russia and the more russia discovers the filipinos will find out that we have a lot of things in common. we both have a strong sense of identity and are finding our place not only in society in the world but both of us just you know want to get along with the rest of the world have enough food that they know we're also often misunderstood in our intentions right that this is one and one of the thing with me because of again the cold war mentality i mean again it's always packaged in some western media that this is correct this is so wrong you know so we have to judge countries actions and leave their said the rector gives case per case you know you're going to everything the u.s. that's historic or you can oppose or say everything the u.s. is wrong so we need more objective but the reality is. you know media tries to give the facts but also leans. their world view so this is where social media and direct communication comes in unfortunately it's sometimes called fake news that

sometimes is but it's sometimes actually a different world view packaged as fake news by powerful people now i know that russian particularly is interested in marketing its nuclear power and transfer the expertise to the and to the philippines i wonder is that something that may be of interest to you particularly the nuclear energy issue from what i understand it's quite a contentious subject in your country we are interested in everything that they saw russia and we hope that we can interest russia with everything that's filipino from our warm hospitality to our beautiful islands countryside mountains from your sophisticated military hardware to your transport them vehicles exciting motorcycles you know i ask you specifically about it then you can do this from what i do it's you actually bill. why nuclear power for but it never went into

operation because building wind of that was that in your fest that with corruption we pay of course u.s. . company under the guidance of international financial institutions the us which corruption has been exposed in the last few decades so the contention it's not the use of nuclear power itself or aid or help of fresh air or russian technology the issue of more of the location of where the nuclear power plant is that the controversy is more if we should build there because there are strong feelings given the history but in so far us corporations in this matter we've signed agreements we're very our scientists are very excited that our department of science and technology our department of energy is excite that the way work with your. agencies in atomic and nuclear fields ok well secretary we have to take a very short break now but he will be back in just a few moments. i'm. going

to max keiser it is a little guy. looking for a three year sentence. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain delegates are watched as a report. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race in

this on all fronts clearly a dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and tom. welcome back to worlds apart peter thomas secretary of foreign affairs of the. secretary we mentioned the situation in. before and i think it would be fair to say that both the attack on that c.t. and the long destructive siege that followed deep fears among asian countries as well as across the world that isis may seek to expand in other locations after suffering defeats in syria and iraq just the other day we heard the devastating

attack in indonesia perpetrated by a whole family including four children who returned from syria do you in the philippines understand how to deal with you know how good you are first of all our hearts go out and we express our condolences to all the victims of terrorism worldwide even here in russia you are no stranger to. extremism and acts of terrorism. it was a painful experience you know fighting. your own countrymen and fighting extremists you know it was the first time that there was fighting in the city in an urban setting it's usually outside and sunni they say that you know if there are religious undertones or society or historical differences but here it was just filipino against. it be you know in the name of a pervert dead. and already you say on the one occasion that there was a real danger at one point of time. forming from being

a battle between terrorism and the. war the danger is there the president is in the best position because he's seen this he was going around the camps already saying watch out keep a keen eye you know it will just take it's like gasoline spread all over and it just takes a spark and he knew at that time that syria and iraq would soon stab allies and the diaspora and isis would be defeated and where we'll go the couple hundred or a couple of thousands of southeast asian jihadist fighters who join diet where will they go how do you think these people should be dealt with because the it's not only the fighters it's also the families it's also the children again the indonesian recent example shows that the children could also be used as he said bombers well you know. it should be dealt like a no nonsense father with a firm hand but an open heart you know no one wants to scold or put in jail or

stand in the corner his son or his daughter you know but if you lose surely lad these people into your back into your house and you know that they present a potential danger if they are terrorists then they are a trip to all nations to all people having said brothers in the govt have to communicate that to us there's need for rehabilitation there's a need to communicate to their families that they have been rescued and not captured you know but there's so much to be done from intelligence sharing from. taking out the fertile ground to for recruitment of that kind of mentality so poverty and crime and drugs put together just. that fertile ground of breeding extremists and this kind of ideology now you mentioned already did that the united states and the philippines have just. joint military exercises

