you go right out of moscow. drove first is already. on our t.v. . this is r.t. international bring you your line news update with me jacqueline welcome to the program. british foreign secretary boris johnson has resigned he's the third minister to quit in just twenty four hours with all three refusing to back to recent days plans for a so-called soft drugs that were u.k. ties to the e.u. states' closest possible it's been announced the health secretary jeremy hunt will replace him johnson has now published his resignation letter online he said that should have been about opportunities but quote that dream is dying suffocated by needless self-doubt he also claimed the country is now heading towards if someone breaks it and the status of a colony. has the details of the shock resignation. the u.k.

prime minister to resign may faced a tense meeting with tory m.p.'s and peers in parliament today as she was hoping to try and get control of her cabinet admits to all the infighting and her leadership is under a huge risk out the moment the infighting surrounds it maes idea for a silly tainted customs arrangement that's open about securing a trade deal with the u.k. leaves the next march two thousand and nineteen now the reason praxiteles angry is because the current plan has been quoted as being a soft breakfast and closely aligned with the rules and mates having trouble balancing her cabinet at the moment and this is what has led to resignations these past twenty four hours but the foreign secretary boris johnson who is an influential figure the face in fact of the vote to leave campaign in two thousand and sixteen well he was meant to give a press conference at the western balkan summit in london but downing street put out a statement saying to reason they have accepted his resignation to resume a speaking in parliament today thanks boris johnson for his work but this is how

they reacted but i want to recognize the work of the former secretary of state's extremely european union to recognise the passion that the former foreign secretary demonstrated it's going. to inform are you saying now to overhaul the order of the family on the show you really atmosphere that was all i want to hear about these important matches she was saying was true the prime minister thank you for the soul the foreign sector demonstrated in promoting the global richard to the world as we leave the european union but despite the eruptions of laughter to reason a spokesperson said the government is not in a meltdown he said that there's no question of revisiting the position agreed on in checkers on friday but meanwhile jeremy cool been the leader of the labor party has mocks may's claim that she's restored cabinet responsibility two years on general for sixteen months from articles. being triggered it's only this weekend the

cabinet managed to agree on the go shooting position i'm on itself and that illusion lasted forty eight hours corbin says that he understands why ministers did not resign on friday because their phones were moved they would have lost their cars because of government cuts and there would be no bus service if there were also reports that m.p. said that they were on standby just in case ready to spec m.p.'s up if they did resign on friday but in the past twenty four hours we've also seen the resignation of david davis the secretary which also led to his number two resigning following his example well he said that the reason they had given away too much too easily when he resigned on sunday evening but the resignations of two of the cabinets most senior ministers leaves to resign made cabinet now in a tenuous position former london mayor ken livingstone told us he's never seen

british politics in such disorder. the simple fact is i can't ever recall the trauma in my life when the politics of the british government has been in such chaos and with complete impossibility to try and understand where we'll be in three months or six months or next year will the government to go if we don't know will we actually vote to leave we don't know literally i've never known such an uncertainty in all my time in politics and frankly i suspect it would be a huge impact on our economy what foreign corporation is going to be thinking of investing in britain when all of this is helping me and there is no one person on either side who can unite the tory party around this issue i mean the most divisive issue and it takes me back to the one nine hundred ninety s. when our then tory prime minister john major who was trying to preside over a tory party divided in parliament over whether or not we should join the common currency and the end. you had

a labor landslide and i think most property trees are money made till the next general election but that could be later this year why i think looking at the mess in the tory party now it's much more likely that it will be jeremy corbyn as a labor prime minister who will then negotiate a better deal with the. meanwhile the u.k. government's cobra emergency committee has been holding a meeting over a poisoning incident and amesbury a woman along with her partner works both of the know we talk nerve agent she died on sunday evening we discussed the issue with political commentator david vance is to resume a government seems to have a bit of a bit of obsession a boy trying to blame such incidents such as the previous one for example on russia well i think that's the kind of a distraction and i think at this point in time to reason they would rather talk abut anything anything other than her and their leadership so i would really be

