it was. a motorway bridge collapsed in the northern italian city of genoa sending vehicles plunging one hundred meters below thirty people are confirmed dead also ahead in the program. ah.

police in london confirm they are treating a car crash in westminster as a terrorist incident after a vehicle smashed into security barriers on parliament during the morning rush hour . washington gets the cold shoulder for imposing sanctions on middle eastern nations around say yes there will be no negotiations with the u.s. while turkey also. it's. good to have your company this hour my names you know mail on your chandon to our inter-national top story this hour a major motorway bridge collapse in the northern italian city of genoa sending vehicles plunging one hundred meters interior minister material say thirty people

are confirmed to have been killed including a child. well let's talk now to a talian civil engineer alessandro said tanny alice thunder thank you for coming on the program the structural integrity of the bridge is being blamed for what happened why was it open to traffic if that was the case we know that it had only just undergone maintenance works

a little ever about leeds yes the looking going to collapse because that would be greeted us traction. and a problem here's the king of the majors the failure was there were a breeder crash or other in force and concrete this kind of pressure is suddenly a highly distracting breach probably labs they're going to create a report in edo. of the breach maintenance of such that we should be as it is highly costly so in my day there works. for the maintenance where the problem is he sent but it probably was unpredictable on a such router structure so they find out. so these would be the current would be managed by doing. the seizure that would be overly afterward and rebuilds because they're highly cost that for maintenance are really

probably good for this kind of probably a little core today. yet we knew it happened during a thunderstorm under very inclement weather in that particular area between the sea and the mountains genoa. how could a storm though have such an impact on a concrete structure yes the tree vance may be probably co-relate. he will see breached like once will be highly. highly patched on a wheel when you slow week. there probably is the concrete that is probably already cracked and re the so much heat and the oscillations due to the natural we lol we really reese reese or. fracture so your that was in my because of the use of the studio so

yes it will be highly related it's extraordinary really the a ten is a toll road isn't that what its maintenance be controlled by the company managing it or by the government my question the centrally being who is ultimately responsible and is the italian government are the investing enough in infrastructure in roads and in bridges making them safe enough. well they wrote. wrote is a true much is not a whole and from the government in particular. breach was the rule from gene right to someone and it is all learned from private only that these call it just another battalion the stuff privates or not. you know general rule they're responsible and maintenance and in this case of the events is their goal

are all the infrastructure but entire eternity so great there are all saw. how to see when they can say shun the steward was even by the government to these private companies it may be harder. between the two parties so i can. not by now. know we. really don't matter between. this week she's no real responsible and. naturally can wait we'll be there all night so i'll just the other three tell you but i'm not sure because it would be harder again in this room but he's ok with thank you very much for coming on the program and sharing your expertise we know you're not very far away from genoa so we just like to really send our condolences to that city and the people affected we've been speaking to our son who was attorney

a civil engineer in northern italy thank you so much but. police in britain have confirmed they are treating a car crash outside parliament as a terror attack the vehicle crashed into security barriers after injuring cyclists on pedestrian string choose the morning rush hour the driver was the tane by armed police who rushed to the city. was. was. was.

well run seven thirty am a silver hotspot drove speed through the westminster area before crashing into bar ears i'd side the high says of parliament coming down in this way to hear but for parliament summer recess this would really normally just be a bustling government area though with iconic landmarks nearby big band is there at westminster abbey as well it's always very popular with tourists now police have lifted the cordon from the area and say intelligence indicates there is no further danger to the public what we do know is that three people have been injured two where hospitalized with non life threatening injuries and the driver was arrested on suspicion of terror offenses and is said not to be cooperating however it is believed he is from the city of birmingham in the midlands following the incident

extra officers are patrolling the streets of england scotland and wales currently a government emergency committee known as cobra is holding a muster meeting and i think that is still ongoing right now i was to see a church in the meantime reports for us from westminster we are as close as physically possible to the houses of parliament that area is now cordoned off as you can see behind me while police now investigate what is. exactly that happens what we do know is about twenty minutes before age in the morning what is being described as a silver ford fiesta had hit cyclists and then crashed into security barriers right outside houses of parliament again the parliament right now is in recess so no m.p.'s were present there at the time and we know that armed police had arrested one man and taken him to into custody to a police station in south london where he is being questioned according to scotland

yard however this mound is not cooperating with authorities quite yet this is what they had to say the driver of the fiesta he was alone in the vehicle was arrested at the scene by armed officers who were already knew. the man is in his late twenty's and he's been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offenses and has been taken to a sample of the police station where he remains in custody. given that this appears to be. the method of this being an iconic site we are treating it as a terrorist incident and the investigation is being led by officers from the counterterrorism from the two people were injured and taken to hospital it's understood that they're not in critical condition and are going to be fine following this attack and so we've been talking to a witness here a local resident who saw it all with his own my eyes let's take a listen to how he described what happened i was seeing. a car driving erratic lead towards i was apartment and the bridge be. the one of the big logs the

