but the trip was. a russian company charged as part of a trump russia collusion investigation pleads not guilty in court amid prosecutors efforts to didn't let you take a. iraq goes to the polls in parliamentary elections but the boat has raised concern in the washington as none of the candidates about its policy of countering a wrong. a top u.s. state department expert on nuclear proliferation resigns in the wake of troubles withdrawal from the a wrong that needs to be a deal rejecting the agreement has come under fire in america and in europe. and sweden comes under public pressure for a new study into the link between immigration and crime despite fears it could

exacerbate tensions between local and newcomers. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me mickey aaron our top story this hour nearly a year old and since the start of the special counsel investigation into donald trump's alleged links to russia u.s. vice president mike pence faces time to bring it to a close. ministrations provided over a million documents we fully cooperated and in the interest of the country i think it's time to wrap it up it comes ahead of the first hearing in a criminal case brought by the special counsel against thirteen russian individuals and three entities they were accused of conspiracy to interfere in the us presidential race it was thought all of them were unlikely to ever appear in court but after one company decided to defend itself it turns out what ms team wasn't

quite prepared for it as jacqueline vehicle explains. february saw the first real result of miller's investigation finally the russians were being called out directly three companies and thirteen individuals were named and shamed the massive indictment in the robert mueller investigation breaking today of thirteen russian special counsel robert most investigation lower indicted the russians thirteen russians not only operating overseas for operating right here in the united states but given that those targeted are russian nationals with no worries about extradition to the u.s. no one expected the matter to go any further than media headlines but one company named in the indictment concord management and consulting seemingly cold dollars bluff by hiring d.c. attorneys who showed up for the arraignment the plea of not guilty or not you think muller's office would be happy to finally have their day in court but no they tried to put off the hearing on the grounds that the defendant hadn't been properly served which is amazing as being served is just

a way of getting the opposing party to show up to court but given that lawyers for concord have done exactly that the judge ruled against that argument it seems borderline immoral to indict someone unless you can prove he's guilty of the crime they did it for one reason only mother needed russian like dressing on a salad to make his investigation look good the defense attorneys also demanded massive amounts of documents related to the probe things that hadn't been made public and there's no way miller's doing that just think about it turning over classified information to the people representing a supposedly kremlin linked company court investigators from miller's office that they would have been thrilled to see all of the defendants show up like that was never going to happen and went on to ask if the attorneys represented a catering company listed in the indictment as well the aim of which was lost even on the judge. would you like me to do with status hearing on the case is scheduled for may sixteenth and will likely know by then if everyone is ready to put all

their chips on the table. america's ante russia's sanctions appear to have become somewhat of a trend in its foreign policy but the latest round of penalties on driving from officials around the bend. thanks. thanks . thanks. thanks thanks.

a top u.s. state department expert on nuclear proliferation has resigned following donald trump's decision to pull out of the nuclear deal with iran he didn't give a specific reason but made it clear that he still be a chord as a success and thought it was working many european leaders say they were taken aback by trump's decision though is probably boyko explains they might have seen it coming. our u.s. president risking chaos in the middle east and in case you missed it people are surprised. don't you campaign by saying that he'd pull out of the nuclear deal with iran but now that he's actually followed through with an election promise he's caught everyone off god for some reason the world is shocked and outraged is it don't read us that says it's bed time sprinkling fairly

dull stool over the middle east and north stirring up storms of their own just to we could do a go around was being put forward to the nobel peace prize for insulting north korea into talks and new self respecting republican president was that when his c.v. so twelve years of torture is diplomacy the wells which powerful nations a level of complexity rarely seen in global of governments came in when but the negotiations pressed on relentless terms of you have the alarm on the deal was you are horrible on the plus side you didn't say very very horrible which in trump well they're more or less a compliment saying that there is wiggle room off the roll the orange one said while tearing off the iran deal that it didn't bring calm it didn't bring peace there and it never will he did not want to read baseball cap when he runs for a second term because one of the message a u.s. president can sell standing when i am the egg on my face is you're

a big reader is prone. to and i was and spent a lot of political capital trying to keep the deal priced at least one of them kissed him in the end they learned a vital diplomatic unless the kid as many cheeks as you like but the u.s. is going to do what it down well please the europeans and russia and china say they are dedicated to keeping the middle east nuclear free apart from. you know if. everyone took the news of trucks with drool in their words. comfortably familiar way the europeans are sternly worded statement and iran burns an american flag in it. and israel bombed the area so perhaps it is reassuring that nothing really ever changes. america's european allies say translated decision risk found a mining international order and the west's moral authority. this list i think it's

not right to unilaterally cancel a deal that was agreed upon that was unanimously approved in the un security council that diminishes come from international. it is never good for us to break the laws that we ourselves helped to create why because how can you convince powers that occasionally use force or violence but don't respect international law to follow our example when we don't even follow that example ourselves it seems that today screaming and shouting insulting bullying systematically destroying and dismantling everything is already in place is the mode of our times. the former deputy coordinator for the iran nuclear deal with implementation believes troubles decision shows disregard for europe the full interview will be available this sunday all artes worlds apart but here's a quick preview for you. after all the bone to me of the macro meeting after the

