look at the latest. with friends like. the rift between the e.u. and the us is. bloc leaders push for greater independence from washington. with numerous probes into alleged russian interference of the us election republican senators concluded that russia did help donald trump get elected despite an republican house probe but there was no. reporter is the tanzanian government of. thousands of indigenous people. so all of that to make way for so-called luxury tourism.

this is international news team here a very warm welcome to. the european union has come up now with an action plan to keep the iran nuclear deal alive after the u.s. reneged on the agreement includes counter measures to protect european trade with iran. and the president of the european council donald tusk certainly had some pretty harsh words for the u.s. leader. looking at the latest decisions of president. someone could see them fitting. with that move. about frankly speaking. europe should be grateful for a pertinent. that if you knew the hoping. you will find one of your. it's not just being donald tusk that's been well handing out the

zing is towards donald trump we had angle of merkel speaking in the back of the stock on wednesday she was well it was part of her budgetary address where she sets out where she sees her government right now and where it stands and she took part of that speech to directly look at the transatlantic relationship and she said that you rip right now sell for the crossroads and we didn't listen to them on the multilateralism is under great pressure at the moment and because it's under great pressure europe must take its fate in its own hands more than before therefore we need to european answers almost certainly the biggest strain on that relationship at the moment is donald trump's decision to pull the united states out of the iran nuclear deal it's this whole well of non consultation with allies policy when it comes to diplomacy that really isn't winning donald trump any friends in europe but

then there's also the well extreme possibility of the likely possibility he doesn't care about winning friends in europe if we look back to his campaign he was incredibly dismissive of europe on his way to power he had to be dragged in could jolt and poked into getting on board with nato by to resume a we also saw what could at best only be called awkward relations between donald trump and angular merkel whatever they met in public and then we've got to remember when it comes to our money will he come well he publicly supported marine le pen against him in the election there so all of this is led some people watching this relationship to suggest that should it continue this way then europe may well start looking in another direction. we look forward to working with russia and china to see to deal that is important part right now we are hoping for both moscow and beijing to act as responsible international players but it's watching that

relationship suggesting that america first could well end up with america alone when live in a globalized world and three it is very very important and if he actually end up by still living america. it's not a good idea can he be elected for a second he's a question mark the republican dominated u.s. senate and intelligence committee has concluded that donald trump was elected with the help of the russians it comes after the house intelligence panel which also has a republican majority actually absolved the tom team of collusion the russian effort was extensive sophisticated and ordered by president putin himself for the purpose of helping donald trump and hurting hillary clinton so we've heard this story countless times but at this time the bipartisan republican led committee found that there was collusion you know how is this different from every other story well republicans on the committee actually agreed with fellow democrats that

not only did russia interfere in the election but the influence campaign was apparently directed by president putin himself to elect donald trump however just three weeks ago the house intel committee also a bipartisan republican led committee found that there was no collusion rushes active measures campaign achieved its primary goal of inciting division in discord among americans for more than a year us politics have been consumed by busy recriminations charges and countercharges about the attacks now the democrats completely dismissed the committee's assessment saying that it was incredible that republicans couldn't see collusion. throughout the investigation committee republicans chose not to seriously investigate or even see when in plain sight evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia and guess what democrats have pledged that they'll continue to investigate this collusion so now there's three separate investigations

all contradicting each other and we're not even taking into account investigations conducted by the department of justice homeland security other congressional committees and of course the infamous muller investigation all of those who found collusion or something whoever found there to be something could not explain what it was so you have to give you an idea of the ludicrous nature of this a number of organizations or tribunals that found no evidence of wrongdoing some that found at camps desires and the ones that said yes we found something could not tell you what it was that they found. both democrats and republicans on the senate intelligence committee have also at the same time agreed to back trump's nominee to lead the cia and she in a hospital has been accused of being linked to the torture of terror suspects with

trump praising her for being tough on tara also saying that torture works she reportedly ran a secret prison in thailand back in two thousand and two at which so-called enhanced interrogation techniques were applied at the intelligence committee backed her candidacy with ten votes to five during her confirmation hearing the police twice forcibly removed people protesting her nomination of a possible involvement in torture and one of those protesters was cia veteran ray mcgovern he shared his views with us on a hospital's appointment the record is very clear that she supervised waterboarding of al machinery at that like say in thailand she pretty much admitted that but then she classified the information so that it would be held to help from the public the senate committee that sent that recommendation up to the full senate today is the same one that brought into this charade about russian interference in our election