to build on the lessons of the moroccan siege involving some eight thousand troops from both sides as well as a small contingent from australia and japan is that a sign that your political relations with the united states beach were strained as you sat over the criticism about the war on drugs. is it a sign that that relationship isn't proving well i don't know the term military to military. relation you know never suffered. well it is frank friends the detective said that there is an exercise this would be suspended we suspend all of the exercises in the south china sea and with regards to certain aspects of the eight thousand you mentioned today it was more for disaster prevention so yes we focused on that and he's keeping it that way what i'm saying is that if people two people the relationship is still strong military to military relationship be strong and you know russia and china have never said to us and never interfered with our

relationship with the united states so that they don't have such close to the million tires yes but that makes the relationship strong when you respect the bilateral relationship with your friend with the other friend you know this isn't a great school or high school where you can if you fight with a friend you want all your other friends to fight with him or to you know you have to have much your relationships and that includes security and defense arrangements now speaking about maturity and leadership present to terence's personal style his temperament his sense of humor sometimes compared to that of donald trump do you find that comparison flattering. you know they're both authentic speakers they say or do tweet what what they want but you know in the philippines he's been compared more with president put in political determine. nation political will a vision of what to do in the country remember the problem with the there is just not only who they are and what they do in the direction but also the circumstances

at home you know it's very hard to judge a president donald trump he's a good friend to the philippines but he is in a political circumstances where there are you know challenge just in all fronts so we have challenges with the u.s. congress challenges with the n.g.o.s we are using human rights as a political weapon challenge just sometimes with the state department but we're trying to build those bridges you know but in the meantime president that there that this is really care who it is compared to you know he just wants to do a good i understand it's very easy for the leaders to publicly shrug that kind of that kind of criticism but i think it gets to you and when your country's being maligned over and over again it's it's not pleasant especially if you're dealing with some real life but president that they're the best and care as far as he's concerned he likes president trump they have a good connection they talk frankly but this fire as the president that is

concerned he very much like see he's called president putin one of my idols you know so and he says it's none of your business if i like him or not now incidentally president trump also has his own drug epidemic to tackle and correct me if i'm wrong he has not only refrained from criticizing the philippines over the conduct of the war on drugs he actually sat and praised president attended to for the quote unquote deliverable job joe job on the drug problem does the philippines assessed chomps efforts to address the american opiate crisis in the same way do you even analyze what the in the demo the president has said that he's very supportive he has empathy he understand what the american. are going through unfortunately the e.u. the us and western media do not understand that there are different challenges when

it comes to drugs. now a president is talking about opioids but in the past it was about more of cocaine and cocaine and methamphetamine have different effects in cocaine it's a health issue with the person but that person doesn't go around raping people killing people raping two years old shooting their father met them felt the means had that effect and that's what they were trying to. do you can counter that with saying that even when you have a mentally disabled person committing a crime you do put him through assessment and that's what we're doing but this human rights groups wants to legalize prohibit the drugs and it's making it appear there's an even the you end up with to have said there's no evidence that this kind of drugs need to violence so even with the mentally disturbed person you know identified a dangerous dangerous to himself or herself dangerous to her family and new

remedies so we are just remedying the epidemic of drugs illegal drugs in the philippines respect president trumps efforts but we also recognize said that human rights and drug issues have become so politicized you know that we're not discussing it in the level to solve it but to criticize each other and helpful. secretary i notice that the war on drugs is pretty much the only thing that the western reporters ever ask you about and i don't want to focus now you mentioned that but i do want to ask you one more question on on this issue i came across a poll from last year we suggest that seventy three percent of filipinos worry about becoming victims of extrajudicial killings and that's about as high as the general public support for the crusade again against crime so that leads me. you conclude that people support the goal but they are a little bit apprehensive about did nothing to do you share because it depends on the question in the poll so if you ask do you support so for example if you say do

