saudi arabia's deadly bombing campaign in yemen which has been going on for three years now the lily a somali was one of those demonstrations for us. there are around three four hundred people here at this protest against the visit of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin cell but the protesters from back radio position activists protesting against saudi arabia's continued involvement since they helped to suppress the revolution of two thousand and eleven to those opposing the arms trade and the war in yemen one of the people we spoke to was the labor m.p. chris williamson the british military advisors to be involved but sixty two a whole new level and frankly trampling on britain's presentation. as a nation that stands up for human rights that we've got no place it seems to me selling arms to saudi arabia and certainly we should not be participating in facilitating the war while having military advisors there now since the saudi

bombardment of yemen began in two thousand and fifty the u.k. has sold over four and a half billion pounds worth of weapons while the us. still worth over one hundred ten billion pounds some of the biggest deals in u.s. history and visits all but i have met been selma also being raised in parliament today by the labor leader jeremy corbett a humanitarian disaster is now taking place in yemen million his face starvation six hundred thousand children have cholera because of the saudi led bombing campaign and the bloc a germany has suspended arms sales to saudi arabia but british arms sales have shot me increased and british military advisers are directing the wall it cannot be right that her governments this is speech cannot be right that her government is

colluding in one of the united nations ses is evidence of war crimes but it's also to be meant. that in addition to these hundreds of protesters there is a slow council protest numbering a couple of dozen people who are here to welcome the government been so loud that but in any case this protest definitely the larger of the two. former russian policemen labelled the siberian rippers been jailed for life for a series of grisly murders of the shocked the nation the fifty two year old had been described though as a model employee and a perfect husband but none the less it seems have been living a sinister double life for almost two decades.

thank. you with their skills machine you know it's. going to toss these people in the slot and still give. you. thank.

you. you know the deal is the. it's not the. truth. which i would just want you to do to them. but i would cry in the u.s. after the merge to saudi national with suspected links to al qaida was able to live freely in the country for seven years is will make has no demanding answers as to why the state department granted the amount of these it is kind of moped reports may be hard to believe but the alleged al qaeda terrorist has been living in the united states for seven years unnoticed saudi national naive flower flogged is now been arrested and at this point members of congress want answers about how this was

allowed to happen in two thousand he attended an al qaeda training camp two thousand and eleven he moved to oklahoma on a nonimmigrant visa joining his wife in two thousand and sixteen he was even able to get a pilot's license however that was revoked when the f.b.i. finally started an investigation now he is in custody awaiting trial on a number of charges the indictment charges two counts of these a fraud. the third countercharges health launch with making a false statement to the f.b.i. when he denied ever having associated with anyone from a foreign terrorist group he may not have been able to enter the united states of authorities had actually been able to pay more attention it turns out that back in two thousand and one his fingerprints were actually found on an application to a terrorist training camp furthermore his father was named as a person of trust in an al qaeda document now at this point that data was not able

to be analyzed until twenty seventeen i'd say there was a number of breakdowns going back to where the original intelligence was maintained and stools he should have been on the watch lists you know who was on the list oh marmont teen the pulse nightclub shooter recently released cell phone records indicate that just days before the attack he was considering whether or not to attack disneyland he was on the f.b.i.'s radar screen after making threats against his coworkers and claiming to have ties to jihad ists however after ten months of monitoring and three f.b.i. interviews they determined that he was quote not violent or dangerous after he did carry out his attack the f.b.i. said he had self radicalized on the internet we're working hard to understand the killer and his motives and his sources of inspiration. but we are highly confident that this killer was radicalized and at least in some ports through the internet so the internet did it hah well remember that florida school shooter apparently he

left tips on the internet that he was planning to shoot up the school people called the f.b.i. about it but they never bothered to look into the matter if it is a term in the protocol was not. the information was not provided above and below. it no further investigation was conducted that. this is an ongoing failure of the united states and it's not just the u.s. it's also in europe to properly vet these people and the f. the i had ample warning that the orlando attacker was a threat because he was muslim but they did not want to look into it they did not want to seem that they were targeting the certain religious group even reports that come out with school shootings in the united states where the f.b.i. many times received a phone call warning them about these shooters and nothing happened because of that the f.b.i. did not follow up so i think it's not so much a lack of resources at it as it is a lack of knowledge or understanding about threats that matter the most. reporting

makes you crane the started seizing assets belonging to the russian energy giant gazprom for years loga speed of augusta applause or discuss the latest twists and turns to the studio with a patrol. well it's one of these cases when you can easily say not again russia and ukraine could be on the brink of an all out gas war again as you said kiev's begun seizing the assets of russia's energy giant gas but a few days ago gasper said it was scrapping all sales and transit contracts with kiev however there is something for you to bear in mind no matter what happens in politics all the difficulties between kiev and moscow the ultimate reality has been that ukraine has been relying on gas imports from russia all along for all these years eastern and central europe to a massive share of these gas supplies is delivered through ukraine if there's jenga

