as the syrian army gears up to retake the militant held on played it live western media outlets want of a civilian massacre the same outlets though fail to mention the areas under the control of jihadist groups accused of war crimes. led to the storming of mid-term elections living in the u.s. the country warns of alleged external meddling not just by russia now but also by china too with a trade war between beijing and washington in full swing. and the british and canadian governments accidentally exposed passwords and security plans online coming out we speak to the id research if you want to cover the area with a simple google search.

and a very good morning for me kevin i mean this is r.t. international live from r.t. h.q. moscow has just turned nine in the morning so to those headlines in more detail first the syrian army is gearing up for an offensive on the last major rebel stronghold lip the battle for the own clave marks the final stage of the syrian war if the assad forces manage to retake it it'll bring almost the entire country back under government control however the head of the campaign the western media's been doubling down on its narrative against damascus with some saying that assad forces certain to inflict heavy civilian casualties the same outlets though fail to mention the own claims under the control of jihadi groups accused of war crimes are trying to report. these yagur a few of the syrian civil war has strong it's now pretty much about this part of the country the northwest basically here in and around it is where you'll find all

the armed rebel groups the ones still putting up a real fight no wonder getting hold of this area would be the ultimate success for damascus five days after multiple airstrikes hit this once quiet neighborhood in province killing dozens of people shattering whatever illusion of safety that may have existed if you listen to the c.n.n. piece and get the impression it looked province had been a peaceful oasis still showered by those bombs how about telling the viewers about the dicey melting pot it actually is the syrian army has been on a mission to win back land those rebels or even internationally recognized terrorists who stood in their way were given two options take out the white flag or get a one way ticket to a no kidding some were moved there on buses and that's when the real mess began instead of teaming up various groups and went to war with each other and let's not

forget some of the mightiest organizations running the show there moderates. h. t. s. or high yet to. arguably the most powerful and hair raising the very same people who used to be known as moose or syria's al qaida branch and if that name doesn't ring a bell just picture nine eleven or any other bloody carnage that took responsibility for. this is quite a trio to those who've heard of nor. will likely associate them with the beheading of a palestinian boy on camera they've also been blamed for torturing journalists and aid workers jaish al islam paraded kates hostages through the damascus suburbs they

once controlled only to use them as human shields later this group along with was firmly on john kerry's terrorist list when he was in charge of the state department we've seen pictures we've heard testimony of shocking crimes committed by our by book. by al-shabaab it seems even london a staunch ally of some rebel groups has lost patients britain won't send any more cash to fighters an adlib as it says in the times newspaper u.k. diplomats have admitted the remaining rebel areas are falling into the grip of the hottest t.v. giant sky news came up with a teaser for their exclusive report from edward province on twitter but online many weren't buying the media's attempts to portray that place as just a rebel held clave perhaps they've seen this reporting tactic once before during

the siege of syria's economic hub aleppo activists say close to one hundred children have been killed in the east in rebel held area of aleppo a. battle districts of rebel held and able to convince moscow to stop bombing civilians all they talked about was how civilians and moderate opposition fighters were being slaughtered by assad and the russians there was no mention of the jihad as though and their sins something our reporter saw with their own eyes. where in the. and the rebels are pushing into aleppo again. beyond that you're into the rebel held parts of aleppo that is the black flag of job nusra. brainchild in the syrian civil war. though.

we. are always going why. again. enjoy killing. you know. obviously a child is the ocean of a complete reality. the us has found a new culprit when it comes to election meddling china the mainstream media those obsessed with rush's alleged involvement in america votes and is raising the alarm over the upcoming midterms kellam open as the latest little as america prepares for the midterm november elections the mainstream media is beating that same dead horse from twenty sixteen if there is a problem you know who we can blame russian hackers ahead of the midterm it was

agony and security of our next election the russians are targeting members of congress the us midterm elections are just around the corner and russia's attack continues to haunt the united states russian election interference in the twenty thousand midterms the russians have not reduced their hacking but it looks like russia is not the only country capable of assembling an army of keyboard crunchers to maniacally dismantled democracy trump says that another global adversary of the united states is getting in on the action. one of the fools that are so focused on looking only at russia she also looking in another direction china but in the end if we are smart tough and well prepared we will get along with everyone so why does trump want everyone to focus on china so badly well trump is waging a trade war against china a trade war that's quite unpopular with lots of american farmers right now we're in

