government was waiting for them the rebels started this he knew what was going on and shelled them they reportedly shelled the procession of civilians i mean a kilometer before they were out of east ghouta and then to top it all off they shelled the relatives and journalists waiting on the syrian side at the end of the corridor nothing's changed they aren't allowing civilians to leave just like the islam islam is brother and did in aleppo. and then. that started to. never stay here it wouldn't have a. vision you got to. look at. what they said about even any is it seems arsenal could have a good look at law yet here in washington tell it you don't mention that they think it's joke like russia has called for these jokes like humanitarian corridor wars

russia needs to just do what the united nations had agreed to and voted on and that is a countrywide ceasefire fleeing civilians would mean less human shields it would be a p.r. blue people don't want to stay with the rebels they'll talk say all sorts of horrible things about life and the jihad ists they'll challenge the narrative why let them leave too many problems take also rebel shelling of damascus blind aimless shells peppered damascus daily for years now so many dead and still dying still to die yet you won't see any hysteria about that in fact you won't hear much at all they won't admit that rebels are keeping people hostage because that justifies assad's operation as the die. rebel shelling so why mention it it

ruins the narrative it's so much simpler when it's all black and white most of the united states press is clearly on the side of the rebels they believe that assad is an evil person who is running an evil regime and they'd like to see it fall and therefore stories about the suffering of syrians and damascus because that rebel argument don't make much impression and occasionally they get through the stories but they are they're not. they're not people writing a story which is that this is a brutal regime that refuses to make compromise and it's leading to a very lopsided narrative well also on thursday dozens of other aid trucks were prevented from entering and going to do to the fighting on the ground there the u.n. convoy however was allowed into the area on monday but it had to leave amid heavy fighting even before knighting was complete the situation this remained dire and

civilians as we've seen have little chance of escaping. think of. i. think i. am. not that. this is extraordinarily. violent time it's been

a very bloody two months here the beginning of this year he does really held ground for the children it is very difficult there are. they are scared they are see death and violence at a scale that you would hope no child would see there is a lack of food and water it brings to see so many of the families are crowded into small spaces and basements you're watching international we're going to take a quick break and i will be back in two minutes. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the laws. they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to.

have to do like to be for us this is what the book for us free of all the people get. interested always in the waters of. their ship. hello again you with r.t. and i will say it is open to genuine requests for help regarding the investigation

into the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter in the u.k. this is the do this will this help is of interest to investigators be it regarding the poisoning of u.k. citizens gossip about meddling into the u.s. election or anything else if russia's assistance is indeed needed we are ready to consider that possibility one should not go on t.v. with accusations like this but instead use official channels including law enforcement the case broke last weekend when x. double agents again and his daughter were found on a bench in critical condition and the city of souls bury in england now he formerly worked as a double agent for the u.k. intelligence agency am i six and was jailed in russia back in two thousand and six for spying for britain he was a later released as part of a swap deal and when he was found poisoned most of the mainstream media was quick

to speculate that russia was somehow behind it bad things have been known to happen to russians who cross vladimir putin the fact that a nerve agent was use strengthens the likelihood that this was a state sponsor of some sort and russia is the chief suspect of course the u.k. has turned a blind eye to assassinations on its. oil and has instead tried to protect the kremlin now we've heard accusations before during the investigation into the death of the former k.g.b. agent alexander litvinenko who was also poisoned in the u.k. over a decade to go and following years of investigation no hard evidence of russia's involvement was presented to by the british investigators and now in this case in the case of poisoning of said gates create private russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov is saying that no real facts have been presented so russia's involvement and his schooling all risks and media accusations hysterical most of it. being accuse

not only of this our western partners accuse us of basically everything that's going wrong on this planet it's not serious it's just blatant propaganda and hysteria the u.k. home secretary is also calling for average one not to jump to conclusions but to wait for the official results of the investigation so far twenty one people including the former double agent and his daughter were exposed to what turned out to be a nerve agent now the investigators refused to reveal what specific poison it was and while mr script will and his daughter remain to be in critical condition the police has cordoned off his home as well as the graves of his wife and son who died and the past five years says they believe that these locations can provide further details in the investigation. donald trump has caught many off guard agreeing to

meet the north korean leader only recently the two were engaged in the business twist a spat over who had the biggest nuclear button. reports to hurt the m.-l. summit and now we have confirmation from the white house that yes a meeting will take place between kim jong un and u.s. president don. trump now this would be the first meeting between the head of state of the united states and the government of north korea their head of state this is quite a surprise to many people we've heard secretary of state rex tillerson who recently said that the usa was a long way away from any negotiations with north korea i don't know yet until we are able to be ourselves placed to face with. representatives of the world. whether it conditions are right you can be doing if you about negotiations it's arms or direct talks with the united states and u.s. negotiate sions or world always for me goes to asians and furthermore we've seen