barrier is did you see the man who was in the car for the rest i. think he was quite a dog. a. year or two and he seemed quite . home to meet didn't seem. i didn't see him i didn't hear him screaming or anything will show him and get it written. the risk is worrying because i'm a father of two young sons you know age almost seven and five and a half and we're in i mean but. this is like this is one of this is like the number one city in the world in my prince of london you know you so many tourists come here throughout the year and you know it's beautiful wherever and you know another thing i understand all the m.p.'s on holidays where to land is i don't know what it's all about well if confirmed by the police that this is

a terrorist attack it's going to turn out to be the first one this year but unfortunately one of several have taken place recently. you won't succeed and you want to fight us we'll be cowed by terrorists. you will see over the next few days an increased number of. across london. the attempts to make countless acts of kindness that brought people closer together . and. they continue to be visible patrols around manchester which include the deployment of offices.

in london as will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days no reason to be a lot. of the people in a day. londoners will see an increased number of peaceable police officers. but we have discussed the incident with former intelligence officer charles shoe bridge and expedition police officer roger gray. there's no question that intelligence is key to foiling sorting and i believe in preventing these attacks taking place and in that respect for example as we've seen today if the

intelligence systems fail to the extent that an attacker actually gets through to his target today it was against a hard target but it wasn't to be a softer target in terms of civilians in the street for example tourists and so on then of course there's nothing can be done at that stage and very little can be done to actually protect them should this indeed turn out to be a terrorist attack but of course it's too early at this stage at least to speculate about today's incident and whether any of those considerations were actually applied but generally speaking of course intelligence cooperation between the different intelligence bodies and trust that's needed between those intelligence parties to actually share intelligence in a meaningful way and in a timely way rather than just sitting on the intelligence is absolutely vital and not just between europe in another partners but between the intelligence services and the police in the countries themselves including as has been a problem in the past in the united kingdom to there's a danger of overreaction as well london is congested enough as it is it toyman if

we start being more thought of no go zones as it were let's go to become worse and also we don't want to give any terrorist or a person any sense of success in in carrying us into doing one thing or the other the result of their actions so it's something that should be considered but why very carefully. iran's supreme leader sais he won't negotiate with washington after president trump's latest offer to talk about improving ties at the same time president early one has a nonstarter turkey will boycott u.s. elektra products picking up the story. donald trump not known for his modesty never stops bragging about the fact that he wrote the art of the deal seems that when it comes to his role as commander in chief he sees himself as almost the great negotiator and when it comes to north korea you could argue that his approach kind of worked he is a sick puppy rocket man is on

a suicide mission for him so north korea. this make it even worse threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen since taking office donald trump has played up the so-called threat of another geo political rival of america threat posed by iran whose chief exports are violence bloodshed and chaos all nations of conscience most work together to isolate for a minute it started to look like things were cooling off and maybe the talks were on the table i believe in meeting i would certainly meet with the room if they wanted to meet and ready to meet anytime they want to but he runs the supreme leader wasn't having it but i mean look you there will be no war nor will we negotiate with the u.s. it is impossible even if someday the government of the islamic republic of iran

were to negotiate with the us regime it would never negotiate with the current government of the us. and then there is turkey and its detention of pastor and brunson turkish authorities say was tied to the twenty sixteen who attempt now trump says he wants him released. the united states will impose large sanctions on turkey for the long time detainment of pastor andrew brunson this innocent man of faith should be released immediately i have just authorized a doubling of tariffs on steel and aluminum with respect to turkey as the currency the turkish lira slides rapidly downward against a very strong dollar our relations with turkey are not good at this time but turkey is going at a budge and just like trump era one knows how to talk tough not talk about a little adjustment we are partners in nato and then you step your strategic partner in the back we will do as the law dictates you cannot simply make sure you

can bow down and buy boston us around meanwhile russia is not exactly caving in the face of sanctions yes it was possible which the but if some ban on banks operations or on their use of i want to or another currency although it would be possible to clearly call it a declaration of economic war and it would be necessary to react to this war economically politically or even by other means in our american friends in the beach understand this let's remember that those sanctions on north korea were not unilateral they were actually imposed by the united nations but when it comes to the rest of the world trump is on his own and it seems that his reputation as a great negotiator is on the rocks table r.t. washington d.c. more of the evening's news after this.

troops may seem wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any old belief yet to shake out this day you can stick up to it and engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so here you now this new attempt at a global unit of account a global currency big. that will be controlled by. any government has the chance to do what paul failed to do to escape the. keys of the central bankers and they will the economist.