surprised that this new. incident does get hyped off and talked of by the british government all day and which is quite conceivable by to morrow morning this prime minister could be gone possibly discussing no bitch of is is almost a welcome distraction from for the beleaguered mayor with the strange. the possible the u.k. home secretary has been also briefing parliament on the latest incident in amesbury official still can't say whether the agent came from the same batch of the one used in march the poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter in the nearby city of cells very nerve agent that's been used in this incident is the same as the march the fourth incident but we have not the scientists have not been able to identify or determine if it is the same passion it may well be but at this point that is not known the story certainly taken a very serious new turn with the news of the passing away of don sturgis one. of

the two people that was affected in this so-called second poisoning incident she was forty four years old and she had passed away on sunday evening and now that this has happened it's clear to understand that the investigation is going to be expected to be much more vigorous and certainly stronger language is going to be needed than the one we've seen so far along the lines of most likely while the investigation is still continuing with lots of questions still around about where and how this couple could have potentially contaminated themselves we've heard that the working theory so far is that they came in contact with some kind of contaminated object and of course lots of questions there about how that could have happened given the millions and millions of pounds spent on dea come into contact the nation work in souls this is not stopping some officials in the u.k. including the u.k. defense minister to still continue to drag russia into the story the reality is

that russia has committed to an attack on british soil which is seeing. this is something designed think the world will unite with is actually. going williamson's claim that russia has something to do with that. is just the same old mantra russians did it. could you perhaps come up with something new and proper and careful investigation for instance well if you keep in mind gavin williamson was a british politician who really raised eyebrows not just in russia but also here in the u.k. when it came to this whole scandal when he said that russia should shut up and go away so in this particular case what could be seen as a somewhat premature reaction seems to be followed by some british politicians as well as journalists here in westminster time to send a clear message to putin about chemical weapons relegate the remaining games of the world cup to elsewhere in europe and also indifference to collateral damage is one

of the hallmarks of the putin regime and its extraterritorial operation. so you did now the joke big jim don't sturges has done this was a murder of a british citizen as a result of use of a chemical nerve agent produced by the russian state now certainly just to remind our viewers this is been a story that has been going on for over four months now following the so-called original poisoning of sergei script and his daughter who are now well and recovered following quite some time at the hospital but they have been discharged and their whereabouts and current condition seems to be kept well under wraps and now with this latest poisoning that can certainly be described as extremely unexpected not least so by the british government that has been really pushing to some extent so hard this narrative of russia having been behind the script poisoning which of course russia has denied throughout this whole time it is quite safe to assume that

some very serious facts are going to be having to be produced especially given this death and of course the consequences of that this whole saga has had on the ties between russia and the u.k. . the german chancellor angela merkel has signaled her country is ready to negotiate on the new import tariffs with the u.s. however she did not rule out a hardline response if the talks aren't productive. we're ready to talk with the u.s. must try to reach an agreement otherwise who have to take measures as we did in connection with the steel and aluminum tariffs. meanwhile the u.s. ambassador to germany has met with the country's leading carmakers to discuss the tariffs artists american has the details the us ambassador to germany apparently held a top a secret meeting with the who's who of the german auto industry to discuss tariffs and this was met with harsh criticism from the head of the german social democratic

party saying that it wasn't in the ambassador's authority to do so if the u.s. government wants to talk about tariffs with us. then this issue must be discussed between the u.s. secretary of commerce and the german minister for economic affairs and energy peter altmire we're not some kind of banana republic this wasn't the first time the ambassador has managed to stir up controversy he frustrated germans the day here arrived in germany back in may with just one tweet in which he advised german businesses to stop doing business in iran for some context to this was right after trump announced that the us would you wouldn't laterally withdraw from the iran deal and then just a month after that he offended germans again when he said that he wanted to empower the right wing all across europe with the german politicians claiming that he had breached protocol and some even called for him to be expelled from the country so a lot of members of my party if i'm pretty explicit that we find these statements are highly inappropriate for an ambassador. or canobie but advised to reconsider

