the name of the agent is stabling song my name is evelyn so then you are at us and spy q. this guardian story had every ingredient for a thriller recipe the u.s. secret service has quite clearly stems from the very name it's one of the most enigmatic agencies of the u.s. government its main function is to protect the lives of u.s. presidents ministers the top political brass and that is where the russians according to the guardian planted a mall the russian spy had been working under texted in the heart of the american embassy in moscow for more than a decade she had plenty of time to gather intelligence without supervision bissell said the guardian's head of investigations claims she was operational for a whole decade in that time through the agency's internet in e-mail systems she had
8:31 am
access to all kinds of highly classified stuff including the shared jewels of the president and vice president all of that according to the guardian the woman fed to the physic be russia's key security agency before being let go last year over security concerns they had lined the narrative the details looked spectacular in the scoop which was even projected to link to a spy ploy in washington d.c. itself her activities of stealing and sharing information could shed more light on how the russians were able to hack the twenty sixteen presidential election office of the d.n.c. except the secret service was. unimpressed by the reporting and not out of shame or embarrassment but because of the facts according to the media release within the agency the woman in question held the position of a foreign service national these employees have their duties outlined very strictly as by default the secret service views every one of them surprises as potential
8:32 am
spies the woman's responsibilities were limited to things like translation cultural guidance administrative support and i don't mean to offend anybody here but this. sounds more like the job description of a tourist guide rather than a spy a material employee and i wish i could say the guardian did not know all these things when publishing the article but they did prior to the guardian publishing their article the u.s. secret service provided they are editor with their official statement clearly refuting in found information despite all this the article was published as is after all everybody loves a spy drama but some plots are better be saved for hollywood script and while at this particular russian spy story was debunked even by the u.s. secret service itself america's politicians and intelligence community have been

doubling down on allegations of moscow meddling in elections they have pledged to protect the upcoming midterm elections in november from foreign interference. our democracy itself is in the crosshairs paid by russia to try to weaken and divide united states threat is not going away prevent foreign interference in our elections to prevent russian and other foreign influence that the russians try to hack into and steal information candidates and government officials alike cyber attacks against voting infrastructure or future intrusions malicious cyber actors are getting elected officials it goes beyond the elections it goes to russia's intent to undermine our democratic values. content is created tested and hosted on platforms such as you tube reddit and pinterest its push to twitter and
8:34 am
facebook with their standing audiences in the hundreds of millions and it's targeted at the most receptive this is a problem of the entire information ecosystem this is cross-platform reddit confirm hundreds of ira created accounts tumblr did it. a lot of pride pride related content less news more names this isn't just a couple of platforms this is music out this is video games this is me i'm sharing it it's much broader than twitter and google. and. when you look it's just hilarious when i hear that funny pictures can undermine american democracy i think it's just paranoia that goes off the scale it's not respectable for american lawmakers to make a sensation out of nothing we're not the ones who invented social media and we're not the ones who insisted on making social media open to everybody they're going to blame russia for whatever happens in the november elections whatever goes wrong whatever problems we have it's russia's fault there are no racial divisions there
8:35 am
is no way in quality of income there are no problems in this country except the ones that are made by russia this is ridiculous what's going on here. they have to use something to deflect criticism from their own. rulers their own rules ship it this is absolutely getting out of control right now i have not seen it like this before and it's getting more and more dangerous when you think of the relations between two superpowers they don't want better relations with russia they want to push this line and the yes there's a war between trump and his intelligence. thousands of members of the druze religious sect and their supporters took part in a demonstration in the israeli city of tel aviv on saturday against the controversial new nation state law. we are here to stay in a quick and for a message to their israeli government we will not settle down for anything less than equal rights as an israeli citizen. we feel we have been betrayed by the
8:36 am
government and we hope we don't understand how like this will have been taken in democratic and the mood at this state like is that we like these states we are fighting for the peace of the state legislation enshrines israel is the home of the jewish people and says national self-determination is the unique right of the jews it also downgrades arabic stripping the language of its official status now the law although largely symbolic has been widely criticized as it's believed it will legitimize the treatment of non jews as second class citizens now this saturday's protest was organized by druze community leaders a leaders i should say the druze though as you may not know it's a minority islamic group considered israel's most loyal minority with a sex members serving in the police the military is also holding some of political office positions but they say this new legislation has driven
8:37 am
a wedge through the quote special relationship and one druze leader has even said the law paves the way to israel becoming an apartheid state this nation state law is an evil and sadistic law designed to allow the state of israel to become an apartheid state. some members of the knesset including members of prime minister netanyahu is ruling likud party also lambasted the controversial law that he has hit back calling its critics hypocrites and claiming the law does not infringe on the rights of minorities. so. there are suggestions that we should change the flag and the anthem in the name of equality but first of all in the state of israel it is something that undermines the foundation of our existence for this reason the attacks on leftist circles that define themselves as zionists are absurd and reveals the depths to which the left
8:38 am
has fallen we're not ashamed of science we're proud of our state of it being the national home for the jewish people which strictly upholds in a manner that is without fear the individual rights of all its citizens we were joined by guests on both sides of the debate to discuss this new law the state belong to the jews and of course all the citizens but it is the whole and state the whole and of the state of the jews. why anybody would protest against is the democratic decision that has been made by the majority of any population in any state and i you know i look on the flags of europe frags which we're speaking about flags of our. our our signs and symbols in the state you can find so many states with the cross on the flags nobody objected dig the states surrounding us are you slamming states nobody protest against it why is this wave
