russia mr marquand said depends on europe and russia finding a mutual agreement in progress when it comes to the minute's peace agreement on the continued conflict in aunts and praying so it seems that as the u.s. continues to isolate itself from longstanding partners such as you the european union that could be now paving the way to new relationships with other countries to manage. u.s. intelligence agencies are reportedly complaining that their thought isn't russia is that legal in final and it comes amid a host of fresh russian meddling allegations ahead of the american mid-term elections hawking's picks up the story less than two years after the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election the russians are at it again the end words this time it's the u.s. mid-term elections in the crosshairs of kremlin meddling another russian attack on our elections a serious warning about russian meddling in future u.s.

elections there also hacking or attempting to hack political campaigns russia is added again it's clear for all to see what happens after all how can one refute such a mass of sources intelligence sources tell him b.c. news there is no doubt the russians are trying to influence the presidential election a source tells n.b.c. news law enforcement and democratic sources telling c.n.n. . sources two sources with links to the counter intelligence community anonymous sources according to anonymous washington post source now we may not even have those through a lawyer according to the new york times they've gone to ground gone quiet what's happened there could be a couple of reasons it's ok the times reassures us they've not been killed risk yet although says the article putin is intent on killing traitors and the russians are willing to kill sources perhaps they say the assassination attempt on double

agents has affected flows of intelligence as with the meddling accusations minimal evidence was also enough to expose the kremlin's hand in that case russia has long arms russia has lots of tentacles we imagine that they will continue to have an interest in our elections but also many other nations' elections as well we continue to see a pervasive messaging campaign by russia to try. two we can divide the united states intelligence black out could also be down to a fall in us operative numbers in russia the russians kicked out a whole bunch of our people laments a former cia officer a reference of course to moscow as retaliation after dozens of russian diplomats were first expelled from the united states the russian meddling saga even has the us president himself worried i'm very concerned that russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming election based on the fact that no president

has been tougher on russia than me they will be pushing very hard for the democrats they definitely don't want trump but those are named officials can explain the logic the kremlin doesn't want to specific outcome any more broad chaos is apparently the aim despite no hard evidence of meddling past or future it seems the narrative is getting old unnamed sources can only sound convincing for so long no no the rusher informants they were definitely in a u.f.o. crashed or was a meteorite this is so confusing what the media told us imagineer of france whisper in the ear of the new york times sources say your times makes up stories what if as analysts anonymous sources allege russia isn't busy tilting elections sowing discord or spreading chaos what if russia isn't doing anything at all that

would never make a thrilling read so to come in the program a north korean newspaper accuses the u.s. ever double dealing with the details for you after this short break. they gave this man show a camera. roughly once they showed some leave for them. to. shoot your own cool videos and sell them with a broken string attached. lying down more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. . i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty

five percent of the global wealth you long to be ultra rich eight point six percent market so thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first chicken and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remembering one one just shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. welcome back to u.s. nationals in vietnam have been sentenced to fourteen years in prison over an attempted coup they were among twelve people sentenced all of the members of the provisional national government to vietnam which was declared a terrorist organization by the country's authorities back in january the war in

vietnam ended more than four decades ago but a power only for some the struggle goes on. the vietnam war one of the world's bloodiest conflicts and the american army's biggest defeat to ideologically opposed blocks in two decades of fighting came at a cost of fifty six thousand u.s. troops in a bid to overthrow the communist regime of north korea now for the casualties among civilians were much greater at least two million people died in the war. after hopes of tightening a democratic grip across the vietnamese state slipped away and up to one hundred forty one billion dollars was spent on military operations the us folded to what had been an exhausting rule at home and abroad. in one thousand nine hundred seventy three thousands of antiwar protesters would later contribute to the end of u.s. military involvement and two years later the south surrendered with vietnam forced

to unite under a socialist flag. however it would take years for vietnam to heal from the wounds of the us campaign. toxic herbicides left the country scarred. and its citizens suffering. fast forward to twenty eight and us finance relations have turned a new leaf. even prospering. however there are some people who can't let go of the past among them the provisional national government of the third republic of viet nam most of them share one thing in common they all supported or fought for the south vietnamese army and had to flee when the war ended in one nine hundred seventy five they dream of a regime they never had a chance to see. and they're proactive about sharing their agenda they have their own prime minister and even newspapers about their cause printed in japan malaysia

and thailand recently they've caught the attention of more global audience is. the ministry of. security should announce the organization of the provisional national government of vietnam as a terrorist organization. they plan to buy weapons in an attempt to carry out terror attacks but their plots were uncovered and they were arrested by the enemy security forces. twelve members were charged with subversion attempting to broadcast anti state messages described as a coupe two of those behind it were american nationals of vietnamese descent. has been revealed they openly penned letters to the u.s. president with a q. even based in california it may be almost half a century since the end of the vietnam war but under the surface there are still rumblings with some still willing to fight for a cause they never saw come to fruition. but as we just saw one of the two u.s.

nationals sentenced as hung james knew and the u.s. embassy in vietnam has released a statement saying it will continue to provide him support some locals say the group pay belongs to you just doesn't understand times have changed. this reactionary group which carries out acts of sabotage against the vietnamese government is deplorable the government is determined to maintain peace and stability so that the country can develop and prosperity be brought to the people the group's members should not delude themselves into thinking what they do is right but what they don't understand the times have changed they don't understand the position of they put themselves in when they conspired against a country i think the sentences were too lenient. the democratic republic of congo has seen its deadliest outbreak of ebola and more than a decade since the start of the month the virus has killed seventy two people from

one hundred eleven confirmed or probable cases the last major pan african outbreak between two thousand and fourteen and two thousand and sixteen killed some eleven thousand people but even those who survive found it wasn't the end of their struggle as they were treated as outcasts by their communities artie's documentary ebola surviving survival tells their story you can watch it in full at sixteen thirty g.m.t. here's a preview. from would have good morning. i mean are they really seem to really be able or was. ready to. everybody. are.

people we are standing on the road. we are going with you know the ground live like. that. the truth. is that it is the. price rise more than. the. title over most of the lives now no one time to. leave. and said in the light of a full family. member of the to give the. land of lists out for the trees in the dome lampooning things are not going must be.

fun if they didn't do all i mean sleep. while being my bed on my feet the as night not long night out of. the lot just get to the united church. is very very. good it will to everybody the whole issue and let it go for me it's more. for my own food. the song. no might not want to talk about this. but to word it. before that it would have been a moment for the most. notable not only just about me but that's what i was in. north korea's state controls news paper has taken aim at the us claiming it's posting to wage war on pyongyang it accused washington of staging secret military

drills and eventually infiltrating the north korean capital. the us is hatching a criminal plot to unleash a war against the d.p. r. k. and commit a crime which deserves merciless divine punishment in case the us fails in the scenario of the d.p. r. k. is unjust and brigand ish denuclearization first we cannot take a serious note of the double dealing attitudes of the us as it is busy staging secret drills involving man killing special units were having a dialogue with a smile on its face a spokesperson for the us embassy in sol's that he had no information about the alleged drill but the article came at just after a visit to pyongyang by the u.s. secretary of state and mike pompei or was abruptly canceled by donald trump on twitter the president cited a lack of sufficient progress in the denuclearization of the korean peninsula pump

ayers visit and would have been the first by a high ranking u.s. official since the historic summit between trump and kim jong il in june back then both sides agreed to restart their relations helping to bring a stable and lasting peace they reached a consensus on the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula while agreeing on security guarantees for north korea donald trump held the summit as a huge success. very proud of what took place today and it worked out for both of us far better than anybody even predicted it's an honor to be with you. except ben just. like. you well. you know. let's go live now to international affairs expert andrew young mr long

thank you for joining us on the program to discuss this in your opinion how serious is this considering is coming from the official newspaper of the north korean ruling party. well one cannot. get on i that such aspin or. kind of subversive activities would be all stopped. once the two countries come in the talk about it on the table i think that this kind of. best time activities are always there not only between united states and north korea but amongst many other countries as well that's point one point over to even look at north korea they are really genuinely wants to. push the country towards economic progress so as to prove the life the good of the people and the improved diligent legitimacy

of the regime so that's why there was a lot of these overtures with south korea and also war and terribly dismantling some of those donations so that's point number two point two three which is of a possible misunderstanding on the part of the united states that from day one that north korea is going to give up everything their business totally unrealistic because how much can north korea can trust the u.s. government from day one so it must be a gradual process whereby the north koreans would. cut down some of their activities in exchange for some gestures some real progress in terms of falling off relationship between the united states and north korea and also in terms of possibly economic. relationships and investments so both sciences call it deliver step by step but if for donald trump to expect that

everything will happen on day one in north korea in return only for undertaking this is totally unrealistic that's the third point before point of course the. autumn the november midterm elections. in the united states is coming up so the president wants to appear superstrong. wants to step up the rhetoric as well as pressure so as to ward off any to say sions that he's not getting a good deal then nothing is on the table yet so he must appear to be strong so i think that you can look at the situation from this point four points of view. the kind of. intentions of the north koreans the impossibility of ruling out any kind of clandestine abilities activities. and also a realistic expectation that the north koreans would give up everything on on that

and they won and fearfully the mid-term elections coming up and my pompei as he's planned visit was canceled so abruptly wasn't it do you surprised by a bad thought and you can we can read anything into how abruptly it was cancelled or via twitter by trump. well i think that for his some. secretary. of defense secretary or state visiting north korea at this stage before the midterm elections there is nothing the trauma administration has see that they could gain because if there is a genuine deal there is no need to send the secretary of state over if there is no no genuine deal sending. over it's not going to solve the problem and it's going to even track down the credibility of the trauma in this ration before the midterm

elections hence the cancellation of the visit i think this is a a move to limit the kind of containing the possible damage to president trump's credibility before the mid-term elections and relying international experts thank you for joining us on r.t. today. unlike you for joining us on oxy international today will be back at the top of the hour with the latest. on what almost seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just because the ticket and in detroit equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. hello and welcome to crossfire were all things considered i'm peter lavelle on this edition of crossfire we consider one question is donald trump america first policy in contradiction to the washington consensus idea of american exceptionalism the answer to this question will likely define trump's presidency and change the world in the process.

cross talking american exceptionalism i'm joined by my guest michael flanagan in washington he's president of flanagan consulting and a former congressman in charlotte so we have david swanson he is the director of world beyond war dot org and in northwood we cross to introduce paul maher he is a professor of international politics at city university london all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated let me go to david first because he's written a book on the topic titled curing exceptionalism ok we have about a year and a half of this presidency i'm getting a pretty good idea what america first means in the mind of donald trump and i know very well what american exceptionalism is and i'm i'm not a big proponent of it. are is donald trump incompatible with his american first policies with washington's insistence. and digging their heels in very deep that american exceptionalism must be maintained go ahead david in charlottesville.

i guess the short answer is no i don't see it i look at what donald trump does in terms of foreign policy in terms of continuing. u.s. imperialism and he is dropping more bombs he is building more bases he is getting more military spending out of congress demanding more military spending out of europe shipping weapons to more places including ukraine continuing to insist on the us right to do what it wants in places like ukraine and nicaragua and around the world he's not switching policies allowing the people of afghanistan or nicaragua or anywhere else to decide their own fate i mean the changes are all rhetorical and and in terms of mannerisms and style people in. people abroad outside the united states who see him as radically different because he blurts out things he doesn't act on like nato is obsolete seems to me as

superficial as people within the united states who say the people the vote in crimea to rejoin russia was the big threat to peace and stability in the rule of law of the past centuries. looking at actions rather than at. ment's i don't see it continuing us policy but the good points made there michael none the less we we have the reaction of where you are this the epicenter of the swamp they see trump is being very much a threat to the outlook that has been cultivated and enforced i would point out since the end of the second world war particularly since the end of the cold war so i mean michael is right on all these points here but that's not how the people that we used to run the show see it that way and they're pushing back against them in very very severe very peculiar ways and in using the media to push against him go

ahead michael. i think the swamp has a collectivist view definitely denies american exceptionalism writ small and that is america has the best workers in the world and we have an exceptional view of our future and we are we yourselves as as the shining light of the world and then you have x. merican exceptionalism writ large which as a matter foreign policy means that we'll run the world. the i think writ small trump is a huge champion of that written large i think your other guest is correct he's he's not he's not a big champion of america around the world in the sense that we will make foreign policy for the world but we will behave any way we need to to protect our security and that that is often irrespective of what nicaragua wants or what what anybody else wants and i think trump is definitely a proponent of that the swamp would rather have us collectively sit with the

european powers basically europe almost exclusively and and discuss what we need to do around the world while we pay the freight and they make the decisions and i think trump is trying to bring an end to that by threatening nato not as an institution like eisenhower did by the way and his presidency but to say that it's not an organization that we're going to support exclusively and move on forward with interchange a you know combined of what we just heard from michael and david so america first in american exceptionalism they have to find the worst possible elements of both and they're being can bind that's what i've gotten from this conversation so far go ahead nor would they want to and i don't think i would violently disagree with. you just. i think american exceptionalism is a difficult kind of not. and that nationalism as a punch to it a great sense of the uniqueness and superiority to

a large degree it's also the last. place behind certain kinds of the news and. where president trump probably it differs from his previous esas president obama and george w. bush as well is that in a way he's he's rejected the rhetoric of values of democracy or human rights and promoting those kind of liberal bias in favor of the kids are so i would say that that's the principal difference between those two there is also a strategic disagreement as well and i think that largely is around. the relationship that the united states or president trump is building with russia and the bigger geopolitical picture i think which he has in his mind possibly by and reconsider the home secretary of state about some kind of a possible russian chinese splits and i think there's a big disagreement about that but that's a strategic question we all grow all the united states continues to exert its up

but i think the rhetoric around values i think president trump doesn't have any time he's much more about asserting or are out of the dollar or of the trade of market access and of the american military ok well david i mean it i guess in a way trump is probably more honest than his predecessors because he doesn't talk about democracy promotion as you know but that it's always been a cover and i think only people in the swamp actually believe in that rhetoric anymore forcefully bringing democracy to the world i don't see where it works no one's ever empirically proven it to me but but so really it's the same thing. it's american exceptionalism with a just a different rhetoric against you know that makes a lot of sense go ahead david. that's exactly right the rhetoric has changed a lot more than the substance of the disagreement between the make america great again people and the america already has great people is not around the need for

the united states to have double standards and a set of laws only for itself and superiority the rest of the world that is universally agreed upon in washington the disagreements around rhetoric around domestic policies and around russia and the demand from the from the democrats i wouldn't dignify it by calling it strategic it's more trying to explain hillary clinton's loss and hating anything trump does so if he threatens north korea that's crazy if he fails to threaten russia that's crazy you know that the disagreement is is around this this mythical story of the evil deeds of russia and their gargantuan significance in the in the context of the good us law abiding behavior and there you know you can give trump credit for refusing to bow to the russia gaiters otherwise i give him very little credit for anything. as he continues

disastrous policies that are taking this country and the rest of the world over a cliff you know again. the rhetoric is is certainly different but and some of the actions are too i mean i don't think any of us really took seriously that there would be a meeting with kim so soon nothing much came of it and now he wants to meet with the iranian leader a days before in capital letters on twitter threatening and i mean michael how do you explain that or is that just expediency the midterms it's the here and now and worry about the implications later because i mean from the on the outside looking in this is very confusing and we're supposed to be experts to be able to figure this stuff out go ahead michael. i think one of the hallmarks of trump's foreign policy is that it's trump it's not a collective view of the state department with way and this from d o d and other places and intelligence it's trump it's and he's proven to be fairly adept at it so

far however you may may or may not like the outcomes he's gotten in with korea he's reworked trade agreements in europe and elsewhere some of it has been to our total benefit some of it has been conciliatory benefit. we enjoy a relationship with china we haven't had and maybe ever. i don't know that what he's doing is confusing bad evil wrong or fattening but what i do know is that it's in his head and it's been working with us far. talking diplomatic level and so i'm not prepared to throw it over just because i don't understand and know you know i guess what that which i don't understand i can't i get your point maybe i get your point i mean in the way he sees the world here and his base and i think you may go back to northwood here it seems to me. even a year a year and a half in the dawn of time doesn't have a lot of interest in foreign policy he's made a group of promises on the stump and he's committed to realizing each one of them

i've never seen it a president so adamant going through his checklist ok is it really he is. idea of american exceptionalism american for us is it really does domestic politics driving it for him. well i think you're right i mean there is a very very great interest in domestic politics and he has made a whole lot of promises and as you say i think the first thing that steve brandon did by the edge of the white house is it's a i've wanted to put up a white board with a whole lot of the promises made and i stopped taking them all up but i think the foreign policy perspective the president trump ours is one of increasing american power and extracting as much value economically commercially financially and so on from our allies associated powers and on enemies and i think all that is down to who's our long term idea that america has been ripped off and i think if you look at domestic politics and the kind of people you defined as or americans. he

basically said he wants a message that you have been ripped off white american men in particular by women by minorities by immigrants and so on and you lost status of what he's going to do all restore american greatness in the game going to john going to jump any aerial mail or home i we have other americans we are have a large brain reserve sort of after i am going to short break we'll continue our discussion on american exceptionalism stay with. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you for the start. these are you going to. take back to. thank the world this

is a real place or to work at the seven years. well except. for. you . know that i'm going to learn how to not. let go that that i'm not out of the mouth of somebody that they'll let examine. this was a good time to. try to move. not that out loud to get my money not why not. why x channing in the hall of people we believe is the obedient. little of my kids i don't want them up

with johnny foreigner the moment on account of motherhood accusers are there a lot of them i'm a little white community older looking at the things i don't want to put out a other than most of them of the brotherhood. you know world a big part of new 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 back 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.

