defense stuff and he says that russian ships have been spotted perilously close to atlantic cables these are underwater very important strategic cables that cross the atlantic from europe to the u.s. and since according to peach russia has continued to develop its unconventional warfare well the internet could be the kremlin's next victim russia in addition to new ships and submarines continues to perfect both unconventional capabilities and information wolf. and there's a new risk. to our way of lawrence which is the vulnerability of the cables that crisscross the sea well according to says sure it peach that kind of disruption could have catastrophic event effects and he stressed that russian ships are constantly cruising the atlantic's waters potentially with the purpose of causing

these cables when no one is watching and as is often the case when military officials make these warnings well there is a way of mitigating this threat that he's talking about according to him and that is by spending more money on defense quite an important and perhaps also ironic side note to this story is the fact that these cable cables that we're talking about are the very same cables that we know that britain and the u.s. have been tapping we know that thanks to the leaks of edward snowden from back in two thousand and thirteen we know that g.c. h.q. the british spy agency also its u.s. counterpart the n.s.a. they've been gathering intelligence through these cables for years for example g.h.q. tempora program that placed data or interceptors on those fiber optic cables that connect the u.s. and europe and all the information flowing from the u.k.

was intercepted it made this sort of trance atlantic network that allowed british intelligence to access huge amounts of traffic going from europe to the u.s. the n.s.a. had a very similar program which is called prism as well none of that appears to bother this nato official who is making this warning about russia potentially cutting the cables the message from him appears to be the next time that your internet is playing up well before you start cursing your internet provider make sure it wasn't the russians first poly boy girl or the us. previously showed concern over alleged underwater wiretapping by the russians and twenty fifteen back then it was claimed moscow might be plotting to sever their lines during so-called periods of conflict no evidence however was put forward by either washington or london international affairs commentator jonathan steele says britain is using threats real or imagined

to avoid cutbacks to its armed forces. there's an old allegation two years ago already the u.s. naval officials in the pentagon in washington were making exactly the same claims i mean it's just part of the new technology that's available to. countries like russia and the united states and britain part of the sort of hybrid. capabilities which everybody seems to be developing. satellites hybrid war sort of navies and air forces and armies are always trying to get more money there was against cuts so anything that helps them put forward what they think is a strong argument will try and use of course i mean we know that. seventy one the united states managed to tap a secret underwater carry ball in the sea of the hearts of the serviette nuclear forces to find out what soviet nuclear probabilities and intentions were so this is a very old technology. the story of a meeting between

a russian lawyer and donald trump's eldest son was all across the media earlier in the year they tell your vessel and sky was portrayed as a kremlin agent even though she repeatedly denied any such links last month the lawyer was asked to respond to questions from a us senate committee best elite's guy wrote to the senators that donald trump jr was seeking evidence of a legal donations to the clinton foundation when she said she had no such evidence he apparently lost interest in the conversation vessel it's guy believes trump jr had misunderstood the nature of the meeting she expected the senate committee to publish her written testimony but that never happened so she handed it to the u.s. media facilities guy told us more about the controversial meeting. what this mia said this summer it dawned on me why mr trump had decided to meet with me in person and why he decided to meet a school where it's all linked to e-mails from mr goldstein some incriminating

information just look at the e-mail that got the attention of the president's son it was sent on june third and this is the latter that the congressman questioned me about this e-mail paints the whole picture of the spy drama that's been unfolding since july and the first part of the letter goldstone writes the crown prosecutor of russia has information that would incriminate telerate and his dealings with russia and you were see if this is part of russia and its government support the father when you see all this you can't help but wonder how such stuff could happen if the calm prosecutor from goldstone's latter is the russian prosecutor general it means that he's giving information that's actually in implicates russia itself in supporting one of the presidential candidates it is total nonsense the various government offices in the us are working with this nonsense spending millions of taxpayer dollars on investigations subpoenas and smear campaigns that will ruin

people's reputations and careers of course other score political points and become popular politicians or journalists and they forget about the huge army of lawyers who also make money for mess they are happy so much excitement. in. the middle east no riots are continuing in the west bike following washington's controversial recognition of jerusalem as the is really capital for palestinian protesters were killed dozens more injured in clashes with police. go. the. palestinian is said to be in a call. the decision after allegedly stabbing an israeli defense soldier earlier today at a checkpoint when to stand in the west bank town of ramallah while here in jerusalem

there were a small number of protesters spent most of the day shouting allah akbar no they were generally peaceful although there were some small but intense scuffles between palestinian protesters and the israeli security services here including we saw footage of what appears to be a woman being punched in the face by a member of the security services in addition to that small group of women who were holding that protest for a number of hours actually were at one point preventing jewish people from being able to leave and go up the steps here at damascus gate and as a result of that the security services came down and forcibly removed them pushing them up the steps and away from this area so the tensions still remain there bubbling not just under the surface but over the surface people incredibly unhappy by that decision by dawn from move that a week ago now on the latest develops of that we've heard also that he and lebanon have decided that they are going to open embassies for palestine here in east

jerusalem that comes off the back of that extraordinary meeting that was held in istanbul just a few days ago where it was announced by the organization of islamic cooperation that they would recognize east jerusalem as being the official capital of palestine in direct contradiction from what the usa did more than a week ago by recognizing to resell them as being the capital of israel therefore the tensions still remain and it seems though it's not just a tension here between israelis and palestinians but this is a tension that's now expanding to many other countries in the world. charlotte mention protests in solidarity with polish man are being held across the middle aged in jordan capital crowds demonstrated by the u.s. embassy after friday prayers. hundreds of people gathered outside be. u.n. building waving palestinian flags. protests have been raging in dallas well this march in fact was largely peaceful but as you can see that u.s.

a non-lethal weapon to subdue targets but when misused can result in death since the turn of the century over one thousand people have died in the us after being tasered by police on the ridge nine out of every ten of those victims were on armed it's also been revealed a number of those tasered also had mental illness as concerns of police abuse have prompted the international to issue an appeal for stricter taser rules in the us one victim who sued officers described what he went through. recovered like physically but mentally i'm the. heart of think about still even though it's been one year.
