said but the head of the government here in the u.k. that was analyzing and identifying the sample of the nerve agent used in the attack porton down the head of that government lab hasn't been able to confirm the origin of the nerve agent itself used in soulsby and now some news outlets are saying that these revelations show that a whole wrong countries have had a sample of this nerve agent for nearly two decades now and as one of the newspapers that published this investigation has said this british theory that the poison could only come from russia shares unjustified confidence. german media says that those behind the investigation have requested comment on the revelations from both german and swedish governments but berlin said that it wouldn't discuss the intelligence issue of stock and said it's not aware of any

8:34 pm
their access to grazing land access to water holes but not just that it has allowed some of the safari companies that are operating in the area to conclude that the local officials who have intimidated who are arrested and beaten in the villages because they have tried to use their ancestral lands we also find that they have been violent addictions and these are all been carried out in the most rewarding tourism or some of the noise and in the absence of food it has led to widespread hunger managership and disease the kind of disposition that the record priest you shills are going to get not just be forced out of their homes and lands with their messiah i mean forced under existing. the head of one company probed thompson safaris strongly denies being involved in the evictions it's direct to rick thompson adds that they also work with local communities and the government to
8:35 pm
improve access to water but i took this on the ground tell a different story i had to look at the government and in your tent assented i mean that you are isn't enough or the boredom laden or all this is because you know the protection you know so look on me. so if the plaster list that ended all their lives but they don't have access to this and we'll look up our resume look up out. what. it is attracted by a look for example what happened back in lebanon six governments of mixed it to people from this hour and five times and yet the pastoralists but it was their whole soul much of my religion and now we're where the houses where there aren't you know all so. excited to go. there was no in the planning of well
8:36 pm
being you know when you live in a place you from the you have structure you have your social status and now you're whole day just into the forest so if you will ask me well i must say how black market place like i don't where they out you where you live in the us their whole. ukrainian court has ordered that russian journalists get real vision ski be detained for two months this is that of the kiev bureau of the ria novosti news agency was arrested tuesday for alleged treason he was arrested in kiev then transported to handsomeness a city in southern ukraine more than five hundred kilometers from the capital his relatives have heard nothing since his arrest the wife marina says the journalist has a medical condition and needs medication. yeah i learned about his arrest from the internet i then contacted his driver and he told me that it happened in the car park five people in civilian clothes came up to him grabbed him and bundled him
8:37 pm
into the car and left no one contacted me no one from the ukrainian services committee fishel informed me about their arrests and more than that i haven't heard from my husband since monday i can't get my head around this i don't understand what are the treason charges and what journalism has to do with treason. after vicious he was arrested ukrainian security services also broke into the offices of rhian obvious to ukraine the searches lasted more than eight hours and the houses of journalists working for the agency were also searched as sort of in high level condemnation against actions many organizations are accusing the ukrainian government of an attack on media freedom but also demanding vision release human rights watch called on ukrainian authorities to provide evidence to back up its charges against a journalist and we discuss the case with the organizations deputy director for europe and central asia rachel demba. under no circumstances should the government be criminalizing speech and media activities groundlessly and
8:38 pm
ukraine i think this is out of line with ukraine's these raids and detentions are out of line with ukraine's obligations to protect media freedoms. case there's a there's an obligation to provide some kind of transparency about what exactly is grounding treason charges that's an extremely serious serious charge that carries a hefty prison sentence so they better continue to come forward with what it is that causing the grounds for this charge because working for you know working sure you know the state or having a russian passport and not grounds for treason charge. but we and other organizations have have been in. expressing i think more frequently concerned about media freedoms in ukraine i mean judge him based on the fact that their world website down last year and journalists who were who were either banned or were
8:39 pm
expelled because of the views that they project a couple criminal cases that are ongoing on. you for example. and others based on what you know based on things that people have said or written so and after their you know cases of killings of journalists that have that remain unsolved so i think we're problems we're quite we're more concerned than we were say last year. the u.s. national security advisor john bolton has said that the summit between north korea's kim jong un and president trump will go ahead as planned despite pyongyang having threatened to cancel the meeting if washington pushes for the denuclearization of the korean peninsula without offering anything in return and he's done a quarter has been looking 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
8:40 pm
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 geopolitical 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 resource center to a peaceful energy producer. the savannah river 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
8:41 pm
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. 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 or here three people in infrastructure it's all part of the deter it is time to buckle down and get after all of it nuclear weapons . 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
8:42 pm
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 is where we are and russia actually ratified the comprehensive test ban treaty we never did now economists never voted. who made his nuclear power listen speech in march he he talked about the entire bill istic missile treaty that back into russia it was categorically against our withdrawing from me what it is that cornerstone of the national security system and so here we you know. that was in two thousand now that race is on so we know
8:43 pm
get along then certainly the other countries are and. we got to step think there so 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. activists fighting against police brutality is claiming to have been the first victim of a secret f.b.i. surveillance program wreck him took part in several protests and also campaigns for the rights of african american gun owners he was recently released after five months in jail and says that the protests he took part in were never violent. you know each of the four different coalitions. we tear out. here are you know the way to.
