12:01 pm
hello there is seven pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international. says he is ready to travel to washington to meet donald trump he was speaking at the brics economic forum r.t. as you go to dan of reports now from the event in south africa now vladimir putin's media conference became something of a final note of this three day break summit here in johannesburg now the russian leader talking to the press focused a lot on what was achieved in such a short period of time here in south africa he talked about the deals all the agreements that were signed here but when it came to questions from journalists well somewhat inevitably the subject of his relationship with donald trump the u.s. leader came up there is of course in the context of their meeting in helsinki the question was basically whether or not the lattimer putin was ready for more of such meetings with his american counterparts and well. it was yes. we're
12:02 pm
ready for such meetings we are ready to invite president trying to russia he already has. invitation i told him about it and i'm ready to go to washington if the proper environment for work is established in general we'll have meetings on the sidelines of other upcoming forums. donald trump is quite a controversial figure of course but the russian president gave him some credit for putting his money where his words are according to the russian president donald trump he is at least trying to follow through on the promises he had made before he was elected back in twenty sixteen speaking about the bric summit as a whole its main focus was on trade wars and ironically enough donald trump was the subject of that is well because after all it is washington that is so trigger happy on imposing new tariffs on the e.u. and pretty much all least according to you i've spoken to a number of south african ministers here in johannesburg has spoken to
12:03 pm
a number of experts in the euro they've all said that world brics nations economies were in a way to a certain extent damaged by the tariffs imposed by washington but as always every cloud has a silver lining and so in this case it's the brics nations here in johannesburg stressing how they should stick together how these should bond with each other more and work closely so basically these sanctions are bringing the brakes member states closer to each other and also are encouraging other non member states to dealing more with the breaks nations instead of well seeking trade partners elsewhere so no doom and gloom here in johannesburg in these three days none of that scene and with the whole summit wrapping up on a rather upbeat note putin added his voice to that. the white house has said that donald trump is open to the idea of visiting moscow president peyton's invitation.
12:04 pm
now it seems they were killed chafed songe may have stayed his welcome at the ecuadorian embassy in london after the country's president said. he will need to leave the building and then chile the sun she's been holed up there since twenty twelve to avoid arrest and potential extradition to the u.s. to put this situation cannot go on forever a sense will eventually have to go right. yes indeed yes but his departure should come about through dialogue this isn't the first time we've heard speculation of a sergeant six year tenure at the ecuadorian embassy coming to an end it is the first time such hints have come from such a high official the president of ecuador himself saw and of course has been a asylum seeker effectively at the embassy since two thousand and twelve he fled there six years one month ago afraid that he would be extradited to the united states where he's wanted of course for publicly leaking those military and diplomatic cables which celebs war crimes and human rights violations now of course
12:05 pm
all this comes in the light of those reports about negotiations between the ecuadorian government and the british government to come to some sort of conclusion to bring this matter to an end the u.k. government has denied that this issue specifically was discussed during president rose recent visit to the u.k. but they have confirmed that negotiations have generally taken place and are continuing to take place to resolve the matter lamoriello himself it has to be said it's not a big fan of assad she's criticized him describing him as a stone in the shoe as. labeled as an inherited problem inherited because of course assad was granted asylum under the presidency of air now though from with this administration it has been far from smooth sailing for the whistleblower for a person to stay confined like that for so long is tantamount to
12:06 pm
a human rights violation the only concern i have is that i have never agreed with the sundries activity i don't agree with hacking private e-mails to be able to obtain. information no matter how valuable it is to expose certain undesirable acts of governments all people of course six years of confinement have taken their toll on our songs there have been concerns about his welfare just last month in fact foreign office minister alan duncan expressed those concerns to parliament stating assurances would be sought about his welfare should he leave the embassy saw an internet access was recently cut off and the visits available to him by third parties have also been limited leaving very much questions both from the public and the media about just how and when this six year saga will finally come to an end.
12:07 pm
the government loyal to tradition takes the safety of. the inside one of the diplomatic missions decided to give them a few. more . hours. i.