8:39 am
of protect protest is is made against the jews that this is the only democratic state in all this region mejor all me this question please well the whole thing is a controversy about this low there is nothing good actually about this law this law in first place doesn't include elements which is essential for having a proper a normal life in this country as it is more twenty percent of the society in israel is not jewish and no way it's transfer all those who are not jews are second class citizens after this law and that's were for this law doesn't suit israeli society doesn't the communities within the states who are part of the society and want to remain and to fear as israelis and therefore this low has to be

8:42 am
for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. it is good to have you with us today turkey has vowed to retaliate against the u.s. after washington impose sanctions on two officials and i'm korea over the detention of american pasta and drew bronson. he rejected a u.s. request to let him return to his homeland and brunson is currently under house arrest in izmir turkey the turkish president just out of the one says the u.s. move is quote disrespectful. shown patience but the step america
8:43 am
has taken does not fit a step taken towards a strategic partner in america has shown serious disrespect towards turkey. on wednesday at the trump administration slapped economic sanctions on two senior turkish officials and said any property they have in the u.s. will be blocked in response turkey has said it will introduce sanctions of its own targeting the assets of u.s. officials in the country resides freezing their assets says those targeted will also be prevented from doing business with turkey while the pastor at the center of the dispute is andrew bronson he was detained in twenty sixteen in connection with an attempted coup against president of the ones a government that year he's accused of espionage and assisting quote terrorist groups a deal between the u.s. and turkey to secure the evangelical pastors released broke down last month mr bronson was then transferred to house arrest over health concerns but he still facing thirty five years in jail if found guilty and that's led to
8:44 am
a heated dispute between the u.s. and turkey let our crossfire discuss the situation with. the former turkish ambassador to the united states from two thousand and one to two thousand and five great to see you today thanks for coming on the program it doesn't look like we're seeing a tit for tat sanctions between old friends and allies turkey that lead is to respond to what it calls disrespectful behavior from washington how has this friendship and geo political alliance gotten to this point what what's gone wrong. well i think we have to. take a second look. lucia most turkish have american relations in the last several years this is a relationship that has been strained and not only because of its huge use by natural issues whether also for regional issues and the failure. is all these issues. as they came up and the
8:45 am
result in a situation but there was an accumulation of a different of the point that i think is of. problems and i think the pastor brunson issue is just the icing on the cake brought the last us almost almost broke the camel's. back so you can use all of you but you bring in the allegations against the american pasta and you bronson and that's our story that you bring in the angle but there are allegations i should say that bronson was involved in the twenty sixteen coup against out of the one he was accused of being a member of the good and movement any accuracy to that. i think that is up to the turkish courts to decide has been there is an indictment that a very serious crimes a tribute to the past thirty and the trial is not. finished it's still
8:46 am
the going on but at the white house and the white house said in the past he blamed the twenty sixteen crew on washington and in fact in the wake of the coup there were allegations all stories that even of lot of mia putin gave over the one a warning a heads up that the coup was about to be executed or any of those accusations accurate. no i'm not in a position to confirm or to this confirm and in particular a position. because there sions. the director that the pastor extreme that here he is there but you are not guilty until you are proven guilty and we don't have a final ruling by the court that but i think that the deeper problem is. the inability of the two allies to start that it's all going to unpacking unfolding this complicated package and the problems and pointing at
8:47 am
the starting point should be the situation that the case or for the constitution i think. it to court so that the turkish court speeded up the process the find them guilty then that is that our vision of. expelling him from here and that my thought should is all the question that mr logan it is up to me if i could jump in i do apply really apologize i sincerely apologize for interrupting you we have such little time here but i want to ask you you had mentioned a moment ago that there's a mixed bag of disagreements ultimately between ankara and washington one of the disagreements perhaps is the s four hundred missile system in fact that is a major bone of contention between ankara and washington why is that washington has recently threatened to sanctions if it does go ahead with buying the russian defense system that seems to be a major dispute here what is that about. well i think the problem is that the
8:48 am
u.s. congress to us is congress is extremely unhappy with various developments in turkey including not just the pastor now but also the as four hundred turkish the situation of children rights in turkey the situation of journalists in turkey so there is a lot of package in the u.s. congress that tore turkey but turkey has the diet as the absolute right to purchase as five hundred missiles from russia have been objections from the next including to us that this put the create problems for over. its nato partners but i think at the end of the day at the end of the day turkey has the type to beef up its or didn't depend system including that she has the plan system and that the deal get this one hundred says is in place and it's going up i missed
8:49 am
it overnight if i if i can ask you what the full by turkish ambassador to the united states from two thousand i want to two thousand and five what would you recommend for the american and turkish leadership to do to mend that high and get over this current relationship crisis. to come down on number one. and act i feel cool if you like and the first order of business is to dissolve this . story case all for a passive concert and this can be done according to turkish law by the turkish court and it to provide it could provide the chance for the two sides to it and i will other more serious problems because at the end of the day the pastor bronson case is really basic details it's important but it's basically a detail and the two countries have much more important concerns including ensuring
8:50 am
that there's a beat on and others should be gentle and international issues and i understand that the diplomatic channels are opened the minister childish told of the turkish foreign minister at a meeting in singapore of its counterpart u.s. counterpart and it just recently had that they both made encouraging the markets specifically about the possible release of or transferred expulsion. plus two products now if mr alterman thought he was going to go through the full my talking about to the united states thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. thank you and i thank you for joining us as well wrapping up the program back with more in half an hour.
