the emergency was standing five hundred meters away they could still use the receivers will swirl around because human it's going to they've been gambling that i really couldn't do it with the goods in a deadly air strike killed fourteen in afghanistan with children among the victims r.t. speaks to locals at the sea. be watching a new twenty four seven four c. language t.v. channel that will expand not only television but radio digital and social media format after withdrawing from the a wrong nuclear deal and threatening new sanctions the u.s. now launches a media campaign against tehran. and israel evacuates members of the controversial white helmets rescue group from syria to resettle them

further in canada and here are at the request of western allies. a warm welcome and a very good morning to you it's eight am here in the russian capital and you're watching r.t. international with me mccarron. fourteen people including children have been killed in an air strike in afghanistan in what was meant to be a military operation against the taliban is not yet clear if it was carried out by an afghan owned u.s. aircraft are t.v.'s or to the scene of the attack most of the dead all reportedly women and children afghan officials say the u.s. says it conducted airstrikes in the area but had caused no civilian casualties locals we spoke to though had a very different opinion. explain. after seventeen years

the nile. it's propaganda by the enemy foreign troops are our friends and we don't target civilians u.s. forces did conduct strikes and on the ground assessments of those strikes reveals no indications they caused civilian casualties. taliban propaganda they claimed with an on the ground assessment to prove it who can argue with that almost sounds like the results of a scientific experiment would have helped of course of that actually visited the place. the americans never visited this area and i'm witness to this national defense forces visited the area to check in first they wouldn't let us think out the dead and injured. foreigners didn't visit this area. they are lying a delegation came here from the local governance and security officials ok so if

you think that locals all of them at their word it's the afghan army that lied to the american troops it wasn't until the neighbors relatives erupted in outrage that authorities admitted to potential civilian deaths even the un is on the case so what actually happened. standing five hundred meters away they could easily see that civilians were around a few minutes later they began bombing the area killing people. i saw the plane apartment with my own eyes the americans first used artillery bombarded my home i aunt's home without leaving as a chance to flee. then they used a big part of what i felt like we were in a hell of a round as was covered by gunpowder and. my sister and all my family members were unconscious in the. first shell the area. an aircraft bombarded it with three bombs. and one of. the victims from the rubble.

found the hand and shoulders and other parts of one mark and buried him. the victims in the house and his wife and daughter in law. three daughters four grandchildren two sons and more difficult to spin them as enemy fighters even with the pentagon's notorious guilty until proven innocent casualty counting mechanism and locals survivors don't have a lot of faith in justice. my expectations are that they would tell us it was all of them and i've seen no proof that they were taliban fighters this is not the first time. they always kill civilians and never give us a chance to speak up so that they can say that they killed the taliban. no no no

i've seen no one how. i've lived here for a long time you don't care which times and i've never seen anyone give an eight. province which is partly controlled by the taliban has a history of strikes going astray in two thousand and fifteen when the us had the doctors without borders or support killing forty two the pentagon denied that at first until eventually barack obama himself had to apologize in the last year when the u.n. investigation found that the u.s. had killed ten civilians in a different air strike again denied that even offered a thorough investigation and again eventually ended up apologizing. we asked the u.s. department of defense to comment on the situation as well as nato and the u.n. and he were activist richard becker say's it's business as usual for the u.s. . well i think there's been hundreds and hundreds of such incidents in afghanistan

every single time we hear of one of these incidents like this that is when it can do so we hear they were all terrorists first and then someone goes out media go out in the interview the villagers and they say no they were just villagers and then the military says well will conduct an investigation and then it's off into the ether and you know very little ever happens no matter how terrible the atrocities are but this pattern happens over and over again and no matter what kind of apologies or excuses they're given that it's repeated and it's repeated and repeated over and over again. passed lashed out at a wrong hey tweeted on sunday that to wrong should not threaten the u.s. otherwise it would face serious consequences and this relations between the countries continue to deteriorate the u.s. now has iran's media and its sites there covertly plotting terrorist attacks in the