8:44 pm
charge it to. us was. require. changing you know when we go to reduce. or. to look down there is. the lagoons lawyers believe that he was prosecuted under a new f.b.i. program that focuses on so-called black identity extremists according to several released documents the bureau is carrying out a special investigation into those deemed to be domestic threats driven by police brutality perceptions it was first noted back in two of the seventeen in a report sent to thousands of police stations and activists claims that the program singles out black people who simply disagree with the government but. this is
8:45 pm
a way for. her to simply. he. may disagree with. my case he says the crew how the word terrorist is. loose. with the little. boy asked the f.b.i. to clarify the links between his case and the alleged black identity extremis program the agency said that it has no comment to make. with us the month to go until football's biggest tournament gets under way in russia another world cup recently took place one that raises awareness about children who've been sleeping rough all around the world more than two hundred homeless young people representing twenty four days came to moscow for the street child world cup on the hosts of forming the striker stan collymore was the.

8:47 pm
future of the treated we've been welcomed with open arms washoe of most of the most vulnerable children the world cup and oh that will host a brilliant people woke up because they go. results and they've already well the world. you're watching all to international appreciate you joining us this evening news headlines and updates on the top stories coming your way at the top of the. seventy four design submissions. seven thousand islands. two. hundred sixty nonstop days of work.
8:48 pm
show you how. the chromium bridge was built. witnessed the construction of when you need to transfer. out of crimea. most of those you know won't go for more snow yet it abuts. most guys are you know they rube goldberg machine is right it's like a mousetrap with like fifteen different ways to get the ball through the hoop down
8:49 pm
the slide over to the roundabout and then joel. donald trump yes stacey that was a rube goldberg opening nobody knows quite what she said but i'm going to start with the donald trump tweet and nobody ever knows quite what he's saying either and that is president xi of china and i are working together to give massive chinese phone companies e.t.e. a way to get back into business fast too many jobs in china last commerce department has been instructed to get it done this is a story highlighting the capricious nature of a us dollar empire remember we've had this exorbitant privilege for the last forty years since one thousand seventy one since we went off the gold standard we've had this exorbitant privilege as charles the goals government pointed out that we were able to basically print money and get free goods from the rest of the world and this worked out quite well for a very long time and led to globalization and a rise in global living standards and now it feels like once we erected one trade
8:50 pm
barrier one basically barrier by a swift to this financial this dollar financial system a few years ago against iran and at that time our guest jim rickards said be careful what you do because if you use this weapon too often things could fall apart but this story about c.t.e. what happened to z t e m a massive chinese telecoms company that got destroyed overnight by the u.s. and now is trying they're trying to resurrect it is an interesting one right well you know china's taking our jobs so here you. is very near to having just been elected and he's making sure the china gets our jobs he's exporting our jobs back to china it took a back but now he's putting it back he thinks so it is like a rube goldberg machine in that sense and it also reminds me what happens when you have a global economy that's completely tied together just in time delivery like a gordian knot of trade if you try to move one little part with a sanction or
8:51 pm
a tweak here it affects the entire ecosystem of all global trade but it's not like we're living in the eighteenth century or something where you put something on a ship and takes a few weeks to get to the other side and all were going to some of the trade in gold now it's all instant sanely says especially with block change coming into the mix is instant taney asli settled upon the execution of the trade it's instant settlement no banks even so trump is like wallowing in there like a drunken boris yeltsin liked trying to figure out like. clark you can get dog. right and he's like completely bamboozled himself he's fooling himself and it also reminds me in the u.k. when they have a transportation system set up in different divisions so them that one company is doing that railway and other companies doing the stops along the railway and they're competing with each other in the u.k. privatizing these components of their transportation system so then they compete
8:52 pm
with each other and it doesn't work you can't get from point a to point b. because there's two separate companies or five separate companies competing with each other to stop you from getting to your destination so you end up with a are really a system is broken well here trumps applying the same for cock to logic to global trade and looking like an idiot of course here is a us dollar based trade system that has benefited us immensely yes we have lost a lot of jobs but we've got receive a lot of goods for free here i'm going to show you the consequences of imposing sanctions like they did on c t first i'll tell you about. chinese tech giant on brink of. apps a new us cold war this is from the new york times want to china's most internationally successful tech suppliers with about seventeen billion dollars in annual revenues each facing a death sentence the commerce department has blocked access to american made components until twenty twenty five saying the company failed to punish employees who violated trade controls against iran and north korea so they had already paid
8:53 pm
a billion dollar fine then they said they can't trade use any u.s. parts many of their components for their various products that they make are actually from the united states so basically they had to shut down fire seventy five thousand people around the world and seventeen billion dollars from the global trade system evaporated but the point is that because of this as the new york times points out as the chump administration threatens a trade war to stymie china's plans for promoting events industries the firms to vale's are proving an apt demonstration for china's leaders of exactly why the country needs to be more self-sufficient in technology chris lane a telecom analyst in hong kong with sanford c. bernstein believes that china now has the resolve to whip its semiconductor business into world leading shape even if it takes a decade to do so quote they're going to pour billions of dollars into preventing this from ever happening again he said in the long run strategically this might be worse for the us than the current situation so he's going to force china into the
