kevin we just heard nine pm here in moscow now they say wednesday evening thanks for watching out international so first the american now is a new top diplomat former cia director mike pompei was being sworn in as secretary of state a bit earlier in a ceremony at the state department that was attended by president trump. i must say that's more spirit than i've heard from the state department in a long time many years we can say many years maybe many decades it's going to be a fantastic start a fantastic day and that spirit will only be magnified only with this man right here i know that for a fact so brave new world it will be a quick revolving door well let's cross to washington our correspondent american

took us through the days of the summer well the ceremony took place at the state department with trump present in fact it was a president's first ever visit but a trump had nothing but praise for pomp aoa calling him a patriot with immense talent energy and intellect and arguably the most memorable moment from pompei a speech was when he vowed to help the united states get back its wagger let's take a look. i talked about getting back our swagger and i'll fill in what i mean by that but it's important the united states diplomatic corps needs to be in every corner every stretch of the world executing missions on behalf of this country and . pompei a speech was well received by everyone from the media to other officials and some didn't even wait to compare him to teller since saying that he was more open than tillerson ever was a pump a zero did however stress the concept of american exceptionalism which is generally considered controversial in some circles at least i talked in my my hearing

about the fact that this nation is so exceptional and so incredibly blessed this is a unique exceptional country russia is unique but not exceptional. but to remind our viewers it wasn't always smooth sailing for pompei o his nomination was initially met with fierce backlash from both ends of the spectrum mostly democrats but a few republicans here and there now are democrats specifically took issue with pompei as record of advocating for regime change and one republican believe it or not felt the exact same way but the speaking of his views on foreign policy let's check out what pompei had to say about north korea and iran prior to his nomination . i can't think of a thing that has put america in a better position as a result of this deal we're a year out from the agreement and every single action the iranians have taken has been bolder and starker than the ones they took before the agreement. a very real

danger. i hardly ever escape a day at the white house without the president asking me about north korea and how it is that the united states is responding to that threat it's very much at the top of his mind they are ever closer to having the capacity to hold america risk with a nuclear weapon. throughout this whole debate has stayed pretty busy over easter weekend he met with the d.p. r. k. s. leader marshal kim jong un but it might get a little bit more hectic now that now that things are getting more tense of iran it will be interesting to see how a pompei will handle. it given that he's pro israeli and pro saudi which could present somewhat of an issue when he's dealing with their mutual arch enemy so was have to see if this leads to any changes and more importantly if they're positive ones yeah exactly as you say a lot of the menus are urgently deal with the silicone our correspondent in

washington d.c. thanks very much mean time other use not the israeli prime minister appears to be intensifying efforts to convince donald trump to drop the iran nuclear deal but the minute you know claimed in a controversial presentation this last week the to run lied about its weapons program and has broken the agreement the allegations come just ten days before the us president will decide whether or not to walk away from it so they're trying to bamboozle the entire world and i am very glad that president trump was well enough of that we're not going to be good when we're not going to be taken for a ride we're going to have to do a serious serious change your to make sure that iran does not have nuclear weapons that means this deal was a terrible deal why give this speech in english and do it in such a big way well because i wanted the world to hear it all over while b.b. may claim he's trying to convince the world that really isn't true the only person he needs to convince is trump and given trump spots rhetoric that may not be so

difficult to do donald trump made it clear he didn't like the deal back in the days of his campaign and that yahoo's presentation more schuman ship than facts seemed to really with trump do not i'm here to tell you one thing. i think of anything what's happening today and what's happened over the last little while and what we've learned. has really shown that i've been one hundred percent right his presentation was largely in english and he went all out to prove that iran is developing nuclear weapons he presented thousands of documents c.d.'s as part of his powerpoint presentation except almost all of it was old some of the stuff be presented as an indisputable evidence dated to nine hundred ninety three almost nothing beyond two thousand and three experts said john brennan former cia

director said netanyahu showed nothing that indicated that iran had violated the nuclear deal and the international atomic agency agrees the agency had no credible indications of activities in iran relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device of the two thousand and nine the us the b.b.c. done said that this proves that iran quote has a robust plan this time nuclear weapons program a few hours later they changed it quietly to iran quote had a robust clandestine nuclear weapons program they blamed clerical error for that one nonetheless they say iran is still dishonest iran lied on the front end they were dishonest actors so far it's been entirely unconvincing experts buying it

u.s. officials skeptical pundits and convinced european allies urging trump to come to his senses and reconsider almost everyone else is too but benjamin netanyahu has his charms and he's done it before there is a question what's to it that's. and is working and is advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons no question whatsoever see how confident he was only an invasion and thousands of deaths later did we find out that b.b. had lied his charms never worked with the bomber they didn't get along all that well but they got along great with bush and it looks like it's working with trump great friends those two they've both claimed a quick potted history here that around nuclear deal was struck back in twenty fifteen at the time it was brokered by the us china britain russia france and

