response to this criticism is seen as a power play by the kingdom's young leader. that they're no longer going to sit back and let people criticize them and ignore demands for political liberalization which is interesting because it seems like both canada and saudi arabia are kind of just doing what the us does all the time yeah it's we're going to get into twitter wars we're going to get into this like and slappy thing and we're going to be like no my ball i take good i'm a powerful noun listen to me i'm going to be king one day i mean right now you're not ever going to be kidding but i'm super liberal it's going to be great if you want to big asian here i mean while we're bombing yemen and i'm not saying this is the question i think it makes a good point why when you're out your ally of your ally might not be your friend and that's the situation and when she you have counted on the united states and saudi arabia maybe it's time that we don't have. company you know countries like that investing and come government infrastructure when this kind of stuff happens it's good boy all right as we go to break mark watchers don't forget to let us know

what you think of the topics covered on facebook and twitter see our full show at our t.v. dot com coming up sean stone delves into the debate over the iran trouble and travel bans for with attorney daria stay to watch ai. thank. you. it's only natural that baby boomers were vote for policies that help them i house price boom the stock price of things and it disenfranchised the bottom you know age groups but this list oh well. tough luck buddy get a job kids get a job. with

a post. last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs. first offense. blues that. is the main thing. they have this is the this is for me. i like it when. i don't see it or know. it a make or. break. for.

now well. good politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want. to go on to be press this is what before three of the more people. i'm interested in the waters in the. city.

this week the united states led by president donald trump and his team of around warhawks re-instated they have it you cannot mix sanctions that were in place before the obama administration lifted them as part of a twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal but he saw this move coming after trump's decision back in may to pull out of the international deal which was designed to limit around nuclear weapon capability in exchange for the removal of sanctions but it's not just the sanctions that are continuing to drive a stake in the heart of us or a man relations because also twisting the knife deeper is the trumpet ministrations controversial travel ban which even the atlantic council bilious falls hardest on iran brazenly sean stone sat down with payment. darman and attorney and founder of chosen lawyers to discuss the u.s. around relations and trump's travel ban. well frankly.

i see a much wider and more sinister picture than what donald trump is showing the world. and first it's not even about religion this is a direct attack on iran by pressuring iranian citizens dual citizens don't know triple citizens of iran and other countries. in order to achieve their political objectives this is. the executive order that basically the third one the third version that you presented because the first two there were so ridiculous. they are contra to the ins which is the immigration and nationality act of one thousand nine hundred five because it directly bans. any prejudices based on national

origin player place of residence or race. and the constitution of the united states bans. even prejudices based on religion and the stablish macaws of the first amendment the free exercise clause of the first amendment they are there for a purpose but the argument of course is that it's not a religious bad because obviously you're lumping in a lot of muslim countries like somalia and iran syria but you're also lumping in venezuela north korea into the band well frankly if they wanted to do this based on religion and based on muslims as is radical rhetorics has been very clear in the past with we know his intent from one side he is bending backwards for the saudis who are actually the founders the founders of many of these organizations to begin with iran was fighting against isis and taliban for

a long time but george bush when he was in office they were fighting on their ugly american site they had nothing to do with nine eleven now they were trying to bring this make this an issue that iran was the funder of nine eleven i'm not representing iran i have no interest in a theocracy but the fact is that if we go back in history we will know we will see that this is an issue that is started in one thousand or one where when the british colonialists took over the iranian oil and this has been all of these sanctions they have been repeating and repeating and repeating. the same. sort of nonsense and there are all iranians this iranian but this is not the case the only thing that iranians have been trying to do is defend their rights and try

to prevent pillage and plunder so all. this immigration that you see they bring other countries a little bit to make it less sort of obvious but this is this is all cunning this is political chicanery we know the fact this is against their owners and it affects me affects i can't even send a few thousand dollars to my mother who is an early eighty's who needs my up now because all the banking. are basically are blocked by the sanctions by the sanctions by crippling sanctions these are no longer. sanctions too because iran is basically complying with all its agreements i mean look at the atomic energy agreement. iran has complied with this is just. sort of mentality sure sure and i mean obviously this administration israelis will have their own arguments as to why the iranians are violating the agreement but the

