well korean says american pressure is getting in the way of peace in the asian peninsula as key parties gather to the conflict to gather at a forum in russia. protesters in south korea a clash with thousands of police officers overseeing the deployment of a u.s. missile defense system to the nuclear threats of the on the. i. received the whole stall reception on her election campaign trail as demonstrated in germany and throw tomatoes during her

latest bally's. and r.t. speaks to a russian bitcoin trader detained in a greek prison and wanted by the us over money laundering charges. to. hello there this is r.t. international broadcasting to you liason the russian capital they are now in a rare interview to an international media scene the north korean official has said that america's pressure on pyongyang goes against the idea of peace in the peninsula. the u.s. neglects the international community's world to establish peace on the korean peninsula and will retaliate against the times to enclose sanctions and pressure from washington with powerful council measures. now that was the head of the north korean delegation at the eastern economic forum that's currently taking place in

russia's far east on his annual looking at is that for us and joins us live now daniel thanks for joining us now this is an economic forum but it looks like it's been a lot more than that this what have we heard today. yeah absolutely certainly has the north korean delegation the riving giving a speech just in the central goal to my left was very much something people waiting for it was a big media scramble to hear what they had to say quote particularly taking a strong uncompromising position saying their development of the nuclear program was something that was not up for discussion in the meantime in the hole just next door the leaders of russia south korea japan and mongolia were discussing also what to do about this crisis the world has been watching for some time. although there are differences in how to resolve the crisis they do have it seems some things in

common take a listen. here go to. the final goal of these measures and steps is a peaceful and diplomatic resolution to the crisis and they'd like to emphasize that there will be no war on the korean peninsula i am certain that. those occurred . just like my south korean colleagues i'm sure that a large scale conflict in the most especially one with weapons of mass destruction will not happen just must all of the opposing sides have the same sense of understanding of commitment to their people who live in the region when you and we will solve this problem by diplomatic means with. all sides involved. talks here today directly affected japan south korea russia they all share land or maritime borders with north korea and as we heard there would really suffer in the event of a military escalation of this crisis so they do share those calls to dawdle to negotiation just perhaps have slightly ways of getting there japan and korea agree

that sanctions are needed a harsh ending of sanctions by the u.n. targeting in particular the north korean all in the street but they also say that these need to be done in conjunction with discussions with russia as well take a listen. i referred to the need for tighter sanctions and belief in the china and russia are sticking to the same position but what concrete measures need to be taken is something we must discuss together. now this is in stark contrast to the position of the united states that's been very one sided these last few days and weeks we can all remember nikki haley donald trump saying that time is running out patience is running out and of course trumps the now infamous fire and fuel requirements all really serving to ramp up the rhetoric and increase economic and military pressure on north korea to isolate the country even more something that a pro-choice perhaps isn't so favored here in light of all stocks so of course

we're now waiting a press conference with putin and prime minister of japan we'll have more on that for you when that comes through but kate thanks daniel we appreciate that that's not is daniel holkins for us. now a lot about putin face plenty of questions on the sidelines of the forum however the russian president found some of them rather perplexing. how would you see the oncoming of the new administration in washington d.c. how has it changed the dynamics and the relationships in north east asia whether to look you are u.s. citizen. he was the head of one government and the head of a state which are the closest allies of america in the region when you and you ask me but not limited to. western leaders or meanwhile antiwar protest in south korea has seen dozens of

people injured in clashes with police and many more arrested demonstrators are trying to block a convoy of rocket launches for a controversial u.s. anti missile system known as start. of the that. was. the the. there's going to was i. was thinking i did was i did. the through the i. was nearly four hundred pace activists turned down for the rally at the u.s.

military base in staunching a small farming village there were met by eight thousand security offices sent to oversee the convoys arrival despite the clashes the systems components have now been deployed. so thawed or terminal high altitude area defense is designed to destroy a ballistic missiles it targets short to medium range weapons and is being supplied to south korea by washington antiwar activists medea benjamin recently visited the site in south korea and told us why this deployment is causing so much anger. well know and one has to wonder why hundreds and hundreds of people would come out to protest a system that is supposedly going to make them so safe for i was in that village just a few weeks ago and it's a very conservative village and these protests are being led mostly by the elders of the village who say we don't want to be in the eye of the storm we know that president trump has just said he's going to allow more highly sophisticated

weaponry to go to south korea taking billions of dollars of people's money there this is a cycle of militarism that is extremely dangerous and the opposite of what people on the plane peninsula need and want with confusion and fear hanging over the crisis in the korean peninsula president trump is holding his cards close to his chest when it comes to washington's next. however i was just going to give reports the u.s. could make billions of dollars selling all to south korea japan and of the region. the north korean threat is something we hear on a daily basis from u.s. officials with the statements pouring bremer and grammar and his nuclear threats show that he is begging for war. they will be met with fire and