come across like we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing american exceptionalism. ok david you know. ever since trump entered the the oval office a lot of it's been trying to understand if there's a rhyme or reason to his foreign policy and i think that even on this program it's kind of coming together it seems to me it's kind of like going back to the nineteenth century great powers competition without all the values that they were pushed since the second world war it's just it's just really kind of brute power and it vantage and looking for competitive advantage and it's very brusque and it seems to appeal just as interested pointed out to us in the first part of the program it does appeal to his base go ahead david. yeah i think you know it appears to be all donald trump but just as you know reagan and gorbachev came out of the meeting and were told by their advisers no no no you can't get rid of nuclear

weapons every time trump has a good idea like get rid of nafta or rid of nato he talks to his advisors and it's off the table i think that you know it was actually an actual break with us exceptionalism is not on the agenda of donald trump or his advisors i mean it would look like joining the international criminal court joining the convention on the rights of the child joy in the united states is party to fewer major human rights treaties then almost any other nation on earth it would mean giving up the veto at the united nations it would mean getting out of afghanistan there's a promise i'd like to keep i mean this is a guy who promised no more of these wars and bomb their family you know kill their families bomb the bleep out of them so it's easy to say he's keeping his promise because he promised black and white but the ones i'd like him to keep he's not keeping as well as you know a few like building the wall and locking up hillary that i don't necessarily need

him to keep either but this is not this is a guy who thinks he's running the world and it's dangerous to what extent he is but he's not overruling the weapons dealers or the big players in washington d.c. . you know you have michael in this that seems to be very contradictory because he said in interviews that the united states shouldn't be the policeman of the world but in fact it remains the same ok am particularly you know i mean look at the korean peninsula i mean a peace between the koreas denuclearization maybe the american troops could go home there'd be no reason from the be there and then the entire foreign policy elite has their hair on fire like oh my god please don't let it break out it'll change our world ok i mean it seems to me that he just go and really up against the street you know against the the stream there and he keeps coming out with these ideas i mean you know i said earlier i mean you know threatening iran in the most course way and

then say i'd like to meet you in no condition preconditions i mean the outside looking in finds that very very confusing i mean the rains have already said through their aides is that while we sit down with someone that broke a country that broke a treaty that we just signed only a few years ago i mean i how does that show that america leading go ahead michael. you know it wasn't a treaty and they didn't sign anything but that's that's a semantic problem we have it we're going to you know well it's an international has agreed i mean they were it was a it's multilateral it wasn't just with the americans ok go ahead. but i think the the the the point you're making is good and it's correct but if it stops and i think that's what we have to focus on is that the goals his foreign policy goals are as the professor correctly observed although i think for two reasons different than he observes that and that is that we are interested in better trade we are interested in exercising our trade power and to increase american presence

and wealth at home american exceptionalism america first through trade treaties through trade work as opposed to naked aggression and use of foreign power which other presidents have used obama was soundly criticized on the right for wanting to meet with the iranians with no preconditions i find it interesting that my brothers on the right don't have a problem with trump doing the same thing i just i just throw that out as an observation well i mean i think that you know but michael. but hang on michael i mean in the same week basically threatening hostilities with the rand and then saying you want to meet with preconditions you don't have to worry about your friends on the left or right you have to try to figure out what the president is talking about ok that's not my point and you know this was the same. you know your point is right but this is the same tactic we took with north korea you know a little camera man blah blah blah you know terrible person going to face the earth your boss' office or the next thing you know we're meeting in singapore this is the art of the deal this is

a part of the tactics of moving forward this is part of the noise involved in making the deal and making the negotiation and doing the work and it's trump he is unique he is rare he is something we haven't seen before the swamp can't make head or tail out of them and nor can anyone else and this goes back to my earlier point which was just buckle up just as you've observed many times peter buckle up and you're just going to have to wait to see how a poil is out and response will do their best to keep their arm around it i just don't know how it's going to work out ok brace for impact ok go back to you here then and then ok so what is the justification for the united states being in afghanistan it's not bringing democracy there anymore apparently what what house what's the justification for the human legal behavior of the united states in syria is it bringing democracy there anymore it's not apparently so why are they still there so i mean this makes it very patently obvious that just brute force beyond international law this is what

trumpet is opening up to go ahead. well i think you know when we look at the big picture of little change we have our whole range of new emerging powers some of which are very economically and increasingly military and they're looking around the world resources and they're looking to increase their him in order to protect their lines of india china for example is building the one built one road initiative which is going to be under right across from china all the way to spain and in the indian ocean you've got non-state actors like isis and other organizations also challenging these. allies and other regimes as well and i think what really president trump is trying to do is effectively grapple with the same problem. which post-hole or presidents of. to try to outline which is the whole world environment change the big difference i think with president from he doesn't really look at the edge of a bit of building an orderly system or ordered

a rules based system or rather he wants to open it up you want to loosen it up and he wants to make it more transactional but i think what he's trying to do it's look we've got this big international series of regime it's america's been ripped off it's own too much it's has too many large deficits with everybody and what we're going to do is we're going to let nationals and try to renegotiate. and effectively of ordinates everybody else ok not that we the big grown ok although again like i said it looks like it's going back to the great powers of the nineteenth century without all of the rhetoric at least it's more transparent david you you mentioned russia is it really worth it for trump to go down this path that we had the helsinki summit i was critical of the president's delivery at the press conference like i was in singapore is well it's not his forte it's got to

work on his game there and then he wanted another summit and then what blocked it back the russians and invited him to moscow why is this so important to him is it a campaign promise or is it just you know the media hates it when he does it and that he just pushes back to show that i am president i'm going to do what i want to do what is his fascination here go ahead david. well i think there is is all kinds of pressure on him to meet with and work with russia and to not do so and to treat russia as having attacked the united states and started a war and to engage in war with russia and everywhere in between i think that it's appropriate that the united states and russia as the major nuclear weapons powers meet and get rid of those damn things before they destroy us i think it's critical for the united states and russia as two of the nations doing the most to destroy our natural environment to meet and start reversing all the policies david that's

not so much of the agenda. i mean complete agreement with you in this they would they would have what why it seems to me that. trump engagement with russia should come out very clear twitter is fine with me i need to deal with a lot of your putin to sign a new arms control agreement it's about to expire in two thousand and twenty one this is what's most important to all of humanity why can't he just write that i mean that is very straightforward and you know what david it's transactional what trump is supposed to be all about go ahead david well it would make perfect sense it would fit with some of his agenda of body it is not where he comes from it's not something he knows anything about it's not something he's hired anybody to keep around him who would advise him to do and it's you know the got the us media and the democrats and half the public screaming at him not to do anything

cooperative with russia even if it kills us all so it's not shocking that he hasn't come out with that position of but he should he stood with the world and russia should be pushing him in that direction ok all right michael. where does he go from this from his russia gambit now i mean he's put it off until next year because of the midterm. it's because he can't do anything transactional because just like david said perfect crystal clear even trying to save humanity he's the boogie man donald trump is evil incarnate even if he wants to save humanity that's a problem in the united states that's a problem with american exceptionalism forty seconds to you michael my friend last word real quick and i promise to stay and save my time what the trump never telegraphs what he's going to do will make promises in a campaign context he'll have elude to things in

a domestic policy context he's never going to say up front what he's going to do it's one of his huge criticisms of his predecessors and so because he hasn't said it's there doesn't mean it's not going to be there and he's had some surprises foreign policy wise stuff no one expected but it was always part of his design and i think that we just have to buckle up and wait well you know that's why i call you one of my donald trump and sharpers that was a very good answer i like that that's all the time we have gentlemen many thanks to my guests in washington charlottesville and in northwood and thanks to our viewers for watching us here darkie see you next time and remember. uhm. not enough

europe should no longer rely solely on the u.s. . as a very warm welcome it's seven pm here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international with me we care and good to have you with us. our top story almost a thousand people gathered at an anti my current demonstration in the german city of camden it's as right wing sentiment continues to raise its head protesters hold both rules of police to try to disperse the crowd. was. artie's piece all of the reports on how small case sparked a massive protest wave which reflects an overall trend across western europe. well

that crowd that we saw there of around eight hundred people including it said members of a far right football hooligan outfit lording through central kim it all was sparked following the stabbing to death of a thirty five year old man in the early hours of sunday morning two other people were seriously wounded in that incident a twenty two year old iraqi and a twenty three year old syrian man have been taken into custody following that and it prompted opposition figures to come out and say that this shows that integration in germany isn't working that the police are failing to keep people safe now since twenty fifteen germany has taken in over a million refugees and migrants and integration has been a problematic issue the most recent proposal that was put forward which involved compulsory community service and also. also conscription into the military was

recently dismissed by the chancellor. i don't want to bring to use compulsory military service i've consulted with military chiefs the i'll see that the profession of soldier is not what it used to be and has changed. but it's not just in germany the question over integration has been raised in france senior figure within the center right republican party has said that the current policies on integration aren't working and if things continue then european identity european civilization as he puts it as we know it could be at risk. how can we fail to realize that we have reached the limit as regards integration and that this mass immigration of today poses a cultural threat to european civilization over three years since the first refugees in migrants started to arrive in europe the certainly no consensus and no cultural solution on how to integrate them into society.

this seriously government says it's ready to recapture the last major rebel stronghold of it lip to mask it has been deploying additional forces to the front line of the enclave though it still says it's willing to pursue a course of reconciliation however that idea was not by the key militant group controlling the area where our son its leader warned other factions from talking to damascus. meanwhile the russian defense ministry says the u.s. is expanding its strike capabilities near syria moscow says it has intelligence that you harvests are intending to stage

a chemical attack which the west could use to justify action against the syrian government a strike on kafer zeitung using poison laid missiles is planned within the next forty eight hours that some players outside the region are preparing yet more provocations on syrian soil involving chemical weapons with the aim of destabilizing the situation there and undermining the positive dynamics of the ongoing peace process. more the missive warns that it's the white helmets pro rebel group that will be there first with cameras and tweets as they usually are whenever there are rumors of chemical attacks and we reached out to them for comment and as is also usual the u.s. and its power stabbed ready with guns drawn we now see plans for the syrian regime to resume offensive military activities and it would.

we are obviously. about the possibility that it may use chemical weapons again if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly it's getting very hot in the area america's just pulled up another guided missile cruiser packed with tomahawk missiles the weapon of choice when attacking syria also u.s. strategic bombers heavy duty stuff have just arrived in the neighborhood the russians also acting moving more and more ships to the mediterranean rumors say submarines tool and it's cool dreadfully reminiscent of what happened last.

meal weeks before the alleged chemical incident in ghouta the incident that provoked a british friends and us missile barash well mia weeks before that the russians warned the rebels were preparing to stage a chemical attack now they're warning it will happen. again which begs the question why oh why would ask who has almost won this war why would he launch a chemical attack and invite disaster now there is no value for syria or its allies in using chemical weapons against any of the terrorists syria is already winning syria has already won along with its allies along with russia and with iran and hezbollah they have already essentially

defeated the tech feed terrorist cleanup time the other thing you've got is we have so many times been told that the organization for the preventing prohibition of chemical warfare has emptied syria of all of its chemical weapons this happened a few years ago but we keep getting told syria is making chemical weapons. french president a manual necron has set his plans figure ups defense speaking to the country's ambassador as he underlines the region's security can no longer rely so heavily on the us. pre-commit europe can no longer rely solely on the united states receipt curacy to us today to take responsibility in guarantee european security and consequently european sovereignty mr michael went to outline a number of quite united states such a very similar to cripes that the european union has with the united states and particularly the trumpet administration this things such as the trade wars that we've seen in recent months this is the hiking of steel an element in tariffs with

countries around the world also the fact that the trumpet ministration his withdrawal from the paris climate accord it's also withdrawn from the iranian nuclear deal earned of course there has been doubts from the trumpet ministration particularly from president trump himself over nato itself which is the security force bowings the us and europe now he's talked in the past saying that he thinks the us is doing too much so all of these concerns have prompted my can say we can't now rely on the u.s. for security we have to do something about it ourselves what is that well he's talked about this closer defense cooperation here in europe but he's also said that europe needs to look beyond its borders and to look to other countries such as russia in the feature. film for stamp this reinforce on a dirty would imply revisiting the european architecture of difference in security by negotiating renewed dialogue on cybersecurity chemical weapons conventional

weaponry territorial conflicts space security the protection of the polish didn't seem particularly with russia i want to launch exhaustive reflection with our european partners in a broad sense with russia but defense relationship with russia mr michael said depends on europe and russia finding a mutual agreement in progress when it comes to the minute's peace agreement on the continuing conflict in. praying so it seems that as the u.s. continues to isolate itself from longstanding such as you european union that could be no paving the way to a new relationships with other countries to manage. u.s. intelligence agencies are reportedly complaining that that sources in russia have suddenly gone thought islands it comes amid a host of fresh russian meddling allegations ahead of the american midterm elections daniel hawkins picks up the story. less than two years after the twenty

sixteen us presidential election the russians are at it again the n. word this time it's the us mid-term elections in the crosshairs of kremlin meddling another russian attack on our elections syria's warning about russian meddling in future u.s. elections there also hacking or attempting to hack political campaigns russia is at it again it's clear for all to see what happens after all how can one refute such a mass of sources intelligence sources tell n.b.c. news there is no doubt the russians are trying to influence the presidential election a source tells n.b.c. news law enforcement and democratic sources telling c.n.n. . sources two sources with links to the counter intelligence community anonymous sources according to anonymous washington post source now we may not even have those to rely on according to the new york times they've gone to ground gone quiet what's happened there could be

a couple of reasons it's ok the times reassures us they've not been killed risk yet although says the article putin is intent on killing traitors and the russians are willing to kill sources perhaps they say the assassination attempt on double agents script file has affected flows of intelligence as with the meddling accusations minimal evidence was also enough to expose the kremlin's hand in that case russia has long arms russia has lots of tentacles we imagine that they will continue to have an interest in our elections but also many other nations' elections as well we continue to see a pervasive measures in messaging campaign by russia to try to weaken and divide united states intelligence blackout could also be down to a fall in u.s. operative numbers in russia the russians kicked out a whole bunch of our people laments a former cia officer

a reference of course to moscow's retaliation after dozens of russian diplomats were first expelled from the united states the russian meddling saga even has the us president himself worried. i'm very concerned that russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming election based on the fact that no president has been tougher on russia than me they will be pushing very hard for the democrats they definitely don't want trump but those are named officials can explain the logic the kremlin doesn't want a specific outcome any more broad chaos is apparently the aim despite no hard evidence of meddling past or future it seems the narrative is getting old unnamed sources can only sound convincing for so long no no the rusher informant's they were definitely in that u.f.o. to crashed or was a meteorite this is so confusing what the media told us imagine you're a france whisper in the ear of the new york times sources say your times makes up

stories what if as analysts anonymous sources allege russia isn't busy tilting elections sowing discord or sporting chaos what if russia isn't doing anything at all that would never make a thrilling read still to come a north korean newspaper accuses the us of double dealing all the details for you after this short break. seems wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any if you forget to shape out the becomes active and engaged with equals betrayal and engagement

equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. as well it's got a lot of oil but there are many refineries and this is paid to boil it down they're trying to levers our oil position through the machinations of a crypto currency you know my suggestion is you know maybe build a few refineries you know sell a higher end product and put that money back into the economy in this way may take ten or fifteen years but you're not going to be now taken over by some cia operative.

welcome back to us nationals in vietnam have been sentenced to fourteen years in prison over an attempted coup they were among twelve people sentenced to all of the members of the provisional national government of vietnam which was declared a terrorist organization by the country's all far as he's back in january the war in vietnam ended more than four decades ago but apparently for some the struggle goes on. the vietnam war one of the world's bloodiest conflicts and the american army's biggest defeat to ideologically opposed blocks in two decades of fighting came at a cost of fifty six thousand u.s. troops in a bid to overthrow the communist regime of north korea now for the casualties among civilians were much greater at least two million people died in the wall. after hopes of tightening a democratic grip across the vietnamese state slipped away and up to one hundred

forty one billion dollars was spent on military operations the us folded to what had been an exhausting rule at home and approved. in one nine hundred seventy three thousands of antiwar protesters would later contribute to the end of u.s. military involvement and two years later the south surrendered with vietnam forced to unite under a socialist flag. however it would take years for vietnam to heal from the wounds of the us campaign. napalm bombs and toxic herbicides left the country scarred. and its citizens suffering. fast forward to twenty eight and us finance relations have turned a new leaf. even prospering. however there are some people who can't let go of the past among them the provisional national government of the third republic of viet nam most of them share one thing in common they all supported or fought for the

south vietnamese army and had to flee when the war ended in one nine hundred seventy five they dream of a regime they never had a chance to see. and they're proactive about sharing their agenda they have their own prime minister and even newspapers about their cause printed in japan malaysia and thailand recently they've caught the attention of more global audience is. the ministry of public speaking. sure announced the organization of the provisional national government of vietnam as a terrorist organization. they planned to buy weapons in an attempt to carry out terror attacks but their plots were uncovered and they were arrested by vietnamese security forces. twelve members were charged with subversion attempting to broadcast anti state messages described as a coup two of those behind it were american nationals of vietnamese descent. has been revealed they openly penned letters to the us president with

a q he even based in california it may be almost half a century since the end of the vietnam war but under the surface there are still rumblings with some still willing to fight for a cause they never saw come to fruition. but as we just saw one of the two u.s. national center does hand james know and the u.s. embassy in vietnam has released a statement saying it will continue to provide him support some locals say the group e. belongs to you just doesn't understand times have changed. my feeling on my own this reactionary group which carries out acts of sabotage against the vietnamese government is deplorable the government is determined to maintain peace and stability so that the country can develop and prosperity be brought to the people in the groups members should not delude themselves into thinking what they do is right what they don't understand that times have changed they don't understand the position of they put themselves in when they conspired against

a country i think the sentences were too lenient. north korea's state controlled newspaper has taken aim at the us claiming it's plotting to wage war on pyongyang it is washington of staging secret military drills aimed at eventually infiltrating the north korean capital. the us is hatching a criminal plot to unleash a war against the d.p. r. k. and commit a crime which deserves merciless divine punishment in case the us fails in the scenario of the d.p. r. k. is unjust and britain dish denuclearization first we cannot take a serious note of the double dealing attitudes of the us as it is busy staging secret drills involving man killing special units were having a dialogue with a smile on its face. a spokesperson for the us embassy in seoul said he had no

information about the alleged drill now they also came just after a visit to pyongyang by the u.s. secretary of secretary of state mike pompei it was abruptly canceled by donald trump on twitter the president cited a lack of sufficient progress in the denuclearization of the korean peninsula pompei was visit would have been the first by a high ranking u.s. official since the historic summit between trump and kim jong un in june or back then both sides agreed to restart their relations helping to bring a stable and a lasting peace they reached a consensus on the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula while agreeing on security guarantees for north korea donald trump ailed the summit as a huge success for out of what took place today and it worked out for both of us far better than anybody even predicted it's an honor to be with you.

