it turns out that this t. o. w. anti-tank missile was manufactured at a facility in the united states by the raytheon systems company this is not the first time this has happened syria is actually littered with weapons that are made to nato standards and some of which have actually been manufactured in the united states the question now is how much do washington and nato know about their weapons falling into the hands of the very cherice they claim to be fighting there is a deafening silence a purposeful lack of interest a purposeful apathy and the reason for this is simple the us government and the military industrial complex and the corporate owned media that functions as an echo chamber for the military industrial complex actually does not care the us government prosecutes those who they say aid and abet terrorism well guess what american war contractors are aiding and abetting terrorism but the us judicial

system the justice department the long arm of american law enforcement will not be used against these same military corporations which in fact they're subsidized receive a form of welfare from american taxpayers every year. a russian mole inside the us embassy in moscow it is selection of stuff and britain's guardian newspaper has been reveling in its scoop but all is not nearly as it seems . donald explains everybody loves the spy drama mystery suspense and the russian from for time. when they move to the stapling. my name is and then you are russian spy. 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 mole the russian spy had been working under tech to the heart of the american embassy in moscow for more than a decade she had plenty of time to gather intelligence without supervision said the guardian's head of investigations claims she was operational for a whole decade in that time for through the agency's internet in e-mail system she had 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 bill goodman fled to the office be russia's security agency before being let go last year over security concerns they had lying the narrative the details look spectacular in the

scoop which was even projected to link to a spy ploy in washington d.c. to self or activities of stealing and sharing information could shed more light on how the russians were able to hack twenty sixteen presidential election office of the d.n.c. except the secret service was. unimpressed by the reporting an order 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 used every one of them surprises as potential 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. it's more like the job description of a tourist guy rather than

a spy material employee. and i wish i could say the guardian did not know these things when publishing the article but they did prior to the guardian publishing their early. series provided the or any other official statement clearly refuting in found information despite all this the article was published as is after all everybody loves this spy drama but some plots a better be saved for hollywood script. while 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 of pain 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 and the russians try to hack into and steal information from candidates and government officials alike cyber attacks against voting infrastructure along with computer 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 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 dated. a lot of pride pride related content less news more memes this isn't just

a couple of platforms this is music caps 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 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. rules their own rules ship 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 they yes there's a war between trump and his intelligence. the venezuelan president nicolas maduro says he's escaped an attempt on his life itself to drones carrying explosives detonated nearby while he was addressing troops in caracas and this was caught on video i didn't know not a good little for the. innocent. even the president my daughter was there we understand seven soldiers were injured and the venezuelan government says it's already detained some of those behind the assassination plot but otoh it was also flung blame a neighboring colombia which denies any involvement and the group called the flannel soldiers claims that carried out the attack. well it's been

a busy week for headlines here not international your weekly continues in just. you know world big partisan movies and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit 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 bad and 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the

threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. right now it's only twenty past here in moscow a reminder of our breaking news for you this hour a suicide bomber has killed three nato soldiers in afghanistan and the mission does not get revealed the nationality of the soldiers they would add that an american and two afghans were wounded in the blast as well and the incident comes just a day off the two suicide bombers attacked a mosque in the southeast of the country killing thirty nine islamic state said it

was behind but regarding the latest one today as far as we understand and no one has claimed responsibility as of yet. the volatile atmosphere in a paris district has forced one pro migrant group to end its crucial work there the court of volunteers the area is now unsafe and even minimum security measures are simply not being met by the group has been working there for almost two years distributing more than two hundred fifty thousand meals and supplies our car correspondent our charlotte to penske reports. in paris is a gritty eighteenth hante small town hundreds of migrants clustered together on the streets they gather here as it's where food is distributed by a local for the interior group but after twenty minutes solidarity me call wilson look set to close its doors saying they just can't take anymore. it's become more tense we're serving around seven hundred breakfasts every day to

migrants who live in terrible conditions they have nothing not even tense they sleep on the ground and sometimes woken up by the police in the morning they kick them and use tear gas to move them so when they come to us they're stressed and nervous twice last week we had to stop serving food to let the tension calm down this is something new for us so yes we are stopping migrants have been expelled by police in this area many times felipe tells me that despite this they come back and every time they do this situation becomes even more desperate from the beginning our mission was to serve hot drinks and bread and we've done this for twenty months every day during the last month or so we started questioning our mission because we don't want to volunteer to be put in danger. who is to blame for this situation for not giving enough help to the migrants on the streets is this the mayor of paris is this the government of france. is on for us is both the state is responsible for people on the streets for taking in migrants at the same time the authorities in