fury the stakes could not be higher the urgency is now this may not get away with what he's doing believe and the urgency is so strong the u.s. is rolling out a range of american made weapons to save the day on offer for remaining rocket launchers for the u.s. missile defense system for south korea also increased amounts of highly sophisticated military equipment which trump this kindly allowing both south korea and japan to purchase in the infamous the troubled after the five fighter jets but also be added to that package a kind of bonus but not free of course but look forget that north korea is by no means the only threat to global security and america for decades iran has fueled the fire of sectarian conflict and threatening the region and causing so much by a lintz all nations of kinds most work together to isolate her and all of those attacks are music to the ears of saudi arabia an american ally and fellow detractor

of iran so of course riyadh was all too ready to sign a one hundred ten billion dollar defense deal with trump neighboring qatar also agreed to buy over twenty one billion dollars worth of american military hardware now trying to approach the conflict is definitely pragmatic make a quick buck if you can right and clearly this guy can sell anything even managed to find a way to spin continuing america's sixteen year long war in afghanistan. as the prime minister of afghanistan has promised we are going to participate in economic development to help defray the cost of this war to us hey if you can't solve the problem see if you can at least turn a healthy profit instead of i'm a businessman that's what i'm supposed to do that's what i'm supposed to do i think a lot of people project on the behavior of the united states maybe of other countries that it's all about business it's all about making money for the arms manufacturers and the plane manufacturers and so forth the people who make missiles

the militarization of the policy of using military threats and military force is the only item in our tool kit his son how become so ingrained in their mentality they really don't consider other alternatives you have people who believe that the united states is and must be the global head of mine that every solution must be solved by a dick taught from washington and whatever force and threats are necessary to achieve that end will be employed. german chancellor angela merkel has been facing a tough week both in and out of parliament as she continues on her campaign trail before this month's election she was given a whole stop us that scene in parts of the country. i. know who was good and booed by demonstrators during a rally in fenced in boulder yesterday once his day of protest in through tomorrow says it has you're an event you're a correspondent piece all of our reporters. it's fair to say that this election

campaign hasn't been the most exciting ever but one point that has all seen some fireworks at least is be what angle of merkel to showed up in towns where people are strongly against her refugee policy i. was the german chancellor speaking. in brandenburg on wednesday evening now she did say that she was specifically going to go to these towns to these areas where people like where political parties like the alternative to germany had a foothold or at least had some kind of strong base where people had been voicing their concern over her refugee policy these were the places that she was going to show up one thing that they didn't have on that wednesday evening in brandenburg that we saw on tuesday evening in heidelberg was flying fruits we can see the chancellor here taking the stage in the heidelberg thankfully wearing that red

glaze there because what happens next is all she's hit by one of two tomatoes that were thrown from the crowd clipped there on the hip there the other tomato though well that splattered one of the moderators and you're merkel handing her a handkerchief to clean herself up and also it's worth noting that during this rally the german chancellor was asked a question one of your biggest strengths and she said that she was calm under fire carmen depression without making any reference to the tomato throwing but we had high hopes that this was going to be a close fought impassioned electoral campaign with martin shultz the former european parliament president pushing angle of all the way that really hasn't happened at the moment well the german chancellor looks like she'll be returned almost fifteen percent fifteen points ahead at the moment with that vote coming up on september the twenty fourth. however the tomato incident wasn't the only or

quick moment for the chancellor just before that angela merkel was interrupted by the main opposition party while addressing parliament or taking credit for their work eventually chancellor merkel had to remind them who's in charge. that's with you but i think it's a win win for everybody in the you know ceilings. if you know. where the post. is but if she is the was the group you know say ok and that's. the one you want to win in parliament if the least stories of them it was. bringing you the latest pictures from syria now where government troops troops are being put through their paces before an

operation to storm eisel controlled areas of the city of. on tuesday the syrian army backed by russia reached the city working i three year long siege well here on the map you can see islamic states territorial losses in syria over the past four months moving towards the syrian army gained around eight kilometers per day they eventually reunited with one of its brigades trapped inside the city the most prominent figure of the dia as oh army is is some zahra d. the known as the lion of the republican guard he's the garrison commander who had been trapped in the besieged city for the full three years already and has a long record of military service and fought on several fronts during the syrian civil war well we're mileage to talk to him right after the siege was broken. but a lot more during the siege we were like an island in the middle of an ocean totally isolated the closest city is homes which is more than two hundred fifty kilometers

away yet despite the siege by us and the scarcity of all means of survival. electricity food the army and the friendly forces persevered in defending villages or. professor side mohammad marandi from the university have to run says isis ideology still poses a global threat despite victories over the terror. we are entering the final stages i saw or isis having a presence in syria in the sense that it holds territory that does seem to be coming to an end but the ideology continues exist and therefore the terrorism the extremism that isis represents can continue to be a menace to the rest of the world and of course it's not only isis we have al qaeda and al qaeda affiliates in syria such as the nostra front or sham all of these different groups jaish with us from day to have the same wahhabi ideology and they

continue to hold territory so even after isis is dealt with and the territory is taken the syrian army is going to have to deal with them as well after they finish with isis and washing big trader is wanted by the u.s. over alleged money laundering look at last dorry and more after a break. in case you're new to the game this is how it works my economy is built around corporations corporations from washington washington controls the media the media. the voters elected businessmen to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before.

