no way he could have done it there's no possible way because they did not shoot around a corner. again flip flop some rushes alleged meddling in the twenty sixteen presidential election branding it true in a television interview. twenty sixty i would say that that is true the. ill informed and wild speculation written security minister dismisses media reports police have identified the perpetrators of the script oh you think attack. on your microphone is under pressure after eight is called beating a protester to the ground. but. that iraqi rap artist films a parody on

a viral music it to raise awareness of the situation in the country we speak to the artist. who was little invasion of iraq is a major contributing factor to. something and feeling pretty good. and it's a. good evening and welcome you're watching international. limit putin has warned that leading the u.s. figures are force feeding false accounts about monday summit with trump for political gain. there are forces in the us ready to easily sacrifice russia u.s. relations for their political ambitions a satirical novelist once wrote about these sorts of people as beautiful and

pathetic but these people here are another pitiful nor pathetic on the contrary they're pretty powerful if they can fool some such stories to millions of their citizens and they can. kill a score stateside now can speak to a correspondent. just bring us up to date with the latest developments well in addition to those recent comments from the russian president we also have trump getting on twitter and describing the meeting as a great success and then blaming fake news for the political fallout in the drama following the meeting now it is important to note that the further trump gets from the meeting and the further away the meeting gets it seems like trump's rhetoric related to russia has clearly been somewhat evolving in the last few days let's take a listen have president putin he just said it's not russian i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be. i don't see any reason why it

wouldn't be russia. sort of a double negative. if you agree with u.s. intelligence that. russia meddled in the election twenty sixteen i would say that that is true but you haven't condemned putin specifically do you hold him personally responsible well i would because he's in charge of the country. now from flip flopping is not something that really surprises anyone the most recent example would be on wednesday when donald trump admitted that russia was not targeting the united states with the u.s. state department then disagreeing with him let's take a listen to that. is russia targeting the president. i talked to the president he wasn't answering that question he was saying no he's not taking questions now at this point donald trump is under tremendous pressure in

the aftermath of his meeting with the russian president the cover of time magazine for example shows kind of the atmosphere now trump has been under this intense pressure and we're at the point that the u.s. congress is actually calling for the translator who was in the meeting with the two world leaders behind closed doors to be called before congress to testify about what actually happened so in addition to you know the the changing of the message and the rather inconsistent message we're hearing from the white house there is definitely a dramatic political fallout from the president's political opponents so a lot of questions remain people wondered what exactly trump is going to say next about his meeting with the russian president putin live from new york that in the thank you. on to other news the u.k. security minister has slammed media reports the police have identified those behind the poisoning of the script as being ill informed wild speculation thursday the

press association news agency so i think the source close to the probe plan to perpetrate this had been found and it said the media abuzz police investigating this particular incident back in march believe that they do have the identity of two suspects suppressed association says police believe they have identified three you see carried out the nova chilcot stock in salzburg police in britain are reported to have identified several people they believe were behind the nerve agent attack on the former russian spy said case cripple and his daughter yulia media frenzy was sparked by just one tweet from a news agency scientists claiming u.k. police and identified the suspects behind the script poisoning police reports. a source with knowledge of the probe told press association investigators believe they have a dental fide the suspected perpetrators behind the novacek attack on the script files. well this is all allegedly come from

a source close to the police investigation into the original attack against the script prowls back in march and this source has spoken to the press association they're the ones reporting it and they've said that investigators are apparently closing in on the suspected perpetrators of the attack and the police have allegedly been looking at c.c.t.v. footage and they've been examining it and also looking at records of people who had entered and left the country around the time of the attack against the script piles in march because the bomb shell really in all these reports that is that these suspects are allegedly russian it is important to note that these are unconfirmed reports as yet so far it's just come from this one article by the press association but it's done the rounds and it's pretty big headline news here in the u.k. even though we haven't had any updates from the police or the oath or a tease in regards to the investigation that hasn't stopped the press speculation

though just to give you an example the sun newspaper has elaborated on the story saying that scotland yard apparently believes that it was a two man hit team that carried out the attack on the script files and that they did it on the orders of the kremlin and furthermore that the pair are thought to have left the u.k. for russia the morning after the attack and to quote the newspaper thought to be under the protection of president vladimir putin so that's the source of reports that are in the press here right now. has consistently denied any claims of wrongdoing even though the british government pointed the finger squarely at the kremlin in the days after the attack saying that it's highly likely that russia or did the poisoning and now following these new unconfirmed reports the russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander yet to vent. has already responded take