his role in this mission if the federal government takes the country's democratic sobering too seriously you should not invite a ground zero for a chat but rather expel him immediately and bus deserved representatives of the state of political movements u.s. ambassador grenell however does not behave like a diplomat but more like a far right colonial office and we won't tolerate such behavior so this latest scandal has the ambassador stirring up controversy just days before trump is scheduled to visit europe. the ward winning journalist who helped whistleblower edward snowden to expose the secrets of the n.s.a. has found himself under attack for visiting russia for a cyber security conference mufon. well glenn greenwald who is the famous journalist who exposed electronic surveillance in the united states using the documents of edward snowden revealed by edward snowden the whistleblower he is

getting a lot of criticism at this point now he went to russia he attended a conference on. cyber security at that conference he spoke on a panel related to the issue of fake news and then from there he went and did a t.v. interview with this network and this is some of what he said in his interview with r.t. there's an obsession in the united states with viewing russia not just as an adversary but as an actual enemy it's permeated both political parties there's actually talk a lot now about how what they regard as the interference in the twenty six thousand election is similar to pearl harbor now from there we saw a whole lot of media voices in the usa jump on glenn greenwald simply for the fact that he gave this interview one commentator from m.s. n.b.c. responded to the fact that glenn greenwald stated his views in an interview with this network this way this is what was said glenn greenwald shows he's true colors

as an agent of trauma and moscow now we know why he helps snowden the fact covers for the leaks attack on democracy and shields for fox news he's deep in the kremlin's pocket. now a tweet from a media outlet associated with voice of america accuse glenn greenwald of quote voicing support for the government of russia in his interview now wiki leaks responded pointing out that at no point did mr greenwald voiced support for the russian government that was not anything he said in his interview at no point in the interview did he make statements supporting the russian government so this tweet from a u.s. government media outlet voice of america was simply not correct now glenn greenwald is not the first individual to have been targeted this way and basically accused of all kinds of things simply for appearing on this network we saw that green party presidential candidate jill stein faced a similar allegation simply because she did interviews on r.t. and that she went to russia and met

a lot of near putin and we've also seen in the recent in the aftermath of the passing away of edge scholtz we've seen similar statements and strange things made in allegations made in the obituaries in the reporting around his death so glenn greenwald has responded to those jumping on him for doing the interview saying that this is simply mccarthyism and it reminds people of the period in the united states in which guilt by association was very common and people were being accused of being disloyal and treasonous simply for meeting with somebody or giving an interview or shaking hands with someone glenn greenwald is quick to jump on this as an example of kind of the hysterical atmosphere created around russia in the united states the subject of the interview he gave to r.t. . across live now to investigative journalist max blumenthal now why do you think the media media chose to criticize greenwald for visiting russia. well it wasn't just the media and it's not just criticism this is outright slander.

potentially legally actionable libel that is being committed by an employee of m s n b c which has pushed this frame of anything connected to russia being a form of treason whether it's diplomacy or person to person engagement and what it appears to me that glenn greenwald award winning journalist has done is on his own company's money go to moscow to engage in a conference that included critics of lattimer putin on a panel along with margarita simonyan the director of r.t. and he was accused of treason by malcolm nance who is a former m s n b c contributor who has been upgraded to an intelligence analyst on m s n b c they're leading russia expert although malcolm nance has absolutely no expertise on russia at all he has some language skills in arabic and was

a former naval petty officer who has made several wild claims including that joel stein had her own show on r.t.e. just totally false greenwald pointed out the fact that imus and b.c. never corrected this fake claim on its own network and nance was rewarded as intelligence analyst and you know it's really if you look at malcolm nance's own record of wild statements including that the united states as a constitutional republic is about to be destroyed by the latter mere putin it's pretty clear that he's to intelligence what harvey weinstein is to feminism and that really is a stain on m s n b c and their claim to represent anything related to the facts. now people like till stein as you mention have appeared on this channel the late ed schultz of course had his own t.v. show on our team america is a t.v. appearance really anough to brand someone a russian agent these days well for me it is as well i mean i get this very similar