point being that this travel ban you say has to do with iran because here we're talking about syria yemen other somalia i mean i don't i don't see necessarily why they are part of the considered part of the iranian sphere i mean yemen is kind of being bombed by the saudis syria is still suffering a civil war though assad is there with the russians and the iranians both somalia i don't really see in anyone's necessarily sphere of power so how do you see this pressure on iran through these other countries north korea's well being bar i think they are just. part of the show. they are the most important step here to go against iran and isolated from any country that shows any interest and standing with iran. and again this is not you know the history of. nine hundred fifty one could have.

had it was headed by the united states of america and this is a lingering effect that is just being repeated and those who do not know their history as the proverb says. are doomed to repeat the same mistakes again and again and again and unfortunately people are being fooled well here we are of course being ripped having our history repeating itself with this supreme court decision to uphold the president's ability to use national security as just pick ation for banning people from certain countries now we've seen this is storage lee being used against chinese laborers we've seen it used against the iranians in the poll in the wake of the seventy nine revolution we've seen it against even like jews during the holocaust for example or communists at one point in the fifty's were barred from coming here. anarchists before that so what does that actually mean for the supreme court to uphold this president of the president having the ability to block people just based on what country they live in from visiting or

coming trying to move to the u.s. well your brother very important point they have practiced banning people based on religion actually san louis ship had nine hundred thirty five jews. they were running away from the eve of war. and humanity i think. they were not allowed to. come to the united states they were shipped to latin america somewhere then we have the irish catholics the they were banned also to come to the united states to mention chinese the japanese i mean internment we have a very dark history very dark prejudicial history and what this supreme court did in fact put a rubber stamp on a very ridiculous executive order i've read it i've read all three of them and this is this is nothing that is compelling. to

save us from terrorism this because that's when you are banning people based on their fundamental rights i'm talking about as an american i am i am affected by this baby's crippling sanctions and these bands and we are actually being ridiculed i have been. facing a lot of nonsense since this man took power because they just. how can i say that it stirs the nonsense it makes it even more up to your face and prejudices and prejudices yes. but going to a little bit of what is actually the real implications of practically speaking what will happen now to people like yourself who hold dual citizenships that involve include iran i mean is it possible for an iranian to get

a visa to come here or if you travel if you already have a visa can you travel here i mean do we even know the implications of what this decision means well technically for three months there is a complete and. people who do not have direct relations. the united states so if somebody just wants to come and visit the united states. they probably won't get their visas and many of them actually many green card holders were turned back at the border you can't do that that's a direct violation of due process but it's probably because of confusion it would seem to me that there's a confusion in how to actually execute this order and how do you actually execute this policy it seems like there's a lot of confusion and chaos within the state department as to how do we actually treat people with green cards pieces and other forms of documentation from visiting right yes that is correct there is confusion but i also think it is.

lawlessness there just direct violation of law. i mean after all this look at these children from latin america or the border there are snatching them from their parents the bosom of their mothers is young kids they put them in cages. if rex needs are wild animals what's right could they pose and all of these we have to look over this way these will have major implications years from now generations from now because this is not something that we can get away we get another president and issue is resolved it's not this is america it just goes against the whole concept of america being a shining city on a hill of humanity it's just not comporting with that ideology we're actually

practicing. certain violent ways of dealing with matters that could be resolved in a very peaceful way and according to the laws of the united states almost like nazis in germany a lot of people they actually say this is exactly what happened in germany prior to . creating a close world like. john denver celebrate the percy admet meteor showers and his famous song rocky mountain high with the lyrics i've seen it remain fire in the sky and you can see the same fires raining in the sky this weekend one of the most popular and well known of meteor showers the perseids are out its peak and can show off one hundred fifty to two hundred meteors an hour most of them easily be seen by the naked eye but showers come from a very special comet this with total comment which was scattered in eight hundred sixty two by lewis title and horace parnell tuttle lewis swift and horace parnell total traveling on a one hundred thirty year orbit the comets your earliest hour of stardust will be