in this new. international affairs expert underlying thinks washington's perception of how denuclearization should go is totally unrealistic. it is a possible misunderstanding on a par but a united states that from day one that north korea is going to give up everything their business totally unrealistic because how much can they can trust the u.s. government from day one so it must be a gradual process whereby the north koreans would. cut down some of the activities in exchange for some gestures some real progress in terms of falling off relationship between the united states and north korea and also in terms of possibly economic. relationships and universe moves so.

deliver step by step but if for all of trying to expect that everything will happen on day one in north korea in return only for undertaking this is totally unrealistic. the democratic republic of congo has seen its deadliest outbreak of ebola and more than a decade since the start of the month the virus has killed seventy two people from one hundred eleven confirmed or probable cases the last major pan african outbreak between two thousand and fourteen and two thousand and sixteen killed some eleven thousand people but even those who survived found it wasn't the end of their struggle as they were treated as outcasts by their communities artie's documentary surviving survival tells that story and you can watch it right after this program.

a possible false flag chemical attack by terrorists in products. work and so at the international law from moscow i don't know who you are thanks for joining us this. now is the second day of large right wing rallies in the german city of cabinets you can see live pictures from the protest following the screen hundreds of people have gathered for eight consecutive day now after a local was stabbed to death in an incident that was described as people involving various nationalities. why protests why and this. is understandably a big police presence there yesterday's rally did violent towards the end on sunday protesters held bottles police who tried to disperse the crowd.

i. reports on how a small case sparked a massive protest wave which reflects an overall trend across western europe. well that crowd that we saw there of around eight hundred people including it said members of a far right football hooligan outfit marauding through central claim it all was sparked following the stabbing to death of a thirty five year old man in the early hours of sunday morning two other people were seriously wounded in that incident a twenty two year old iraqi and a twenty three year old syrian man have been taken into custody following that and it prompted opposition figures to come out and say that this shows that integration in germany isn't working that the police are failing to keep people safe now since twenty fifteen germany has taken in over

a million refugees and migrants and integration has been a problematic issue the most recent proposal that was put forward which involved compulsory community service and also. also conscription into the military was recently dismissed by the chancellor. i don't want to bring to use compulsory military service i've consulted with military chiefs the i'll see that the profession of soldier is not what it used to be and has changed. but it's not just in germany it's the question over integration has been raised in france senior figure within the center right republican party has said that the current policies on integration aren't working and if things continue then european identity european civilisation as he puts it as we know it could be at risk. how can we fail to realize that we have reached the limit as regards integration and that this must immigration of today poses

a cultural threat to european civilization over three years since the first refugees in migrants started to arrive in europe this certainly no consensus and no current you all solution on how to integrate them into society. now the attorney for donald trump's former lawyer has significantly backtracked on his groundbreaking claims about the information his client could provide to help prove trump russia collusion as cross live to new york to get latest from caleb moore thanks for joining us the original claims of course by michael cohen's lawyer talked of providing a smoking gun didn't may that missing but in the puzzle between trump and russia what we know so far well lanny davis who is the attorney representing michael cohen folks will remember that he promised a bombshell when it came to allegations of trump russia collusion let's reveal

mr cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel the computer crime of hacking and whether or not. mr trump new head of time about the crime and even cheered it on now he also promised that he would reveal something scandalous regarding the meeting between donald trump's son and two russian nationals at trump tower let's review that as well sources with knowledge tell myself and call that michael cohen claims then candidate donald trump knew in advance about the june twenty sixth meeting in trump tower crucially these sources tell us that cohen is willing to make that assertion to the special counsel wabbit mohler. well it appears that now that story is being backtracked cohen's attorney lanny

davis says that the claims were exaggerated he's saying that it was a poor choice of words let's take a listen. i should have been more clear including with you that i could not independently confirm what happened i regret my ira. now the washington post has backtracked however c.n.n. continues to stand by their story and we've seen a tweet about it from donald trump donald trump tweeted out michael cohen's attorney has clarified the record saying his client does not know if president trump knew about the trump tower meeting of which nothing came the answer did not know about the answer is that i did not know about the meeting it was just another phony story by the fake news media that's from president donald trump now why is this a big deal in the first place well if this story turned out to be true it would have been a significant piece of evidence to prove trump russia collusion that was the basis

of the investigation by special counsel robert muller was was based on trying to find evidence of collusion between donald trump and russia during the twenty sixteen presidential election now so far over one the half years of investigating there have been people charged but nothing related to trump russia collusion has been revealed and nothing has been discovered to prove trump russia collusion as of yet which was the basis of the investigation some of transformer associates have been charged under various other things but nothing showing trump russia collusion has come forward so the fact that yet again we see another story being backtracked as yet another another you know source that critics of the bob muller investigation will point to to say that trump is right when he says no collusion but i think we're going to see how much the truck in there is it's not the last we're going to hear from the trial and indeed from the investigation into collusion altie is capable live from new york thanks for that update. of the syrian government says

it's ready to recapture the last major rebel stronghold of damascus has been deploying additional forces to the front line clave still says it's willing to pursue a course of reconciliation that idea however was snubbed by the key. militant group controlling the area thirty of. its leader warned other factions from talking to damascus. meanwhile the russian defense ministry says the u.s. is expanding its strike capabilities near syria moscow says it has intelligence that jarvis are attending to stage a chemical attack which the west could use the justify action against the syrian

government a strike on cases item using poison laden missiles is planned within the next forty eight hours that some players outside the region are preparing yet more provocations on syrian soil involving chemical weapons with the aim of destabilizing the situation there and undermining the positive dynamics of the ongoing peace process. more the missive warns that it's the white helmets pro rebel group that will be there first with cameras and tweets as they usually are whenever there are rumors of chemical attacks and we reached out to them for comment and as is also usual the u.s. and its power stabbed ready with guns drawn we now see plans for the syrian regime to resume offensive military activities and it would. we are obviously. about the possibility that it may use chemical weapons again

if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly it's getting very hot in the area america's just pulled up another guided missile cruiser packed with tomahawk missiles the weapon of choice when attacking syria also u.s. strategic bombers heavy duty stuff have just arrived in the neighborhood the russians also acting moving more and more ships to the mediterranean room it's a submarine stool and it's cruel dreadfully reminiscent of what happened last time.

neal weeks before the alleged chemical incident in ghouta the incident that provoked a british friends and u.s. missile barash well me a weeks before that the russians warned the rebels were preparing to stage a chemical attack now they're warning it will happen. again which begs the question why oh why would ask who has almost won this war why would he launch a chemical attack and invite disaster now there is no value for syria or its allies in using chemical weapons against any of the terrorists syria is already winning syria has already won along with its allies along with russia and with iran and hezbollah they have already essentially defeated the tech feed terrorist cleanup time the other thing you've got is we have so many times been told that the organization for the preventive prohibition of

chemical warfare has emptied syria of all of its chemical weapons this happened a few years ago but we keep getting told syria is making chemical weapons. french president said his plans for europe's defense speaking to the country's ambassadors he underlined the region security can no longer rely so heavily on the united states. a lot from the europe can no longer rely solely on the united states receipt curacy sent to us today to take responsibility and guarantee european security and consequently european sovereignty mr michael went to outline a number of quite the united states such a very similar to cripes that the european union has with the united states and particularly the trumpet administration there things such as the trade wars that we've seen in recent months this is the hiking of steel an element in tariffs with countries around the world also the fact that the trumpet ministration his

withdrawal from the paris climate accord it's also withdrawn from the iranian nuclear deal earned of course there has been doubts from the trumpet ministration particularly from president trump himself over nato itself which is the security force bowings the us and europe now he's talked in the past saying that he thinks the us is doing too much so all of these concerns have prompted my own say we can't now rely on the u.s. for security we have to do something about it ourselves what is that well he's talked about this closer defense cooperation here in europe but he's also said that europe needs to look beyond its borders and to look to other countries such as russia in the feature. film for simply reinforce solidarity would imply revisiting the european architecture of defense and security by nish eating renewed dialogue on cybersecurity chemical weapons conventional weaponry territorial conflicts space security the protection of the protozoan simply take it with russia i want to

launch exhaustive reflection with our european partners in a broad sense with russia but defense relationship with russia mr michael said depends on europe and russia finding a neutral agreement in progress when it comes to the minutes of peace agreement on the continuing conflict in. praying so it seems that as the u.s. continues to isolate. itself longstanding partners such as you european union that could be paving the way to new relationships with other countries turnage. and other headlines north korea's state controlled newspaper has taken aim at the us claiming it's plotting to wage war on pyongyang and accuse washington of staging secret military drills saying that eventually infiltrating the north korean capital the us is hatching a criminal plot to unleash a war against the d.p. r. k. and commit

a crime which deserves merciless divine punishment in case the us fails in the scenario of the d p r k's unjust and brigand ish denuclearization first we cannot take a serious note of the double dealing attitudes of the us as it is busy staging secret drills involving man killing special units were having a dialogue with a smile on its face a spokesperson for the u.s. embassy in seoul said he had no information about the alleged drill and the article came just after a visit to pyongyang by the u.s. secretary of state was abruptly canceled by donald trump on twitter the president cited a lack of sufficient progress in the denuclearization of the korean peninsula for those visit would have been the first by a high ranking u.s. official since that historic summit between trump and king john back in june that both sides there agreed to restart their relations helping to bring a stable and lasting peace they reached

a consensus on the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula while agreeing on security guarantees for north korea donald trump alle the summit as a huge success. very proud of what took place today and it worked out for both of us far better than anybody even predicted and it's an honor to be with you. maybe sixty. minutes later. we will. get. international affairs expert hundred long thinks washington's perception of how denuclearization it should go is totally unrealistic. it is a possible misunderstanding on the part of the united states that from day one that north korea is going to give up everything not this is totally unrealistic because how much can north korea can trust the u.s. government from day one so it must be a gradual process whereby the north koreans would. cut

down some of the activities in exchange for some gestures some real progress in terms of following relationship between the united states and north korea and also in terms of possibly economic. relationships and investments so that's called deliver step by step but if for donald trump to expect that everything will happen on day one of korea in return only for undertaking this is totally unrealistic. to us nationals are among twelve people jailed for attempting a coup this story and more after this short break. you

know world big partisan movie 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 bath 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 watching the hawks. when lawmakers manufacture consent to the public will. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the final merry go round lives only the one percent. nor middle of the room. in the real new.

world. or come back to our to international to us nationals in vietnam have been sentenced to fourteen years in prison over an attempted coup they were among twelve people sentenced all of the members of the provisional national government to vietnam which was the played a terrorist organization by the country's authorities back in january the war in vietnam and that more than four decades ago but apparently for some the struggle goes on. the vietnam war one of the world's bloodiest conflicts and the american army's biggest defeat to you ideologically opposed blocks in two decades of fighting came at a cost of fifty six thousand u.s. troops who in a bid to overthrow the communist regime of north vietnam the casualties among

civilians were much greater at least two million people died in the war. after hopes of tightening the democratic grip across the vietnamese state slipped away and up to one hundred forty one billion dollars was spent on military operations the us folded two i'd been exhausting rule at home and abroad. nine hundred seventy three thousands of antiwar protesters would later contribute to the end of u.s. military involvement and two years later the south surrendered with vietnam forced to unite under a socialist flag. however it would take years for vietnam to heal from the wounds of the us campaign. napalm bombs and toxic herbicides left the country scarred. and its citizens suffering. fast forward to twenty eight and us vietnam relations have turned a new leaf. even prospering. however there are some people who can't let go of the

past among them the provisional national government of the republic of vietnam most of them share one thing in common they all supported or fought for the south vietnamese army and had to flee when the war ended in one nine hundred seventy five they dream of a regime they never had a chance to see. and they're proactive about sharing their agenda they have their own prime minister and even newspapers about their cause printed in japan malaysia and thailand recently they've caught the attention of more global audience at. the ministry of public. security should announce the organization of the provisional national government of vietnam as a terrorist organization. they plan to buy weapons in an attempt to carry out terror attacks to their plots were uncovered and they were arrested by the enemy security forces. twelve members were charged with subversion

attempting to broadcast anti state messages described as a coup two of those behind it were american nationals of vietnamese descent. has been revealed they openly pan letters to the u.s. president with their h.q. even based in california it may be almost half a century since the end of the vietnam war but under the surface there are still rumbling with some still willing to fight for a cause they never saw come to fruition. we just saw there one of the two of us national centers there's heightened james and again the u.s. embassy in vietnam has released a statement saying it will continue to provide him support some locals say the group people don't through just doesn't understand times have changed. this reactionary group which carries out acts of sabotage against the vietnamese government is deplorable the government is determined to maintain peace and stability so that the country can develop and prosperity be brought to the people

in the groups members should not delude themselves into thinking what they do is right what they don't understand the times have changed they don't understand the position of they put themselves in when they conspired against a country i think the sentences were too lenient. the democratic republic of congo has seen its worst outbreak of a bowler in over a decade since the start of that month the virus has killed seventy two people from one hundred eleven confirmed or probable cases the last major pan-african outbreak between twenty forty and sixteen killed around eleven thousand people those who survived found it wasn't the end of their struggle as they were treated as out costs by their communities artie's documentary a bowl of surviving survival tells their story you can watch it at eight thirty g.m.t. . good

morning. ready to. have you told. people we are standing on the road. people we have been with you know the ground. like. that. sure. that is that is that. is what a. lot of the titles most of the live now watch out. live for today

and said in the law that will fulfill. them all together. and that itself must sell for teens and not go to law school things and i don't want us to. fund it in the media sleep. a lot of you may bet on last. night and not flat out down. just yet in the church for. this very rare series it will to everybody the whole nature of them let it go forward it's what we would. forego in fort hood is all. this awful gab or no might not want to talk about. it tell what it would be doing

because it would have been a mob if it was to be born out of the you know we did it just about we pass it what i mean. that's it for this i was going to get an offer now for the latest global news updates. childes seem wrong but old roles just don't go all. the way to get to shape out these days to come out to it and engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground the.

oh. so. you know. the. my family. tree in the.

front there her reference a consequence of a nuclear blast and global struggle to abolish the nuclear weapons altogether will it succeed. seventy three years off to the world food. fix of nuclear weapons. you're all still growing with. the planet

can humanity you feel to rely on feel of mutually assured destruction to keep peace . is the drive to get rid of nuclear weapons realistic until the lists of regime are removed well you know today. burning exactly are really great to have you on our program welcome to thank you very much so. lots of relevant issues to discuss with you. so far your country is the only country that has suffered from the use of the nuclear weapons understandable why japanese people are so adamant on abolishing nuclear arms. but you say that those advocating nuclear disarmament are realistic you really think so i mean how realistic because nuclear states including your biggest partner united states opposed that well i say . you know realistic because. or argument or.

you know the goal for abolishment of nuclear weapons is based on the reality of what happens to human beings. it's use when it's actually used so we know the reality of the use of it and sometimes. you know deterrence. strategy they're all discussed on paper you know there are certain assumptions there are certain assumptions. this number if we have this number you know two. actions in sitra. well there are you know other two. but. you know mostly it's perception idea based. no

standing there real are you talking about those who are actually supporters of the terror but i mean we didn't have a war for the last seventy years thanks to terrance you don't think that's reason enough to think that that's a good thing you know well deterrence no this war no having a war or no having a large number of casualty is not necessarily just because. u.s. and russia you know as a country has. nuclear weapons there are so many other factors that. deter the war. well i'm talking about you know. nuclear deterrence in deterrence is something. probably this is scary. but i'm talking about nuclear deterrence what. i did value of nuclear

deterrence. you know to the conventional deterrence in other deter. so all of the fact that it should never ever take place because it's so horrid that no one would ever want to have that ever happen again but done is based on the assumption that there is no mistake there is no misjudgment there is no accident no there are a lot of assumptions that current. you know deterrence is based on. historically actually it's been proven wrong you know there has been many accidents. many misjudgments almost lead to actual nuclear war which is really risky situation so this nuclear powers that the global powers at this point. they're all very wary of each other that's why they don't really want to

give up their nukes how do you see this technically happening if they where ever to happen like they all should give it up at the same time. well of course the process need to be carefully designed and i don't think it's going to happen tonight that night. so what we need. to seriously look into. and of course the situation is very different in regions deterrence against what you know already did turn against him where. is a very important question and you have to. you know dig into details and try to come up with the process in each situation to reduce nuclear weapons and finally eliminate it you have said it yourself is

different they all have their reasons and yet nuclear weapons are only a manifestation of global political problems that each country has right can you really simply get rid of the nuclear weapons without addressing those problems because you know they're intertwined together i mean pakistan is afraid of a bigger india and doesn't want to be the next to say surrounded by hostile arab states so unless you address those political problems you can't really talk about getting rid of nukes well no i don't think so. first you know deterrence is nuclear deterrence is different from deterrence so we're talking about nuclear deterrence and the added value of nuclear deterrence and if you carefully look into each. you know situation.

