the emergency was standing five hundred meters away they could easily see that civilians were around a few minutes later they began bombing the area and killing people i deadly airstrike kills fourteen in afghanistan with children among the victims i think speaks to witnesses at the scene. is launching a new twenty four seven for c. language t.v. channel that will span 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 and media campaign against toronto. and investigative journalist group redfish shine a light on germany's secret slave on the trade.

mentions the least he can understand of an extensive to toss on. as a headlong called the tired all. day i'll make. a warm welcome it's ten am here in the russian capital new watching r.t. international with me if you are right now our top story this hour fourteen people including children have been killed in an ass strike in afghanistan and what was meant to be a military operation against the taliban is not yet clear if it was carried out by afghan or u.s. craft he spoke to witnesses at the scene a warning some viewers may find the following images to stop. the understand i don't want to predict what is going to come nowhere near where we're going to go no

one with the let's get ready for a cure you don't want to look at though that you were not suited it's not going to . most of the dead are women and children afghan officials say the u.s. said it conducted airstrikes in the area but had cause no civilian casualties were down three have reports after seventeen years the nile is 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 at first they wouldn't let us drink out the dead and injured. foreigners didn't visit this area. they are lying a delegation came here from the local governments 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. in the standing five hundred meters away they could easily see that civilians were around a few minutes later they began bombing the area and killing people. i saw the bombardment with my own eyes the americans first used artillery they bombarded my home and my aunt's home without giving us

a chance to flee. then they used to big bombs and we felt like we were in hell all around us was covered by gunpowder and dust my sister and all my family members were unconscious. first the shell the area where there was an aircraft bombarded it with three bombs there are twelve and one wounded we dug out the victims from the rubble with one missing were found a hand and shoulders and you other parts of one martyr and buried him. the victims in the house owner's wife and daughter in law through. those 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

an arson so and no proof that there were taliban fighters here 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 i've seen no one help the family i've lived here for a long time during care which times and now and they've never seen anyone given 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 spittle 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 airstrike again denied that even offered a thorough investigation and again eventually ended up apologizing the

u.s. department of defense as well as nato and the u.n. are still to comment further comment further on the incident antiwar activist richard becker says 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 this one it can do so we hear oh they were all terrorists at 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 we 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 donald trump has lashed out at iran he tweeted on sunday that to wrong should not threaten the u.s. allies it would face serious consequences and his relations between the countries continue to deteriorate the u.s. now has iran's media and its sites there covertly plotting terror 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 camping to cut off the funds that the regime uses to enrich itself and support death and destruction to b.g. 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. lights policy and now to discuss this further paulo good to see you what else is the u.s.

have in store for iran. well the situation between the united states and iran remains extremely tense and as we see now happening the u.s. has set its sights on the u.s. media in terms of how to deal with as we've heard the announcement from the u.s. secretary of state that they are launching a twenty four seven saucy channel it will be under the banner of the b. b. g. which stands for the board cost of board of governors this comprises different radio and t.v. outlets and back in two thousand and sixteen at received a budget of some seven hundred and fifty million dollars now what we're hearing is that this new fasi channel will also be available on digital and on social media and we hope the u.s. secretary of state say that for forty years the iranian people had been subjected to hearing from the leaders about what a great satan the united states was and that now finally they wouldn't have to subject themselves to fake news but trying to saying this also say that the you

know states was undertaking a tough measures against iran of course these comments has prompted an immediate angry reaction from tehran. for the way we. do not play with the line or else you will regret it. now compare also said that the united states was not afraid to challenge you ran with sanctions at the highest level and he called on other countries to also jointly combine in these economic sanctions you also went on to say that the united states was undertaking a diplomatic and financial pressure campaign against iran that they were planning on cutting off funds to so that to quote the regime would no longer be able to involve itself in death and destruction you also said that they would put in maximum pressure on the regime's ability to regenerate and means money now of course we're waiting to hear what other measures the united states is planning on

