they don't accept his resignation because he's supposedly being held there against his well let's take a lesson that. way and don't measure martha locked away in that they smash em too much time out to less mobile how to when i can look man yes have had on the telly for the. people i was with my son hariri is detained in saudi arabia and prevented up until this moment from returning to lebanon this should be said very clearly the prime minister of lebanon is detained in saudi arabia and he is predicted from returning to lebanon. so it's all mixed together and we see lemon lebannon also caught up in the bigger conflict between saudi arabia and iran and frankly that can be seen in the number of countries in the region we've just been talking about the missile that was launched from yemen yemen has been of course engulfed in civil war for two years now and then that case we have saudi arabia the support of the government

that was ousted back then whereas iran backs the who's the rebels who are fighting very government and of course last saturday's missile was fired by the yemeni rebels at the saudi capital so all of that is just intertwined and that you can also be seen in syria as well saudi arabia is. where is iran this. and we just have all these proxy wars and conflicts happening outside not direct conflict but it's very concerning that this could actually push them into direct conflict as everything escalates and so no word from harry in the last few hours either is that that's dzakovic i think it's going to be in the studio let's return now to our guest martin jay a beirut based journalist martin i don't know whether you're just listening to that lebanon has been joining the conflict as well we touched upon the earlier in our chats and iran banks has been a group which is very influential was accused of aiding the missile attack what do you think is behind all of these actions by riyadh. well i think riyadh

is rolling out new plan no to create chaos in the region where every. level and not respect geopolitically is an easy short it's a low hanging fruit. i think in the last few days in this with this fiasco this debacle with the who really did nothing this just proves at this stage. and read. the report rewards politically so that's what we are expecting a bit of the same time what you've got going on what we're witnessing is a sort of cover up of sort of smoke and mirrors. destruction theatrical escapade of some sort by mohamed bin someone who wants to distract all the attention away from the chaos of his own country because the purge that's going on of political rivals or even anybody who contradicts it will be some sort of a hindrance to him taking the throne in the coming weeks or coming months you know

that's also quite sensational itself and it's not he's not to himself any favors by drawing media attention to what's really have to which is a sort of middle age sort of purge of quote unquote disproportionate i mean so you know you've got you've got a lot of. various things going on and nothing is entirely clear and of course that is also assisted by quite compliance. line media in the region but has a lot of benefit from keeping these myths and just information being pumped into the into the public domain there is no chaos in lebanon at the moment things are very calm here you know the local currency is quite stable and people are getting on with their lives or with what we're seeing right now is the use trying to create some tension or chaos were threats. which doesn't actually exist. ok that's based on this martin jay thank you for joining us on r.t. international and sharing your thoughts. which is positive information request by

an italian journalist who has been following these son's case side back in twenty forty and and despite the fact that this journalist who asked for this information had said that it's actually according to her incredible that this information would be destroyed and that they must have something to hide the crown prosecution service have said that whatever information was deleted despite there being impossible for them to get this information back they're saying that this was something that had no legal implications in the astonished case now according to the weekly leaks founder himself he has tweeted that the u.k. . prosecution prosecution destroyed all the e-mails the u.k. told sweden not to interview me back in twenty eleven and twenty thirteen and sweden wanted to burn after reading those e-mails that's according to julian assange now we can also tell you that there is a lawyer in an upcoming information tribunal surrounding these latest developments

that are going to be heard in london next week who has said that these potential revelations could have had some impact on the amount of time that the assad case has dragged out for serious questions must be asked about the role of the crown prosecution service had the swedes interviewed a songe back in two thousand and ten one wonders whether this case would have continued for such a long time we have to remember that julian assange has been staying here at the dorian embassy in london since the summer of twenty twelve and organizations such as the united nations have found his detention to be arbitrary and this swedish prosecution has already dropped the rape allegations that were brought against him initially so obviously these this is now seen as quite crucial information in terms of what this could have meant for the amount of time he has been staying here in london which is human rights campaigner peter tatchell believes these deleted e-mails could have had a significant impact on us on his case. and that does call into question what was deleted and why we know that you know your request the samples of the

service responding to a freedom of information request did redact the fact that it had advised the swedish lawyer that not to come to london today was drawn asar in the process and the only way this was found out was because the italians will porter who made that f l i request to the u.k. authorities this made a similar mid-west of the swedish authorities minister and she was then given the unredacted version which confirms that the crown prosecution service in the u.k. did indeed advise the swedish prosecutors not to come to london to interview. if the prosecutors had come to london and interview julia songe as he said he was willing to be interviewed then this long drawn out case may not continue all these

