the chair approves the use of u.s. attack drones paving the way for further troop deployments in the west african nation. president trump it says there was no collusion between his camp and moscow after his former aide pleads guilty to lying to the f.b.i. about contacts with the russian ambassador. and the berlin arctic species of martyrdom gets mixed reactions as it displays martin luther king jr alongside terrorists. welcome to you want to add here in moscow my name is neil harvey you're watching r.t. international. the government has given washington permission to use drones

in anti terror in the country that's according to the pentagon the state department has done of has more. drones one of america's best loved warfare tactics is reportedly coming to africa's west coast. a potential new pin on the u.s. bombing map as washington pushes ahead with its anti extremist campaign on the continent a leaked memo outlines the units and bolts of the deal between the pentagon and new jet calling for arming of the surveillance drones operating from a local base also an additional troops deployment this operation supports the long term strategic partnership between the united states in nigeria as well as the ongoing if it to counter violent extremism throughout the region all in the name of the war on terror since nine eleven the pentagon has been hell bent on dropping bombs from huey's on afghanistan yemen pakistan somalia the line up goes on really

but for civilians in those countries a distant buzz up in the sky can be a death warrant in fact a u.s. drones have slaughtered someone and a half thousand civilians according to an estimate by the bureau of investigative journalism and the figure shouldn't really come as much of a surprise to anyone who's seen what has been among the drones targets. the same unit which would be in charge of news year drone operations is standing accused of killing ten civilians in somalia this summer something the u.s. africa command has denied now that the u.s. is apparently planning to open a new front in its drone war this could also mean more work for the pentagon's

p.i.r. machine you've done of our. in october the death of full u.s. soldiers in an ambush in asia reveals america's military presence in the country was something even seen u.s. politicians seemed unaware of american troops were deployed on to the obama administration to help jerry and forces fight against local terrorists south african affairs analyst lawrence freeman says that west african countries come under a lot of pressure from their western allies probably less than a thousand troops in this year and this will now significantly increase that over a thousand this is the first time our armed drones will be flying so this is a big problem for the near government and for west africa and for all the africa. is now allowing the united states to carry out these kinds of military pacts this as you will now work it's not going to be successful without

a larger strategic picture and the african countries now are being pressured by the west in the chopper ministration to allow these armed drones and other military build up and i'm sure it's going to cause in many many internal problems and it will not solve the problem of terrorism. they have been fierce clashes in the german city of hanover the crowd of anti racism activists tried to disrupt the congress will turn to for germany party which is known for its anti immigration policy. i i. i i. i i i i am having i

have had all i please find water cannon on the crowd as they staged a sit in just outside the congress fair knew several people were injured we'll turn to the germany party known as a.f.p. has risen to prominence since the start of the migrant crisis the party won seats in parliament for the first time allowing september's elections. as they were germany a berlin arctic submission devoted to the idea of martyrdom has sparked control of the sea by featuring terrorists along sly side the likes of socrates and martin luther king jr to explain all his aunties peter oliver. an exhibition called maltese museum has just opened in the german capital alongside socrates and mostly sicking jr it places those that flew planes into the world trade center at the attack is of the but cyclone theater the suicide bomber that killed forty people on the moscow metro saying that they are all examples of people that gave their lives

for what they believed in it's all part of a festival of knowle the new european oh it is the brainchild of today both the organizes and the artists themselves refused to either give us an interview or to allow me to film the exhibition they did send this e-mail. what do the people of bilin think about must militarists being venerated in this way is it right to put these people on display in this type of exhibition here in the know from you know life is just a refuge i think that people would have differing perspectives obviously lumping different groups of people together is always a complicated subject because they come from different backgrounds i don't know i don't think so why. just be at two different types of people and it's not the same when we agree with even perspective or not use is not for us to decide because react is i pretty much yes the exhibition is about is about moving the psychology

behind most of them or towards people who do certain things it's not a problem as long as the exhibition focuses on the differentiation of martyrdom that could potentially lead to murder or curses martyrdom that that you know the civil rights for example like that's just basic human rights the motto or. die only for themselves or believe yeah yeah in what they have believed and the on that matter because they count i'm not that person are many other persons i don't think that. but you could piece together the artists had previously explained to the media that the idea was to try and put yourself in the mindset of somebody who's willing to die for what they believed in even if that belief was horrific to you a sensory experience using lights and sounds to try and explain the old adage of

one man's terrorist being another man's freedom fighter. the point is to present a complex view on the world of marx's and we understand that everyone has a different perspective but it's the personal perspective that matters in this exhibition bush for some it's impossible to see the artistic intention beyond the reality of an exhibition that places mass murderers alongside civil rights champions peter all of r.t. berlin. donald trump has given his first comments following the news his former national security advisor michael flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. the president once again said that there had been no collusion between his camp in moscow. thank god what has been shown. is that absolutely with absolutely no clue

