10:03 pm
when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it means to live in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict just found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no way to parent and that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victim's families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.
10:04 pm
seemed wrong all but all all just all. in the world to get to shape out just to become educated and in gains from it because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. to begin to think he said he was talking up a bit better. than the. now single you have here this is the. only talking to this. not. only is he good he's right. and that a lot of what i think about tom and i scared but i'm about the same as art and i was up the money into the magazine but i'm going to. tell you no longer i left my.

10:06 pm
i sleep. in the stories that shaped the week tantamount to torture that is how russia describes the conditions in which the us is holding the queues come one agent in the we speak to her boy. situation a bit particularly for someone like her someone who i don't think ever envisioned spending a day in jail or a life to be in what's a pretty tough syllabi. us in turkey tensions get worse as a warns relations have almost come to a complete halt. and the syrian city of aleppo one of the worst hit by the war is undergoing extensive reconstruction after years of conflict.
10:07 pm
are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r.t. international as we recap the week's top stories with our weekly program. so this week there was another twist in the latest alleged russian spy scandal in the u.s. the russian embassy in washington says that maria is being subjected to conditions that are tantamount to torture she is charged with being a. foreign agent and was recently transferred to a different jail meanwhile a crowdfunding campaign has been launched to pay for her legal fees her lawyer updated us on her condition. i was unaware that she was transferred until last night at around midnight i received a collect call from her at home and the phone was disconnected before we could get through but i knew it was from alexandria jail so i drove down and tried to get in last night and could not but i was able to get in this morning and visit her so she is in alexandria detention facility at least for now for this weekend it's
10:08 pm
a smaller facility than the d.c. jail as respected facility but it's hard to know why the move was made where there was made for medical or other reasons or in response to complaints about the conditions in d.c. she does have arthritis in one of her legs kind of a history of problems with that leg so she sought treatment for that and so far has just received tylenol and nothing else and i think she has also been a little bit frustrated by policy when people are in protective custody they do bad checks every fifteen minutes at night to check on detainee safety and i think sometimes depending on who the guard is you know the lights are turned on every time there's a check and so it's very hard to get proper sleep when you're being woken up every fifteen minutes she's segregated from the general population of the prison facility you know no contact really with outside people besides her lawyers and occasional phone calls and when you're being held. in some isolation like that it's difficult because every everything i think you want to do is kind of
10:09 pm
a one off request there isn't a very set schedule and so it was very difficult to make sure she was getting her proper exercise and. trips to the library and things like that because everything she did she had to do by yourself doesn't anyone would have an easy time in prison but in this is an accomplished student you know someone who i don't think ever envision spending a day in jail or a life to be in you know it's a pretty tough facility. bhutto was refused bail after pleading not guilty as she is also accused of offering sex in an attempt to get a job with an unnamed special interest group if convicted boots and faces up to fifteen years in prison no date has been set yet for the trial however her lawyer remains optimistic she's in very good shape she's helping actively with us to prepare the defense she's confident in her innocence there's no allegation of espionage there's no allegation of classified information style geishas she was paying anyone off there's no allegation she was recruiting spies none of the things
10:10 pm
you would typically see in an espionage case the allegations are fairly vanilla that she attended meetings of various groups that were public that she had dinners with various people and she took a lot of selfies as i think a lot of people are twenty's do with with people she met and posted them on facebook so this is not the kind of a typical this is no comparison to what the allegations were against for example at a chapman or others where there was actual whether they were true or not their actual allegations about the use of sophisticated equipment and payoffs and spy ring and things like that there's none of that here with some point maybe try to get her released pretrial again we're just looking through documents trying to find the proper evidence to do that and i think we may be able to do that hopeful in the next couple of weeks. as the u.s. and turkey economic standoff goes from bad to worse with both sides slapping big tariffs on each other president to one has one that is ready to challenge washington. there's somebody they can threaten us with the economy sanctions
10:11 pm
exchange rates interest rates inflation is what we tell them we've uncovered your schemes a new challenge. tensions rose after all detained an american pastor for alleged terror links washington then put new tariffs on turkish metals ending the lira to record lows against the dollar in return hiked rates on t. american products including cars and alcohol the u.s. now insists its sanctions will stay even if the pastor is released. porton this this one american to put global financial stability at risk. to u.s. base presence in turkey at risk put a nato ally line for the nato partner at risk for one american who's being put through the church is just so you're saying this is our faults turkey is the financial situation has been in the works for quite some time and it dates prior to
10:12 pm
the imposition of sanctions on august i believe was august the first so this is been in train for quite some time and you cannot blame the us government for that stepping in on turkey's side as qatar which will pump fifteen billion dollars into the country's economy artie's done quarter looks at how the decades old alliance between the u.s. and turkey has come to this. country was built entire if so now leaving us to great trade deals as opposed to the horrible food trade deals there are in heritage as your president of the country should not be allowed to come in and steal the wealth of all great you and me. what countries could he mean are stealing could be turkey the countries lira shed a quarter of its value against the dollar in just one week after trump's tweet about doubling existing tariffs investors are running away screaming inflation surging and turkey's leadership is bracing for an all out trade war the reason for
10:13 pm
such a calamity against an old nato friend was ankara's refusal to release an american pastor accused of both terrorism and espionage it's punishment time for a rebellious ally that tariffs that are in place on steel would not be removed with the release of pastor bronson and president her to want lashed out in defiance calling the u.s. move and attempt to force turkey to surrender and make them a slave to the greenback come through of doing things. to come more. and do you want to use this for political purposes but turkey is just one example of how the trumpet ministration treats longtime allies in fact many of america's friends have already been forced into the fray in a war of tariffs and sanctions canada had heavy steel and aluminum tariffs imposed
10:14 pm
earlier this year and trump perhaps thought the stars and stripes needed some protection from its northern neighbor who didn't take too kindly to it that it's kind of insult to move forward with retaliatory measures on july first applying equivalent tariffs as if that wasn't bad enough the us president went and slapped tariffs on europe today i'm defending america's national security. by placing tariffs on foreign imports of steel and aluminum brussels tried to hit back with restrictions of its own tried to appeal to the transatlantic solidarity special relations bonds of friendship but to no avail and it begs the question with such a long list of enemies the us is currently fighting from iran to north korea russia china why can't your allies i think this has become a real tit for tat thing and i do not for a new york minute think that the pastor is really what is going on here of course
10:15 pm
are washington with that group of strain for some time ever since the coup attempt against terror go on i suspect there's something going on with regional politics maybe with regard to syria that is really the reason behind competitors like beijing and moscow attempting to pack as much heat as the u.s. these days sanctioning and scaring everyone in view may be the only way for the u.s. to impose its will on friend and foe alike donald quarter r.t. in protest against want.
