laws the use of equipment that could cause permanent blindness this is china's only overseas military base located in the african country of djibouti just a few kilometers away from a very strategic u.s. military base now you can bet with two key military setups so close together the two geo political rivals are looking for any possible secret info they can get from each other they've even admitted as much we have taken we are taking significant steps on the counter-intelligence side so that we have all the defenses that we need there's no doubt about that that's general wald house or the top commander of u.s. military forces in africa now the u.s. military is all over the continent engaging in anti terror operations flying drones propping up aligned governments but while the houser admits that china is doing something in africa that the usa is not doing very well investing look we'll never outspend the chinese on the continent and that's i guess the point i was trying to make china has been an effort on the african continent for quite some time but we

as a combatant command have not dealt with it in terms of a strategic interest and we're in the we're taking baby steps in that regard africa as part of china's one belt one road initiative a twenty first century silk road of sorts enabling countries to trade with each other china has set up a t.v. project for rural africans they've built all kinds of railroad and sharing economic access to remote parts of the continent and among english speaking africans what country do they want to study in the u.s. or the u.k. nope it's the people's republic of china yes the usa certainly has the upper hand in africa want to comes to flying drones or deploying troops when it comes to something else winning the trust and friendship of the african people china is way far ahead hey look up and r.t. new york. a special day in the russian calendar is fast approaching as the country prepares to celebrate a victory day on may ninth on sea joins present day forces in russia for the

rehearsals of the annual military parade it's not the end of world war two it was done of reports. live and still in the fields legitimately pick the right thing but everything yet they are trying to make it really special lead. and these being close to my business minutes with a parade is nothing like any of that before these nominees personnel carriers let me go in for the first sign that we are going to write one of the lead.

just makes the. seemingly simple maneuvers like this one still a little bit simple one good dozens of vehicles and ultimately you'll be saying that's why most of those made me feel all of these beasts to find them a new. this a.p.c. is designed to absorb explosive damage from landmines and it will deflect even obviously rounds now it's not the only vehicle to be making the first show at this year's parade so let me give you a chill. these unmanned drones will be shown to the public officials who would have those time at the parade they were initially being designed as a purely reconnaissance aircraft but now they can carry bombs to. elicit

missiles have become in the. part of any victory day parade in moscow and this one is no exception. and finally how about this terminate his on the red square no this is not a plot over you hollywood blockbuster but rather this tank support unit it will also be for the first time featured a parade on the red square so now this is of course is just to me it is a story what do you expect the actual parade to do she will be on the ninth of may and have a look at the cells what these guys are prepared. washington's relations with pakistan have taken a downturn after it was believed the u.s. had reached an agreement for the release of a doctor who helped the cia track a son of bin laden however he remains in prison and islamabad ses no such deal

exists artie's american can tell us more. the pakistani doctor who helped the cia track down and kill the world's most wanted terrorist osama bin ladin is still in prison two years after this promise from donald trump do you think you can get the darker out yes i do i think i would get him out in two minutes i would tell them let him out and i'm sure they'd let him out in may two thousand and twelve shaquille afridi was sentenced to thirty three years behind bars. jobs in. two thousand and eleven for being money to the militants of that discourage them and he was assisting in medical

term that he was making some arrangements for their meeting in is a hospital i met him in two thousand in june and he said that i am innocent and the charges they are totally illegal but last week his family were given a glimmer of hope there are reports that a possible deal to secure his release after he was apparently moved to a secure location because of threats to his life but according to the pakistani foreign ministry none of that's true i'm not aware of the new deal regarding dock to secure a pretty one but have the ministry of foreign affairs i can assure you that he's not being handed over to the u.s. it's an issue that u.s. officials often bring up but given the frosty relationship between washington and islamabad over counterterrorism and other disputes there's still no sign of a resolution for shaquille afridi but we spoke to the editor of defense and foreign

affairs magazine gregory talk play he thinks that dr shaquille a free day is a victim of the cia's misleading time takes. the cia itself rather than the us government is the one which is most embarrassment and various by the imprisonment of dr afridi because literally dr afridi is a victim of the of the reality that the cia absolutely misled the pakistan into services intelligence in the hunt for bin laden they told the i.s.i. one thing because they didn't trust the i.s.i. and then went about literally embarrassing i.s.i. by securing a different path to finding. some of bin laden as a result the pakistani government was quite justifiably offended by this lack of trust between now and that the cia had done this without involving the site and it all came out of fame with the hole in his shoe at george w.

bush plans to start his political career and got that story and plenty more after this short break. it's. a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all but there was one more question by the way it's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and a huge amount of pressure come up you have to go meet the center of the beach but probably it will. go over great great if you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. alone and doesn't want to you know and i'm really happy to join our team for the two thousand and ten world cup in russia meet this special one i was also appreciate me to just say to review the our team's latest edition to make up

a bigger need to just say look. welcome back to the u.k. police monitoring group has forced the british authorities to win lease its counterterrorism training materials off the years of court boncelles the document reveals that anti fracking activists considered extremists much like radical islamists own neo nazis and they say they are treated accordingly. you know i don't. think that's the scariest unbelievable he believes.