so we're very happy. flynn pleaded guilty on friday to lying to the f.b.i. about conversations he had a year ago with russia's then ambassador to the united states the ex advisors also agreed to fully cooperate with the so-called russia investigation trump also wrecked it on twitter saying flynt was fired for making the same misleading statements to the vice president but he added his former advisors actions during the transition didn't violate the law to explain all his killing more pay. we have michael flynn pleading guilty to charges of making false statements to federal agents at this point he's facing a sentence of between zero and six months in jail as well as a possible fine of up to nine thousand five hundred dollars now of course the mainstream media is in an uproar others talk about the rush investigation all kinds of things are being made in the press this is being treated as a very big story let's recall how michael flynn stepped down as national security

advisor when he was serving in the trumpet ministration mr flynn misled vice president pence and now it appears that he's pled guilty to misleading federal agents now at this point you know the white house has come forward and said look this charge doesn't implicate anyone other than michael flynn the full statements involved mirror the full statements to white house officials which resulted in his resignation in february of this year nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than mr flynn we've had several indictments at this point individuals who misled federal officials made false statements that are now facing criminal charges but as of yet the collusion story isn't really materializing could filings reveal that flynn contacted the russian ambassador asking to delay or defeat a vote on a u.n. resolution involving israel he also allegedly discussed the response to the

sanctions imposed by the obama administration on cool and also said he consulted senior trum transition officials over those contacts former russian envoy. could deny that he ever discuss sanctions with. i was instructed not to discuss the sanctions and i assure you that i follow those instructions we also go over this issue because from the beginning we have considered it illegal under. two point five magnitude earthquake has been detected in north korea close to where the country recently conducted a nuclear test this is according to south korea's weather agency is the fourth traveler since the test raising fears that the area is suffering from so-called tired mountain syndrome with the ground becoming unstable in all japan the u.s. have called a u.n. security council meeting after north korea conducted a ballistic missile test thursday and the south korean parliament adopted

a resolution on saturday calling on pyongyang to stop provoking tensions and while six u.s. fighter jets have arrived in seoul for upcoming address and hawaii has begun testing its new clear warning signs for the first time since the cold war. i feel a little bit like it is out of my head no idea how much supposed to like find a bomb shelter or am i supposed to go to the bank.

regarding the new one alarm system i wonder what good it's going to do i remember the nine hundred fifty when i had to put my head under a desk elementary school and ten minutes warning what good does that do you just ridiculous. and i speak now to andrew learned he's an international and independent asia specialist andrew good to speak she south korea the us about start a large scale military exercise i understand around twelve thousand soldiers going to be in volved given the situation at the moment though do you consider that a wise some might say a reckless move what's your opinion. well we're hearing the same kind of. like a broken record the same things going over and over again the same tools in the two pit of being employed to know you faked so obviously there is the use doing more of the same and all of the solve the such the problem you've got to understand. all

the relevant parties what they want for north korea what they want is no less that a car insurance policy against threats to region change mainly coming from the united states and then the insurance policy can only because if they develop a nuclear weapon capability of delivering it over the us homeland and i think that they are quite near that and in fact that the recent test suggest that the range of the i.c.b.m. could cover the entire. states. is the question of whether the warheads would also need further tests to make sure that they can survive we entry the trajectory and also the size the. capacity of the nuclear bombs and some say even hydrogen bomb is now being you know sort of rapidly.

developing so i think that they are almost at the threshold of securing this ensure these points are well as far as the american markets and concerned of course they feel threatened and as the world's superpower the contour rate. of smallish country both korea developing this capability to challenge. the homeland security but of course what are the options open because obviously the united states have to keep the capability to reiterate north korea from the face. but that there is no option because a this is likely to ask into a regional war and secondly also this would put south korea. don't forget there are plows and of. more more heavy artillery with the

in less than one hundred miles. or so each ones are ok you just. harvest want to watch that just want to get in if you can keep it brief answer possible just ask you about the russian delegation which has come back from north korea they've said pyongyang would hold peace talks with the us if america recognizes them as being a nuclear power is there any chance of that happening. yes i think that the. the russia and also china could seize the opportunity to broker a cost. more like question pact between north korea and the united states. in exchange for a force of force of all force the north koreans need to stop the further testing and also particularly the testing of i.c.b.m.'s you need change for america lifting

sanctions and also. maybe helping north korea to stabilize the cyclone of the in terms of investments and so on so forth and in that regard both russia and china have a role to play and up with the both china russia can broker this deal behind the scenes first before everything is rolling into the open but the most important thing. for america to have a less threaten less threatening north korea. military coercion is not the answer and i think the lesson could be learned from one. how. do i do apologize and that we have run out on this you know appreciate you joining us my guest andre long international independent asia special. ok we're going to be looking at unrest in honduras after this short break.

protocol it's more than just money it's more than just revolutionary it's printing black call that sucking in every asset class known to the history of humanity into one glorious up to who knows where. the definition of the israeli state is jewish and give all kind of take in my opinion floated that up citizen self as it is a jewish state for the jewish. citizens said the wall kind of state this is how it goes isn't i likes usually equal it says today that it be a come to these when it is they are talking about the economy but when get the a one only compared with out of work.