tower of contracts for purchases the transit and all the political issues to top all that off collapses staying warm in eastern europe during this very cold spring as we all know could become an issue but a blip company has been asked me said it was a blip in the. believe ukraine was siphoning off some of the guys will come out of it i'm sitting ok because russia wants to be seen as a reliable partner doesn't it so to try and get this kind of the catalyst for where we are now was a recent call well ukraine's nafta gas and russia's gas from have been settling their disputes in a style called arbitration court and in the last few years there have been so many issues and between these two but just a short while ago one stockholm tribunals decision forced the firm to pay

the russians a sum of about two billion u.s. dollars that was basically a gas bill that they hadn't paid but then the latest decision was that russia's gas brom must pay. ukraine's nafta gatt more than four point six billion u.s. dollars and that was for abusing their position as a monopoly and if you do the math then moscow and he have more than two point five billion u.s. dollars and the boss is a gas more extremely unhappy they were saying that the reasoning for that was completely unfair and that they're just bailing out a shattered economy which many times as we've seen just couldn't pay for the gas that they were buying now betrayed says justified a decision by the show of deterioration in the economy we're categorically against the economic problems been solved. so russia ukraine gas wars have

happened before and it has previously led to energy crises in the region those in the west as you were saying for now they don't have to worry about anything and again it's not in any of russia's interests to spoil this reputation as a reliable partner but previously kiev has been caught for illegally siphoning off russia's gas intended for europe so there have been disruptions in gas deliveries but obviously russia how to protect its political and economic interests and technically it wasn't gas rahm's fault. palestinians in the district close to jerusalem's old city say their lives are being ruined right now by an excavation project but eighth the israeli archaeologists and settlers have been tunneling on the buildings in the neighborhood in the search of the ancient ruins of the city of david but seems their activities appear to be causing devastation above ground.

good.

friends. under-performing the stock market oh my god blackstone one arbitrage opportunity you have brought amongst yourselves i suggest you short yourselves opara money into you eviscerate your own corporate balance sheet and then blow your brains out on live t.v. they gave us a kind of fun experience for the financial predatory class. your column say that. something is good. oh but.

for. whatever. the principle is good though the principle is but has to be apply equally and that is. flowing welcome to cross talk we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle the united states and russia have announced their nuclear weapons posture both countries are in train a new age of war the age of hypersonic weapons we were told the russians hypersonic

weapons can render us lead missile defense systems useless can washington allow this to stand and are we now in a new arms race. across talking hypersonic wars i'm joined by my guest george samuel in new york he is a fellow at the global policy institute of london and author of the book bombs for peace. in lake jackson we have daniel mcadams he's the executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity and in london we have married a chef skee she is a columnist for the independent and the guardian all right crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate mary let me go to you first here are the reactions to president putin's address to the joint some billy. parliament last week was like a thunderbolt for a lot of people and of course that was roundly condemned no context was given except for the russians are bad and aggressive behavior that's what we hear all the

time but the fact of the matter is and i'm sure this applies to everyone here and many of our viewers if you look back at. for example in two thousand and two when the united states unilaterally moved away dropped the anti-ballistic missile treaty the very foundation of arms control speed up to the munich security conference in two thousand and seven read that speech read the speech that putin gave to the general assembly the united nations in two thousand and fifteen and then we have last week what i'm doing is connecting a lot of dots anyone that's paying attention understands perfectly well what's going on here ok mary go right go ahead. well i think that everybody sort of thinks that they understand what's going on but one thing that they certainly didn't understand or at least i felt that about the british reaction was that they did not understand that putin is in an election campaign so i think you have to understand that this was a state of the nation speech given in the context of

a russian election in less than a month's time and it's all very well for people in the west to say oh it's not a proper election no putin's bound to win and there's no contest and all that is probably true but the fact is that there is a campaign and putin needs to get his vote out and i think without that context the picture is incomplete but if we go back to the actual substance of what putin was talking about under of course the spectacular visual effects that played behind him i knew i watched that speech live and i knew what the response was going to be as soon as he was talking i knew what it was going to be it was going to be about a new cold war it was going to be about russian war mongering and it was going to be about a new arms race and yet if you read very carefully or if you listened to what putin was actually saying he was talking about russian security he was