a fair disadvantage we have no control over anything and everything is based in washington at the train station the chinese we have no control over there but the markets are going to go if this continues for like the time they're going to be certain people are not going to farm and i would say no matter what you think of trump's tariffs nobody likes the idea of china coming into the country and messing up our election process trump wants us to rally around the flag and protect our ballot boxes come to think of it this could be used against any country they don't want you to like it seems like john bolton has figured that out i can say definitively that it's a sufficient national security concern about cheney's meddling iranian meddling in north korea meddling that we're taking steps to try and prevent it so all four of those countries really. our intelligence shows that there are a number of others that are looking at and considering aging particularly in two thousand and eighteen of course no actual evidence is being provided but who needs

evidence anymore these days anyhow now iran russia china and north korea all plotting to meddle in the upcoming elections we shouldn't be surprised that the congress is now working on the election security bill but it's interesting to note that despite this four way pending an attack it seems like this bill will not actually include a hand counted audit but don't worry those easily hacked computer voting systems they can handle anything trump is obviously using china as sort of this target to make it the new big bad guy the big justification he has had for at least the steel tariffs is that because the chinese government gives such a huge a subsidy to its own domestic steel production that we need to fight back of course he's going to want secondary justifications you know suggesting to try to try to influence elections or whatever else the united states has a horrific record in foreign policy the u.s. government is creating one false enemy after another and using that to justified

politically unjustifiable behavior. u.s. national security adviser john bolton who didn't caleb's report they're accusing a number of countries of meddling has also come under suspicion over his connections to external influences democrats are demanding the release of papers relating to his work with foreign nationals over the past seven years one post he's been associated with is pro-gun activist. a russian national accused by the us of a speed knowledge. given the alarming and unprecedented nature of these revelations and the high level position of trust mr botha now holds we request that you produce documents relating to whether mr bolton reported his previous work with this alleged russian spy on his security clearance forms or other white house vetting materials prior to president trump appointed him to his current position the allegations relate to a video in which bolton expresses his support for broader gun rights in russia back in twenty thirteen when bolton then was the head of a national rifle association subcommittee some reports claim he took part in

a round table forum on gun rights that was organized by boots in there and that is what's being taken by democrats than as further potential evidence of a kremlin influence operation in the us where the russian national government to grant a broader right to bear arms to its people it would be creating a partnership with its citizens that are a well federal well families without in any way compromising the integrity of the russian state the u.s. government's alleged that maria bhutto formed relationships with leading national rifle association members in an attempt to alter the republican party's attitude towards russia she's been accused of failing to register as a foreign agent with the attorney general but she has pleaded not guilty to the charges against her and moscow says the whole case in fact is politically motivated we asked political cartoonist ted roll for his thoughts on the security and scrutiny that john bolton is now facing over his toys to boot. i suspect that what happened here is that. someone probably sort of had an accidental finding someone

was searching for something else and just blundered across it and thought hey we can use this now i don't think that there's a lot of chance that this is going to go anywhere and i'll tell you why the rush to get well has been so polluted by two years of telling the public we've got to prove you've got the proof no really we have the proof and then they don't come up with solid evidence or even not even solid evidence or any much evidence at all that democrats have really messed up they they've been talking out of turn they have not been able to come up with any kind of evidence or proof of of russia collusion so at this point i think most of the public has really tuned out. for the most prominent figures in the me too movement to get his harassments have been accused of sexual assault a self italian actress to see a dentist being sued by a former colleague who claims she abused him when he was seventeen and he goes down

off picks up the story this morning. a star in dozens of movies director author and music contributor to bands like placebo or gentle jerk of all trades charged headlong to accuse the now it is graced hollywood producer harvey weinstein of sexually abusing him pioneering the me too movement when the it when women have the same power as men i'm sure this type of violence will no longer happen the cases of women imbues in their parents i hope but i believe there because of me too everyone has a voice everyone has a chance to speak out and inspiring called by all means yet let me replay one quick bit for you. the cases of women m.p.'s in their parents well according to a report by the new york times our gentle herself falls into that category the investigation claims the activist paid nearly four hundred thousand dollars in hush