that the united states recently impose new sanctions on the country now there's also been quite a heated exchange and war of words between the two leaders in recent months the. year of strategic patience. with the north korean regime has failed. her. and not make anyone ready to say. they will be met with fire and fury. the u.s. neglects the international community's will to stop this b.s. on the korean peninsula. and we can have a madman out there shooting rockets all over the place you have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. russia. is on

a suicide mission for himself no one. is on a suicide mission. he's a sick puppy. double trouble is said that the sanctions recently placed on north korea will remain in place until any agreement is reached and pointed out that in the lead up to the meeting north korea has agreed to freeze any ballistic missile testing any nuclear testing or proliferation so at this point there seems to be a free is in north korea in anticipation of a meeting now we understood that this meeting will take place before may and the location and time are yet to be announced. ok let's discuss the developments now with dr chris holden he's a senior lecturer in asian security case in town d.c.

universe the good even to you chris quite a development here isn't there considering that the two countries were at each other's throat throughout twenty seventeen why do you think we've seen this sudden change start recording precedents and i think there's precious little news crew i mean some sort of assumptions and some sports are. a little surgery to remove some frustration multiply and some kind of a solution. the rules are assuming on board so maybe that's the but. do you think trumps sort of hardline approach to this problem if you want to call it that has worked or do you think there are other elements swirling around in the background that contributed to this meeting. i think so tell but at the same time we've also seen that he's highly unpredictable we can never know exactly what he really thinks is it guaranteed or he thinks something that's uncertain is a fact i think the biggest thing to think about here is is where the meeting will

take place and certainly the moment seems as though it's a propaganda coup for the north koreans rather than the americans and certainly in the part number of sorts of north koreans at this because it makes them look like equal partners and that's what the north koreans want much want they want shows that people now understands that makes america look worse off something or so what do you think america believes it will get from this then if they're saying ok to go through with it well i'm also one of the americans traditionally has been removed nuclear weapons from the korean peninsula ensure stability i think also this is maybe not misuse if you donald trump in his own mindsets of think he's the deal maker who can make a solution he can find some way through this impasse and in a sense this is the biggest stage for him there are dangers there obviously those kind of diplomacy is there but i think that that's the driving force and what are your expectations and of this meeting if it does take place we're told it i think

to happen before may but what would you expect to happen. no source well let's see what happens second of all it does happen if the americans truly want the north koreans to get rid of their nuclear weapons the north koreans and on the american military could leave the peninsula and try to unify the peninsula but it's a very very big. and very big of the month so i think probably the best thing that could happen is likely to happen is that one meets so through some kind of recall they can agree that maybe there should be less belligerent against each other and maybe this can downplay the threat which will help global stability and regional stability but i think in terms of some run bargain it's unlikely so in summary do you believe we might see less military exercises joint ones between south korea and the u.s. and perhaps then in return north korea would be less ballistic missile tests or nuclear weapons tests that's the sort of scenario you'd see i think so i think

that's what the north koreans would demand they would so drop the sanctions. also drop your military lose and we want a weapon in the short term and then let's see what else ok chris look good to talk to you thanks for coming on that was dr chris ogden there sonia lecturer in asian security since andrey she university thank you. so google is facing a backlash from its own employees over its partnership with the u.s. department of defense the company is cooperating with the pentagon over a military drone project called maven developing artificial intelligence to analyze drone video data and its defended its involvement. the technology flags images of human review and it's a non-offensive uses only military use of machine learning naturally raises valid concerns we are actively discussing this important topic internally and with others as we continue to develop policies and safeguards around the development and the

use of our machine learning technologies the u.s. military does make extensive use of drones according to the bureau of investigative journalism since two thousand and four almost five thousand drone strikes have been confirmed and it's thought these have killed around a thousand civilians at the end of last year google's then executive chairman expressed fears the military was exploiting the technology to kill there's a general concern in that technically enemy. if somehow the military industrial complex using their stuff to kill people incorrectly if you will the way well one of google's mottoes in the past has been don't be evil a former cia whistleblower told us why the company is finding it hard to stick to its principles. you know this is the dirty little secret of corporate america and that is that practically every major corporation no matter what sector it's in is cooperating in some way with either the defense department or the intelligence

community let's say you're the c.e.o. of a company and the department of defense comes to you and says we want you to help us do x. y. and z. and you say no i can't because our slogan is don't do evil they say your country needs you and because you're a patriot you have to help your country and believe it or not that's a very convincing argument and ninety nine companies out of one hundred will do what's asked for them so that brings you up to date that's high things that i can say that i hear not say more from us in about half of. the you global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education being supplanted by the right to access education alone higher education is becoming just another product that can be bought and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you know most of the regime you can look at this also kind of