talking about the american unilateral application of the missile defense treaty and about how the united states had been developing that particular branch of weapons technology defense technology and russia had decided and had now achieved its aim of catching up very well i mean i don't think the election playing really has anything to do it is because the speech that he gave was supposed to be given last december. but b. they were interested paid in the nuclear posture review and they held it back so with all due respect to mary i don't think it has anything new with domestic politics ok but daniel the but one of the things is that i think and i've been watching president putin from the time he came into office he's not one prone to embellish or to exaggerate as a matter of fact it's very straightforward and to the point here and i think this

is this speech was a reaction they digested all of these military and security reviews the trumpet ministration has put put out and well the russians are putting their marker down and i think that it was it was and then i'll agree with mary i mean after all of the broken promises all of these new weapons systems russia said ok we can push back and we will go ahead daniel. you know i think there is an element of electioneering and i think if it's not perhaps a somewhat more subtle but i can imagine that president putin has a lot of his he has a lot of vulnerability in a way on his right for lack of better term people in russia russian voters who are expecting him to be a little bit more responsive to u.s. provocations to nato provocations on russia's border to us occupying thirty percent of syria illegally i can imagine that's where his weakness is if he has any weakness among russian voters people saying why are we sitting there letting them walk all over us so in that sense perhaps that is entering into his mind but

otherwise i mean if that is the case how different is that than any u.s. presidential campaign where they all try to outflank each other being more much more pro-war than anyone else you know it george the a no in my in my first question to mary i mean i kind of gave the lineage there it's really quite remarkable to me that how remarkable the response has been because if you're been looking at arms control and u.s. russia relations over the last decade or so. you know russia is basically telling the united states that your threats against our sovereignty stop now and we have the means to react in very forcefully and it's called defending your sovereignty nothing more than that go ahead george though that's exactly right and that's why he. brought up the issue of the united states withdrawal from the

a.b.m. treaty but there's obviously more to it than that i mean there's also the nato expansion right to russia's borders and there is essentially now but the constant belligerent anti russian rhetoric now emanating from the western capitals and when you build up arms on russia's borders. and you start actually shooting at russians in syria and when you combine that with the russian hysteria in in washington in london in other capitals then you've got a very serious situation and i think you're absolutely right peter when you said that putin is not one to rhetorical flourishes he's not want to exaggerate to bloviate he's not donald trump so he has a very serious person and i think he was putting down a marker and say stop this now before it gets out of control because we mean

business exactly if you carry on like this it is going to end badly you know mary the over the years when they were before the negotiations with the iran nuclear deal the pentagon constantly was telling russia that all these in these anti-missile defense systems in poland and remain were many they have nothing to do with you it's all directed against iran and then when the deal is signed they actually admit to that well we still have to keep them there is it because of russia well yes because ok i mean this is the kind of relations and partnership russia has with nato you can't believe what they say ok or they talk out of both sides of the mouth at the same time with russia would putin did exactly what he promises has promised the russian people that a war will never be fought on this country soil ever again and he's making sure that happens go ahead mary. well i think that there is a perpetual problem between russia and nato as to who is on defense and who is on

oftens and who acted first and we saw this most graphically and most recently with ukraine but we've seen it all before with the expansion of nato and we've seen it since ukraine with the strengthening of the nato presence in the border states in the in the baltic states in poland where it said that this needs to happen as a reassuring defensive all nato is part because of what they see as the increased threat from russia and then of course you go to moscow and russia says well we've got all this sort of advance presence suddenly in the new countries of nato and we have to defend ourselves against that at which point nato starts talking about you remember the big or maybe not quite so big russian military exercise last summer which was completely hyped by nato spokesman and western ministers which turned out

to have been a fraction oh they were too and of course mary these things these exercises are player now and still in advance they were made public observers are allowed to come again this hype here i mean also daniel you know what also on top of it here you have lethal weapons being sold to the ukrainians if you look at the the pentagon's nuclear posture review it discusses the possibility of a first strike this is throwing away his entire history of arms control not only did they rip up the b.m. treaty they're actually even going further there is no interest in the west about a new start to intermediate weapons and they're no there's no talking about that ok again this is one of the reasons why putin said what he had to say go ahead then you. you know i think the the anti-ballistic missile batteries in poland and romania that you referenced earlier was also about enabling a western for

a strike prohibiting retaliation i think president putin said it many times before this is not about defense this is to enable offense but you mentioned earlier you know hysteria and i think the u.s. is is under such a cloud of mass hysteria but it's palpable you know this past week in italy there were elections where the non-mainstream parties did very very well and someone joked how soon until explained on russia well into today already hence just a day later played on russia by none other by samantha power by samantha power and here's here in italy are parties that were elected on an anti immigrant anti immigration policy why might it be concerned about immigration because samantha power herself was in favor of regime change in libya and syria and elsewhere that created the refugees so no matter what happens no matter the fact that power is behind this problem no it's all russia and that's what's happening.