that. the police have been involved in dragging disabled people out of wheelchairs on the public highway over salting people understanding boy and watching private security companies employed by the fracking companies come out of this site on to the public highway and. punching people in the face putting people in to sleep or hold positions all kinds of. have happened. lauren forces and ambulance staff say however that the activists are feigning injury for the cameras and making false claims over police brutality here's why those activists the reason to fight against fracking fracking is

a matter of gas extraction where a high pressure mixture of water and chemicals is pumped into rock to release gas is considered by many environmentalists groups to be dangerous as the chemicals used in the process could contaminate both the soil and groundwater there have also been claims of fracking induced earthquakes and tremors all those fighting for the extraction method to be banned are categorized as domestic extremists that's how they're included in the framework of the british counterterrorism program known as prevent and protesters are being monitored by anti terror agencies one case that caused outrage involved three police officers dragging a disabled and elderly protester across the road she was taken by her shoulders and pulled along with her heels scraping across the ground unpowered who's a green party member and anti fracking campaigner gave her account of the ordeal to

r.t. earlier. i don't think they did consider me a threat i was simply a nuisance. they were wanting a big lorry to enter the sites and i was in the way. i'm obviously elderly person fairly frail now i wasn't a big difficulty of to them six policemen could've handled stream well three policemen i think it was handled me quite easily there's no difficulty to them so i couldn't do a stretch did anyone officially apologize to you following that incident. oh no no there's never been any apology i've never heard any official communication about it. speaking on world press freedom day the u.s. state department spokeswoman highlighted journalists who lost their lives while

working but seemingly ignored palestinians covering the protests on the gaza border and it raised a few questions we urge accountability for the murder of journalists in malta mexico russia and slovakia and the apparent assassination of a b.b.c. passionate reporter in afghanistan on monday would you also condemn the recent deaths of journalists and also in the gaza strip i don't have and i don't have all the details of the investigation but i will say you know we always are saddened by the loss of life and that israel does have a right to defend itself. well last month two palestinian journalists were killed by israeli defense forces while reporting on protests in gaza both were reportedly shorts with a live ammunition while wearing vests and helmets identifying them as members of the press the u.s. state department says the incidents in gaza should be investigated by israel however washington has taken a very different approach on the recent test a geisha into the alleged chemical attack in syria when the u.s.

launched as strikes on the country before in any official probe had taken place journalist dave lindorff believes the u.s. is acting with double standards. the united states is really using doubletalk here the they know that the israelis targeted these journalists they were wearing press written across both sides front and back they were reporting on a peaceful protest and the shooting of unarmed citizens and the israelis didn't want the reports out so they killed the poor of the reporters it was not self-defense of israel these killings of palestinian journalists was deliberate and the u.s. won't condemn it it's a total double standard. in iraq a man who became famous for throwing his shoe at the new u.s. president george w. bush bush is about to embark on a political career off his own muntadhar as id is running for iraq in palm into

next week's election having returned to his country two months ago and is a decade on since former president bush touted the u.s. invasion of iraq to crowds in baghdad. when tata was a t.v. journalist at the time after his stunts he was arrested and convicted for assault on a foreign leader he was sentenced to three years in prison but released after nine months the idea then moved to lebanon and set up a humanitarian organization to help iraqi war victims for his stunted became a hero for many iraqis that coincidentally so did his shoe after separate separation from its own aid quickly became a symbol of protest for his release from jail the company making the show even renamed the model as by by bush and it was briefly honored with the bronze statue

at an iraqi orphanage but we spoke to muntadhar al zaidi about the incident and his political ambitions. our coverage about what i think should what happened was this i was arrested along with my brother we were left in solitary confinement for three days we were only released after i went on a hunger strike without water for three days i told them i'd rather die than stay in prison they broke my teeth my nose my leg electrocuted me whipped me even broke a table or a chair over my back i don't know as i was blindfolded but this was something i've never experienced before obama for torture by the authorities by the rule of law. what the bottom line i thought i had to change the miserable state of affairs in iraq i did not consult anyone it was

a personal decision that i took off the long deliberation the george bush incident is in the past and it's history now history remember that when the americans invaded iraq and some iraqis are on their side why then but others beat them with shoes but i did not and will not exploit this incident with the people who have been putting up posters on the street showing me throwing a shoe it george bush that most of these have been taken down and i reject it because this is not part of my campaign. so it's not stories by following us on social media other back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines i'll see that. no one else seems wrong but. just don't call. me.

yet to say proud just be active. and engaged with equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education being supplanted by the right to access education. higher education is becoming just another product that can be pulled and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you're good at the. kind of good to me. what is the place of students in this business model. now in.

higher education the global economic war. is one of the most controversial products of our time it's a solid vegetable fat and it's very cheap because it can't be completely absorbed by. lead to metabolic disorders and risks causing diabetes hypertensive diseases and cancers conditions even so production has still beating creased in twenty seventeen peaks at sixty three million tons twenty times more than the amount of all if oil produced that rapid growth in international demand for cheap oil has led

to the massive expansion of. which means the destruction of rain forest. in indonesia alone. more than ten million unique rain forest have been destroyed and it's a process the just keeps going. so . so. so so. so.
