it's a sad i'm not going to get into that but we have made very clear what could trigger sanctions for other countries and entities around the world well the russian made as four hundred missile system is capable of hitting multiple high speed aerial targets within a range of four hundred kilometers the deal signed by turkey in russia last year is worth two point five billion dollars turkey has been looking to bolster its air defenses since the us withdrew its patriot missiles from the syrian border region back in two thousand and fifteen former u.s. diplomat jim john just told us that the primary reason for washington's anger over on crowe's purchase of us for hundreds is that it undermines america's attempts to isolate russia. the people behind these policies do not look at russia as a partner at all they look at it as an adversary and that their goal is essentially regime change in russia buying russian weapons is not bad because they are a competitor for business they're bad because there is essentially
11:01 pm
a full scale political warfare being carried on against the russian federation by the agencies of the american government i don't know that this is nationally what president trump wants but it certainly wanted hartman of state department of treasury and other organs of the government want and. purchase of russian weapons is that because russia is bad i think that not only with regard to arms purchases but every other excuse we can think of we will find ways to put new sanctions on russia or countries and companies the deal with russia. in french a journalist has been speaking out about the issue of discrimination on accommodation rental sites like air b.n. b. he has claimed that people are often finding they are having bookings denied or cancelled because of their north african names journalist mehta. says he himself tried to book an apartment in my say twice and on both occasions his booking was cancelled without explanation his friend who he says has
11:02 pm
a good french name and later booked the same apartment for the exact same dates as this is clear proof of discrimination now after wrote about his experience on twitter air b.n. b. was quick to respond and expressed regret over the incident and stressed its opposition to all forms of discrimination we were joined by political commentator nicola milk of each and french lawyer hosni monti to hear their thoughts on the issue. well that's discrimination of course i think that it's a nonsense it's served forbidden by french law i think what we have to see if there's a deeper problem than just refusing to read because the purpose of renting is making money so why would somebody not read it i think there's a problem with part of the storm committee you know say in the large sense today in france which has got a bad image and some people would rather not rent than rent to people who got this bad image and people will think coming from africa crime to instability
11:03 pm
to terrorism and people will relate to that and decide that the president not brants to these people or people coming from those are visions we cannot say at the first the first this is discrimination we have to pay attention on the second hand having some explanations that help people to be racist and to use discrimination against their will and work with people from different walks of life and i work with north africans who are from north africa and who are in france and they themselves are the first to say we have a problem in our own community there is racism and in france you have to respect the little and when you are ready for this you have to be censured by google i don't agree with the thing that we can sum up the reality of people acting or having delinquent behavior just by giving the roots of these people but this has nothing to do this has nothing to do to explain the behavior.

something few would have taken seriously only a couple of months ago an alternative to the swift banking system well it has now become a legitimate discussion topic in the e.u. here is the german foreign minister floating the idea of an independent system. where the u.s. crosses red lines we as you are opinions must counter-balance as hard as that is it is indispensable that would strengthen the european autonomy by creating channels that are independent of the united states a european monetary fund and an independence we system all swift which stands for the society for worldwide interbank financial telecommunications is a global payment network it is designed to secure transactions between banks and encompasses eleven thousand financial institutions in two hundred different nations swift it claims political neutrality but has apparently caved to american pressure in the past and since washington withdrew from the iran nuclear deal and re imposed
11:05 pm
sanctions against tehran swift has been left with the choice to cut off iranian banks from its network by early november or face an asset freeze travel bans and restrictions to do business in america and german m.p. from the f.t. party thinks that although the foreign minister's call makes sense it's come at the wrong time. the one who controls finance controls everything so in this sense this to keep goal of mr marson making europe and germany more independent by creating its own financial system it's still it's a strategic goal that has its right to exist but please we have to to take into account possible reactions from the united states i think they won't be fond of this idea and we cannot afford to ruin the ties with the united states at the same time when europe itself has deteriorated his relations with
11:06 pm
russia sold the boldness of mr mass it's not in the right time and not at the right place. although europe is one of america's closest allies the kind of treatment the e.u. has been receiving from the us of late is in digs actually what you would call friendly. the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal that diminishes confidence in the international order in need is never good break the rules that we ourselves helped to create. we saying things to them they say thank you we don't take you for. free trade that's stupid trade so now we will also impose import tariffs you can also use we
11:07 pm
also have to breathe this. expect that you are peons will see this business as a load. the choice between doing business with a rock a good business with the united states. seventy five years the end of the largest tank battle in history it finished within the soviet union pushing on a counter offensive to ease pressure on the western front and helped liberate the world from the nazis are two years down off traveled to the city of course in western russia to watch at the parade commemorating the anniversary.