we should be able to find the new equilibrium. you know strategy stability is equilibrium in game theory. and there is a multiple. possible multiple equilibrium usually and that's based on conditions or assumptions. and. if we could find their way to move that equilibrium to other position which is less costly or namely equilibrium with a nuclear weapon. much. more economical. probably less risk so what i'm saying is why. not we just say all because we have this conflict but having nuclear weapon is

something. that you've taken granted taken us granted but this look for ways. whether you know their ways to move to leave them to a new one you know and of course i don't say it's easy. and there are. some measures probably. multiple party. needs to agree upon. but i don't think you've seen possible we just have to make that therefore stop what do you think of the nuclear weapons ban treaty adopted by the united nations can it ever go beyond declaring intent to actually have an actual impact but it's true that nuclear weapons countries must be involved in the process otherwise i mean it's only the nuclear weapon

countries that can reduce or. eliminate nuclear weapons so finally they have to be involved and it's you know about the process again you know how we involve the nuclear weapon states so you have this in this hiroshima for global peace plan in motion and i looked at it and i have to say that i admire the idea that. your devotion to it. do you have my doubts about how to promote what you stand for i mean conferences and rock concerts you know i cover politics a lot of wars a lot and you know peace doesn't come through concerts and conferences so. how do you make sure that. in fact through this program. you should be aware that something speeds come through music concerts to that day so you know

those activities. you know the. public know like increasing public awareness or as some of the. more experts. like roundtable talk we have been here a few months. talk among experts and polish policy makers. about what we can do so. we think. the final goal of course is to eliminate nuclear weapons but. who. eliminates it. is actually the leader of the new good work in country in the structure that supports the leader. like the bureaucracy in the expert system and also

public who has the basic foundation for the system so we are trying to. find a way to reach in you know how effective each action. we have to try many things is you know this is very complicated and very significant issue so it doesn't. again you know. so we're trying to do. whatever we can in the find a more effective way. to achieve a goal we're going to take a break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to governor you jackie will discuss more who is right behind the policy or those who want to stay with

us. israel's got a lot of oil but there are a refinery and this is paid to oil it all they're trying to levers our oil position through the machinations of a crypto currency you know my suggestion is you know maybe build a few refineries you know sell higher end product and put that money back into the

economy in this way may take ten or fifteen years but you're not going to be now taken over by some cia operative. they're not going to how to not have a lot of love go to the not a lot of them out of the money that i am going to get out of going. this was a good time to. try to move. not that i wasn't going to have a lot. more nor. why it generated the whole people we believe up to begin. a lot of my kids i don't want them up with johnny who are of the moment i want to tell them about how do it all the kids there is a lot of them on the white community old enough to want to the people i don't want

to put out in the most part of the brotherhood. there's a. word. and

we're back with governor governor so there are some serious steps towards nuclear going on in your neighboring north korea i wonder what you think about that because it has announced a suspension of nuclear missile ballistic testing shutting down a nuclear test site. this is widely seen as a positive step towards nuclear is ation do you think kim jong un is actually not going to make any nuclear tests on what well we cannot have a conclusion and yet we have to see you know we have to see the options. you know being. betrayed so many times. through the past negotiations. so what's important is.

you know it's been one of the word is used. you know reversible. how it is reversible you know how to prove it you know course. in the check it. very important issue but we need to do that to. actually be the most korea nuclear so you have an arson a korea south. is that our meeting right now and the talks between america and north korea are being set up and all of the partners at korea north korea south korea america japan they're saying that the ultimate goal is to see completely denuclearized north korea a logical question is why would came john and give up his nuclear arsenal i mean why would all of a sudden destroy completely something that he's building up for a decade. is exactly why we have to really see the

actions of north korea i think. you know. motivations of course. one extending. the current regime and if he believes. having a nuclear. is more beneficial to extending the regime he may hold onto it. if he believes. giving it up is more beneficial. for extending their resume as he will so you know we have to prepare the environment that he believes in. that you know. so for he knew the more precise in your opinion what should be getting. in exchange of giving up then you

know what he's saying is security assurance and denuclearization in you know there might be i mean. security assurance there might be more concrete. requests require ments conditions like having no. u.s. force in peninsula or something. so i don't know they will come out but you know it's. very difficult. to to predict now you know what conditions he would give up the newsgroup and at this point we need to see and also. the timing i will discuss the timing because japan's foreign minister says that north korea should abolish nuclear arms by

twenty twenty. do you think that's a realistic goal time wise because i mean it took two years of tops to just stop the iranian nuclear program they didn't even have an actual weapon i mean how can this diplomacy with north korea work faster than with iran. you know whether it's realistic or too fast or. too slow you know i hope you feet by twenty twenty that's very welcome. to the extent. it's possible everyone should make every effort to to to cheap that. you know. i would say there's no too early for that so. i don't know if it's you go or not but at least you could try so like i mentioned south.

america are going to sit down and talk to north korea as of now japan has been about it to those talks do you think it should be part of those talks or what can they bring to the table. well. you know. you know a lot of rules in the. entire sitting an entire condition or sitting the entire environment or longer process of you know post agreement to. i don't know a disappoint. can do but at least you know carefully. you know see a u.s. korea's. movement or options and

think you know. in a given position but. you know really the pressure on north korea on this we actually see put. options it's also quite interesting to see what's going to happen to your country's security because japan has been relying on us for protection for decades and now trump is saying its allies in asia pacific should rely more and more on their own resources their own security and then you know we have personally heard the japanese government saying that slowly japan should be expanding its own japanese military do you think it's time to rethink the security concept of japan well you know i don't think the big picture will change will continue to lie as with the united states of course it will have close relationship with korea. and other.

some of the other. countries too. but in that balance or some roles could be redefined. well for example. you know we. would like to see japan to be a u.s. nuclear nuclear deterrence not the deterrence as a whole but nuclear deterrence that will give a better position in terms of promoting nuclear. nation or nuclear disarmament. and. for example if you look carefully we recently received a report paper from you need year. research institute.

if you go back to the first question. if we look carefully. at the. situation. a nuclear deterrence against north korea is not necessary. you know. that every minute. you know that american nuclear terrorists in a way is a guarantee that no one attacks japan is well now well known though not necessarily because you know for example north korea. their motivation is to. know to be invaded not to be. attacked to destroy the regime. you keep interrupting you but you know i'll forget to ask you this it feels like you don't think the north korea is actually capable of

attacking and they very well they are they are they are capable of attacking neighbor but whether they will do is a different question right you don't think they'll do they think they use the nukes just to keep the regime in place that's it. they feel you know really oppressed. or you know. they're they feel there is immediate. very imminent danger of being attacked but they know that once they are using nuclear weapons that's basically the end there is seen no. because there would be. there would be fight for about and you know there's so much. you don't feel like i just have to go to the question because you didn't quite answer you don't feel like you need american nuclear deterrent because you don't feel like north korea is actually about to attack someone it's more about keeping its regime

in tahoe it's not about feeling or you know. it's not about feeling it's not me saying this but i'm talking about disunity and people paper. from chris point of view their nuclear deterrence you know what they're deterrent against is a time. from it to destroy the regime and if. the top first you know it's. very certain that their regime will collapse so they're real possibility. probability that north korea is going to attack you know from themselves well what we're talking about at this point.

if you were. again talking about. is to destroy the north korea's nuclear capability you know they need to use so many nuclear weapons if they used nuclear weapons and is very realistic which is going to cause so much radiation issues no only was in those korea south korea china and russia to their all. in the original question was that japan always enjoyed america's protection because we don't have the military security system in place to protect your country now that trump is saying that you should rely more on your own resources do you think japan needs an actual army and actual security system in place. i wouldn't say we don't have at all we

have a conventional defense system to a certain extent and we're partnering with states my view for example you know. nuclear deterrence against north korea we may have. meant we could be. the nuclear deterrent to change. the roles and the balance right. so there could be. new balance you know new. thinking or a security. system i just have plus two questions sensitive issue you're trying these perception. of japan in general so the american president has a visit here ashima but do you see a situation where a japanese prime minister for instance visits non-germane because the chinese are saying you know. so anti nuclear complain in japan of which you are part of of

course is sort of a way to whitewash japan's role in a world war two and not fair because you can't discuss the bombing without the reasons behind the bombing do you do you see a situation where your prime minister would actually visit nineteen like american president hiroshima you know maybe possible. you know. and of course depends environment and context if dot is. in the core of the context. think you'd be difficult for a prime minister to go but the party's out of context you know it may be he may be able to go. all right thank you very much for this interview wish you all the best a lot and have a nice rest of the same question thank you you thank

. leap. little not enough it would suit rich. people as a way of all's from scenarios. i came back to the community of. people we are based on the you know the road look at me all you got is all viable blowtorch.

just. say. she's going. to simulate it doesn't that give us all that. don't. know we're going to this. was the cut was also i'm not touching him in my life. i see a man have to die. child's seemed wrong but old roles just don't call. me old yet to shape our disdain comes to educate and in games from an equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you know my going to want it. but i. just want your hideaway lost his mask is. showing us as you know part of his you know. you know just i mean. i mean. this is not that's what i really feel so i just don't get it i'm getting letters but those. people are going to respect. my family facet. of the thirty. three and he. gives you.

a lot of pictures from the second day of demonstrations in the german city of kemet software local was stabbed to death an incident described. as involving people of various nationalities some of the concerns over migrant integration of neighboring france to look at how the issue is being handled in western europe. and moscow says the u.s. expansion of its capabilities me to syria could be assigned washington's getting prepared ahead of a possible false flag chemical attack by terrorists in the province. and the

attorney for trump's for the tracks on his groundbreaking claims about the information his client could provide to prove trump collusion. they're workers who are thieves and asked to live from moscow who can swerve you are welcome to the program. it was the second day now of large right wing rallies in the german city of kevin let's you can see some of the latest pictures from the protest right now hundreds of people have gathered for a consecutive day these are live pictures of believe on the left and right if you want to you can see these protests took place after a local man was stabbed to death in an incident that was described by authorities as involving people of various nationalities now the crowds have been met by a counter protest by anti far activists understandably a huge police presence there you can see that rose off to the violence that took

place at the end of yesterday's rally protesters held bottles police who in turn tried to disperse the crowds. i. peter all of the reports on how a small case sparked a massive protest wave which reflects an overall trend across western europe. well that crowd that we saw there of around eight hundred people including it said members of a far right football hooligan outfit lording through central kim it all was sparked following the stabbing to death of a thirty five year old man in the early hours of sunday morning two other people were seriously wounded in that incident a twenty two year old iraqi and a twenty three year old syrian man have been taken into custody following that but it prompted opposition figures to come out and say that this shows that integration

in germany isn't working that the police are failing to keep people safe now since twenty fifteen germany has taken in over a million refugees and migrants and integration has been a problematic issue the most recent proposal that was put forward which involved compulsory community service and also. also conscription into the military was recently dismissed by the chancellor. i don't want to ever introduce compulsory military service i've consulted with military chiefs the i'll see that a professional soldier is not what it used to be and has changed for it but it's not just in germany the question over integration has been raised in france senior figure within the center right republican party has said that the current policies on integration aren't working and if things continue then european identity

european civilisation as he puts it as we know it could be at risk. how can we fail to realize that we have reached the limit as regards integration and that this mass immigration of today poses a cultural threat to european civilization over three years since the first refugees in migrants started to arrive in europe there's certainly no consensus and no catch all solution on how to integrate them into society. in other news the syrian government says it's ready to recapture the last major rebel stronghold of damascus has been deploying additional forces to the front line of the enclave though it still says it's willing to pursue a course of reconciliation however that idea was snubbed by the key militant group controlling the area. its leader warned other factions against talking to damascus .

but. meanwhile the russian defense ministry says the us is expanding its strike capability is near the country moscow says it has intelligence that jihad a third intending to stage a chemical attack which the west could use to justify action against the syrian government a strike on using poison laden missiles is planned within the next forty eight hours that some players outside the region are preparing yet more provocations on syrian soil involving chemical weapons with the aim of destabilizing the situation there and undermining the positive dynamics of the ongoing peace process. more the missive warns that it's the white helmets pro rebel group that will be there first with cameras and tweets as they usually are whenever there are room tax and we

reached out to the tax and we reached out to them for comment and as is also usual the u.s. and its power stabbed ready with guns drawn we now see plans for the syrian regime to resume offensive military activities and it with. we are obviously. a better possibility that it may use chemical weapons again if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly it's getting very hot in the area america's just pulled up another guided missile cruiser packed with tomahawk missiles the weapon of choice when attacking syria also u.s. strategic bombers heavy duty stuff have just arrived in the neighborhood the russians also acting moving more and more ships to the mediterranean room it's

a submarine tool and its tool dreadfully reminiscent of what happened last time. neal weeks before the alleged chemical incident in ghouta the incident that provoked a british friends and u.s. missile barash well me a weeks before that the russians warned the rebels were preparing to stage a chemical attack now they have warning. it will happen again which begs the question why why would ask who has almost won this war why would he do in

a chemical attack and invite disaster now there is no value for syria or its allies in using chemical weapons against any of the. terrorists syria is already winning syria has already won along with its allies along with russia with iran and hezbollah they have already defeated. the cleanup time the other thing you know is we have so many times been told that the organization for the preventive prohibition of chemical warfare has emptied syria of all of its chemical weapons this happened a few years ago but we keep getting told syria is making chemical weapons. and the attorney for donald trump's former lawyer has significantly backtracked on his groundbreaking claims about the information his client could provide to help provide proof russia collusion of course live to new york to get the latest from caleb maupin those claims. his lawyer they spoke about providing that key evidence

that night between trump and russia that collusion what's happened since then. well folks will recall that the lawyer representing michael cohen has been going around the mainstream media presenting basically saying that his client will have you know bombshell evidence about russia collusion there's been claims that he knew about the alleged hacking of the democratic national committee there's also claims that he knows something regarding the infamous meeting between donald donald trump jr and the two russian nationals supposedly to get information on hillary clinton you know he's been been indicating the attorney has been indicating that that something big might be revealed by his client let's take a listen. i can tell you that mr cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel and is more

than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows. now after some big news stories came out regarding these claims we're now seeing the attorney representing michael cohen start to backtrack he's saying that he misspoke let's take a listen to what he's saying now i should have been more clear including with you that i could not independently confirm what happened i regret my ira. now speaking up on twitter donald trump responded to the backtracking he said michael cohen's attorney has clarified the record saying his client does not know if president trump knew about the trump tower meeting of which came nothing the answer is that i did not know about the meeting just another phony story from the fake news media now why is this a big deal well if this story turned out to be true it would show some collusion

between russia and the trumpet ministration and that's what these special investigation led by robert muller has been aiming to divulge that was the purpose of the investigation however it's been over a year and a half and no collusion has been discovered now two former trump associates have been charged with the crimes that the felonies that they've been charged for have not been in any way related to allegations of collusion between the trumpet ministration and russia during the twenty sixteen presidential election so yet again we see an attempt on the media's part to claim they've discovered some collusion between trump and russia we see them now backtracking against that claim and once again we see this this claim kind of backfiring are falling through and those who are looking for this this allegation of trump russia collusion are left once again without any big discovery of us because we're of course so far from over would be interesting to see what else is revealed better off he's capable than from

new york. french president and. his plans for europe's defense he spoke to the country's ambassador isn't the region's security. so heavily on the united states. a lot pre-commit europe can no longer rely solely on the united states receipt curity sent to us today to take responsibility and guarantee european security and consequently european sovereignty mr michael went to outline a number of points to the united states such a very similar to cripes that the european union has with the united states and particularly the trumpet administration this things such as the trade wars that we've seen in recent months this is the high king of steel an element in tariffs with countries around the world also the fact that the trumpet ministration his withdrawal from the paris climate accord it's also withdrawn from the iranian nuclear deal earned of course there has been doubts from the trumpet ministration

particularly from president trump himself over nato itself which is the security force that boeing's the u.s. and europe now he's talked in the past saying that he thinks the u.s. is doing too much so all of these concerns have prompted me to say we can now rely on the u.s. the security we have to do something about it ourselves what is that what he's talked about this closer defense cooperation here in europe but he's also said that europe needs to look beyond its borders and to look to other countries such as russia in the feature. film for simply reinforce solidarity would imply revisiting the european architecture of difference in security. new dialogue on cybersecurity chemical weapons conventional weaponry territorial conflicts space security the protection of the protozoan sympatico with russia i want to launch exhaustive reflection with our european partners in a broad sense with russia but defense relationship with russia mr mark said depends

on europe and russia finding a mutual agreement in progress when it comes to the minute's peace agreement on the continuing conflict of praying so it seems that as the u.s. continues to isolate the. itself a long standing partners such as you european union that could be paving the way to new relationships with other countries turnage. north korea's state controlled newspaper has taken aim at the us claiming it's plotting to wage war on pyongyang that accuse washington of staging secret military drills aimed at of actually infiltrating the north korean capital the us is hatching a criminal plot to unleash a war against the d.p. r. k. and commit a crime which deserves merciless divine punishment in case the us fails in the scenario of the d p r k's unjust and brigand ish denuclearization first we cannot

take a serious note of the double dealing attitudes of the us as it is busy staging secret drills involving man killing special units were having a dialogue with a smile on its face less worksman for the u.s. embassy in seoul said he had no information about the alleged trail the article of course came just after a visit to pyongyang by the u.s. secretary of state was cancelled abruptly by trump the president cited a lack of sufficient progress in the denuclearization of the korean peninsula proposed visit would have been the first by a high ranking u.s. official since the historic summit between trump. back in june about them both sides agreed to restart their relations helping to bring a stable and lasting peace they reached a consensus on the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula while also agreeing on security guarantees for north korea donald trump alle the summit as

a huge success. very proud of what took place today and it worked out for both of us far better than anybody even predicted it's an honor to be with you. mr. minister is it. like. we will. get. international affairs expert underlying thinks so washington's perception of how denuclearization should go is totally unrealistic it is a possible misunderstanding on a par but a united states that from day one that north korea is going to give up everything now this is totally unrealistic because how much can korea can trust the u.s. government from day one so it it must be a gradual process whereby the north koreans would. cut down some of the activities in exchange for some gestures some real progress in

terms of following relationship between the united states and north korea and also in terms of possibly economic. relationships and u.s. moves so it's called deliver step by step but if for donald trump to expect that everything will happen on day one in both korea in return only for kind of undertaking this is totally unrealistic and vietnam to us nationals are among twelve people jailed for attempting a coup a lot more on that story and others just after the short break. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each

day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you long for the old for rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember in one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. camera. roughly once they showed some leave for them. to. shoot your own cool videos and sell them with the roughly string of apps. down more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. .

