yeah john oliver of arc to america is going to say we are apparently better than. the sea people you've never heard of love jack tonight president of the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail. the rumbles on over america's seizure of russian diplomatic property with the u.s. state department facing a barrage of questions from journalists over the move. diplomatic protocol you know what i don't know if you all want to fly today or what but i think. also this hour russia's military drills in battery schools uproar among western politicians with some saying moscow is trying to increase its troop presence there and take a look at those claims and rights group amnesty international releases a new report documenting the deadly bahraini crackdown on government critics the

cases britain and the us of turning a blind eye to the abuses. from moscow you're watching international. now the u.s. state department has been facing a grilling over the seizure of the russian consulate in san francisco and even accused sounding too much like take. just normal the writing programs are so what's your name let's move on move on to something else if you still consider that sovereign russian property or were those property searched because there was a concern that they were being used for intelligence purposes which would be like a different issue i'm just not going to get into that let it lead in this let's move on to something else there in russia or any other country where u.s. missions that have been deleted have been searched by the host. governments

you know what i don't know if you are working for r.t. today or what but i think you might remember. what a response r.t. said to her in chief said the channel takes that comment from the state department as a compliment so america is next with more on what was said at the state department briefing. u.s. department of state spokesperson heather nauert was grilled by reporters who focused on the seizure of russian diplomatic buildings last week the u.s. state department ordered the closures of the russian consulate in san francisco a trade mission complex in washington and a trade office in new york us security services subsequently searched the buildings and denied all access to them spokesperson heather nauert characterized it quite lightly calling it a tour which immediately provoked a backlash from journalists russian officials were invited to come along with us as we toured those facilities to get to you so you think what you want you to. do

this is that which is this is a this is a very serious activity and it was a very serious damage to me and if i use the word tour and that seemed to light in . the activity that took place then pardon me for that the russian foreign ministry slammed this move as an illegal invasion it's spokesperson even said that she views the u.s. raids of russian diplomatic properties as some kind of diabolic circus illegal and pointless well the u.s. state department said the measure came in response to moscow ordering the u.s. to reduce its diplomatic personnel in russia russian president vladimir putin has stated that he has taken legal measures to fight the force closures ordering the filing of a lawsuit still remains unclear where this will all lead and how these latest tensions will affect diplomatic ties between the two countries well earlier this week said that russia will take the u.s. to court over the situation the state department responded to to that.

sure our american counterparts didn't let russia use its property it's a violation of our property rights i will tell the foreign ministry to go to court to see how well the highly praised she dishes system in the us works welcome to the american legal system mr putin has apparently met the legal system that in the united states over elections between moscow and washington are up for discussion and r.t. show selfing care with russia's new envoy to the un you can watch the full interview throughout the day here on our. present time but he was campaigning in the showdown afterwards he promised to deliver all improving u.s. russia relations but unfortunately due to many reasons i will not remember a the more or judge them he was not able to do so many countries privately and openly say that too much depends on the little ations and it's not appropriate there solo these days. they should be improved and that will be for the best for

the better of the world i am committed to improving these relations working together for the better of the world working together with the united states another part of this of course to counsel an outside the security council i hope that step by step will lead us there if we see the the movement. in the the the movement on the other side to. know russia's upcoming military drills with batteries so alarming its neighbors in eastern europe despite assurances from moscow that they are purely for defensive purposes we have friends in santiago looks at why. russia and bell the roots are to hold joint military training exercises this month i was planning to be real serious

about this but hey how can i resist when the reactions pouring in are just so colorful what washington thinks russia does or about to do an exercise in below rouche russia. that's going to tail up to one hundred thousand russian troops moving into into that country the great concern is they're not going to leave and that's you know that's not paranoia on did you get that one hundred thousand troops that's just the russians not counting the forces and bella ruse i mean that's probably enough to storm europe and yes they are concerned what europe thinks russia does it is undisputed that we have seen a demonstration of the capabilities and power of the russians and one who does that has only to look at the high number of forces participation in the south but exercise more than one hundred south and it doesn't end there there are more fantastic predictions was that in neighbors think russia does well seriously