the most easily a visible on the evening of sunday august twelfth going into the early morning hours of monday august thirteenth celestial events like the perseids meteor showers are believed to be everything from the tears of st lawrence the catholic saint who's sort of the early christian version of robin hood and of course. of germany folk culture it is seen as good fortune heavenly gift of stardust fire from the sky this weekend look up and get a new perspective on the world we share with comets and interest hawk watchers i was going to end the segment with a meteor shower upon or a joke but it was just too out of this world. are terrible you know tabitha turns twenty nine this week and again. i like my twenty nine for a day now that you can win this is what we definitely get out and see this would be beyond all nature and it's always nice to see in the universe where you know it's majesty it's amazing it's really good pretty much everywhere i go check it out on

sunday night and try to go so when we come back tomorrow because today this is all we've got for today remember everyone in this world we are told we are loved up so i tell you all i love you but i am a robot and on top of a lot less keep on watching those hawks come for great day and night ever. first. of all those doubts. don't get all so diageo out on the first day. how my custom of trying to hush. the student. that. really. was

a. eight day detail rarely get to most rigid. but groups or something but as the she knew. her. was the right. direction one must look at. the gears related so read them. if they were in the prostate group of course i mean that one of the most news in the us to mobile me bird. flu come this morning smile at.

the church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it. when you literally have to call this to do graphics solution. what the bishop means to do then he finds out that the priest is a perfect truth is simply moved to a different spot were the previous. highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice so something that does not give us the eye and then i conclude that it just.

gets felt from. the kremlin says the latest u.s. sanctions on russia over this kind of power poisoning in the u.k. are unacceptable and unlawful u.s. state department believes that moscow is responsible for the use of a chemical weapon against its own nationals. also to come it's being revealed facebook relies on u.s. funded experts to tackle foreign influence on its platform we take a look at how the state is tightening its grip on social media networks and the u.s. senate invites the head of the thieves to testify on alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen election. a tribe seeking the return of a sacred statues one hundred years ago and now on display at the british museum we

ask businesses there should be a term you've got a. british empire and stuff needs to be retired and i think it's about heritage so it's just our history. that welcomes just gone three pm here in moscow you watching r.t. international and we start this hour too with news from yemen because. over forty civilians have reportedly been killed by a saudi led air strike most of them children the strike hit a school bus and many of the victims were under the age of ten around sixty brigid a warning you might find the following images upsetting well the saudi led coalition has issued a statement saying the attack was a legitimate military operation was carried out in accordance with international

humanitarian law the saudis also accuse heathy rebels of using children as human shields saudi arabia along with the united arab emirates has been conducting strikes in the northern part of the country since twenty fifteen. now unlawful and unacceptable that's how the kremlin describes the latest u.s. sanctions on russia they were imposed over the poisoning of double agent powell and his daughter in the u.k. back in march kremlin spokes person to be sure peskov said it was too early though to discuss counter measures as russia hadn't yet received any official confirmation . discuss the new sanctions with initial setting. the united states six two thousand and eighteen determined that the government of the russian federation has used chemical biological weapons against its own nationals despite any new evidence coming to light the us wants to impose sanctions on russia and

this is in regards to the form of poisoning of form of double agent sake a script on his door to get back in march now the sanctions will be implemented and two sets the fish sets will ban licenses for the export of sensitive national security goods to russia including electronic items and these kind of exports have been previously allowed on a case by case basis the second round of sanctions though will be more severe this will be the prohibit us baron colognes the ten minute carrier landing rights which we could affect flights from russia to the u.s. and fed the restrictions on exports and imports as well but the u.s. says they that the second round of sanctions will come into effect unless russia provides reliable assurances that it won't use chemical weapons in the future and agrees to on site checks by the u.n. but when you say reliable assurances it was last year twenty seventeen the

international community the o.p.c. w confirmed the destruction of all chemical weapons in russia exactly the chemical weapons watchdog verified the destruction and can fend this in september two thousand and seventeen but we're still waiting for now evidence as to why sanctions of being imposed now and the u.s. has already implemented measures you might remember that around sixty diplomats were expelled by the u.s. last spring when this saga fest escalated but when questions at the press conference the state department official didn't mention any fed the reasoning behind the sanctions whether this was because of old evidence or new evidence let's take a listen to what they had to say. where are you getting the conclusion that rush is behind this creep are poisoning i will leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding of the script whole affair we've been very clear that we agree with the assessment that it was a joke agent and that the perpetrator was ultimately the russian federation. i'll