a listen. you. know we see only leaks to british media and official statements from the interior ministry or scotland yard and nobody in this world has official information concerning what exactly happened in the u.k. . and in a way that you can see the russian diplomat really upping the ante saying well go on then give us these names if you're going to make these allegations we want to see evidence of it and we've just got a line from the russian foreign ministry as well they've said that if the u.k. keeps these alleged russian suspects classified if this case becomes secret as well then moscow will regard it as a cover up of the perpetrators so there's clearly a sense of increasing frustration here i would say from the russian side that the british media can sort of go on making these allegations almost indefinitely

without a shred of evidence from the or thora season without any official statements from the police investigation to back it up. french president on a micron is under pressure after a top aide was caught beating up a student protester the incident took place at an anti-government rally in may and was captured on camera by an activist. i. wasn't sure because i was shocked and very angry i would never have believed it wasn't a policeman and now anyone can wear a uniform interrogate me that won't ease tensions between police and citizens and it raises the question over the legitimacy of law enforcement the most worrying thing is we know america has been aware of this for two and

a half months from the very start so we see intent to cover this up. and while the french police union has filed a lawsuit to find out how it was able to where police equipment in the incident. has more details on the scandal that now affecting the presidency. well a shocking video that shocked many people in france what you see on the video is alexander her first of all he is grabbing woman and charging her down the street he passes the camera that still mean him and then a little bit later we see him once again this time he emerges next to a male protester and what is clearly seen almost is him wrapping up male protesters neck hitting him on the head and then he appears to be stamping him on the stomach as he falls to the ground why was he well he danced his forces his work at the least a palace he could see the c.r.'s the riot police during the may day protests to see

how operations are carried out in regards to see security now he wasn't on a working day he was on a day off and he was only there to. take part in the police action against the protesters and that itself has sparked a huge backlash here in france i've watched the video and i'm shocked just like the whole world the video poses a number of questions to a man or mccrone we need a commission inquiry what is a private to doing among law enforcement officers this question must be posed to emmanuel macron i can't believe this guy is still in the service of the president of the republic so michael tolerates that the film scene is very violent. colleague usurps police insignia and hits a man to the ground you can't want to make simpler republic and let people think that they can be double standards one justice for french citizens and one for

presidential workers. if we accept that anyone can pretend to be a police officer we no longer live under state rule of law well who is alexander but what we know about him is that he has been politically active since his twenty's now he was a security aide to some of france's previous ministers but he joined the mark on presidential campaign back in two thousand and sixteen he is an aide to marco chief of staff and he is normally the person in charge of security arrangements he's often seen with the president might call active vents just a few meters away it's plain see a video of plenty of videos of the two together this is a man who really has the president right next to him almost all the time that he's on official duties now this is the official statement that these a palace has made this morning in regards to the situation he has been suspended for fifteen days without pay he has been relieved of his functions regarding the

organization of security for the president's movements this sanction is punishment for unacceptable behavior and constitutes a final warning it is the most serious punishment ever administered to an aide working at the. well an investigation has been opened by the public prosecutor here in paris they are looking at a number of aspects which could lead to formal charges of violence by a public official illegal use of a police insignia because he was wearing a police insignia at one point during that may day protests and also pretending to be a police officer now that charge alone if it's made if he's found guilty carries a sentence of up to a year in jail and a fifteen thousand euro fine. while the french president seems to be dodging a response on the growing scandal and brushed off any damage done by the you brought the discussion back to the symbol of france. i do not know what you want to go from even to islam again at the end of it but it's

a good message of i don't know not that i could be getting ready to get out of. the news the viral video this is america has been parodied by a form of iraqi descent we spoke to the man behind this is iraq this is some. guy just live another. just live a number of put up with another bizarre way. corrupting the every year for whatever force is still real thing we can take every year there are some barrels and barrels or barrels and barrels leave and the demolished delivered the mission accomplished . there is a fuel source issue between america and iraq given that the us led invasion of iraq is a major contributing factor to where we are today i think it was just sort of the perfect drop for this trip to be done on the back of a truck about america when if you manage it it's a bit. better see through our politics to agree to do the movie over little