supposedly improved atmosphere in the merkel meeting and then he actually treated his intention to make this announcement and sort of telegraphed where it was going while foreign secretary voice johnson was actually in washington trying to convince vice president pence and secretary of state to continue the negotiations that whether or not he was intending to be rude whether he was trying to send a message this clearly isn't the way allies behave towards one another i think you see the united states disregarding the needs and interests of its allies and europe and other allies are going to have to look at this and decide how to respond in order to protect their own concerns president trump is trying to tear down the accomplishments of his predecessor i think it's pretty clear from his public remarks that he does not understand what was in the g. c.p.u. a or what is in the g. c.p.o. a it also does undermine the position of the united states in the world we are demonstrating that we cannot take yes for an answer and that makes it very very

difficult to make credible deals with the united states. polls open in iraq for the first parliamentary elections things that to face of islamic state in the country it's a landmark moment not only for the iraqi people but for other countries too concerned by who will hold power there now i gather you have takes a closer look depending on whose side you are on these elections can make or break the middle east not because of oil nor riches who that helps neither is it ideology or jihad ists these is all about friends. first of three leading candidates hi the. current prime minister the best

word to describe him is neutral syria stay out of it iran vs america stay out of it yemen stay out he would be buying into iran but neither will he be a poor in america's efforts to isolate iran. candid that number two nobody. former prime minister he makes no attempt to hide his affinity for iran imagine if he gave iran bases in iraq allowed troops and tanks to move from iran to syria the israelis the saudis they will include like that one bit. candidates number three trumps nightmare. meeting this guy who's an iraqi himself fooled on the side of iran during the iran iraq war enough said

i believe the american administration could be the biggest loser from iraqi election we have three camps fighting to win this election i mean it can only have one strong ally which is that i love about the always i'm not there and he's trying to keep that alliance with the united states but whether he is going to win this election i have my own doubts i think that it's that i'll have the group that i'll give you are very close to the indian and gating a lot of support but i'm not here so i believe they have. until now so you see the problem here one guy doesn't want to get involved in anything one guy is all buddy buddy with iran and the last is so poor raney and he'll fight you quite literally and even with the weight steeped in its favor america says iran is cheating.

worrisome evidence that iran is trying to influence using mom the iraqi elections that money is being used to sway candidates to sway votes it's not an insignificant amount of money we believe and we think it's highly and hopefully it's bad so bad. that western states are sending and bassett is to trying to empower an iraqi cleric who's supporters had been killing american troops back in the dimes of the us intervention he even warned two years ago that americans are a target all forgiven and forgotten you see he doesn't like iran any day that iran's military general kassim silliman he looks at the t.v. and is unhappy is a good day for security in the region and looking at. those meetings in saudi arabia will make you very unhappy it all depends on who is your on america

lost thousands of men in iraq spent a trillion dollars on the war there and to watch it all go to iran that would hurt. sweden as bowing to public pressure for a study into the link between increasing migration and crime levels however stock home is still uncertain about publishing data they could reveal links between the two due to the current political climate it can now be noted that the demand in the social debate on obviated information on the relationship between crimes on the one hand and descent and migration on the other hand is so strong that the also needs to consider the possibilities again. the last study in sweden on migrants and crime was completed over a decade ago back in two thousand and five the country's police have also begun leaving out the nationality of criminals in official reports the purse for this

latest study comes after around sixty one places in sweden were dubbed no go zones due to the volume of criminal activity it's believed around five thousand known criminals live in those areas. we. will need to make as clear a shift in direction we cannot continue in this direction ten more years society needs to do more we need to do more we need to focus on the serious side of. the earth. well and

a farmer early discuss the story with a member of sweden's democrats party who highlighted that his country hasn't been honest enough over the impact of immigration immigrants from these countries to create havoc all around europe you know it's needs you know you need to start this is sweden the media they need to stop you're protecting them or denying the problems were with immigration with the information received them from this how can it be used productively to solve the problem. well i think that once people realize and one once they dare to admit it's you know the causes and the problems from specially some kind of immigrant groups then it's much easier in any division arguments to stop immigration from these countries because in the end our responsibility is to our citizens and i'm quite sure that you know this survey will

be yet another one that will show how the media and the left wing liberals have lied for thirty forty years and about immigration can also say that many people in sweden commit sex crimes take but we don't make an issue of their origin. yeah there are of course swedish people who commit six riser crimes in general but the thing is when you have an immigration you need to know how does that immigration affect your country it's better enough if a swede rapes someone that's bad enough we don't need to import more rapes seem to be country will back off the shop like.