money to a guy called jimmy bennett who accused her gentle of sexually assaulting him in two thousand and thirteen now even a brief glimpse around social media shows the two have quite a history in two thousand and four bennett played a son of a character in one of the movies and since then a very cordial relationship was maintained waiting for my long lost son miss you mama this borderline flirting between the two has left questions hanging over the grave of the trauma or gentle dealt out why did she agreed to foot the certain bill then well bernard at the time of the incident was a teenager seventeen one year short of the age of consent in california so technically our gentil faced a statutory rape case this is the latest but not the first time champions of me to a noble and valiant movement have cast shadow on their own cause in another case

a feminist professor at new york university was actually found guilty of sexually harassing a gay student of hers in response her defenders appealed to a democrat cheve mint and wit. apart from those in the me two ranks undermining its own cause there's another problem innocent victims last year one traffic hungry swedish tabloid published an anonymous accusations against a stockholm theater director again the article gave no names no one revealed themselves after the publication either stilled benny frederick songs career was ruined after sixteen years at the helm of his theater here is a mind after several months he took his own life after his death and investigation revealed he did nothing wrong just a week later he must have felt like falling into a bottomless abyss and then he hadn't been planning for a long time to take his life he just didn't make it that day it was too bad for

many me too helped overcome the terror of public shame and potential vengeance it showed that no one is immune to justice but as of now hypocrisy and exploitation for personal gain could bring about its demise because done of course part of reporting the quick snapshot of downtown moscow the smalling central moscow where thousands of muslims gathered for islam's holiest holiday we're going to go live to the russian capital as main mosque splendid place after the break. you know world of big. law and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than we

need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. response to the two thousand and eight price was that the backers got together they really architected the global financial system to withstand a time the. financial crisis in the future they did nothing however to undercut the ability for the bad actors the global banks to increase their balance sheets in the leverage by ten times and now here we are in twenty eight and back now the balance sheet the banks the central banks this time time.

for the morning for me kevin owner mosco this is out internationally is just after a few minutes past nine now several missiles have hit the diplomatic district capital kabul local police say the taliban is behind that attack no injuries reported earlier afghan security forces freed nearly a hundred fifty people kidnapped by the taliban ambush on three buses. shortly after the afghan president offered a ceasefire during the muslim holiday currently under way of. that whole kids as well. the three month cease fire proposed by president garny is not the first such motion in afghanistan it probably won't be the last that has the blessing of the us time for peace has a better ring to it than war on terror regardless the taliban are firmly rejected it instead continuing a countrywide military offensive. no no no no no.

no no no no no you know. i saw my friend dying he was among thirteen people including children even women who were killed during a near straight last night there is no attention from the government and no facilities for the residence of the dead bodies are still on the road signs that i've also been injured. military commanders say the truce will only benefit the u.s. led forces they've also been clear no peace will be possible in afghanistan as long as the foreign occupation carries on and as coalition forces approach their seventeenth year of operations in the country how simple things seemed all those years ago we acted and the taliban no longer is in power in afghanistan which is not only good for the security of the free world it is incredibly good for the

people who suffered in afghanistan under barbaric rule a decade and a half later the taliban control large swathes of territory and are able to strike at security forces and civilians almost that will afghanistan has been a battleground for various militant groups something the u.s. views pragmatically the taliban are fighting isis and we encourage that because isis needs to be destroyed the afghan question has forced the u.s. to sway between a military solution and negotiations with the taliban with such hot cold rhetoric from the white house it's hardly surprising. the possibility of mediation as taking years to arise it's been quite a balancing act for washington to have the taliban willing to come to the negotiating table there's no talking to the taliban we don't want to talk to the taliban we're going to finish what we have to finish i want to reinforce to the taliban that the only path to peace and political legitimacy for them is through

a negotiated settlement the taliban trembles as a hero of the you get rid. of him side you the boy before the call for the taliban when their choices are to reconcile live in irrelevance or die in september taliban representatives have been invited for talks in moscow alongside government officials bypassing the united states if successful these could become a step towards the long list ceasefire of them all a permanent solution to a decades long cycle of violence something that today looks as this didn't as ever then all can is there we discussed the prospects of the talks between the taliban of the afghan government with political analysts in disaster at the investigative journalist nicholas davis. the taliban have obvious on their side have concluded you know they need to apply more pressure to force the u.s. to talk to them in a sense it's ironic because you know the u.s.

