five very good evening for me and it's just turned eleven pm here in moscow now this is r.t. international first the american now has a new secretary of state tonight former cia director mike pompei always been sworn in as the country's top diplomat in a ceremony at the state department 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 the ceremony took place at the state department with trump present in fact

it was the president's first ever visit but trump had nothing but praise for pompei a calling him a quote patriot with immense talent energy and into like an arguably the most memorable moment from pompei speech was when he vowed to help the united states get back its whacker. 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 pompei a speech was well received by everyone from the media to other officials some didn't even wait to compare of the tillerson saying that he was more open than tillerson ever was pump a i 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 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 and democrats specifically took issue with pompei as record of advocating for regime change and speaking of his views on foreign policy let's check out what pompei i 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 has a single act. and the iranians have taken has been bolder and starker than the ones they took before the agreement. a very real danger. by 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 pompei it stayed pretty busy over

easter weekend he met with the deep your case leader marshall kim jong un but it might get a little bit more hectic now that things are getting tense with iran it will be interesting to see how pompei all handle that one given that he's openly pro israeli and pro saudi which could present somewhat of an issue when he's dealing with their mutual arch enemy so what is have to see if this leads to any changes and more importantly if there are positive ones. meantime the israeli prime minister appears to be intensifying efforts to convince donald trump to drop the a run nuclear deal but you know in the young who claim to the controversial presentation this last week that to run its nuclear. weapons program a new front had broken the agreement he said the allegations come just ten days before the u.s. president said to decide whether or not to walk away from the landmark deal. they're trying to bamboozle the entire world in and i'm very glad that president trump has. enough of that we're not going to be hoodwinked we're not going to be

taken for a ride we're going to have to do a serious serious change or 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 all of it while bibi may claim he's trying to convince the world that really isn't true the only person he needs to convince ease 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 netanyahu is presentation more showmanship than facts seemed to really mesh with trump tonight 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 off 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 with the. and is working and is advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons no question what 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 recap potted history of the iran nuclear deal that was struck back in twenty fifteen broke at the time by the us china britain russia france and germany and of course hailed as a huge diplomatic success those negotiations to go along no i need is in exchange for some sanctions being lifted around agreed to strict limits on its nuclear program and to open up its facilities to international experts tell mcadams from the wrong paul pease institute told us he believes right now the israeli leaders trying to manipulate the us president and indeed is looking for a confrontation with the ramble. netanyahu knows very well that he cannot take on

iran on its own bibi is playing trump like a fiddle but look around trump has got 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 you really are it's all purity just like his ridiculous bomb thing at the u.n. it's just a desperate ploy to lie us into another war. france is dealing with the fallout of what's been described as the worst may day violence in paris since nineteen sixty eight on tuesday over a thousand so-called black bloc and a kiss turned up to a peaceful union organized protest against president across 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 scanty capitalist activists half of them reportedly still in custody tonight with more on the unrest that

gripped that french capital his charlotte do better ski than this come over here and you'll be able to see the bullets here of the fast food restaurants that have been put up that was completely and utterly destroyed yesterday restaurants further behind down the street were also destroyed and basically the police did very little in fact nothing for a long time when this instruction was happening it was only further on into the demonstration the violence took place at little bit further on that the actually did something now they've said the reason that they didn't react as quickly as some people say they should have is because they were trying to avoid collateral damage there's also been criticism criticism of president he's currently on the official tool of a stray here some people saying the president shouldn't have left france when there was so much social ease here he has hit back saying what did you it. to 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 for you'll see the tear gas is coming up to us the police move again and not because just behind us there is a fire going on the demonstrators have put for its use of recall and emergency bike and as you can see smoke. 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 the gendarme now coming down and you can see some of the water in the firm that's been on the ground to try and push these protesters back take a look behind me and are actually trying to barricades themselves up now that's off to they set fire to what looked like a g. c.p.d.