worried the head of the zappa twenty seven thousand drills is numerous aggressive forces taking part in it and there is a demonstrative preparation for war with the west now russia and belarus are allowing three nato observers to monitor the exercise even though the alliance thinks that is not enough but hey they are supposed to be a hundred thousand troops yet at the same time nato secretary general mr stoltenberg says there is no i quote imminent threat to any of its allies confusing right and how this bell or see the upcoming drills we should just stop making excuses whether our drills are defensive or not we have an army we have a join russia and belarus military formation in the west and while it exists which we did make a secret off we're going to train it how to fight just in case now let's take a look at the real numbers from the russian ministry of defense in fact it's thirteen thousand soldiers around

a quarter of them arriving from russia plus three hundred military vehicles and twenty five aircraft doesn't sound like a blitzkrieg now does it. well ingram from the british american security information cancel does believe that russia's neighbors are overreacting to the drills i don't think there's any reason for the neighbors to be particularly concerned there's no rational reason why russia would be wanting to actively threaten those those particular neighbors so it's a classic case of. overt concern on the her on the part of those countries that are close every reason for russia to be to be exercising because otherwise what's the point of having a military but i think that this is particularly a storm in a teacup at the moment because people are paranoid we move to either be over reactive over paranoid or on the other hand to trigger that paranoia on the other side and take active steps to to to ratchet it down.

one of his i make state's highest ranking commanders good mood at home of is believed to be among forty extremist militants killed in a russian airstrike near the syrian city of did is all that's according to the russian defense ministry of who is the group's so-called war minister moved to syria and join deisel in twenty fifteen prior to that he was a special forces commander in the former soviet republic of to g.q. stand and had been to the u.s. numerous times for training including within the tourist private military contractor blackwater now known as academy he is in a propaganda video. this you are so loyal a politician thirty but it sure was lloyd. there's a lot of cool. black what another i saw member thought to have been killed in the strike was abu mohammad ali he was of saudi arabia origin his ice was finance chief he's also suspected of organizing the twenty fifteen

paris terror attacks. me ma humanitarian convoy has reached the resort for the first time since ice was three year long siege was broken on tuesday forty trucks delivered food and medical supplies to residents who previously up to that point been relying on air drops. we spoke with local journalists who say near it is all. did

welcome back with our governor of florida says that everybody should be prepared to evacuate from the state as hurricane money is highways are already jammed as thousands flee in what could become one of the largest evacuations in u.s. history if you're told to evacuate leave get out quickly. the roads will fill up quickly so you need to go this storm is wider your entire state is expected to cause major and life threatening impacts from coast to coast seven cities in florida have already issued mandatory evacuation orders and schools and universities have been closed in order to use them as shelters the hurricane has already killed eighteen people in the caribbean. dubbed one of the most devastating

hurricanes in history. i. no one can protect you that's the title of a new amnesty international report on bahrain's violent crackdown against activists and their families over the past year the rights group has documented the deaths of six people including a child as well as numerous cases of arbitrary detention and torture.

the report also reserves harsh criticism for the international community for its silence over bahrain's rights abuses in particular it takes aim at the us and britain as they are seen as being in a position to influence the kingdom's actions donald trump is also lambasted for approving the sale of fighter jets to the gulf state and his dropping of human rights demands the report says those gave a green light for further repression. in response bahrain denies the allegations made against it and accuses government critics of trying to undermine stability in

the country side. a member of the bahrain freedom movement told us that london and washington are essentially complicit in the cripes. but. of what is doing is that he's parasitic you would think the people the political stance of london goes in to have a direct impact on the policies of the regime there or do laws that without their support if they are survive if without the support of the with this and americans of course under through these there is you would have pulled out so i think as strong as from washington on london will deliberately lead to improvement over human rights situation and broadly political transform it into those democracy what they don't want. but the german election in a little over two weeks time many do you see a victory for angela merkel c.d.u. party as a foregone conclusion the chancellor herself says nothing is certain. gentleman

we hear a lot here is that the german election has already been decided i'm telling you that this is simply not true. the latest polls do show anger merkel's party breaking away from her main rival martin shelton social democratic party however the so-called third parties are likely to play a key role if a majority can be formed in government as peter oliver expects. with most pundits already calling this election a win. there isn't a great deal of intrigue that. has been the battle for third place and who will perhaps become the kingmaker in the next coalition government the smaller parties in germany providing a low. amount

of. time. and controversy to the relatively calm seas of the political sea it's all to germany it looks like they will and paul a bit. and they run on a message against. policy and what they see is the islam isolation of the country even drafted in one of the out agencies that helped promote trump in his campaign and not seen them produce some role the provocative.