thing and you know we have to ask why do we get branded a russian agent for going on r t which by the way you know the neo conservative david frum has been a guest on our t.v. representative adam schiff the grand inquisitor of russia before russia gate began was on our t.v. but why are people branded who go on our team now branded russian agents well number one is because they're usually critics of american foreign policy and criticism is not permitted in our suppose a democracy number two russia is considered as greenwald said an enemy of the united states by mainstream democrats so if i go on al-jazeera and i was on al-jazeera two nights ago this is a channel run by qatar i'm not accused of being a qatari agent i worked with al jazeera off and on for years and that's because qatar has a u.s. military base qatar plays an important role in america's empire russia does not

russia would not allow a u.s. military base within its fear and so this is all about geopolitics and people like glenn greenwald. have been have become collateral damage in the revival of mccarthyism not just by malcolm nance but by an entire network and less n.b.c. which is dedicated to promoting the cynical imperatives of the democratic party all regardless we do appreciate you coming on and talking with us this evening investigative journalist max cleland thought thank you so much. thanks for having me. let's turn to the world cup now there are just four countries left in the race for cup glory later on tuesday france the clash with belgium and the semifinals those teams are now the two favorites to lift the trophy and then on wednesday england in moscow for the world meanwhile

a charity footy match involving stars of the game has been held in red square participating was the captain of west germany's nine hundred ninety world cup winning side an x. russian midfielder alexander must avoid the game was organized by the naked heart foundation which helps children with disabilities we spoke to those taking part. in seeing children participate their emotions how it helps them become a part of this policy this is the best stone or a reward. that was. presented but i like that i can be here and help and also play red square that's the thing to remember i'm really glad to participate in such an event be pulled out of the free food world cup which as it seems to me is absolutely fantastic. i'm so proud of seeing russia i'm so proud that i seem to have played the son task

for the goal i think they conquered the hearts of the biggest skeptics about russian football and know what this actually how something today is really important because now thousands of boys and girls will want will be motivated to take on this force and of course this way when it comes to young kids with special needs they're not an exception they also want to play football the world cup is going to have an impact on them from dish and could use this moment was called for said corliss behind. the last fifty years start from the beginning because in just four days and this is a very nice and a very good relationship and single same. abad who died each side from each other missing the world cup was very nice to know there's a lot of surprise to the syrians they doing a good atmosphere on the street the same with the russian team was in the tournament of the quarterfinals maybe not so many russians except that even.

the opening game of this world cup was also first by having ball girls our correspondent in the checked out the state of women's football and russia. which team has the best pass i q a c. in the opening game of the world cup it must be russia after all they won five nil no saudi arabia wrong again so here's who did. they found another player with every single pass the first ever ball girls the world cups opening match their from a junior women's football club cold today from a neighborhood that's remote even by russian standards to get their free moment at the world cup opener the teenagers won a contest against boys and girls from all over the world's biggest countries. so there is obviously. guilty here but since they could see it could be said it was

the. millions would have loved to find themselves in the same boots. girls from this amateur football club from moscow not so many of those in russia for now but count them in you won't see them helping out at the russian world cup arenas but these ladies of f.c. girl power don't need special occasions to shine on and off the pitch their team can for one throw a party that would lower crowds of moscow's most hip party goers. for a bit of fun and all in the name of football women's amateur football football for everyone. it's just. that you.

little boy to school oh i had the best the good at putting it all back that ass night is a good. i shall see even now that it when i get a. call i mean since i am the bull the coyly look at that as a goose going to west ham was reason in the when you left the front of us for football watching me we come back that is such a shame could have to. keep the fishy deal key these can unite and i wouldn't want to. show me a little bit alone you have some of those were just the off button you don't need some day you do all of the chop push the way he's treated so you know and then i put him up old boy what you knew about what i'm called those an all star you know my you my man can tell me ask all what are your kids on the football and yeah yeah

what south is saying hold on it's one of those jobs back to america by imposing tariffs to equalize this trade picture and move toward up post china extraction model you know where as private equity extracts wealth using lab or try out china's but extracting wealth using leverage trade shenanigans so this is just the reverse of bad and wrong as i hear it in some people's voices starts to make a little bit more sense that people don't understand that this guy actually understands more than people are giving him credit for. move. in the. movie.