12:08 pm
was asian it was planted on the ground will descend into. did your income is empowered to grant national executive producer. because of great regret to the. door and it's about time this will work i'll be able to gave you sabra just. the former m i five intelligence officer and as of this development emea sanch case is a bad sign for the wiki leaks boss i think it's only worrying for us aren't yes there's no doubt about it because the incoming president in ecuador seems to see him as a problem he's also under pressure from the americans and for me international monetary fund to raise funding for his country and apparently it's been speculated reporters that been threats that this might be withheld if they don't if he does
12:09 pm
not resolve this our case but i think he's right to be worried about being extradited on with the united states where his organization wiki leaks has already been categorized by michael compare as a hostile intelligence agency where politicians been calling for his assassination for the death penalty for the rest of his life in prison and all for publishing just as any other media organization publishes so i think the concern is what the british will do and of course the british government isn't also a very difficult position that breaks it they can't afford to annoy their american cousins too much at this juncture of british history so it's a bit of a mess every which way. in other news tonight the un human rights chief is urged the west african nation of cameroon to investigate alleged abuses by become trees armed forces it comes after video of what appears to be the extra do dishes execution of two women and two women friends a number of rights groups have confirmed that the military was responsible for the atrocity
12:10 pm
a warning though you might find the following video obtained by the intercept distressing. it was really remarkable small to get all the arch. to obviously. risky. i said to. myself it is subtle family and that dud. now these shocking images show soldiers from cameroon executing women and children now a uniformed demand is narrating their actions he says that the women and children are part of the boko haram terrorist group after the first round of bullets one of the men wearing military fatigues acknowledges that one of the children is still alive so he shoots again first the government claimed that the video was fake news but now it's been reported that four soldiers have been detained keep in mind that cameroon is a key ally of the united states in the war on terror cameroon is advice to partner
12:11 pm
in the fights against boko haram isis west africa and other violent extremist organizations in the lake chad basin region a relationship with cameroon is designed to promote stability and security within the region now cameroon host hundreds of u.s. troops and a u.s. drone base and at this point the usa continues to supply cameroon with military planes and other assistance even though it's been pointed out by the ambassador to the country that the military has been involved in targeted killings there is going to start to cover the heirs to the summary executions the curfew to keep taking people. for years to their families even to this is. now the u.s. state department has expressed concerns over the video that seems to show one of its key allies committing a savage act of brutality we call on the government of cameroon to investigate
12:12 pm
thoroughly and transparently the events depicted in the video make its findings public and if cameroonian military personnel were involved in this is city hold them accountable this is hardly the first time that cameroon has raised the concerns of human rights groups and amnesty international report documented over one hundred cases of murder torture and abuse we used witness testimony and photographs from the social media accounts of. to digitally moto the site and locate incidents within it the arms and legs if they stay taney abound in a stress position known as the position. detainees report being held in this way for days at a time. and first there were reports that the u.s. state department had temporarily suspended aid to the country but the pentagon was quick to dispel those rumors there has been no change the assistance the department of defense provides to cameroon as a direct result of violence in the angle from regions of cameroon the united states
12:13 pm
constantly tells us that its foreign policies are about defending freedom it accuses geo political rivals of violating human rights but it looks like a hammer on a vast front of the pentagon has anything but a clean record they would mop and r.t. washington d.c. research the international claims and human rights violations by the country's army are systematic and go unpunished it is indeed one of two most shocking and despicable p.d.s. that i ever watched in my entire career we spent a lot of time at amnesty to analyze didio we have collected on testimony said information for our sources underground we have compounded these testimonies with the analysis of our experts including military experts in terms of weapons for example you can hardly be mistaken. the video depicts uniformed personnel
12:14 pm
from the army weapon such as in just over twenty one is a serbian made weapon consistent with those used by becoming. very surprised and shocked by the fact that the minister of communication s dismissed the d.d.s. fake news even before launching an investigation on the case and recorded systematic torture extrajudicial executions. arbitrary arrests cases of enforced disappearance and all these cases that's never been dealt with. well we have asked the office of the country's prime minister to confirm whether the government is launching an investigation although so far we haven't had a response. clashes have erupted between muslim worshipers and israeli security forces in jerusalem near temple mount a site that is holy to both jews and muslims.
12:15 pm
several explosions were heard with smoke covering parts of the holy site is ready for police say that muslim worshippers were throwing stones and fireworks at them and so they responded with riot control measures including stun grenades local media also reports police blocked exits causing further unrest several people are said to have been injured in these clashes it's. watching r.t. we're going to take a quick break now but we'll be back with more nice. i began this national camera. roughly once they showed some ok you for them.
12:16 pm
to joan cool videos and sell them with the broken string apps. down more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. . i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us as over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade 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 to remember one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust.