heart of europe destroying israel at the core of the regime's ideology that's committed supported many acts of violence and terrorism against both countries now the united states is undertaking a diplomatic and financial pressure campaign to cut off the funds that the regime uses to enrich itself and support death and destruction the b.b.c. is launching a new twenty four seven four c. language t.v. channel that will span not only television but radio digital and social media format so that ordinary iranians inside of iran and around the globe can know that america stands with them. the u.s. secretary of state also said america is not afraid to challenge iran with sanctions at the highest levels he's also called on other countries to join the economic pressure on iran and turn to ron says the u.s. may regret its decision. on the machine was he did not play with the lines around you will regret it. the hard won nuclear deal was struck between global powers and

iran back in two thousand and fifteen and its iran agreed to some limitations to its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions being lifted but the u.s. unilaterally withdrew from the agreement in may at the signatories on determined that the agreement stays in place former u.s. diplomat jim doctrine says that the u.s. intentions in iran all clear it wants regime change i think the symbolism of giving this speech at the reagan library was that he was drawing an analogy to the fall of communism and somehow that he says regime change is not the goal but frankly from what he describes it seems to me that it amounts to regime change would have to be entirely different motive governance in iran from what he describes to satisfy what he laid out so i think he's basically saying that we want to support a popular movement to bring down the ayatollah was regime in the same way that

communism fell in soviet union eastern bloc and that radio broadcasting would be a catalyst for that one a number of enterprises in the us that have recently made political donations have rapidly found the business climate improve for them raising the question of cause versus coronation dawn of takes them to. it's no secret you need money to win a political race if you're an american politician donation is key but don't fret there are always business sharks happy to support you cause you just have to find your match and here are the lucky ones who already did. the new york governor for instance was blessed with a hundred thousand dollars from the coffers of the winklevoss twins co-founders of facebook and now cryptocurrency moguls what an act of generosity of good faith and what an act of good faith from the new york authorities approving the crypto

currency exchange for the twins. correlation doesn't mean causation of course but there's a clear countrywide pattern here in florida to act which if donated to the campaign of the incumbent governor and later those same firms were approved two hundred and fifty million dollar investment from the state's pension fund. surely completely unrelated to their generous donation a tennessee member of congress is accused of setting up a study to keep an emissions will loophole intact which serves business interests over the truck dealership which yes donated to her campaign. and while the quid pro quo relationships above can only be seen as allegations the next one is a taped confession that the. behavior

bureau. is in bed with the be. the with. the what you just heard is reportedly a georgia governor candidate admitting he back to bill him. self realized was disastrous just to make sure his opponent doesn't get the money from a law being firm to fund his campaign what is an open secret as well is that a low base job is to pay the right people otherwise those people won't even listen to them. the hierarchy in my office in congress if you are low beast who never gave us money i didn't talk to you if you were to give us money i might talk to you of course businesses will give assurances left and right that they get into politics because they care but practice shows those bedfellows are shall we say more than

cozy political analyst charles a little says that a waste of money should be considered as a crime. what we see in government the scale of spending in government is so vast in the united states we spend six trillion dollars a year all in now a lot of that's on social benefits about true two trillion dollars a year on social benefits but we purchase our government purchase lots and lots in the way of contracts and that explains why. donors are so happy to part with sums that seem large a hundred thousand dollars or a million dollars they do that because under the obama administration as a recent example in the stimulus plan i think almost a trillion dollars eight hundred billion dollars was spent by our government are projects that manifestly did not create a single job where did all that money go nobody seems to know and this kind of stuff happens all across the united states government sadly i think it happens in

many governments around the world and you know the debt that's been piled on this global economy has got to a point where people around the world should velvety ask what happened to all this money why are people trying to buy these politicians it should be a really long jail sentence type crime to engage in this type of political corruption there ought to be incentives to expose it and to get this money back to the taxpayer so we can pay down our debts. israeli prime minister has said that his country initiated the evacuation of the controversial white helmets group from syria at the request of donald trump and other western allies. if they haven't heard him in several days to go and trump contacted me as did canadian prime minister trudeau and request. hundreds of white helmets from syria these are people who have saved lives and whose lives were in danger therefore i