some officials do not. fully understand or do not fully accept the principle of football being beyond politics that's a fundamental principle of the one football. for granted some people may have opinions but it's their own opinions and doesn't influence opinions of many other football fans who are buying tickets every day in large volumes.

welcome back now canada's conservative house later candy's bergen wants to know what all of bars has are doing about at least sixty four myself fighters who have returned to canada it comes after one of them confessed to carrying out executions in syria and a new york times podcast. this individual described how he executed individuals by shooting them in the back of the head he said that the people he was shooting deserved it and he said i know i won't be held accountable he said at least twice before my eyes to find the who goes by the name of abu who's the e-file confessed to taking part in execution style murders of sonny and muslim men he said he decided to leave syria after the second time pick killed a person he left canada in twenty fourteen to join the extremist group when he was seventeen years ifa now lives in toronto as canadian house members were told to their surprise this guy is apparently trying to kill

a chance to serve more answers from this government actually wired to doing something. well kind of his public safety minister refused to provide details on the status of the excise or fighter however he insists that canadians are safe and that security agencies are doing their job and the sandra bruno contributor to geo political monitor dot com thinks western governments policy toward syria has encouraged people to join extremist groups there. many western governments have taken a very ambiguous line at best. so you france united states great britain have to get the red line in one time and i think the syrian regime making it seem like it was ok to go and fight for isis given that you were fighting the evil regime of sirte so definitely there should not be surprised of blowback but at least sixty

such side it will come back from fighting in syria rather than putting soldiers in jail and the sort of deep breached after this story and has come out in parliament particularly people conservatives it has to do in certain provinces don't like trudeau will definitely make. this into a bigger story and i'm sure that true door will probably hear a price or have to explain before the next election. the u.s. is changing course on relations with north korea as america's top diplomat has suddenly extended an offer of economic help to pyongyang this is part of a deal which would see the korean regime give up its nuclear ambitions north korea takes balls action to quickly denuclearize the united states is prepared to work with north korea to achieve prosperity on the par with our south korean friends we've marks a drastic change in dealing with north korea washington has implemented around four

hundred fifty trade penalties against the country since two thousand and five with nearly half of those have come in the last year and sanctions on the only tactic the u.s. has used to apply pressure. only the strongest sanctions will enable us to resolve this problem through diplomacy. you know if north korea continues its dangerous path we will continue with further pressure that's called the military option the choice is think we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea it will be devastating rocket man should have been handled a long time ago. following comments like those from u.s. officials the latest offer of financial help signals a significant change but human rights attorney eric surat came believes that that is unlikely washington will come good on the deal with north korea korea there's

a lot of problems that we face with the credibility of the united states under those circumstances can we make deals whether it's the paris climate deal whether it's the around the nuclear deal what message are we sending to north korea about the durability of an agreement that we enter with them under such circumstances and so. the united states is sinking further and further from international customary legal norms in references to treaties and agreements. that despite the fact that there's been the goshi aided by multitude of countries so trust has to be rebuilt by experience it's not built by the words it's not built by sheets of paper. a u.s. congressman has asked the trumpet ministration to resume its funding of the controversial syrian activist group the white helmets reports of washington cutting

money to the group emerged a week ago although no confirmation has been issued so far more pain has a story. well ed royce from the foreign affairs committee of the u.s. congress he has met with the white helmets on many occasions with other politicians he's been photographed with them he's a big supporter of the white helmets and now he's calling for their funding to be immediately restored we cannot the benben the region we must work with the news and use over to the diplomacy including financial pressure and u.s. assistance to change conditions on the ground the administration should start by immediately reviewing stability thing including through the white house. now already the united states has provided the white house that's with over thirty two million dollars from the u.s. a id now they also receive funding from various european governments as well as governments throughout the middle east and when it was announced that their funding would be cut there were offers from the united kingdom to fill the gap for the u.k.

to provide funding of their own to actually fill up that gap and make up for the loss of funding from the united states they've actually had a close tie with the united kingdom for a long time in fact the white house were organized by a former member of m i six they have faced for a long time accusations of having ties with extremist groups as well as the fact of they only operate in rebel held territories that they didn't know why the accusation that they cooperate with the extremist groups now the white helmets of always claim they're an impartial organization we've actually heard some very strong criticism cism of them coming from russia and syria and the governments of russia and syria have gone as far as to point out that it appears that a number of their videos have actually been staged in order to effectively serve kind of talking points against the syrian government they're worried how mets have lost their luster they've been widely discredited in the eyes of the whole world as a crime as a propaganda arm western military intervention illegal military intervention in

syria mr will carry weight with the way to. he has a republican and he has the support unfortunately the rest of the congress is behind the illegal war and i have to say that this is a good time for us taxpayers to pick up the phone and call their am their congress person and their congressperson island or their senator and say i don't want my tax dollars to be used to meddle in the internal affairs of a sovereign country. my colleague you know neal will be hit with the latest let's hope of the area. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one foundation let it be an arms race is on off and spearing dramatic to follow to the only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be
