as we understand directly in front of the white house at this time there's roughly twenty four individuals who call themselves white nationalists associated with white supremacy groups and you can't see them because behind me directly behind me there is a crowd of thousands of people that are out here to counter them there are thousands of people here this crowd has been growing sense approximately noon on and at this point it just keeps getting bigger now we're seeing far left to activists we're seeing churches community organizations black nationalist organizations just a huge outpouring of thousands of people here to denounce the twenty four individuals who have in mass in front of the white house with a huge amount of police protection now earlier we did have an opportunity to speak with some of the people who had assembled here at the white house and we were here to talk to them and a lot of these folks who came out to do to counter the ku klux klan to counter the white nationalist a lot of them had different ideas some of them buy into this idea that russia is

responsible for divisions in the usa but others do not i think the source of the division is there's always some hatred deep inside in some percentage of people i think. the source of it is just some of it is natural i think unfortunately going to give it a platform to let it expand it kind i think it can get easily out of hand so you buy in the idea that it's russia's falls that the people having the rally over there is somehow the fault of russia russian bought tacker facebook yet not even a little and why do you think that's so big in the mainstream media why are they pushing that so hard. that's a good question i don't know i think it kind of it's comforting to hear that this is russia's fault and not something that's been the wrong with america since the foundation of this country it's nice to say it's russia's fault go and it's trumps fault and that once trump is gone and once you know the elections are more secure and all races never fade away because the russian bots or the russian hackers are no longer influencing people to be racist but that's not true it's just a nice story can tell us. well to say this racism and this is the white supremacy

of united states is not the fault of the united states the fault of russia you know whatever else now when it comes to that russia russia question the crowd is not unified but they are unified in denouncing these forces that are assembled in front of the white house there are a lot of signs invoking memories of what happened one year ago in charlottesville there are a lot of signs invoking the black lives matter movement and opposition to police brutality we're seeing a lot of different political forces represented out here community organizations school groups religious organizations a lot of different folks here to counter the very very small crowd of roughly twenty four individuals associated with white supremacist and white nationalist organizations so huge huge turnout here in d.c. to denounce the folks gathered around the white house where there unite the right two point zero rally huge mobilization lots of different forces here lots of different causes represented all of them denouncing the ku klux klan white supremacy ism so quite a diverse crowd out here so far we have not heard any reports of any violence or

anyone being injured huge police presence we are hearing the sound of police helicopters above there are lots of police standing in front of the white supremacy there are there are lots of police elsewhere around the city the city is on lockdown largely with the metro on a special schedule so situation is tense a lot of anger here a lot of people chanting anger at the white supremacists but as of yet we have not seen any any violence or people hurting each other now the anti fox crowd has come decked out in body armor gas masks almost as if they're ready for a fight but no fights as of yet have broken out. russia's prime minister warned this week if the u.s. goes ahead with sanctions against russia's major banks it will be viewed as an act of economic war that was after a first wave of measures was announced over moscow's alleged role in the poisoning of russian double agent surrogate script his daughter back in march the new sanctions by. russian state owned firms from buying certain american electronic

devices on security grounds a much tougher second wave which has yet to be passed into law could prevent leading russian banks from obtaining credit on international markets picking up the story right now. when it comes to global disagreement sanctions that the u.s. weapon of choice as russia's number two at the u.n. put it let's us welcome the united sanctions of america well russia it's been on the receiving end of plenty of them they stem from allegations of election meddling military aggression human rights abuses all cyber crimes take your pick and the latest well that's of the souls we're poisoning washington says it has determined that russian used a military nerve agent to attack form a double agent say gasquet paul and his daughter where are you getting the conclusion that for she's behind the screen poisoning i would leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding of the screen but others

haven't given any evidence either just various grades of highly likely is highly likely that russia was responsible we do hold russia culpable culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder and there's been uncertainty from specialists investigating the case. as analysis of the p.c. w.'s report i did to find the country. of origin of the agent used in this attack and we continue to see a sort of a series of corporate baggers here of insinuation that russia is involved which basically is a mood music which is feeding the population in the west with the idea yes it is the russians despite the evidence just a constant constant stream of these. people just accept oh yes it must be the russians therefore that's ok we have asked him point more sanctions it's time that we did get all the evidence but my suspicion is that as i'm going to happen