welcome back swati to us nationals in vietnam have been sentenced to fourteen years in prison for an attempted coup they were among twelve people sentenced all of them members of the provisional national government to vietnam which was declared a terrorist organization by the country's authorities back in january the war in vietnam and that more than four decades ago apparently for some of those the struggle goes on. the vietnam war one of the world's bloodiest conflicts and the american army's biggest defeat to you ideologically opposed blocks in two decades of fighting came at a cost the fifty six thousand u.s. troops who were in the bed to overthrow the communist regime of north korea now the casualties among civilians great at least two million people died in the wall. after hopes of tightening democratic grip across the vietnamese state slipped away

and up to one hundred forty one billion dollars was spent on military operations the us folded two had been exhausting or at home and. nine hundred seventy three thousands of antiwar protesters would later contribute to the end of u.s. military involvement and two years later the south surrendered with vietnam forced to unite under a socialist flag. however it would take years for vietnam to heal from the wounds of the us campaign. napalm bombs and toxic herbicides left the country scarred. and its citizens suffering. fast forward to twenty eight and us vietnam relations have turned a new leaf. even prospering. however there are some people who can't let go of the past among them the provisional national government of the third republic of vietnam most of them share one thing in common they all supported or fought for the

south vietnamese army and had to flee when the war ended in one nine hundred seventy five they dream of a regime they never had a chance to see. and they're proactive about sharing their agenda they have their own prime minister and even newspapers about their cause printed in japan malaysia and thailand recently they've caught the attention of more global audience is. the ministry of the. security should announce the organization of the provisional national government of vietnam as a terrorist organization. they planned to buy weapons in an attempt to carry out terror attacks but their plots were uncovered and they were arrested by vietnamese security forces. twelve members were charged with subversion attempting to broadcast anti state messages described as a coup two of those behind it were american nationals of vietnamese descent. has

been revealed they openly pan letters to the u.s. president with a q. even based in california it may be almost half a century since the end of the vietnam war but under the surface there are still rumblings with some still willing to fight for a cause they never saw come to fruition. but as we just saw one of the two u.s. national centers there's heightened james again the u.s. embassy in vietnam has released a statement saying it will continue to provide him with support some roekel say the group you belong through just doesn't understand times have changed. this reactionary group which carries out acts of sabotage against the vietnamese government is deplorable the government is determined to maintain peace and stability so that the country can develop and prosperity be brought to the people in the groups members should not delude themselves into thinking what they do is right. they don't understand that times have changed they don't understand the

position of they put themselves in when they conspired against the country i think the sentences were too lenient. iran is taking legal action against the us government over donald trump's the sit in to reimpose sanctions but the move set both countries on a collision course. the spartans you. know. gratian. was mark simone damage to the oil he runs filing with the international court of justice was an attempt to interfere with the sovereign rights of the united states to take lawful action including the reimposition of sanctions which are necessary to protect our national security earlier this year donald trump pulled the u.s. out of the twenty fifteen nuclear of pact between iran and a number of world powers. to restore sanctions against iran those include restrictions on a buying american currency as well as trading metals including precious ones as

well now these sanctions were met with resistance from washington's key allies including some european countries as well the e.u. even updated its blocking statute to limit the impact of those sanctions in the interests of european companies which they say were doing legitimate business in iran that came into effect just over twenty days ago oh let's go live now to save moustapha cautious from iranian political analyst thanks for joining us so good to have you on this lawsuit with the international court of justice where do you think this could lead business that is shots of going through of changing the course of u.s. action towards terror. hello and thanks for having me on r t m's good to be with you again well you know all imposing sanctions on nations that resembles liberation a war on state or non-state actors and that entitles the un and

other international bodies to take action by every means to stop the hostile party even by exercising force or through imposing countering sanctions or boycotts and that's an action that the u.n. should have taken for all the past four decades the iran has been under sanctions but it has not in the meantime the iranian nuclear deal was approved by the u.n. security council sanctions twenty two thirty one and the u.s. abrogation of the nuclear deal meant fold this respect for the u.n. security council and the u.n. document the resolution two in two thirty one and that means the u.n. should have already taken action to stop the u.s. and not just that but also to have the u.s. for this violation and the u.n. has not done anything unfortunately then that's why many believe for quite

a long time that the u.n. is becoming increasingly an instrument in the hands of the u.s. and its allies to exercise force against smaller countries or weaken countries or independent nations in the meantime all when sanctions are imposed on nations outside the u.n. charter chapter seven or un security council sanctions resolution they mean actually a hostile action a bully that entitle the victim state or nonstate to take legal action at international courts of arbitration. the highest ranking court is the i.c.c. the one in the. hake to defend themselves and that's the least thing that iran should have done and it has done that the first action i.c.c. or any other court should do according to the law is halting the action

the subject and the topic under discussion under dispute until the final verdict so the first thing at least is that the us would be required to hold the hostile action in this case sanctions i mean is it fair do you think for the us to claim it's in the solver interests of a country to impose these sanctions i mean they've been damaging to ordinary people in iran have a true that it's fair to say they haven't really worked in achieving u.s. aims that over they have been the negotiating table has been the place where these disputes have been decided already that's been proven how fair is this. you know all as i stated earlier all sanctions mean declaring war on end of the nation the us knows that it has three options actually one is a hard war hard war means when people are killed by missiles by bombs by bullets

and the us knows that it's incapable of exercising force against iran we have all seen the same situation in iraq and afghanistan it has two more options and it's using them that semi hard warfare which includes economic warfare and financial warfare against target or enemy countries that the us doesn't like like china iran russia also and nowadays turkey and also to some extent you could speak of europeans as well as the other one the last option that is being used by the us is soft war for changing the mindset of the people through proper ganda now the us is using the second and third options in order to you know harden punish iran. in order to pressure to iran to give up you know more and more concessions in the war is duty bound to take action to stop the u. italy. we are running out of time unfortunately but the like so much for giving.

them rein in political analyst great to have you on thanks for your take on that today. but that's it for now for the south for myself on the team here at r.t. join us again in about thirty minutes for the latest global news updates. so wrong. wrong just don't. get to. the attic. and in. the trailer. when some find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

and we're going underground on british armed forces day and in this special edition we're joined by pulitzer prize winning journalist site hersh who exposed nato nation war crimes of the military industrial complex from abu ghraib prison in the anglo-american war in iraq to the mean massacre site hersh has exerted a damning skepticism of the official line did the syrian government really use chemical weapons what was the truth behind the asama bin laden assassination what connects nato nations to isis die action al qaeda and should we believe to resume about the poisoning of the script files in england his new book reporter memoir is out now thanks so much for going back and going underground why you rather than

dick cheney and though you were writing a book on dick cheney. it's a source issue i mean what happened is. obama in the balmy years there was he tightened very much on leaks and dissent in particular in intelligence community put cia guy in jail there were people in the white house somebody was jailed also privately without public disclosure there was a sense that obama really didn't like leaks and so i had done a book on cheney i've written a lot about changing it for the new yorker during you know after nine eleven and there was a story a book to write and when i began giving chapters to people involved they said the appropriate you know it's going to be published because they would get in trouble their professional intelligence people and military people the ones i deal with they take an oath of office to the to the constitution and not to any particular president so i just had to i just couldn't publish the book and put him in jeopardy it would put them in jeopardy would would make it almost impossible for me that the

chick about me is that. i don't give up people i mean people they don't go after my people they don't know who they are i put nothing in a computer i write all my interviews in longhand and so i just felt if i if i publish stuff over their opposition and they got prosecuted i would not sleep at night and be also not be able to do the kind of reporting i'm still doing if anyone reading this memoir about so much military action of will kind or another they shouldn't be going to the fact that i think you said recently that we're in war with the united states is that war in seventy six countries now let alone the wars you clinical in this what i said was that there's seventy six places in the world where the americans are involved with kinetically with weapons and it based it was based on actually a public study done by an institute at brown university called the waltz and institute and i knowing some of the people involved in the study it's a lot of stuff that we have

a big special forces community that are active project in africa and a lot of places i think the public knows very little about it i don't think this are my president is been briefed on and even. i don't think he would he's not interested in or doesn't know about it i know there's concern about some people in the military and high up in the military in my government in washington what are these guys doing who's in control there's a lack of control in among the special forces they've just gotten and many of them are driven. with the idea that they are on a crusade that they're there the night some malta fighting the infidels in the fourteenth century a thirteenth century ice really crazy stuff and so i don't think when i hear military special operations command say about mali here's what happened four guys died how i'm sorry i i just think this probably much more to this story i think there's much more to our presence there but it's very hard to get to that stuff lots of opportunities for reporters is may be you thinking in any way that this

memoir already being reviewed quite widely favorably and helps in defending you from some quite extraordinary ad homonym attacks on your recent reporting oh it's you know the only thing that happened in my recent reporting is. it was fine when bush and cheney when dick cheney and george bush were in charge but want to bomb i came in he was the not the white knight if you will or the black knight ok it's african-american and it just changed it editors just you know that's the way it is the stories that would have been fine in the days of bush and cheney suddenly were you know not getting published and people were complaining that i am always on the complaining about anonymous sources as if every day the new york times you can't pick up the newspaper and find the lead story based on anonymous sources it's just part of our business you can't name people in particular the stuff i do know i you know when i first did the middle i story really master story in one nine hundred sixty nine the first thing i remember there was

a poll from the i think for university of minnesota fifty four percent of the people didn't believe it and forty six and among my peers you know eighty percent didn't believe it. you know i have to expand on that me a nice way because it's not only in the british curriculum as stated a mature in the united states you know how it is it's when i was growing up and born in one thousand thirty seven and by the time i got into my twenty's and thirty's world war one oh my god i don't think i knew about world war one his fields of poppies and hemingway novels so it's not surprising to me that the generation doesn't know what happened the lies vietnam has disappeared in america pretty we know it wasn't a good war for us i'm sure there are still five pages of textbooks but there was a period when universities all had special courses on the war but that was twenty thirty years ago you and i were too old buddy we're all people i'm a much younger yeah but you know look i know great here but you must think that i don't believe me but if we go. mentioned it the medium as it still

resonates that name of the judge will this may be historians of vietnam you tell in this book the story of trying to find sources witnesses just describe what you go into there and why i just got a tip about it you know i covered it's not as if i came from nothing i've been a police reporter in chicago and let me tell you about being a police reporter in one thousand nine hundred sixty wanted to go to go it was you learned a couple things you learned all about the weakness as my first job was copied we're working for a news agency to cover crimes and police aces and so what i learned was you could do anything you want as a reporter was great fun you're on the street you're reporting about fires and murders but if a cop kills a black person that's off the books you know you know no matter what your words not going to be taken and if if you ever get into the police relationship with the mafia in chicago you know this is sam giancana though some of those names some of your people know the famous mafioso as you could you could you could see fight some guy in the street with fourteen bullets in

a downtown area where those clubs controlled by the mob and everybody would be reported as that automobile accident and so i learned right away that there was tyranny in the world. hold that there are things you could do there was self censorship to stand shooting i had a great time i learned a lot about i covered fires i learned more about racism that i thought i would but i also knew there were there was as i say tyranny there were certain things you could not get the chicago police department was operating in the world on its own things have changed a lot since then but what a lesson that was in sixty sixty one i went in the army i worked for united press international i covered the legislature in peter south dakota town of ten thousand i was a chicago kid never lived in a small city i then worked in chicago and i was sent to washington covered the war from the pentagon learned they hate the war but the point i'm making is by the time i got to the meat life story had been in the business eight or nine years and so when i got a tip about somebody shooting up a village you've got to read before you write so i used to i was not about watching

reading the new york times coverage of the war and then i read the french the french journalist and bernard fall there was a couple wonderful french journalists who wrote about the fall of france in d.m.v. in food one hundred fifty four and so i read a lot and so i and there was a muscle tribunals was very important although everybody in america said burton russell's he hates america he's ninety four it was an incredible document there was testimony from american soldiers about shooting of villages like crazy fifty sixty five very early so when i got a tip about me i just whatever else i was doing and i thought i could do it but i thought i would heard that some g.i. went crazy and shot up seventy five people and that sounded like something that could happen what they did in the war early on is we would go into villages american units a company would go in on a raid find nobody there and we the way it worked as we always thought the viet cong our enemy the north through the maze they were farmers by day and guerrillas at night so we go early in the morning and catch him in bed after a night of being

a gorilla i don't know what the craziness was movement in children so after enough of those raids you would get frustrated sometimes the officers would say. ok guys i know you're all angry everybody could have a mad moment in this village the tank gunner with his missiles and the machine gun and you can shoot the villagers up so that was quick to let the guys get off if you will they so be happy so they should have villages and that's what i thought they were talking about and then i got into the story and at the same time as i'm writing about the fact these people killed five hundred sixty seven people something like that and innocent people there was no company to win in the war for about three months the kids did nothing about the vietnam war the culture and they were proportionally more hispanics and blacks than in the population and poor farm kids really white kids. are the secretary defense of lowered the standard by sixty seven and sixty eight he wanted no more there was a draft that presumably would take very edge well educated middle class white

people he didn't want them in the war because they would come home and talk and be articulate about it and the senator who ran against lyndon johnson eugene mccarthy used to talk recently about me that mcnamara wanted to change the color of the corpses but in this village they were brief this this company that hadn't seen the enemy they had been sniped at and they'd fallen into pits with sticks pool of poison they'd lost about twenty or thirty people have their hundred and they want to pay back and they were told by the cia official contract employ bad intelligence some are you're going to go into a village and are going to see the enemy there so they got ready to go to their credit to be kill or be killed for america right they had seen no combat really and they fly in and there's nothing there woman making five hundred fifty sixty men women no one no men old men women children and they began to round them up and executed what i could write about the they did things like throwing up babies and catching them alive and of

a nets i mean and raping like crazy i didn't. so much trouble that story because i didn't know what i was getting into when i first. i did it and the whore and shame i felt for my country and for my soldiers i've been in the army i did the army i was it was a piece i mean the idea that the guys i served with do this kind of stuff so in a way the kids who did it was mostly the white kids hispanics and the african-americans no way man this is that the old face the whites that they do it this isn't for us and the next day they all wore on band some of the miners minorities and they were ordered to take them off their black armbands trying to separate themselves from the white kids had done the shooting anyways just a mess was a great story and you didn't you know blame those soldiers oh i'll tell you so they were getting they want told anything about the society they didn't they were told they were communists they're out to kill us they didn't they went and they couldn't figure out these kids were not talking about the crime deal or crime of america

these are their working lower working class kids met them or lowered the standards that normally would be bright enough or have not about brains about education they want to get into the army so what did they know one of the problems they had is my god these people didn't have refrigerators. i mean i talked to forty or fifty that before i wrote my you know after i wrote a book about this afterwards and i went i spent six eight months just flying around america talking to kids some slammed the doors some did talk to me but many did and pouring out their heart they had a problem in vietnamese society when they evacuate one of the planes one of the things we did in the war was we would remove families from their lands that had been ancestral fields for their protection it was called the movement of what we called fortified hamlets which enabled us to declare the areas that they cleared free fire zones you could shoot in anything and when they had villages there were people you could do it so we had evacuated and say it's where they're good and put them in the little. protected areas with fences around them away from their fields

i mean they would do but choppers did and in vietnam society a mother would never let a child go into a strange threshold first they would go first and the soldiers would say ok when they lined up these kids the same group they would evacuate a village and they would say to the woman no children go first and the woman would not know english would would resist and they would beat him with their rifle butts and say look at these crazy woman want to go first leaving the kids behind not knowing the culture and so how can you they were as much victims in a way as those they killed. in this going on the ground special after the break. you know world big partisan. 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 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 watching the hawks. welcome back we're still here with his latest book reporter a memoir is out now in the past forty eight hours israeli jets of targeted damascus i mean the war seems to be continuing all of a kind you said that there were actually two suspects for the chemical attacks that news of which was beamed around the world as a reason why i say britain should bomb syria why do you think money journalists just said oh there is only one suspect the as a government and well that would happen is that the you're talking about an