what holds its institutions and. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and sure. some want to be rich. but you'd like to be first that's what before three of the more people. interested always at the water's edge. there said. hello welcome back to russia's foreign ministry has called the searches of his diplomatic premises in the u.s. . joins me now live with the details on this story i get to see you know a strong response over the seizure of russia's buildings what was said today.

hi well if you read through the latest extensive comments by the washing foreign ministry spokeswoman marie as a hard you realize that the russian officials are more than disappointed in fact disappointed is not the right word here they are absolutely outraged by what they are calling attempts to whitewash the seizures and the raids of russian diplomatic premises in the us that is in san francisco washington d.c. and new york here's more from marie as a harbor what the u.s. state department calls inspections are in fact the legal seizure of russian diplomatic premises including searches from basement attics would like to emphasize the buildings that at the property of government were not just sealed but seized plainclothes american officials are in the building and armed policemen are

guarding the prima tears this raises the question does washington consider us to have the same right to inspect the buildings of the u.s. diplomatic and consular missions in russia. in the meantime the russian president also had something to say on the matter during the eastern economic forum his tone was much more mild he said that despite the ongoing conflict there russia and the u.s. can keep up with their economic ties and as an example he put forward exxon mobil the previous job of rex tillerson. but you smothered in there. despite all our current diplomatic differences we continue to have contacts with american firms including vast energy companies such as exxon mobil which rex tillerson used to head up and despite the fact that he is organizing searches in our diplomatic missions but we are resolving ongoing crises situations with his former. usually

gave to listen a medal once but he seems to have ended up in a bad company and is headed in the wrong direction but i hope that the cooperation and friendship lead him back on the right path. when we were a member of that straight after washington made the decision to close the u.s. sorry the russian consulate in san francisco and other russian diplomatic promises the foreign ministry promised that they were going to come up with a reaction to this and we still haven't heard about any measures from the washing of officials so possibly they are still coming up or maybe not soon or find out and so you'll keep us updated on that thank you that's not easy. now we've been reporting on the struggle of a palestinian couple to remain in their home in east jerusalem that they they've lived in five a half a century but now they've been forcibly evicted has their story.

i was sleeping when the soldiers broke and i had a pain in my back so they put me in a wheelchair but what have i done hijacked a plane or something i have a dozen soldiers attacked me. and now freed this house is just the beginning and we might be next any time soon we're all going to be kicked out of our homes. we all view the international community the u.n. view east jerusalem as a future capital palestine arm of the demographic shift significantly makes the realization of that ambition much harder to achieve.

and the family was a victim don't the only israeli law which allows property to be reclaimed if the ownership before nine hundred forty eight is proven when an exodus of jewish people from began from east jerusalem or no such law exists for palestinians according to human rights watch between nine hundred sixty seven and two thousand and sixteen around fifteen thousand palestinians had their residency status removed. by the u.s. is pushing for the extradition of a russian national accused of cyber crimes and money laundering alexander vinick was arrested in greece back in july at the request of the u.s. justice department he's accused of using the crypto currency trading website to bitcoin to launder more than four billion dollars greek authorities are currently considering the extradition request must have been exposed to his by phone through his lawyer from prison and his first interview since his arrest.

you know what i worked for the company and carried out my details and it's not right to blame me for that i only found out what the accusations were a month after i was arrested my russian lawyer told me about them. i would say they're mistaken i don't have any planes yours or any other luxury possessions to get to. first because i haven't done anything illegal second i don't understand what the u.s. has to look at me and why they should be judging a russian citizen the russian foreign ministry has said it's closely monitoring the situation to ensure that the suspects rights are being respected less of an ex-wife alexander also spoke to r.t. giving further details about her husband's detention. i turned around and saw that my husband was surrounded by around twenty men twenty men wearing t. shirts and some glasses took part in his arrest he was handcuffed our children were

there the time these men walked him away we also took mobile phones and the key to our hotel room from my bag as far as i know they searched the room that me and my children were kept on the beach from eleven in the morning until seven pm under the supervision of three men we couldn't leave the children didn't get anything to you to tall as far as i know from the documents i'm from the us the biggest cizik to it is we're against the law there the document says the member just knew they were creating a platform one laundering because it wasn't registered it didn't have a license and because such business models allow criminals to use the exchange all the charges are being made based on the statements by this way of thinking you could make the manufacturers of frying pans for example guilty because wives hid their husbands with them is the same thing not that obviously his return to russia is my main goal that my husband agrees to be extradited only to russia and no other

country he wants to come home to his family or his children. or join me at the top of the hour for the latest headlines but he can't wait until then check out our website at r.t. dot com. don i was up to the ocean of don't want my looks later. it's initials and i'm back. when seeking out a new south. and. take in the eco city in the south. and then you're going to bring it up and not only think i. would meet me right now i think. i'm going to let you know what that beach that's me out on the south is out. to do this just really new climbing i love to study not be deep but early on he said this