paris are restricting access to water taps in the summer is a response. they also have a responsibility towards the miners their miners here who sleep on the street and in the cumber drug addicts me the state nor the parish administration is doing its job. with the authorities not providing enough support the volunteers giving up just a stone's throw away from haiti is an area known locally as crack that's also made things worse for those working to help the my currents phillipe says that some of the drug addicts are also coming for food handouts and causing problems. the drug addicts are evacuated recently but nothing was done to help them and they came back today now come from breakthroughs to it creates additional tension they're aggressive including towards the volunteers so this is an explosive situation. while we're recording the interview meet the think distribution point and you take individual approach us all move you know what i saw lambeau media in

which there's. been i was here i was really did i mean i was you know so every city we played with some of the streets. filled me with not filming at the scene but they just kept up with the cameras i mean to people see this is the. exact i. think. more people are coming nothing's being done about it and there are the drug addicts as you saw it's impossible to film people here it's becoming more difficult than before we think the situation is explosive and it puts his in real danger. by shutting up shop so illegality make always know that they are cutting off a vital lifeline for phone looking economists but as well as doing it out of concern for their volunteers they hope to move to prompt the authorities to start

ignoring the plight of my clients and force them to take action show the t.v. ski r.t. r s. he has vowed to retaliate against the u.s. after washington impose sanctions on two officials and corrupt over the detention of american pastor bronson. turkey rejected a u.s. request to let him return to his homeland brunson is currently under house arrest and izmir turkey and the turkish president of the one says the u.s. move is disrespectful. you know we've shown patience with the step america has taken does not go through to step taken towards a strategic partner in america has shown serious disrespect towards turkey. on wednesday 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 besides freezing their assets and says those targeted will also be prevented from doing business with turkey now the pastor at the center of the dispute is andrew bronson he was detained in twenty sixteen in connection with an attempted coup against are the ones government that year and he's accused of espionage and assisting terrorist groups a deal between the u.s. and turkey to secure the evangelical pastors release broke down just last month and bronson was then transferred to house arrest over health concerns but he's still facing thirty five years in jail if found guilty that has led to a heated dispute between the u.s. and turkey and we spoke to the former turkish ambassador to america. he says the bronson case is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to problems between the two countries. this is a relationship that has been strained and nothing only because of faults i mean not really serious but i flew by the old school for the beach on the way it sure.

is all of the issues as it came up and it is all told in a situation about it was on a committal asian without a fight the print of the puppet i.t.s. of. color limbs the pastor bronson case his it is true the base of the thing the u.s. has compass is extremely unhappy with the areas the developments in turkey has the absolute right to purchase as five hundred missiles up from russia have been objections from moneta allies including the us that this would be the create problems for over. its nato partners but i think at the end of the day turkey has it either to beef up its head and to pound system into the deal because one hundred says should his employees and it's going on are propping up the

weekly for this hour here on international but plenty of your top stories some of the possible diets and about often a. some

people come on now to. use indigenous people as you know we that. paid in the people of the trees. most politicians said that the only thing i know but yes it came. out of a sudden a man just back and told me there was a time. i said i will enter it again if they will not allow me. if they will shoot me. at all i will come on a million million indeed i'm not i'm not picking on you the nominee been thought you could have been killed by the human dynamic that i think i made it look like i mean you got me i used.

previously on the great american pilgrimage. and this is just a normal is a big additional chill misdoing cheese so there are images i ave to make it to do a flat when i was young oh don't start the search about. where we go from there night out of here although. everybody i'm stephen baldwin gushing with task hollywood gun usual suspects but a very proud american first of all i'm just a george washington and r.v. enthusiastic uncle steve to me is going to drive the big boy because this is my buddy max the famous financial guru and we'll she's a little bit different i'm honest abraham lincoln hall another there were no windows up last but not least my larger than myself. the night. and aspiring star rio. with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road to have some fun. every day

americans who knows. what's america to our ancestors suffered to see how things got so crazy i was naked. the right thing to hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american pill each. time. it's day two in arizona in our heroes have spent the night in the parking lot of their new favorite restaurant. stephen looks ahead to the future while max brings the pilgrimage party to one of the biggest party schools in the nation and.

we're going to cause america. talk about america. back. how are you you know. this is just me i was the first thing that. i'm going to stay just for the record abraham lincoln did not look like that picket fence me. people have all the warmth for a blink and i see that in their faces so you know i am. abraham lincoln exactly now i'm going around your founding fathers i'm one of the most important i'm on your time don't know it now i am an american a while so that's now what's been going up with a. i was present there is a civil war going on you very contentious a lot of anger but every soul now and so you can correlate that. as far as the

liberals and conservatives just want to put a little bit of us some political disputes of knowing north korea but a little bit of russia also all right what's going on last year they were launching a plane back on monday yeah won't pick up currently we're all friends and that. the liberals on trying to say that we reveal what should be a trump an office the liberals or the russian liberals and then we're cool russia is not right and then russia pissed because they did not create a luncheon right and then now they're on our no they're well i had top blanket my son had to scold them from time to time for stealing an apple i know i retire at a. young time he died tragically young and it's time to mind it really upset my life i have a loss the serval. so some liberals are saying that russia has something to do with the election yet but yet they think that hillary didn't win because they bring new