approved the passage through israel to other countries is an impudent humanitarian gesture. israel evacuated over four hundred members of the group and their families to neighboring jordan after canada britain and germany reportedly agreed to accept at least some of them as refugees syrian government forces have launched an offensive against militants in the south of the country where members of the group were located. upon request of the u.s. canada and european states israel has completed a humanitarian effort to rescue members of the syrian civil war going on is ation the white helmets and families they were evacuated from the war zone in southern syria to a neighboring country now the idea of has caught us to quote an exceptional humanitarian gesture it has said that it carried out this evacuation at the request of the united states and several european countries and that the requests where he came several weeks ago at this belonging to the white helmets consider themselves

rescuers who risked their lives to hope to save civilians but the organization remains controversial particularly over where its funding comes most of its funding is from the west and as such it is criticized as being an organization that promotes a waste an interventionist agenda for example more than thirty two million dollars comes from the united states it also receives funding from the netherlands from denmark germany canada and new zealand.

now we're still waiting for russian reaction but when the first reports emerged a few days ago over this planned evacuation the russian foreign ministry said that there was concern over so-called provocations that could happen during such a move but me she seemed far more artsy according to the information we have the one helmets convoy arrived in the town of and among the end rivals were several chemical experts miss elssler missile parts were also unloaded we do not rule out the possibility that these shall we say souvenirs and looted by the white helmets will be used as intended target even when is the now is that these members of the white helmets have been evacuated from the region so we cannot rule out the possibility of a large here collocation and pinning the blame for this procreation on the syrian government now with all these controversies surrounding the watch helmets they certainly are risks and could be more risks around the sea of accusation in addition to the evacuation of the white helmets the area has seen hundreds of millicent's and their families move to the rebel held north the evacuation comes as

the syrian army advances in the country's southern border with jordan the area has long been held by western backed militants seeking to overthrow president assad for less a billy who's an independent investigative journalist wonders why the white helmets are more privileged when it comes to evacuation than ordinary syrian civilians. this is an exceptional iraqi ration it's an exceptional evacuation for an exceptional organization created by the exceptional left regimes in the united states and in the u.k. and in the e.u. the nato member states but also supported by particularly qatar and saudi arabia we saw or. protest by the u.n. agencies or demands rather that the white home it's in fact curated and given priority in a fact over civilians and that's what we're seeing now is saying syrian civilians being left at the border of israel on the border of jordan while the white how much

are again being given exceptional progress through those two countries and on to the countries that are supposedly going to house them all of that with more news from all across the world after this quick break. and when i was sure seemed wrong. wrong just don't call. me the world yet to ship out just to get a ticket and in detroit because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

to prepare the program i had to look at a lot of material listened to a lot of material and also read a lot of material that. was appalling. and not only that when you get these images into your head and of course the images that i was you were far more graphic than anything i could include enough in a television. welcome back newly released us government documents suggest that one time trump campaign advisor carter page had close ties to russia these documents come from an information request to the foreign intelligence surveillance court they cover the reasons for wiretapping trumps former aide the f.b.i.

believes that page has been collaborating and conspiring with the russian government there is probable cause of such activities involved or about to involve violation of the criminal statutes of the united states is not clear from the heavily redacted documents and why can't a page should have been put under surveillance well the former trump aide himself says the accusations against him are a complete joke. this is so ridiculous it's just beyond words it's just so misleading going through those four hundred plus page documents you know where do you even begin it's literally a complete joke and it only continues it's just really sad president reacted to the documents released by claiming the f.b.i. and department of justice had misled the court to obtain a warrant to spy on page he also says that the claims of collusion with russia are fabricated the documents do reveal that coulter page lived in moscow for three

years and in two thousand and sixteen they allege he met with senior russian officials to discuss the sanctions on moscow and compromising information about hillary clinton they also show that investigators have been looking into page's possible connections with russia since two thousand and thirteen low before donald trump had been named a presidential candidate political commentator gina london told us she doesn't believe there were sufficient grounds for the surveillance of carter page. there has been nothing no one indicted no evidence whatsoever of any sort of pollution you know the media has started to conflate meddling inclusion those are not the same things this is shocking to watch as an american perhaps most of all shocking to watch how some on the left and in the media on the left are not even shocked because they should be because this isn't like america the way they're treating this president feisal were and should be the hardest thing in the world to

obtain for the american government to spy on a private american citizen should be the absolute most difficult thing ever certainly if a question does he should not be a vehicle to a feisty weren't the motivation for the story that the left keeps telling makes absolutely no sense when you consider all of the disconnects that exist in the story and the fact that there's zero evidence zero indictments based on anything even close to collusion. germany is one of the world's largest arms manufacturers and export is but investigative reporters redfish claim that not all german arms are sold legally here's part of that report that you can watch you can watch him full on youtube.

