to understand our extensive start to talk as long. as a long calls have tired. of their own. a warm welcome is eleven am here in the russian capital and you are watching r t international with me becky erin and 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. r.t. spoke to witnesses at the scene a warning you may find the following images distressing. the understand that i'm going to put it on this on the car no one knew you were the only car no one was in the let's put your don't want to look it over i don't see what you want to know.

most of the dead are women and children afghan officials say the u.s. said it conducted as strikes in the area that had caused no civilian casualties my galaxy ever ports 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 in first they wouldn't let

a stink 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. 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 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 bomb 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. on the first shell the area where the. aircraft bombarded it with three bombs. and one wounded we dug out the victims from the rubble with one missile found the hand and shoulders and you other parts of one mark and buried him. the victims in the house owner's 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 an arson so and 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 with a.q. the taliban. no no i've seen no one help from and i've lived here for a long time during which time some now and i've never seen anyone give an eight. province which is partly controlled by the taliban has a history of strikes go in a straight in two thousand and fifteen when the us had the doctors without borders ospel 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 strike again denied that even offered a thorough investigation and again eventually ended up apologizing in

response to a request from r.t. nato repeated it statements that no civilian casualties resulted from the u.s. as strikes i think that they anticipate details from an afghan investigative team in the coming days 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 that is when 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 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 to try and pass lashed out at it wrong he tweeted on sunday that two wrong should not threaten the u.s. otherwise it will face serious consequences and its relations between the countries continue to deteriorate the u.s. now has a wrong media and it cites their 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 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 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 us media in terms of how to deal with this we've heard the announcement from the u.s. secretary of state that they launch a twenty four seven fast channel that it was under the banner of the big g. which stands for the forecast of a lot of governors this comprises different radio and t.v. outlets and back in two thousand and sixteen it received a budget of some seven hundred and fifty million dollars now what we're hearing is that this new fossil channel will also be available on digital and on social media and we hope the u.s. secretary of state say the full forty years the iranian people had been subjected to hearing from their 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 tried to saying this also say that the you know states was undertaking tough measures against iran of course these comments has prompted an immediate angry reaction from tehran. but you do not blame you would be

lying or else you will regret it. now compare also said that the united states was not afraid to challenge iran with sanctions at the highest level and he called on other countries to also jointly combine in these economic sanctions he 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 quote the regime would no longer be able to involve itself in death and destruction he also said that they were putting maximum pressure on the regime's ability to regenerate and move 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 that the next round of sanctions goes into effect on the fourth of august so certainly relations between the two countries increasingly tense. one hundred one nuclear deal was struck between global powers under iran

back in two thousand and fifty and it's iran agreed to some limitations to its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions being lifted but the us you know last really withdrew from the agreement in may at the signatories are determined that the agreement stays in place for me u.s. diplomat says that a 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 has regime in the same way that communism fell in soviet union and eastern bloc and that radio broadcasting would

be a catalyst for that. germany is one of the world's largest arms manufacturers and export is but investigative reporters redfish claim that not all german arms all sold legally here's a pos of that report and you can watch it in full on youtube. in open the mentor to understand of understand that to tell i saw him. as a long call had tired. of playing element. 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 a miss heckler and koch to court they stand accused of illegally shipping weapons

to conflicts a 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 german people eagle 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 the company is incredibly hostile the media interest in 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 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. i cloud. you don't want to say something. i mean 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. israel has helped hundreds of members of the controversial white helmets rescue group please syria or tell you why off to this break. out what hopes it has to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so if you want to present injury. or some want to be preached . to the right to be press this is what before freedom or can't be good. i'm interested always in the why is it out. there soon.

welcome back newly released u.s. government documents say that the f.b.i. suspected that one time trunk campaign advisor carter page has close ties to russia the documents were released after a freedom of information act request from a group of media outlets documents cover their reasons for wiretapping trumps

former aide 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 is not clear from the heavily redacted documents exactly why i talked to page should have been put under surveillance while the former trump eight himself says the accusations against him are a complete joke this is so ridiculous it's just beyond words it's just so 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 continue this 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 cause of page had lived in moscow for three

years and in two thousand and sixteen they allege he met with senior russian officials to discuss those functions on moscow and compromising information about hillary clinton but also showed 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 political commentator gina loudon says there were insufficient grounds for the surveillance placed on 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 in 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 feisal weren't but since we're talking about this the thing that i think that everybody forgets who is looking at this is 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. a number of enterprises in the u.s. that have recently made political donations have rapidly found the business climate improved for them it investigates. 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 to

a tennessee member of congress is accused of setting up a study to keep an emissions little 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 the. behavior bureau. is in bed but. you're going to be given. what you just heard is reportedly a georgia governor candidate admitting he back to bill he. 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 lot of this 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 were never gave us money i didn't talk to you if you were low because 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. the israeli prime minister says that his country initiated the evacuation of the controversial white helmets klute from syria they request of donald trump and other western allies the white house and its operate in rebel held areas and have been linked to jihad is groups. if there be one hundred days to go and trump contacted me as did canadian prime minister true and request.

to hundreds of white helmets from syria these are people who have saved lives and whose lives. for our passage through israel to other countries is an important humanitarian gesture. is relevant he waited over four hundred members of the group and their families to neighboring jordan after canada or 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 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 family is moved to the rebel held north the evacuation comes as the syrian 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 bally his an independent investigative journalist wonders why the white helmets are low privileged when it comes to evacuation then ordinary syrian civilians this is an exception no i'm right here and shyness 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 it's been 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. well there were dotty let's get your take on all stories so do get in touch by following us on social media join us again of the top of the hour for all of the latest headlines see them.