11:08 pm
day here in course kicked off with the military parade tanks of the world war two era accompanied by troops later the russian president flew in by helicopter first thing he did laid flowers to the tomb of the unknown soldier and then a minute of silence to commemorate all those lives lost seventy five years ago after that the russian president talked to some veterans and visited some of the memorials scattered around the city and while he was followed by hundreds of locals as well the city of course scolds a very special place in the hearts of well pretty much all russians seventy five years ago this place saw what is still known as the largest tank battle in world history more than three million people fought in it and historians agree that this
11:09 pm
battle that was the breaking point of the war for the soviets it allowed the troops to basically reverse the nazi onslaught and then effectively drive them back all the way to berlin and seventy five years on the memories of those times still live on among the streets of the city and that does it for me i'll be back in a little less than thirty one and a half minutes you're watching international stay with us.
11:10 pm
see unemployment rate is down the labor participation rate is high so this goes against all the doom mongers before the election to. and of course nobody in mainstream media wants to focus on this because it would be live there in spirit if their. greetings and salutation. the mendocino complex fire is the largest wildfire in
11:11 pm
california is history but despite its biblical level of danger to those brave firefighters trying to contain it well that didn't stop telecommunications giant arising from seeing potential dollar signs amidst all the devastation yes thanks to evidence recently submitted in the federal appeals court lawsuit seeking to reinstate the net net neutrality protections that were shredded by telecom puppet f.c.c. chairman algae it seems our good friends at verizon old bosses decided to throttle the data services of the santa clara fire department during their response to this record breaking fire you see despite santa clara paying for what it was told was an unlimited data plan the fire fighters discovered just days in the fighting the blaze that their data rates had been slowed down to just one two hundred ths of its usual speed and when the department contacted verizon about the issue by our cheap
11:12 pm
anthony bowden claims verizon representatives confirmed the throttling but rather than restoring us to in the essential data transfer speed they indicated that county buyer would have to switch to a new data plan at more than twice the cost jeev boden points out that data speed is vital in emergency situations saying that the internet has become an essential tool in providing fire emergency response particularly for events like large fires which require the rapid deployment and organization of thousands of personnel and hundreds of fire engines aircrafts and bulldozers now naturally horizon claims that none of this as anything to do with net neutrality and everything to do with customer service telling ars technica that quote in this situation we should have lifted the speed restriction when our customer reached out to us this was a customer support mistake. or is it really just the reality of
11:13 pm
doing business with unregulated telecommunications giants who put profit over people's lives and let's start watching the hawks. but you get the. real thing with. the bottom. like you that i got. the. role of the watching the hawks i am i robot and i'm tough. i mean we knew this was coming oh yeah i it's funny to me because i you know we think back it. delightful yes and his is whole internet video saying you can still watch videos you can still
11:14 pm
do this as if everyone free you know over a decade has been fighting for net neutrality because we're worried we won't get our netflix money stay right that yeah big we're this is why everybody was worried because this is what happened and you know what's funny about this when i was reading this story it reminded me of like almost every customer service interaction with a variety of these other telecare because it has oh sorry you just don't have the right plan but if you pay more we can fix that i think but they do it to emergency responders in the middle of one of the greatest fire storms in modern times i mean look at it like you'll love this to the new plan of what's needed here so in order when the fire department called horizon sort of core part of our coverage of the basically we're like look how do we get this good this very important machine basically the was allowing them to you nick a with all the other firefighters cord made responses and all that. suddenly it slowed down next to nothing they called drugs for the hey what do we need to do right well you need to upgrade your plan
11:15 pm
your unlimited plan you need great unlimited plan to a different unlimited plan from thirty seven ninety nine to ninety nine ninety nine with the first twenty gigabytes that's covered but every other gigabyte after about eight dollars a gigabyte because it's not unlimited exactly that's not unlimited i mean i've had my own problems with her husband over the years but i mean basics that's literally it's like it's not a bottomless cup of coffee if i only get three it's not unlimited data if there's a limit to the data but what i find most disturbing is that in a moment when you know that there are all of these things going on in california you could see that the fired army could explain to him this device that has this data plan needs to work fast they need to work.