8:54 pm
arms of iran force and germany into the arms of russia so he's creating a multi-polar world which means a multi currency world which means block change but calling world the biggest loser is the us dollar in america yet in this case of course the u.s. corporations have benefited from the semiconductor business that needs microchips from here so it's helped us manufacturers the u.s. companies u.s. employees now he's forcing. out a business or is trying to bring them back into business but he was forced out of business because he couldn't you. u.s. parts but remember there are many many other nations the world and they all look at this and say well is there going to going to be a point where we're going to suddenly be cut off should we build our own manufacturing system to rely on any u.s. components when it's it's quite possible that trump or whoever come becomes president next could do the same thing right no that is that's inflationary because
8:55 pm
up until now in fact this huge deflationary wave of globalization and the us dollar is a single source of borrowing which is then tied to the yen and you can get money for negative renters trades but if everyone splits off of their own separate five times they're going to rebuild and replicate everyone's manufacturing capacity in five or six different countries that's written inflationary that means that the u.s. dollar bond market the u.s. treasury market now at three percent the highest it's been in years it's going to five or six percent i mean every mortgage in america is going to go out of business do you bank a new report it's going out of business it's insolvent that'll set off another two thousand and eight firestorm of global banking collapses it's happening now where's the money going to go big point about that iran sanctions story this is another story that happened capriciously likely that it was so like the the kings of england before the magna carta like it was very whims the call and like i'm going to be head that enemy of mine i'm going to behead my cousin because he insulted me
8:56 pm
and you know thanksgiving dinner. now that they thank you well i'm not going to thanksgiving dinner at your house so you're worst of having like a burnt turkey breast but here it be had it but here is another article about the consequences of using that sort of power of pulling the trigger on the power that you have to cut people off from the u.s. dollar system time to break free from america this is from a blog called irrationality and you know air bus has ten percent of their components are made in the u.s. so just ten percent of their components but because of that because after all those years. the negotiations and their rainy and deal and he decided to add a whim via tweet to just knock off that system and europe has billions of dollars of new trade with iran airbus has a billions of dollars deal so suddenly air bus can't do this and look at the consequences these are things said by french and german ministers french foreign minister johnny. complained that quote we feel that the extraterritoriality of
8:57 pm
their american sanction measures are unacceptable the europeans should not have to pay for the withdrawal from an agreement by the united states which they had themselves contributed meanwhile french finance minister bruno dimapur asked yesterday do we want to be the assholes who obey decisions taken by the united states while clinging to the hem of their trousers or do want to say we have our own economic interests and remarkably the article goes on to point out that because of these are rainy and sanctions they're actually disgusting in very high levels in europe among the ministerial class of devising an alternative to the swift system again this is really important to the demise if the fewer dollars you have circulating the fewer the less power you have to mess up the system and destroy your enemies by cutting them off from the swiss system is censorship enabling right if the us doesn't like instilling astonish they can cut off from all credit if us
8:58 pm
doesn't like what's happening around they can cut him off from swift right that's such a ship enabling that goes against everything that you would normally believe is the story with free trade so america is on a free trade country its not a capitalist country sonic believing in competition it's a monopolist country that believes in monopolization and then 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 just actually said they're getting out the dollar to go to euro boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom why dollars collateralized violent by. ultraviolence i believe it was under obama actually that they first cut off somebody from the swift system and again it was it was jim rickards who has done extensive writing and research about the dollar and gold an s.c.r. and he said that was. we could rule that day that we did that because yeah we we were like yeah we won that battle but we could leave iraq in records should not go
8:59 pm
. well as they point out european politicians are now considering what measures they can take to protect themselves from american efforts to force them to comply with american sanctions policy according to the e.u. is considering various avenues one of these he says involves looking at europe's financial independence what can we do to give europe more financial tools allowing it to be independent from the united states connected with this is a proposal to set up a purely european finance house to oversee euro denominated transactions with iran and again that guy is the french finance minister in your denominator transactions the rent call up tony to libya bit pay and you can do bitcoin transactions with iran between germany and europe all day long for zero percent transaction fees and no restrictions whatsoever get with the twenty first century germany don't let america take france but never get rid of all the troops by the way in germany that's a huge drain on your economy you don't leave us troops in french or wherever so i
9:00 pm
mean interestingly this system that we have now this with us dollar based system was basically set up because of the french finance minister under de gaulle called the fact that america had this gold standard and yet the dollar standard as well on top of it that they had an exorbitant privilege and they called back the three hundred million dollars worth of gold and that set off in motion the ending of the bretton woods agreement so here they are calling again they're pointing out like hey this is where it's subject to these crazy there's a goal moment is another de gaulle moment but quickly in the last headline here this is from reuters and they're talking about again these iran sanctions and the consequences and that is iran oil sanctions. could invent china's petro un this is from reuters not from os china's position to be a chief beneficiary of the u.s. decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal as it would give china leverage to demand oil imports be priced in un several currency experts said on thursday so just just as and baiting iraq and spending a lot.