putting in place we know for example for the next round of sanctions goes into effect on the fourth of august so certainly relations between the two countries increasingly tense ok paula thank you for those details those paulus lee is speaking to us live from tel aviv. a hard one nuclear deal was struck between global powers and iran back in two thousand and fifteen in its run 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 other signatories are determined that the agreement stays in place former u.s. diplomat and jim dower trust says that the u.s. intentions in iran are 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's 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 and the eastern bloc and that radio broadcasting would be a catalyst for that. to me is one of the world's largest alms money five churches and exports is but investigative report is red faced claim that not all german arms also has a positive of that report and you can watch it in 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 the infamous heckler and koch to court they stand accused of illegally shipping weapons to conflicts on the heckler and koch trial. is not using that too often it's historic it's really historic because it shows the i would call it blasphemy this cheating of etiquettes of the german government because the german people like we strictest in arms trades 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 tourist guerrero's who 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. mentioned tend. to some. tired. 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 we're 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'll 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. israel is helping hundreds of members of the controversial white helmets rescue group flee syria we'll tell you why after this short break.

if. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing dramatic development is only going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. in a world of big partisan loot 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 on the shouting past each

other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back newly released us government documents so that the f.b.i. suspected that one time trump campaign advice a cause a page has close ties to russia the documents were released after a freedom of information act request from a group of media outlets that documents cover the reasons for why it's happening trumps for way the f.b.i. believes that page has been collaborating in conspiring with the russian government there is probable cause of such activities involved or about to involve violations of the criminal statutes of the united states. it's not clear from the heavily

redacted documents exactly why the cause of page should have been posed and the surveillance or the former trumpet 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 trump says the f.b.i. and department of justice misled the courts to obtain a warrant to spy on page he also says that the claims of collusion with russia are fabricated the documents do reveal the cost of page had lived in most for three years and in twenty sixteen they allege he met with senior russian officials to discuss sanctions on moscow and compromising information about hillary clinton but also to show that investigators have been looking into pages possible connections

with russia since two thousand and thirteen long before donald trump was named a presidential candidate but a tickle commentator gina loudon says there were insufficient grounds for the surveillance placed on constipate there has been nothing no one indicted no evidence whatsoever of any sort of pollution you know the media has started to conflate meddling and collusion 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 ca should not be a vehicle to

a fighter 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 this story and the fact that there's zero evidence zero indictments based on anything even close to collusion. and then the events of prizes in the u.s. that have recently made political donations have rapidly found the business climate improved for them raising the question of cost versus correlation r.t.c. goshdarn of takes a look. 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 to crunch unfun . surely completely unrelated to their generous donation a tennessee member of congress is accused of setting up a study to keep an emissions rule loophole intact which serves business interests over a 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 the. video on. this is.

believed to be you know. if. there is a bad boy in the grave or. the would be. good what you just heard is reportedly a georgia gov candidate admitting he back to bill he himself 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. we had a hierarchy in my office in congress if you were low beasts who never gave us money i didn't talk to you if you were low beast who gave us money and 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 also says such 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 a way of contracts and that explains why. donors are so happy to part with sums that seem large one hundred thousand dollars or a million dollars so we 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 our projects that manifestly did not create a single job we 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 this been piled on this global economy has got to a point where people around the world should velvia what happened to all this money why are people trying to buy these politicians it should be a really long jail sentence type crime or 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. the israeli prime minister says that his country initiated the evacuation of the controversial white helmets group in syria at the request of donald trump and other western allies the white helmets operate in rebel held areas and have been linked to jihad this group. several days to go and trump contacted me as did the canadian prime minister true and request. to hundreds of white helmets from syria these are people who saved

lives and whose lives were in danger for passage through israel to other countries is an important humanitarian gesture. israel evacuated over four hundred members of the group and their families to neighboring jordan after candidate 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 are located the white helmets described themselves as a civil defense organization saying their mission is to save the lives of ordinary people in syria however they face wide criticism in particular over funding as most of it comes from the u.s. and other western countries.

in addition to the evacuation of the white helmets the area has seen hundreds of militants and their families moved to the rebel held north the evacuation comes as the syrian army army advances along the country's southern border with jordan the area has long been held by western backed militants seeking to overthrow president assad but as a billy who is an independent investigative investigative journalist wonders why the white helmets are more privileged when it comes to evacuation then ordinary syrian civilians this is an exceptional of right here

a show and it's an exceptional evacuation for an exceptional organization created by the exceptional list 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 be 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 host them. we love to hear your thoughts on all of our stories so do get in touch by following us on social media and join us again at the top of the alpha the latest.