incident in which. bashar assad's use of nerve agents against his own people. which is a turkey that was a two thousand and thirteen the obvious was a very rich from his point of reactionary force there was very hostile to his his presidency. and of course there was constant conflict conflict it was. one of the gangs and i says later it was a stronghold as we all know now it's bob and bob the smithereens war is awful we americans should maybe be a little more tolerant made to hatred for bashar he had a war it was an awful war and he fought it awfully but so do we everybody does that's the horrible thing about wars and they're not good when it was government funding the white helmets right now that say it's one sided here it's the go it can we trust you there's no question there's a look there i'm sure there are some people in the white home with that were very actually doing with you know trying to save lives but the it's pretty clear now

that they're basically the major funding also i think america was indirectly supplying some money certainly the brits were and so certainly it was a hedge it was a propaganda organization to along with possibly doing some real good relief work but too many times you seen the same child in photographs you know year after year always covered in dust i mean there's been a lot of actually good reporting on it that they do and gauge anti assad but it's very easy here assad is hated and i get a lot of criticism criticism for saying having a different story for example about the use of sarah and i could publish what i wanted about him in america had a publisher here and a london review now all that happens is in june of two thousand and thirteen there was a very important all source intelligence report put up by the american defense intelligence agency to include it but made it complicated for me i got a copy leaked i guess you call it and it had a lot of signals intelligence and the one reason i sort of stay alive i only ten i don't want to write i don't want to cross up any intelligence operation that's

reasonable legitimate so i there's a lot of stuff. in this particular document i didn't publish it because i didn't know how much of this stuff is is very competent we're doing us good learning some stuff about the other side i just didn't know so what i had a report that said there was tremendous concern in the community because both turkey the through there judged amerie their paramilitary police units were driving truck folds of the chemicals that when mixed together make a nerve agent it's called kitchen sir and it's very crude the syrian army has a very sophisticated sarah and that has additives that make it more lethal more toxicity more penetration much better weapon in fact it's so toxic nerve agent you can once you meld it once you make it taken or. phosphate and. alcohol i mean certain specific and you mix them and the additives you have to put in a weapon because it will burn through a weapon in a day even

a congress steel weapon so it's use it or lose it if you milled it and so we and the israelis used to monitor the syrian chemical arsenals and we could for once we detected a melding it that we were going to attack and israel was in this with us through israel knows the story i'm telling you and we also knew then the syrian army had a very sophisticated weapon and we also knew from this intelligence report that saudi arabia turkey were supplying the basic chemicals to al nusra which isis was in there that was the cutting edge and so there was a tremendous yes well absolutely. we always think everything you know because there was a law passed in two thousand and two after the invasion that said any time the president could do what he wants with congress so we always called everything. i mean everything everything around him in libya it was al qaeda in africa because that

gives you the cover of the law congress passed that stupid act he even push the right to. dean anywhere without going congressional authorization is amazing piece of legislation talk about dumb anyway the point is this report troubled everybody there was a study done about what can we do about it how many people american soldiers we should we didn't want to have there's a nerve agents something comes this attack and we get a sample from the russians and it's taken to serve peter wall who is the director jeff the head of the british military the sample is taken to his people down here they could take the port down where they conclude we know what the syria has serious been signed in a signatory to the geneva convention and chemical weapons we we know what syria has we know what it looks like and what was used in that place was not the same as in the syrian military this is told obama two times by the chairman of the joint chiefs before the recent. remember the red line when when the attack took place. so when the attack took place that allegedly forty nine there was one tenth as many as

matter when the attack took place and people were killed and the world said did it my government said that the government knew they knew from this very important intelligence report that cause a huge study to be done inside about what to do but it would take sixty thousand troops to get into the war we were thinking of maybe sending troops on the side of a shot really to get rid of this stuff we don't want these guys that have it and of course there was too many troops and it didn't happen but they knew there were two suspects that knew a noosa had the stuff in syria the stuff forget about having it analyzed they knew right away and they only talked about one and so i wrote an article saying wow that's a whole lot of folks and what i also learned because i was writing once later is that the material that was taken by russia russian and challenges which is quite what can i tell you russian intelligence in damascus i mean without russia i don't think he could have survived i think they saved a copy of a fifteen he was in trouble he might have survived anyway the army was holding

forth there wasn't collapsing as much as people thought that he was having trouble . anyway and by the way i'm always taken his apologist for bashar assad only doing is telling truth i'm telling facts period. people who fight wars all fight with same way he he doesn't do anything differently than we do we bomb the hell out of people how can the united states use the nuclear bomb and hiroshima did daylight bombing of major cities in germany one thousand forty four cities you know the scent the famous bombings that everyone dreads that just fire storms we just say somebody's house this is war criminal for fighting the war they say he was in a war a real war and by all accounts the casualties were almost the same of both sides if this is an apology that's just that's just people not wanting to believe not wanting to believe they prefer they just like letting their personal dislike overcome the reality the point is that it was analyzed important the brits had it and only which is

a laboratory we in america respect for those skilled in chemical weapons it was delivered the count was good liver to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff its name was norman dempsey dempsey takes it i write this categorically in the london review i write this i don't say who the source is but i say he takes it you don't hear him denying it you hear nothing said about this takes it to the president and says mr president you can't you don't have a case it's not clear it's not clear bashar did it the same day we learned later years later two thousand and fifteen. obama does a long interview with a man named jeffrey goldberg of land a monthly magazine one of his people he liked a lot twenty thousand word interview in the middle of the interview he says about that incident the red line the head of national intelligence a general named clapper air force one comes to see me and he says mr president. it's not a slam dunk which is you know like considered to be the that libya perhaps it's not that you know it so he didn't do the bombing because he didn't think he could win

the case in the public arena that's why he did do the bombing not because there was a deal made on getting rid of weapons he lied and so i write this stuff he didn't tell the truth syria wanted to get rid of the. what for sure is i want to i wrote in two thousand and three for the new yorker quoting mustapha to last the chief head of the fence of. these defense minister of syria have been defense minister for ten twenty years wrote a lot of poetry with stuff and i quote him saying at one point there was a worry that america may take syria and i said what would you do then he said what could i do and i said well you could use a chemical weapons and the call of was in the new yorker and it was read to him and you know the new yorker check stuff he approved this was in english he speaks english and he said to me. he said those things chemical weapons he says those things those use this things that the old man bashar as father want it off us he thought it was a deterrent against israel cost us a fortune we have to protect them it's a big pain he said if we use those weapons america could incinerate us with nukes

and they'd be right and so crazy would be to use those weapons i said what would you do then he said well we let america let the americans call that they come to damascus so let's see what happens i said what are you talking about he said just like in fact at the end when the when the when the when the knights of malta came in the thirteenth century the rivers would be full of their blood he said we have a resistance and so i remember going back and telling my general friends in washington you know this is not textbook you talk with the defense manage this it's not he's not going to defend the country is going to let you come and kill you when you get there they're different i remember saying you're not going to have it's not going to be like the fight against going to have a defense a perimeter and you're have to fight your way into the city he's going to let you in and get you when you're there it was very interesting but then he was prime minister here was telling us it is. the british troops should be involved we're getting huge amounts of persuasion here. i mean in syria now on syria up until say

you know the drought is over now and the kurds are cut a deal with bashar assad it's over and drums of changes policies because when it comes to doubt we've been having here a thing where russia has been accused on a regular basis in the british parliament of assassinating people in britain well that's the case is sort of falling apart there's been several courting from europe and i should say the book says you get all the. w m d context for stories for decades now you've. got to be of do you have for example there was a story and let's get let's get to the let me just say this there was a story in the press where syria was using chlorine in. the endgame in the isis and you know this spring there was an endgame. and there was a story that they were using sarin gas in chlorine together and so here's why helmets and footage. in the fifty's koreans are very volatile gas and it's of great interest to the it's not it's not a worry for egypt and there was

a story just the other day about syria drop the u.n. report going to drop this chlorine gas bomb there's no such thing it anybody's arsenal a korean bomb you have to how much chlorine can you put into it cory's a gas it dissipates quickly it moves quickly it's not lethal you can breathe and keep on what it's not it's not a war for agent you could there's no such bomb but even more important because chlorine so reactive in the chemical corps in america when they develop this nerve agents in the fifty's they thought let's see what happens if we meld chlorine with it maybe with soup it up make it even more more efficient as a killer and it turned out the chlorine immediately first thing it did in the field reports is published documents in the field corina immediately would go and grab all the hydrogen molecules from this era dignity disappeared so worked exactly the opposite in other words sarah and drop of chlorine would become just another use this gas it would be much less lethal the korean would make it weak so that you can't which isn't the way it was record you can't use sarin and chlorine together

just the nobody does any homework the script and we had geoffrey robertson q.c. one of the world's leading human rights biases on russia as a positive on this killing live in a go here the m i six by. we were told in this country i mean clearly this was a little military grade. nerve gas as if you have to population you that you can have no idea of military grade military grade v.x. . you could wipe out half of london with that one i mean it's really there was no well we'll call this story you'll take a look i've written about it so yes my something i have written the story i always had about it from my friends in america is. those two were helping your the british intelligence services with information about the russian mafia. that's what they were doing here in other words the people that would high on the list that would want to hurt them would be the russian mafia russians but not the russian got to worry about the script as well i mean that was the understanding and there's also

been some reporting in europe of it that it's been pretty much wiped widespread there was a story about the same after same thing that they were actually were doing work for the marriage for the british intelligence committee activities i mean there is a big russian mafia let's face it and but that is in the russian government all i would say is i think i'm in tell me what i was told but i haven't done a reporting on it so i don't know firsthand i know secondhand i've been told by people in america because you ask about it is that is that most likely the most likely they they were known to have been talking to the six and five relevant six or five people that i am i five or six people about what they knew about russian corruption in and you're not in russia again you know the activities and so the only you from there you can draw your own conclusions of all who wanted to further . let's sit for one of your favorite shows from this season will continue to show your favorite episodes and you went back for season four wins in the fifth of september till they got to the us but the social media.

will not be enough they would say it's really. alive all's from some manuals. i came back to the community and people we are based on and on the road. me all you got is all bible god's hands. she. uses you. don't.

touch me my life. i seem have to. pictures there from. demonstrations in the german city of camden soft or local was stabbed to death of an incident involving people of various nationalities that's according to local authorities similar concerns of a moderate integration rise in neighboring france as well we look at how all the issues being handled in western europe. the u.s. expansion of its capabilities near syria could be a sign washington's getting prepared ahead of a possible false flag chemical attack by terrorists. and the attorney for trump's lawyer backtracks on his groundbreaking claims about the

information his client could provide to prove russian collusion. international law from moscow. today welcome to today's program as chancellor merkel has said vigilante justice will not be tolerated after hundreds of demonstrations in the german city of that's both the right time left to activists gathered for a second consecutive day you can see live pictures now we can show you there. among police vehicles brought in to to try. pain and stop a second day of violence that's of course after the local was stabbed to death in an incident involving people of what authorities describe as various nationalities

and no major incidents have been recorded so far as we said is a huge police presence that's after yesterday's rally turned violent towards the end protesters held bottles of police who try to disperse the crowds. i was. party speed to all of our courts on just how small how small case sparked a massive protest wave which reflects an overall trends across western europe. well that crowd that we saw there of around eight hundred people including it said members of the far right football hooligan outfit marauding through central came it all was sparked following the stabbing to death of a thirty five year old man in the early hours of sunday morning two other people were seriously wounded in that incident a twenty two year old iraqi and a twenty three year old syrian man have been taken into custody following that and

it prompted opposition figures to come out and say that this shows that integration in germany isn't working that the police are failing to keep people safe now since twenty fifteen germany has taken in over a million refugees and migrants and integration has been a problematic issue the most recent proposal that was put forward which involved compulsory community service and also. also conscription into the military was recently dismissed by the chancellor. i don't want to ever introduce compulsory military service i've consulted with military chiefs the l.c. the professional soldier is not what it used to be and has changed. but it's not just in germany the question over integration has been raised in france senior figure within the center right republican party has said that the current policies

on integration aren't working and if things continue then european identity european civilization as he puts it as we know it could be at risk how can we fail to realize that we have reached the limit as regards integration and that this must immigration of today he poses a cultural threat to european civilization over three years since the first refugees in migrants started to arrive in europe there's certainly no consensus and no catch all solution on how to integrate them into society. there's tourney for donald trump's former lawyer has significantly backtracked on his earlier groundbreaking claims about the information his client could provide to help prove trump russia collusion artie's caleb moore purports from new york. now the attorney representing michael cohen has been going around the mainstream media in the united states saying that basically his client might have some big information regarding allegations of trump russia collusion it's been hinted at

that perhaps his client michael cohen knew about the alleged hacking of the democratic national committee it's also been hinted at that he knew some key detail about the meeting at trump tower on which the two russian nationals that met with donald trump jr and possibly discussed the dealing up of dirt on hillary clinton regardless this is what we've heard from larry davis the attorney representing michael cohen this is some of what he's been saying i can tell you that. mr cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel and is more than happy to toe the special counsel all of that he knows now following multiple big stories that have come out regarding these claims from the attorney we now hear the attorney representing michael cohen start to backtrack this is what are you saying more recently i should have been more clear including

with you that i could not independently confirm what happened i regret my era president trump has reacted to the backtracking from michael collins attorney on twitter he said the following michael cohen's attorney clarified the record saying his client does not know if the president knew anything about the trump tower meeting of which came nothing the answer is that i did not know about the meeting just another phony story by the fake news media now why is this such a big deal in the first place well if this story had indeed been true it would be significant evidence of trumped russia collusion which is the entire stated purpose of the bob mower investigation baumol or the special counsel was appointed for the purpose of investigating allegations that trump colu did with russia during the twenty sixteen presidential election but after a year. and a half of investigation no collusion has been discovered now we have seen charges against two former associates of donald trump but the charges had nothing to do with russia no evidence of any trumped russia collusion has been discovered so it

appears that mainstream media would seem to report these statements as if they were breaking news and a big evidence of a big amount of truth about a big discovery of trumped russia collusion well they're now backtracking and once again what they thought was big news about russia collusion has backfired and we're seeing backtracking from the claims it looks like there is still no evidence being produced regarding trump russia collusion and the special counsel investigation of bob mueller continues after a year and a half without having surfaced really anything but it seems there is some evidence that comes from the hands of total trump himself.

i noticed the similarity between this plaque that trump colored and this other one from russia it appears from may have been trying to color in the flag of russia at some point someone will notice that my coloring in a blue stripe into the red and white stripes of the u.s. flag today president trump was starting to create a russian flag now that's what i call the freud and sleep blue stripe on his u.s. flag you know we don't have random white stripes but russian flag has raged blue stripes from subconscious trying to communicate we should listen. to. the syrian government says it's ready to recapture the last major rebel

stronghold of it damascus has been deploying additional forces to the front line of the enclave though it still says it is willing to pursue a course of reconciliation however that idea was snubbed by the key militant group controlling the area. its leader warned other factions against talking to damascus . i mean while the russian defense ministry says the u.s. is expanding its strike capabilities near syria moscow says it has intelligence that geologists are intending to stage a chemical attack which the west could use to justify action against the syrian government. a strike on capers eiter using poison laden missiles is planned within

the next forty eight hours that some players outside the region are preparing yet more provocations on syrian soil involving chemical weapons with the aim of destabilizing the situation there and undermining the positive dynamics of the ongoing peace process. more the missive warns that it's the white helmets pro rebel group that will be there first with cameras and tweets as they usually are whenever there were rumors of chemical attacks and we reached out to them for comment and as is also usual the u.s. and its power stabbed ready with guns drawn we now see plans for the syrian regime to resume offensive military activities in it with. we are obviously. about the possibility that it may use chemical weapons again if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly it's

getting very hot in the area america's just pulled up another guided missile cruiser packed with tomahawk missiles the weapon of choice when attacking syria also u.s. strategic bombers heavy duty stuff have just arrived in the neighborhood the russians also acting moving more and more ships to the mediterranean rumors say submarines too and it's cool dreadfully reminiscent of what happened last time. neal weeks before the alleged chemical incident in ghouta the incident that

provoked a british friends and us missile barash well mia weeks before that the russians warned that rebels were preparing to stage a chemical attack now they have warning it will happen and. which begs the question why oh why would ask who has almost won this war why would he launch a chemical attack and invite disaster now there is no value for syria or its allies in using chemical weapons against any of the terrorists syria is already winning syria has already won along with its allies along with russia and with iran and hezbollah they have already essentially defeated the tech feed terrorist cleanup time the other thing you've got is we have so many times been told that the organization for the preventing prohibition of chemical warfare has emptied syria of all of its chemical weapons this happened

a few years ago but we keep getting told syria is making chemical weapons. french president some at all mark said his plans for europe's the fence speaking to the country's ambassadors he on the line the region security can no longer rely so heavily on the united states. europe can no longer rely solely on the united states received curity sent to us today to take responsibility in guarantee european security and consequently european sovereignty mr michael went to outline a number of quite united states such a very similar to cripes that the european union has with the united states and particularly the trump administration there things such as the trade wars that we've seen in recent months this is the hiking of steel an element in tariffs with countries around the world also the fact that the trumpet ministration his withdrawal from the paris climate accord it's also withdrawn from the iranian