you support nuclear power and you get eighty percent and then a fall out happens somewhere and you ask the same question are you concerned that the fallout will happen of course your answer will be you know but look at the later polls nowadays you know people are seeing that we have safer streets people are seeing that yes there are abuses but this was because of fund abuse of police force not because of precedent that there is this directive and with us now by modern day quick meant more surveillance more c.c.t.v. cameras there more assurances to the public that you know this drug is precisely against those who violate the law and those who are violent you know precedent that they're to has told president trump and president has listened carefully that we don't shoot people in cold blood but what did the american media report that precedent that they did not discuss human rights so you know they're

focused on the form that on the substance they did discuss human rights in a manner of a friendly nations respecting each other sovereignty what would you say today's who claim that they detect administration has been a bit blinded by this and to drive campaign and overcommitted police and army resources to counter the drug problem at the expense of other security challenges which. could have the situation we described discussed previously in mitt romney where we care about the filipino we care about the philippines and we know that we would have would open up the day that we were narco state if we don't do this so we don't really care that much about the people who has the luxury to provide solutions that didn't work or were given the chance to solve the problem and didn't in order to problem so any country with an existential trap is always criticise that they focus too much on that trip but precisely why you call it the next the

stench of trip it's a threat to your existence so if we don't pay that if we didn't if the president didn't put that focus will wake up one day that the. in the philippines have problems with drugs with violence and i can state that we've already seen generals we've seen the politicians we've seen hype officials we've seen billions millions thousands of past us in drugs we've saw a cache of cash and drugs in mirali so i think we prove our point that it is a real danger to us and if other people want to ignore it if other n.g.o.s want to politicise it that's their problem but we'll deal with the real problem while secretary unfortunately we have to leave a day i really appreciate your time very hard to shape this opportunity thank you and i encourage our viewers to keep this conversation going in our social media pages and i hope to see you again same place same time here on worlds apart.

the philippine city of angeles when the u.s. military moved out the six tourists moved in. and now a whole generation of fatherless children is growing up here. hi dad and within one month a couple simple than. my birthday is a general idea i pass and i'm the only. son

have no idea what safe he's doing on vacation but she will be back in september. this is. the church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice so something that does not get as the. included used.

is found. in the stories that shaped the week here on r.t. international canada acknowledges a disturbing chapter in its post-war history and thousands of single mothers were forced to give up their babies we spoke to one of the victims i asked the of my daughter i actually had to ask three times and then the last time that i asked i had to yell and then they relented black i started to get i started to pass out and then they took her away from me. weapon was used by rebels and terrorists in syria have been traced back to nato countries including the united states. hacking

and spies are the threats american democracy faces from russia during the upcoming midterm elections that's according at least to the u.s. intelligence community. welcome to the weekly here in art international live from moscow i'm daniel hawkins thanks for joining us this hour three people have been arrested on sunday ahead of a right wing rally and a counter protest in berkeley california. according to local law enforcement those arrested at items banned protests in their possession such as metal pipes baseball bats even earlier this week two groups of all tried activists announced plans to protest berkeley park in response up to four

hundred counter protesters gathered at eleven am they marched along streets downtown towards the site of the proposed rally some of the marchers were dressed in black the typical uniform of anti for activists in twenty seventeen berkeley experience similar protests which led to violent clashes. and the canadian government has acknowledged a disturbing practice dating back to the postwar period when single mothers were forced to give up their babies the children were then given to married couples in a bid to promote traditional families some women were even tricked into giving up their children we spoke to one of the victims. as soon as they found out i was pregnant they mark my records b.f.a. baby for adoption. i was a fifteen year old girl pregnant i was pregnant from

a sexual assault. and. there was no conversation with me about how i got pregnant all they cared about was the fact that i was. pregnant and that i had a baby that they could. take. a healthy blond haired blue eyed beautiful baby. you will forget the child go home get married and have other children or if not get a puppy. that is what i was told get up puppy. it was a very abusive and there. we were isolated from our life i was isolated from my family and my community my sisters and my parents i was completely left alone.