years. german police or thirty's are investigating claims organized criminal groups have infiltrated their ranks and other state services as after police union a claim to members of an arab underworld clan managed to sneak an insider into the burly enforce. clear indications the large arab clans have an infiltration strategy and try to keep certain family members away from criminal activities so the police chief has denied all the allegations of scandal comes just two days after the city's police academy was accused of enrolling violent and criminal trainees aren't paid to oliver has been investigating the story. amid accusations there were violent or even criminal recruits in its academy things were already looking bad for berlin's police force but now it's got a whole lot worse with the arrest of an intern which is a ruptured into a deeply embarrassing scandal the twenty year old female student is accused of

illegally copying photos of people wanted in a police operation and sending them on it's alleged she was planted in the force by one of the city's notorious our mafia clans we forwarded the allegations to the police and this was all we received a response berlin police have launched a criminal investigation into a twenty year old student from the berlin school of economics and law she's accused of revealing state secrets is it true that the suspect has migrant roots yes. those who devote their time to studying the mafia clans of the lynn say attempts to increase diversity in the police as left the door open to infiltration the way is to. create terror of. birth because in the police academy the new government in berlin has less. reform.

for the first phone port to three percent of. people we have by evolution big crowd who accept that it's was good for them to infiltrate. doing last week an anonymous letter was sent to the earl in chief of police purporting to be from a long serving detective it claimed that arabic mafia families were using the berlin academy to infiltrate the force something the city's police union says that currently isn't any proof of. at the moment we do not have any cases where there is clear evidence of that but we do understand that criminal organizations like these clans have an incentive to try and infiltrate government organizations like the police and that's why it's so important during training that we identify who

belongs as part of the police force and who does not. who are the arabic mafia clowns that it's claimed run ins criminal underworld among dozens of it's impossible to put a percentage figure on how much criminality they account for but if you look into it then yes they are present in all different types of crime revenues drugs record during prostitution criminal revenue streams and it's for those reasons that people directly involved in law enforcement and the citizens of berlin. i want to know if the police force has been compromised by criminals peter all of us. will be back after this short break stay with us. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your

last wrong turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each other. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was a game still some more fun to view those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never like it said one does not leave a funeral the same this one enters my mind gets consumed with this one to. speak to us there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker.

at the actual dinner table on the hosting leaders right and left we saw the leader of china xi jinping and the president of russia vladimir putin while donald trump was sat somewhere on the opposite side we've seen the putin trump handshake here in vietnam but no formal meeting or talks that many many people here were really expecting i can tell you that journalists were on the brink of so to say harassing the officials on both sides russian and american about the possibility of the meeting but the formal meeting didn't happen maybe some other time. meanwhile another thumb it highlight came during the latest photo shoot putin's informal greeting of peru's president when petro kaczynski passed the russian leader instead of the usual handshake curtain gave him a casual high five. and

emmanuel mark on he actually suggested that they needed to be some proposed amendments to the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal with iran in a situation the situation we're facing now this agreement of twenty fifteen is no longer sufficient we should not be reconsidered or eliminated but it should be completed with necessary point. well it seems that that suggestion to renegotiate that deal with iran has gone down like a bit of a lead balloon with some of his colleagues in the e.u. who have said that that is not an option on the table it's very important to keep the nuclear agreement as it is negotiations renegotiation is not possible in our view and that you do not change an agreement that is delivering outside of the agreement in the proper forum for months once it's very clear that the nuclear deal implementation is preserved by all sides for including iran now much corn justified his intervention in the region in the middle east on thursday by saying that it was

important that people brought stability and peace and he wanted france to be a piece of that however it's unclear what kind of peace he can actually bring to the region. of the cia has created a program to impersonate the software of russian antivirus company has perth's up the lake revealed details on how the so-called hi virus allegedly works fighting its code as evidence the virus is there to implant itself on computers and send back in from. nation to the cia and it's easy to mistakenly install it as we kill exclaims it mimics the appearance of common programs if the targeted company attempts to find who's penetrated its computer it's likely to find entities not actually involved in the process as their identities have been impersonated because founder eugene because confirmed on twitter that they moan when mimicked his firm