nuclear deal earned of course there has been doubts from the trumpet ministration particularly from president trump himself over nato itself which is the security force bowings the u.s. and europe now he's talked in the past saying that he thinks the u.s. is doing too much so all of these concerns have prompted my own say we can't now rely on the u.s. for security we have to do something about it ourselves what is that well he's talked about this close defense cooperation here in europe but he's also said that europe needs to look beyond its borders and to look to other countries such as russia in the feature. film for stamp this reinforce on a dirty word imply revisiting the european architecture of difference in security by negotiating with new dialogue on cyber security chemical weapons conventional weaponry territorial conflicts space security the protection of the polish don't simply take it with russia i want to launch exhaustive reflection with our european partners in a broad sense with russia but defense relationship with russia mr michael said

depends on europe and russia finding a mutual agreement in progress when it comes to the minsk peace agreement on the continuing conflict in. praying so it seems that as the u.s. continues to isolate the. itself of the long standing partners such as you the european union that could be out paving the way to new relationships with other countries turn their heads. so let's go live now to a political analyst nicholas middle of it's thanks for joining us good to have you on the program today europe and the us they've had a military alliance well since the end of the second world war nato what has changed now all of a sudden do you think. i think i mean what is changing now is first of all what donald trump has said during his political campaign that he thought that nader was obsolete he's been constantly repeating this in his entourage and you know he's

conscious of a strong struggle within the state in the u.s. concerning needle i think you know the ripples of what donald trump center in his campaign and his position is and we both know that we all know that micro is getting good on time well with donald trump so i think he's testing this out on the american public don't forget that this is a very important for macro who is preparing the next european elections which will take place in may of next year and he is one of the first i would say european presidents to speak openly about reviewing all of mine says and what the future of need to be your what the future of a european defense could be he also stated different examples that france and germany are working on today which are independent of nato so it is quite interesting i don't think it means that it's going to be the end of nato but definitely do see that nato as an institution and dating back to nine hundred forty nine is cracking from different different bases from the u.s. that's where it started off and now maybe france is going into an extra kick in the

dark and so this could this could maybe be some sort of rethinking of what the defense of europe and then i've seen the u.s. and europe could be and it's not the first time such sentiments have been expressed is that the german foreign minister mentioned something similar as well do you think european leaders will listen to him do you think there's some sort of a consistency an agreement in europe on the. no there's no consistency on this and there is a very strong prune nato i would say i thinking with most of the next in the right a center parties which are governing a lot of the countries today i think this is something new for them this is some sort of shock because a lot of these people have always been in a political system with nato being deficient defense organization of europe i think that donald trump has said that he wants to get out of it and i think i honestly that he's not giving a lot of a choice to a lot of his political allies in europe saying that this is the direction that the u.s. is taking and i think he's not doing them so much of a choice i think if hillary clinton had been elected in the case of donald trump we

wouldn't be hearing european politicians say this i think he told his to his his alliance that he wants to find some sort of alternative or a new type of working together with european countries and this could mean the end of nato and no mental map will test it in front of all the french ambassador today which is quite quite novel and i think quite a brave position for a french president so for his singing his background so we have to see what that's going to give people the of course european presidents we're running out of time but i just want to ask you briefly do you think this is as a as a cause or a consequence of a double trumps america first policy that was one of his key cornerstones of his manifesto do you think that something that has led to this slight rift between the united states and europe i think it's a consequence definitely you can politicians and macro will say it's a cause because they will say that they differ on this america first theory but i think it's a consequence there is a whole set of very clear today we have to review all the alliances we're trying to

see of the past century there are emerging there are new powers also spoke today about fascinating or frightening new powers which are which are rising they have to review this and i think it's quite courageous on a macro on this specific subject to say that they have to review the defense of europe today don't forget that europe is paid by different problems concerning crime because the migration can. poverty and defense is one of the first concerns of every european people today not cross to show that he's going to announce those preoccupations for the next election and european elections in may of twenty nineteen or what political analyst nicole america votes thanks for joining us today good to get your take on that story thank you. well the u.n. is calling for the prosecution of myanmar as military officials will tell you why just off to this short break.

what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be rich. to do like to be first it's like the tree in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the long as it. should be. thank.

you. welcome back to r.t. now he would investigate to say top military officials in my arm are should be prosecuted for genocide and crimes against humanity directed towards the muslims there are a minority group in the southeast asian country who are not viewed as citizens the patterns of gross human rights violations and serious violations of international humanitarian law that is found amount to the greatest crimes under international law that's we found include rape ganguly sexual slavery forced nudity and mutilation military forces in the predominantly buddhist country launched

a violent crackdown on rohingya muslims a year ago that was in response to the rebel attacks on police outposts the action forces more than seven hundred thousand people to flee the country the un considers it to be the world's fastest growing refugee crisis the global bodies report concluded military needs would never just the fire burning down entire villages assaulting children gang raping women and killing indiscriminately and share of the u.n. fact finding mission on myanmar most uki believes the atrocities are a consequence of systemic and institutionalized oppression. it was just waiting to happen and therefore the fact that we assemble. clearly shows a gradual build up. of discriminatory policies against a very specific community there or yes. and therefore. this. reached

a point in. a problematic situation. because all of that. time which is only time that erupts into this. horrific tragedy. all that un report also blamed the country's defacto leader aung san suu kyi for not using her role or moral or forty to stop the atrocities she's previously what a nobel peace prize along with a u.s. congressional gold medal and has been a darling of the western media throughout the last year though she repeatedly denied any ethnic cleansing took place you use terms like ethnic cleansing which i think is a little extreme it just plays into the hands of extremists and not a fact finding mission appointed by the united nations would not have helped the situation it would have created great cost to hostility between the different

communities do you ever worry that you will be remembered as. the champion of human rights the nobel laureate who fail to stand up to ethnic cleansing in her own country no because i don't think that ethnic cleansing going on i think ethnic cleansing is too strong or an expression to use what's happening at the state council or. we have a neighbor who do more than what you have and. she was clearly derelict of her responsibilities and we were just a disappointment that if you don't you moral authority. to do something about this you have to start to stand. policies that need to be there to address. iran is taking legal action against the u.s. government i would all trumps the situation to reimpose sanctions the moves that

set both countries on a collision course. the spartans he is martin. gratian. who calls mark simone damage to the doll he runs filing with the international court of justice was an attempt to interfere with the sovereign rights of the united states to take lawful action including the reimposition of sanctions which are necessary to protect our national security. overseer donald trump pulled the u.s. out of the twenty fifteen nuclear pact between iran and a number of world powers he announced unilateral plans to restore sanctions against iran those include restrictions on buying american currency as well as trading metals including precious ones as well now the sanctions were met with resistance from washington skill as those included many european countries as well now the e.u. even updated its own blocking statute that limits the impact of the sanctions on the interests of european companies that do legitimate business in iran well that

came into effect just over twenty days ago now iranian political analysts say at mustapha hashmi believes the u.s. is losing its key allies with its aggressive rhetoric. but the u.s. is trying hard in order to force to iran to comply with the u.s. demands the u.s. demands include harnessing and limiting iran's power components that iran's missile in this re end is a regional influence and clout they have failed to you know. that growth of iran's power components now they are trying to you know pressure to iran to agree to their terms through at least a dozen actions hostile actions in the area of economy but this time around this situation is completely different from what it was before the nuclear deal and now it is been isolated even though you're all peons as key partners and allies

nato allies of the united states are standing up to the u.s. in order to diffuse the pressure on iran. the russian pacific fleet has been put through its paces during drills on the cumshots kept putting this into the war games required hitting targets up to five hundred meters away here's a look at some of the highlights. and that's it for myself on the team for the solid join us again in thirty five minutes for the latest global news upton's.

hello and welcome to crossfire we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle on this edition of crossfire we consider one question is donald trump america first policy in contradiction to the washington consensus idea of american exceptionalism the answer to this question will likely define trump's presidency and change the world in the process. cross talking american exceptionalism i'm joined by my guest michael flanagan in washington he's president of flanagan consulting and a former congressman in charlottesville we have david swanson he is the director of

world beyond war dot org and in northwood we cross to introduce palm our he is a professor of international politics at city university london all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated let me go to david first because he's written a book on the topic titled curing exceptionalism ok we have about a year and a half of this presidency i'm getting a pretty good idea what america first means in the mind of donald trump and i know very well what american exceptionalism is and i'm not a big proponent of it. are is donald trump incompatible with his american firsts policies with washington's insistence. and digging their heels in very deep that american exceptionalism must be maintained go ahead david in charlottesville. i guess the short answer is no i don't see it look at what donald trump does in terms of foreign policy in terms of continuing u.s.

imperialism and he is dropping more bombs he is building more bases he is getting more military spending out of congress demanding more military spending out of europe shipping weapons to more places including ukraine continuing to insist on the u.s. right to do what it wants in places like ukraine and nicaragua and around the world he's not switching policies allowing the people of afghanistan or nicaragua or anywhere else to decide their own fate i mean the changes are all rhetorical and and in terms of mannerisms and style people in. people abroad outside the united states who see him as radically different because he blurts out things he doesn't act on like nato is obsolete seems to me as as superficial as people within the united states who say the people the vote in crimea to rejoin russia was the big threat to peace and stability in the rule of

law of the past centuries. looking at actions rather than at. ment's i don't see it continuing us policy but the good points made there michael none the less we we have the reaction of where you are this the epicenter of the swamp they see trump is being very much a threat to the outlook that has been cultivated and inforced i would point out since the end of the second world war particularly since the end of the cold war so i mean michael is right on all these points here but that's not how the people that we used to run the show see it that way and they're pushing back against them in very very severe very peculiar ways and in using the media to push against him go ahead michael. yeah i think the swamp has a collectivist view definitely denies american exceptionalism writs small and that

is america has the best workers in the world and we have an exceptional view of our future and we are we yourselves as is the shining light of the world and then you have excess merican exceptionalism written large which as a matter of foreign policy means that we'll run the world. the i think writ small trump is a huge champion of that writ large i think your other guest is correct is he's not he's not a big champion of america run the world in the sense that we will make foreign policy for the world but we will behave any way we need to to protect our security and that that is often irrespective of what nicaragua wants or what anybody else wants and i think trump is definitely a proponent of that the swamp would rather have us collectively sit with the european powers basically you know europe almost exclusively and and discuss what we need to do around the world while we pay the freight and they make the decisions and i think trump is trying to bring an end to that by threatening nato not not as

an institution like eisenhower did by the way in his presidency but to say that it's not an organization that we're going to support exclusively and move on forward with interchange a you know i think combined of what we've just heard from michael and david so america first american exceptionalism they have to find the worst possible elements of both and they're being can bind that's what i've gotten from this conversation so far go ahead and norwood northwood i don't think i would violate li disagree with. the you just. i think american exceptionalism is a is a particular kind of nationalism and that nationalism as attached to it a great sense of the uniqueness and superiority and to a large degree insoles of that by what is behind certain kinds of values and. where president trump probably it differs from his previous esas by president obama and george w. bush as well is that in

a way he's he's rejected the rhetoric of values of democracy or human rights and promoting those kind of liberal bias. in favor of the kid up so i would say that that's the principal difference between those two there is also a strategic disagreement as well and i think that largely is around. the relationship that the united states or president trump is building with russia and the bigger geopolitical picture i think which he has in his mind mostly. in reconsider the home secretary of state about some kind of a possible russian chinese splits and i think there's a big disagreement about that but that's a strategic question the overall united states continues to exert its up but i think the rhetoric around values i think president trump doesn't have any time he's much more about asserting who are or aren't up on the dollar or the of the trade of

market access and of the american military ok well david i mean it i guess in a way trump is probably more honest than his predecessors because he doesn't talk about democracy promotion as you know but that it's always been a cover and i think only people in the swamp actually believe in that rhetoric anymore forcefully bringing democracy to the world i don't see where it works no one's ever empirically proven it to me but but so really it's the same thing. it's american exceptionalism with the just a different rhetoric i guess you know that makes a lot of sense go ahead david. that's exactly right the rhetoric has changed a lot more than the substance of the disagreement between the make america great again people and the america already has great people is not around the need for the united states to have double standards and a set of laws only for itself and superiority the rest of the world that is universally agreed upon in washington the disagreements around rhetoric around

domestic policies and around russia and the demand from the from the democrats i wouldn't dignify it by calling it strategic it's more trying to explain hillary clinton's loss and hating anything trump does so if he threatens north korea that's crazy if he fails to threaten russia that's crazy you know that the disagreement is is around this this mythical story of evil deeds of russia and their gargantuan significance in the in the context of the good us law abiding behavior and there you know you can give trump credit for refusing to bow to the russia gaiters otherwise i give him very little credit for anything. as he continues disastrous policies that are taking this country and the rest of the world over a cliff you know again. the rhetoric is is certainly different but and some of the actions are too i mean i don't think any of us really took seriously that there

would be a meeting with kim so soon nothing much came of it and now he wants to meet with the iranian leader a days before in capital letters on twitter threatening and i mean michael how do you explain that or is that just expediency the midterms it's the here and now and worry about the implications later because i mean from the on the outside looking in this is very confusing and we're supposed to be experts to be able to figure this stuff out go ahead michael. i think one of the hallmarks of trump's foreign policy is that it's trump it's not a collective view of the state department with way and this from d o d and other places and intelligence it's trump it's and he's proven to be fairly adept at it so far however you may or may not like the outcomes he's gotten in with korea he's reworked trade agreements in europe and elsewhere some of it has been to our total benefit some of it has been conciliatory benefit. we enjoy

a relationship with china we haven't had and maybe ever. i don't know that what he's doing is confusing bad evil wrong or fattening but what i do know is that it's in his head and it's been working with us far. talking diplomatic level and so i'm not prepared to throw it over just because i don't understand no no you know i get on with that which i don't understand i can't i get your point maybe i get your point i mean in the way he sees the world here and his base and i think it may go back to northwood here it seems to me. even a year a year and a half in the dawn of time doesn't have a lot of interest in foreign policy he's made a group of promises on the stump and he's committed to realizing each one of them i've never seen it a president so adamant going through his checklist ok is it really his that he is. idea of american exceptionalism american for us is it really does domestic politics

driving it for him. well i think you're right i mean there is a very very great interest in domestic politics and he has made all the promises and as you say i think the first thing that steve brandon did when he entered the white house is it's a i've wanted to put up a white board with a whole lot of the promises made and i'll start taking them all but i think the foreign policy perspective the president from hers is one of increasing american power and extracting as much of value economically commercially financially and so on from our allies associated powers don't form enemies and i think all that is down to who's our long term idea that america has been ripped off and i think if you look at domestic politics the kind of people you defined as or americans. basically so you can say message but you have been ripped off white american men in particular by women by minorities by immigrants and so on and you lost status of

what he's going to do or a store america not going to just going to jump in here or mail of whom we have an american we are really have a large brain reserve sort of after all i'm going to short break we'll continue our discussion on american exceptionalism stay with. israel's got a lot of oil but there are many refineries and this is you know they're trying to levers our oil position and throw the machinations of a crypto currency you know my suggestion is you know maybe build a few refineries you know sell a higher end product and put that money back into the economy in this way may take ten or fifteen years but you're not going to be taken over by some.

you know world of big partisan movies 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 bath 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 watching the hawks. come across like we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing american exceptionalism.