good alternative for germany is not going to be halted any coalition with. the chancellor and said so repeatedly likely to be part of a coalition with the mrs merkel all the free democratic. liberal business traditional allies. kristie. but this time around they call it something of an added benefit they get on charismatic and photogenic leader has appeared front and center of the campaign however he does appear to have lifted so of his migration policy right out of the alternative think jodi playbook if peace prevails refugees must return there is no such human right for cheese in your place in the world i'm not being harsh this is lauren realism speaking to th old school the dot com

entrepreneur has been to by some as a potential next foreign minister showed angle of a joint in a coalition with them but one thing the a.f. did may prove to be a wise move as he looks to shore up his own party's position basically this is just a political maneuver to get more voters from this from this side of the spectrum f.t.p.'s at the moment constantly collecting in all kind of fields voters for example with all these digital subjects they took all these photos which are coming like more from the digital natives area and now with this new statement about refugees they try to pick of course also people from the if the from the right wing side the move to has already ruled out forming a coalition with the left party the greens this time out at the lagging way behind in the polls there's even the possibility that we could see you know the grand coalition with the social democrats and that's when it comes to coalition

possibilities there are even some that would see him do a little cool not to be the next chancellor of germany however the most realistic options are that the free democrats will not only return to the fold to start following september the twenty olds vote but that they will also be part of the ruling coalition peter all of our people and. we did speak exclusively to the german foreign minister and vice chancellor gabrielle and he was also the chairman of the democratic party before stepping down from martin shells. well so my advice would be to vote for a party that stands for a good sense of community one that doesn't jeopardize jobs in germany the propaganda by a of the and sometimes by the left party against europe one should understand we live like we do only because we're a country that exports a lot of products to europe when our neighbors in europe do well we do well to

those who would seek to destroy europe like the f.t. and some in the left party would destroy millions of jobs in germany and make this country poorer. the leader of a muslim organization in norway has found himself in the headlines are refusing to shake hands with the country's immigration minister because she is a woman the man on the left here called islam net offered the minister a bunch of flowers at the beginning of a t.v. debate instead it did get a bad reaction though we got reaction from. the from the man ramadan foundation and also stephen morris from the english democrats party. trying to do is push his religious beliefs onto other people and what he's doing he's actually not integrated he doesn't want to integrate shake hands it's just a gesture of friendship and it's not down to religion it's not religious based however not shaking these hummed we'll insult people i'm not here to defend that

particular remark but i'm here to defend the right of people to choose how they practice their faith we have in our country and europe many orthodox jewish people who refused to shake the hand of women so actually it's something which goes on it's not disrespectful it's a formal respect this is about religious freedom and you know nowhere in what i've just seen which one of the i'm sure. the june. well let me show it is not unlike their leaders so you believe an issue of let me finish let me let me finish ok it's not about you telling other people what they can and cannot say there and it's not about you to decide to need term and what's acceptable or not if there is somebody within the jewish community orthodox jew jewish community are refusing to shake people's and do you have a problem well when i run for mayor greater manchester the ukip candidate was

jewish refused to shake hands with women. and i said that was not right that was against our culture so it's not just against islam or what you're talking about a one hundred friendship being given to somebody and it's been thrown in the face that when we go to morse or we go to synagogue we expect two other women to have a headscarf we expect to take our shoes off and very sort of things which we do as a matter of respect are i'm saying to you you've got to understand that if somebody individually wants to express their old way of practicing their faith why do the jewish member of our society why there are muslim or a christian or whichever faith they're from all they have to do is decide it is their choice to do that and we have to respect our. you're watching all of the international thanks for being with us this evening our program to continue after. the united nations and the security council in particular should be it should not

be a place for. the spotlight to must must their athletic skills they should be a place you should be a place. which is a who we should be which should be form its main responsibility to maintain this is a good. kind of financial survival john today was all about money laundering first to visit this cash industry different. oh good this is a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas or the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in their tough talk or see just after didn't call and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury on one bill again from that you know what money laundering is highly illegal. watch

keyser of course. as long as you run support still the intel international community should say to run this is not acceptable you should stop firing on this until from our perspective baseless ballots hamas saw this is will they do in the place but this is something that i believe israel should see too good or we draw some schools we do and i did states the states and to say ok it's not just you know a small easily problem. so skip the body i'm in. general get over it. if you will ubiquitous on the music