although that seems of little interest to washington which is found moscow guilty slapped it with new sanctions and strangely given it's ninety days to prove it wasn't involved or it will ratchet up the penalties to a whole new level with even talk of branding russia a state sponsor of terrorism that regardless of trump. wanting russia as a partner in his fight against terror and the torso doesn't seem to matter that the us itself has a long history of consorting with groups branded as terrorists for instance america's support for the cuban movement which techie label to terror groups organizing and attempted. sooner or later the united states will make a choice either to. either the bloody. democracy. or how about the american officials here they are a in extremist group then wish i had been. the headquarters of the islamic republic party there is

a viable opposition to the rule of the. and that opposition is centered in this room. and let's not forget how america stood alongside the afghan wish i had been in its battle against the soviet union only to say that group to form into al-qaeda the people we are fighting today we funded twenty years ago. does america dealing with a spider and groups amount to sponsoring terrorism while the state department has a good answer for that i will leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding and. it's not just russia being targeted by pune of us measures turkey the e.u. have been slapped with hefty duties with all the money i'm tired of as high as twenty five per cent turkey's feeling the most heat when it comes to steel knife facing a tar of hike fifty percent as you might expect president trumps hardball trade

policies are not going down well not least in germany where businesses are already suffering the german economy minister warned that the u.s. may be going too far international relations professor peter schultz believes the u.s. is using trade as a foreign policy to. regardless. of the trump administration and just personal appearances and public affairs a rationale behind something he is trying to wage economic war against even against us and by doing this of. threatening them into a lawyer and loyalty just obedience and partnership dominated by the united states i think that trump understands military means to me safety do not solve problems anymore you have to do it indirectly by by economic political or financial means

and this is what you just can't he is playing out i think because this is a this is a policy we have to get answers for and i don't see it's a moment apart from the public appearances of europeans no read and so a conscious strategy. to one of those graphic stories of the past week now senators in the u.s. have accused the government of contributing to another deadly. strike that hit a school bus in yemen on thursday the red cross ses twenty nine children were killed thirty others injured all of them under the age of fifteen the u.s. state department called on the coalition to investigate but underlying too that saudi arabia is a key regional partner we call on the saudi led coalition to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident you also supply the tremendous amount of weaponry and then the data for targeting to the saudis so that

. sorry no lie wrong is that wrong sorry of these ladies every hear laughing. and that i would refer you to the department of defense that is involved in that but you know as you know saudi arabia is an important strategic partner in the region to the united states. well video of the aftermath of the attack shows the extent of the children's injuries and please be warned what we're about to show is upsetting for some to watch the strike hit the north of the country which is under the control of the rebels so the arabiya launched an intervention against them in twenty three the latest united nations data ses the majority of people killed in the call of flaked are dead as a result of correlation strikes over ten thousand fatalities the red cross told r.t. the situation in yemen is strong. we have received twenty nine identified children up to fourteen years old and. forty eight injured among them thirty children but

for the overall top. this needs to be referred to the ministry of health and population of yemen humanitarian situation in the country is catastrophic it's a book relation that has been brought to the brink of collapse the health system is decimated the movement of population is growing because of. conflicts and hostilities going on so really do think that more hostilities and you know the expansion of those hostilities with will exacerbate an already humanitarian situation even more we see violations cross the country and it's nice to. issue or speak about civilian casualties in a matter of less than

a week so for us this is painful and whenever we see civilian casualties we i mean. this is just horrific. or saudi arabia has responded to the accusations saying that it will launch a probe into the incident and also defended its actions the targeting today is a legitimate military action conducted in conformity with the international humanitarian law to target the militants responsible for planning and targeting civilians which resulted in killing and injuring them the former wife vanessa law makes a terrorist has been jailed in russia we've got her story and more besides about ninety seconds.

here now this new attempt at a global town a global currency. that will be controlled by any government so it has the chance to do what paul failed to do to escape the. keys of the central bankers and. the economists.