this is a committee that defends the intelligence community defends the torturers defends the people who eavesdrop on all americans this is me that is sort of joined at the hip that the intelligence people that is supposed to supervise most americans are abysmally ignorant with respect to what's going on and most of them have been led to believe that russia and feared cheering our election in two thousand and sixteen ford and i dear say is very little i would say no significant evidence that has been reduced to show that that is the truth that is very sad. to tanzania the government accused. of evicting must side communities according to an oakland institute report this began in the two thousand with the alleged aim of making way for safari tourism on the must side land by september twenty seventh

seen some twenty thousand people were left homeless after nearly six thousand homes were allegedly destroyed or damaged here are some of the affected villagers telling their story. but we've got to come out of the fight what. we got that much was got up across up because i well i love to get that it woman up it was one i knew. about that. was what we don't but i must go got that why you. wanted to go come on these women to get on a like a like you. you know salute burns or. those and yes there was a sub. who where do. we to remark was it. from the folks who were to not. do it to perth. who. were in the room visit to form is all good people and cisco move in there. is

a ledge and there is not a lens with any distance and leave the room sometimes it is not the companies that supply them selves in a blooming got the homes usually the owner has and these invitations it carried out by government officials park employees and last year the statement was that this was happening to protect the environment and to promote tourism the head of thomson so far is group strongly denies being involved in the evictions or thompson says that his company works with local communities and governments to improve access to water but here is another metal again. true legislation and landlubbers in the name of conservation the government tanzania has been dispossessing the indigenous groups these legislations have been used basically denying the my side their access to greeting lands the access to water holes but not just that it

has allowed some of the suppliers the companies that are operating in the area to collude with the officials who have been intimidated who have arrested and beaten the villagers because they have tried to use their ancestral lands more specifically we have looked at two companies that particular one is turns it you know conservation ltd which is operated by boston be. owned by the boston based company one constant supply really the other is u.a.e. based or here in business going to ration we. basically operates hunting excursions for the royal family a few weeks. the president of france is national union of students has been condemned for appearing on t.v. wearing a head job she was slammed on social media with people tweeting that it was impossible to stand up for rights while wearing the head covering. has more. the debate over women wearing a huge job in france is getting fired up once again why well student union

president miriam push too was in the news recently talking about the ongoing student protests here but instead of lighting a fire in support of a course she became a target just for wearing a hijab. meant a field day on social media questioning how a woman wearing a hijab could possibly be the president of a leftwing progressive student association and that it was a sign that the movement had been hijacked by women. gest salads.

in response to support miriam hash tag has appeared with a lot of people highlighting how france is a multicultural country and that wearing a hit job is an acceptable form of attire as it doesn't cover the face which is of course banned in france. marion's student union is also backing her saying it's each individual's right whether or not they wear a headscarf and that as a woman she has a right to choose we strongly condemn the way her for a cyst sexist in a slum of food be hatred of which mariam is a victim of but that isn't stopping the run for reaching the upper echelons of the

french government the gender equality minister is in now wading in condemning the own line trolls for targeting marian but at the same time questioning whether a woman in that role is setting the right example by wearing a head job. in her as you can have a supposed to be a feminist progressive student union whereas the veil is proof of the grip of religion the promotion of political islam in a sense instead of a disputing the route the minister's contribution is added yet another layer to this decades long debate can you be a feminist a progressive. thanks for joining us for the program so far here on r.t. international about quarter past the hour here in moscow and still to come england fans have been told to ditch their national flag when coming to the world cup in russia we're trying to explain that story in just a moment. free

trade country is not a country. believing in competition it's a monopolist country that believes in monopolization and their like to use the dollar as their bludgeon to beat people into submission and if you try to get out of the dollar whether it's syria iraq libya or iran that just actually said they're getting out of the dollar to go to europe you get bump bump bump bump bump bump

bump bump bump because dollars collateralized by violence. if you join us today u.s. national security adviser john bolton has told reporters that he is certain that the summit between north korea's kim jong un and president will happen after pyongyang said it make reconsider the meeting if washington demands north korea totally roots itself of all nuclear weapons and technology. quarter looks at the issue. as washington pats itself on the back for pushing north korea to hit the brakes on its nuclear program america itself is going in the opposite direction in fact on the very same day that donald trump proudly announced he plans to meet kim