my parents were not canadian citizens they're there from europe. my parents believed that they would get deported if they didn't follow that. what the government wanted at maternity homes mothers were routinely denied their right to see older feed their babies there are still some mothers who do not know where their delivery boy or girl being told well it's none of your business to hold my daughter i actually had to ask three times and i. but first i said it quietly and i said it a little louder and then the last time that i asked i had to yell and i had to yell bring me my baby now. and then the nurse stopped looked at the doctor for permission and i was quite surprised that the nurse would have to ask for

permission for me to hold my own daughter since i'm her legal guardian my daughter in my arms and. and then the room went black i started to get i started to pass out and then they took her away from me. i met my daughter she for she actually found me. so she phoned me. and she said. you don't know who i am and as soon as she said that i knew who she was. we talked on the phone for about six months getting to know each other getting from only with each other building some trust she needed to feel safe because our

children were told that there was something wrong with us they were told an alternate story that we were drug addicts prostitutes. soldiers were killed in a suicide bombing in afghanistan early on sunday local jun assault on the fires the reports from kabul. suicide bomber on foot across a nato convoy in north of kabul in the middle of the city of charcoal are. called colors i.e. and detonated his explosive laden vest killing a least three. service members according to. a statement three have been killed and three more have been wounded one of the

wounded is american and to rest or afghan police forces local prevention spokesperson confirmed the attacked saying that there are still civilian casualties but it has been a very vulnerable area nearby bagram air base so this is have been vulnerable because it has diminished your number of the u.s. forces based in there so taliban have been launching attacks sometimes mortar attacks and sometimes the plant or improvised explosive device and they usually commit suicide attacks against these forces soldiers killed in an attack were to check nationals. from the center for conflict and peace studies believes the last thing peace in afghanistan looks increasingly unlikely. well i think it it is realized why almost everyone all sides of the complex. you know military solution in afghanistan is not a solution to this there has to be

a political solution taliban is still the largest in the strongest militant group in afghanistan fighting against the americans fighting and we have one government and it's another internationally but if we see. if a lot of people argue that ok if there is a species deal with the taliban will completely come to an end i think it's still unrealistic because you know we are our government here is in our system and here in kabul is that even if the taliban stop fighting completely some of its hard core elements or those taliban that are fighting for profit money well switch to groups like. weapons discovered in the former terrorist stronghold of eastern aleppo in syria have been traced back to western manufacturers around war correspondent robert fisk identify their origins through their serial numbers and try to find out how exactly they ended up in the hands of mr militants one hour

from marty's caleb morgan. this is a weapons factory located in bosnia most likely you have never heard of it but it's here that the weapons were manufactured for one of the bloodiest battles in syria lots of homes were destroyed and lots of civilians were killed in western aleppo by those questionable rebels now most of those rebels are tied to the al qaeda linked al nusra a terrorist group but let's focus on those weapons that they used robert fisk an investigative reporter was able to trace those weapons back to that very factory in bosnia he was able to get a hold of the factories logbook and getting in touch with the former weapons control director the director recognized his signature in the logbook and from there was able to determine who the buyer was it's a warranty for the hundred twenty millimeter shell this is standard it went to saudi arabia it was pulled to the supply of five hundred malts as i remember the so

the shipment whoa the saudis came to a factory to inspect the weapons at the beginning of twenty sixteen the response from saudi officials was pretty much a denial they said that the investigation was vague and undefined however their response seemed pretty vague as well so do you rabia is a leading voice within the international community in support of a diplomatic solution to the conflict in syria while at the same time working with our neighbors and allies to counter the growth of forces of extremism but it's not just saudi arabia the former weapons director says that nato and the united states pretty much run the show at the weapons making facility or low production off to the bulls and wars under the control of the americans. who are always coming home and they know each and every piece of weaponry that leaves a factory we also asked nato for a response but they didn't have any details to share even though the web.