something and i feel like we can be pretty good. in the track itself and just raising awareness and i think that's important i've had people come up to me and it's only an example before of using awareness and getting you know getting in were familiar with the subject that they would sort of loop because they were too young at the time when the when the invasion happens of this trick and just that one person in a positive manner and sort of get along and the conversation going then sort of it's achieved at school and i'm in the theater and releasing a. russian defense ministries and failed video of this new generation of weapons in action some of the world's most powerful armaments are now operational operational in the russian military i guess the it takes a closer look at the new arsenal. when putin announced this new arsenal it came out of nowhere seemed like side five overkill to some but you know we now

have videos of each. kindle or dagger and russian is a hypersonic missile and it's fast really fast flies at three kilometers a second and if anything should is to shoot it down it dodges to maneuvering flying in an unpredictable trajectory weld first by the way the u.s. plans to test its own analogue next year. this is the overkilled bought a new nuclear i.c.b.m. that carries get this twenty nuclear warheads the real a slow is its range which is practically unlimited where past nuclear missiles had to use the shortest flight path and fly through ed defenses this thing can literally fly to the south pole and back up to hit that stargate from behind.

if for whatever reason you don't feel like flying through and. there's adam god and it's designed to literally ram its way through enemy anti missile defenses with speed first it's lifted into space then its engines turn on and it enters the atmosphere at knock twenty that's roughly seven kilometers a second. poseidon the greek god of the she may be gone but he's got a no less terrifying successor a nuclear powered paedo that travels so deep and so fast it's in theory undefeatable. brevets nick a new nuclear powered nuclear capable cruise missile it's literally powered by

a nuclear reactor on board inside the misselling meaning it's got indefinite range so long as the reactor has fuel it can stay airborne float around and around until the opportunity to strike. combat lasers have always been a cool science fiction gimmick but they never really got doing the science and technical requirements were too great until now it seems it is yet named after a russian warrior monkeys a laser weapons system designed to deliver incredible amounts of energy in a small area so shoot down all melt down and incoming drew nor jethro shell for example other than that not much known yet. now one might ask isn't all that is just begging for an arms race is russia each in

for a fight no says putin it's all about balance balance means peace the four things were even russia and the us had nuclear parity mutually assured destruction then after the u.s.s.r. collapsed nato began to expand began to field new weapons that could destroy russian nukes what putin unveiled is russia's a return to military equality status quo a return to balance. israeli parliament has passed a contentious bill that defines the countries the nation state of the jewish people critics say it essentially diminishes the status of the country's arab citizens polis lir has more. but it effectively does is it enshrines in the israel basic law the concept that israel is the historic homeland of the jewish people and they have

exclusive right to national self-determination now supporters say that it equates jewish values with democratic values it puts them on an equal footing but critics and there are many say that it effectively discriminates against the country's arab population who make up some twenty percent and other minorities now you have for example now in law the fact that hebrew is the official language of the country arabic is given the status of special status and has effectively been downgraded there were hours of debate in the israeli knesset the israeli parliament prior to this contentious nation state being passed into law a particularly content part of the ball is the whole idea of israeli or jewish settlements now there was a lot of debate about this in the past it was changed because the charge was put forward that it promotes secret ation but even with the change critics complain because now for example they say it promotes jewish settlements it caused so much anger in the parliament that arab members of parliament actually ripped the bill to

shreds. this is an evil law black flag hovers over it this is a law over which harbors a black flag. now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that this is a pivotal moment in the history of zionism and israel. this is a historic moment in the history of zionism and the history of the state of israel israel is the national state of the jewish people and national state respects the rights of individuals the rights of all citizens and in the middle east only israel respects these rights so today we have written the law in stone now the ball was first proposed back in two thousand and eleven and over the years controversial as it is it has seen a number of rewrites and parallel proposals the countries. minister netanyahu has always supported it and for years he has vowed that eventually it will be passed into law and that's what we've seen happening now with a lot of reaction. this law creates