fact it's still own foyer over there in the distance the process is to it is if you just turn around a little bit more what we have a look at this you may see this big pulling me over dog smoke coming up here on the protesters what they did is they lit fire it's you what seem to be some sort of motorbike and the car show at the penske altie paris. yeah quite so hot there at times now meantime it's not just the french president's labor reforms or the got some people shaking their heads in disbelief there's a bit of a linguistic tongue toying to deal with two at one point during a joint news conference with the australian prime minister i know across english led to a bit of an embarrassing photo. but at the same cure for all of them sinking us your delicious wife for you one welcome. you and your delicious wife for your warm welcome for.

america's democrats could be in for a rough period if recent polls are nothing to go by the reuters news agencies revealed support for the party a slump by about nine percent of young people aged between eighteen and thirty four right now are while it remains still more popular with the age bracket than the republican party nonetheless the g.o.p. does seem to be gaining ground calum opens in new york for us gauging the extent to which the younger generations values are 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 i 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 and i mean especially the president college setting as a as a 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't have a civilized conversation facebook a different social media outlets saying a certain racial words are offensive and they'll still strike them down take speech do you agree with that. no i don't. and once again everybody has. their 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 censor things they have 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 forward 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. r t new york. or what else could be behind it will maybe this some commentators suggest that the democrats' preoccupation right now with political correctness could be one

of the reasons for their wedding support and one recent instant of schoolgirl found that even choice address has become an extremely sensitive issue for some people it was after she was posted with a picture of a traditional chinese promote fit on put it on social media check this out. of the. chatter and causing so much negativity i mean no disrespect to chinese culture i'm simply sharing my

appreciation for 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 if they speak about the democrat party over the last decade in america has been anything but the american will have of the democratic party is that they focus on issues to create a mentality that's that's the ruling dynamic of the democratic party they go out and see 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 going to rescue . tens of thousands of anti-government protesters in the former soviet republic of armenia brought the capital yerevan to a grinding halt on wednesday the activists blocked roads across the city after the parliament refused to accept the leader of the opposition in a corporation ghana's interim prime minister the day of mass action there which

followed weeks of unrest in the country reportedly remained largely peaceful the turmoil in our nation he began after the ex-president surge sarkozy on who'd just finished serving the maximum two terms as president was then appointed prime minister by as ruling party critics called that move unconstitutional and an attempt they said to cling to power the groundswell of public anger and resulting mass rallies then forced him to resign recently is now going to be another attempt to elect an interim prime minister and break the political deadlock next week if no candidate is successful elections are going to have to be held. thanks for watching out international with me kevin though in the hot seat tonight lot more coming clued in the u.k. now looking to bolster its cyber defenses and step up the fight against the spread of dissin from asian quote how they plan to do it we'll tell you in a bit detail after this break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and obviously he was a guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. price perceives news and so if you have fake prices you end up with a fake name selling here when you have manipulation of markets and there if you have 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 reporting on fake prices on the financial media as foreign stuff then the robots are going to report on the fake prices 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. palm oil is one of the most controversial products of all time it's a sobering vegetable fact that's very cheap. twenty seventeen production grew to sixty three million tonnes rabbit growth an international demand for cheap oil has led to the massive expansion of plantations which is the destruction of the rainforest. given to these you alone more than ten million hiked in as of unique rain forest has been destroyed but it's a process that just keeps going. again

exactly at twenty one minutes past eleven now in the evening mosco time so the u.k.'s defense secretary is calling on journalists an i.t. specialist to enlist in the armed forces now an attempt to try to tackle this information and online propaganda he made the comments in an as yet published interview with the house politics magazine and he goes down of 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 fake news in 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 it was for an bombing smart surveillance and bulk data collection we've come a long way from churchill's we shall fight them on the basis of weight 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 puppets of if you like a particular aspect of government but of course with fake news being such a hot topic now if least we can be sure. sure the british army will stay trendy at least while williamson is in charge. indeed or certainly real news next the fee for world cup trophies arrived here in russia out of football's biggest event which kicks off right here in moscow in just over six weeks time now the most iconic prize in the sport traveled already to more than fifty countries before arriving far east in russia's volleyball stop the trophies then set to visit eight other cities here in russia and finish the trip in moscow and also on tour across russia as artie's own legend of the game former manchester united goalkeeper peter schmeichel he's down south in sochi for his latest report on the host cities is a smaller version of it you can check out the full version at r.t. dot com.