ok david you know ever since trump entered the the oval office a lot of it's been trying to understand if there's a rhyme or reason to his foreign policy and i think that even on this program it's kind of coming together it seems to me it's kind of like going back to the nineteenth century great powers competition without all the values that they were pushed since the second world war it just it's just really kind of brute power and advantage and looking for competitive advantage and it's very brusque and it seems to appeal just as interesting pointed out to us in the first part of the program it does appeal to his base go ahead david yeah i think you know it appears to be all donald trump but just as you know reagan and gorbachev came out of the meeting and were told by their advisers no no no you can't get rid of nuclear weapons every

time trump has a good idea like get rid of nafta of nato he talks to his advisors and it's off the table i think that you know it was actually an actual break with u.s. exceptionalism is not on the agenda of donald trump or his advisors i mean it would look like joining the international criminal court joining the convention on the rights of the child joy in the united states is party to fewer major human rights treaties then almost any other nation on earth it would mean giving up the veto at the united nations it would mean getting out of afghanistan there's a promise i'd like to keep i mean this is a guy who promised no more of these wars and their family you know killed their families bombed the bleep out of them so it's easy to say he's keeping his promise because he promised black and white but the ones i'd like him to keep he's not keeping us. well as you know a few like building the wall and walking up hilary that i don't necessarily need him to keep either but this is not this is

a guy who thinks he's running the world and it's dangerous to what extent he is but he's not overruling the weapons dealers or the big players in washington d.c. you know yeah michael that seems to be very contradictory because he said in interviews that the united states shouldn't be the policeman of the world but in fact it remains the same ok am particularly you know i mean look at the the korean peninsula i mean a peace between the koreas denuclearization maybe the american troops could go home there'd be no reason from the be there and then the entire foreign policy elite has their hair on fire like oh my god please don't let it break out it will change our world ok i mean it seems to me that he just go on really up against the the street you know against the the stream there and he keeps coming out with these ideas i mean you know i said earlier i mean you know threatening iran in the most chorus way and then saying i'd like to meet you in no condition preconditions i mean the

outside looking in finds that very very confusing i mean the rains have already said through their aides is that while we sit down with someone that broke a country that broke a treaty that we just signed only a few years ago i mean i how does that show that america leading go ahead michael. no it wasn't a treaty and they didn't sign anything but that's that's a semantic problem we have been able to know well it's an international has agreed i mean no they were it was a it's multilateral it wasn't just with the americans ok go ahead. but i think the the the the point you're making is good and it's correct but if it stops and i think that's what we have to focus on is that the goals his foreign policy goals are as the professor correctly observed although i think for the reasons different than he observes that and that is that we are interested in better trade we are interested in exercising our trade power and to increase american presence and wealth at home american exceptionalism america first through trade treaties

through trade work as opposed to naked aggression and use of foreign power which other presidents have used obama was soundly criticized on the right for wanting to meet with the iranians with no preconditions i find it interesting that my brothers on the right don't have a problem with trump doing the same thing i just i just throw that out as an observation well i mean i think that you know but michael's back to hang on hang on but hang on michael i mean in the same week basically threatening hostilities with the rand and then saying you want to meet with preconditions you don't have to worry about your friends on the left or right you have to try to figure out what the president is talking about ok that's not my point and you know this was the same. you know your point is right but this is the same tactic we took with north korea now little camera man blah blah blah you know terrible person going to face the earth you know boss off a serious next thing in our meeting in singapore this is the art of the deal this is a part of the tactics of moving forward this is part of the noise involved in making

the deal and making the negotiation and doing the work and it's trump he is unique he is rare he is something we haven't seen before the swamp can't make head or tail out of them and nor can anyone else and this goes back to my earlier point which was just buckle up just as you've observed many times peter buckle up and you're just going to have to wait to see how a poilus out for a swap will do their best to keep their arm around it i just don't know how it's going to work out ok brace for impact ok go back to you here then and then ok so what is the justification for the united states being in afghanistan it's not bringing democracy there anymore apparently what what what how is what's the justification for the in the eagle behavior of the united states in syria or is it bringing democracy there anymore it's not apparently so why are they still there so i mean this makes it very patently obvious that just brute force beyond international law this is what trumpet is opening up to go ahead. well i think you

know when we look at the big picture a little change we have our whole range of new emerging powers some of which are very. recent military and they're looking around the world resources and they're looking to increase their him in order to protect their lines in china for example is building the one built one road initiative which is going to be on the right across from china all the way to spain and to the indian ocean you've got non-state actors like isis and other organizations also challenging the. allies and other regimes as well and i think what really president trump is trying to do is effectively grapple with the same problem. which post-hole or presidents of. to try to outline which is the whole world environment change the big difference i think with president from he doesn't really look at the idea. of building an orderly system or ordered

a rules based system or rather he wants to open it up you want to loosen it up and he wants to make it more transactional but i think what he's trying to do it's look we've got this big international series of rishi it's america's been ripped off its own too much it's has too many large deficits with everybody and what we're going to do is we're going to nationals and try to re negotiate. and effectively the board and everybody else ok not that the big grown ok although again like i said it looks like it's going back to the great powers of the nineteenth century without all of the rhetoric at least it's more transparent david you you mentioned russia is it really worth it for trump to go down this path that we had the helsinki summit i was critical of the president's delivery at the press conference like i was in singapore is well it's not his forte it's got to work on his game there and then he wanted another summit and then what blocked it back the

russians and invited him to moscow why is this so important to him is it a campaign promise or is it just you know the media hates it when he does it and that he just pushes back the show that i am president i'm going to do what i want to do what is his fascination here go ahead david. well i think there is is all kinds of pressure on him to meet with and work with russia and to not do so and to treat russia as having attacked the united states and started a war and to engage in war with russia and everywhere in between i think that it's appropriate that the united states and russia as the major nuclear weapons powers meet and get rid of those damn things before they destroy us i think it's critical for the united states and russia as two of the nations doing the most to destroy our natural environment to meet and start reversing all the policies david that's not so much on the agenda. i mean complete agreement with you in on this they would

they would have what why it seems to me that. engagement with russia should come out very clear twitter is fine with me i need to deal with a lot of your putin to sign a new arms control agreement it's about to expire in two thousand and twenty one this is what's most important to all of humanity why can't you just write that i mean that is very straightforward and you know what david it's transactional what trump is supposed to be all about go ahead david well it would make perfect sense it would fit with some of his agenda of body it is not where he comes from it's not something he knows anything about it's not something he's hired anybody to keep around him who would advise him to do and it's you know the has got the us media and the democrats and half the public screaming at him not to do anything cooperative with russia even if it kills us all so it's not shocking that he hasn't

come out with that position of but he should eat good in the world and russia should be pushing him in that direction ok all right michael. where does he go from this from his russia gambit now i mean he's put it off until next year because of the midterm. it's because he can't do anything transactional because just like david said perfect crystal clear even trying to save humanity he's the boogie man donald trump is evil incarnate even if he wants to save humanity that's a problem in the united states that's a problem with american exceptionalism forty seconds to you michael my friend last word real quick and i promise to stay and save my time what the trump never telegraphs what he's going to do will make promises in a campaign context he'll have elude to things in a domestic policy context he's never going to say up front what he's going to do it's one of his huge criticisms of his predecessors and so because he hasn't said

it's there doesn't mean it's not going to be there and he's had some surprises foreign policy wise stuff no one expected but it was always part of his design and i think that we just have to buckle up and wait well you know that's why i call you one of my donald trump and sharpers that was a very good answer i like that that's all the time we have gentlemen many thanks to my guests in washington charlottesville and in northwood and thanks to our viewers for watching us here darkie see you next time and remember. it was you know provision of my by going to i wanted to. say oh. you're so your height oh i lost his buskers. which was

really i am not i am at the. latest pictures that you can see from the second day of demonstrations in the german city of cabinet software a local was stabbed to death. incident involving both was described as people of various nationalities similar concerns over margaret integration rising in neighboring france as well we look at how the issues being handled in western you also the saudi attorney for trump's former lawyer backtracks on his earlier groundbreaking claims about the information in his mind could provide proof from russia collusion. and un investigators say top military officials in my and mark should be prosecuted for genocide and crimes against humanity directed towards really good muslims.

from oscar what's your to international just go on eleven pm moscow time on daniel hawkins for if you are welcome to the program. german chancellor angela merkel has said vigilante justice will not be tolerated after hundreds took part in demonstrations in the german city of kemet both right time left to activists gathered for a second executive after a local was stabbed to death. ascribed the incident as involving people of various nationalities alone no major incidents reported so far there has been a huge police presence of yesterday's rally turned violent on sunday protestors hold bottles of police who try to disperse the crowd i. i

. artist peter oliver reports now on how a small case sparked a massive protest wave which also reflects an overall trend across western europe. well that crowd that we saw there of around eight hundred people including it said members of the far right football hooligan outfit lording through central came it all was sparked following the stabbing to death of a thirty five year old man in the early hours of sunday morning two other people were seriously wounded in that incident a twenty two year old iraqi and a twenty three year old syrian man have been taken into custody following that and it prompted opposition figures to come out and say that this shows that integration in germany isn't working that the police are failing to keep people safe now since twenty fifteen germany has taken in over a million refugees and migrants and integration has been

a problematic issue the most recent proposal that was put forward which involved compulsory community service and also. also conscription into the military was recently dismissed by the chancellor. i don't want to bring to use compulsory military service i've consulted with military chiefs the i'll see that the profession of soldier is not what it used to be and has changed. but it's not just in germany the question over integration has been raised in france senior figure within the center right republican party has said that the current policies on integration aren't working and if things continue then european identity european civilization as he puts it as we know it could be at risk. how can we fail to realize that we have reached the limit as regards integration and that this mass immigration of today he poses a cultural threat to european civilization over three years since the first

refugees in migrant started to arrive in europe the certainly no consensus and no catch all solution on how to integrate them into society. let's go live now to geopolitical analyst and consultant dr rona roth for us thanks for joining us dr good to have you on the program as always why do you think something that was seen as a small domestic incident turned into something like this a protest wave across the city. well we can see that the tensions grow higher and higher in respect to the migration issues and the related security issues and the frustration among certain parts of the population grows as it seemingly is not possible with existing security system also the traditional system to take care of the growing challenges in the security system

and this is a very problematic situation because then it becomes a real threat that citizens who are. already really frustrated and aggressive take to the streets and also try to punish. people who look as if they were refugees or migrants and attack them and this is a situation where release societies and coherence insights. and interior raids a lot and therefore i think it's really urgent to take measures to bring together again the different opposing groups also in the political battle field because so far the problems have not really been tackled people who have criticised the security situation have just been playing to the. right and

therefore also citizens have the feeling that policymakers are not really aware of the troubles some people are facing on the streets and they demand more and the real action and speaking of policymakers of course said vigilante justice what we tolerated do you think that something all thought is a word about more violence coming from protesters both on the left on the right of the political spectrum. of course this would be a normal process that the situation deteriorates in that direction that protesters also become while in the streets they take security in their own hands and this is of course not a good solution for democracy and for a law based state and therefore the security system also the judicial system has to make clear that there is an effective system of crime prevention

and there is also an effective system in place of punishing committed crimes and not just coloring the situation due to philly by presenting statistics that was done by interior minister. claimed that the security situation was better then ever since one thousand nine hundred ninety two but it just took some statistics which did not really reflect the situation on the streets he left out all those cases that were reported to the police but were never really taken further because of lack of capacity on behalf of the police he did not mention that your crime. really rose by almost twenty five percent in the past two years and citizens just need to to understand that the policy makers do take care but they also have

to confront and solve the problems ok dr reiner office well out of time thanks for joining us the greats have your on you want to die thanks for your take a joke let's go honest consultant writer office. and other headlines the attorney for donald trump's former lawyer has significantly backtracked on his earlier groundbreaking claims about inflation his client could provide to help prove trump russia collusion. reports from new york. now the attorney representing michael cohen has been going around the mainstream media in the united states saying that basically his client might have some big information regarding allegations of trump russia collusion it's been hinted at that perhaps his client michael cohen knew about the alleged hacking of the democratic national committee it's also been hinted at that he knew in some key detail about the meeting at trump tower on which the two russian nationals that met with donald trump jr and possibly

discussed the dean up of dirt on hillary clinton regardless this is what we've heard from the attorney representing michael cohen this is some of what he's been saying i can tell you that mr cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel and is more than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows is michael cohen have evidence of that. this is one thing to do this morning above all which is to not have evidence what he knows about mr trump's level of knowledge of the hacking and attempted interference in our democracy. russian agents would be of interest to mr. following multiple big stories that have come out regarding these claims from the attorney we now hear the attorney representing michael cohen start to backtrack

this is what are you saying more recently i should have been more clear including with you that i could not independently confirm what happened i regret my ira president trump has reacted to the backtracking from michael collins attorney on twitter he said the following michael cohen's attorney clarified the record saying his client does not know if the president knew anything about the trump tower meeting of which came nothing the answer is that i did not know about the meeting just another phony story by the fake news media now why. is this such a big deal in the first place well if this story had indeed been true it would be significant evidence of trumped russia collusion which is the entire stated purpose of the bomb our investigation baumol or the special counsel was appointed for the purpose of investigating allegations that trumped colu did with russia during the twenty sixteen presidential election but after a year and a half of investigation no collusion has been discovered now we have seen charges against two former associates of donald trump but the charges had nothing to do

with russia no evidence of any trumped russia collusion has been discovered so it appears that mainstream media would seem to report these statements as if they were breaking news and had a big evidence of a big amount of truth about a big discovery of trumped russia collusion well they're now backtracking and once again what they thought was big news about russia collusion has backfired and we're seeing backtracking from the claims it looks like there is still no evidence being produced regarding trump russia collusion and the special counsel investigation of bob mueller continues after a year and a half without having surfaced really anything it does seem though there is some evidence that it's come from the hands of the trump himself.

i noticed the similarity between this plaque that trump colored and this other one from russia it appears from may have been trying to color in the flag of russia at some point someone will notice that white coloring in a blue stripe into the red and white stripes of the u.s. flag today president trump was starting to create a russian flag now that's what i call the freud and sleep from color to blue stripe on his u.s. flag we all know we don't have red and white stripes but russia flag has red white blue stripes from subconscious trying to communicate we should listen. to.

you and investigators say top military officials in myanmar should be prosecuted for genocide and crimes against humanity directed towards a range of muslims are a minority group in the southeast asian country viewed or rather not viewed as citizens. the patterns of gross human rights violations and serious violations of international humanitarian law that is found amount to the greatest crimes under international law that's we found include rape sexual slavery forced nudity and mutilation military forces in the predominantly buddhist country launched a violent crackdown on rohingya muslims a year ago that was in response to rebel attacks on police outposts the action forces more than seven hundred thousand people to flee the country the un considers it to be the world's fastest growing refugee crisis the global bodies report concluded military means would never justify burning down entire villages assaulting children raping women and killing indiscriminately and the chair of the

u.n. fact finding mission on myanmar. believes the atrocities are a consequence of systematic and institutionalized oppression. this is a tragedy that was just waiting to happen and therefore the fact that we assemble. clearly shows a gradual build up. of discriminatory policies against a very specific community there you know yes. and therefore. have reached a high point that have been. problematic situation. it was so low that . it was just. it was just only time that erupt into this. horrific tragedy. the un report also blamed the countries the

facto leader. cue for using her role moral authority to stop the atrocities she's previously what a nobel peace prize along with a u.s. congressional gold medal that's been a darling of the western media throughout the last year she repeatedly denied any ethnic cleansing took place when you use terms like ethnic cleansing which i think is a little extreme it just plays into the hands of extremists and not a fact finding mission appointed by the united nations would not help help the situation it would have created great hostility between the different communities do you ever worry that you will be remembered as. the champion of human rights the nobel laureate who fail to stand up to ethnic cleansing in her own country no because i don't think that ethnic cleansing going on i think ethnic cleansing is too strong or an expression to use what's happening at the state council or. you

have a neighbor who do more than what if you haven't done. he was clearly derelict of her responsibilities and we were just a disappointment that if you don't you moral authority. to do something about this you have to start to stand. policies that need to be there to address. and what about micron says europe may need to look elsewhere when it comes to its security well sonny why offset this short break.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember in one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom box.

i will come back to r.t. international the syrian government says it's ready to recapture the last major rebel stronghold of lib damascus has been deploying additional forces to the front line of the enclave though it still says it's willing to pursue a course of reconciliation however that idea was snubbed by the key militant group controlling the area. its leader warned other factions from talking to damascus. i mean while the russian defense ministry says the u.s. is expanding its strike capabilities near syria moscow says it has intelligence

that jarvis are intending to stage a chemical attack which the west could use to justify action against the syrian government a strike on. using poison laid missiles is planned within the next forty eight hours that some players outside the region are preparing yet more provocations on syrian soil involving chemical weapons with the aim of destabilizing the situation there and undermining the positive dynamics of the ongoing peace process. more the missive warns that it's the white helmets pro rebel group that will be there first with cameras and tweets as they usually are whenever there were rumors of chemical attacks and we reached out to them for comment and as is also usual the u.s. and its power stabbed ready with guns drawn we now see plans for the syrian regime to resume offensive military activities and it would.

we are obviously. about the possibility that it may use chemical weapons again if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly it's getting very hot in the area america's just pulled up another guided missile cruiser packed with tomahawk missiles the weapon of choice when attacking syria also u.s. strategic bombers heavy duty stuff have just arrived in the neighborhood the russians also acting moving more and more ships to the mediterranean room it's a submarine stool and its fuel dreadfully reminiscent of what happened last time.

near weeks before the alleged chemical incident in ghouta the incident that provoked a british friends and us missile barash well mia weeks before that the russians warned that rebels were preparing to stage a chemical attack now they're warning it will happen. again which begs the question why oh why would ask who has almost won this war why would he launch a chemical attack and invite disaster now there is no value for syria or its allies in using chemical weapons against any of the terrorists syria is already winning syria has already won along with its allies along with russia and with iran and hezbollah they have already essentially

defeated the tech feed a terrorist cleanup time the other thing you've got is we have so many times been told that the organization for the prevent prohibition of chemical warfare has emptied syria of all of its chemical weapons this happened a few years ago but we keep getting told syria is making chemical weapons. french president about all my court has set his plans for europe's defense speaking to the country's ambassadors he underlined the region security can no longer rely so heavily on the united states. the pre-commit europe can no longer rely solely on the united states receipt curity to us today to take responsibility in guarantee european security and consequently european sovereignty mr michael went to outline a number of points to the united states which are very similar to cripes that the european union has with the united states and particularly the trumpet administration this things such as the trade wars that we've seen in recent months

this is the high king of steel an element in tariffs with countries around the world also the fact that the trumpet ministration his withdrawal from the paris climate accord it's also withdrawn from the iranian nuclear deal earned of course there has been doubts from the trumpet ministration particularly from president trump himself over nato itself which is the security force bowings the us and europe now he's talked in the past saying that he thinks the us is doing too much so all of these concerns have prompted my can say we can't now rely on the us for security we have to do something about it ourselves what is that well he's talked about this close defense cooperation here in europe but he's also said that europe needs to look beyond its borders and to look to other countries such as russia in the feature. film for stamp this reinforce on a dirty would imply revisiting the european architecture of difference in security

by nish eating renewed dialogue on cybersecurity chemical weapons conventional weaponry territorial conflicts space security the protection of the polish didn't seem particularly with russia i want to launch exhaustive reflection with our european partners in a broad sense with russia but defense relationship with russia mr mack said depends on europe and russia finding a mutual agreement in progress when it comes to the minute's peace agreement on the continued conflict in. praying so it seems that as the u.s. continues to isolate itself from longstanding such as you european union could be no paving the way to new relationships with other countries to manage. also for myself and a team for this hour join us again in hall full hour for the latest global news updates.