germany gets a lot of praise for its reasonable approach to politics but the german government has a dirty secret while germany prides itself on having some of the toughest arms export laws on the planet it's actually the fourth biggest arms exporter in the world lawyer holder wrought by hour has taken one of the country's major on as manufacturers and one of the world's biggest small arms producers infamous heckler and koch to court they stand accused of illegally shipping weapons to conflicts heckler and koch trial. is not using that word too often it's historic it's a really historic because it shows the i would call it blasphemy this cheating of etiquettes of the german government because the term and people like we strictest in arms trade and we're really looking carefully well weapons go six former heckler and koch employees all the way up to then c.e.o.

peter buyer there are in the dark d.-e. legal on shipments they're accused of include sixteen batches of g thirty six assault rifles some of which ended up being used in a tragedy which shook the world. in two thousand and fourteen forty three students became collateral in mexico's bloody war on drugs when they were kidnapped by corrupt police who handed them over to the new tory years guerrero's to needles drug cartel at least several of the students were killed by the heckler and koch rifles all this extra attention has been an extremely uncomfortable experience for a heckler and koch the company is incredibly hostile the media interest and public attention it didn't take long for the police to arrive to stop us from filming in the town's residents were particularly enthusiastic to speak to a seal. in open the mentioned tend. to tell as i'm. as. tired. as.

oberndorf residents have good reason to be fearful of heckler and koch raising the lawn has come with great personal cost to the whistleblower at the heart of this case. by client here lost his family he lost his job he had to leave the country he was frightened. understandable if you were part of an arms producer so you could imagine how they could get rid of fuel we approached heckler and koch multiple times to discuss the allegations cited in this report unfortunately despite all our efforts heckler and koch were very happy to see us. like wow. you don't want to say something. to me to get an export license german arms manufacturers have to go through several government ministries who will check that

the shipment destination isn't subject to any sort of ban by german law if it is in the arms company's application fails then they have another option they can appeal to the federal security council and here's where things get interesting this council is made up of a handful of senior ministers who sit down with the german chancellor angela merkel in a secretive meeting where they review the application and decide whether to approve it or not the details of this meeting are never made public there is no media presence or independence group and because this process is so opaque it's impossible to know whether it's vulnerable to corruption systems or. in the name of the german government this is. crazy. it's immoral and unbelievable. what herod r.t.

we love to hear your thoughts on all of our stories so do get in touch by following us on social media we'll be back at the top of the hour with all the latest headlines we see that. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic developments only really going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful in a very critical time to sit down and talk. you know world of big. lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to

dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. on sophie shevardnadze as propaganda has entrapped a lot of men and women of european origin enticing them to join the terror called their you top in promises. of the golden globe and bafta winning british director

spent months researching their stories and just recently presented a film the state about critics who travel to this la mixtape. well his make yesterday. state public ultraviolence only to wage war and then sleep everyone around it. seems like hell to most people but its claim to pure islam never failed or drug supporters from around the world what happened to the new recruits once they get to the caliphate what is life like under the strict moral police and the constant threat of an airstrike and what happens to those who ship their religions about the state after their eyes have enough. care cuz minsky welcome to the show it's really great to have you on our program so here are your film this state which is about british muslims going to join isis has been criticised for giving terrorists a human face now i get it that you wanted to nuanced look he wanted the people to

understand more about the issue how do you poor the public to relate to join isis where do we even begin to sympathize with people who join a death cult how do you find a human angle there well it's difficult obviously i think asking people to sympathize with them is difficult. the problem we're facing over here in this country is that there's a very sort of simplistic response to some of these incidents which is they're all insane they're all mad and we just kind of dismiss what's happening in that way i don't think that does a service to those who suffered and been injured and died at their hands actually i think we need to try to have a slightly more nuanced understanding of why people might possibly choose to do this thing and so we've attempted through extensive research to create characters that are a little bit.