jong un in june as officials at the pentagon rolled out their nuclear expansion plan. an evolving and uncertain job political landscape calls for the united states to recapitalize is to fast plutonium capabilities this is the savannah river site in south carolina a nuclear refinery built at the start of the cold war which the pentagon now wants to bring back from the dead it was intended to produce materials for nuclear weapons but was left half built and riddled with structural problems after the cold war though the plan was to flip it from being a bomb and resource center to a peaceful energy producer. the savannah river side easy a key department of energy industrial complex responsible for disposition of nuclear materials we still management environmental cleanup and environmental stewardship so the pentagon wants to weaponize a facility which was intended to be a nuclear arms burial ground but what exactly do they plan to produce pates bombs

that when armed with nuclear warheads can create a blast to one thousand times stronger than that of hiroshima it's expected to produce fifty each year and the u.s. has been crystal clear as to why they need to pay it so badly back in two thousand and ten the obama administration's. we with misplaced hope that quote russia is not an enemy it is increasingly a partner close quote anyone who watches the news today knows that this is not the case if it ever was president putin announced that russia is developing and building for new and horrific nuclear weapons nuclear deterrence is our number one priority defense mission forces warheads in c three people and infrastructure it's all part of the deter it is time to buckle down and get after all of it nuclear weapon. are popping up on both sides of the fence the u.s. and russia both saying they're responding to threats from each other although trump got in their first months before putin unveiled russia's new weapons we must

modernize and rebuild our nuclear arsenal hopefully never having to use it but making it so strong and so powerful that it will be pure any acts of aggression by any other nation or anyone else the whole world has just signed a treaty to ban nuclear weapons they were one hundred twenty two countries except that the nuclear powers and that's where we are and russia actually ratified the comprehensive test ban treaty we never did. congress never voted. made his nucleus knowledge in march he talked about the anti-ballistic missile treaty then back into that as the pressure was candid largely against our withdrawing from me what if it is the only stone in the national security system and so here we are . that was in two thousand and now the race is on so will we don't

get along then certainly the other countries are going. follow what we've we got a step to take there though even though the u.s. has been pushing hard for iran and north korea to ditch their nukes it's hard to imagine who's going to a bay if the u.s. can't lead by example donald corder r.t. . u.s. activist fighting against police brutality who was released after five months in prison claims to be the first victim of a secret f.b.i. surveillance program. took part in several anti brutality protests and advocated for the rights of african american gun owners he claims he's been secretly monitored by the f.b.i. since twenty fifteen over his and police statements the f.b.i. reportedly alleges that he made a facebook posts in support of a man who killed police officers however prosecutors failed to establish the post

throughout. florida you can call it. to. be you know the way. to. changing you know. there is. below guns lawyers believe he was prosecuted under a new f.b.i. program according to several released documents the bureau was carrying out a special investigation into those deemed to be domestic threats it focuses on so-called black identity extremists in the case of below going to police confiscated several weapons from his home the activist himself claims his protest

was never violent. but. seriously this is where you are true. to silly. me disagree with you know i am sold sure. on. my case this is the crew know how the word terrorist is. loose. with the unit. that we sent a letter to the f.b.i. asking them to clarify the links between the case of what about the alleged black identity extremists program and the agency replied saying it has no comment. now with less than a month to go until football's biggest tournament kicks off here in russia the u.k. has given advice to fans on how to behave during the world cup england fans have

been instructed to avoid displaying the country's flag which shows of course that of the st george's cross the head of british football policing suggests it could be seen as hostile and imperialistic by russians earlier trying to put that view to some russian football fans. some english fans who have issues with their behavior can be a headache for the hosts abroad and also for the police at home too they have to come up with guidelines to keep the supporters on the straight and narrow and those coming through russia have already been warned to avoid public why fight to keep away from childhood we get all kinds of scary thing well check out the latest advice from british police it's about this. well known symbol the british police are absolutely serious about this but will russian fans believe this is no joke.

mind you i would say and simply it's not but you know. we should maybe they're probably too nationalistic but. b.c. doing. imperialistic. they stick. you know but it's going to snow that's ridiculous. most of the stuff going to the fans want to show their flags or not they will be safe and welcome in russia. some kind of inappropriate behavior drinking too much and losing control of a long list of when you shouldn't drink too much and start fights you think you

would if they behaved themselves they wouldn't be any trouble. well a potentially explosive development the u.s. air force has lost a bunch of grenades and so on so it has proved futile so now it's putting up a reward. this is the kind of container that fell off a humvee are still belted grenade rounds the grenades fell out of the back half while traveling on a gravel road ok something's wrong. and you're dating about the trucks going missing the boat so.