welcome back the government on jurist has imposed a ten day curfew and the deadly street riots in central american nations in the grip of a political crisis over claims a ballot fraud at the recent election. i . i. i. i i i

i i. i . along with the curfew the government has suspended citizens' constitutional rights to help the police and army to deal with the situation the restaurant did after the opposition alleged fraud in the vote count in the election nineteen year old female protester has been killed twenty of the people been injured in clashes. and the tensions spilled over after both of the main candidates claimed victory in sunday's vote opposition candidate salvador nasser i as rejected the final count which gave the lead to the current president one orlando and under questions were raised when and under suddenly surged into the lead very late in the count let's get some more insight now from daniel schorr he's a fresh of latin american and caribbean studies at the city university of new york daniel numerous irregularities reported regarding this election including delays

in rural votes and explain computer glitches it's kind of the evidence is building do you think that that amounts to election fraud. yeah this is another coup in honduras similar to the two thousand and cool though this is an electoral clue it's clear that salvador nuts rolo won the majority vote about five days ago and then suddenly there was silence across the country in the media and then to the surprise of everybody they announced that. the president of the dictator was already in power one and is was magically the victor to the surprise of the one during community into human rights organizations across the world. if the final results are confirmed and under the gets gets the vote do you think things could escalate will we see increased violence. the enduring people have

taken the streets very courageously just as they didn't two thousand and nine when mine was a lie the democratically elected president was overthrown in a coup a coup that was backed of course by washington d.c. when hillary clinton was secretary of state and barack obama was the president the under and people were in the streets for months and months to denounce the school run door and people are very very courageous and they'll continue to be in the streets to denounce this electoral fraud. what do you think about the government giving the army and police more powers to contain the unrest what do you make of those tactics and do you think they could backfire. this cruel military and police rule in martial law are in the curfew violations of international law and of human rights we have to see the bigger picture here the role that one door is always played in central america as the backyard of the

united states the u.s. as two military bases with a attack the contras in the one nine hundred eighty s. today they use these bases to do as they will in central america and in latin america the u.s. embassy is minute hotbed of activity for the past few nights where cia officials and u.s. intelligence officials have been exchanging plans with their top lieutenants their . puppets as it were and there's no question that one hundred people are going to continue to resist despite the state violence that they're confronting daniel appreciate your views thanks for coming on and say daniel schorr my guest professor of latin american and caribbean studies city university of new york and thank you so much for all of you cheating into us here on out international this evening my colleague thomas will bring you right up to date the latest headlines at the top of the hour.

rattansi or watching a going underground special at the russian british business forum twenty seventeen at the queen elizabeth the second conference center in the heart of westminster as britain desperately tries to forge trade deals around the world as the cost of brecht's it apparently reaches one hundred billion pounds coming up on the show the russian ambassador to britain alexander. fake news makes planes always sign a russian plan with pyongyang for peace could have prevented the need for nato

condemnation for this week's korean i.c.b.m. strike and why the chair of the russian british chamber of commerce roger money is on why brecht sanctions mean business between london and moscow while russia's trade representative to the u.k. heralds britain's threshold of a new era of trade and economic relations between the two u.n. security council members plus more of a friend and neighbor say what action the government is proposing to take against russian backed agencies spreading fake he's in this information we need to be doing it in a political campaign questions to the defacto u.k. deputy prime minister because tourism a was in saudi arabia surely this m.p. wasn't referring to fake news about the deputies extreme pornography investigation all this and more coming up in today's going on the ground for london's q e two center in london where hundreds of business leaders gather doing grease ties between russia and britain doggedly in defiance of a british prime minister who believes a bloody mia putin is destroying western democracy firstly we spoke to russia's

ambassador to the u.k. alexander yucca van gogh in a week that was internationally dominated by the perceived threat to world peace posed by north korea a message of thanks for coming to our makeshift studio just before we get to the russian british business forum your reaction this. this week we've had headlines all about how north korea can destroy the earth your reaction to that information well of course you're talking about the testing and. well i basically expected that because the west didn't support the initiative for russia in china so called double freeze so what we proposed we proposed that north career should stop testing of the nuclear weapons and stop testing missiles in return the the west should definitely. rhetorical towards the north korea and stop military maneuvers or give washington and of course nato disagree with you

what about london as well as we say here where they are saying that part of we've put this question of the security council and london of course was on the side of the united states so i'm trying to explain all the time to my british colleagues that they should hear the voice of the real sense in this world and join the russian initiative unfortunately it's not the case today but the initiative was on the table now i don't know whether it's hollywood films or whatever but any business people thinking of investing in russia right now i know we have breakfast coming they're going to be frightened their vision of doing business in russia is with a corrupt country full of all agog some people that have to report to the kremlin how do you see this summit persuading people to do trade with russia and have it really is that perspective well it's you know the first saw everything would you said is just the exact reflection.