have always talked about applying enough military pressure to bring the taliban to negotiations to the peace table that has always been the official u.s. policy that in fact it's the taliban who are doing that and. probably have more chance of success the afghan government just recently understood the crucial rule by the other superpowers in the region in russia of course is one of the strongest country russia a pivotal role in in mediating between the taliban and the afghan government and everybody in afghanistan is hoping that something good will happen after the conference in moscow in russia is made eating. and will be also invited in goldman could be also a participant of the conference so there could be some more progress in afghanistan

because the different the negotiation in the introduction between the afghan government in taliban it just on the very first speech. around the balloon muslims across the world are celebrating islam as holy as hala voted. with moscow's main mosque with the world gathered for a traditional sort of a small a real big turnout you know this is the beginning of four days of celebrations isn't this a lot of people up bright and early this morning. yes it's true muslims are indeed celebrating one of the you most important days in the islamic calendar known as the fast of all of sacrifice is celebrated worldwide and only in russia by millions of people streets around this central mosque have been blocked to allow as many devoted muslims as possible to join in. on the you morning prayer which starts at the official solid gratian now despite the chilly weather many have been gathering here since early in the morning sense of four in the morning and at some point

there have been thousands of people here now aides al odah high or at the festival of sacrifice is the culmination of one of the most sacred traditions of islam and that is of course at the eighty. two macko or hoshi it is also a celebration of the willingness of the prophet abraham to obey the law of talat when he was asked to sacrifice his most dear possession he prepared to sacrifice his only son but then al out replaced his son with a goat which was sacrificed instead as a sad it is a very important day for millions of muslims around the world who are doing their thing from out of the center of moscow this morning. the government of ukraine counted her of accidentally left sensitive information exposed online a mistake was revealed by computer research who says that he tracked down the data

using a really simple google search. were both feel good. and that. if this. were not. well i don't know what the. trailer was an online application for managing projects and personal tasks created back into the eleven by twenty seventeen of the game one popularity among many companies and agencies attracting twenty five million users now while government surged their employees not to store sensitive information on digital services trailor though says it has all the necessary safeguards to prevent an intentional disclosure of information. we strive to make sure public boards are being created intentionally and have built in safeguards to confirm the intention of the user before they make a board publicly visible government of canada employees are being reminded of their

obligation never to communicate were store sensitive information on trial boards or any other on authorize this little tool or service. despite all the precautions the information was still discoverable on the internet technology expert bill me told us that users themselves though frequently the weakest links in the security protocols here it was a human error very much so but a fault trello board as they're called to try it and actually somebody has to go and change the settings to public in order to allow it to be universally accessible the governments are trying to do their very best in order to protect valuable data from all sorts of different threats and they put in place an enormous number of training measures and enormous amounts of procedures this is just an example of that the fact that users of very often the weakest link in all of this thankfully the fault was pointed out by some white hat hacker some ethical hackers

who brought it to the attention of the relevant authorities if it had been discovered by black cats which is unethical or criminal actors they wouldn't suit will this and access could have been going to some of the systems and i think it's a lesson that we need to learn and actually additional measures need to be taken and certainly the people who are managing these boards will be facing an certain amount of attention at this moment in time. i will leave it there for now that's the weather he says look you so far this one from r t h q moscow cover the inside of a great day. what politicians do something that. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to look for us i'm sure. more some want to be pressed.

to the right to be for us this is what the forecast preamble can't be good that. i'm interested always in the waters of our. taxes.

greetings and. all right perry yourselves i hope that you're sitting down to juneau that the united states of america has been supplying missiles to the saudi led coalition currently bombing yemen into the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. did you know that yeah well for most of us who actually follow the real news of the day you you probably already knew that but apparently if you're c.n.n. of the washington post this is a major news story a major news story yes over the weekend both the supposed c.n.n. and the washington post by only discovered and realized the united states and its

military industrial complex actually share some responsibility for the current devastation and horrors taking place in yemen welcome to our nightmare my corporate friends c.n.n. proudly beat their chance chests and exclaimed in an article on friday that quote the bomb used by the saudi led coalition in a devastating attack on a school bus in yemen was sold as part of the u.s. state department saying d'armes deal and that working with local yemeni journalist munitions expert c.n.n. of the stablished of the weapon was a five hundred pound laser guided m k t two bomb made by lockheed martin well bully for you c.n.n. except i might be a little late to the party i mean independent journalists like ben norton and we here at r.t. were actually reporting that days if not weeks before you ever got around to the story but hey you know i guess.