finally could i mean. want is the place of students in this business model for college i was born now i'm running stream or higher education for the new global economic war. level blog selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battles that will. produce talk to try to tell you that because of the public eye fell. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough by product. of the hawks that we along the gulf will want. the legacy of the communist era has left i'm assuming a lot of of the legacy waste as well am assuming again from my understanding of the

soviet era that there was much more of a culture of our reuse and not throwing things away that i think a society that emerged out of that tends to reject so it's a matter of moving back to that. in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than for knox swiss customs are here permanently all the site is controlled by them and they imposed the opening time store opposite it is from his office the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe masterpieces by artists like pecan so and modigliani kept boards and sold inside this warehouse that's where the report comes in it covers up deals with jar naturally discreet

commercially discreet strip but also discreet because they concern fraud of some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the geneva freeport system you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the art business. this photograph is gone viral it's a striking illustration of moral strength and fortitude kid you can see the students of rwanda's one and only classical ballet school. shop contrast to the country's brutal history and nine hundred ninety form about one million people were killed in rwanda just one hundred. soon said by the neighborhoods.

in. rwanda some of the trauma of murder and brutal violence of into tribal conflict today just over two decades own the nation has recovered to the point of becoming one of africa's most peaceful countries children are now attending ballet classes. it was an energy. i'm for to

know which means i've been doing better where it's serious. it was a lady called caroline she was a teacher. teacher and she opened her own school so she continued in two years ago i think. and then she went back to the u.s. and then. the third all of those are series is produced in your own it's not positive on kids so she took. the company and that distributes it just for how those are i'm for the proposition of having it but it's putting. when i was really young clay used to start by leo like in time a ten way he came fencing so in only picture or like this already this is

something like nobody use. it you could be interested loop and it's entirely at least he. has five minutes. sooner it's a little. even. though he believes. action to most challenge is to find teachers because we. we really don't have a professional but it teacher in one though and it's just normal because it's not part of our god sure and so we really were lying for i know many people coming from western countries so we cannot see this school cannot afford to find a professional teacher and bring the person in one and they just responsive for us

so we rely on people like we'd be there for following husband then from time to time she can come and teach. this quarter was an hour. in the business i mean by let's. get the miniature prophet you want you can. just of meat. which no impression on our national. morning rick. probably. you just thought. of these.

you much the last thing you know. coming from a marketing your boss to see in your video if you're right if you and it's also not . in there isn't. going to reassure the. only. money focused me to the new you still need new needs to shift to a new system to do some of the best of your sort of pushes through additional produce goods i was. wishing google. on when you called. the numbers here. tomorrow which sums numerous. we

arrived last year it was with my family my husband is working for the european union. i have five children so for three girls in the village school and. i see so i was totally surprised because when i told everybody out we are going to run that so everybody take care of you know like wow i did start then there is this contrary what are you going to doing wrong. in a pool and you know two for virtually all western missions including peacekeeping ones evacuated people from rwanda. later during a visit to the country the us. as president bill clinton said on c.n.n. i don't think we could have ended the violence but i think we could have cut it down and are aggressive. in nine hundred ninety four a conflict between two rwandan ethnic groups not much different from each other

suddenly erupted. just to see neighbors. this was slaughtered daily. and you know. what your house i mean. this is what you want to call got you know say look you're young well it would have been one way flight school but it was i wish you have a profound bible study young muslim that's why you don't kabul but feel. that you know what i know what i want to learn a little bit. about the country and about what i'm going to do you know must meet you know what i mean. you know where we should be what about like what you know what you want to know about what would you want to talk about what a bunch of years you're. lonely because i.

was a military hospital. unless you wanted to live to. let you come out about who but we didn't have you know we're going. to. trust i'm glad the truth. well i'm going to try. to go on the way up poorly i guess i would say i wouldn't bet on the much fun but you know this in the coming from the mechanic there i'm very. close to letting the who reach out on that is. charlie crist. but that doesn't. work. since he would question really poorly.

it was like man this was similar to what. you are. michel going to go always said by your question michel i work as an analogy was you might tell me what that fun is. how do you know that's another rumor i would really be in and i got a piece of your you know how you just admitted to me i would join it if you very quickly please the woman you don't know i'm going to vote on the most intimate relationship with the police on the pardon it's meaningless. in the legal. this is very. close to the first time i was there that i measured it i was going no one will know how i'm not highly common. i don't usually brown but we didn't want to somehow coming up with a steady chef we did have. something with such

a complex vision of how much i wanted to conduct at home but if it's not coming back up because i don't know who we're going to need to do one call i'm asked and that we're going to ration out what we do is the. imaginings if you're going to interrupt us is that is that. what happened i think i don't really know that much but twenty three years ago. there were two charts hutus and tutsis the genocide was against since. a lot of people got cobra like my dad's family his parents and his ninth mainstream things they all died in the genocide but he was important to the.