12:17 pm
hello again now an increasing number of high profile people are landing themselves in hot water over the world tweets but in the us it does seem that your political affiliations will take take just how much trouble you'll be in his party boy. it's become a sport watched someone climb to the top and then knock them off the perch using their own less than savory quotes like t.v. actor roseanne barr who lost her long time job a.b.c. following a very racist tweet it also happened to katie mchugh a journalist who used to write for the breitbart website after her tweets came to light the same fate be felled the sisters stars of the go with no job instagram account they used to have a talk show but it was canceled because they were old. and islamophobia tweets resurfaced on top of that left leaning liberal media outlet found out that the
12:18 pm
sisters have a conservative news pundit for a mother who likes donald trump a lot in fact one thing all those disgraced stars have in common is that they're politically conservative although recently the liberal camp has been hit by a string of very similar scandals james gotten a big hollywood film director made guardians of the galaxy turns out ten years ago he was making jokes about rape and paedophilia his bosses at disney had to sack him the creator of reckon morty and host of the harmon town podcast dan harmon he had to apologize after an old sketch where he rapes a baby doll called the attention of the twitter sphere the host of the daily show travel noah recently faced criticism when his old sketch poking fun at aboriginal women in australia cropped up online who dug all this up the conservatives to find
12:19 pm
some politically incorrect skeletons in the liberals closets might you know of it all right blog keen to get revenge on the left was the one who found the james gun tweet he's loving the fact that the lefties are getting a taste of their own outraged medicine. i enjoyed just the wrong human visceral reaction of jumping into the arena and just swinging the hammer and seeing what is left over afterwards twitter is just modern day gladiatorial combat but there is a slight difference in how the conservatives online misdemeanors and the left wing liberals offensive jokes are playing out trevor noah and dan harmon have managed to hold on to their jobs james gunn did get fired but a lot of the so-called liberal elite standing up for him james gunn is one of the most loving caring good natured people i have ever met he's made mistakes we all have are not ok with what's happening to him james gunn i think you for your
12:20 pm
trial and your decency and your evolution as a man i'm pausing myself to take everything in the forest because of term i just want everyone to know i love all members of my geo t.g. family some have even started a petition to rehire him the twitter sphere wasn't quite as forgiving when it came to roseanne barr's hateful language shame on you the real roseanne and a.b.c. network not a single apology can get me to respect your despicable racist character and racism in mainstream media now i'm hurt embarrassed and disappointed the racist and distasteful comments from rosie are inexcusable a.b.c. and disney do the right thing there is still boned reason the age of trump that cannot be crossed thank you for putting values above money roseanne herself has picked up on it i'm disgusted to read all the support for james guns paedophile
12:21 pm
jokes as the same people supported blackly sue me for a joke they didn't even understand digging up dirt is one thing but it looks like it's more likely to stick if you're on the right side of the political spectrum. there now the issue over what to do with british citizens who went to fight for jihadist groups in the middle east is once again in focus in the u.k. but after the appointment of a new director of public prosecutions max hill who was once slammed by an m.p. is a politically correct snowflake well hill first hit the headlines when he was working as an independent review of u.k. terror laws and argued that should be scrapped he was slammed both for meeting with the organization cage group which some have accused of defending islam ist but hill's own stance and you have this is being branded scandalously feeble by some of the u.k. media here's one of his more controversial statements really we should be looking
12:22 pm
towards reintegration and moving away from any notion that we're going to lose a generation due to this travel those who travelled out of the sands of naivety possibly with some brainwashing on the way possibly in their meat teens we have to leave space for those individuals to be diverted away from the criminal courts what my colleague neil harvey put the issue up for debate. hospitalist approach through problems of using the judicial system for people who have committed a crime by joining prescribed organization and a rehabilitation program i think recognizes that and his review of the terrorism strategy is bringing holistic piece together our counter radicalization and i counter terrorist threats in u.k. has been absolutely a joke we have had the government listen hasn't it is working extremely well. what it is that he was trying to anyone so he will finish i'll finish doing my bit so we have a situation we've got british kids in syria being radicalized now we don't know
12:23 pm
who's committed what crimes now i do we bring them back home all we are going to take them out with. strikes which are about twenty percent accurate or drone strikes which ten years of use in afghanistan or pakistan show about their seven percent accurate indeed no drones are two percent accurate about ten twenty percent accurate you're lucky you're you're going wrong are. going to get analysis from doing alternative facts. i just want to listen to a sound bite of boris johnson of course we legally justify those drone strike assess nations as preventative to stop future acts of terror in syria but that's because the mosques the reality that killing them is also a ritual beauty of payback for the film the executions of innocent people is that the right motive for what was the foreign secretary talking about basically an official government stance a vengeance is that appropriate what we are doing if we follow mr barr is johnston
12:24 pm
the strategies that we are really french are using our justice system to the usa because the usa has a death penalty but the reality is that we are using our sovereignty and telling the world that britain is not competent enough to really. sort of put through criminals through the criminal justice system. british citizens we need to deal with our rubbish we've got to bring them home if they are capable of being to be radicalized and we can deal with them like they do in some of the nordic countries or some scandinavian countries and we integrate them into british society great how do you go in and arrest these people bring them back in a most little police corps to be put in a cozy so through a judicial system they're in a conflict zone they're a threat to this country so the legitimate military targets we do not recorded we do not count civilian casualties we do not count collateral damage if there is believed to be very responsibility the response no no no no no no no no no on the first series in parliament it was absolutely clear the m.p.'s came forward said we
12:25 pm
have no records we have no evidence and the reason is we do not count them i just want to sort of move on to a little bit different as you know in the last few days over four hundred white helmets activist in syria has been taken out under escort by israel to jordan and there is some expectation that they would be given british nationality or they european nationalities these white helmets were working hand in hand with ice and terrorists in syria at the end of the day on the one hand we are saying that terrorists should be taken out by drones then and other sort of firepower but on and at the same time we let go of over four hundred white head miss terrorist who are operating in syria to come back to the u.k. not only. to sort of do it to be radicalized but to be given nationality and to roam freely as some humanitarian workers she's coming up to or she's gone twenty
12:26 pm

12:28 pm
authority that is corrupt of all that leads to all kinds of bad outcomes when you have anarchy got to centralization of power you know you have the wherewithal to have a more peaceful existence. that's a very rough road for a new sort of clout emotes. you have to try to do both of them if. it was gunshots one top them and so very fresh they would have been going to make five men and you don't know if i will go let me go back up. you know i don't want to see a bit of what is in the true and is ready to participate in the good is both to me a good mood and. you don't think about this leave this old who don't know you got