life in that's why trump one really doesn't make sense doesn't. it. stephen heads back inside cafe pino to meet with a regular customer who's running for the senate from the state of arizona. and are you. stephen baldwin peter have my limits thank you for coming in. so arizona is. in my heart i did a t.v. show called the young round of the western. a.b.c. family's t.v. show of the on express so i thought we were going to shoot a pilot and there was no way this thing was going to sirius three years we did it. and it was a blessing was really cool and i stayed in tucson another five years i commuted to los angeles. and what's really horrible so i'm here for the reason i wish you could

still. early want to tell you. there's a difference between if you were born a muslim or so tell me that story. of. oh no this is how you know it's just my brain to calibrate what i want to ask you because it would be very different if you were born into the muslims than if you married muslims so i don't know. me there but. grew up in arkansas and the first thing i learned about islam was in the sixth grade social studies class and learned about world culture and i learned that in the middle east all the women were property and walk two steps behind the men and then in seventh grade we learned about world religions and then after every chapter of my teacher would say i was in public school but my teacher would say and they're going to hell and because they're not christian they

don't believe in jesus and so when we got to islam it was. it was muhammad is. seriously so in college i started meeting people who were middle eastern exchange students and i was and still am a minister and. police would go up to them and tell them how awful they were that they beat their wives and they didn't believe in jesus so i was trying to convert them to christianity and they would explain to me well no that's not what islam says i mean some people are bad to women but islam is and and we do believe in jesus in fact we have an entire chapter on the mother of jesus of how he was born and all of his miracles so then i started learning more about islam and the more i studied it the more i liked it and it spoke to me. before that you were christian. that's an amusing testament. and for me i didn't change religion's i expanded on

my understanding of my relationship with god isn't eliminating so you. know but it's very important profit and teacher in islam. because what's fascinating is here sits two individuals from two totally different walks of life i'm a guy that was a dumb jock from long island new york whose dad was a public school teacher and football coach i grew up on a friday night lights fighting every weekend drunk. and yet there's things i know about your face now. and things you know about my face and the things you know about your faith based on the fact that you know things about my faith and yet. you choose. to trust to the truly is just interpretation a lot just means god in arabic just like a law is not the god of the christian god if you read the koran it's all the same

prophets i mean look at abraham and absent the same god everybody gets so proudly all they got that's a mask right so the almighty. is the same father. only called according to the most the same god that we don't believe that god had a child and that jesus was a miracle birth but that did not make him these descended on a child of god any more than it made the rest of us that were all children of god. and then put it out to be the same entity yes we believe it's the same entity the same prophets this isn't even the same stories just as some details changed. you know i bet you were a lot more similar than we realize as well stephen is being schooled on the second largest religion in the world. max is swill. hello yes big. time and blanket he's not a lincoln. high five one day i'm five and

i'm five. but the american dream is still alive i i don't know what to say about that honestly because it's just the american dream did so to me subject and honestly my parents. were. going to give me an education and to them i suppose that's. an america i feel is still you know went off truly but you know things are changing. just says you know the u.s. is prospering and so are our countries and third world countries are slowly becoming more and more you know the psychological develop yes exactly and so with things i doubt honestly i feel like you know the world is a lot more. you know has made a lot more potential no matter where you go. you're in arizona you are in fear of the federal state see correct us that you're running for the u.s.

senate. where are you now in your journey. of empowering women i have been on that journey of empowering women a very long time when i became a civil rights and social justice advocate here in arizona basically i was running organizations going around the state telling people you know about misinformation about muslims or bringing groups together to work on civil rights issues and i think that that's very empowering to have a woman in leadership in a woman taking the lead then you know i decided to you know render us that and so for me at the old bed that one is to say that i have the. personal presence to the one act and that i'm willing to do when and i'm not asking permission and i'm not waiting for it you're right. and soon is giving that same thought process that when you came with those folks still back in arkansas that

would say to themselves. but i'm ok with asking for permission. are you ok with them i'm not going to judge somebody that's not the same place in life that i'm not some yeah you may go now i think they're dumb dungeon they were a wake up and i look to him in the head with a loaf of bread you know. everybody's on their own journey all you can do is plant seeds and hope that a beautiful flower grows i'm not responsible for the flower. so much has changed since i was president of the united states. i learned some of the students. very dark sunnies. and a blank and. can reach out for a minute can we chat a little bit. now your friend can wait we're after is talk serious business this is a serious business there is nothing serious when a man is dressed like that. yeah i mean.
