it's free. it's tree education none