germany and hailed as a huge diplomatic success those negotiations took a long nine years exchange for some sanctions being lifted to run agreed to strict limits on its nuclear program and to open up its facilities to international experts because some comment from daniel mcadams of the wrong poland peace institute told us he believes the israeli leaders trying to manipulate the us president right now and indeed looking for confrontation with iran. netanyahu knows very well that he cannot take on iran on its own bibi is playing trump like a fiddle but look around trump is good all the same losers that were in power in two thousand and two who lied us into going into iraq or we're supposed to believe that somehow just a week or so before trump has to make his decision on iran that all of a sudden it come into this amazing information here let us rush to share with you this information telling you how evil they are it's all purity after it's just like it's ridiculous bomb thing at the un it's just

a desperate ploy to lie us into another war. says dealing with the fallout of what's been described as the worst may day violence in paris since one thousand nine hundred sixty eight on choose to over a thousand so-called black bloc anarchist turned up to a peaceful union organized protest against president the crimes labor reforms then they began clashing with police hurling smoke grenades and destroying cars and property officers arrested more than two hundred of them are standing capitalist activists half of them reportedly still in custody tonight with more on the unrest the grip the french capital his shiela do bensky. just come over here and you'll be able to see the bullets here of a fast food restaurant that is being put up that was completely and utterly destroyed yesterday restaurants further behind on the street will also destroyed and basically the police did very little in fact nothing for a long time when this destruction was happening it was only further on into the

demonstration of the violence took place at the little bit further on that they actually did something now they've said the reason that they didn't react this quickly is some people say they should have is because they were trying to avoid collateral damage there's also been criticism criticism over president he's currently only official tool of a strain some people saying the president shouldn't have left france when they was so much social and ease here he has hit back saying what did you expect me to do sit at home and watch it on t.v. but the violence by the black books as a say some of the worst that i've seen in paris take a look at what unfolded on may day in the middle of cashews now starting with the police i want to say we're looking very you'll see the tear gas is coming up to us the police move again i'm not because just behind us there is a fire going on the demonstrators have put fire to a vehicle and emerged a bike and as you can see that's. ok.

well as you might have gathered we've just been in the middle of what was quite a large clash between the police and the protesters just look behind me this is one of the trucks with the water cannons and you can see visioned on now coming down and you can see some of the water in the form that's been on the ground to try and push these protesters back take a look behind me and they're actually trying to barricade themselves up now that's off to they set fire to what looked like a g c p the fact it's still on fire over that. and the distance the process is did is if you just turn around a little bit more what can we have a look at this you may see this. coming up here on the protesters what they did is they lit a fire to what seemed to be some sort of motorbike and a car so. arty paris or so from up meantime it's not just the french

president's labor reforms that are got some people shaking their heads in disbelief there was a bit of a linguistic tongue tying episode to deal with to during a joint press conference with the astray in the prime minister emmanuel micron's english led to a rather embarrassing folks. but at the same cure for all of them sinking us your delicious wife for your warm welcome. your delicious wife for your warm welcome. democrats could be in for

a rough period of recent polls are going to go by the reuters news agency has revealed support for the party slumber but nine percent among young people these days are while it remains more popular than the republican party the g.o.p. does seem to be gaining ground caleb maupin is in new york for a skate in the extent to which the younger generations values really shifting. are young americans just less rebellious and more friendly to tradition and authority or is there a problem on the left side of the spectrum we decided to talk with some younger americans and find out shutting down conservative or right wing speakers on college campuses to identify with that shutting them down now i don't think we should completely shut them down and why agassi think everyone should have a voice and be able to speak on campuses we shouldn't close it seems to be to want to be open to anything i mean especially if there's a college setting that's a good as the last place we should be saying no to open ideas and discussion i don't think that's fair because everybody is entitled to their opinion we don't

have to agree with each other that doesn't necessarily mean we can have a civilized conversation facebook a different social media outlets saying a certain racial words are offensive and they'll still strike them down to take speech do you agree with that. no i don't. want again everybody has. the right to. talk on they want to talks because they want to speak it's a free country so why not share yeah they shouldn't send say things like i think that a lot worse things are happening in the world what about like getting rid of certain sports practices they say are offensive to women like ring girls in boxing or cheerleading. i would say leave the option for to something that exists and don't necessarily like promote it's as a thing we don't necessarily have to get rid of it i think we should just to just put more males into it there's somebody always willing to take the jobs years ago it was liberals that were calling for freedom of speech and challenging social

norms but these days we're increasingly seeing calls for censorship coming from the left so is it possible that younger americans simply don't want to comply with the rules being imposed by the liberal order are conservatives now the rebels able bop and r. t. new york. some commentators suggest that the democrats' preoccupation with political correctness could be one of the reasons for their waning support for the one recent instance schoolgirl found that even the choice of dress now as become an extremely sensitive issue for some people it was off to she post a picture of a traditional chinese problem outfit on social media.