hello again taliban militants have overrun a military base in northern afghanistan killing seventeen soldiers about says the u.n. confirmed over one hundred civilians were killed in the latest clashes between the taliban and afghan forces in the city of. it's long been considered a strategic area situated on the road connecting the capital bull fighting there escalated on friday when the taliban attempted to storm ghastly until control taliban fighters have been blocking the roads in the city to prevent the afghan military getting reinforcements and residents have described seeing dead bodies on the streets and buildings on fire and. almost two decades of the american led war

in afghanistan has failed to make the country it appears any safer. this is what's happening just a little more than one hundred kilometers from the capital kabul there's barely a camera in gaza any available to film this dreadful battle locals say there are stronger descriptions than simply the tele bed is back in action and if it wasn't for us air strikes the afghan army could have been in far worse trouble so it makes you wonder do american diplomats and their military keep in touch there is nothing that precludes us from engaging with the taliban we're doing everything we can to ensure that our actions help the taliban and the afghan government does the same table everything they can only

a few weeks ago the state department said talking with the taliban was a good idea and regardless of how hostile their actions the extremists say they're forward to this is what we wanted and we're waiting for to sit with the us directly and discuss the withdrawal of foreign troops from afghanistan the rumor is there's already been some direct contact at least we know for sure alice wells went to qatar last month where the taliban's got a political office i'm confused the armed group has all but regained its might which not so long ago are in them a reputation of outright islamist barbarians in america and pretty much all over the world we acted and the taliban no longer is in power in afghanistan which is not only good for the security of the free woad it is incredibly good for the people who suffered in afghanistan on the barbaric rule. time flies us

administrations common go fair enough but the things the people in charge say about insurgents today could be totally different tomorrow taliban this taliban that the taliban are fighting isis and we encourage that because isis needs to be destroyed. oh so they're good for something at least if it's about knocking out islamic state yet just a few months earlier general nicholson said the taliban's fight against diana she was a piece of russian propaganda and there are live this being used that grossly exaggerates the number of isis fighters here this narrative then is used as a justification for the russians to legitimize the actions of the taliban and provide some degree of support complicated hall of ghana stan business as usual and the american strategy for afghanistan see above it could be time for the pentagon

and the state department to hunt for ideas together and be more precise. so let's get the thoughts of muslims. in the parliamentary candidate welcome to the program it seems there are some uncertainties in the u.s. strategy in afghanistan what is washington's goal do you think is it more important for them to defeat the taliban or are they still. thanks for having me while in the dieting the poor idea would you mentioned about the. u.s. strategy is something which everyone asking the question of that and i believe seeing the on the ground situation especially in the north and the forty a province on the order march as you mentioned out also they gassed me which is a hot news and here i knew a news what was going on in the gaza city as you mentioned in the report every one of the bodies did bodies so it means that there's no clear is that do you two are

going to defeat the taliban in this terrorist group or because there were several reports about the coming of the taliban to water you guys the one month before but there was no action by us or uk and government and also as you knew that recently the afghan government transferred to doing. i assigned a spy there is from that that is a district to the central province off jos on admission of on so indeed there is lots of question and there is unclear the on the ongoing situation of afghanistan u.s. general john nicholson said last month that they are ready for direct talks with the taliban to end this drawn war is the us looking for a way out do you think or will they remain beyond the end of any conflict. well i don't think that there will be. a mark on the end of conflict in afghanistan the seeing of the situation on the ground and the and that it begin which is going

on in this country is not something that we see it as an end of the conflict in afghanistan so in this case i don't believe that there will be out the it to withdrawal from this war by us or adding either a country which we see as a proxy war is going on here so in this case i believe that there was also will be the and there will not be a clear strategy for withdrawing gulf foreign forces from afghanistan muslim assured parliamentary candidates thank you for your time this hour. you're watching r t international see you in thirty minutes but in the meantime more great programs lie right ahead.

now. you know world of big partisan through things a lot 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 past 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 for watching closely for watching the hawks.

america was never great was founded on a rape in a murder. nothing changed so we said oh response to these situations that we do in the ways. people get shot every other day she is just sad people kill each other blood for killing children. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down by law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this this can't be happening in america we call from the streets we got to deal with life this is the reason i have to rat like this is a reason. i

am us guys are this is the kaiser report in our washington d.c. where a lot of things are happening and we're going to get down to it right now with sixty well max we are here to see safety in a moose and his new book the between standard which is an instant classic as you say and we had dinner with him last night but what i want to talk about is the coin and understanding that point because this is kind of the theme of this episode of course it is going to take down the pillars of government as you see behind us all the capitol hill and the white house and i want to look at a tweet here tweet stream that we had with the toshi nakamoto himself some interactions we had with him or at least a guy who alleges he is he's a bit of

a bonehead most people say but nevertheless somebody tweeted that you know a link to some of the people who should follow in order to understand crypto they put a. novelist being eric for he's roger of there and then professor faust who is this fakes a toshi guy and then max kaiser and he wrote about you he said you put me next to keyes or chill and ponzi temper of the decade erg bitcoin is cash freedom and that somehow it all ponzi so what do you have to say that max poppy cock. doesn't understand really there is off history of money that came before bitcoin and there's a need for people to have hard money and that there's a need to exit the government system and there's a need to exit the central bank system and if the object of your.