leave it to others to give those kinds of details of what we currently understand obviously from reading the press it appears that their investigation is ongoing in terms of the scope and nature of the details and its implications but i'll leave that to others the key words there from the official swear a leave it to others to give the details so whether the u.s. wants the u.k. to disclose the evidence behind the attack remains to be seen and the u.s. is now skating around the reasoning at the moment issuing fresh sanctions without fresh evidence and all the while russian officials here in moscow keep asking for transparency for evidence of keeps asking can russia be involved in this investigation and yet we understand the basis of the u.k. as evidence still falls on the quote highly likely stance well the case views on this always has been highly likely that russia is behind this attack saying that only russia has the motives the means and the record to target the school policy

and moreover as well moscow has repeatedly denied involvement with this offering offering like you said cooperation on the investigation which london has repeatedly denied but so far we know that the chemical weapons watchdog the a.p. c.w. and porton down haven't been able to confirm the origin of the nerve agent we have not verified the precise source but we provided the scientific information to the government but you have not been able to establish at porton down that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide aid you know the scientific evidence that identifies for the particular and their future is but it's not our job to see where that actually was manufactured to be create your not table look gotten down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that as analysis of the p.c. w.'s report i did too far as the country. of origin of the agent use.

in this attack and now we're left with this highly likely stance from the u.k. and the u.s. is issuing this fresh round of sanctions but we haven't seen any new information come to light here in the sanctions that the let's be imposed on or around august the twenty second in the meantime the u.k. prime minister's office has welcomed the new batch of u.s. sanctions on russia the russian embassy saying it only wants transparency it still asks can we please to be a part of this investigation of the russian embassy calling these sanctions describing them as draconian measures well the sanctions have not yet been imposed but are already impacting the russian economy with the ruble plummeting to its lowest since the twenty sixteen crash former u.s. diplomat believes the new sanctions actually have a little to do the script case i would go so far to say that the u.s. government like the british government knows very well that the russians were not responsible for this and that this is

a political demand this is designed to undercut the overtures from the trump administration for president trying to warm relations with moscow with russia and this is a way to undercut that by making accusations against russia that are not only false but there's no way they can disprove president trump would like to have a good relationship with russia i think political ploy to conduct centrally a kind of warfare against russia and i think that people in the kremlin know that i think they know there is nothing they can do nothing they can say that would satisfy these demands. facebook could have closer ties to washington than previously thought it's now emerged the platform is relying on experts funded by branches of the u.s. government and or so now when it comes to tracking foreign influence with him or his. how's that for a mark zuckerberg nightmare he or his team in front of a horde of suits go and sort these russian bots out sort out the fakes

sort them out or did i just paint a good picture of the reality web giants of been facing lately in the past election you. we've seen how foreign actors are abusing social media platforms those images that can be attributed or associated with the russian company lack of resources a lack of commitment and a lack of genuine effort the likes of zogby could have proudly said we're just a platform where independent and sorting out what you call fakes is none of our business but when wall street alarm bells are ringing you know how it can happen with the stocks it could be better to zip it and focus on an intense year. see if we stick to be the tough year began with. news feed algorithm the trick was to boost posts with let's say pics of your friends cat and sideline all

that politics related media stuff haha they say this lead to less views likes and comments under donald trump's posts move it on facebook has evolved from policing offensive content to policing news views ideas it can be anything apart from your friend's cat if people flag them as a potential hoaxes we send those to fact checkers and if those factors that is provably false then we will significantly reduce the distribution rights of that content why do you want to just get off our platform will look as a porn to some of this content can be i do think that it gets down to this principle of giving people a voice eventually though the get off our platform way to sort things out still prevailed ok and now it's time to meet the fact checkers journalists have found them in a tiny room at these guys h.q. got it at the end of the day fail.