chatter and causing so much negativity i mean no disrespect to chinese culture i'm simply sharing my appreciation to their culture i'm not deleting my posts because i've done nothing but show my clout for the culture or the way people dress to the way they talk about it as they speak about the democrat party over the last decade in america has been anything but the american people will have of the democratic party is that they focus on issues to create a mentality that that's the ruling dynamic of the democratic party they go out and seek people who feel what they kind of fanned the flames of the mentality convincing them that they have an oppressor and then they say we're here to rescue

. also in the world tonight tens of thousands of anti-government protesters in the former soviet republic of armenia have brought the capital yerevan to a grinding halt the activists were blocking roads after the in the city there after the parliament fused to accept the leader of the opposition they called him as the interim prime minister the day of mass action which follows weeks of unrest know the country is reportedly remain more or less peaceful though the turmoil initially began after ex-president says sarkozy who just finished serving the maximum two terms was appointed prime minister by his ruling party critics called the move unconstitutional and an attempt to cling to power there for a groundswell of public anger and the resulting mass rallies forced him to resign in the end the now be another attempt to elect the interim prime minister and try to break that political deadlock next week if no kind of success for the elections will be. thanks for watching out international with me kevin though in the hot seat

here tonight coming up the u.k. is looking to bolster its cyber defenses and step up the fight against the spread of this information quite how they plan to do that will tell you well after this break. perceives news and fake prices you end up with fake news. here when you manipulation of markets and there if you have interest rates at zero and you can borrow money at zero percent you have an unlimited credit line and you can muscle prices around it well that creates fake prices and then if you have robots report against a crisis on the financial media for stuff then the robots are going to report on the fake crisis driven by the fake news created by robots and you have a virtual or a not so virtual cycle of fake news and fake prices and then that people interpret that as reality.

mike and you case defense secretary is calling on journalists and i t specialists now to enlist in the armed forces in an attempt to try to tackle this information and online propaganda made the comments and yet published interview with the house politics magazine he goes down off takes a closer look. he is a rising star

a fireplace salesman turned defense secretary he is gavin williamson and he summons you my fellow british geek it's battlefield world wide web and the u.k. army is ready to charge at the enemy in this age where there's so much this information we're britain's enemies will use every angle they can do to change the narrative people who have traditionally thought about joining reserve forces we want them to come in but actually it's looking to different people whether it be journalists those people with amazing cyber nighty skills those people with the ability to really understand about getting messages across their worst nightmare is coming true with the enemy has infiltrated but your id skills are a game changer we are living in the era of fake news and competing narratives the government will respond with more and better use of national security communications to tackle these interconnected complex challenges. fake news and

adverse are you worthy of a call to arms from the military chief himself by his standards that's a pretty big deal to realize that it's enough to look at his voting record from the time when he was a conservative m.p. the investigation into the iraq war for instance was below the worthy attention bar for williamson in twenty sixteen he voted against an inquiry into the contrast between the public statements and private actions in the run up to the war human rights and equality i'm also not something worth fighting for according to williamson like when he voted against outlawing discrimination on the basis of cost you know the situation when you can be written off as scum for your whole life simply because you were born into the wrong family but what williamson voted consistently for though was foreign bombings smart surveillance and bulk data

collection we've come a long way from churchill's we shall fight them on the beaches to the point where we're going to fight them on twitter and we're going to fight them in facebook and the rest of social media so i think the very suggestion that this is a priority for our armed forces is is very disturbing if you're looking to journalists gently join up with the armed forces i find really peculiar and very strange as you say a journalist can do a perfectly good job discovering truth and exposing things that need to be exposed through the normal channels so why would they suddenly become pockets of if you like a particular aspect of government but of course with fake news being such a hot topic now at least we can be sure the british army will stay trendy at least while williamson is in charge. indeed right let's check out the football now that countdown continues of course the feed for world cup trophy is no arrived here and

. head of football's biggest event which kicks off right here in moscow in just six weeks just over six weeks time the most iconic prize in the sport spring to more than fifty countries in its long journey before finally arriving in the far east and russia's lot of all stock that trophy is now going to visit eight other cities here in russia i finished his trip in moscow also on tour across russia is artie's own a legend of the game former manchester united goalkeeper peter schmeichel xin saatchi died in the south for his latest report in most cities want to check that out great report on our site r.t. dot com. welcome sophisticated and welcome to such as. one of the really really cool things if you can literally be on the beach working

on you so inside forty minutes later you can feel kids still floating skeet whatever you find see how going to do in this. in the. past. couple of them go. so much more fun than speed. is. one of the big attractions in such it is of course the all to draw.

i got that was that was also a. really good get used to that. it's .

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going foundation let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. about the war hawks w on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that don't. produce offspring to tell you that what we gossip to the public by itself of the most important news today. off the bat doesn't tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along the border will walk on.