a lot of problems is very all the conflicts come from this law i'm totally against it will repeal this law and say it's a country forever. of my life but it's about time to have this law which says we're the nation of the jews in the state of israel this is our country it's our language and think the arabs should not feel that there is racism that they get privileges there should be a jewish israeli nationality the state of israel the arabs cannot do things against jews in this state and they should be part of the place and not go against. this law has no meaning we will leave with the arabs another two thousand years we're leaving with them well and they have a good life here in fact there is no problem it's all talk which politicians not to do well. and i can from the jerusalem center for public affairs told us that the law is not discriminatory. shift in status merely allows israel to in

shrine in the law that hebrew is the official language of the state arabic is a language with special status meaning any kind of institution organisation association will continue to have arabic as a special language and the islam as a culture the muslim religion as a religion as well as the arab national status of israel's arab minority will be preserved one hundred percent the only difference here is that the government and the knesset wanted to underscore the importance of having a jewish emblem as the official emblem a jewish the jewish language of thirty seven hundred years which is hebrew as the official language jewish holidays is the official holidays just like scores of other countries around the world it is absolutely not discriminatory whatsoever. have them all white followers in south africa now considering emigrating is cases

of violence against them rise that some see russia as being a suitable place to resettle and start over. are descendants of dutch speaking saddle heirs of the eastern cape frontier in south africa and much of the one nine hundred century. people moved inland in the nineteenth century they tried to act in the way they were surveyed they tried to negotiate negotiate officially they tried to avoid conflict the land in this area for example was never taken of them they can buy words from the legs with violence or in an unjust law.

the exploration of land or you point by point settlers of the sixteenth century without compensation is in visitors one of the measures that we will use to exhilarate redistribution of land to black south africa. i recently visited russia with my family to explore possibilities of recycling in the area and i know that the growth in agricultural production is immense in russia so i think it's the right time to buy in to agriculture russia and i think there is a lot of to ensure. the reason our constituents are very immigration is honestly because i see a dark cloud. over a future that the reality is that we do fear for our lives and the reality is that a white farmer is a deck to every day and so that. my grandfather. was

murdered on this form the government has said we're responsible for creating the club. of and they're going there's a wards what. we already have a plan for a settlement of roughly five hundred families with their own cattle near suburbs. in the meantime south african president several rum opposer said that land reform should be not seen as a threat and called on bows to stay. that wraps things up for this news hour job to the very latest headlines the top of them.

when we were doing stuff in the russell brand you know we highlighted one of the payday lenders in the u.k. and they in fact closed up shop and that was very effective and it's one of the most pernicious and ugliest and underhanded way to destroy a society is by letting a they blunders you know exploit the fact that they can get away with two thousand three thousand fourteen thousand dollars or thirty percent a year interest. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamp in each dish. eighty five percent of the global wealth you want to be culled from rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per

second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember a one to one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom box. bomb. welcome to worlds apart from the darkest day in the history of the american presidency to the national trees and there is no shortage of dramatic trams to

describe the outrage some in the united states feel in the aftermath of the put in trump meeting in helsinki regardless of the leader's intentions did they do indeed add insult to injury and further crippled the u.s. russia relationship by driving critics up the wall well to discuss that i'm now joined by graham allison professor at the john f. kennedy school of government at harvard university and former u.s. assistant secretary of defense professor alison it's a great honor talking to you thank you very much for your time right pleasure to be here well professor allison as i was following the news out of helsinki i thought that the united states ought to declare a june sixteenth as the national outrage day because i honestly don't remember so much spite and venom over in policy terms at least nothing there were annoyed agreements signed in helsinki trying didn't hand the keys from the white house to put in and yet the coverage of this meeting was as if he solved he's entire country to an enemy where do you stand on these do you think trump indeed committed treason

by engaging putin. well obviously that's an exaggeration but in the world of trump most everything is exaggerated so you are correct in saying that top his antics at helsinki has driven his critics up the wall or led them to you know excesses of all sorts so they saw almost as if they deserve each other so trump is the most unusual idiosyncratic leader that we've seen he's in the midst of a very stern serious struggle at home with people who are hoping to impeach him and this is when for trying to interpret it from moscow you've got to realize this is a reflection of a fundamental struggle that's going on within the u.s. as you listen to the noises well we said there.
